With MANIFEST patch even! Woohoo!
Applied, thanks.
1) Is there any good reason to start now malloc(3) based array classes? This leads to code duplication for all the utility vtable entries (like C<splice>). F<src/list.c> can deal with all types already.
list.c's pretty inefficient for most array usage. It's good for mixed-type, sparse, or really big arrays, but for normal arrays it's overkill. A big wad of memory's just fine there.
2) What's the difference between *PMCArray and *BooleanArray?
The PMC arrays hold PMCs. The Boolean arrays hold true/false values only. -- Dan
