Re: [Bug-apl] Shared library survives session

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi Blake,

if you save a workspace containing a native function then the name of the shared library
is saved and when GNU APL loads such a workspace then it attempts to reload the shared library.
If you move the workspace to a different machine then it should still work unless the shared library is missing.

The idea is that a native function should behave like a normal APL function as much as possible.

Greetings,

If I do:

'lib_file_io.so'⎕FX'FILE_IO'

I get a function that is bound to the shared library.  If I then do:

      )SAVE XYZ

      )OFF

apl

      )LOAD XYZ

I see FILE_IO is defined.  How can this be?  How could it already be bound to the shared library?  Wouldn't I have to do this afresh with (at least) every new evocation of APL?  How could it possibly still be bound?  What if I moved that workspace to a different machine?

Thanks.
