variables as function aliases?
by Martin Baehr 11 Nov '08

11 Nov '08

hi, i am curious about this change: commit 01b70e932612e6f706a2a2092832475083f4e6c4 Author: Martin Stjernholm <mast(a)lysator.liu.se> Date: Tue Nov 4 15:49:22 2008 +0000 Ported fix from 7.4: Don't use variables to create function aliases. (They don't cause garbage in 7.6 and later, but they're still slow and makes the objects unnecessarily large.) what makes variables as function aliases slow? i find it surprising that mixed mywrite(mixed ... args) { return write(@args); } should be faster than mywrite = write; not to forget that in this example i also loose type checking unless i copy the interface exactly. i find the wrapper also less readable (because i have to check that the wrapper is really just an alias and does not change the function greetings, martin.

range operator
by Hedda (Lite ��) ＠ Pike (-) developers forum 10 Nov '08

10 Nov '08

I pretty often want to take a range out of a string that starts at a keyword and ends with another. Typically when reading a config-file or mining data out of an HTML-page. Like this: > "foo bar gazonk"["o".."gaz"]; Result: "oo bar gaz" > "foo bar gazonk"["o".."o"]; Result: "o" > "foo bar gazonk"["gurka".."o"]; Result: "" > "foo bar gazonk"["o".."gurka"]; Result: "oo bar gazonk" > "gazonk foo bar gazonk"["o".."gaz"]; Result: "onk foo bar gaz" (Excuse me if I've missed if this suggestion is already made.)

You might want to try the encoding UTF-EBCDIC, which I believe is something like that. It's new to Pike 7.8 though.

> array v=({1,2,3}); > for (int i=0; i<sizeof(v); i++) v+=({17}); Ok. Why? While > int i; > for (i=0; i<sizeof(v); i++) v+=({17}); doesn't finish (as it shouldn't).

unsigned int optimizations?
by Martin Bähr 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

hi, i just wondered if pike does any optimization on int(0..x) i mean any case where x is below 4294967296 should fit into an unsigned int, so there would be no need to transition to bignum for these. and int(0..255) fits into a byte. does or can pike make use of that? greetings, martin.
