- we must replace ::get command with ::set commands for reastablishing relationships

- renamed nsf::relation to nsf::relation::set and added nsf::relation::get in accordance with nsf::var::get

  1. … 17 more files in changeset.
nx.tcl, xotcl2.tcl: - use value=* as names for interally called and forwarder-called accessor methods - disallow "assign" for nx::variableSlots

  1. … 12 more files in changeset.
- reduce verbosity

- finalize dropping of setter methods for nx

  1. … 9 more files in changeset.
nsf.c: - fix case, where NsfDStringPrintf() failed (when print llength including \0 was 1 byte longer than print buffer) - make sure, that the list kept for the cached parameter is just built from unshared objects; otherwise Tcl append will abort

nx.tcl:

- new package "nx::volatile"

- don't define configure parameter "-volatile" per default;

use "package req nx::volatile" instead

- don't define per method "volatile" per default;

use "::nsf::method::require ::nx::Object volatile" instead

- get rid of -volatile in nx.tcl and serializer

- update/extend regression test

- restore traces after object-serialize

- don't rely on the existence of a "trace" method

nsf.c: - new command ::nsf::object::alloc /class/ /obj/ ?/script/? alloc an object and execute script in the context. Can be used to regenerate an object in a old state.

serializer:

- fixed loading of objects with required data in the blueprint

(many thanks for david hopfmueller for reporting this)

- make use of nsf::object::alloc (1 command instead of 1 create + 2 evals)

- these changes imprived laading time of blueprint by about 25%

for OpenACS+xowiki

- Tcl's "package present" raises an error if the package is not present

- fix object mehtod serializeExportedMethod: targetName might have been uninitialized

- keep packages versions from 2.0 and 1.0 disjoint

  1. … 28 more files in changeset.
- fix typo

- use tcl8.5 commands instead of 8.4 idioms

  1. … 5 more files in changeset.
serializer.tcl - added flag -objmap to Serialzer.deepSerialize to make serialzer usable for copying (-map is to coarse) - extended regression test

  1. … 2 more files in changeset.
- renamed initblock parameter from __initcmd to __initblock - renamed nsf::configure parameter from "keepinitcmds" to "keepcmds" - saving "keepcmds" in an associative array named "__cmd(/parameternName)" to allow saving of multiple parmeters with less nameclash danger (when application stays away from variables stating with double underscore)

  1. … 17 more files in changeset.
- C-code Generator: added "-typeName" for enumeration types that allows for disambiguation of enumerations with different argument names. Before that, the argument name determined the c-type of the enumeration. Therefore it was not possible to use argName "-type" for two different functions with a different list of enumerators.

- changed "-methodtype" to simply "-type" in

/obj/ info methods ... ?-type all|scripted|builtin|alias|forwarder|object|setter|nsfproc? ...

/obj/ info object methods ... ?-type all|scripted|builtin|alias|forwarder|object|setter|nsfproc? ...

/obj/ info lookup methods ... ?-type all|scripted|builtin|alias|forwarder|object|setter|nsfproc? ...

- nx.tcl: handle "incremental" in slot reconfigure - nx.tcl: change defaultAccessor to "none"

- fix xotcl instance method serialization (still not covered in regression test)

Object-method Reform: - changed interface to object specific commands by requiring an ensemble named "object". The rational behind is essentially to use always the same info command to retrieve object specific methods, no matter whether these are defined on a plain object or an a class object (does not break the "contract" what e.g. "info method" returns).

Now we define methods via:

/cls/ method foo {args} {...body...}

/cls/ object method foo {args} {...body...}

/obj/ object method foo {args} {...body...}

Similarly, aliases, forwards and mixins are defined, e.g.

/cls/ mixin add ...

/cls/ object mixin add ...

/obj/ object mixin add ...

/obj/ require object method ...

The same change propagated as well to the "info" method.

Now we have:

/cls/ info methods ...

/cls/ info object methods ...

/obj/ info object methods ...

Similar, the object parametererization uses

/cls/ create obj -object-mixin M

/cls/ create obj -object-filter f

/metacls/ create cls -mixin M1 -object-mixin M2

/metacls/ create cls -filter f1 -object-filter f2

- as a consequence,

a) "/cls/ class method ...",

"/cls/ class alias ...",

"/cls/ class forward ...",

"/cls/ class filter ...",

"/cls/ class mixin ...",

"/cls/ class info ..."

"/obj/ class method require method ..."

"/obj/ class method require public method ..."

"/obj/ class method require protected method ..."

"/obj/ class method require private method ..."

were dropped

b) "/obj/ method ....",

"/obj/ alias ....",

"/obj/ forward ...."

"/obj/ filter ...."

"/obj/ mixin ...."

"/obj/ info method*"

"/cls/ create obj -mixin M"

"/cls/ create obj -filter f"

"/obj/ method require method ..."

"/obj/ method require public method ..."

"/obj/ method require protected method ..."

"/obj/ method require private method ..."

were dropped

- added package nx::class to allow optionally the "class" notation

"/cls/ class method ..." (and friends, see (a)), and

"/cls/ class info ...

- added package nx::plain-object-method to allow optionally plain method

b) "/obj/ method ...." (and friends, see (b))

- add support to slots to use ensemble methods as setters

- serializer: * pertain perobjectdispatch and keepcallerself in serializer * extend regression test

- serializer: * make [::Serializer deepSerialize -ignoreVarsRE "" $o] behave like [::Serializer deepSerialize $o], since learn@wu depends on that, and a value for ignoreVarsRE of empty looks more like an omitted value than a regular expression, that should match everything. * extended regression test

- tests/serialize.test: Added some basic regression tests, in particular to challenge the filter options provided by Serializer->deepSerialize() and Serializer->all(). - Included a test for commit 595e6a2. - Along the line, two minor issues where fixed: 1) Set Serializer->ignore() to public, otherwise the various external message sends to this method would fail; 2) Object-serialize() did not distinguish between serialising a per-object or per-class container properly; as a consequence, per-object containers were not restored at all. Add a test covering this.

- library/serialize/serializer.tcl: Due to the split between serializer and object system serializer, the ignore settings (passed as object variables, i.e., ignoreVarRE) got lost. This is fixed now ...

- library/serialize/serializer.tcl: Remove uses of ::nsf::method::property to handle "returns", now redundant because "returns" are properly reported by "info method definition"

- Use directdispatch to query existing traces without the need of an extra method. By this change, the serializer works in constant time independent on the number of existing objects.

- rename "info method handle /methodName/" into "info method registrationhandle /methodName/" - rename "info method origin /methodName/" into "info method definitionhandle /methodName/" - added "info method origin" to return the target of an alias (or empty)

  1. … 19 more files in changeset.
- fix old typos (many thanks to Victor Guerra for noticing it)

- renamed "nsf::method::dispatch" to "nsf::directdispatch" - renamed "nsf::object::dispatch" to "nsf::dispatch"
