[Ironruby-core] SVN Revision 73

[Peter Bacon Darwin]

Great stuff.  Things are starting to come together.  I appreciate that lots
of work is going on behind the scenes in the DLR but it is also good to see
bits of Ruby specific stuff getting sorted.

Just a quick note.  I appreciate that there is a TODO note in the
Ruby.Compiler.Token.SetBigInteger(int sign, uint[]/*!*/ data) method but
there is a bit of a problem here.  The method does not take into account the
base in which the number was written. E.g.

 

>>> 9999987654321.to_s

=>
"394020062147424681466075733027822041608996069303164925748546377975890558078
60137311331770134300566582203266107441161"

 

The method currently just maps whatever digits were passed to the parser
straight into the BigInteger's internal data structure.

I updated SVN to include Peter's numeric and Terence's socket patches.
Please let me know if I missed any of your changes.

 

Changes include:

 

* Many improvements to numeric classes (Bignum, Fixnum, Float, Integer,
Precision, Numeric)

* More functionality in the socket library

* Removed bool to int implicit conversion

* Parser startup improvements, some tokenizer refactoring

* Various DLR improvements (hosting work, AST improvements, and more)

* Improved exception formatting (getting closer to MRI)
