Why Microsoft cozied up to open source at OSCON

08-04-2008 11:00 AM
Last month at O'Reilly's Open Source Convention (OSCON), it seemed like Microsoft was everywhere you looked, avouching its interest in open source. Thanks to the company's history -- including some very recent history -- a great many in the open source community viewed the company's presence with mistrust, suspicious of Redmond's motives and apprehensive of what would follow. Surely Microsoft must want something, so what is it?

TAP::Parser::Source(3pm)				 Perl Programmers Reference Guide				  TAP::Parser::Source(3pm)

NAME
TAP::Parser::Source - Stream output from some source VERSION
Version 3.17 SYNOPSIS
use TAP::Parser::Source; my $source = TAP::Parser::Source->new; my $stream = $source->source(['/usr/bin/ruby', 'mytest.rb'])->get_stream; DESCRIPTION
Takes a command and hopefully returns a stream from it. METHODS
Class Methods "new" my $source = TAP::Parser::Source->new; Returns a new "TAP::Parser::Source" object. Instance Methods "source" my $source = $source->source; $source->source(['./some_prog some_test_file']); # or $source->source(['/usr/bin/ruby', 't/ruby_test.rb']); Getter/setter for the source. The source should generally consist of an array reference of strings which, when executed via &IPC::Open3::open3, should return a filehandle which returns successive rows of TAP. "croaks" if it doesn't get an arrayref. "get_stream" my $stream = $source->get_stream; Returns a TAP::Parser::Iterator stream of the output generated by executing "source". "croak"s if there was no command found. Must be passed an object that implements a "make_iterator" method. Typically this is a TAP::Parser instance. "merge" my $merge = $source->merge; Sets or returns the flag that dictates whether STDOUT and STDERR are merged. SUBCLASSING
Please see "SUBCLASSING" in TAP::Parser for a subclassing overview. Example package MyRubySource; use strict; use vars '@ISA'; use Carp qw( croak ); use TAP::Parser::Source; @ISA = qw( TAP::Parser::Source ); # expect $source->(['mytest.rb', 'cmdline', 'args']); sub source { my ($self, $args) = @_; my ($rb_file) = @$args; croak("error: Ruby file '$rb_file' not found!") unless (-f $rb_file); return $self->SUPER::source(['/usr/bin/ruby', @$args]); } SEE ALSO
