You fixed the cast arithmetic in master. Thanks, but I need it in 
dyn-lib-emitter

Ah, you should have said that in the ticket, I copied the fix in 
v0.3.0 thinking that's where you needed it. :-)
Done.

I referred to it in our private chat on our secret project, but thanks 
:-)
Actually, I don't need it, you need it :-)

hehe :)
Ok, I've added (not pushed yet) a new directive for including Red/System 
libs outside of 'red context. Example:

	#system-include [%tests/hello.reds]


will load and compile the hello.reds script. Notice that relative 
include paths are resolved from Red/System root folder (%Red/red-system/).

Does that cover your need Kaj?

It should solve one big part of the problem. The other big part are 
the context sensitive #define's
I also need #include's to work the same as in Red/System: relative 
to the source the path is in
DocKimbel
17-Sep-2012
[1899]
The only #include right now are Red/System includes.
Kaj
17-Sep-2012
[1900]
Yes, those I mean
DocKimbel
17-Sep-2012
[1901]
#system-include just inserts them outside of 'red context.
Kaj
17-Sep-2012
[1902]
Or do you mean paths in #system-include?
DocKimbel
17-Sep-2012
[1903x2]
The included file paths are left unchanged.
They are just inserted at beginning of intermediary script passed 
to Red/System.
Kaj
17-Sep-2012
[1905x2]
I meant the ticket I have open
The path of the source file they came from is lost
DocKimbel
17-Sep-2012
[1907]
Does such include work fine with %rsc.r?
Kaj
17-Sep-2012
[1908]
Yes, I use them everywhere
DocKimbel
17-Sep-2012
[1909]
(I mean just #include %../C-library.reds)
Kaj
17-Sep-2012
[1910x3]
By the way, I think we should eventually have a search path for includes, 
but that's for the future
Yes, I use relative include paths of that form in all my bindings 
and examples
I need them to be able to install my Fossil repositories side by 
side in one main directory and then #include between them without 
changing paths
DocKimbel

I've pushed #system-include addition, but there's probably more path-related 
patches to apply I'm afraid.
context-sensitive #define: seems to be a complicated change as it 
is the heart of the preprocessor...but context are created only during 
compilation (so after preprocessing).
Kaj

It would be easer if #system-include would be like #system so that 
you could wrap an extra context around Red/Sytsem code, without introducing 
an extra wrapper file. Would that be hard?
DocKimbel
17-Sep-2012
[1916]
No, trivial, I would then just remove #system-include and add an 
option to #system to have the code loaded outside of 'red context...but 
semantically, it will be a bit inconsistent with barebone #system, 
as it means "inline the Red/System code here"...Maybe I should just 
rename #system-include to solve that.
Kaj

[1917x3]
It works as it is now, but then I run into the #define problem
This form of #system-include is probably still handy
Why does it require a block?
DocKimbel
17-Sep-2012
[1920]
I've changed it to #system-global, work exactly as #system but loads 
outside and before 'red context, should I push it?
Kaj
17-Sep-2012
[1921]
Please
DocKimbel
17-Sep-2012
[1922]
Done.
Kaj
17-Sep-2012
[1923x3]
Works with #include with an absolute path
There's an extra problem when I wrap the C binding in a context, 
but that seems unrelated
An #enum isn't prefixed with the context
DocKimbel
17-Sep-2012
[1926x2]
For the defines, I think the best option (and cheapest) would be 
that I prefix the one I use internally for Red.
It should IIRC.
Kaj
17-Sep-2012
[1928]
It's worse than that. The first error I get is on one of my #define's 
that's a struct! later in Red
DocKimbel
17-Sep-2012
[1929x2]
I guess you'll have to prefix (or suffix) them.
Which one is conflicting?
Kaj
17-Sep-2012
[1931]
That would really butcher all my bindings. And it's too much work 
just to do temporarily for the demo
DocKimbel
17-Sep-2012
[1932]
I can maybe change some on Red side, if there are not too many conflicts.
Kaj
17-Sep-2012
[1933]
It's NONE, but I really wouldn't want you to change that in Red. 
And it's just the tip of the iceberg
DocKimbel

[1934x2]
Added new actions: AT, SKIP, BACK, NEXT, LENGTH-OF.

You can now do a bit more than just PRINT 1. ;-) See:

	a: 123
	a: a + 2
	print a * 6 - a

	b: [4 7 9 [11] test /ref 'red]

	print pick b 2
	print pick pick b 4 1
	print pick next b 1
	print pick next next b 1
	print pick back next b 1

	print length-of b
	print length-of next next b
	print length-of pick b 4
	print pick at b 2 1
	print pick skip b 2 1

	print pick at next b -1 1
	print pick skip next b -1 1
I'll extend FORM tomorrow so we can print more types.

Looking into it.
Fixed it. Going to rest now, will process other tickets tomorrow 
morning.

I'm busted, too. Night
