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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
