[pclasses-devel] Prefs code?

[stephan b. <st...@s1...>]

Hi, Marc!

A question about your Prefs support:

i want to start on the App module, and will need to implement these 
features:
- argv parser. (ArgvParser class)
- OO access to environment. (Environment class)
- per-app config files. (AppConfig? class)

i have all of that, but i need to port it from eshell. The problem is 
that i've built up lots of deps on other code of mine, and now need to 
figure out which parts P has and which ones i need to bring over.

So, my question is: do you have a class which offers generic properties 
support. i mean, a map-like class which stores key/val pairs? That 
support is really the core to the App module, because the Environment 
and ArgvParser currently extend a type which provides that 
functionality. Also, such a type is inherently useful as a simple 
config file.

So, if you've got such a type, please get it into P2 CVS, or let me know 
where to find it. If not i'll port in my PropertyStore type, which uses 
templatizes get()/set() functions to do lexical casting, which allows 
us to store any i/ostreamable type. IIRC you already have a type for 
this? If so i will rewrite around that one.


See ya!
