Sather iterators for Ruby
This Ruby gem is meant as a proof of concept for promoting the Ruby Change Request 335. The RCR was rejected but Sather iterators made it into Ruby 1.9 anyway :-)
The code itself is a single small module. The “proper” way to install it is as a gem. It is also available via rubygems.org.
Using it is pretty simple, just use si_loop
instead of loop
and prefix each
iterator method invocation with .si
. For example:
si_loop do
x = somearray.si.each
y = anotherarray.si.each
...
end
See the documentation for si.rb for details.
