Stupid question: Locals ??

 [1/4] from: robert:muench:robertmuench at: 17-Dec-2002 17:41


Hi, I somehow seem to be a bit blind in one eye. I have the following code: paragraph: has [name pvalue toemit][ toemit: make block! ['textbox ""] ; value now has a name/value structure itself foreach tmp value [ name: tmp/1 pvalue: tmp/2 switch/default name [ parapart [append last toemit pvalue] ][print ["Unknown INLINE-TAG found:" name]] ] emit toemit ] The strange thing is that 'toemit keeps its value between calls to paragraph. Why this? It's declared as local and I create a new block each time. Robert

don't you want to have: toemit: compose ['textbox (copy "")] instead? -L

Using make block! should work, but you're doing an APPEND LAST, so you're adding to the last element of toemit, which is "" initially, not copied, so I think that's what is keeping its value. -- Gregg

Hi, yep I think that's it. Looks like I never will get this into my head ;-)). IMO it's very strange to have a copy/make that only works on the outer level. I would make this default and add a refinement for just-copy-outer-level ... But maybe I'm the only one thinking different. Robert
