Let me start out with a few "design goals":
1) there is work that Find must perform in order to do what
it does (such as doing a 'stat' on every filename to find
out if that file is a directory). Let us take the maximum
advantage of whatever work Find has to be doing anyway.
2) One of the parameters to Find is a code-block, which (of
course) can do any kind of arbitrarily complicated amount
of work. We should not add parameters to Find for it to
do "extra work" (any work besides the work it *has* to do),
when it is so much more flexible for that "extra work" to
be done in the code-block.
3) There is some work which Find does not have to do, but which
is much much easier for Find to do than for the code-block
to do. The main thing that comes to mind here is altering
the order in which filenames are processed.
4) Something I am not sure of... does the current Find have
any problems with recursive Find calls? For instance, is
there any interaction between the two Finds in:
Find.find(".") do |outerName|
statinfo = File.lstat(aname)
if statinfo.directory?
Find.find("/other/dir") do |innerName|
if xyzzy(outerName, innerName)
# Does this Prune effect the outer Find?
# if not, how *can* the inner code-block
# trigger a prune of the outer code-block?
Find.prune
end
end
end
end
So, I think I want something like:
Find.findx(sort=File::NO_SORT,
parent_first=true,
breadth_first=false,
*srcdirs ) { |aFileName, aFindStat| block }
I used "Find.findx" in case this new API is too radical a change
from the current Find.find. "findx" is meant to indicate
"find - extended".
Other values for sort= would be File::DIR_FIRST File::DIR_LAST and
perhaps File::ALPHABETIC
Probably the most noteworthy change is adding the 'aFindStat'
parameter to the code-block. This would allow the code block to
find out (and set?) various values that are known by the Find
processing. For instance:
aFindStat.depth --> current "depth" of the search from the
"srcdir" which is currently being processed. This would
let the code-block implement "max_depth" or "min_depth"
processing if it wanted to. I think it's reasonable for
Find to keep track of this value, because I expect it
must be easier for Find to keep track of the level than
it would be for the code-block to determine it based on
the value of aFileName. (particularly when Find is given
multiple source-dirs, such as "." and "/mnt/home/gad").
aFindStat.fileStat --> in many of my Find's (in either ruby
or perl), the first thing I do is a stat() call on the
value of aFileName. This just duplicates the stat() call
that File procesing itself had to do, so why not give the
code-block the file-status info that Find already has?
[ Note: this would be FileStat from an lstat() call, so
the code-block can tell if aFileName is a symlink]
aFindStat.sourceDir --> the source directory which Find is
currently processing. This might be useful when Find
was called with multiple srcdirs.
aFindStat.parentDir --> the parent directory for aFileName.
I am not sure how often this would be useful, but I
assume that Find processing does already have that value
so it might as well be available to the code-block. I
assume this value would be relative to the sourceDir
which Find is currently processing, and not necessarily
an absolute directory name.
aFindStat.basename --> This is another value that the
code-block could figure out easily enough, but I suggest
the option only because I assume that the Find processing
probably has the value anyway.
These two values may save the code-block from having to
care about what the separator character is on different
OS platforms ("/" vs "\" vs ":").
And two values which could be set by the code-block:
aFindStat.prune --> alternate to Find.prune, but it's clearer
which "find" would be altered. This is always initialized
to "false" before calling the code-block, and the code-block
could change it to "true".
aFindStat.followlink -> if the current aFileName is a symlink,
and if that symlink also points to a directory, then Find
processing should treat the symlink as if *it* were a
directory, and descend into the directory pointed to by
the symlink. This is always initialized to "false" before
calling the code-block, and the code-block could change
it to "true" to modify the behavior of find.
There are a few details of how this should work that
I have not decided on yet... In particular, should Find
repeat the call to the code-block, but this time send
in aFileStat which matches the directory being pointed to?
I think we would want something like that, particularly
when thinking how this would interact with the sort=
option on the call to Find.
This would allow the code block to implement
"follow_symlinks", but also with some finer-grain
control. Such as "follow any symlinks which point
outside of the current sourceDir".
I believe that with this API, the combination of Find.xfind and
the user's code-block will be able to implement anything and
everything that are implemented by the standard Unix 'find'
commands, and without too much clutter in the calling sequence.
I do not know if this is consistent with other standard ruby
classes, but I think it's good enough to provide ideas which
are useful (although perhaps in some other form).
