Re: [Bug-apl] Copy of dumped WS copies everything

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi Blake,

thanks, sort of fixed in SVN 694. It may not work properly, though, if a file
was not )DUMPed or modified manually after )DUMPing it. Reason: DUMP
files contain APL code that is being executed. Therefore it is in general not
decidable if that code may create a particular function or variable.

F3 should not be there.

Of course the copy works with workspaces but has this error with dumped workspaces.

I feel as though I am being pushed to use dump files rather than workspaces because of the fact that dumped workspaces better survive GNU APL upgrades.  (I got caught on that one with a WS I hadn't used in a while.)  Not being able to store the SI on dumped files is unimportant to me because the SI doesn't matter on a WS you hadn't loaded in a year and a half.  The saved SI is mainly good for WS's being actively debugged.  But - the ability to copy functions is used on old WS's.

It would be handy to have )COPY work on dumped workspaces.

Thanks.
