beach: switching second climacs to eclector will probably take more work still. stress-testing has revealed a (hopefully minor) bug in the original second climacs code. i'm also pretty sure that the current cache invalidation is not sufficient if error recovery is in play

So, what would happen after register allocation as part of MIR-to-LIR? From memory, lexical locations were replaced with register locations, and we would find the registers to use from the arrangements produced by register allocation.

I wrote up the arrangement adaptation algorithm for LIR in about an hour, and it is about half the length of the MIR + arrangement-generating code I wrote over a few days, which still only handles stashing lexical locations and not reloading them.

So, are you saying that first introducing registers and then doing the adaptation is better?

According to my log, I wrote "Yes, I believe so" eight minutes before you asked "Are you still here?"

Yes, and there are also more ways to "go wrong" when a message is propagated between multiple IRC servers. But there is a discrepancy of ten minutes between when the Tymoon log recorded my message, and when my client recorded the message.

Still, such a discrepancy would be on the order of seconds at worst. I need to make a poster that says "When in doubt, blame the Matrix-IRC bridge".

Don't complain. So far the record for snail mail delivery time is over 220 years. Here's a case of 138 years: https://www.lefigaro.fr/actualite-france/2015/06/12/01016-20150612ARTFIG00165-une-femme-recoit-un-courrier-poste-il-y-a-138-ans.php
