I assumed from the scheme manual that procedure-overloading (in the form of different numbers of arguments) was permitted, since, for example, there are two versions of string->number. However, I can't seem to get it to work. Anything special one needs to do to overload?
If you take the following code and run it in the script-fu console, it works; but replacing all occurrances of "foo2" with "foo" gets into an infinite loop (I guess; it never returns, in any case). Is this just a user-error mistake, or is there something different needed to overload a procedure definition? I realize the two arg definition had to appear before the one arg definition which used it; if the order is wrong I get the wrong # args error, which makes sense. > (define (foo2 arg1 arg2) (string-append arg1 arg2)) (define (foo arg1) (foo2 arg1 "def")) (foo "abc") foo2foo"abcdef" Thanks, Gary _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
