  • Final SRFI 185: Linear adjustable-length strings

    From Arthur A. Gleckler@21:1/5 to All on Sun Apr 26 15:26:21 2020
    Scheme Request for Implementation 185,
    "Linear adjustable-length strings,"
    by John Cowan,
    has gone into "final" status.

    The document and an archive of the discussion are available at <https://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-185/>.

    Here's the abstract:

    Scheme specifies mutable fixed-length strings. SRFI 118 adds two
    procedures, string-append! and string-replace!, which allow the
    length of the string to change. This SRFI provides two linear-update
    versions of these procedures: that is, the implementation may change
    the string length or return a new string instead. In addition, two
    convenience macros are provided that make the procedures somewhat
    easier to use.

    Here is the commit summary since the most recent draft:

    - string-append-linear! accepts chars
    - editorial fixes
    - Make small change from John Cowan.
    - macro consistent with procedure
    - Clarify.
    - Add favicon.
    - Fix errors reported by W3C HTML Validator.
    - Finalize SRFI 185.
    - Punctuate.

    Here are the diffs since the most recent draft:

    Many thanks to John and to everyone who contributed to the discussion of this SRFI.

    Regards,
