Re: [Pnet-developers] [Bug #2806] CSCC virtual memory exhausted

[James Michael DuPont]

Rhys, 
Things dont have to be done immediatly. I have commited to do it. Put
my name against it, and if anyone needs it before I complete, then just
point them to me. 

Responsability and commitment are more than a short term thinking. All
I want to do here is get the processes sorted out, to get the
communication doing. 

For the line number bug, my goal for pnet is to hack some evaluator on
the gcc asts to determine the places where the AST nodes are created
and where the line numbers and other attributes are assigned. Then
based on the assignments that are applied I can determine if the Line
number has been set within a fixed number of steps away from the
creation of the object.

For the error messages, I intend on creating a stackdump for the
compiler that will show you current AST, the function call stack and
related information.

The error messages can be made more itelligeent by interpreting this
information. Based on the conditionals we can also docuement each throw
call and put them into a large database. Each throw under each
condition will get a state number. Each state can then be xrefed
against the test cases that throw them. The documentation of the
compiler that explains that error. 

It should be possible to suggest solutions to common problems, and I
think that we should be able to create an option that will export all
this information into a rdf/xml file format that allows for the
creation of a huge repository of compiler errors and solutions. That
can be used by a DotGNU.RDF agent that handles to compliation to make
the compiler easier to use.

The whole point here rhys is that things dont have to be just done in
one way. There are many ways to solve a problem.
