In Ring 1.25 (GitHub) - RingVM_RingoLists() function

[Mahmoud Fayed]

Hello

This is one of the new features provided by Ring 1.25 (under development)

This function processes a Ring Object File (*.ringo) and returns its contents as Ring lists.

The function’s output is a list containing five sublists:

• List of files

• List of functions

• List of classes

• List of packages

• List of bytecode instructions

Example:

C_LINESIZE = 40 cFile = read("pwct.ringo") aList = ringvm_ringolists(cFile) ? copy("=",C_LINESIZE) ? "List Size: " + len(aList) ? copy("=",C_LINESIZE) ? "Files count: " + len(aList[1]) ? "Functions count: " + len(aList[2]) ? "Classes count: " + len(aList[3]) ? "Packages count: " + len(aList[4]) ? "Instructions count: " + len(aList[5]) ? copy("=",C_LINESIZE)

Output:

======================================== List Size: 5 ======================================== Files count: 1352 Functions count: 306 Classes count: 1434 Packages count: 2 Instructions count: 782280 ========================================

This feature could be used in applications that analysis Ring programs like visualization tools. Also, it could be used by tools that convert Ring programs to another representation.

Hello Mahmoud,

Yet IDE tools can make hot-analysis of Ring programs when they are deployed in production, compare them to the static code of the Ring project, and do whatever actions necessary to update changes without user interruptions...

Imagine what it takes to do this in other languages...

Your vision for ringo file format becomes clear now : it's one of the innovative pillars and key differenciators of the language!

ALL THE BEST,

Mansour
