Hi all, After my experience with having to fix a rather large ADM file dump from a query to make it load back into the system I was compelled to try my hand at making that not happen again. The first thing I tried my hand at was basically what I did to make the file loadable but inside the type printers; just remove all of the 'i32' and so on suffixes, as well as making decimals not formatted in scientific notation. This is pretty easy to do as well, not a huge change code-wise (but obviously I'll have to fix all of the tests).
This got me to think though, which is the format that we actually want? The current format that is output, or the format that we accept in the loader? Since this is actually perhaps a language level change either way I figured I should find consensus before spending more time on it. Thoughts/comments are appreciated. Thanks, - Ian
