[Opensim-dev] Question about OSSL type conversion

[Stefan Andersson]

Since our LSL implementation (still) is based on substitution; and some things are harder to substitute than others, the 'OSSL way of doing it' would probably be to write
 
f = float.Parse(s);
instead
 
Of course, if any of the LSL implementors would want to toy around with it, substituting "(\s*float\s*)" with something like "(OSSLFloat)" and then implementing an OSSLFloat class as a float wrapper, with some implicit cast operators, would probably float the boat.
 
of course, the same thing goes for the othe numeric types as well. You might even want to create a generic numeric wrapper OSSLNumeric<T>.
 
Best,
/Stefan
