[fpc-pascal] Re: Dynamic array and dimensions

[ik]

Let me explain better my problem.

Originally the protocol states that the data that I should get is:

      1) "CONFIG"
      2) "SET"
      3) "slowlog-log-slower-than"
      4) "1"

Now I wrote a function that on linear time add each element to a dynamic
array,
so the parsing itself also will be linear, and simple, rather then a
complex one.

However, I found a command that return undocumented result of:

1) 1) (integer) 0
   2) (integer) 1328734844
   3) (integer) 14
   4) 1) "CONFIG"
      2) "SET"
      3) "slowlog-log-slower-than"
      4) "1"


The most left 1), is a list containing inside another list. The second list
have element of 4)  that contain additional list of another 4 elements.
I need to rewrite the original function to be able to store this
information. I must save the exact order of things, and also save the
hierarchy
that is displayed here.

I'm looking not only for an elegant solution (I can think on at least 3
ways), but also for an efficient way, and little as
possible in memory consumption (I don't have idea how to do that), and if I
can do it in O(n) or better, then it's perfect.

How would you recommend me to solve this ?

Thanks,
Ido
