1. RE: Code Execution Problem
hey trevor! you can't execute euphoria code like that yet...what you
need is a function like eval() in Perl, but Euphoria doesn't have
that(hey robert, can you take a hint?)
2. RE: Code Execution Problem
Is it possible to use the mini assembler and a function or var address to jump
to the code?
The code in the var or function would have to return itself to be effective.

huh? if what you're thinking is to get the address of a string

man...what a dumb idea. please tell me that's not what you're thinking.

I certainly wouldn't want to start throwing bricks here. In the first place I
just got Euphoria last week and haven't even spent more than a couple hours at it
yet. However, as I told one list member, I can name at least 3 different
languages which DID allow just that!
Next time you call ME dumb I suggest you look in a mirror!

We did more than hint about this same problem last year. Same with goto
and vertical sequence slices. There are two(?) interpreters in the archives,
that you can include in your code and pass vars to be executed. They run
slower than the native interpreter, of course.

It's not that dumb. That's how i made the C64 gosub a :target in the middle of
a BASIC line. Encounter goto, search for target in program and untokenized
var memory, execute it, and return. since Eu is interpreted, it can be told to
do anything Rob wants it to do.

Yes, indeed. And Clipper has somewhat the same construction. One puts a
subroutine in a var, so to speak, and then iterates the var for each item in a
list.

okay, okay...but this is different. here, you thought about getting the
pointer to a string. this is way different than getting a function
pointer in C.

I think that, being Euphoria interpretive, it would be easy to create such a
function. Have you heard about the APL language? Well, one of its strengths
is the existence of the "execute" function, that allows exactly what Trevor
asked for.
Very cute this young programmer, uh?

That seems a little uncalled for. Besides, that's not really outside the
realm of possibility with the translator.
In any case, you could work up a scheme to do this in pure Euphoria. You
could create your own heap within a sequence/a-list and use routine_id's.
Then you parse the command and execute it. It's more work, and it would be
slower than using native variables, but that doesn't mean it couldn't work.
The extra flexibility could definitely be worth it.

Or you could just tweak Dave's Eu/Ox/Py to do this kind of stuff (I believe
it's called scripting:).

11. RE: Code Execution Problem
Hmmmmm, well, what I was thinking of was the Clipper code sequences hidden in
var names and iterated thru in code. Sort of
a /for each (line in database) do <codevar>/ which allows pretty extensive
branching based on conditions in the database. And
I was just following up on a post by another member. Hope he didn't get
discouraged by the flack which followed.
Have a real nice day,
