issue-#123 *Hook proc. not seen in extension interface

[DGDanforth]

Folks,

Kernel has a procedure SetLoaderHook that is marked for export "*" and yet when one
does Ctrl-D on Kernel one does not see that procedure.

That procedure is known to StdLoader which calls Kernel.SetLoaderHook so the procedure is there but it is invisible. Why?

I don't understand that behavior.

Run the DevBrowser.ShowInterface command with the "&" option included.

In the DevBrowser Docu this is described as:

PROCEDURE ShowInterface (opts: ARRAY OF CHAR)
...
...
opts = "&" creates an output which also shows hooks in the interface.

Thank you Chris.
I was unaware of those browser options.
Its somewhat awkward to actually do that since it entails creating a menu

Code: Select all

MENU "Browser"
	"Show hooks"	""	"DevBrowser.ShowInterface('&')"	""
END

and putting that some where, but it works.
Thanks again.

Doug, you can use the dialog Info->Interface...
and execute "Show Extension Interface".
This gives you information about the hooks as well.
Unfortunately, this does not show the procedure Kernel.SetLoaderHook
but only the related hook types and variables.
This seems to be a bug indeed.

The fix would be simple. In DevBrowser.Proc replace the second line by

Code: Select all

IF global.extensioninterface & ~((obj.link # NIL) & (obj.link.link = NIL) & IsHook(obj.link.typ)) THEN RETURN END;

I miss this change in the last link of the Center Edition (506).
Do we add this change to the Center Edition or not ???

I think, not. There should be issue and voting for this fix.

I think it is a bug indeed and a separate issue should be created for that.
It is simple to fix as I have already pointed out.

We are still not include this fix. Can it be classified as a bug?

[Josef Templ]

To me it is a bug and it should be fixed.
