Since we're at the start of the 5.37 development cycle and hopefully all of the remaining "little edits" that didn't get into 5.36 are done, I'm going to do this this week. I have a number of new things I want to introduce into the peephole optimiser in the coming weeks, so now's probably the best time to make a start on it. If anyone does have any outstanding changes to basically any of the code in op.c, please shout ASAP so we can find a way to not cause too much merge conflict. -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leonerd@leonerd.org.uk | https://metacpan.org/author/PEVANS http://www.leonerd.org.uk/ | https://www.tindie.com/stores/leonerd/Thread Previous | Thread Next
