Harbs, First, I can't believe you have time to code just after having another baby.
But anyway, is your goal to convert these structures to AS or to replicate the Restructure library in AS? Seems like if you want lazy instantiation, you should be using Restructure in AS. That said, in AS, we can use getters for lazy instantiation. My 2 cents, -Alex On 5/2/18, 9:13 AM, "Harbs" <[email protected]> wrote: Here’s a fun one: var MinMax:Struct = new Struct({ minCoord: new Pointer(r.uint16, BaseCoord), // May be NULL maxCoord: new Pointer(r.uint16, BaseCoord), // May be NULL featMinMaxCount: r.uint16, // May be 0 featMinMaxRecords: new ArrayStruct(FeatMinMaxRecord, 'featMinMaxCount') // In alphabetical order }); This struct is then used in another and so on: var BaseLangSysRecord:Struct = new Struct({ tag: new StringStruct(4), // 4-byte language system identification tag minMax: new Pointer(r.uint16, MinMax, {type: 'parent'}) }); I believe one of the primary features of these classes is that they support lazy initialization and the structures can be evaluated as needed.

The Restructure library/language looks like an attempt to strongly-type data structures. I've been told that type-inferencing is a key part to performance in JS in the browser. But as we look into the future at other output types, statically knowing types looks like it will be really important. > > Having a way to output bracket notation might be a bunch of work, and you might be surprised by the results.

They are data structures that are constructed from binary data. They are also generally lazily initialized (which makes a huge difference in performance and memory footprint). Basically, there are tens of tables which might, or might not exist in any given font. The tables might or might not have different pieces of information to describe features and functionality. > > It took my a couple of weeks just to wrap my head around all this stuff… ;-) > > It’s using this set of classes (also migrated to AS3): > https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fdevongovett%2Frestructure&data=02%7C01%7Caharui%40adobe.com%7C0dba99c3f32b410a1fd608d5affe6efd%7Cfa7b1b5a7b34438794aed2c178decee1%7C0%7C0%7C636608429687243487&sdata=%2Bn6rP8sRodUlqLqLlcia%2FWwQMAvBYpYDmlU%2BNE4YGDk%3D&reserved=0 <https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fdevongovett%2Frestructure&data=02%7C01%7Caharui%40adobe.com%7C0dba99c3f32b410a1fd608d5affe6efd%7Cfa7b1b5a7b34438794aed2c178decee1%7C0%7C0%7C636608429687243487&sdata=%2Bn6rP8sRodUlqLqLlcia%2FWwQMAvBYpYDmlU%2BNE4YGDk%3D&reserved=0> > > There are 148 instances of Struct alone.

Many of the variables can have different types depending on the context too.

In this case,we don't know the type of "offsets". The quick fix is to just accept that it might not resolve and just let the browser deal with it. However, we don't know what the Google Closure optimizer will do with the "offsets" property. It may or may not rename it. I keep thinking we should be warning when folks use Object. In Royale you are asking for optimizer trouble if you are not completely strongly-typed. >>> >>> Thoughts? >>> -Alex >>> >>> On 5/1/18, 11:19 PM, "Harbs" <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> FYI, I just
