This sounds like mixing the features from:
- http://docs.factorcode.org/content/article-embedding.html which
initializes everything, but then requires the compiler to use a string ->
factor eval -> string call.
- http://docs.factorcode.org/content/article-alien-callback.html which
allows to directly call into factor code with C function calls.
But looking at callbacks.hpp in vm/, it says that callbacks are
"
The callback heap is not saved in the image. Running GC in a new session
after
saving the image will deallocate any code heap entries that were only
reachable
from the callback heap in the previous session when the image was saved.
"
So I'm not sure if that means you need the compiler to recompile the
callbacks each time factor is started ?
