Linked list with Prototype

[Konne]

How can I call a List of Prototypes?
If there is any Logic it should work like that:

Code: Select all

Prototype Proc()

NewList Test.Proc()

Procedure Proce()
  ProcedureReturn 5
EndProcedure

AddElement(Test())
Test()=@Proce()

Debug Test()()   ;Compiler problem!

But it doesn't

hehe!
Good one

Prototypes can't be used with list or array, because it leads to wierd syntax (a compiler check has been added). If you need that, you can still create a structure and put the prototype in it, it's exactly the same code generated wise.

Test()()

... mhh... not so wierd
Simply it should mean a prototype used with list or array, IMHO

[Fred]

It is wierd .

[Trond]

Test(·)(·)

It's not weird it's common sense. So it should work. I mean if you don't like it don't do it. Everything else would be a waste of resources and writing.

It kinda looks weird yeah. I never really liked lists and arrays using () in the first place, looks too much like a procedure or function to me.

*wonders why Fred didn't use [] for lists and arrays instead*

Good point. But maybe Rescator has a point too about the [], unless you have other plans for them?
