Re: [Bug-apl] Is this output incorrect?

[Peter Teeson]

Hi Jürgen:

Well please help me properly understand the no_readline function in Input.cc.

Because it's called instead of the readline library because of the --rawCIN.

I've made comments of my interpretation of the code but am probably wrong.

So I'd appreciate any contribution to my very rusty C++.

no_readline(const UCS_string * prompt)

{

   if (prompt) // points at 6 spaces x'20'

      {

        CIN << '\r' << *prompt << flush; // CIN is an ostream see Output.cc

        UTF8_string prompt_utf(*prompt);

        loop(p, prompt_utf.size()) // ungets those spaces from stdin

           {

             const int cc = prompt_utf[prompt_utf.size() - p - 1];

             ungetc(cc & 0xFF, stdin);

           }

      }

etc

Much appreciated and

respect…

Peter

Hi Peter,

looks OK to me. (Note: as of recently apl -s does the same as your command line options).

--rawCIN reads directly from the file (stdin in this case) without outputting any prompts.
The line numbers in the ∇-editor count as prompts and are therefore suppressed as well.

However when you display the function with [⎕] then the line numbers are not prompts
but output of the editor.
