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? ...

- 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

  1. … 2 more files in changeset.
- 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

  1. … 2 more files in changeset.
- 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.

  1. … 2 more files in changeset.
- 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"

- nsf.c: * added flag "-array" to nsf::var::set such we have now "::nsf::var::set ?-array? object varName ?value?" With "-array", nsf::var::set behaves like "array get" or "array set" (on instance variables) * use "::nsf::var::set -array" in serializer symmetrically to scalar case * extended regression test

- nsf.c: * report only fully initialized slot objects via "info slots" to avoid chicken-egg problem during method "objectparameter" * added flag -array to ::nsf::var::exists to check, whether the variable is an array (to avoid "o eval {array exists ...}" in the serializer. * provided flags to VarExists instead of multiple args * don't add new pointer entries in Nsf_PointerTypeLookup()

  1. … 9 more files in changeset.
- nsf.c: added cmd "::nsd::method::registered /handle/" that returns the object on which the method identified by the handle was registered, or empty. - extended regression test
