Documentation typo in CodePatterns

Hi, I realized that the code for the fibonacci functions in the codepatterns section is wrong: http://www.newlisp.org/CodePatterns.html#toc-5 The code is: ; classic recursion ; slow and resource hungry (define (fib n) (if (< n 2) 1 (+ (fib (- n 1)) (fib (- n 2))))) > (fib 12) 233 Should be: ; classi...

Re: implicit indexing on empty string

Perfect, I see the point. Thanks for your detailed explanation!

implicit indexing on empty string

I'm surprised that implicit indexing doesn't raise an error on an empty string (when called with 0 or -1), while it does on an empty list: > ("" 0) "" > ("" -1) "" With another index, we get an error as expected: > ("" 1) ERR: invalid string index If we compare to implicit indexing on an empty list,...

Re: Wanting stdout, stderr and return code of shell commands

Old post but it's worth a reply as I was also looking for a solution. process and waitpid can be used. An example returning stdout/stderr combined and the return code of the command: (define (exec2 cmd) (let ((pid) (out_r) (out_w) (output) (data)) (map set '(out_r out_w) (pipe)) (setq pid (process c...

Re: I/O multiplexing on pipes

Yes your code works for the ret_sint32 function, which takes an int as an argument and return an int as a result. My problems comes when I want to call a function taking no argument and returning a signed int: $ cat returnneg.c int returnneg() { return -1; } $ gcc -Wall -fPIC returnneg.c -shared -o ...

Re: I/O multiplexing on pipes

Thanks for the advice about named pipes and peek. Code has been tested on Debian/Squeeze and Debian/Jessie, on amd64. Newlisp is compiled with ffilib. $ gcc -m64 -fPIC ffitest.c -shared -o ffitest.dylib $ newlisp newLISP v.10.6.0 64-bit on Linux IPv4/6 UTF-8 libffi, options: newlisp -h > (sys-info) ...

I/O multiplexing on pipes

Had to perform some I/O multiplexing on pipes (read multiple pipes in parallel until they're closed), and realized that newlisp does not provide a function like "select" in C to monitor file descriptors. I've looked in the documentation but didn't find any solution. I've ended doing a C implementati...

newlisp with libreadline 6.3

Hi everyone, I'm a newcomer to newlisp, that's my first post on this forum. Had an issue compiling newlisp with readline on debian testing (error messages bellow). CPPFunction and the like are unavailable since readline 6.3. I provide here a quick diff to get it compiled properly: --- newlisp-10.6.0...
