Repo?

I've had a number of people ask me about where exactly to find the code so far.

As of this morning some time, I migrated my code from cr.opensolaris.org over to the Project Emancipation Mercurial repo.

You can create a local clone with Mercurial. If you haven't ever done this before, do this:

$ hg clone ssh://anon@opensolaris.org/hg/emancipation/libc_i18n

and you'll have a local copy of the code

End of GSoC, but not of emancipation

Well, so it's the 20th. Which means, as of noon today, PST none of the work I'm doing counts towards the Summer of Code.

I've got my code building, although it still won't link completely with libc. The linker doesn't see fit to recognize that I do, in fact, have getwc() and friends in an object file.

Regardless, I'm not going to be satisfied until this code integrates with OpenSolaris, so the end of Summer of Code really doesn't mean that much.

new Toys & Progress

I got this machine on account of I need to break libc in fabulous ways & I need to make sure that it works on both Solaris platforms.

Tons of thanks to everyone that helped me find some SPARC kit to break!

As for progress, I tried to build my code in to O/N last night & it failed on symbol duplication errors, which is about the best error I could've gotten from the build.

I'm going to resolve that & see if I can't get a build of O/N that at least compiles with my code in it by Monday, and move on to testing from there.

Almost...

I spent the last week visiting family in Vancouver, so I didn't do anything last week.

Regardless, with the exception of some private functions that I don't see in use anywhere, I think I'm pretty much done the initial coding.

Now I just need to force it in to libc and put together a workstation to break for testing.
