06:07:14 <docl> crc: I'm confused by the behavior of clone. Stack diagram indicates that it takes an address, but what it does with that is call allot... maybe it is supposed to grab the size of the struct from that first instead?
06:49:18 <docl> https://gist.github.com/1033126
06:58:10 <crc> that definition is buggy
06:59:27 <docl> I took out the curry. not sure if that broke it.
07:00:15 <crc> (my dfinition of 'clone', to clarify)
07:00:55 <docl> ah yes, thought that might be the case
07:03:18 <docl> hmm, the order of ` @ .data looks backwards
07:04:24 <docl> fixed
07:10:45 <crc> I fixed mine: https://gist.github.com/1033126#comments
07:11:11 <crc> yours isn't quite right yet: look at 'here' before and after a clone
07:11:29 <crc> err, after an allocation, not a clone
07:17:49 <crc> hmm, mine is still not working right either
07:22:01 <docl> ok, apparently the @ was unneeded
07:31:22 <crc> I refreshed mine as well (still using curry)
07:36:26 <crc> the curry version will have slightly higher overhead at runtime, but saves a bit of space when creating each struct (since the common code is in a shared quote)
07:41:29 <docl> ah, that makes sense
07:47:06 * docl ponders a version of "fields" similar to "elements" but with varying sizes possible by distinguishing numeric values. example: { .id .initials 3 .jobcode } employee
07:49:09 <docl> alternately something like: 3 fields .id .initials 3 .jobcode
07:50:03 <docl> when it sees "3" it would know to increment the offset and allotment by 3
07:52:55 <docl> perhaps a tweak to create that allows it to recognize numbers and execute a quote if something is numeric

08:22:59 <crc> docl: something like this:
08:23:00 <crc> {{
08:23:00 <crc>   : new   ( nn$- )  over header ]] .data ` + ` ; + ;
08:23:00 <crc> ---reveal---
08:23:00 <crc>   : fields ( n"-  )
08:23:01 <crc>     [ getToken dup isNumber? [ toNumber getToken new ] [ 1 swap new ] if ] times ;
08:23:03 <crc> }}
08:23:08 <crc> {
08:23:14 <crc> 3 fields .a .b 5 .c
08:23:17 <crc> } foo
08:23:35 <crc> defaults to size 1 cell, unless override is specified

08:51:02 <docl> cool, works
09:02:14 <crc> I updated https://gist.github.com/1032096 and pushed the fields word to the repo
09:08:12 <docl> very nice!
09:10:04 <crc> the modified hash generator is better I think. 
09:19:39 <docl> interesting

22:36:15 <Raystm2> Hey docl! how have you been?
22:36:42 <Raystm2> what have you been working on, lately?
23:14:54 <Raystm2> G'night.
