I'm not quite sure what you mean, but I think I know.
It's basically what I'm doing.
Here is an example of what eu/include/machine.e currently looks like in the prototype API:
[eucode]
-- This file is an abstraction layer to provide Empire Std library compatability
-- to legacy applications created using the RDS libs
-- These are provided in a deprecated state.
-- When the transition from the RDS library dependencies to Empire Std library dependencies
-- is satisfactory, these abstraction libraries will be eliminated from the standard distribution.
include std/core/error.e
include std/util/system.e
include std/mem/mem.e
include std/mem/binary.e
include std/math/math.e
include std/gfx/graphics.e
[/eucode]
] With regards to include file handling, under 2.4 you could code eg:
] [eucode]
] include some\path\or\other\xxx.e
] include xxx.e
] [/eucode]
] and it would effectively ignore the 'include xxx.e'. Under 3.0.0 and
] later it has another 'look see' for xxx.e, which is fine, BUT if it
] cannot [now] find, it CRASHES! I firmly believe it should check the
] previous includes and if an 'xxx.e' was included OK elsewhere, accept
] that it /has/ already been included and move on...
]
] Or am I really the lone voice of this unacceptable incompatibility?
] [this is, again, really all about not modifying 3rd party sources]
Yer saying that if foo/xxx.e is already included and I try to include bar/xxx.e which doesn't exist, it should default to foo/xxx.e like it did when using previous versions of Eu?
I don't agree. I consider the previous behaviour to be broken.
Happy Holidays!
