C++ patches

C++ patches

[Simon Marchi]

Hi Pedro,

You mentionned earlier (and on the cxx-conversion wiki page) that
you'd like people to pick up patches from your C++ branch and
format/add changelog/post them. I would like to do that, in order to
make the C++ transition progress. I would naturally start with the
ptrace refactor patches at the base. However, it seems like that was
done recently. I want to make sure I don't pull the carpet from
beneath your feet by posting them. Is it a good time to start doing
that ?

That'd be fantastic!

Yeah, I fixed some enum hacks (wrote the "safe enum flags"
patch at the top of the branch) and cleaned up a few other patches,
but the ptrace ones were the only ones that I finished completely
enough to post.

Absolutely.

IIRC, the only one that I wanted to revisit was the
"VEC don't write 0 to pointer" one -- I don't recall why I needed
that in the first place.
