A bit of a quiet month.
- I checked blead for any performance regressions compared with 5.40.0,
using Porting/bench.pl. I found only one significant one: UTF8 string
literals were inadvertently no longer being created Copy-on-Write.
- I created a PR which improves how OPs are dumped on threaded builds.
This will make certain types of debugging easier in the future.
- Fixed a bug.
- Tweaked my ParseXS AST PR.
Summary:
* 0:30 GH #23308 - MY_CXT doesn't like a 1-byte struct
* 11:09 improve CONST/GV OP dumping
* 2:50 investigate performance regressions
* 0:48 process p5p mailbox
* 0:32 reduce smoke failures
* 5:58 refactor Extutils::ParseXS
Total:
* 21:47 TOTAL (HH::MM)
