AFACS in Boot this is:
interpret_block(code) ==
$newcompErrorCount : local := 0
$inclAssertions : local := []
$ncMsgList : local := []
$erMsgToss : local := false
$lastPos : local := $nopos
$EchoLines : local := false
st := MAKE_-STRING_-INPUT_-STREAM(code)
intloopInclude0(st, 'webspad, 0)
Thank you! I will test tonight.
Both Lisp version and the above behave rather badly when called
from command line (the same is true for parseAndEvalStr).
Namely, after calling it interpreter is apparently waiting
for more input from the string, but none is coming. So
command line is effectively blocked. Probably does not
matter for server style use, but definitely it is not "universal"
function.
Maybe I do not quite get what you say. Is it: "The function works
nicely, but the user cannot send another string during the time the
first call to interpret_block is running?" In other words I cannot have
two instances of interpret_block running at the same time?
I wonder how this could be ever relevant when FriCAS anyway uses just
one processor.
Although it would be an interesting idea to send and evaluate other
input to FriCAS during a long running command, but wouldn't that badly
interfere with session management? When the first command does something
like "z:=1; for i in 1..10^100 repeat print(i)" and the second one says
"z:=2", would the first one suddenly print 2?
