loadSource
Function
- Structure
Shell.Build
- Type
val loadSource: string -> unit
- Syntax
loadSource unit-name -> ()
- Arguments
- unit-name
- A string naming a program unit. Must be given in the portable unit-location notation (see Section 4.3.2.1 on page 69).
- Values
unit
- Description
- Loads the source-file version of unit-name (unit-name
.sml) into the interactive context. This entails compiling the top-level declarations in unit-name.sml, but MLWorks does not write an object file for it.
- If unit-name depends on any other units, the source files for those units are loaded too. However, only the top-level declarations in unit-name are added to the interactive context.
- If MLWorks cannot find unit-name
.sml, it looks for the object file unit-name.mo instead (and so on for any depended-upon units).
