Hi, I have been working on a dynamic PMC that calls into 'gdbm'. 'gdbm' is a file based database, that provides dictionary lookup. There are no fancy features yet. INVAL, FLOATVAL, PMC and STRINGS are converted to char arrays and are written to the database file. The conversions are not unlike for the FixedPMCArray PMC. The keys are also converted to strings, just like in the Hash and PerlHash PMC. Fetched values are either STRINGs or String PMCs. The availability of 'libgdbm.so' is checked during the Parrot configuration, which is not nice. TODO: - support for iteration - support for Data/Dumper - Grab test suite from Perl5 sources - Bindings for Berkeley DB - Put support for file databases into a nice library ??? - Tieable Hashes ???
