From daniel at coder.com Tue Nov 13 08:25:49 2007 From: daniel at coder.com (Daniel R. Allen) Date: Tue, 13 Nov 2007 11:25:49 -0500 (EST) Subject: [kw-pm] November kw.pm Meeting: Opcodes Illustrated Message-ID: Just a quick reminder that the November meeting is this Thursday. Thursday, November 15, 2007, 7pm Opcodes Illustrated fishbot has been playing around feeding opcode trees into GraphViz to reveal how various language constructs get compiled to bytecode. Compiled Perl turns out to be pretty interesting, once you can see it in living colour. Possibly talk will go as far of as the peephole optimizer, but at the very least, will demonstrate the bytecode behind key language features. Meeting is in BMH 1035 at the University of Waterloo, directions are here: http://kw.pm.org/wiki/index.cgi?FAQ Also as usual, our pizza is sponsored by $anonymous++. Please RSVP here by 5pm on Thursday: http://kw.pm.org/wiki/index.cgi?PizzaList As always, meeting is open to all interested. As always, we will retire for beer and conversation at a local establishment afterwards. From daniel at coder.com Thu Nov 15 07:48:07 2007 From: daniel at coder.com (Daniel R.

This month, we have free CF bulbs, courtesy www.porchlight.ca, who has a grant to give one CF bulb to every single Canadian household. So come for the talk, stay for the pizza and lightbulb. Or, the other way around if you prefer. -Daniel On Tue, 13 Nov 2007, Daniel R.

Despite the words opcode, bytecode, optimizer, and feeding, this talk: * assumes no knowledge of Perl internals * assumes no C knowledge, and in fact involves no C * requires no particular Perl knowledge, though you should understand basic concepts like conditionals, loops, assignment and so on (in general terms) Eric ---- original message : 2007-11-15 10:48am : Daniel R.
