[REBOL] PREBOL questions
From: robert:muench:robertmuench at: 24-Nov-2002 12:47
Hi, I want to get some feedback about PREBOL and I have some
questions/ideas for it. At the moment Rebol doens't has any library
concept how to reuse commone code. I know that several people have done
their own solution. But as always these are not complatible or need a
bit infrastructure around your Rebol development process (specific
directories, specific source-code method,...).
Now we have PREBOL. It's already a cool script but how do you use it
while developing? I don't want to run PREBOL each time. So I need
something like a native "include" (I'm currently just using DO). It
works but I'm not sure if there aren't better ways to do it. Any
comments?
Further I would like to be able to write the PREBOL directives while
developing. But adding #include to my scripts won't run it with the
normal Rebol interpreter. So how about using ;#include for PREBOL? It
shouldn't be to hard I think.
AFAIK PREBOL will include the whole file. Is there any way to find our
what stuff is used from an include file and to strip the unused code? At
the moment I'm using one big library file. So even for small scripts,
everything is included. I know that Rebol is very dynamic etc. but
maybe it's possible to write a trace-log, that can later be used by
PREBOL for filtering. What do you think? Robert
