The package is intended to enable redefining structs within Revise.jl based workflow. It exports the macro @strev which (temporarily) wraps your struct like this @strev struct S0 x end becomes module StrucRev_S0 struct S0 x end end S0 = StrucRev_S0.S0 If you edit S0, you will get a…

[image] Eben60: why nobody implemented it yet (or maybe it is already done) I’m probably getting something wrong but the module wrapping seems like how Pluto notebooks are implemented, where you can redefine structs. Of course this more directly wraps the struct instead of a cell, and can be …

@Benny is exactly right. This is how Pluto does it! It moves the entire notebook into a new module each time a struct changes and ports forward everything it can from the old module.

Very cool package! I just want to suggest a name change if possible: StructRev instead of StrucRev I’m also thinking about @rev instead of @strev but maybe this is more controversial :smiley: at the same time it plays better with the revision of constant variables, I’m not sure if there is some o…

Or yet still: StructRevise may be more idiomatic for Julia packages.

I may have missed something, but if I understand correctly what StructRev does, I would anticipate the following issue: # This is the equivalent for @strev Foo IIUC julia> module Module_Foo struct Foo x::Int end end Main.Module_Foo julia> Foo = Module_Foo.Foo Main.M…

[image] ffevotte: Does StrucRev have a way to deal with this? Yes, you are right, that appears to be a problem. It is currently possible to put all constructors into the new module, and it will be possible to implement putting everything else therein, but then it would be definitely much les…

I once experimented with an idea along the lines of: # file `mysrc.jl` # This macro does nothing # But when anything passed to the macro changes, `Revise` will have to # revise everything. This is a (hacky?) way of forcing a bunch of # definitions to be revised together. macro revise_together(expr…

Now compared my approach with the “competition” - the packages RedefStructs.jl and ProtoStructs.jl . RedefStructs.jl appears to be broken under Julia 1.10 , at least it errored on a minimal struct definition. ProtoStructs.jl worked, however it suffers from the same problem as described above by @f…

While I think your approach is worthwhile it is not true that ProtoStructs.jl suffers from the same problems: julia> using ProtoStructs julia> @proto struct Foo x::Int end julia> foo(a::Foo) = a.x foo (generic function with 1 method) julia> a = Foo(42) Foo(42) ju…

It could be a different problem, but with an “includet” file I got an error Error: Failed to revise ... │ exception = │ AssertionError: ld[idx] < typemax(eltype(ld)) Right now it’s midnight here, tomorrow I’d provide more details.

yes, it could be maybe possible, I asked a question about it Is there a way to know if `Revise` is enabled?
