Re: Yet another C compiler

2005-10-25 Thread Christian Renz
Maybe someone wants to experiment a bit, if it compiles Parrot. Here's another thought... "The ACK achieves maximum portability by using an intermediate byte-code language called EM. (..) EM is a relatively high-level stack-based machine, and one of the tools supplied with ACK is an interpret

Ciao Mattia, thanks for your reply. I read a bit about ABI and I guess it's something I only want to touch with a long pole, that pole being an extra layer of indirection I initially hoped to be able to avoid. I like the idea of leveraging the wxPerl XS files. Any comments on why you introduced

wxParrot -- linking problems

2005-10-22 Thread Christian Renz
Hi all, I've recently decided to try to hook up the wxWidgets GUI library with parrot and Pugs. I haven't dabbled much with parrot yet so I consider this a good way to learn more :-). Right at the start, I ran into a curious problem loading the Wx libraries with loadlib. (I'm on Mac OS X 10.4, b

Clemens, "classpath" I guess the proper term would be class library. The path is only where you look for the libraries :). It doesn't seem to be the Perl way to limit yourself to one option only ("There's more than one way to do it"). Of course we wouldn't want five different implementations of Un

Thanks for the clarification. Does that mean that a mechanism for dynamic PMCs would automatically allow them to be written in Parrot also (and not only load binary libs)? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.web42.com/crenz/ - http://www.web42.com/

Re: [RFC] Dynamic PMC Classes

2003-07-30 Thread Christian Renz
I don't pretend that I fully understand what dynamic classes are about, but Dan's suggestions made it a lot clearer to me. This seems like one possible way to attach something like wxWindows to parrot. I'm wondering about one thing, however: We build classes as shared libraries, unless otherwise n

to link with python, we should probably write our own parser.[1] Just use Perl 6 to write it :). Ooops... looks like a chicken-and-egg problem... Greetings, Christian

Re: wxWindows Support / Interfacing libraries with Parrot

2003-07-06 Thread Christian Renz
The easiest way isn't avaialble yet. That is custom dynamically loaded PMCs (classes) representing some functionality. Hmm... then I think I misunderstood something. I thought PMCs are only used for language-specific data types (e.g. "PerlScalar", "PythonString") that are part of the Parrot core a

Actually, I was the one mentioning it in a completely offhand remark in some discussion about the future of wxWindows ;-). I'm not looking for official endorsement of wxWindows as "the" GUI toolkit for Parrot -- TIMTOWTDI -- but it sure would be sweet to have, and definitely would not hurt Parrot-b
