upload / metafun

[Hans Hagen]

Hi,

I uploaded a new lmtx. This time some work has been done at the metafun end.

At the tex end we're working on some overload protection mechanism which 
involves tagging many macro so that will take a while (most tagging is 
done but checking left over cases take time).

So, I wondered if we can do something similar in metapost: flag macros 
and variables in order to issue a warnings when a dangerous overload 
happens.

The current lmtx has this as an experiment: primitives, permanent, 
immutable and mutable (so far); you can look at the *.mpxl files to get 
an idea. If you say for instance

         path fullcircle;

there will be a warning

	metapost        > overloading immutable 'fullcircle'

or when

	\enabledirectives[metapost.overloadmode=error]

has been given you get an error.

The implementation is rather simple and non intrusive and differs from
the one in tex. There it is tightly integrated for all kind of reasons 
(millions of macro definitions per run so efficiency matters). Also, in 
metapost variables (tags) can have complex name constructions and we 
only test the top level. When a overload happens (overloadmode internal 
<> 0) a lua callback takes care of it.

A side effect is that we can query all hash entries and check for 
consistency which is what i've done and am doing now. Of course that can 
introduce issues ... just that you know.

Hans

Re: upload / metafun

[Otared Kavian]

Hi Hans,

Thanks for the new upload. 
With your comments, I understand that, following the discussion with Aditya, when using the new version I should not define in Metafun a new function named
	dotlabel
in order to have a square dot… Actually I called it mydotlabel in order to be able to change the shape of the dot, so I will be on the safe side when I can download the new version.

However after running install. sh on MacOS, I still get current version: 2020.12.10 22:26, even after removing the .tma files.
So I guess I have to wait a little bit for the new version to be upoaded.

Best regards: Otared

Hans,

I’m afraid I’m having the same issue as Otared.

This is from some minute ago (Date: Tue, 15 Dec 2020 20:15:33 GMT).

I guess this might be the reason for an oudated brand new install.

I think there might be an issue here.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

I'll check it when I've finished what I'm doing now (some more mp stuff).
