Subject: [PATCH 00/18] Refactor character printing
Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2022 06:55:00 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220216135518.3162480-1-tom@tromey.com> (raw)
Right now, each language has to implement two character output methods
-- printchar and emitchar. Furthermore, the generic string printing
function does not use either of these methods, so language
implementors must choose between copying the string-printing code
(which is pretty big) to change the escaping style, or just always
using C style, no matter what the language in question actually does.
This patch simplifies this situation. emitchar is removed, and the
generic string- and character-printing code is augmented to let
languages override some of the printing choices. Then, all languages
are switched to the new scheme.
Regression tested on x86-64 Fedora 34.
Let me know what you think.
Tom
