Summary | Remove EVAL function from R3 |
---|---|
Description |
Noticed that EVAL was in the alpha builds. I looked up and found a comment by Carl in this blog entry: http://www.rebol.net/r3blogs/0089.html Look near bottom of page and it seems to indicate that EVAL is no longer necessary with the change made to DO. If it is no longer necessary then this is a reminder to remove the EVAL code from future builds. Also a comment regarding CAUSE-ERROR no longer being necessary as well in that same blog entry. |

I've already discussed EVAL with Carl and he agreed that it should be removed. This would have the advantage of freeing a common word for better use by developers.
CAUSE-ERROR is the main and recommended method for generating errors in R3, and is used extensively in mezzanine code. The old CAUSE-ERROR function mentioned in the blog was changed to something useful, so it shouldn't be removed. |
