World: r4wp

Bo, I'm looking here in the documentation of the GNU C library, where 
it says they are BSD extensions:

http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Floating-Point-Classes.html

I'm working on integrating them into the binding

C99 defines corresponding macros, so that's the standard, but C macros 
can't be used in Red/System

Kaj, thanks!

Looked through your files, Gregg. You've been busy :-)

Yes I have. It's great fun. Starting from the basics, seeing what 
you need to build everything else, and re-thinking how to do things 
because things like PARSE aren't there yet.

Does Red already have a URL! datatype?

No. Now is your chance to make sure it's done right. :-)

Hmm, Rebol is, essentially, in the same situation (url! is incorrect)

(maybe more correct in R2 than in R3)

Interesting, and not good.

I believe Red can find a market:  http://www.drdobbs.com/jvm/the-quiet-revolution-in-programming/240152206?cid=DDJ_nl_upd_2013-04-03_h&elq=6510ad5ddf4b42adb5b3cd05ed730e24

Yes, there's an opportunity for a language like Red with very broad 
possible usage.

The DrDobbs link led to this one - After XML, JSON: Then What?

That article mentions that one of the "most interesting" new data 
formats being considered is TOML (this looks like the .ini file format)

https://github.com/mojombo/toml

Is this really what we can expect?

Funny, on each iteration, they are getting closer and closer to REBOL 
data format...:-)

# First class dates? Why not?
# You can indent as you please. Tabs or spaces. TOML don't care.

:-))

INSERT action implemented for all series datatype. Unit tests are 
welcome.

Especially on strings with different internal encodings (Latin1, 
UCS-2, UCS-4), all combination should be tested for both INSERT and 
APPEND.

INSERT and APPEND on string! extended to handle argument value of 
any datatype!.

(implicit FORM applied to arguments not directly compatible)

New OpenCV Red/System code demo and video (image real-time filtering) 
posted by François: 

http://www.digicamsoft.com/cgi-bin/rebelBB.cgi?thread=%3C17Mar2013190850930275100%3E

François says that the Red/System binding has been tested successfully 
with OpenCV 2.0. Base OpenCV features are 98% complete, now François 
is working on wrapping image processing functions.

Go Doc Go!

Quick tests inserting a string in a string work, but inserting a 
word or integer crash.

Char! seems to work.

Testing from console.

I can't reproduce the issue Gregg, it works fine here.

Hmmm. Let me rebuild the console again, to be sure it's not that.

Still crashes.

Maybe your repo is corrupted somehow?

Any easy way to test that?

Just clone a fresh copy in a temp folder and try recompiling the 
console.

(or download a zip package)

Downloaded a zip, built the console, still crashes.

My bad, it seems the commit wasn't pushed online...

Just pushed it now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

NP.

Works now. :-)

Good! :)

Not sure if I've mentioned it here before, but tomorrow I'm moving 
to a new place, on the shore, so I'll probably be offline the whole 
day.

No commits on Suterday? How you can be so easy going ;-)

:-)

I thought I am the only one refressing the Github commit log several 
times a day :-)

eh, too much of a beer - refreshing, I mean .....

Nope, same here :-)

Guys, you can just subscribe to the commits feed, and preserve your 
keyboard a bit:

Doc, alive, that's all we need to know :-)

Oldes: you're right, I'm becoming a bit too careless, I'll try to 
get something done at least tomorrow, then I'll go swim in the sea.
