jungerl/zlib changes

[Gaspar Chilingarov]

Hi all!


I suggest the following changes to zlib module distributed in jungerl -

--cut--
Index: zlib.erl
===================================================================
RCS file: /cvsroot/jungerl/jungerl/lib/zlib/src/zlib.erl,v
retrieving revision 1.2
diff -c -r1.2 zlib.erl
*** zlib.erl    18 Feb 2004 11:35:29 -0000      1.2

   %% open a z_stream
   open() ->
!     ok = load(),
       open_port({spawn, zlib_drv}, [binary]).

   %% close and release z_stream
   close(Z) ->
!     port_close(Z).

   deflateInit(Z, Level) ->
       call(Z, ?DEFLATE_INIT, <<(arg_level(Level)):32>>).
--- 105,121 ----

   %% open a z_stream
   open() ->
! %    ok = load(), %% it is loaded automagically
       open_port({spawn, zlib_drv}, [binary]).

   %% close and release z_stream
   close(Z) ->
!     port_close(Z),
!       receive
!               { 'EXIT', Z, normal } -> ok
!       after 0 ->
!               ok
!       end.

   deflateInit(Z, Level) ->
       call(Z, ?DEFLATE_INIT, <<(arg_level(Level)):32>>).
--cut--

first of all - imho open_port automatically loads external driver,
and if I leave it load() call, it will fail for subsequent calls to
zlib:compress or zlib:uncompress - because module is already loaded.

seconds change - is to have receive command , which will cleanup port 
exit message from process queue, if such message exists.
