We thank the TPF sponsors to make this grant possible.
<pre>
(This report covers 2 months)
I eliminated new compiler warnings around perl's OS-level signal handler
functions by heavily reworking the mechanisms for declaring those
functions and their types and whether they accept 1 or 3 args.
I also did some investigation into why a multiply op becomes slower at
floating-point arithmetic once it's ever returned an integer value.
I hope to fix this soon. See https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=11109404
Finally, I tweaked some of Memoize's test script which were
time-sensitive and caused occasional smoke failures.
SUMMARY:
25:36 fix 3 arg signal handler
4:31 fix smoke failures
3:00 investigate unnecessary upgrade to SVt_PVNV
5:13 reduce smoke noise
------
38:20 TOTAL (HH::MM)
319.9 weeks
3443.8 total hours
10.8 average hours per week
There are 122 hours left on the grant
