- Addressed a number of issues in the NX slot infrastructure (which revealed themselves when running Mark's BusinessActivities implementation in XOTcl2 mode): - generic/nsf.c: Initcmd blocks (as set for registering per-class slot traces) were subjected to argument checks causing unexpected behavior (e.g., attempts of unboxing initcmds as Tcl lists or of checking initcmds against value types). This was fixed by exempting NSF_ARG_INITCMD params from argument checking in ArgumentCheck() explicitly. - library/nx/nx.tcl: For per-class parameters, the use of valuechangedcmd effectively overruled the default value specified (simply because the generated initcmd holding the trace statements took the place of the default value). While for defaultcmd and for valuecmd the parallel use of default is forbidden, the valuechangedcmd semantics allow for specifying a default, in principle. This was fixed by providing a default-setting statement in the initcmd. - tests/parameters.test: Added tests to cover the above (and beyond). - library/xotcl/library/xotcl2.tcl: Extended the backwards compatibility of the hybrid XOTcl2/NX slots infrastructure to the XOTcl 1 interface: This includes support for inline -proc statements and instvar. This compat level corresponds to the slot interface as documented (by examples) in the XOTcl language ref and the manual. - library/xotcl/tests/slottest.xotcl: Added tests for the above compat enhancements.

Most issues resolved, however, the ordering of default vs. traces is pending

- added documentation for "/obj/ info name" to migration guide and .nxd file - adding more comments to examples in migration guide

  1. … 3 more files in changeset.
- start error messages with a lower case word for consistency and to follow closer to Tcl's conventions

- added "private property foo" - extended regression test

nsf.c: - added object parameter option "slotinitialize" - renamed object parameter option "invokesetter" -> "slotassign" - call slot.assign instead of setter of object - removed restriction on nosetter/invokesetter: nosetter can be used in connection with slotassign - added regression test for slot.initialize

- improve debug line

- treating incompatible forwarding to slot vs. slot option noaccessor - extended regression test

- Bump version number of head to 2.0b4

- additional object parameter option "invokesetter" managed by nx.tcl This was necessary, since the previously implemented strategy called the setter whenever slot= was provided. This has the problem, that values could be converted twice (once by "configure", once by the setter method", which lead for the converter to a double refcounting on the value.

- make clear that "pattern" is an optional argument of "info lookup method" - make clear, that 'all' is a permissible value for nonpos arg "-callprotection" (several commands)

- Forward setting of object parameters to the slot object, when assign method is user-defined on the slot object - Cleanup and extend regression test

  1. … 3 more files in changeset.
- fixed potential crash from method caching, when permissions on cmds are changed and become e.g. unresolvable - removed flag allowmethoddispatch, since behavior can be achived via private flag. - extended regression test

  1. … 9 more files in changeset.
- deacitivate for the time being allowmethoddispatch (make it behave always like true) - added instead new flag "perobjectdispatch" to make behavior of ensembleobjects configurable. - The behavior for keepcallerself is currently only activated for the method-interface for object dispatch, since otherwise the following would be dangerous, since "o2 foo" would destroy o2 nx::Object create o1 nsf::object::property o1 keepcallerself true nx::Object create o2 { ::public method foo {} {o1 destroy} } o2 foo

  1. … 10 more files in changeset.
- Added exerpimental object property "allowmethoddispatch" for child-objects to be called from parent objects via method interface. Background: both, per-object methods and childobjects are implemented via cmds in the same tcl namespace. Without special care, both are callable via the standard dispatch. Apparently, this is not always wanted. - handled allowmethoddispatch and keepcallerself in copy/move - set allowmethoddispatch per-default in XOTcl - removed visablilty of objects with "allowmethoddispatch" false in "info methods" and "info search methods" - extended regression test

  1. … 10 more files in changeset.
- simplified usage of ObjectName() and ClassName() macros (no caller parenthesis needed) - added exerpimental object property keepcaller self (currently only evaluated by aliased objects)

nsf.c, nsf.h, nsfStack.c, nx.tcl, tcl-cool.tcl, xotcl2.tcl - fix spelling in comments - strip unneeded space

- nsf.c: fix call of DispatchDefaultMethod() in cases it triggers an error for 8.6b - nx.tcl: give a slightly better error message in case the root-object of an ensemble is called directly

- TODO: Noted down some observations, issues. To be reviewed. - library/nx/nx.nxd: Completed doc of ::nx::Object - library/nx/nx.tcl: While documenting ::nx::Object, I applied some changes along the way. For example, adding a missing element to the require() API, removing some unwanted params from the "info slot *" sub-interface, added some parameter types where appropriate, ...
