That "wacky ri language" is RTL, the Icon Runtime Implementation Language. It's basically C code with a few extra annotations (mostly declarations) that allow the Icon compiler to do the type and liveness analysis it needs to do. It's documented in an IPL -- I don't know the number, but a search on www.cs.arizona.edu/icon should find it. There are a lot of ugly ifdefs all over the code for Windows vs Unix versions. The right way would be to separate the OS dependencies in some abstraction, and just one ifdef at the top to pick the right implementation. -s -- "If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn. They teach you there's a boundary line to music. But, man, there's no boundary line to art." ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
