[REBOL] Re: async interface

From: rotenca:telvia:it at: 9-Mar-2004 19:31

Hi Anton,
> What were you thinking resolve* would be for ?
Resolve can be ignored, but resolve can fail, like connect. I am asking it all that errors are a good thing. I am thinking to use words instead: dns-failure connect-failure errors could be used only for i/o errors This makes the multi function approach a lillte too complex, perhaps is better to use the engage approach? engage: func [port action value [any-type!]][ switch action [ error [print "an error" probe disarm value true] dns-failure [true] connect-failure [print ["number of retry:" value] true] peer-close [true] read [print copy port false] write [print copy port false] ] ] We are back near to the original awake scheme (also if this function is no more referenced by port/awake)

Protocol ports (in the actual implementation) cannot be extended with new words. --- Ciao Romano
