Is anyone still interested in the Euphoria Standard Library project?
Just to know whether developing tools for it would be beneficial...
I recently coded a locate.e module which will largely extend find and match
functionality. Here's the most general form:
object x
x=generic_locate(what,source,options)
options is a {name,value} ppair list. Allowable names are:
ALL - return a sequence of matches,not just one
ANY - interpret what as a sequence of items to be looked for
COUNT - Rank or number of items to return, 0 to men "all matches". Negative
values cause reverse search.
DIR - specify search direction when not included in the count option
EXTRACT - returns items rather than locations
FILTER - use a specific routine instead of standard comparison
MODE - count, find or match
NESTED - search sequence elements too
RMODE - return raw result, or a value()-like result
SLICE - restrict the part of source to be inspected
Testing all combinations will take some time, so, even if I release this as
a standalone library outside of the ESL, it won't be released very soon.
Currently, the library uses local variables through recursive calls and is not
reentrant. However, thre's no mechanism to enforce/warn against this now.
Question: is the multitasking API providing a standard way to report that a
resource is not available? (calll this a semaphore, fort short)?
