When redefining a subfunction I always have to go back and redefine the top level function since otherwise it continues to use the old definition of the subfunction. Is there a way around this? I have played with @noinline and starting julia with --optimise=0 but it doesn’t seem to help. The REPL se…

What you are seeing is #265 in action. From what I now this is slated to be fixed in Julia v0.6, but until then there is no good workaround.

Ah thanks. Do you know if the idea of an interpreted mode (rather than JIT) has ever been explored?

[image] jkroso: Do you know if the idea of an interpreted mode (rather than JIT) has ever been explored? There is an interpreter already, but it is relatively slow, and doesn’t yet support all intrinsics (see https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/18754 ).

Note that interpreting code is not related to fixing #265 at all.

In IJulia, I use this macro: macro autorun(expr) esc(:(begin $IJulia.push_preexecute_hook(()->@eval($expr)) $expr nothing end)) end @autorun a()=b() @autorun b()=1 a() # 1 @autorun b()=2 a() # 2 It’s a hack, but it works.
