Howdy, I'm want to write some tree intensive functions and I noticed
that octave is strictly call by value. I figure this means I'll
have to do some absurd things to work on my trees if I choose to do
it directly in octave. The next thing that comes to mind is to use
a C program to handle all of the tree work. But I also need to save
the internal state of the C program to avoid passing a huge tree
structure back and fourth or parsing and re-parsing a file. My friends
tell me that I should use a socket for IPC, so the C program can keep
running. I plan on using a C++ wrapper .oct file thingy to forward
octave I/O to the socket, or I think I heard something about a socket
acting like a file (in which case I'd use regular file I/0 to send
octave generated requests to the C program). So anyway, I'm beginning
to wonder if I'm going around my ass to scratch my elbow. Has anyone
done something like this before or know the best way?
Thanks-a-million in advance!
