Actually my problem is:

program p = compile_file("/home/david/scripts/wrap_lines.pike"); p;

(7) Result: wrap_lines.pike

master()->Codec()->nameof(p);

Failed to find name of program inherit.pike. /usr/local/pike/7.5.23/lib/master.pike:3908: master()->Codec()->nameof(inherit.pike,0)

While this works with previous version of Pike (below 7.5)

Hi,

I wonder what this error mean. What is exactly the name of a program ? Could I set it in a sort of automatic way if it's not set ?

Thank you for your answer.

I get this in 7.4:

Pike v7.4 release 45 running Hilfe v3.5 (Incremental Pike Frontend)

program p = compile_file("/home/mast/foo.pike"); master()->Codec()->nameof(p);

(1) Result: "_static_modules.system"

That result is entirely bogus, so I wouldn't say that it works there.

It's not strange that the codec in 7.5 can't find the name of that program. When you use compile_file, you don't make it known to the standard resolver system. You either need to do that (say, by using a cast instead), or extend the codec to look for your program.

While the same works with Pike < 7.5.

compile_file doesn't cache (I think). Caching is done in the master.

Speaking of compile_file() and cast_to_program(), how does this work in pike?

Where is the caching of programs done when casting and can the caching be "undone" so that a new version of a program may be loaded?

/ Marcus Agehall (Scanian)

In the mapping "programs", to be precise.

Note that the reverse lookup code assumes that mapping never shrinks, so if elements are removed it's necessary to fix rev_programs too. The best way is of course to add a function to the master that handles this.
