It could be argued that it makes some sense on mobile, since native
libraries on Android is messy at best.
That said, I intend to provide a built-in API to support various
Android-specific features. Some of those will probably be more useful than
shared variables, maybe.

Hi David,
my view regarding shared variables is that they are a creature of their
time, kind of Dinosaurs.
I have implemented them only for compatibility with IBM APL2 to ease
portability existing APL programs. You can have a look at *testcases/AP*.tc*
to see how to use them.
Shared variables a
That'd be great. Thanks.

Perhaps a prefix command. It already allows you to prefix with a plain C-u
to specify apl binary. It could also ask for extra arguments.

Something like that would be helpful, yes.
What did you have in mind? A variant of the gnu-apl function that
prompts for options?

Should I add an extra feature to allow you to configure extra options for a
given session?

That's true in my case.
Earlier this week I did make a first attempt to understand how SVs work.

Hi Elias,
thanks, I have put Unix sockets for shared variables onto my TODO list.
It is easier to first replace the UDP sockets with TCP sockets (reducing
the total number of sockets used) and then change the socket type.
I also doubt that anybody is using shared variables at all because I haven
Nice! I'll try it out on Android shortly.
On Android (and other platforms as well) there is the issue of security.
One does not want other applications to be able to randomly connect to the
server. May I suggest that you add the ability to use Unix domain sockets
instead? The code to do this is al
Hi,
as of SVN 345 I have changed the implementation of shared variables in
GNU APL.
So far shared variables used a shared memory (aka. /dev/shm/apl-svars)
for the coordination between the different APL interpreters and APs.
This has caused problems with environments that did not provide
