I create a "wrapper" function around the make object! declaration to create an instance of the "class", then call this wrapper function explicitly when I want a new instance. This wrapper function does the initialization and such of a constructor. If you cared, you could also write a function for the destructor, and call it explicitly. Alas, these are not "true oo" constructors and destructors as they are not elements of the object, but they work. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 21, 2000 4:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [REBOL] constructor & destructor Since I've programmed sometime i C++ with classes (almost like objects in REBOL), I've missed some features in the objects in REBOL. What about constructors (a member function that is executed at object creation) and destructors (a member function that is executed at object deletion)? 1. Will it be added to REBOL? 2. How can it be made with current implementation of REBOL? Yours faithfully --- Martin Ancher Holm Work <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Home <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://wwww.dk>, Cell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
