- Adjusted for multiplicity types - Added new templates: attributemethod.html.tmpl is responsible for rendering accessor/mutators for attribute slots, object.html.tmpl for objects. - I now render attribute slots both in their object parameter view & a method view. Furthermore, I distinguish between the incremental vs. ordinary interface (as requested). - Fixed div boxing scheme (again) - Adjusted various places (method.html.tmpl, submethod.html.tmpl) to display the status marks (more to come) - Streamlined the method views, introducing Type and Protection sections - Started adopting the /obj/ prefix in parameter listings - Made the @use mechanism working again (under validation). Once tiny bit needs to be fixed: The upward propagation of status messages if @use is in place. - Removed the cause for redundant validation calls by traversing the entity hierarchy only once. - Added nx-specific tracers (to distinguish between ensemble and slot objects, ...) For now, they work fine, but are tangled with non-nx tracing. This needs refactoring. - Added another nx-specific tracer which tackles the issue of the __resolve_method_path helper. While quite cumbersome and coupling nxdoc to many internal design decisions of nx, it turns any change in nx.tcl unnecessary. - Fixed ::nx::doc::handleinfo to deal with objects as methods (the case for intermediate ensemble objects). - Added ::nsf::setter support - Fixed the validation support for submethod structures. - Some cleanup (to be continued)
Accomplishments: - Completed a first version of the sandboxed (partial) evaluation of Tcl source artifacts (packages, script files, C extensions) based on a dedicated child/slave interp environment: see ::nx::doc::Sandbox; the test suite and the test documentation builts run on it. - Based on this infrastructure, we can now generate a snapshot of a program's structure to be documented (and contrast it to the explicitly documented structure). - Added simplistic css sprites for visualising the doc entity status (extra, missing, mismatch, complete); see also library/lib/doc-assets/status.svg and library/lib/doc-assets/status.png - The entity status is printed optionally along with the print name of an entity - Added switch-like parts to represent properties of doc entities: @deprecated, @stashed, @c-implemented, @syshook. The implementation and use of ::nx::doc::SwitchAttribute should be reviewed after having figured out how to proceed using "switching" objparams. - I provide a multi-property dispatcher as doc-syntactic sugar and for mere convenience: @property Various: - Corrected some div-boxing mess in the templates - Added a filtered helper to process entity collections - Made the mixin layer infrastructure more symmetric (a revoke operation). - Added tracers for ::nsf::method and ::nsf::alias (remains to be completed) - Renamed ::nx::doc to ::nx::processor and turned it into another mixin layer to trace the doc entity creation in e.g. readin() - Companion (*.nxd) files: Revised the handling of companion files. Temporarily moved generic/nsf.nxd in the top-level directory. We need to find a permanent place as its location is currently derived from the location of the shared extension. A candidate is doc/ but this is not linked to the shared extension location at all. - processor.readin() now returns a collection of entities created during its execution. - Improved robustedness and orthogonality: destroy hooks; the tag-dispatcher can now handle empty comment lines; when placing NSF object tracer, we now use the freshly added introspection of an object system's method aliases.
