I have been looking at different ways to detect the end of a string. For some reason, I don't understand why, the 'ResizableStringArray' below terminates prematurely. That is, the below does not work:

function main[main] ()
{
    string regexp = "";
    string text   = "Thisisastring.";

    var regex     = split('', regexp);

Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) 32bit:

When I try to build a new clone of Rosella, the build blows with,

My apologies for my failure to include enough code to allow you to reproduce the error in the earlier gist.  The below "should" reproduce the error for you.  Please note, the "error" has mysteriously moved to the 'append()' function, and the only thing I changed was to chop out some already commented code.

Again, thank you for your help.

P.S.  The below code dies with the following error: 'lisp.i:142: Not a left-side expression near ('

I want to, tentatively,[1] retract my suggestion of using a proxy repo in
favor of what, I think, is a more robust approach, that is, moritz'.[2]

Here, in-the-main, is moritz' idea:

    1. Create a bug@parrot.org email address, if there isn't one already;
    2. Have a cron job fetch any new emails delivered to this address; and
    3. If it looks like a bug report, the cron job launches a script to open

(1) parrotbug, via Net::GitHub or Pithub, uses the github API to open an issue on the new parrotbug proxy repo;

(2) the parrotbug proxy repo throws an open issue event (it's a hook api);

(3) the parrot repo "catches" -- i'm not exactly certain how this happens yet, but the docs say it can -- this event;

(4) Here I'm uncertain.  That is, i'm not sure what we actually *do* to open the issue on the parrot repo. That is, I'm not sure what the thrown event can kick off on the parrot repo to open an issue, but I'll dig around today and fill in this gap.

not_gerd: I reinstalled cygwin this weekend and installed *only* the mingw64_-x86_64-* toolchain.  This allowed gerdr/cygcross64 to 'make.'  'make test' stalled out, however, on 't/src/extend_vtable.t ..... 101/137'.

Btw, the problem earlier was, I think, everything defaulted to gcc 4.*, and not gcc 3.4.4 bundled with mingw.

I did *try* to use the -mno-cygwin switch, but, evidently, it's been dropped from gcc 4.*, so ....

Hope this helps.
