Formatted memory dump

 [1/2] from: Steven::White::ci::bloomington::mn::us at: 29-Aug-2003 10:40


Speaking of system words, is there any way a REBOL script can get its hands on the user-defined words in itself, without hard-coding them? In other words, if I wanted to make a formatted "memory dump" to display when some error occurs, I could say print <word-1> print <word-2>... print <word-n> and write a module like this for every script, with "word-n" being each word in the script. BUT, if the script itself could find those words in some system area, THEN I could write ONE general-purpose module that I could put into ANY script, and when I called it I would get a listing of all the word in the script with their current values. Thank you. Steven White City of Bloomington 2215 W Old Shakopee Rd Bloomington MN 55431-3096 USA 952-563-4882 (voice) 952-563-4672 (fax) [swhite--ci--bloomington--mn--us]

Well, in theory this should be the purpose of SYSTEM/SCRIPT/WORDS, but AFAIK this is not implemented. However, as long as you can do a QUERY/CLEAR on SYSTEM/WORDS before DOing the script, you can see what words have been modified by evaluating the script using QUERY on SYSTEM/WORDS. I.e.: query/clear system/words ; now do a script do %my-script.r ; let's see what words have been modified by the script: modified-words: query system/words ; now you could print them like in your example foreach word modified-words [print word] HTH, Gabriele. -- Gabriele Santilli <[g--santilli--tiscalinet--it]> -- REBOL Programmer Amiga Group Italia sez.
