We are still targeting an upload of FlatStream handlers for January. The last days were spent redesigning a few bas classes. In fact, all the knowledge about FlatStream was centralized into RichFlatInputStream and RichFlatOutputStream. The tests were getting complex and code difficult to debug, which is usually the symptom of bad design.
We came up with the idea of stream filters. Using those we were able with just a couple lines to implement quoted fields and end-of-line comment. We are now going to ajust the test suite to validate this. ... read more

The implementation of flat file handler is progressing slowly. We are now able to define fields either fix width or separated by delimiters. The format handles correctly string delimiters which may include field delimiters. In this case, the field delimiters will be ignore. We also make provision for in-line comment wich is a comment that start with a marker and finish at the end of the line (like // in C or Java or # in scripts).
There are still bugs but we expect to have a working version to share in January.

First of all, a little reminder about the way the project is planned. There are 12 prototype steps to create a simple application by hand: the library.

During these "prototype" steps, we will basically describe statically our application and code it by hand. At the end we will have a fully working application and its static description. We will starts from this to develop the tool that would have been required to convert static description into a working application. ... read more

The myg project has started. We are actually in preliminary analysis stage. The goal for the coming months is to formalize our view and provide a first alpha implementation to validate feasability.
