Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Updated PGE: msg#00014

lang.perl.perl6.compiler

Subject: Updated PGE

I've just checked in (r12442) a large set of updates to PGE; these
updates are in response to recent changes in S05, as well as to allow PGE
to take advantage of recently-added Parrot features (e.g. named
argument passing).

As part of the update I also patched any language and/or other
components (e.g., TGE, Punie, TCL, Pheme, etc.) that use PGE so
that they'll be more consistent with PGE's new calling interfaces.
Hopefully I got it right -- basically, if a test passed in r12441,
it should still be passing in r12442.

Here are the major changes in PGE from an interface perspective
(internally there have been a lot of improvements as well):

* The "PGE::Rule" class is now "PGE::Regex".

* The "PGE::P6Rule" and "PGE::P5Regexp" compilers have been renamed
to "PGE::P6Regex" and "PGE::P5Regex".

* The "rulec.pir" compiler and the "library/PGE/P6Grammar.pir" file
are now gone -- use the new-and-improved "pgc.pir" compiler instead.

* More tests and subsystem tests have been added to t/compilers/pge/ .

* The PGE::Glob compiler front-end to the regex system has been
redesigned.

* PGE's code generation can now generate more efficient PIR output
(although there's still a lot of room for optimization).

* There is preliminary (untested) support for adverbs, including
S05's ":ratchet" adverb. Support for "rule" and "token" statements
will soon be added to pgc.

* More comments have been added to source files -- still not enough
to be reasonable, but that will be corrected soon.


Patches and tests welcomed.
