Does the description you give correspond to defglobals as well? I notice that my predicates that reference a defglobal don't get tickled when modifying defglobals in the action of the rule. I would appreciate the described change if so.

This is -not- a bug report; I'm just asking here what people think of the current behavior. Anyway, for static definstances, (modify) modifies the definstanced object immediately, but the corresponding shadow fact doesn't change until a (reset). This has probably bit any number of people -- I don't think they expect this bahavior. I'd like to change (modify) to behave uniformly for all kinds of facts -- i.e., the shadow facts for static definstances would change immediately. Does anyone depend on, or especially like, the current behavior instead? --------------------------------------------------------- Ernest Friedman-Hill Distributed Systems Research Phone: (925) 294-2154 Sandia National Labs FAX: (925) 294-2234 Org. 8920, MS 9012 [EMAIL PROTECTED] PO Box 969 http://herzberg.ca.sandia.gov Livermore, CA 94550 -------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send the words 'unsubscribe jess-users [EMAIL PROTECTED]' in the BODY of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], NOT to the list (use your own address!)
