DAVEM TPF Grant#2 May 2016 report
Message ID:

I spent last month mainly getting Scope::Upper working on 5.24.0.
It broke heavily after the context stack reworking that came with 5.23.8,
due to its heavy reliance on the internal details of perl's context stack
and scope exit behaviours.

I don't intend in general spending so much time again on fixing up such
CPAN modules; it's just that once I had started, I wanted to see it
through to completion.

SUMMARY:
      1:10 [perl #127834] @INC issues
     60:51 [perl #127875] Blead breaks Scope::Upper
      6:19 [perl #127915] $=x~0 segfaults Perl 5.24.0-RC1-2-gde1d2c7
      0:33 [perl #128225] substitution within (?{}) causes segmentation fault
      0:53 disallow 'require ::foo'
      2:30 fix build warnings and smoke failures
      0:30 fixup CPAN distributions affected by context changes (Coro)
     10:38 process p5p mailbox
    ------
     83:24 TOTAL (HH::MM)

As of 2016/05/31: since the beginning of the grant:

 137.3 weeks
1920.5 total hours
  14.0 average hours per week

There are 80 hours left on the grant.
