Good idea.

Then one can subclass from it and override just the printing functions. As a side note, I am working on an EBNF parser generator, it might be usful for reading data dumps (http://parrot.jensbeimsurfen.de/library/EBNF/). > > Printing some more information for ParrotIO, ParrotClass, ParrotObject, > > OrderedHash, ManagedStruct and UnManagedStruct is also on my TODO list. > > I have no idea how to dump the last three types, can anyone give me a > > hint? > > I have been looking into the dumping of OrderedHash. > However I got confused with the different get_- and next- methods. > I think the basic problem was that accessing a PerlArray with a PMC as a > key didn't work. Even when the PMC was a PerlInt. This has been corrected if i remember correctly. A possible workaround is of course to use an integer register, but being able to use a PMC as key is indeed nicer. Where can I find the methods? > CU, Bernhard jens
