EHLO again folks: Hope all is well with you all. I believe I will take the old parrot out of the cage today, so I need to see what you guys were wanting along the lines of the format string processing. I was thinking of a similar version to perl5's 'dummed down' format strings. what all must be provided for? Do I need to fully implement C's *printf() conventions? I can see routines that will allow me to stringify INTVAL's, NUMBER's etc, but I haven't even thought about providing for conventions for pmc's as of yet. How is this handled as each type of PMC would need methods for this I would assume. Do these functions exist yet?
Am I on taget with this assumption that we are building a STRING with internal parrot datatypes or should I just be providing for the c datatypes {or both :-\ }??? Let me just say one last time that I am new to anything of this size or complexity :) So if my questions seem kinda stupid just let me know off the list and Ill tone down the traffic :) Roman
