[perl #31146] [TODO] Stability - purify, valgrind, etc.

> [coke - Sun Aug 15 13:26:21 2004]: > > Purify, Valgrind, and other memory badness detectors It's still very much welcome to run the whole test suite through valgrind (or similar tools). Steps towards this are (afaik): - %ENV{TEST_PROG} = 'perl vg_tester.pl' - err recreate this env var - s

[perl #40379] [TODO] investigate use of tools/dev/as2c.pl

The plan behind of as2c.pl is and was to create compiler independant machine code for an architecture. masm, gas, nasm, whatever syntax doesn't fit all compilers. Therefore as2c.pl translates gas syntax to a bytestring, which is then used as the asm code. as2c's usage is indeed scarce: when the cod
