[REBOL] Re: Bug in LAYOUT with VAL helpdesk #6211
From: larry::ecotope::com at: 29-Apr-2001 17:06
Hi All
I found the bug.
>> protect 'val
>> layout [box "hello"]
** Script Error: Word val is protected, cannot modify
** Where: forall
** Near: val: first args
switch/default type?/word
>>
LAYOUT calls several other VID functions and the code above is in a function
called GROW-FACETS, which is called by LAYOUT. The word VAL should have been
declared local to GROW-FACETS, but was not.
Until it gets fixed, I devised a quick patch for GROW-FACETS. You can get it
at:
http://www.nwlink.com/~ecotope1/reb/grow-facets-patch.r
Put the script in the same directory as your user.r file and add this line
do %grow-facets-patch.r
to your user.r file.
The more advanced REBOLS out there may enjoy figuring out how the patch
works.
Cheers
-Larry
