Still trying to solve the assembly/PMC vector interface. Accosted Dan on IRC re: multidimentional indices.
Looking for thoughts on this. Working under assumptions: * There is no assembler syntax yet, or atleast not final. * Hardcoding KEY *'s into the assembly is the only way so far. * Typically, an array index will be an int. * Multidimentional indices are only useful if they can be generated by executing code on the fly. The classic case of $map->[$x]->[$y]->[$z] comes to mind. This should collopse to $map->[$x,$y,$z] (or whatever the RFCs say the syntax should look like if anything). Two suggestions were made: * KEY * get_key() method added to PMCs. * PMC's be accepted in place of or in addition to KEY *'s in varients taking multidim subscripts. Working on a PMC representation that doesn't decompose, I'm eager to get this feature =) Thoughts? Thanks, -scott On Sun, 14 Jul 2002, Dan Sugalski wrote: > Yup.
