Where and how do you use genetic programming ?? (just interested : )
> In C# 4.0 the VM becomes a module of the standard lib, so it can be used > from normal C# code, to do various things. > > While writing a genetic programming program (and in some other situations) > I find it useful to have an eval() function, like in Lisp/Scheme and most > scripting languages. > > I think such functionalities may be added to DMD and LDC too: > - 99% of the compiler can be moved into a DLL (or a shared dynamic lib of > some kind) and the DMD/LDC executable can then become very little, it can > load such dynamic lib, and it has just to manage the I/O from/to disk and > the command line arguments, ad little else. > - By default such dynamic lib isn't loaded by D programs, so the size of D > programs is unchanged (and they don't need such dll to run). > - A module can be added to the std lib (Tango and Phobos) that loads such > dll and offers a function like eval() that accepts in input a string of > code (or an AST too, if you want) and compiles/runs it. > > Bye, > bearophile
