nsf.c: - define means to protect "undefined" internally-directly called methods __alloc and __dealloc in nx. This is achieved mostly via a an additional value in a method declaration in ::nsf::objectsystem::create. Example: -class.dealloc {__dealloc ::nsf::methods::class::dealloc 1} - extend regression test

nsf.c: - relax the meaning of noleadingdash to allow negative numbers - rename noleadingdash to e.g. nodashalnum

nsf.c: parameter passing reform - don't pass full argument list for filteing methods calle further methods from C (such as new/create/... ) to allow processing of e.g. "--" in "new" to separate arguments to "new" cleanly from arguments passed to "create". Now we can use e.g. "C new -- -childof 123" in case class C has a property "childof". - extend c-generator to accept option "-objv0" to pass the original "objv[0]" to the called command. Since we had previously "allargs", we have to pass the objv[0] now differently - more thorough checking ISOBJ(someObj) macro for asserts (use "assert(ISOBJ(someObj))" instead of just "assert(someObj)") - extend regression test

nsf.c: - added option "-dependent" to "info subclass" - extended regression test

- rename nsf::parameter:invalidate::classcache -> nsf::parameter::cache::classinvalidate nsf::parameter:invalidate::objectcache -> nsf::parameter::cache::objectinvalidate reasons: (a) remove single colon inside the name, (b) put verb to the end

  1. … 8 more files in changeset.
nsf.c: - added options to filter output from ::nsf::cmd::info parameter options (args, syntax, parameter) - deleted: - "/obj/ info lookup configure parameters ?pattern?" - "/obj/ info lookup configure syntax" - added: - "/obj/ info lookup parameters /methodName/ ?pattern?" - "/obj/ info lookup syntax /methodName/ ?pattern?" This covers as well - "/obj/ info lookup parameters configure|create|new|... ?pattern?" - extend regression test

nsf.c, gentclAPI.tcl: - new argument types "virtualobjectargs" and "virtualclassargs" for context-specific argument resolutions: when a context object is provided, arguments of type "virtualobjectargs" are determined based on the slots applicable for the object (like "... lookup ..."), arguments of type "virtualclassargs" are resolved against a class. These types are used as follows: /obj/ configure /virtualobjectargs/ /cls/ create /name/ /virtualclassargs/ /cls/ recreate /name/ /virtualclassargs/ /cls/ new ?-childof /obj/? /virtualclassargs/ This new feature allows us to provide better error messages and to make much of the "... info ... configure parameter ..." infrastructure much less important. - For "virtualclassargs" we need the functionality to obtain from the C-Code based on a class the configure parameters applicable to objects of this class. - add argument "-context ..." to "cmd::info" to pass the context object (so far the only place where the context-object is used) - object system configuration parameters changes: new: -class.configureparameter new: -object.configureparameter removed: -class.objectparameter

gentclAPI.tcl: - handle duplicated domains by folding these to a single definition

nsf.c:

- added command nsf::method::get.

Rationale: provide a central place to obtain information

about all kind of method handles, which might be

- scripted and c-based methods

- nsf::procs

- plain tcl procs

- cmds (with and without paramter definitions)

- make results of ListMethod() robust against missing

information (e.g. plain tcl cmds, missing object registrations,

etc.)

- factor out common code for ListMethod call sites

for per-object methods, instance methods and procs/cmds

to ListMethodResolve()

- return errors from failing converter registrations

- extend regression test (new test set nsf-method.test)

  1. … 7 more files in changeset.
- minor cleanup

  1. … 5 more files in changeset.
- added methods "info lookup filters ?-guards? ?/pattern/?" and "info lookup methods *-guards? ?/pattern/?" - extended regression test

  1. … 7 more files in changeset.
nsf.c: - fixed unary argument passing notation for "-nocomplain" of nsf::var and for 42 other options of other commands

nx.tcl:

- added flag -nocomplain to "/obj/ /prop/ unset ?-nocomplain?"

  1. … 4 more files in changeset.
- renamed nsf::relation to nsf::relation::set and added nsf::relation::get in accordance with nsf::var::get

  1. … 17 more files in changeset.
nsf.c: - added nsf::var::get and "::nx::var get" to provide selector based interface for variable reading (used in slotmethod get of nx::VariableSlot)

- cleanup of nx.tcl and TODO

  1. … 8 more files in changeset.
- add flag "-onerror" to nsf::forward::method to handle errors during dispatch of a forwarder (not all error messags of forwarder are already transformed) - added log-level Info which prints always, e.g. for "-verbose" flag of forwarder - drop setter-rule from properties (use always forwarder) - drop "/obj/ /prop/" and "/obj/ /prop/ /value/" in favor of "/obj/ /prop/ get" and "/obj/ /prop/ assign /value/" to achieve better orthogonality with e.g. incremental properties

  1. … 16 more files in changeset.
- let the c-code generator produce as well nonnull assertions

  1. … 3 more files in changeset.
- use nx rather than xotcl2 terminology in nsf::method::forward

  1. … 8 more files in changeset.
- deactivated "-onerror", since its semantics are expressible via try/catch, and there are no regression tests for xotcl and nx, and we could not find any script that uses this

  1. … 4 more files in changeset.
nsf.c: - invalidate paramter caches of subclasses on NsfParameterInvalidateClassCacheCmd unless during shutdown. Otherwise some classes might not become aware of properties added later to superclasses. - extended regression test

  1. … 4 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.
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

  1. … 9 more files in changeset.
- add parameter parser and converter to stub tables

- nsf: added switch "-checkalways" to nsf::method::create - nx: added switch "checkalways" to "method" and "object method" - extended regression test

  1. … 7 more files in changeset.
-added flag -checkalways to nsf::proc and nsf::asm::proc (for the latter just a placeholder for now). If the flag is used, it will cause argument testing independently from the "configure checkarguments" setting. To force argument checking always is useful e.g. for checking external values (e.g. in a web server)

  1. … 4 more files in changeset.
nsf.c - removed obsolete function AssertionAppendPrePost() - removed obsolete function NsfNSCopyCmdsCmd() and ::nsf::nscopycmd (handled now more general on scripting level in the "copy" method)

nx.tcl:

- "copy" method: fixed copying of class-level per-object methods

- extended regression tests

  1. … 5 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.
Cleanup of nsfAPI.decls - remove unneeded enumeration types - use "typeName" to shorten reported names of parameters - use camel case for reported names
