Request co-maint from the current maintainer (which seems to be Artur Bergman) If the current maintainer isn't contactable, there's a documented and working procedure to deal with that. It's neither rocket science, nor the remit of this mailing list. > I can see how he'd feel somewhat balkanized by the recent > retraction of interfaces that B-Gen and optimizer need. The case of fold_constants is "need"? B::Generate's calls (directly or indirectly) to fold_constants will hit an assertion failure. If that assertion is hacked out (or disabled) then it will SEGV. That code could never have worked. "need"ing something to allow non-working code to not work is a definition of need. It would be useful to know which parts of B::Generate actually work, (and are tested) and then remove all the dead code. Nicholas ClarkThread Previous | Thread Next
