Hi. I wonder does not stdout and stdin are always about text input/output? I never saw examples when somebody explicitly write raw bytes into these streams.
If I am right then it is better to introduce binaryStdout and binaryStdin messages. And make stdout and stdin use most common encoding by default. How it is done in Java? 2018-07-23 19:19 GMT+01:00 Alistair Grant <akgrant0...@gmail.com>: > Hi Pavel & Sven, > > Thanks for writing this, it is a great quick reference. > > > On Mon, 23 Jul 2018 at 12:08, Sven Van Caekenberghe <s...@stfx.eu> wrote: > > > > > > > > > On 23 Jul 2018, at 11:13, Ben Coman <b...@openinworld.com> wrote: > > > > > > I like all the new code examples until "Write a UTF-8 text to STDOUT" > > > and I wonder "Stdio stdout writeStreamDo: [ :stream | stream > > > nextPutAll: 'a ≠ b' ]" would better fit the pattern of the other new > > > code. > > > (presuming "Stdio stdout" returns a FileReference, oherwise maybe > > > "Stdio stdoutRef" or "Stdio stdout asFileReference") > > > > Stdio stdout and friends just return a binary stream, hence they need > wrapping for encoding. > > > > Maybe > > > > Stdio stdoutAsText > > > > might be an idea, but this is so uncommon that I am not sure this is a > good idea. > > I've written this code enough times that I'd like to see it included. :-) > > Maybe > > Stdout utf8Stdout > > (following the pattern of ByteArray>>utf8Decoded, String>>utf8Encoded) > > ? > > Thanks again, > Alistair > >
