Hi, all!
Just a small further demonstration that the term "embedded
object" is of questionable significance in REBOL...
>> ob11: none
== none
(just to make sure that there's nothing up my sleeve...)
>> ob1: make object! [
[ a: 1
[ init: func [n [integer!]] [a: n]
[ do [
[ ob11: make object! [
[ b: 10
[ init: func [n [integer!]] [b: n]
[ wot: func [] [a + b]
[ ]
[ ]
[ ]
So where does that leave us?
>> source ob11
ob11:
make object! [
b: 10
init: func [n [integer!]][b: n]
wot: func [][a + b]
]
>> source ob1
ob1:
make object! [
a: 1
init: func [n [integer!]][a: n]
]
But notice what A in OB11/WOT refers to!
>> ob11/wot
== 11
>> ob1/init 3
== 3
>> ob11/wot
== 13
>> ob11/init 20
== 20
>> ob11/wot
== 23
So, is OB11 an "embedded object" in OB1 or not?
PRO:
It contains a word (A) belonging to the context of OB1.
It was created during the creation of OB1.
CON:
OB1 contains no reference to OB11.
OB11 is, in fact, a global name.
Maybe the question contains too much baggage in the phrase
"embedded object", eh wot?
