Great explanation. Thanks R -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [eiffel-users] a non-error From: "'Alexander Kogtenkov' via Eiffel Users" Date: Thu, September 19, 2019 6:04 am To: eiffel...@googlegroups.com Indeed, the equality test looks strange. However,

Alexander’s explanation was masterly! And (thanks, Eric) there is no tax on parentheses... Let me add that the underlying issues were discussed at great length in the Ecma committee. The general heuristic s that emerged is that in general it should be permitted (technical term: valid) to ask a

In fact you should feel lucky to get a warning. In that case: if some_condition = some_other_condition = some_other_condition then where `some_condition` and `some_other_condition` are BOOLEANs, there would be no warning because `some_condition = some_other_condition` is also a BOOLEAN.

Indeed, the equality test looks strange. However, it is correct: the equality would give False at run-time. The first part "rb = single_rb" would produce either True or False. Then, this value would be compared with the right-hand side of the second part - "single_rb". This would produce "False"

Just a short feedback: works nicely after one gets the hang on the configuration ;)

Hi All I noticed some odd behavior in a little app with which I was screwing around and when I went looking for the cause, I found something quite unsettling. The following code (and a few of its siblings) compiled (though a warning, not nearly stern enough, was generated - a non-compatible

I am interested taking a peek behind the curtains of the Eiffel.org implementation. I located the CMS in the distribution and compiled the DEMO website in local mode. I can nicely start and connect to the CMS demo server. But I get stuck with the initial page, asking me to sign-in. Any help

Thanks, I had that documentation but totally missed the admin account specs line. Back in Business in the admin account on the local server now. Regards . Richard On Tuesday, September 17, 2019 at 2:30:03 PM UTC+2, jocelyn.fiat wrote: > > Hi, > > This readme may help > > - > https://svn.eiffel.

Hi, This readme may help - https://svn.eiffel.com/eiffelstudio/trunk/Src/unstable/library/web/cms/doc/readme.md By default, the account is "admin" and "istrator#" for the password. -- Jocelyn Le mardi 17 septembre 2019 14:18:34 UTC+2, Richard a écrit : > > I am interested taking a peek behind

I guess you are addressing this question to me? I haven't tried CMake, but it's possible to make install-able packages using a combination of these three things 1. The Eiffel-Loop package-build system (just a directory structure) 2. The Eiffel-Loop cross-platform self-installing exe system

Thanks for your steady help, Alexander. Best, Karsten

Build is not particularly a problem as far as I can tell. Eiffel is simple in that respect. More a hook to a version management system such as Git. -- BM -----Original Message----- From: eiffel...@googlegroups.com [mailto:eiffel...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Saša Janiška Sent: Sunday,

Dear Karsten, The current ECMA standard is quite old. Since its publication several language constructs were changed or added. Conditional expressions is one of them. The official ECMA standard does not include the corresponding specification. However, to my knowledge, all contemporary Eiffel

Dear Alexander, does your conditional assignment example below conform to the ECMA standard? Result := if n.valid_index (i) then n [i] else "invalid" end Thanks, Karsten

It might be more reliable to develop under Windows on a docker Linux image. So many pitfalls in cross compilation. On Mon, Sep 16, 2019 at 3:58 AM Richard wrote: > I am playing with the idea of using Eiffel to implement "stuff" on a web > hosting account of mine. The

I did this about 5 years ago to compile at a Rasperry PI . It worked well. Den sön 15 sep. 2019 17:58Richard skrev: > I am playing with the idea of using Eiffel to implement "stuff" on a web > hosting account of mine. The provider tolerates some development work. >

I am playing with the idea of using Eiffel to implement "stuff" on a web hosting account of mine. The provider tolerates some development work. EiffelStudio will not be available, eg ec compile only in command line mode. I would like to limit the computational resources used in that environment,

Not about Gmane - but if you are using a mail client on your PC and it supports news feeds, this is the link to use: https://groups.google.com/forum/feed/eiffel-users/msgs/atom.xml?num=25 Richard On Sunday, September 15, 2019 at 11:03:21 AM UTC+2, Saša Janiška wrote: > > Hello, > > I applied to

Hello, I applied to join eiffel-users and can post directly to the list, but majority of mailing lists which I follow I do via Gmane. Some do require being subscribed to the list, some do not... I've replied to Gmane's auth. message, but my posts do not go through although my 1st post did

BTW, I don't remember if one of your questions was about learning Eiffel or getting more details about the language, etc. If that is the case, www.eiffel.org has some good information, including a tutorial that goes into quite a bit of details. This is under the Eiffel header. On Sat, Sep 14,

Thanks for that Alexander! I didn't realise there was a syntax option to directly assign the if expression. Very clean in this case. On Sat, Sep 14, 2019 at 8:19 PM 'Alexander Kogtenkov' via Eiffel Users < eiffel...@googlegroups.com> wrote: > An "idiomatic" way to write > > n.lower <= i and
