Hi Phil, Factor does not support inheritance so you cannot inherit from byte- array. The approach you outlined is the right way to do it.
Are you aware of the ulong-nth and set-ulong-nth words in the alien.c- types vocabulary, which read/write ulongs from a byte array unsafely? You need to wrap those in the sequence protocol (with bounds checking, etc.) Slava On 5-Nov-07, at 10:54 AM, Phil Dawes wrote: > Hi Factor Team, > > I'd like to create a class 'ulong-array' which has a byte-array as its > underlying storage, but overloads length, nth etc.. so that a 32bit > binary array can be used in sequence functions like sort. > > I can see how to do this as a tuple with one slot containing the > byte-array (and then making this an instance of sequence), but is it > possible to just inherit from the byte-array itself and overload the > methods? > > Many thanks, > > Phil > > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > --- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. > Still grepping through log files to find problems?
