- If this manual is for 4.1 should it make mention of memstructs?
It doesn't help that I don't understand memstructs. But, the idea was to go to 25-30 pages maximum.
Is memstructs in 4.1 yet? I think the concensus was that there was no reason to leave it out, but I haven't seen any commits suggesting that it has actually put into the mainline yet.
mattlewis logged in less than an hour ago. As the original author of this feature, it'd be really nice to hear his thoughts about this.
Would memstructs "scare off" someone who is virtually new to programming and sees oE for the first time? Does this suggest an advanced minimanual targeted to advanced users?
Memstructs is mostly for interfacing to C and other external libraries. This has generally been considered an 'advanced' topic in the past, but at the same time I can see plently of newbies anting to (for example) interface Euphoria with their favorite game library or something.
A newbie/beginner oriented memstructs guide would not be a bad thing.
Forked into: mattlewis? Has anyone heard from him on the memstructs issue yet?
