Subject: A big hole where the evaluator used to be...
Date: Thu, 03 Dec 2009 19:08:05 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87hbs7q3je.fsf@ossau.uklinux.net> (raw)
Exciting times! Much kudos to Andy, who has just merged a big and
interesting change, the effect of which is essentially to stop using the
old C-coded evaluator.
(Actually it's not quite true that there's only a hole left. We still
need a basic C evaluator for bootstrapping, but it's much smaller and
simpler than what was there before.)
FWIW, building and make check all look good to me. There are some
noticeable benchmark changes - some slower and some faster - which I'll
look more into.
Regards,
Neil
