Hi to all,
I am proceeding with my work trying to update acopost codebase.
I now have several commits that I would like to push, but I think we should
agree on some of them before I proceed.
I have completed the work about readline replacement, so now there are just
a few other functions that should be replaced with re-entrant alternatives
(e.g.: strtok, lowercase, tokenizer, ...).
In the meanwhile I started rewriting option handling. I wrote a module that
has been inspired by the glib one for option handling, that improves
readability very much. However this module enforces some common practice
that introduces some incompatibilities (in particular it forces options to
appear before file names) and I introduced some others in order to make the
command lines interfaces more uniform: all commands should respect -h
(help) and -v (verbosity level), when dictionary is needed -d should be
used, -o is used for operation mode, accepting integers or names, always
with the same meaning across binaries.
I think the benefits of a common interface are better then perfect backward
compatibility. However, before pushing it and before completing my job (met
is still not updated, documentation is not updated as well), I would like
to know if you think this work is useful or if you consider this change too
intrusive.
I modified met so that now it uses malloced arrays (and do not crash
anymore with my PC). Unfortunately it is very slow. I do not know if this
was expected or if it is due to my changes.
I have made so many changes that I likely introduced several bugs.
I also tried to compile a list of my desiderata in a TODO file. I guess we
could also add other items to that list (e.g.: make the tagger more
generic).
What do you think about it? May I proceed?
Bests,
Giulio.
