bootstrapping

The source for clojure.core appears to assume the pre-existence of fn* . Where is this defined? What else is needed for bootstrap (over existing Java types)? How is it all put together? Maybe this has already been asked? I am having a hard time getting good search results for fn* . update: Changed "bootstrap itself" to "bootstrap" in title, because I didn't want to imply Clojure was self-hosting. in src/jvm/clojure/lang/Compiler.java 46 line: static final Symbol FN = Symbol.intern("fn*"); fn* implement by clojure compiler, as others special form, I guess. Update: in analyzeSeq method, 6452

I'm writing my first PHP app. Everyone talks about having a bootstrap.php to initialize your app. This makes sense and I've put together one that I'm happy with. There's two things I don't understand, and which no one seems to mention: Where do I call my boostrap from? Do I include it in every page? Please tell me there's a better way... How do I make it so my bootstrap is not called more often than needed? I assume it only needs to be called either at the start of the app or the start of a new session. 1: Generally the bootstrap is in the "application" directory. It is called from the "public

I'm beginning with Zend Framework and I would like to understand Bootstrap file. I've learned all _init methods are executed by default but it seems confusing to me. Anyway that is not what I would like to ask. A came around the $this->bootstrap('layout'); action and I'm not sure if I understand this. Is this the resource.layout variable in application.ini file? I would like to really understand the bootstrap process in deep. I'm asking you for step by step explanation. Thanks in advance! So this is my bootstrap file: class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap { protected

I am writing an application that needs to be installed on a large number of desktops and also needs to update itself. We are looking at WIX for creating the installation. I have used ClickOnce and it is not a good solution for this install. WIX seems to fit, but there is no good process for auto update that I have found. I have looked at ClickThrough , but it doesn't seem ready for prime time yet. Does anyone have another good solution to use with WIX (or maybe another install program) to auto update an application install? Yeah, ClickThrough really is what you're looking for here. There are

Possible Duplicates: implementing a compiler in “itself” Bootstrapping a language How can you write a compiler in the same language as the language you're writing that compiler for? Isn't that sort of recursive? Edit : This may be deleted, but otherwise... : How to bootstrap: Writing a compiler in its own language Bootstrapping a language Why to bootstrap: Bootstrapping a compiler: why? Generally the first version of the compiler is written in a different language, and then each subsequent version is written in that language and compiled with the older version. Once you've compiled version x

I'm trying to understand the concept of Chef clients and validators, and their relationship to the bootstrapping process. According to this article , the chef-client will use the /etc/chef/validation.pem private key to authenticate itself for the initial run, because /etc/chef/client.pem doesn't exist yet. This initial run will, somehow, produce that client.pem , which is then used for all subsequent client requests. My questions: What process places the /etc/chef/validation.pem file on the chef-client node in the first place? The bootstrap? Can someone provide an example of a knife command

This might be in vain, as I know writing an operating system is unbearably complicated (especially by oneself). I don't expect to build the next linux, or windows. I know it will be horrible, and buggy, and won't work, but that's fine. I want to write everything myself, in Assembly , C , and (some) C++ . This is a future project, as I'm busy with some other things at the moment and don't have the time immediately, but I figured I would ask it now, so maybe I could get lots of answers to this, and it could build up and be a useful resource for this kind of approach (everything else I have seen
