Hi Enrico,
in early days I had written string constant values as array elements,
in order to avoid the string termination '\0' only polluting memory.
For example, see the current (OLD) state in file:
cybop/src/constant/name/cybol/super_cybol_name.c
/** The super cybol name. */
static wchar_t SUPER_CYBOL_NAME_ARRAY[] = {L's', L'u', L'p', L'e', L'r'};
static wchar_t* SUPER_CYBOL_NAME = SUPER_CYBOL_NAME_ARRAY;
static int* SUPER_CYBOL_NAME_COUNT = NUMBER_5_INTEGER_STATE_CYBOI_MODEL_ARRAY;
However, meanwhile students and me decided to write string literals
normally. This would mean to replace constant array values like
{L's', L'u', L'p', L'e', L'r'} with a string like L"super".
Example for (NEW) target state:
/** The super cybol name. */
static wchar_t* SUPER_CYBOL_NAME = L"super";
static int* SUPER_CYBOL_NAME_COUNT = NUMBER_5_INTEGER_STATE_CYBOI_MODEL_ARRAY;
Note:
- the first line (after the comment) gets deleted
- in the second line, the string L"super" gets inserted after the =
- mind the "L" prefix before the string, which is for wide characters
- the third line remains unchanged
To what concerns the task of changing constants to strings,
I had already edited the following directories myself:
cybop/src/constant/channel/
cybop/src/constant/encoding/
cybop/src/constant/format/
cybop/src/constant/language/
cybop/src/constant/type/
The following two are yet to be done:
cybop/src/constant/name/
cybop/src/constant/model/
So if you find the time to change these as described above,
I would be very happy since it would save me a lot of time.
CAUTION!
However, there are some rare exceptions, where a replacement is
NOT wanted, e.g. in sub directories:
cybop/src/constant/model/ansi_escape_code/
cybop/src/constant/model/character_code/
If you are unsure, just send me a list of those files that you are unsure
about and I tell you one-by-one, which ones to edit and which ones not.
Thanks
Christian
