Re: [IBMiOSS] RPG easier/harder to use than other languages?

Mihael,

I saw this impl, but i found it somwhat lacking, in docs, and functionality.
For example you can either have character or integer keys, instead of any
mix of types (like a Java Map).
Also iterating though the map (if i saw correctly maybe another map impl)
is not done through a cursor for example.
So, in a procedure, if a get the map as parameter, i can't iterate without
disturbing another on-going iteration with the same map.

If i look at the docs, the usage seems to be somewhat complex, with lots of
implementation details (not interested in implementation, just how to use
it easily).

If you are interested in a tree maps then you should take a look at the <

implementations and the C code is VERY compatible.

I have created a wrapper for using the red black tree with character and
integer keys, see <http://rpgnextgen.com/index.php?content=libtree> .

Docs at ILEDocs <http://iledocs.sourceforge.net/docs/index.php?action=

iledocs.rpgnextgen.com ).

Dynamic arrays for RPG have been available for many years now from at

aware of. (As I said, underpublicized.)

If you're not LppEdd (Edoardo Luppi), you probably ought to at least
check out what they've already done. For reference, the most relevant

No, i'm not Edoardo.

I have investigated whats already available, and i find it somewhat

lacking

in functionality, easy of use, and docs.

I'm working on a map implementation that is more like a Java TreeMap,
backed by a red-black binary tree implementation.
So the keys are sorted.
