I'm having problems using the "get-word" concept.
(WinNT4 using console from View3)
Rebol user guide has a "print-body" function using get-word.
print-body: func [:fun] [second :fun]
test: func [x] [x + 3] ;my simple test function
print-body test ==> [x + 3] ;neat
This seems like a great way to access a function's code without
evaluating it. And if I replace the block [second :fun]
print-body: func [:fun] [pick :fun 2]
print-body test ==> [x + 3]
print-body: func [:fun] [probe :fun]
print-body test ==> func [x] [x + 3]
I get expected behavior.
But !!
print-body: func [:fun] [print :fun]
print-body test ==> ?function?
And :
print :test ==> ?function?
And worse if I try:
print first :test ==> CRASH
I get a crash with a Dr. Watson window saying:
Exception: access violation [0xc0000005],Address 0x00404326
This is a repeatable response.
Are there some special limitations on 'print or on use of get-word or
is it just the peculiar interaction of these ??
I have read what I can find about get-word but maybe someone can give
me some additional help to explain my problem above.
Thanks,
Don
