This would be great. In the past it seemed unfeasable because of the 'ethnicity' of source code designed for MacOS 9. As you pointed out, the use of handles in replacement to pointers (thereby taking full advantage of MacOS' memory management, formerly named 'garbage collection') made it difficult to write comprehensive code even when using macros. I would have appreciated a macro able to transliterate to representation of arrays, for instance A[i] to (**h_A)[i] or (*p_A)[i]. Most interesting would be the implementation of polymetric expansion, quantization and 'serial operators' working on polymetric expressions. Bernard Bel |
