I was talking about things like that:
JASS:
library LinearProbingHashTable
//! textmacro LinearIntHash takes NAME, TYPE, SIZE, NULL
scope $NAME$
globals
private boolean array used
private integer array keys
private $TYPE$ array values
private boolean warnings = true
endglobals
private function find takes integer key returns integer
local integer i = 1+key-(key/$SIZE$)*$SIZE$
local integer k = i
loop
if not used[k] then
return -k
elseif keys[k] == key then
return k
endif
set k = k + 1
if k > $SIZE$ then
set k = 1
endif
call CondDebugMsg(i==k, "Hashtable: $NAME$ full!")
endloop
return 0
endfunction
public function get takes integer key returns $TYPE$
local integer i = find(key)
debug if i < 0 and not warnings then
debug return $NULL$
debug endif
if i < 0 then
debug call DebugMsg("Hashtable: $NAME$ Error key "+I2S(key)+" not found")
return $NULL$
endif
return values[i]
endfunction
public function put takes integer key, $TYPE$ value returns nothing
local integer i = find(key)
if i > 0 then
set values[i]=value
else
set i = -i
set used[i] = true
set keys[i] = key
set values[i] = value
endif
endfunction
public function disablewarnings takes nothing returns nothing
set warnings = false
endfunction
endscope
//! endtextmacro
endlibrary
(Ok its old and not really good ^^; just for example)
Of cause it would be possible to put all this as static members and static methods into a struct. But in my opinion that would be ugly and stupid (like java).
The only problem for this is, that it can be accessed from everywhere. Here would a new new access modifier be useful.
Or if I have a huge library (in size of caster system) i could put some stuff into nested scopes to avoid name conflicts and bring more structure to it. (Yes here we can use the ugly and stupid thing with putting it all as static stuff in a struct again)
edit: the highlighter doesn't seams to highlight "not"
