- get rid of ":::xotcl::use" - renamed tests based on next from .xotcl to .tcl - extended regression tests - use namespace ::nx::test instead of ::xotcl::test - use namespace ::nx::serializer instead of ::xotcl::serializer

  1. … 24 more files in changeset.
- provide explicit error message stating the "substdefault" is not allowed for setters - don't add "substdefault" a second time, in case it was already used - never add "substdefault" to methodopts - extended regression test

  1. … 5 more files in changeset.
- changed prefix from "::next::" to "::nx"

  1. … 21 more files in changeset.
- namespace changes: mostly due to marketing reasons, the naming of the top-level namespace changed from "xotcl2" to "next". reasons: xotcl is hard to pronounce for beginners, sounds like "exotic" (but who wants to program in an exotic language) has a certain stigma of strange namings (e.g. "instproc"), is seen as a precursor of tcloo, the top-level namespace ::xotcl2:: is not very nice either, the separation of framework and language is not clear.

We have now:

::next (the new object system, former ::xotcl2)

::next::core (framework, primitives)

::xotcl (former xotcl1)

- "::xotcl::use" no longer needed, use Tcl standard mechanisms instead

(e.g. "package req next"; "package req XOTcl", "namespace import ::next*")

  1. … 48 more files in changeset.
- ::xotcl:.configure: added option "keepinitcmd" to flag, whether or not initcmds should be kept as instance variables

  1. … 6 more files in changeset.
- fixed wrong name for per-object filter in RelationSlot - fixed condition in filter-incovation to top-level frames - added frametype to information returned by "info frame"

  1. … 4 more files in changeset.
- enable compilation with assertion turned on (via NDEBUG) - fix potentially uninitialized flags for ArgumentCheck() - some further cleanup, tested with 32 bit under Mac OS X 10.6

  1. … 4 more files in changeset.
- working towards KEEP_VARS_IN_CMETHOD_FRAME

  1. … 3 more files in changeset.
- renamed ::xotcl::valuecheck -> ::xotcl::parametercheck

  1. … 3 more files in changeset.
- renamed old "xotcl::is" -> "xotcl::objectproperty" - renamed old "xotcl::is2" -> "xotcl::is" - we have now is tests for objects in ::xotcl::objectproperty ::xotcl::objectproperty $obj object ::xotcl::objectproperty $obj class ::xotcl::objectproperty $obj baseclass ::xotcl::objectproperty $obj metaclass ::xotcl::objectproperty $obj type XXXX ::xotcl::objectproperty $obj hasmixin XXXX

- "::xotcl::is" is the higher level command,

supporting string contstraints "e.g. upper", user defined type checkers

and as well object properties (every parameter type supported for object

and method paameter). Examples:

::xotcl::is $obj object ?-type $type? ?-hasmixin $mixin?

::xotcl::is $cl class ?-type $type? ?-hasmixin $mixin?

::xotcl::is obj metaclass

::xotcl::is $num integer

::xotcl::is $string upper

- implemented 2nd level reference counting for paramObjType

  1. … 6 more files in changeset.
- Unified on c-level "info class-mixin-of" and "info object-mixin-of" to "info mixinof ?-scope all|object|class? ?-closure? ?pattern? The former "info class-mixin-of" is now "info mixinof -scope class" - adapted xotcl1 layer for this change - extended experimental ::xotcl::is2 to handle flags -type and -hasmixin ::xotcl::is2 <obj> object ?-type <type>? ?-hasmixin <class>?

  1. … 8 more files in changeset.
- experimental checking function ::xotcl::is2 implemented, which generalizes between ::xotcl::is and ::xotcl::valuecheck (it is a valuecheck -nocomplain with an ::xotcl::is syntax and switched arguments)

  1. … 5 more files in changeset.
- support for method modifier "object", "protected" and "public" for method "attribute". One can use now e.g.

Class create C {

:attribute a

:public attribute b

:protected attribute c

:object attribute A

:public object attribute B

:protected object attribute C

}

"protected" and "public" refers to the registered accessor functions

  1. … 4 more files in changeset.
- fix namespace in method "case" of "Test" - use Test->case for all tests in parameter.xotcl

  1. … 1 more file in changeset.
- new "Test case" method with initblock

  1. … 1 more file in changeset.
- new methods for MetaSlot to factor out common code: + slotName (to ease name-construction, care about slot container) + createFromParameterSyntax: essentially move from ::xotcl::Attribute to the meta class - test environment: make sure to avoid confusions between the "namespace" method and command

  1. … 3 more files in changeset.
- experimental: allow to show built-in types provided that a) slot= is specified explicitely, and b) the specified slot is not the default slot. This should guarantee that we do not interfere with the predefined converters for the c-level interface. - incremented ref count on results of all-level converter - extended regression test

  1. … 1 more file in changeset.
- ::xotcl::valuecheck: moved "-nocomplain" to first position (similar to e.g. unset)

  1. … 3 more files in changeset.
- implemented "info method definition|parameter|args $name" for settercmds (with parameter constraints) - extended regression test

  1. … 1 more file in changeset.
- fixed returned method name when setter was used on objects - reduce verbosity

  1. … 2 more files in changeset.
- added parameter "incremental" to ::xotcl::Attribute: when set, one can use "object paramname add|delete $value" etc. - use setters with parameter constraints in slot optimizer - as a consequence, setting attributes via slot names is about twice as fast as before, when parameter constraints are used. - extended regression test

  1. … 3 more files in changeset.
- added a "-nocomplain" option to ::xotcl::valuecheck - changed semantic of ::xotcl::valuecheck: per default, valuecheck raises an error or returns true. If "-nocomplain" is used, valuecheck returns 0 or 1 like implemented befor this change - extended regression test

  1. … 3 more files in changeset.
- add comment to converter, make it less verbose

- removed duplciate error message in "hasmixin" converter - fixed refcounting in converting user-types in case of errors - extended regression test

  1. … 3 more files in changeset.
- setterCmd(): Do not allow methodNames start with "-" - setterCmd(): Do not allow defaults for setters - extend regression test

  1. … 2 more files in changeset.
- Allowed parameter specification for setters. One can define now a setter with constraints like e.g. ::xotcl::setter o a:integer to define a setter named "a" for object "o" which has to be integer. - Extended regression test - Followed nameing conventions for several structures

  1. … 5 more files in changeset.
- fixed valuecheck in connection with modifying converters - extended regression test

  1. … 1 more file in changeset.
- made error messages for failed conversions more consistent (note that tcl does not provide the parameter name in the error message, but user-defined converters do)

  1. … 13 more files in changeset.
- renamed "::xotcl::is ... mixin ..." to "::xotcl::is ... hasmixin ..." (affects parametertypes as well)

  1. … 6 more files in changeset.
- move methodParameter checkers for "mixin", "baseclass" and "metaclass" to predefined. - deactivated checkMethods in gentclAPI.decls and in xotcl.c

  1. … 6 more files in changeset.
