Hi to all! While writing my little factor programs, I often find a situation in which I have an object, I test it and if test is ok then some action is performed on it, else it is simply dropped.
Ex.: (obj on top of stack) dup test-condition [ do something with obj ] [ drop ] if I think this would be better expressed this way: (always with obj on top of stack) [ do-test ] [ do-action-on-obj ] when-drop To achieve this, I wrote this word: : when-drop ( obj question-quot: ( obj -- ? ) true-quot: ( obj -- ) -- ) -rot dupd call swapd [ call ] [ 2drop ] if ; inline But documentation claims that swapd and dupd are deprecated, and suggest to use lexical variables. So I rewrote this way: :: when-drop ( obj question-quot: ( ..obj -- ? ) true-quot: ( ..obj -- ) -- ) obj dup question-quot call [ true-quot call ] [ drop ] if ; inline Is this useless/redundant or do you think this can be interesting? thank you all, michele pes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable. Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense.
