No. Didn't work that way, IIRC

Yes. Pass NULL for the library PMC:

Think about tied values. When does STORE get called, precisely, on a
tied target of s///? It's good to be explicit about this, down at the
C API level, just so we know what to optimize for. The final answer

These are *real* constant constants -- things that are constant at
compile time. The source has a bunch of them scattered around. Leo
put in the initial support for these things, and I've added them to
some more files.
To declare a compile-time STRING constant, use the CONST_STRING
macro. Take

Let's asume for a moment that it's easy to build a miniparrot for

The first phase would run on the host and prepare the tests and a
miniparrot for the target, but not run them.
