Hello,
I would like to simplify 'new_callback' op. first please see
https://github.com/parrot/parrot/blob/master/t/pmc/nci.t#L1545-#L1606-1551.
there are lines:
{{{
.local pmc user_data
user_data = new ['Integer']
user_data = 42
# A Sub that can be given to the library
# this callback function will eventually by called by the library
.const 'Sub' cb = "_call_back"
.local pmc cb_wrapped
cb_wrapped = new_callback cb, user_data, "vtU" # Z in pdd16
print "created a callback sub\n"
# now call the external sub, that takes a callback and user data
.local pmc libnci_test
libnci_test = loadlib "libnci_test"
.local pmc nci_cb_C1
nci_cb_C1 = dlfunc libnci_test, "nci_cb_C1", "vpP"
print "loaded a function that takes a callback\n"
nci_cb_C1( cb_wrapped, user_data )
}}}
passing the value of user_data into new_callback is useless and unused,
because it's finally invoked and used by this code:
{{{
nci_cb_C1( cb_wrapped, user_data )
}}}
So consider:
{{{
.local pmc user_data
user_data = new ['Integer']
# A Sub that can be given to the library
# this callback function will eventually by called by the library
.const 'Sub' cb = "_call_back"
.local pmc cb_wrapped
user_data = 42
cb_wrapped = new_callback cb, user_data, "vtU" # Z in pdd16
print "created a callback sub\n"
# now call the external sub, that takes a callback and user data
.local pmc libnci_test
libnci_test = loadlib "libnci_test"
.local pmc nci_cb_C1
nci_cb_C1 = dlfunc libnci_test, "nci_cb_C1", "vpP"
print "loaded a function that takes a callback\n"
user_data = 44 # user_data is changed here.
nci_cb_C1( cb_wrapped, user_data )
}}}
so passing user_data = 42 to new_callback is redundant, I would like to
simplify it to this one:
{{{
cb_wrapped = new_callback cb, "vtU"
}}}
