in PIR you can override (or implement) a vtable method using the :vtable flag. before that, in the past, this was done by prefixing the vtable name with 2 underscores.
While ack'ing for ".constant" (to be replaced with .macro_const), I found that the following file defines constants for all entries: runtime/parrot/include/vtable_methods.pasm for instance: 9:.constant PARROT_VTABLE_ADD_INT_METHNAME "__add_int" 2 questions arise: 1. is the double__underscore thing still supposed to work and if so, is it deprecated? 2. are the .constant definitions still needed? i.o.w., does updating that file make sense or can i save myself that trouble. thanks, kjs
