CMP: Should Proton be pass-by-reference or pass-by-value, and should there be an option to specify the other type when calling a function?

Mithrandir

@cairdcoinheringaahing yes chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/240?m=743698#743698

@HyperNeutrino Pass-by-bucket-brigade. The variable is stored in an intermediate object and both sides need to independently call .Get() and .Set() methods on it.

@Mithrandir That conversation lead to me finding this gem of a comment:

Pass by Voodoo, Variables aren't referenced, but mystically effect their origin.

HyperNeutrino

what?

AdmBorkBork

The called function randomly chooses some value of memory and hopes it's the correct variable.

HyperNeutrino

Pass by superposition: if the function modifies the variable, the true value is now in a superposition.

Inversely pass by reference: Returned value is referenced to the internal function one.

Anonymous

@Poke Yeah, it's unpleasant, but effective

HyperNeutrino

@ATaco uh what ._.

so return by reference

caird coinheringaahing

Pass by function: You call a value with a reference to the function

HyperNeutrino

wtf that doesn't make a difference though because after the function returns, the value of the identifier within its scope is no longer valuable / dies

And what about assignment? So a = 1; b = a; b = 2; print(a) should print 1 still right?

Anonymous

@HyperNeutrino Pass by whatever, because you'll probably change your mind in the future anyway :P

HyperNeutrino

but a = 1; (b => b = 2)(a); print(a) would print 2?

@Mego sigh that's true... :P

caird coinheringaahing

@Mego Maybe it wasn't intended as star bait, but it is still a message guaranteed to be starred multiple times

AdmBorkBork

@HyperNeutrino That should print 1, yes, but that's based on how I understand variable constructors. I feel uncomfortable with having two names for the same thing.

@muddyfish Not directly. If a mod team reaches out to SE and asks them, and a majority of them vote for it after discussion in a private chat room, SE will remove the mod.
