I guess I just think that when discussing perl6_parse, it's less effort to mention the existence of make_memory_stream and close_stream than it is to explain the meaning of three mystery parameters. Especially if that knowledge can be reused for half a dozen other API calls. perl6_Scalar* perl6_eval_scalar(PerlInterp*,PerlIO*); perl6_List* perl6_eval_list(PerlInterp*,PerlIO*); int perl6_load_module(PerlInterp*, PerlIO*); // Checks magic number for .pm vs .pmc, BOM, gzip...Thread Previous | Thread Next
