i have found the biggest weakness of Euphoria
you cant have large database of functions you can reuse later cause =
every function you call must be before current function!
sure you can call it with call_func(routine_id("name",{params})), but =
that doesnt look good and its complicated. I would like to know if this =
is also slower than normal function calling ??? cause if it isnt than we =
could write and use preprocessor (code would look normal and it would =
save you a lot of work)
and Euphoria could be more flexible in general, but it would loose some =
of its speed then, probably

Yes you can, use an include file, then you can call the functions from =
any euphoria program too :)

?
Has there been some change so "include" no longer works?

I think we all know what Skoda means here. Say we have 3 routines.
procedure routA ()
routC ()
end procedure
procedure routB ()
routA ()
end procedure
procedure routC ()
routB ()
end procedure
This forms an impossible triangle it won't work
without routine_id. However, I have yet to stumble
upon a situation where this could not be resolved
by restructuring ones code another way. In those
few hypothetical situations where there is no
alternative, we DO have routine_id (). I think that
the rarity of these situations makes it unnecessary
to add forward references to the language. Preprocessing
is a reasonable solution. In the event that forward
references are added to Euphoria I would like the option
to turn them off for my own code.
later,
Lewis Townsend

i have for each .dll(user32,gdi32,kernel32) and for dialogs,... separate .ew
file and situation when i must call function with routine_id is frequent.
try having functions categorized in files, which is reasonable, that way i
have been programming also in C, and you will eventually get to this
problem.
Lewis Townsend guessed what i mean.
