Agenda for 20 January

[Jim Dehnert]

Following is an updated agenda.  The status pages are updated and on
the web at:

The contact info page is now also there, in password-protected PDF only
for privacy.  The password is "not an orc".

The agenda is based on these priorities:

  A) Exception handling.

  B) Data layout.

  C) Mangling.

So, take a look at the material associated with these issues:

  1) D-10:  Exceptions.  The primary changes in my writeup are in
     color, and we'll go over them, primarily reason codes and the
     _Unwind_ForcedUnwind definition.  Answer the "Outstanding
     Questions" at the beginning of the document.

  2) D-11:  Reminder to Christophe to provide a list of pthreads
     functions required and their interfaces (e.g. man pages).

  3) D-12:  Unwind table location.  (I have called Cary but not
     heard from him.)

  4) D-13:  This should be closed along with D-10.  But promised a
     description of thread cancellation a while back, and Christophe
     promised a writeup as another example for _Unwind_ForcedUnwind.

  5) D-14:  I think I should have closed this.

  6) A-19:  Primary virtual base classes.  Does the writeup in the
     layout document look OK?  Note the email from Coleen and Jason.

  7) A-20:  Operator new array cookies.  Does the proposed resolution
     look OK?

  8) A-*:  Go over the colored items in the layout document for
     validation.  I've switched terminology to super-polymorphic -- any
     better ideas?  Cary suggests simple vs. complex classes, which
     would also be OK.

  9) A-*:  Nathan raised several questions about RTTI.  Let's go
     through them and either answer them or identify issues.

 10) F-*:  Mangling.  We have a proposal from Daveed.  Let's start
     the discussion.

 11) A-21:  Placement new array cookies.  Read Matt's description.
     Can we decide what to do?  What we need to decide?

Issues that are active and awaiting proposals:

  a) C-4:  Daveed will write up construction vtables so we can
     verify.  Wait.
