I got a bunch of the console utilities done for my modular Parser Construction Kit
now you can do things like generate parsers and lexers, and i've almost got the bit where you can convert between different formats (so you can use Gold grammars with ANTLR or YACC, or my parser for example. or user ANTLR grammars with that same list, etc)
That's probably the coolest feature. Now people can use whatever grammars are available with whatever parsers are available.
That's still very experimental and my lexer conversion usually requires hand porting after-the-fact still.
I NEED TO SOLVE ARDEN'S THEOREM in C# to fix the above.
I'm vexed. Still, it's really amazing.
Now you can do like
@echo generating parser
ll1prep xbnf.pck | ll1gen /class XbnfParser > XbnfParser.cs
@echo generating tokenizer/lexer
ll1prep xbnf.pck | fagen /class XbnfTokenizer > XbnfTokenizer.cs
like a unix weenie
pretty soon:
xlate xbnf.pck xbnf.gold.grm
xlate xbnf.antlr.grm xbnf.yacc.y
etc
Now the question: the executable names are pretty general and i wanted to make them more specific to my project so you can put them in the path
the project suite is called pck so I was thinking
like either
pck.ll1gen
pckll1gen
pll1gen instead of just ll1gen
or
pck.xlate
pckxlate
pxlate instead of just xlate
what do you guys think for the naming?
i want it as short as can still be reasonable. Specific enough to avoid collisions on most systems (i don't need a guarantee)
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

I think the names should be adjust to reflect your framework. Mostly because I have my own xlate utility but if those utilities are not very generic in their functionality they should be named more specifically in my opinion.

i think so too, i'm just not sure which variation to use among the examples i listed, or perhaps a different one.

If you figure it out, let me know. I need to help a friend with it. Oh... Hang on a minute...

I hate that I can't solve it. All it does is turn a finite automata graph into a regular expression, basically

From microsoft's response to visual studio user/customer requests:
Quote: We find that around 15% of the suggestions are challenging to act on, and they typically fall into the following buckets.
11% – Closed as duplicate
3% – Closed due to missing info from customer
1% – Closed because they were not suggestions for Visual Studio
My take from this: if requests are too hard might involve even a little real work:
1. wait until 2 people have asked the same question - close as duplicates.
2. something missed in the request? "shouldn't there be a comma there?" - closed.
3. did we ever say it would do that? yeah but exactly like that? No? - closed.
....
OK people, all those closed requests, please push them off the table straight into those [trash] buckets over there.
Wait! on second thoughts leave some behind in case other people ask for the same thing again.
so what's left? just this one?
someone requested a new icon? right! this we can do, let's go team, we've got work to do.

They didn't seem to mention the usual response:
We're too close to the next release to do this now. Closing as "wontfix".
Maybe that explains why they're releasing things much faster these days?

I'm pretty sure that "1" in "15%" was meant to be a "9".

No - the "5" was meant to be a "00".

I'm just impressed that the numbers add up. 11+3+1 does indeed equal 15. They must have used Excel.  I mean really, this is a major milestone for any corporation, that the breakdown of their numbers adds up to the stated total. It's a miracle!

Try entering the following two formulae in an Excel spreadsheet:
- =0.5-0.4-0.1 (displayed as 0, which is correct)
- =1*(0.5-0.4-0.1) (displayed as -2.77556E-17
 )
(The second result is actually accurate, is all values are doubles. Excel apparently attempts to "correct" for the fact that decimal fractions cannot, as a rule, be converted to an exact binary value.  )

That just proves they fudged the figures.

Maybe a separate thing but what about "this behavior is by design"?

What kind of craps is that to post? Don't your roulette the bad ones? Well, it's too late to baccarat of posting it so let's make the best of it.

Wouldn't going to hospital in Las Vegas be the ultimate gamble?

In the late 70s and early 80s (that is 1970s/1980s) there was a big rush in the home computer market, that concludes in our time with computers everywhere...
I had some discussions about that time and was wondering...
* Was that really that good?
* What was so good (or bad) about it?
* Do we have it somewhere today?
* What is/was your C64?
I wasn't aware of it then (no other experience), but what is most amazing while looking back is the total control, the work without any mediator between you and the computer, between the software and the hardware (which was of course a source some interesting smell/smoke/noise)...
I could sit down after-school and within a few seconds was in the computer, hacking it away...
What is your experience?

My first machine was a Commodore 16 (Black & Grey) had it for a few years then upgraded(?) to a C64.
The C16 was interesting as it had pretty much the same inputs as the C64 just different shaped plugs!
The user port of that go me into Hardware where I am today!

My first computer was a ZX Spectrum 128K +2A, with the +2A meaning some games just didn't work because of the architecture; as opposed to those games that just didn't load for reasons, and those games that did work for 10 minutes then crashed hard.
My favourite games on that platform were the Dizzy series. Good times.

First machine was an Amiga 1000 (the original one); Dad got it for us (mostly me), it cost $5000 !!!
I wish I still has it.
I'd rather be phishing!
