ACK, wanted something like this forever. > STRING* dump(INTERP, SELF, STRING *, INTVAL flags); what is the STRING * parameter good for. I assume lineheaders. > append and return a printable representation of SELF, with flags being: > 0x1 ... name (whoami) > 0x2 ... id (enum) > 0x4 ... value(s) (non aggregates) > 0x8 ... address > ... e.g. newlines, tabs in output for aggregates > 0x100...n ... dump of aggregate items at nesting (n-0x100) Use the lower bits for nesting depth. This way you can use n = flags & 0xff to obtain the nesting depth, and still define the flags which can be passed to the passed to dump of the childs: dump (..., (flags & ~0xff) | n-1); > Comments welcome > leo allways boe -- Juergen Boemmels [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fachbereich Physik Tel: ++49-(0)631-205-2817 Universitaet Kaiserslautern Fax: ++49-(0)631-205-3906 PGP Key fingerprint = 9F 56 54 3D 45 C1 32 6F 23 F6 C7 2F 85 93 DD 47
