eval context symbol error

Post by ssqq »

I found if *eval* a symbol, then *eval* the context symbol with this symbol prefix would throw a error.

Code: Select all

> (eval 'c)
nil
> (eval 'c:var)
ERR: context expected in function eval : c
> (context 'c)
c
> (eval 'c:var)
nil

The already introduced symbol c did not contain a context. Do it like this:

Code: Select all

> (set 'Foo:var 123)
123
> (set 'c Foo)
Foo
> (eval 'c:var)
123
>
