Description Frank Ch. Eigler 2005-07-21 18:16:49 UTC 
- a structured way of dumping to scalars or entire arrays
- sending formatting instructions to good old _stp_print or friends
Comment 1 Frank Ch. Eigler 2005-11-24 20:27:34 UTC 
The tapset/logging.stp's print() script function is made redundant by this work,
right?

Yes. A function named print, printf, sprintf, or sprint will now be ignored, as
such terms are considered print_format nodes. Perhaps I ought to add an error
check in the elaboration phase to make sure no such functions were defined.
Comment 3 Graydon Hoare 2005-12-07 23:26:34 UTC 
this feature is now present in the translator.
Comment 4 Frank Ch. Eigler 2005-12-07 23:41:35 UTC 
Just to be clear, the new code lacks printing of entire arrays in a single hop,
but pending the outcome of the MAXACTION discussion, that may be just as well.
