- [Pardon me if this is a duplication; I tried posting it once before
- using another service, but I don't think it got out the door...]
-
- I've written a Concordia document as a proposal for a software system.
- The document has many records of type FUNCTION which document
- functions that didn't exist at the time of the document's creation.
-
- I'm now coding that software system, and updating my document as a
- "programmer's guide", trying to make sure that the document and the
- software stay in sync. My problem comes when I try to m-X Update
- Arglist. Even though the function documented by the record now
- exists, and both function and record are in the proper (same) package,
- I continue to get the message
-
- <function-name> is not currently defined as a function,
- so no argument list is available
-
- I am able to get around this by the following hassle [assume a
- FUNCTION record called MODEL:FOO]:
-
- 1. Rename FUNCTION record MODEL:FOO to MODEL:BAR
- 2. Create a new FUNCTION record called MODEL:FOO
- 3. Copy all fields of MODEL:BAR to MODEL:FOO
- 4. Find all the links to the old record (now MODEL:BAR) and change
- them to point to the new record (MODEL:FOO)
- 5. Kill the old record MODEL:BAR
-
- What a pain! I've got quite a few of these to do, and I would like to
- think that there is an easier way to fix this "problem". Suggestions?
-
- Thanx,
- -Dave
