roc-lang
Add example reverse
DRAFT
This is a draft. I cannot create a draft PR (don't know why).
It is intentionally based on an old version of trunk because with a newer version it does not work anymore.
Of course, removing the free call in the roc_std might not be the correct way to do this :laughing: but I am still learning and this solved my issue with the example. My question now would be: where is the issue in the example code that causes the double free I'm seeing (without the change to roc_std)?
Also: The produced output is not yet as expected. Don't know why.
Please do NOT merge
You just hit a bug with RocList.into_iter(). into_iter was causing the double free and the printout to potentially be printing freed memory. Also, it looks like fixing the bug makes this work with an updated trunk.
@matthiasbeyer Was the goal of this example more to showcase the args-taking platform, the reversing app, or the simple/useful functionality? Considering that today's primary example (example/cli-platform) takes args, if this example is still wanted then we should switch this app to use that platform instead and delete all new platform code from this PR.
@rtfeldman What do you think today about simple Linux-shell-esque examples like this one?
Huh, this was a long time ago. I think the idea here was mainly the args-taking part. The reversing is not that interesting after all.
That makes sense! Args are awesome. Since examples/cli-platform takes args, should we abandon this example?
