Not only that, but all of my grant work was included in the most recent release of Parrot, "3.5.0 "Menelaus"":http://parrot.org/news/2011/Parrot-3.5.0.

I recently increased test coverage of extend_vtable.c to over 95% achieving the milestone with a half percent buffer. It definitely wasn't easy, but I changed the way I was approaching writing tests and it resulted in a "huge burst of productivity":https://github.com/parrot/parrot/compare/5dd8c543ab...8c04cc3e66. I went through a test coverage report and wrote down, on an actual ... read more |

It is much like a zen study, where you methodically concentrate on many tiny little pebbles, one at a time, moving them in the sand, to just the right place. According to the latest code coverage statistics, we are now at "72% code coverage":http://tapir2.ro.vutbr.cz/cover/latest-c_cover/src-extend_vtable-c.html, which is an increase of about 8% since my last report. ... read more |

When we last left off our traveler, he explained what the mythical VTABLE beast looked like, and we shall continue with the study of this chimerical fauna.

Some dragons were slayed, a few trolls were paid tolls to cross creaky bridges of abstraction and many siren calls to hack on other code were dutifully ignored This "TPF":http://perlfoundation.org/ grant has forced me to become very familiar with Parrot vtables which is basically an API for talking to Parrot "PMCs":https://github.com/parrot/parrot/blob/master/docs/pdds/pdd17_pmc.pod PMC can stand for Parrot Magic ... read more |
