4562 :: Global procedure access?

• lqdev (orginal) [2019-01-16T12:40:41+01:00] view original

  I don't know if I titled my problem correctly, but this is what I'm trying to achieve:

  proc a(n: int) =
    b()
  
  proc b() =
    a(42)
  Run

  I know this example would recur infinitely, but my actual use case breaks a on a condition.

  I already tried using tables, but it's not really possible since my procedures have different signatures:

  import tables
  
  var myProcs = initTable[string, proc ()]() # this is where the plan fails
  
  myProcs.add("a") do (n: int):
    myProcs["b"]()
  
  myProcs.add("b") do ():
    myProcs["a"](42)
  Run

  Is there any way for me to achieve this?

  proc b()
  
  proc a(n: int) =
    b()
  
  proc b() =
    a(42)
  Run

  Forward declaration needed, see here for a short example/explanation

  The code reordering experimental someday can improve this (?).
