Hi Ian,
What does your "custom function loading code" do?
I presume that you want to load functions from external dlls and make them
available to EE.
This brings me an idea: as the number of functions EE supports will grow,
we're going to need a concept similar to namespaces and impose some
structure on the naming of functions to be consistent.
I suggest that we leave string and conversion functions as they are now
(they are kind-of "core"), but change names of all other functions by
prefixing them with their functional area:
round(v) -> math.round(v)
floor(v) -> math.floor(v)
ceiling(v) -> math.ceiling(v)
abs(v) -> math.abs(v)
getcreationtime(filename) -> file.creationtime(filename)
getlastwritetime(file) -> file.lastwritetime(filename)
getlastaccesstime(file) -> file.lastaccesstime(filename);
fileexists(file) -> file.exists(filename)
filesize(file) -> file.size(filename)
now() -> date.now
datediff(d1,d2) -> date.diff(d1,d2)
dateadd(d1,seconds) - date.add(d1,d2)
Assuming you'd have cvs functions, they would be placed in "cvs" namespace
cvs.getfilerevision(filename)
cvs.ismodified(filename)
cvs.isbinary(filename)
The function loading code should place loaded functions in a separate
namespace. So could load functions like this:
<loadfunctions assembly="AAA.dll" type="Functions" prefix="aaa" />
Assuming class Functions contains:
public static int testme(string a,int b,DateTime c) { }
It sould be accessible as: "aaa.testme()" not "testme()". <loadfunctions>
shouldn't allow you to load functions into a global namespace.
Another question: should function names be case sensitive? Should they be
upper-, lower- or mixed case ? pascal casing (File.CreationTime()), camel
casing (File.creationTime()) or linux casing (file.creation_time)?
