Hi, I have several questions regarding lexicals.
There is a discrepancy between parrot_assembly.pod and core.ops parrot_assembly.pod says that find_lex will return a pointer, where as core.ops uses find_lex to retrive a value and store_lex to set this value. Which of this is correct? parrot_assembly mentions a fetch_lex_p_i_i but there is no implementation yet. This functions would be very handy when you know at compile time whats in the lexical scope. Is this left-out intentional or just because nobody has yet implemented it. In the later case, is somebody already working on this? How are the integers of the lexicals in the pad assigned? I assume they get increasing numbers for each store_lex, starting at 0 for a new pad. Correct? How do I store to a lexical by number? Shouldn't be there also a store_lex_i_i_p (or set_lex to indicate that it is a change of an already existing binding). Is there a possibility to get a pointer to the current pad, to store it in the closure? (Im not sure, maybe only the top-pad is needed). There need also be a way to reinstate the saved lexical. So I think that are enough questions. juergen -- Juergen Boemmels [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fachbereich Physik Tel: ++49-(0)631-205-2817 Universitaet Kaiserslautern Fax: ++49-(0)631-205-3906 PGP Key fingerprint = 9F 56 54 3D 45 C1 32 6F 23 F6 C7 2F 85 93 DD 47
