foreach(x, y) vs foreach(x; y; z)
by Martin Bähr 27 Sep '04

27 Sep '04

hi, what was the reason for foreach(x; y; z)? why is it not possible to have the parser distinguish foreach(x, y) from foreach(x, y, z)? i remember reading that there is a backwards compatibility problem, but i don't see where this would be. greetings, martin.

duplicates in a|b
by Martin Bähr 25 Sep '04

25 Sep '04

hi, when doing a union (|) on arrays it appears as if the first array remains as is, and then any missing values from the second array are appended, with duplicates in the first array remaining. a = ({ 1, 7, 2, 5, 4 }); b = ({ 2, 1, 3, 5, 5 }); a|b is ({ 1, 7, 2, 5, 4, 3, 5 }) b|a is ({ 2, 1, 3, 5, 5, 7, 4 }) the reason for these questions is that the tutorial claims: the elements in the result can come in any order and duplicates may or may not be removed. should pike be (and remain) that unpredictable? greetings, martin.

7.6.20
by Martin Nilsson (DivX Networks) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 21 Sep '04

21 Sep '04

Ok, I have a fairly good source dist at http://pike.ida.liu.se/pub/pike/beta/7.6.20/Pike-v7.6.20.tar.gz but it looks to me as if pike bundles are broken, at least when using --site-prefixes. Can someone without gmp or nettle see if it works?

Reminder: Pike Camp and Conference October 13-19
by Bill Welliver 21 Sep '04

21 Sep '04

Just a reminder that there are just 3 weeks to go before this year's Pike Camp and Conference. This year's event will be held from October 13 through 19 in Essen, Germany. You can register online now at the camp website: http://camp.gotpike.org Some important points about the event: No cost dormitory style housing is available for the duration of the camp and conference, and we'll have a quiet work room available for anyone who needs to spend time away from the conference doing work. For those living in Europe, Ryanair has some extremely good airfares to the Niederrhein D|sseldorf airport near Essen. Conference sessions will be held in English. All levels of pike experience are welcome, from core developers to those with only minimal end user experience with Pike (or Caudium, Roxen, sTeam, or psyc|muve). There will be beginner's tutorials as well as more advanced workshops. If you have a burning pike question or problem, here's your chance to have it answered by experts. If you can't make it for all of the conference, please do join us for the time you are available. We'd much rather have you join us for part of the event rather than not at all. http://camp.gotpike.org http://conference.gotpike.org Additionally, we still have slots available for talks, presentations or workshops for anyone interested in presenting a topic of interest. Please feel free to contact us for more information. Best regards, Bill Welliver Conference Co-Chair conference(a)gotpike.org

I only did that after having pointed to the wrong dist dir once.

order of elements after: a^b
by Martin Bähr 21 Sep '04

21 Sep '04

hi, when i combine two arrays using exclusive or (^) the order of the resulting elements appears to be like (a+b)-(elements from both): a = ({ 1, 7, 2, 8, 4 }); b = ({ 2, 1, 3, 0, 5 }); a^b is ({ 7, 8, 4, 3, 0, 5 }) however if there are doubles a = ({ 1, 7, 2, 5, 4 }); b = ({ 2, 1, 3, 5, 5 }); a^b is ({ 7, 4, 3, 5 }) b^a is ({ 3, 5, 7, 4 }) one of them remains. what's the strategy here? it looks like from both arrays it removes always the same number of elements. greetings, martin.

nettle in 7.6 source distribution
by Martin Bähr 20 Sep '04

20 Sep '04

hi, it appears that the official 7.6.6 source distribution does not really contain nettle. wouldn't it be time for a new release with this stuff fixed, would be nice together with the upcoming windows binaries. greetings, martin.

That looks like dists and smells like dists, but it sure ain't dists.
