[REBOL] Library loader

From: andrew::martin::colenso::school::nz at: 24-Dec-2003 22:45

Here's my Library loader script: use [Patches Files Provided Do_Script Defer_Script Script Header Requires Provides] [ do Patches: %Patches.r Files: exclude read %./ reduce [Rebol/script/header/File Patches] Provided: make block! 100 Do_Script: [ do Script if all [ not none? Provides Provides: get Provides any [ word? Provides block? Provides ] ] [ insert tail Provided Provides ] true ] foreach File Files [ Defer_Script: [ insert/only tail Files Script ] Script: any [ if block? File [ File ] if all [ file? File found? find/last File %.r ] [ load/header File ] ] if Script [ Header: first Script Requires: in Header 'Requires Provides: in Header 'Provides any [ if none? Requires Do_Script if word? Requires: get Requires [ either found? find Provided Requires Do_Script Defer_Script ] if block? Requires [ either empty? exclude Requires Provided Do_Script Defer_Script ] ] ] ] ] It examines each script's header for the 'Requires and 'Provides fields, like (from my ML.r %script): Requires: [Build-Tag Push Pop] Provides: [ML] It doesn't attempt to do any versioning or downloading, just 'load-s and 'do-es scripts so that scripts that require words defined are 'do-ne after scripts that provide values for those words. For the above example, the files that provide 'Build-Tag, 'Push & 'Pop are 'do-ne before the file containing a value for 'ML. One problem the above script has, it that if a script requires a value for a word that no other script provides, the above function never returns. I haven't figured out a solution for this. Can anyone think of one? Andrew J Martin Attendance Officer Speaking in tongues and performing miracles. Colenso High School Arnold Street, Napier.
