HELP POPDEFINECONSTANT Revised by Fran Evelyn, July 85 Updated A.Sloman Jan 91 This facility is obsolete for the same reason as -popconstruct-. See HELP * POPCONSTRUCT. There is an autoloadbale version in the library, for the sake of backward compatibility. See REF * OBSOLETE ----------------------------------------------------------------------- <boolean> -> popdefineconstant; This variable is local to the procedure POP11_COMP_STREAM, and is user-assignable. If its value is FALSE (the default value) then all procedure identifiers are automatically declared as variables during compilation. If its value is TRUE (or non-false) they are declared as constant identifiers. Since it is local to the compiler, it cannot usefully be assigned to in the users 'init.p' by an ordinary assignment. To change its global default value in 'init.p' use set_global_valof, e.g. set_global_valof(true, "popdefineprocedure"); A similar strategy may be used for POPDEFINEPROCEDURE The interpretation of these variables is determined by a user-definable procedure POP11_DEFINE_DECLARE, described in REF * POPCOMPILE. See also HELP *CONSTANT - on the use of constant identifiers in POP-11 *VARS - on the use and declaration of variables REF * POPCOMPILE --- C.all/help/popdefineconstant --------------------------------------- --- Copyright University of Sussex 1991.
