Re: [chuck-dev] charAt, substring for strings

Ok. I've implemented a .substring(...) method, although since I couldn't build ChucK from the primary development branch (using the URL in https://lists.cs.princeton.edu/pipermail/chuck-dev/2011-November/000422.html), I wrote it and compiled it into the stable release (1.2.1.3). The things is that I want to get a clean, working ChucK compile for OS X _and_ Windows 7 from the same source tree. When trying to build ChucK from the primary dev. branch using the latest Cygwin environment (1.7.11-1) I get the following error during "make win32": In file included from chuck_errmsg.cpp:40:0: util_thread.h:77:17: error: ‘THREAD_FUNCTION’ has not been declared util_thread.h:90:5: error: ‘THREAD_HANDLE’ does not name a type util_thread.h: In member function ‘void XThread::clear()’: util_thread.h:87:20: error: ‘thread’ was not declared in this scope util_thread.h: At global scope: util_thread.h:111:5: error: ‘MUTEX’ does not name a type makefile:101: recipe for target `chuck_errmsg.o' failed make: *** [chuck_errmsg.o] Error 1 The stable release, however, builds in Win7 without errors. In addition, I can build both the stable release and the SVN source tree in OS X. Can't tell what's wrong. As far as I know I have all the necessary tools listed at http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/release/. Am I missing Cygwin packages?? Now, the substring method is just some 30 lines of code, but when I can build ChucK from the SVN source tree in both OS's I can contribute with my substring method; just want to see that it works with the latest code.

Hey Albert,

That method doesn't exist, and as you've seen, the overall documentation for ChucK is underdeveloped with regards to more recent additions to the language. Its recently become painfully obvious to me that a charAt-type method is pretty important for even basic string manipulation, so I was considering shoehorning it into the next release.

As far as list vs. forum, I follow chuck-users and chuck-dev pretty closely, and chuck-users is even sporadically lively, but I tend not to hit the forum unless directed to it by some other means (e.g. a post to this list).

Does ChucK have these?

I know there's upper() and lower() for case conversion, are these (perhaps even along with a complete specification on ChucK strings) documented somewhere?

I asked about this in the forum too, at http://electro-music.com/forum/topic-52680.html. Sorry about the cross-posting, but I'd also like to know if there's any activity here on chuck-dev, since there isn't much of that in the forum.
