This subject was initially discussed in https://discourse.julialang.org/t/efficient-way-to-split-string-at-specific-index/83115/17 regarding a way to split a string into equal-length substrings.

The solutions discussed involved (for a string composed of 10 blocks of 8 strings)

• using a comprehension split8(str::String) = [str[i+1:8] for i in 0:8:length(str)]
• using a comprehension and `S

Whiskers' regex looks for <..> as opposed to tokenizing the input, so it is not able to detect truncated/mistyped input.

For example it can't detect that <!b is not terminated in<?b> X <!b Y </b>.

With some heuristics it could be improved: match for <?, <! and </ and only allow identifiers which are terminated with >, otherwise it is invalid.

This code is a bit bogus. If opt can be NULL, the declaration typecheck_t* t = &opt->check; could crash the compiler. In any case, it looks like the t declaration could be safely moved into the scope of the if-branch, where it is properly guarded against opt == NULL.

Motivation

The Git class currently doesn't support submodules which prevents for example using submodules in Quark repos.

Description of Proposed Feature

Add a submodule method to Git and add submodule recursion to the Quark install step, eg adding the --recurse-submodules git flag to the clone command. This will download an

The Github Actions release workflow has gone through a few changes. The nightly release workflow should be updated as well
