S-expressions. In addition to that it contains an extremely useful
preprocessing module for Camlp4, which can be used to automatically generate
code from type definitions for efficiently converting OCaml-values to
S-expressions and vice versa. In combination with the parsing and
pretty-printing functionality this frees the user from having to write his own
I/O-routines for datastructures he defines. Possible errors during automatic
conversions from S-expressions to OCaml-values are reported in a very
human-readable way. Another module in the library allows you to extract and
replace sub-expressions in S-expressions.

This is mostly to fill in some gaps in the standard and unix
libraries, either for completeness or because they're things I find
myself needing a lot of the time, and a few modules that aren't worthy
of being their own releases. Enjoy. Most of this used to be part of an
old library (stew) that I broke up into a couple of smaller ones. This
one /was/ extlib, now annexlib. Its companion is mathlib.
See supplied documentation for additional info.

interface based on the following schema:
Caml/C interface JNI (Java Native Interface)
Caml <------------------> C <-----------------------------> Java
Currently, CamlJava provides a low-level, weakly-typed OCaml interface
very similar to the JNI. Java object references are mapped to an
abstract type, and various JNI-like operations are provided to allow
Java method invocation, field access, and more. A basic callback
facility (allowing Java code to invoke methods on Caml objects) is
also provided, although some stub Java code must be written by hand.
In the future, a higher-level, strongly-typed interface will be
provided, whereas Java classes are mapped directly to Caml classes.
This raises fairly delicate type mapping issues, though, so don't hold
your breath.

This commit should largele be a NOOP as it only adds support
for DESTDIR undefined. This does allow us to start testing
ports with DESTDIR set, but this is as of yet not supported.
Although this has been extensively tested on pointyhat, this
is a very intrusive change and some cases may have been
overlooked. Please contact Gabor and me if you find any.

description:
TRE is a lightweight, robust, and efficient POSIX compliant regexp
matching library supporting:
- approximate (fuzzy) matching,
- strict standards conformance,
- predicable and modest memory consumption,
- wide-character and multibyte character support,
- binary pattern and data support,
- thread-safe implementation.
At the core of TRE is a new algorithm for regular expression matching
with submatch addressing. The algorithm uses linear worst-case time
in the length of the text being searched, and quadratic worst-case
time in the length of the used regular expression.
implements a genetic algorithm to find the "best" options for
compiling programs with the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) C and C++
compilers. "Best", in this context, is defined as those options
that produce the fastest executable program from a given source
code. Acovea is a C++ framework that can be extended to test other
programming languages and non-GCC compilers.

The Readonly module (q.v.) is an effective way to create non-modifiable
variables. However, it's relatively slow.
The reason it's slow is that is implements the read-only-ness of variables
via tied objects. This mechanism is inherently slow. Perl simply has to do
a lot of work under the hood to make tied variables work.
This module corrects the speed problem, at least with respect to scalar
variables. When Readonly::XS is installed, Readonly uses it to access the
internals of scalar variables. Instead of creating a scalar variable object
and tying it, Readonly simply flips the SvREADONLY bit in the scalar's
FLAGS structure.
Readonly arrays and hashes are not sped up by this, since the SvREADONLY
flag only works for scalars. Arrays and hashes always use the tie interface.
Why implement this as a separate module? Because not everyone can use XS.
Not everyone has a C compiler. Also, installations with a statically-linked
perl may not want to recompile their perl binary just for this module.
Rather than render Readonly.pm useless for these people, the XS portion was
put into a separate module.

Key features of Coyotl include:
-- A polymorphic collection of the best psuedorandom number generators,
including the Mersenne Twister and Marsaglia's favorites.
-- Utilities for floating-point numbers, including additional functions
for trigonometry, least common multiple, greatest common denominator,
rounding, and other purposes.
-- A simple cross-platform command-line parser.
-- A framework for generating random rectangular mazes.
-- A template for fixed-point math based on different integer sizes
and decimal point locations.
-- Templatized sorting utilities (designed before Std. C++'s <algorithms>,
but still useful)
-- Validation tools for "Design by Contract" programming.

Why should one use a module to get the PID and the PPID of a process
where there are the $$ variable and the getppid() builtin? (Not
mentioning the equivalent POSIX::getpid() and POSIX::getppid()
functions.)
In fact, this is useful on Linux, with multithreaded programs. Linux'
C library, using the linux thread model, returns different values of
the PID and the PPID from different threads. (Other thread models such
as NPTL don't have the same behaviour). This module forces perl to
call the underlying C functions getpid() and getppid().
