Hello,
Is there a (builtin, simple) way to output the content of an array or of a
record. Something like arrayToStr / recordToStr, that would return a normal
form similar to the literal notation used for intialisation? If no, is there a
way to write custom funcs for this purpose (meaning access at runtime to types
of items/fields). I constantly need such a feature.
writeln(recordTostr(aPosition)) // --> (x:1 ; y:2 ; z:3)
writeln(arrayTostr(someInts)) // --> (9, 8, 7)
(Additionally, once we have this, a "view" func could call the appropriate
*ToStr according to actual type, and a "show" procedure could use writeln on
the result of view... then I'm happy :-)
Side-question, upon the opposite point, just to be really sure: array & record
literal notations can only be used in declaration (var/const), meaning for
initialisation. But cannot be used to assign a var in a statement block.
Correct? If yes, what is the issue (for the parser/compiler/runtime)?
Denis
