Parrot Design Documents (PDD)
docs/pdds/pdd00_pdd.pod
This document defines the standard format for the Parrot Design Documents (PDDs) - the basic descriptions/plans for the design of Parrot.
docs/pdds/pdd01_overview.pod
This PDD provides a high-level overview of the Parrot system.
docs/pdds/pdd02_vtables.pod
This PDD presents the vtable entries, and their order, that all variables MUST provide.
docs/pdds/pdd03_calling_conventions.pod
This PDD describes Parrot's inter-routine calling conventions.
docs/pdds/pdd04_datatypes.pod
This PDD describes Parrot's internal data types.
docs/pdds/pdd05_opfunc.pod
This PDD specifies how the opcode functions should behave and how they are called by the Parrot interpreter.
docs/pdds/pdd06_pasm.pod
This PDD describes the format of Parrot's bytecode assembly language.
docs/pdds/pdd07_codingstd.pod
This document describes the various rules, guidelines and advice for those wishing to contribute to the source code of Parrot, in such areas as code structure, naming conventions, comments etc.
docs/pdds/pdd08_keys.pod
This PDD aims to clear up the confusion regarding the implementation of keyed access to PMCs in Parrot.
docs/pdds/pdd09_gc.pod
This PDD describes how DOD/GC systems work, and what's required of PMC classes.
docs/pdds/pdd11_extending.pod
The extension API for Parrot is a simple, somewhat abstract, interface to Parrot for code written in C or other compiled languages. It provides about the same level of access to Parrot that bytecode programs have.
docs/pdds/pdd13_bytecode.pod
docs/pdds/pdd14_bignum.pod
This document describes the big number library, the functionality it provides and some internal details of interest to people making use of the library. Some of the areas in which the big number library meet with the rest of Parrot are also discussed.
docs/pdds/pdd15_objects.pod
This PDD describes the semantics of Parrot's object and class systems. The PDD is divided into two parts, the semantics expressed to user programs through PMCs, and the default back-end class scheme.
docs/pdds/pdd16_native_call.pod
This PDD describes the native call interface, and the function signatures used to describe those functions.
docs/pdds/pdd17_basic_types.pod
This PDD documents the base Parrot PMC types and their behaviours.
docs/pdds/pdd18_security.pod
This PDD describes the safety, security, and quota infrastructure of Parrot.
docs/pdds/pdd_template.pod
Summary of the contents of the PDD.
