Hi Francisco, In answer to your first question, I was following the precedent set by Python in what seemed useful. It does seem a little repetitive, so maybe we'll hold off on curDir until others request it.
In answer to your second question, you are definitely welcome to help implement! Anyone interested is going to want to check out the file CONTRIBUTING.md for some things to do to get started, and places to look for more information. Details-wise, most of them will be independent of each other, although there are definitely those that will interact. I was going to be the main implementer, so we should check to make sure we aren't implementing the same function. The basic plan was to follow the same implementation pattern as https://github.com/chapel-lang/chapel/pull/192, and https://github.com/chapel-lang/chapel/pull/185 (although those function names have been altered by https://github.com/chapel-lang/chapel/pull/229, which should be taken into account), adjusting as the need arose. I've got a patch out for mkdir() right now, with the intention of adding octal (so it's nicer to deal with) and then continuing on to probably either exists() or chmod(). Is there one of the others that strikes your fancy? Thanks for the feedback, Lydia On 09/05/2014 02:38 PM, Francisco Souza wrote: > Seems nice! Just wondering why curDir exists.
