I'd like to go about implementing [Perl]?LazyArray and LazySequence pmcs, possibly with a TiedArray (and Infinity) in the interim. I have a few semantic questions, but first, here's what I have in mind:
LazySequence: Manages individual lazy sequences like 1..Inf (or even 1..100_000) LazyArray: Aggregates multiple lazy things together, along with an "exceptions list" for things like: @a = 1..Inf; @a[6] = 42; First, do these work well as pmcs, or should it be integrated with PerlArray (I hope not)? Should Infinity be a pmc? Any ideas on how these things should be set up at the assembly level? I was thinking either: $P0 = new LazySequence $P1 = new Infinity $P0["from"] = 0 $P0["to"] = $P1 or $P0 = new LazySequence $P1 = new Infinity find_method P0, "set_range" .arg 0 # Assuming imcc knows the new conventions .arg $P1 invokecc Finally, what should things like: set $I0, $P0 # $P0 contains 1..Inf Because integer registers can't well store infinity... Thanks, Luke
