I just found this in the [[ht://Dig]] source code:

#define encodeInput(name) (s = input->get(name), encodeURL(s), s.get())

I had no idea you could do that. A function defined as a macro, that actually returns something.

So will the following work?

int b; int a = (b = 3, b += 1, b + 1);

Didn’t know that C++ would let you do this sort of thing…

Update: I tried it and it works:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() { int a; int b = (a = 1, ++a, a++); printf(“a = %d, b = %d\n”, a, b); }

(It prints “a = 3, b = 2”).

Back on this again today. The search engine is looking reasonably stable on Linux. On FreeBSD it’s not cleaning up the child processes though, so there’s a bit of debugging to do before it’ll go properly there.

Follow the instructions to set one up for yourself, if you’d like to try - they work now (I think).

To do still:

• fix FreeBSD child process bug
• get display looking right (currently the templates don’t look very PyCS-ish)
