<br>However, once we integrated ECL's extensions, these produce two object files, and I fail to see from your patch how the output files are handled -- from what I can see, since the OUTPUT-FILES method does not have an :AROUND, the output of ECL's extensions is not translated: they just take the source file produce a compile-file pathname and that's it. In other words: it is going to work, but it is going to have files laying around, both translated and not.<br>
<br>I suppose in your model developers are expected to integrate an explicit call to component-translate-pathname in every method they define for output-files.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<div style="word-wrap: break-word;">no, in that system instantiation protocol includes a step which (effectively) walks the model to compute a location for each component. <br></div>
</blockquote></div><br>Indeed, I find this an interesting approach, independently of what method is used for translation, but I see a problem if a user decides to temporarily deactivate translations or change the destination of a system. Right now it amounts to changing the translation table. With your model it involves re-reading and rebuilding the system and components.<br>
