Hi,
First off I know that in almost all cases this would be a terrible thing to
do, but this is an unusual case where this makes sense.
Basically I have a procedure where you pass a string containting a template
for a tuple, the function then finds a tuple that matches this template and
then returns it. The template may contain variable names, which match
against anything in that position in the tuple - this is all working fine,
except that I would like a variable to be created in the caller's scope by
the matching function.
I can retrieve the scope of the calling function using
sys._getframe(1 ).f_locals however whenever I try to modify it the changes
are made but the variable doesn't match to the new variable in the scope. I
tried creating a variable of the same name before calling the matching
function, but when the matching function returns the changes to the scope
for that variable are discarded.
Can anyone suggest how to make this work?

Pass in a mutable or use return. The obvious intent is to use this in the
calling routine, and you're asking how to change the called routine, so
you've got access to both.

No surprise here. From the manual:
"The contents of this dictionary should not be modified; changes may not
affect the values of local variables used by the interpreter. "

function, but when the matching function returns the changes to the scope
for that variable are discarded.

If both routines are within the same global module scope, you could use
global. If not, you could hang shared variables on a mutually imported
module.

I would like to be able to write a function f, which will live in a module M,
and will call a function g, such that, when f is imported from M into the
interpreter, and invoked there, its invokation of g will return the
interpreter's global namespace. Is there a way to do this and, if so, how?
Muchas gracias for any and all assistance.
Peace

I i need a decorator that adds a local variable in the function it
decorates, probably related with nested scopes, for example:

if not obj : obj = Obj()

return func()
return wrapper()

The primary problem I've had with php is the lack of namespaces, which
makes OOP very difficult to organize, since you end up with large number
of classes cluttering up the same namespace - which leads to a secondary
problem involving php's __autoload feature. Since you cannot specify a
namespace when calling a class that may not have been included, you are
forced to store all of your classes in the same folder in your file
system. This...

Is it best to include the code "using namespace std;" in the source or
should each keyword in the std namespace be qualified by the namespace tag,
such as
std::cout << "using std namespace" << std::endl;
Myself I am not sure which I prefer, it is certainly easier to specify that
the std namespace is being used instead of tagging each member of the
namespace?

Back in the day, if you wanted a function to be self-contained within a
translation unit, you defined the function as "static".
If there were an external linkage function by the same name residing in a
different translation unit, then the current translation unit was simply
oblivious to it and had no way of accessing it. Any time the function
name was mentioned in the current translation unit, it referred to the
"static" one which...

Hi everyone,
AFAIK external linkage allows you to refer to variables/functions
outside of the current translation unit. A variable in an unnamed
namespace is similar to declaring a static variable, but according to
the standard there is a difference:
"While this is essentially true in practical effect, there are subtle
differences. Using static as shown here causes "i" to have internal

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
