Re: Symbols: More Functionality Wanted
Would it be possible to provide an analog to const_get/set() methods for variables? I think the class name Binding is ok. There is a sense of the word binding in which it refers to a mapping of one set of things to another, as in "the binding between local services and multicast addresses". I think of Scope as being a descriptive attribute of a variable or function and not necessarily a container for it. It might seem weird to say, "I have an array of Scopes which all contain such and such a variable." I think you're more likely ask, "What is the scope of this variable?" By which, if I understand this correctly (and I probably don't), you'd be referring to the topmost Binding in which the given variable is visible. It seems to me that the word which best describes what Binding is doing this context is, well, context. But I suppose context is too general a term to be used as a class name in this context. It also seems like having mutable Binding's has the potential to be as powerful and confusing as callcc(). Can I pass a Binding instance to another thread and write to it from there?
