Hello,
ClobberingReload
<https://github.com/cstjean/ClobberingReload.jl>.creload("ModuleName")
is an alternative to reload("ModuleName") for interactive development.
Instead of creating a new module object, it evaluates the modified code
inside the existing module object, clobbering the existing definitions.
This means that:
using ClobberingReload
import M
x = M.Cat(4)
...
creload("M")
M.chase(x) # no need to reinitialize x
Unlike reload(), it works fine with `using`
using ClobberingReload
using M
x = Cat(4)
...
creload("M")
chase(x)
ClobberingReload also works as a drop-in replacement for *@malmaud*'s great
Autoreload.jl <https://github.com/malmaud/Autoreload.jl> package. See this
section <https://github.com/cstjean/ClobberingReload.jl#autoreload>.
The package has not been tested as extensively as I would have liked before
release, but it's rather simple code, and with 0.5 releasing today and
Autoreload being mostly unmaintained
<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/julia-users/8eHcaNkiHnc/r61FMk0WBgAJ>,
hopefully this can help some 0.5 users. Please file an issue should you
encounter a problem.
Install it with
Pkg.clone("git://github.com/cstjean/ClobberingReload.jl.git")
Best,
Cédric
