Ironruby core - Apr 2008 - SVN r93 is up

We now pass 1541/2468 specs (62%).

A bunch of String specs were re-enabled since we no longer crash when parsing
them. Work is still ongoing to start running the trunk rubinius specs, but we
need some more features in the libs first (the rubinius spec rewrite uses some
standard libraries that we don''t fully support yet).

ENV is now partially implemented - you can evaluate environment variables
correctly now.

A bunch of regex functionality (still using .NET regex) is enabled - =~,
sub,gsub etc. are now implemented in this release.

There was a split in the way the DLR is organized. Microsoft.Scripting.Core.dll
is the DLR, and Microsoft.Scripting.dll are where libraries like the Math
libraries for the DLR will live from now on.

Thanks,
-John

With a new version out, I thought I''d try again to see how far I could
get gems setup.rb to run ...

1) missing method Regex.quote
        - see implementation in attached patch

2) Exception thrown in ModuleOps.Evaluate - "We need ScriptCode.Run to be
public"
        - uncommented the excluded code and made ScriptCode.Run public

3) Time.to_i not implemented
        - applied Eric Nicholson''s patch

4) Time.gmt_offset not implemented
        - see implementation in attached patch (includes Eric''s patch)

5) MutableString.intern not implemented
        - aliased MutableString.to_sym to intern

6) Exception thrown stating that ">= 0" is an illformed requirement
        - case statement failed because Regex.=== wasn''t implemented,
see implementation in attached patch

7) The regular expression still doesn''t match due to a regular
expression substitution problem
        - the following simple example illustrates the problem (it should match
but doesn''t):

x = /a/
regex = /#{x}/
puts regex  =~ ''a''

Cheers, Wayne.

Attached is a fix to my hastily implemented Regexp.quote method
( I returned a string rather than a MutableString)

It now passes the tests in Specs\core\regexp\quote_spec.rb

Cheers, Wayne.

Cool. Thanks!

FYI I''m working on doing an integration of Peter Bacon
Darwin''s awesome port of JOni (called IrOni(!)) into our regex code, so
I''m filling out the implementation of Regexp now.

Thanks,
