Infinity status

I’m winding down for a month away from Infinity. The current status is that the language and note format changes for 0.0.2 are all done. You can get them with:

git clone https://github.com/gbenson/i8c.git

There’s also the beginnings of an Emacs major mode for i8 in there too. My glibc tree now has notes for td_ta_thr_iter as well as td_ta_map_lwp2thr. That’s two of the three hard ones done. Get them with:

git clone https://github.com/gbenson/glibc.git -b infinity2

FWIW td_thr_get_info is just legwork and td_thr_tls_get_addr is just a wrapper for td_thr_tlsbase; td_thr_tlsbase is the other hard note.

All notes have testcases with 100% bytecode coverage. I may add a flag for I8X to make not having 100% coverage a failure, and make glibc use it so nobody can commit notes with untested code.

The total note size so far is 720 bytes so I may still manage to get all five libpthread notes implemented in less than 1k:
