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

  1. … 13 more files in changeset.
nsf.c: - change name of enumeratorConverterEntry to Nsf_EnumeratorConverterEntry, move it with NSF_ARG_* flags to tcl.h to make it available in derived modules using the converter - Added editor hints for a more uniform appearance

  1. … 44 more files in changeset.
nx: - allow copy of objects with required arguments - use ::nsf::object::alloc in "copy" method - don't depend on method "trace", use directdispatch instead - remove method "-noinit" (nsf::object::alloc makes it obsolete) - extend regression test

  1. … 7 more files in changeset.
- nsf: added switch "-checkalways" to nsf::method::create - nx: added switch "checkalways" to "method" and "object method" - extended regression test

nx::test: - change test cases to newer interface - don't use "namespace import nx::*" in test cases when not required

  1. … 34 more files in changeset.
- changed multiplicity of mixin, object-mixin, filter, object-filter from 1..n to 0..n; rationale: when one has a list of eg. mixins, which should be passed, one has to test for the length before passing it, otherwise the empty list would generate an error. Allowing 0..n makes the usage simpler and the program shorter.

nsf.c - fixed potential inifinite loop in pattern matching for precedence lists - cget: make error message closer to tcl conventions - extended regression test

  1. … 4 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.
- changed enumeration values for "-source" in "info lookup methods" "info lookup slots" "info methods" "info slots" of "all|application|baseclasses" to "all|application|system" for consistencey with "nsf::my" and "nsf::dispatch" which uses "-system" as well

  1. … 4 more files in changeset.
- removed some TODOs from tests/parameters.test

- parameter dispositions:

We differentiate now between "initcmd" and "cmd": an "initcmd" is only

evaluated once, but one can provide configure values for this parameter

later. a "cmd" is executed on every evaluation, it is only possible

to pass cmds to it. The trailing argument of the configure parameters

(used e.g. for scripted object/class definitions) is now of type "cmd".

Implementation not yet complete (object cases are not correct).

- 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? ...

Method and configure parameter reform, Part 3: - added

/cls/ info lookup variables -> list of handles

/obj/ info lookup object variables -> list of handles

/obj/ info variable definition|name|parameter /handle/

- nx.tcl: added forward compatible scripted implementation of "lmap"

- nsf.c: handle names for private slots in pattern provided to AddSlotObjects(),

used e.g. in "info lookup slots /pattern/"

  1. … 7 more files in changeset.
- dropped "/obj/ info slot definition /obj/" in favor of "/slotobj/ definition"

  1. … 6 more files in changeset.
- nx.tcl: handle "incremental" in slot reconfigure - nx.tcl: change defaultAccessor to "none"

  1. … 20 more files in changeset.
Method and configure parameter reform, Part 2: In order to streamline the interface further, we tried to follow the idea to use "... info /plural word/" to obtain a set of handles, and then a separate call to obtain the details. Therefore, we replaced

/cls/ info slot objects

/cls/ info slot definitions

/cls/ info slot names

/obj/ info object slot objects

/obj/ info object slot definitions

/obj/ info object slot names

/obj/ info lookup slots

by

/cls/ info slots ?-type /type/? ?-closure? ?-source all|application|baseclasses? ?/pattern/?

/obj/ info object slots ?-type /type/? ?/pattern/?

/obj/ info slot definition /obj/

/obj/ info lookup slots ?-type /type/? ?-source all|application|baseclasses? ?/pattern/?

  1. … 9 more files in changeset.
- Method and configure parameter reform

/cls/ info configure parameters ?pattern? -> list of params

/cls/ info configure syntax -> syntax output

/obj/ info method parameters /methodName/ ?/pattern/? -> list of params

/obj/ info method syntax -> syntax output

/obj/ info lookup configure parameter ?/pattern/? -> list of params

/obj/ info lookup configure syntax -> syntax output

/cls/ info parameter list|name|syntax /param/ -> value

  1. … 14 more files in changeset.
- syntax formatter: use /value/ for denoting placeholder in "... info method syntax ..."

  1. … 11 more files in changeset.
- moved "/obj/ info slot definition|..." to "/obj/ info object slot definition|..." for consistency - provided "parametersyntax()" for "object mixin" and "object filter"

  1. … 4 more files in changeset.
- added "/obj/ object variable" and "/obj/ object property"

  1. … 8 more files in changeset.
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

  1. … 43 more files in changeset.
- changed name "/obj|cls/ slot info definition" to "/obj|cls/ slot info definition" since result is a set - dropped parameter method "properties" - dropped "/obj/ info properties" (since "properties" or "variables" are returned")

  1. … 8 more files in changeset.
- added functiality for "cget" to call parameter-methods (e.g. "... cget -class"). The method cget calls either "/slot/ get ..." (when slot=... is provided in the parameter spec) or it assumes that the method without argument returns the value - added "::nsf::object::property /obj/ volatile" to query whether a object is volatile or not - "/obj/ cget -volatile" returns now the volatial state of the object - factored out ParameterMethodDispatch() from OConfigureMethod() - extended regression test

  1. … 9 more files in changeset.
Property Reform Part 2: better handling of per-object properties nsf.c: - changed "/class/ __objectconfigure" to "/obj/ __objectconfigure" to be able to handle per-object properties on classes properly. - renamed "info method parametersyntax" -> "info method syntax" - renamed "/obj|cls/ info method parametersyntax" into "/obj|cls/ info method syntax" - replaced "::nsf::methods::class::info::objectparameter" by "::nsf::methods::object::info::objectparameter" - new command "::nsf::parameter::specs ?-configure? ?-noposargs? slotobjs": convert provided slotobjs into a list of parameter specs - new command "::nsf::parameter::get list|name|syntax parameterspec": convert parameter spec into syntax form, or retrieve pieces of information from it (can be extended in the future) - added more or less generic list handling functions TclObjListFreeList(), TclObjListNewElement() and TclObjListAdd() used by "::nsf::parameter::specs" - replaced "::nsf::method::property /obj/ -per-object /name/ slotcontainer ?value?" by "::nsf::object::property /obj/ slotcontainer ?value?" - added "::nsf::object::property /obj/ hasperobjectslots ?value?"

nx.tcl:

- new info methods

* "/obj/ info lookup parameter definitions"

* "/obj/ info lookup parameter names"

* "/obj/ info lookup parameter list"

* "/obj/ info lookup parameter syntax"

- changed "/cls/ info parameter definition ?name?"

into "/cls/ info parameter definitions ?name?"

since ir returns a list. Still, "list" or "syntax" won't

be plural

Property reform part 1:

- disallow protection modifiers for "properties" and

add new flag "-accessor" to "property" and "variable"

This changes definitions like

Class create C {

:property {a a1}

:public property {b b1}

:protected property {c c1}

:private property {d d1}

}

to

Class create C {

:property {a a1}

:property -accessor public {b b1}

:property -accessor protected {c c1}

:property -accessor private {d d1}

}

since "properties" are always public accessible

over the "configure" and "cget" interface, but the

accessors methods might not be public. The value of

the accessor might be also "none" (specifying explicitely

that no accessor is wanted) or "", which means: use the default.

Same holds for "variable"

- disallow parameter option "incremental" and change it to a flag

of the property or variable. The motivation for this is due to

the fact, that "incremental" is a property of the accessor, and

not of the value.

old:

Class create C {

:property foo:int,incremental

:variable bar:int,incremental

}

new:

Class create C {

:property -incremental foo:int

:variable -incremental bar:int

}

- disallow "public class property" and friends since these are not needed

- removed parameter property "noaccessor"

- removed "nx::configure defaultPropertyCallProtection" and

method hook "__default_property_call_protection"

- introduced "nx::configure defaultAccessor" and

method hook "__default_accessor"

- for the time being, "defaultAccessor" is "public" for NX and XOTcl,

will be changed to "none" in NX

- extended regression test (new file properties.test)

  1. … 16 more files in changeset.
nsf.c: - made argument of cget required

nx.tcl:

- added Tk-style methods "configure" and "cget"

- added additional regression test set for cget and configure

- rename nx::Object.configure to nx::Object.__configure to free method name "configure" for an e.g. tk-like configure

  1. … 5 more files in changeset.
nx.tcl: - set multiplicty for mixins and filters by default from 1..n to 0..n to avoid error messages, when e.g. empty mixin lists are configured. Setting emtpy mixin-lists is strictly speaking not necessary, but this eases the code in cases the lists are sometimes empty.
