I don't think this is a particularly useful project. The cddlib API is, by today's standards, not very well designed. No automatic documentation. PPL is, by comparison, a very nice API and at least uses doxygen.. I also find the source code much more readable. A student would learn much more about software best practices by leaning to use PPL. Implementation wise, basically all sample programs that are distributed with cddlib end up leaking memory if you run them in valgrind (*). Thats not a big deal if you drive them as a separate process, but once you link the code into Sage then we must be much more careful. Volker (*) That doesn't necessarily mean that cddlib leaks memory, but we'd need to audit it carefully before we could link to it with good conscience. But then I'm pretty sure that most of the cddlib code was written before valgrind, so it wouldn't surprise me if there were memory leaks. -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
