Topic: Namespace question?

[iradic]

Hi, my first post here...

When I compile AutoLisp (no VisualLisp) code into VLX does it have it's own namespace for functions and variables?

I started writing Lisp and realized that I have some equally named functions and variables in different LSP files so I thought about just compiling them .)

When compiling within the vlisual lisp editor select the "expert" mode and it'll give you the choice of namespaces, this option will also allow you to include text and dcl files within the "vlx".

Welcome to theswamp.

If you make your variables "Private" there won't be a problem with uncompiled lisp.

The main problem is error handler routine - i used the same name for all of my lisp functions...

Look at this:

Also get acquainted with the SEARCH
http://www.theswamp.org/index.php?action=search;advanced

Enter "error handler"  with the quotes! then un-check this  [ ]Check all
then check [ ] AutoLISP (Vanilla / Visual) and check [ ] Show your stuff  

Hit the search button & you will have lots of routines to look at.

Welcome;

Make a protected namespace VLX

While in the Make Application do the following:

1. New Application wizard
2. Expert
3. Location and vlx name
4. Click Separate Namespace
5. Select the lisps,fas or PRJ's
6. Select DCL's (if applies)
7. Leave that Standard
8. Build the application

Load the VLX file, and just verify if any of the functions are protected with:

Command: !MyFunctionName

To export or import values to your protected namespace use the VL-DOC-REF - VL-DOC-SET
And for the functions use: VL-DOC-EXPORT - VL-DOC-IMPORT

Thanks... though I already read about "error handler" that if I read another one I will go crazy

Like this one (not quite error handler related):
