Hi Fernando, I'm still in the habit of using LibraryMake. E.g. for https://github.com/p6-xml/LibXML-raku released in this last few months. Regards, David On Sun, Dec 22, 2019 at 7:47 AM Fernando Santagata < nando.santag...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > What can I use to help building native code

Re: Fastest way to convert from a Buf to a Str?

Are all characters in the range 0-255, ie latin-1 characters? You could then try: my $str = $buf.decode("latin-1"); There's one potential issue if your data could contain DOS end of lines ("\r\n"), which will get translated to a single logical "\n" in the decoded string. - David On Sun, Feb

Are 64 bit natives universally available?

Quick question. I just want to doublle check that int64, uint64 are universally available via Perl 6, before introducing them into modules. e.g. % perl6 -e'my uint64 $n = 99; say $n' 99 - David

Thanks Timo, A Proc::Async example, after reading the doco. Agree, that't better, even for the simple case :-) - David my $proc = Proc::Async.new('sh', '-c', 'for x in `seq 1 1` ; do echo "o$x"; echo "e$x" 1>&2; done'); # subscribe to new output from out and err handles: $proc.stdout.tap(-> $

Re: Bi-directional communication with another process

Perl 5 and C have the select call that lets you determine which of a group of file-descriptor are ready for reading and writing. I thought it might be useful here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Select_(Unix) I've found a module by Tadzik, https://github.com/tadzik/IO-Select, but it's looking defu

Re: Union

Hi Marcel, With regard to checking for endianess. I don't think there's anything built in NativeCall that directly determines this, but hopefuly the following should do it, without resorting to a C compiler. use NativeCall; sub little-endian returns Bool { my $i = CArray[uint32].new: 0x0123456

Re: Custom accessor compose via traits

t's got a pretty simple tied interface to arrays and hashes, which are a bit more evolved than the above. hash methods are also overrride: AT-KEY ( $foo) , and ASSIGN-KEY ($foo = 42) It's an experiment, which is so far, progressing pretty well, the above is just a nit. - David On Fri, J

Custom accessor compose via traits

The example below is combines traits (S14) Lvalue subs (S06) to create a base class SimpleTiedHash that ties Attributes to the hash using the 'Entry' accessor. PDFCatalog is an example instance class. This mostly works well. But SimpleTiedHash currently has a hacky way of overriding the built-in
