the power of stl containers in a c library

[kryton9]

Charles this would be awesome to have in Oxygen. It is in C, so I keep my hopes high!

Thanks for the link.

The Vala guys/gals used GLib and GObject to create their compiler...
Good stuff.

I believe a Genie comes with the compiler as well.

One advantage of using a C-emitter is having access to all these C libraries with static linkage.

The core of what open source is all about.

Good news about containers:

Stroustrup found that linked-lists are far less efficient than flat storage, even with the extra copying involved to insert new items. Linkeed lists disrupt efficient memory cacheing. So we can cheerfully forget about these convoluted things with a clear conscience.

You really know how to hurt a guy.  

If it wasn't for linked-lists, SB's dynamic array allocation and bounds management wouldn't be possible.

@Charles - Have a peek at this. PCMAC
 

[Charles Pegge]

Had Peter Verhas been in the right place at the right time, Apple might have adopted PCMAC instead of LLVM

I still have a Zilog z80 manual somewhere. It was the first processor I played with.

If Peter would have been in the U.S., and funded properly, I think the landscape might be a little different.
