Robert, Take Notes!
Allright allright...
Woah this Euphoria to C translator is pretty cool!
Let me pay good money for it!
Waw! What a good idea from Robert Craig to write a
Euphoria to C translator! He's a genius! Look at him!
He's so smarty-ass! Oh zupah l33t hax0r! Let me bow
down infront of your shining armor, kiss your noble
feet, and lick the lint beneath you toe-nails!
Heh?
Wha?
No kidding???
It was "MIKE THE SPIKE"'s idea??
What?
He set things up so he would get RDS to write a
translator?
Realy???
Well hell yeah it was me who's to thank for all of
this.
And why didn't I get a free copy? Huh? Why do you act
like an ass and not send me one?? I don't see
"Disclaimer: All messages posted on this list become
the intelectual property of RDS" written beneath this
page, do you want me to sue you?
Well hell, thanks a lot folks, you think my job is
done now huh? The translator is out by now, why even
bother listening to MTS anymore? Did you know it is
IMPOSSIBLE
to order Euphoria from Belgium? Why? Because you have
to be a millionair in Belgium before the bank gives
you a creditcard! This ain't the US! The King Of
Belgium don't even have a creditcard! And postal
order? Haha! That's funny, wait 3 weeks for RDS to
tell you "Go download it there"?
Well Rob, eventhough I hate your white ass right now,
you cheapskate, take notes of these easy-to-follow
tips on how to improve the translator;
1. (easy) I said this in a previous post, don't
declare 'int _0, _1, _2, _3' in a function if this
function does not use these vars. You will save memory
and increase callspeed doing this.
2. (easy) Add support for the 'import' header
directive. doing so, you can support 'import foo.c'
aswell. Any Euphoria source file that imports a C file
is able to call all functions available in that C file
in Euphoria. Plus, 'import foo.dll' should be allowed
aswell, simply pass the symbol for an external
function call found in the euphoria source file to
GetProcAddress() in exw/ecw*.lib to call it. This
would take about 10 minutes to implement in both exw
and ecw*.lib. If you want, I'll even write you the
source.
3. (easy) Get rid of 'machine()' in translated
Euphoria source! It slows things down dramatically!
4. (easy) Gotos? They whent out in the 60's! They're
bad coding style aswell, not to mention unreadable!
Believe me, using C flow control statements makes
things faster! The compiler often optimizes these to
jump tables and whatnot.
5. (medium) Add support for the 'as' header directive.
Doing so, you can support 'as c_lib', 'as c_source'
and 'as dll'. 'as c_lib' compiles the file where this
directive is found as a .lib or .a file, wich exports
Euphoria functions wich C/C++/Euphoria programs can
call. 'as dll' compiles the source into a DLL or
shared library, exporing all global routines and
variables.
6. (hard) And while you're at it, why not add a
portable ANSI dll library such as Stonewheel to the
interpretter wich allows you to call routines in
lib/.obj/etc. files as if they were DLLs? This way,
people can write routines in C/C++ and call them using
the interpretter. Or even allow people to re-write
parts of the interpretter using this method.
You know what? I'm out of a job right now, eversince
L&H stocks dropped to the basement (watch the news you
ass!). So, why not hire me so I can put in all this
stuff myself? Want my resume? Well, OK, but only if
you don't have a heart dissease, cos it looks better
than Bill Gates'!
Hell, forget the job, drag me into the team, I'll code
on Eu for free. Wha? You're afraid to give out source
to a psycho like me? (hehe...) NP man, you just send
me the interpreter core allready compiled, and I'll
work on the library functions and the parser, etc.
I'll show you how to field-kick Euphoria into the
mainstream! 2 weeks in my hands and Microsoft won't
even sell the Learners edition of VB anymore!
A graphical GUI tracer for all platforms, more
powerfull than Win32lib and portable, an IDE that
looks like VB on steroids, a database.e and a
network.e library wich make SQL look like last year's
shareware misser.
Yeah, I know I'm good....and so do you.... :p
