Threads are considered experimental. There are a known GC bugs when running large threads on darwin and sometimes linux. There are no known problems when running large single-threaded programs. Reading from shared variables is transparent, writing must be done via scheduled updater subs on the owner thread. You can use the API without using native OS threads by configuring --without-threads. Parrot 4.11.0 News: - Core + Parrot now supports fast and lightweight OS threads, based on Nat Tucks's initial GSoC work on green threads and then Stefan Seifert's extension to true parallel OS threads as hybrid threads.

Parrot 6.5.0 News: - Core + Re-add -DMEMORY_DEBUG support to the new GMS GC [GH #1073] + Added 2 new PMC method attributes :manual_wb and :no_wb and worked over all core PMCs for unneeded GC write barriers. Thereby removed the vtable method calling overhead of _orig into a wrapper with the mandatory write barrier. This was the first part of Chirag's GSOC project. [GH #1069] + find_codepoint: Added name aliases for control character names which disappeared with ICU 5.2, and added those names to non-ICU builds also. Improved ICU search for u_charFromName() to check all UCharNameChoices, not only U_EXTENDED_CHAR_NAME. [GH #1075, roast #43] - Build + Fixed wrong ICU header probes on multi-arch systems (debian) [GH #1014] + Fix opengl on bsd which does not have __APPLE__ defined as 0 [GH #1070] + pmc2c was extended to improve write barriers and deal with :manual_wb, :no_wb and RETURN() in VTABLE methods. [GH #1069] - Documentation + Improved the docs for pmc and pmc2c [GH #1069] + Harmonized pmc names for the PMC html index [GH #1079] - Tests + Fix t/op/gc.t for --gc=inf + Fix t/library/pcre.t for --without-pcre or windows - Community + Our GSOC project succeeded in the first deliverable + Non-core dynpmc's with multiple return paths in writer VTABLE methods will need to be changed to use either :manual_wb or RETURN() as in PCCMETHODs, and can now be optimized for unneeded GC write barriers. E.g. nqp 6model got 2-4% faster. nqp should be bumped. Fixes for nqp: * icu detection on multi-arch systems (newer debian), * icu workaround for control char name aliases (see roast #43), * better GC writer barriers (for 6model in nqp branch pmc2c_orig) parrot -O2 is not yet recommended for nqp/rakudo as it produced slower code there.

New parrot feature: reset coros, or not? how to deal with dead coros
Current parrot behaviour for exhausted yields is dying with "Cannot resume dead coroutine." parrot coros are designed after lua, but lua does return nil and as 2nd return value announces also "cannot resume dead coroutine". most lisp's also behave the same way. As third version the parrot book announced coros to be auto-resetting. This makes no sense to me at all, as coros are usually needed to fetch elements from a lazy list, and when the list is exhausted the state should return to the head of the list automatically? lazy cycling a la ? rakudo deals with the dead coroutine exception by looping at the end of all yield states, as far as I understand it. I've implemented now the feature that the coro PMC can be reset. I'd like to propose that not as described in the book, as auto-reset. The default should stay as it is. But as new feature coros can now use the reset method, and maybe add an attribute to use autoreset. I could also return PMCNULL when the coro is dead the first time, and only die every subsequent time. This would make sense to me also. Opinions? The implementations are at the parrot branches rurban/coro-reset-gh564 for the method and rurban/coros-gh564 for autoreset but is not yet mergable. I'll provide a smoke-me/coros-gh564 with my proposal later. -- Reini Urban http://cpanel.net/ http://www.perl-compiler.org/

Parrot 7.0.1 Hotfix released
We detected and fixed two serious and two minor bugs which required a
7.0.1 hotfix release.
- GC regression --optimize caused by PARROT_CANNOT_RETURN_NULL, which
was visible on machines with low memory.
https://github.com/parrot/parrot/issues/1186
This causes segfaults with --optimize, which is the default for nqp
and rakudo, on better (i.e. newer) compilers. The bug was there since
3.6, but turned evil only with 7.0, when packfile got refactored.
- threads deadlock in gc_gms_mark_and_sweep()
https://github.com/parrot/parrot/issues/1187
With cc -O3 the lock code is too far away from the guard, thus causing
our threads example examples/threads/chameneos.pbc to hang, a
regression from 6.11.0
And 2 minor ones for --m=64 or --m=32:
- fix --m=64 with gcc on ppc64 and mips64 #1181,
--m=64 produced wrong ld and linkflags since 6.10, GH #1110
- fix icu probes with --m={32,64} #1182 #1188
We never linked icu again the libs in the configure step, so we failed
to detect wrong architectures, and worse, added wrong arch include and
libpaths to the flags (e.g. amd64 --m=32), causing all sorts of icu
errors, when has_icu=1 but either linking or runtime failed. This
always caused problems.
Parrot 7.0.1 is available on Parrot's FTP site, or by following the
download instructions at http://www.parrot.org/
For those who want to hack on Parrot or languages that run on top of
Parrot, we recommend our organization page on GitHub, or you can go

Parrot 7.0.2 Hotfix released
We detected and fixed two bugs and regressions from 6.10.0 which failed to build parrot on Microsoft Windows with Microsoft Visual Studio C++. - Wrong function ptr cast on win64 https://github.com/parrot/parrot/issues/1190 - Wrong SAL annotations on msvc cl < 16.00 https://github.com/parrot/parrot/issues/1192 Other minor changes in this hotfix: - Optimize away ExtUtils::Command on posix systems. #1177 - Fix cpu config values for gcc_cmpxchg to include atomic/gcc_x86.o on amd64. Harmonized the cpu config keys, no $platform_has_$feature keys anymore, just HAS_$PLATFORM_$feature. #1173 - Improved msvc configuration from a mingw perl. #1191 Parrot is a virtual machine aimed at running all dynamic languages. Parrot 7.0.2 is available on Parrot's FTP site, or by following the download instructions. For those who want to hack on Parrot or languages that run on top of Parrot, we recommend our organization page on GitHub, or you can go directly to the official Parrot Git repo on Github To clone the Parrot Git repo into a directory called 'parrot', use the following: git clone git://github.com/parrot/parrot.git If you want it to be in a directory other than 'parrot', then just give that as a second argument to clone: git clone git://github.com/parrot/parrot.git parrot_foo The SHA256 message digests for the downloadable tarballs are: 1a8e9e203ad8ac92c89422603d1603fa821e957aa3a9ae57420c737d93c55213 parrot-7.0.2.tar.gz 2cc8dc1eada38bb6328bf1f4648bd5e01e000b415f984b7ad6b5b6c123a15ac9 parrot-7.0.2.tar.bz2 Thanks to all our contributors for making this possible, and our sponsors for supporting this project.
