Not this. Workaround with expanding <SID> was merged AFAIR and it does not matter much whether it is a workaround or not as it works (well, it will matter when refactoring, but not from the view point of VimL users). It has another huge benefit that you once you got obtained new-style funcref you can no longer fear that somebody will undefine or redefine the referenced function. Though if this matters for compatibility reasons I can have both new-style funcrefs and keep this problem: just have void* point to function name and keep functions used previously in fv_func_def (in this thread I named it ob_type) structure. Next benefit is unified garbage-collecting. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
