As per my grant conditions, here is a report for the November period.
Spent it continuing my overhaul of the re_eval mechanism. This month I made literal code blocks work properly within runtime patterns, i.e.
/$runtime(?{...})/
(they had already been made to work properly within compile-time patterns,
i.e. /foo(?{...})/ )
I also made it so that qr//'s embedded within other patterns are no longer simply stringified and interpolated into the new pattern; instead, any code blocks within the qr are reused rather than recompiled. So this now works:
{ my $x = 1; $r = qr/(??{$x})/ }
my $x = 2;
print "ok\n" if "1" =~ /^$r$/;
Over the last month I have averaged 13 hours per week.
As of 2011/11/30: since the beginning of the grant:
90.4 weeks
1015.4 total hours
11.2 average hours per week
There are now 285 hours left on the grant.
