[Gretl-devel] Re: saving and loading user-defined functions

A small novelty in git which may be of use to developers: you can now
use the "store" command, with a new --functions option, to save
function definitions as XML. Material saved in this way can then be
loaded using "include" on the XML file.

What about the C angle? Up till now there has been no straightforward
way to load hansl functions in the context of a "libgretl C program",
but now you can do
<C>
int err;
err = load_XML_functions_file(<XML filename>, OPT_NONE, NULL);
</C>
Thanks, Allin. Naive question: This C function load_XML_functions_file
is from libgretl, right? Wouldn't it make sense to have a "gretl_"
prefix there? I'm thinking about a situation when you're writing a C
program where also other libraries may be included, so that it's clearer.
