Linking .jl script in another .jl script.

[ghost]

Well, its just been a couple of days, I started using Julia. It might be a silly question, but unable to solve on my own.

File name : mee.jl

function mem(k)
k*10
end

File name : a.jl

function man(val)
require("mee.jl")
reload("mee.jl")
k = mem(val)
print(k)
end

executing require("a.jl") and then man(20) yeilds 200 as desired. But suppose, I change mee.jl function(2nd Line) as k*40 and save it.
Now, executing reload("a.jl") and then man(20) should yeild 800, but it doesn't, it still yeilds 200???
Is it a mistake which I am making in the execution process/Coding?

What version of Julia are you using? With the current 0.2 builds this works as expected.

Dup of #265?

[staticfloat]

Shouldn't be, I tried this on my computer and it works just fine.

In a situation like this require should be done at the top level, not inside the function.

@JeffBezanson ...Well sir, its working now, by declaring 'require' and 'reload' function before the function delaration, problem has been solved.
Why is it so, can you please explain?

[JeffBezanson]

Changes to top-level definitions only take effect for code starting from the top-level, not for currently-executing code inside a function.

Thankx @JeffBezanson ...
Presently have been using MATLAB for the thermal hydraulic system modelling, but due to its towering matrix size around 50000x20, and even more after running the code, it's real sluggish. In my next project, I am considering a shift towards Julia......

If you can port the current codebase to Julia, it will be great to see how well it performs with Julia.

Actually, the program composes a fusion of Simulink and couple of .m files.
If .m files can be interfaced with Julia, then for the simulink part, I can think of hardcoding the same.

[ViralBShah]

Not sure how that would work, as I have no experience with simulink.

[ghost]

ok..but any idea of linking .m file to julia....

I'm not quite sure if it's what you're asking for, but check out @lindahua's https://github.com/lindahua/MATLAB.jl.
