including other files in a LIB package

[kroeker@…]

Hello,

is it possible to include code from other files in a Singular .lib file, that means, separate a package into a couple of files?

I asked this question in the forum, but did not get an answer. This feature will help to organize a library into smaller logically grouped peaces.

If this is not desired or unfortunate, please give some arguments.

Thanks

Jakob

Each library creates its own name space - no access to internal routines from other libraries. Access to the public routines from other libraries is possible: simply list the required libraries in the header.

You can use static procs from other libs in your procedures (!) by specifying the package name, e.g.

listvar (Standard);
// Standard                       [0]  package Standard (S,standard.lib)
...
// ::intersect1                   [0]  proc from standard.lib (static)
...
proc my_intersect1(a,b) { return ( Standard::intersect1(a,b) ); };

ok

just for completenes ( it was probably discussed several times before):

what are the main reasons for 'wontfix' of this issue?

Thanks,

Hi ,

thanks for the hint for accessing static procs from other procedures.
