Actually, all displayed behaviour has been by design ... maybe based on just being lazy ;-)

I'll have a look into your changes - and then it would be nice to integrate both html-help, and online quickhelp.

Regards,

Ingo ;-)

Yes,

that's what I thought ... whatever I did wrong, newLISP shouldn't crash ;-)

Mind you, I'm already very proficient in bugging newlisp programs, _debugging_ is a skill I still have to develop.

Thank you!

I don't understand, what happens here ... Me being lazy I want a fast way to load a file ni the console, so I created the following, which tries to load a file by: - converting the given file-name to a string and appending .lsp - just converting to a string (define-macro (do myfile) "tries to load t...

I found a crash newLISP v.8.9.6 on Win32 MinGW. > (set 'test '((name "ingo")(last "Hohmann"))) ((name "ingo") (last "Hohmann")) > (push '(name1 "Whalesong") test) (name1 "Whalesong") > (replace-assoc 'name1 test (name1 "Starseed")) invalid function in function replace-assoc : (name1 "Starseed") (CRA...

Thats something I'm just now thinking about ... I like to have named elements in datasets. Do have a better idea than the following? (set 'persons '( ((name "Ingo") (last "Hohmann") (birth-place {Planet Earth})) ((name "ET") (birth-place "Sirius III")))) (filter (lambda (v) (= "Ingo" (lookup 'name v...

Few would use non legal symbols to name a context/namespace, That's exactly why I used it ;-) I wanted to be sure to not clash with anything else. But it's not a big deal, I can safely use legal symbols. but illegal symbols may occur in dictionaries from life non-program texts and then the contsruc...

Thanks,

I just wasn't sure, wether it's a known problem.

Hi Lutz, I created some symbols using sym, with strings which are really far from being valid symbols. (context 'block) (set 'my-list nil) (set 'my-index nil) (define (block:block) (my-list my-index)) (define (block:new alist) (let ((new-block (MAIN:new MAIN:block (gensym 'MAIN)))) (new-block:init a...

Hi All,

does anyone have a testuing framework for newLISP? I remember that I've seen some code posted with a test= function ...



Thank you,

Ingo

Thank you,

that worked.

It was the first time I had problems like this ... funny.

Hi Lutz,

When I start newlisp-tk (newlisp 8.9.5), I get the following error:

Error sourcing /freewrap/newlisp-tk.tcl: couldn't execute "C:\Programme\newlisp\newlisp": no such file or directory

Which is quite OK, because it really doesn't exist, newlisp is
installed in E:\Tools\Newlisp

Ahh, thank you.

Hi Lutz, I have defined the following func: (define (type val) (if (float? val) 'float (integer? val) 'integer (lambda? val) 'lambda (list? val) 'list (macro? val) 'macro (string? val) 'string (symbol? val) 'symbol (atom? val) 'atom)) in a file called tools.lsp, now when I load this file, I get an e...

Yes, this bug has been corrected in 8.9.4

And my nice gensym can be replaced by

Thanks Lutz,

I started to assume something like this, and seems you were right. My first test worked!


Kind regards,

Ingo

Hi, I'm having a problem with a library call. I'm still trying to get newLisp to use IUP(1), and now I have to call a function with a variable number of arguments, which expects NULL as the last. And whenever I call the function, newLisp crashes. (context 'iup) (set 'iup-imports '( (iup.dll IupOpen ...

... context use a global variable name ... There are always voices who want to build all paradigms known to CS into newLISP, ... Believe me, I am not proposing this. I like it small and sweet. ;-) In the big picture of things this is the right thing to do: it sets limitations but also makes the lan...

He has one point, though.

That context use a global variable name strikes me as suboptimal, too.
Especially as they are promoted as a way to pass large structures by reference, and to be used to implement objects.

Hi, am I the only one who gets the following error? symbol is protected in function silent : sym called from user defined function SYS:make-context-verify I get it when I try to create a new context through newlisp-tk (new context button). P.S.: I get it with newlisp-tk as shipped with 8.9.0 and 8.9...

Hi Peter, hmm, silent should work ... it looks a little funny, maybe I need a better name ... (def (.) "Just to end interactive funcs, put it at the last place in your func" (silent (print "\n> "))) (def (src "Prints the source of a lambda expression" of-func "function, to get source of") (println (...

I like to play at the console. One thing I noticed at the newLisp console, is that prints and returns frequently run into each other, e.g. > (define (test a) (print a)) (lambda (a) (print a)) > (test 5) 55 Why the hell is it printing 55??? Well, I found out quite fast, but with a little more complic...

1) You're welcome! ;-) 2) OK, I cheated a little bit. I've done some programming in Rebol, which has lispy roots. But it does away with all these parens - which now are my main problem ... 3) See above ... I sometimes need the parens on their lines, to be able to read it. But maybe I'll learn with t...

I like to have an interpreter open, to check code snippets. Now, if the interpreter is already there, it would be nice to have an online help system ... here it is ;-) (define-macro (def) "Creates a lambda expression, while checking for doc-strings" (let ((__def_func (args)) (__def_help "")) (dolist...

OK, while I was thinking, and learning newLisp, and tried to implement a gensym a gensym. It does not technically give you an unlimited number of different different symbols, but it should be enough for most real world problems. (context 'gensym) (set 'no 0) (define (gensym:gensym) "creates lots of ...
