it's too late now.

Hello people, I have returned. So what have I missed?
Well Ciyana is going on well and I had some insipiration today on thoughts about the execution and debugging of programs. Does anybody know where I can get material on debuggers and intepreters? I need to know how they work so I can use them for Ciyana.
So far about the intepreter I have the following ideas.
Variables and the likes will be stored in files during the intepretation of code.
When the code refers to a variable,using some specialised routines,I can read the values as they are in the files, work on them and store the results back in the files.
Built in functions will be implemented as follows.Say the code reads: a = Sqrt(b). What I would do is the following. From the file, I would read the current value of b into a vb variable say an integer. I would then call the Sqrt function (which I would write myself) to get what the result is. Then the value would be saved to file where "a" has its space.
My current code library contains over 3000 lines of code (about 81 string functions ,rougly 30 mathematical functions, 10 logical functions and 4 sort and search functions) Yep I have been writing this library for the past 6 months and everyday it continues to grow. I intend to include it as part of the Ciyana runtime libraries. Ciyana by the way is going to be very powerful when it comes to text processing.Why? what do compilers,word processors, browsers, intepreters etc work with? TEXT TEXT TEXT. The more functions there are to deal with text the better.I have functions to select individual words,swap them, move them, replace them,expand them,encrypt them, analyse facts about them etc. All this is to be used for the Ciyana compiler itself.
If anyone wants any of it, as soon as I can get it into a DLL ,I can mail you a copy(let me know at: [email protected])
So then people lets share our ideas about how compilers and intepreters work. I will return and we can start right with VB itself.Meanwhile keep chatting and see ya. Eric.
C\C++\VB\PERL - yada yada yada
How many out there rememeber when programming was really programming - the syntax and librabries have gotten so huge it's hard to remember everything all the time
Granted that just could be the age factor - and perhaps the woodstock effect
I miss OS/8 octal assembler 32K magnetic core memory and a power bill that would have brought down ENRON two years earlier.....
but THAT is just MY opinion - won't even buy a coffee
hehe
Cheers
...and even then, Enron would still have been alive and well when the last person before you posted in this thread.Quote:

ASM rules. I can't claim veteranship of ancient hardware but I did once write a mouce accelerator in ASM on my atari ST when I was 8.
OK - so... well....... um...........
Sometimes when you are browsing for a solution you stumble on stuff -
For an old dude like me, 2001 was yesterday - you just WAIT until your bowels go - then you'll know - you'll understand.....
