MakeGlobal allows only left-evaluable expressions

[imendez]

In this code:

Set s =
{

Real n =1;
Text name = "c"+ FormatReal(n, "%.0lf");
Set c = n/2, n*2 ?;
Set Eval("Set "+ name +" = n, n*2 ?;");
Set MakeGlobal(Eval("Set "+ name +" = n, n*2 ?;"+ name +";"));
Set MakeGlobal(c);
Eval(name)

};
Set a = c1;
Set b = c;

TOL return these error messages:

Warning: La función MakeGlobal ha fallado en :
MakeGlobal(Eval("Set "+name+" = n, n*2 ?;"+name+";"))
ERROR: c1 no es un objeto de tipo Set.
ERROR: a no se pudo crear.

and I think it's because MakeGlobal doesn't allow an evaluated object, since "b" is
created without problems as an image of "c".

Hi Iván,

The problem is not the Eval function, as we can suspect. The expressions we can
use as argument for MakeGlobal must be Left-Evaluable expressions, like variable
declarations. For that reason, any assignment expression then is not allowed.
I think this behavior can be improved (I've felt free to change this Bug
Severity to "Enhancement").

Thanks for your report.
Kind regards,

Daniel

I just applied a change to MakeGlobal in order to allow the use of normal
expressions as arguments. Those that are using MakeGlobal extensively, please
report me any bad impression that could appear after this commit.

Kind regards
