Hi,
We've been learning and playing around with Chapel the last
month and have come up with a long list of questions and
comments (and some bugs that we'll post to chapel-bugs). It
might be best to split them into several different e-mails
so it wouldn't be overwhelming, and we'll submit them over
the next few days.
About the language and spec:
1. Is it possible to have the select statement warn or raise
an error if all the members of an enum aren't handled?
2. Why does the select .. otherwise case only allow a single
statement? (We've had to use an if..then chain a few times
because of this.)
3. Can you access the size of a tuple with a query? Something
like
proc p(pt : ?ndim * int) {
writeln("dimensionality of point is ", ndim);
}
doesn't compile with the message "syntax error: near '*'".
4. Does a domain slice form a subdomain? It's not clear in the
spec.
5. Are constants in a class only accessible from an instance
(which the spec seems to say is the case)? We were looking
for something like a static class member in Java, but there
was an instance available in the code at that point to get
the constant values.
Thanks in advance!
Greg K.
