Yep, makes perfect sense. Thanks.

Apart from the slip indicated in the diff, 'where' should be 'were'.
Sorry.

Maybe VI macros that can use [ai]spell on the current buffer? Or a macro that writes out a tmp file and runs [ai]spell on that and hooks back the result?

Only a few this time.

some slips may be hard to pick up: lib|d|emo vs lib|b|emo
and semaphore vs sempahore because lines are the same length.

A quick look at the latest manual (8.2.7) indicates that you've fixed the little typos. Thank you very much -- now I can read without tripping ;-) But the first typo was hard to pick up: nuevatAc used instead of nuevatEc. It occurs as a hypertext link in the last line of the paragraph that comes jus...

In the manual we have this example: typedef struct mystruc { int number; char * ptr; } MYSTRUC; MYSTRUC * foo3(char * ptr, int num ) { MYSTRUC * astruc; astruc = malloc(sizeof(MYSTRUC)); astruc->ptr = malloc(strlen(ptr) + 1); strcpy(astruc->ptr, ptr); astruc->number = num; return(astruc); } > (set '...

+1 (i.e. "yes" to having them added)

Quite true :-)
Thank you.

... It could be an option though to have the choise in a "define/contstant/set" to have a user defined "Comment" like (where it must be included in every source file at the beginning, otherwise it wont work) -->> (setq comment '( "[text]" "[/text"] ) (setq comment '( "{" "}" ) (setq comment '( "[te...

well, there you go! I completely missed the fact that newlisp had a sourceforge page.

but no mailing list ;-)

So basically the [text], [/text] tags would always be on a line by itself. I am not sure ... I have to think about this a little bit longer... Lutz Not at all. I shall be more precise: the parser would ignore the first newline only if the newline exists . No current code will be affected except tho...

May I share my thoughts on this? (Bit cheeky for a new user - sorry) I think that the current system for source code control and distribution is perfect! We have no problems with any website being down or CVS being broken? Why complicate things? We don't have a mailing list though. The advantage of ...

Hi Lutz, This is an rfc - a request for convenience ;-) Should the parser be made to ignore the first hard newline after [text]? This would make it easier to write and read boxed-quoted text in scripts. For example: here is how we currently write 2 indented paragraphs: [text]___words words words wor...

Thanks newdep. I've added it to the one on the site, Also added 3 other words. http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/j_gauss/wix/newlisp.html There's another macro available as well - it does "autobrackets". Yeah, I had left [text][/text] as normal dunno why :-) ... I'm also going to make a suggestion fo...

Hi Lutz , I got a PM from you to say that the mail might have been dropped. So here is a link to the tarball. http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/~j_gauss/wix/lucas.tgz ** since removed -- Lutz now has it ** This was just a first pass over the docs yielding about 80 possible errors/typos. Reject or acc...

Hi Lutz,

I've sent you an email with an attachment. There was a fair bit of context which enlarged the file thereby making it too large to post here.

Lucas.

For those who like using JOE, I've prepared a newlisp.jsf for syntax highlighting available from: http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/j_gauss/wix/newlisp.html Change the colors to suit. You will need to make changes to your .joerc file as described. It blinks annoyingly if you use deprecated functions....

Great! Now we can implement efficient queues easily.

Another way to call-by-"reference" (macros are probably the better way to do it): > ;;call-by-"reference" without using macros > ;;example list > (set 'a '(1 2 3)) (1 2 3) > ;;set "pointer" to 'a > (set 'p 'a) a > ;;"dereference" pointer > (eval p) (1 2 3) > ;;define function to demonstrate call-by-...

Hmm, then I was right to ask the question.

Conclusion: no problem! I will just use meaningful function names and indentation!

Thank you for your attention.

Lucas.

I checked with (sys-info) and my assumption seems to be correct. But I'll wait for Lutz to confirm :-)

Lucas

Thank you Lutz for the taking the time. I mostly understand newlisp's memory management and prefer it to oldlisp's. :-) I understand that nice new fresh lists are returned from functions. My question was not clear enough. It was a silly question (I hope). Please allow me to try again. Sometimes when...

Hello, in a large function, to decrease the number of nested function calls, I may wish to temporarily set the list (I'm working on) to a symbol. And then call the functions using the symbol as a reference and always resetting the sybol. For e.g. Instead of (doz (doy (dox somelist))) I could go (beg...

Hi I'm new -- thank you for new newLisp. I like the fact that newLisp is small and efficient. I am a student and web developer soon to be undertaking web-development projects for non-profit organisations. These organisations have only low-powered computers with little memory. In reference to mod_new...
