          This thread was previously completely summarized in July.
          
          In <rt://perl/39750>, Jarkko Hietaniemi posted about a core dump.  Will
          Coleda replied that this is how the test should behave, and wondered
          if the test should be skipped or the opcode removed.  Chip Salzenberg
          wrote a haiku about the test, and Jarkko poetically requested that the
          test harness be informed about Parrot's tendency to obey suicide requests.

        summary: |-
          This thread was previously completely summarized in July.
          
          Steven Pritchard reported that he had been working on building Fedora
          Extras packages for Parrot and Pugs and had a few issues on x86\_64.
          Joshua Hoblitt asked if perhaps this was x86\_64 with multilib support,
          as the current build system does not support multilib builds.
          
          Attached to the same thread was ticket <rt://perl/39860> where
          Joshua Hoblitt requested that Configure.pl should accept `--libdir`.
          Later he attached a patch.

        summary: |-
          This thread was previously completely summarized in July.
          
          In ticket <rt://perl/39856>, chromatic requested that Parrot be able
          to produce a single PBC file from a command like `parrot -o all_files.pbc
          file1.pir file2.pir ...`.  Joshua Hoblitt thought it would be a good
          idea to define how symbol conflicts should be handled.  Leopold
          Toetsch believed that `pbc_merge` can handle this, but Allison Randall
          explained that it doesn't quite address the request.  Chip Salzenberg
          felt that was a bug, although Allison preferred to call it a feature.
          Jerry Gay clarified how it worked by citing documentation and including
          tests.

        summary: |-
          This thread was previously completely summarized in July.  
          
          chromatic created ticket <rt://perl/39986> to report that there is
          no default PackFile for the situation where he has created a new
          interpreter with `Parrot_new()` and wants to compile and run code
          through `Parrot_compile_string()` without having to read and load
          bytecode from disk.
          
          It was reported that this was fixed in r13613, but chromatic had
          further questions.  There was further discussion between chromatic,
          Leopold Toetsch and Chip Salzenberg.  Chip requested some cleaning
          on namespace pollution, and Andy Lester replied that it is on his
          list.

          Leopold Toetsch presented an analysis of the the inferior runloops problem -
          embedding foreign language runloops in the parrot runtime. The problems
          encompass continuation support and garbage collection amongst other things.
          
          Bob Rogers replied proposing that foreign data be explicitly tracked. Leo
          mentioned that this has been previously discussed and dismissed.

        summary: |-
          This thread was previously completely summarized in July.  
          
          Will Coleda included some code which was not working in Tcl.  He
          thought the error originated in the Parrot code base, and asked some
          questions.  Bob Rogers had difficulty replicating the problem; chromatic
          suggested using a newer Test::Harness because prove is not included
          in the older version.  Leopold Toetsch felt this was
          in conflict with the Parrot README prerequisites list.
          
          Will said that the problem was fixed in r13696.  He also reported
          that Tcl's test suite is being converted from using Perl to being
          self-hosting in Tcl.  Bob reported some additional problems in
          r13715.  Will noted that Tcl was undergoing a lot of changes this
          week.  There was some further discussion with Matt Diephouse on
          the Tcl changes.

        summary: |-
          Allison Randal modified the PDD21.  The change was to make
          namespace opcodes accept arrays to enable multidimensional namespaces, 
          and to remove redundant globals and get/set methods.  Matt Diephouse
          asked how the removal of get/set methods would affect namespaces with 
          a sigil or other unusual name.  Allison replied that the methods
          were part of the untyped interface; the typed interface uses 
          `find_namespace` and `add_namespace`.

          Vishal Soni wanted to know the best location to store a shared library
          for the byte code generator.  chromatic thought it belonged in either
          `blib/lib` or `runtime/parrot/dynext` and wasn't sure which should be
          used in this case.

          additions to 'parrot' breaking code.  Pheme was an example of a language
          that would have problems with the situation Martin described.

          There were many questions and answers provided by both parties, and some C
          coding style issues were also raised. Due to the highly technical nature of
          this thread, we will not cover it at length.

          and DynLexPad don't work well together.  He wondered how to make

          In ticket <rt://perl/40178>, Chip Salzenberg passed a death
          sentence on the None class.  Leopold Toetsch reported that he was
          working on removing it from the public interface of Hash.
          
          Leopold also noted that `$S0 = hsh['no_such_key']` used to return
          an empty STRING* but will now return a NULL STRING*.  Patrick
          R. Michaud noted that this would break many things in PGE and provided
          some examples.   Chip had some suggestions on how to reduce the
          pain.  Jerry Gay also had some advice.  Later, Patrick reported that
          there were only five things that would break with the change.

          chromatic linked to a
          [blog post](http://tirania.org/blog/archive/2006/Aug-17.html) by one of the
          [Mono](http://www.mono-project.com/) developers, which discussed Ahead-Of-Time
          Compilation, to speed up startup times, asking what Parrot could take from
          this.
          
          Leopold Toetsch replied that Parrot already supports the basic features needed
          for this, but that are not currently being tested or used, and would probably
          need to be updated.

          the problem is not linked to JIT, but happens because two threads
          change the same global.

          Agent Zhang reported that S05 makes use of syntax that isn't found in 
          other synopses.  The question was whether the syntax was legacy.
          Larry Wall agreed that it was a leftover, and said he would fix
          it.

          Yuval Kogman asked why the naming convention for the core Perl 6 library
          disallows underscores. Many people contributed their own opinion, especially
          their negative one on the naming of the `.valid` (value id) method. Larry later
          clarified his opinion on underscores, and what constitutes as "core".

        summary: |-
          Agent Zhang sent a patch to S06 and S03 with typo corrections but
          had two lingering issues: S06 is overly repetitive in explaining the
          differences between 'inner' and 'of' return values, and 'unpacking
          tree node parameters' needs clarification.   In addition, S06 referred
          to both 'is assoc('chain')' and 'is assoc('chaining')', which were
          normalized to 'chain'.
          
          Daniel Hulme had some patches to the patch; Trey Harris took responsibility
          for the confusion.  There was a discussion on 'pointy subs/blocks'
          which was resolved with a reference to Audrey Tang's commit r10478.

        subject: Type annotation on expressions
        summary: |-
          Yuval Kogman asked for a syntax to provide type annotations to expressions, not
          just containers, in order to disambiguate MMD, and to provide type inference
          hints. Daniel Hulme asked if this is any different than coercion, and Luke
          Palmer debated the necessity of such a construct.

        subject: naming of the Str type
        summary: |-
          Darren Duncan wrote because he felt that the name of the Str data
          type is ambiguous given the traditional use of the word 'string'.
          Later he updated his musings to accept that Str is a good enough
          name for the data type.  David Green felt Darren's reasons made
          sense, but he did not object to Str.

        summary: |-
          Following a #perl6 discussion on character strings, Darren Duncan 
          proposed the addition of an immutable and portable arbitrary length
          Blob type.  Yuval Kogman asked about str (now called 'buf').  Buf
          is a mutable type.

          Mark J. Reed wanted to know where he could find a pod2html converter
          that understands the Perl 6 POD.  Agent Zhang replied that pod2html
          can handle the synopses, except for the '=encoding' directive.
          Thom Boyer suggested looking at the 
          [online HTML version of the specifications](http://dev.perl.org/perl6/doc/synopsis.html)
          but noted that S29 is not included except by reference to the
          SVN repository.

          is implicitly using NEXT, and the block exiting blocks run in reverse
          order.  This led to further discussion also involving Luke Palmer and
          Jonathan Scott Duff.

        summary: |-
          Mark Reed quoted a section of S03 and asked if Order::Increase should
          numerify to +1 and Order::Decrease to -1.  Mark A. Biggar explained
          that `$a cmp $b` can be seen as a sequence `($a, $b)`--if the sequence
          is increasing, `$a cmp $b` returns Order::Increase or -1.
          
          David Green pondered the question.  Larry Wall noted that `cmp`
          does not mean `eq`.  He also expressed his feeling that 'but True'
          and 'but False' are workarounds, and not many core interfaces
          will use solutions involving 'but'.

          Joshua Hoblitt asked how the `#if 0` C preprocessor idiom could be converted to
          Perl. He asked if there was going to be a better approach than using POD hacks.
          Some of the suggested approaches were to use multi-line block comments, constant
          folded if statements, and quote operations with balanced, arbitrary delimiters.

          Amir E. Aharoni wanted to know what the current state of the wiki
          plan is.  He was primarily interested in the content, rather than
          the implementation.  Conrad Schneiker replied that he felt a
          wiki should be installed on feather soon, to serve the need for
          documentation, and from there it would be possible to port the
          wiki to Perl 6.
