Hi, I am trying to define some syntax words that should have effect on
a global (or dynamic) variable. What I am trying to achieve is
something similar to how the LIBRARY: word affects later occurrences
of FUNCTION:
The problem is, it does not seem to work. The simplest example I can
make is up the following.
In package foo
USING: kernel lexer namespaces ;
IN: foo
SYMBOL: foo
SYNTAX: FOO: scan-token foo set ;
Then in package bar
USING: namespaces foo prettyprint ;
IN: bar
FOO: hello
foo get .
This executes the top level form `foo get .` but prints f instead of
"hello". The same happens if I use run-file directly. If, instead, I
make the same declaration
FOO: hello
in the listener, I can check that foo is modified.
Is there a way to make this work? I could also avoi the variable, but
while parsing I do not have access to the stack, and so I do not know
how to pass any information among parsing words.
