at the same time? Yes, that's correct. PARROT_API means it's something that we can link to in a lib, and PARROT_INLINE means that the compiler can inline it. Those two are mutually exclusive. -- Andy Lester = [EMAIL PROTECTED] = www.petdance.com = AIM:petdance

Re: VTABLE_elements

2007-12-29 Thread Andy Lester
What about when you want to implement things like, element -1 gets the last element of the array? That's the case in some languages, I believe... Yes, but we're talking about returning the number of elements in a PMC. That should never be negative. -- Andy Lester = [EMAIL PROTECTED

VTABLE_elements

2007-12-28 Thread Andy Lester
Should we be allowing negative in the PMC elements() functions? Seems to me they'd be more appropriate as UINTVALs. xoa -- Andy Lester = [EMAIL PROTECTED] = www.petdance.com = AIM:petdance
