Re: [Bug-apl] Locked functions do not stay locked after )LOAD

[Elias Mårtenson]

Regardless of the thinking behind the GPL, I don't see the benefit of ever locking or "hiding" a function, ever.

In fact, I can't think of any other programming language that has a feature like that.

Regards,

Elias

Hi Blake,

thanks, fixed in SVN 270.

Please note that ⎕AT is not standard and that the attributes other
than "locked" will not be supported by GNU APL.

Note also that ⎕CR shows an empty result when a function is locked, while
10 ⎕CR and )DUMP display it even if locked.

This is because I believe that hiding a function completely is not compatible
with the thinking behind the GPL under which GNU APL is released.
