[REBOL] Links ? Pointers ?
From: gchillemi::aliceposta::it at: 23-Aug-2009 12:00
Hello, I whish to ask a question to REBOL professional developers:
If we have:
A: [1 2 3]
B: C: :A
B and C would share the same list of A
If we set A
A: ["something"]
B and C would point to the list [1 2 3] and A to ["something"]
I am thinking about introducing a new notation for indirect links. Look at
this:
A: [1 2 3]
B: C: ::A ;(please notice the double colon)
B and C now would have a link to whatever A is pointing to.
If we change A
A: ["something" 1 2 3]
Then
PROBE B
and
PROBE C
should return ["something" 1 2 3]
It would be usefull for objects. When you create a new object you should be
able to link values/functions/lists to the previous object or copy them.
What about this ?
