The acknowledgment would go something like this:

"Despite several attempts to engage the author of a PR that started out as a fix for the same problems but grew into a complete refactor of the system that handles the creation of shared pointers, he showed no interest in collaborating in the writing and testing of a simpler solution that just fix the bugs, even when told that there was tentative code based on his code with the unnecessary parts removed. As a result of the lack of interest all the code that was based in that pr was removed and a completely new version written from scratch was created as explained in a post made to the pr in question. The code presented here is the result of that personal effort"

A quote from my post informing you of the steps I took to write this pr:

Starting from master i added code to reference() that throws an error if the weak pointer is expired. that finds all the cases when shared pointers need to be created.
I have fixed all the cases related to the four examples above and all the code runs just as before except for maybe the json example where the reference use zeroes it out which occurs in your version as well. I need to investigate further on that.

My post to this PR was a polite statement of my feeling that my work was being used without credit.

Ok, lets see.

I have to admit to not being happy with the fact this code is based on my work without any attribution or acknowledgment. I spent a lot of time on it. Given it is a whittled down version of my work, a link to the source PR would seem reasonable and in the spirit of collaborative development.

The feeling that you had that your work was being used without credit was misplaced. As a result you posted statements that implied misconduct on my part. You had no justification to allege misconduct from me. That is not a polite thing to do.If you really had good intentions, you would have first asked about the code's origins before making any allegations.

You relpy rudely and with sarcasam.

And here you are again attributing my remarks without indicating exactly how I was rude or where the sarcasm lies. Based on what I said in this post my response was appropriate and to the point. I need to defend myself against false allegations and I need to present evidence to back up my defense. This could have been avoided if you wouldn't have jumped the gun and started making false allegations right off the bat. Even after that you are escalating the conflict instead of admitting that your allegations were false and apologizing for it. There are several comments posted in your pr that are also aimed at making me reply negatively as a way to start conflict. I ignore them for what they are and will continue to do so but false allegations cross a line. I have explained all my actions to you and you have claimed to understand and accept them. that should be the end of the contingency as further elevations cannot be justified.

Part of your problem is that you dont seem to read the post I made in order to understand why I say that the pr code is not based on your code. I did write code based on your and then i started from scratch again when I felt that you showed no interest in collaborating. I even quoted myself the exact sentence describing how I created the code.I will quote it again now. Please read it before saying any more false accusations that you have no right to make.

"Starting from master i added code to reference() that throws an error if the weak pointer is expired. that finds all the cases when shared pointers need to be created.
I have fixed all the cases related to the four examples above and all the code runs just as before except for maybe the json example where the reference use zeroes it out which occurs in your version as well. I need to investigate further on that."

Starting from master means that any previous modifications were deleted and that there was no code left that belonged to your pr. You can ignore me or the things I say. you cannot state false claims based on that though because you are falsely accusing me. You are not the victim. Read all the posts and try to understand what is in them instead of assuming you know what i going on.
Now you are saying that my conduct is questionable but in fact it is your conduct that needs to be put in chaeck as any objective assessment would clearly find.

I have found evidence of your false accusations.
Your code had changes all the ptrn::Pattern pointers from unique to shared but there are a couple in ast_node_bitfield_field.cpp and pl_builtin_types.cpp that this pr doesn't change which proves it comes directly from master and not from your pr.

OK. After this post I'm done with this.

Thats the typical cop out from those guilty that are afraid to face the music. It only makes you look worse.

By your own admission in the screenshots I attached, the code was based on mine with bits you deemed unnecessary removed. Any doubts about this can be quickly verified by anyone that cares to look by examining the histories of our respective PRs.

That was code that I used to attempt to bring you into the collaboration. when it became obvious that you woudn't I wanted to create a fix for the bugs in master so i started to work on master discarding all your code.

I put a lot of effort into it, and you know that, you were active in the comments in my PR.

The amount of effort you put is irrelevant when your code is not being used. I had to take your code, remove all the parts that werent needed then delete all of that and start all over again because you didn't want to collaborate. You are not the only person consuming time.

You look code that I wrote, put it your own PR and don’t bother acknowledging the time and effort I put in.

That is a blatant lie and you have no way to verify that it is true. Your code was deleted and I started from scratch. I posted a note indicating that in your pr which you are conveniently ignoring. I don't lie if I dont have to and if what you are implying was true I have no problem admitting it but it isn't and I have proven it. You continue to accuse me and disregard my evidence which indicates an agenda beyond the issue at hand. There is evidence that you are trying to make me look bad in posts made by you in your pr so unless you stop this it is only going to work against you in the long run.

When I point that out you argue.

I have the right to defend myself against false accusations and you can't take that away.

I see no point in arguing with you on this. If it isn’t obvious already that your conduct in this matter is questionable, to say the least, than I can’t image what I can say to make you do otherwise.

I am questioning your entire approach to this. The point in arguing is to give people a chance to explain why the accusations are false. You cannot ignore them without becoming unfair. My conduct is beyond reproach and yours is not. You accuse falsely and ignore evidence presented to you against your claims.
