Re: Tutorial Question: catch blocks

2008-03-27 Thread Will Coleda
I know KJS already answered this, but I wanted to try to clarify a bit, and focus just on exception handling in PIR. Basically, each opcode can throw an exception. If that happens, control will unwind until it finds something willing to catch it: .sub 'eek' $I0 = 1 $I0 /= 0 say $I0 .end Th

[perl #51756] [BUG]: config/auto/crypto.pm causes build failure on Darwin

Problems with auto::crypto have not reoccurred on Darwin. They have occurred on Cygwin, but that's better handled in a different ticket. So I'm resolving this one.

[perl #52130] [BUG] postconfigure tests hanging on feather.

Added dependency on 52154 because when that is resolved the problem on feather will clear up. It already has cleared up if you checkout the 'norevision' branch and configure it.

There have been no complaints about the t/codingstd/pdd_format.t file -- perhaps because no one has used it ;-) I've opened RT 52054 to do the actual work of making PDD files conform to the standard. When we achieve a high degree of conformance, we'll add pdd_format.t to the list of tests run dur

Portable OpenGL via Parrot

2008-03-27 Thread Bob Free
As far as I understand OpenGL, it's got one current context per thread, and libGL does all sorts of evil things with threads and thread-local storage to make it all work transparently. An object-oriented OpenGL interface seems like the right way to go, though, for all sorts of other reasons. Tha
