What I do not understand is why save_map does not simply save the RAM_SPACE bytes that are mallocated for the map and statistics that are available in that map structure and write that information out to a file.
I am repairing/enhancing these functions right this very moment.
The original decision was based on two things...
- I wrote 'load_map' first, in order to process a particular style of text file format that could also be represented as a hash map. After which I then thought that maybe there should be a corresponding save map to save a map in the same text format. In which case, unprintable keys would not make a lot of sense.
- There was no readily available routine to write and read arbitary Euphoria objects. This is no longer the case as I submitted a serilaize.e library a few days ago to do just that.
Now my plans are to enhance save_map and load_map to support the existing text-file representation and to support any type of data stored in a map.
It should be ready during the next 24-hours.
Thank You very much Derek.
These map.e functions will be great addition to version 4.0.
You may find then useful in the win32lib for keeping and
loading features and parameters.
Thanks again
