  • Get qemu-io compiling

Wed Jul 17

  • Track down bug in CPC that caused compilation to fail
  • Get qemu-img compiling and start testing where it fails
  • Discussion about whether to pursue converting the block to synchronous/asynchronous statically annotated functions, rather than "dynamic" ones
