- rename xotcl1.xotcl to xotcl.tcl - some cleanup (version variables, etc.) in xotcl.tcl

  1. … 3 more files in changeset.
- Implemented "Class info parameter" in Tcl, aliases for xotcl. Now both definition of parameters and setting of __parameter are in Tcl.

  1. … 6 more files in changeset.
- removed "[o exists varname]" from next scripting language

  1. … 6 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.
- provide prefix for internally called methods to distinguish between methods called on objects or classes

  1. … 5 more files in changeset.
- eliminated XOTE___UNKNOWN - renamed __unknown to requireobject

  1. … 5 more files in changeset.
- created new functions: ObjectSystemFree(), ObjectSystemAdd(), ObjectSystemsCheckSystemMethod(), ObjectSystemsCleanup(), GetObjectSystem(), CallDirectly() for better separation of systems. We keep track which essential system methods are defined and which which methods are potentially overloaded.

  1. … 2 more files in changeset.
- defined "info is" as alias of "::xotcl::objectproperty"

  1. … 2 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.
- 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.
- refactor Slot class hierarchie - new methods in ObjectParameterSlot "toParameterSyntax" and "createFromParameterSyntax" - some more cleanup - removed legacy syntax for "-parmeters"

  1. … 7 more files in changeset.
- cleanup of legacy stuff in slot management. * merged InfoSlot and InterceptorSlot into RelationSlot * get rid of legacy "mixin set ...." command - renamed "parameterSlot" into "methodParameterSlot" to avoid potential confusions

  1. … 6 more files in changeset.
- define everything concerning basic slot setup in a single "namespace eval ::xotcl {...}" - undefine ::xotcl::createBootstrapAttributeSlots after this block - fix default DefaultSuperClass() with isMeta==1 in cases, where we are already at the root meta class - use "-parameter" in xotcl1 instead of createBootstrapAttributeSlots

  1. … 3 more files in changeset.
- experimental change of resolver name prefix char from dot to single colon

  1. … 16 more files in changeset.
- extended migration guide - defined eval in predefined via "-nonleaf", used at various places - added "info mixinof ?-scope all|object|class? ?pattern?", dropped "object-mixin-of" and "class-mixin-on" from registerd method - extended regression test - xotcl1: make "-volatile" invoked via unknown behave correctly

  1. … 5 more files in changeset.
- added option "objectsystems" to ::xotcl::configure to obtain the currently defined object systems - added option "baseclass" to ::xotcl::is to check, whether a class is a baseclass of an object system (root class or root meta-class of object system) - changed result of "... info methods -methodtype scripted" to return only truely scripted methods (no aliases) - some more cleanup in regression tests - first version of serializer for xotcl1 + xotcl2

  1. … 9 more files in changeset.
- added "info method" to migration guide

  1. … 1 more file in changeset.
- added option "-application" to "info callable" to omit methods from base classes - extended regression test - changed naming of methodtype "system" to "builtin" - added "info methods" to migration guide

  1. … 6 more files in changeset.
- changed resultss of "filtersearch" and "self next" to new naming Caveat: for xotcl1, there is no mapping for the names to the old style in "self next" and "self filterreg" - backwards compatible mapping of filterseach in xotcl1

  1. … 5 more files in changeset.
- moved "-per-object" consequently immediately after obj in the following commands : ::xotcl::alias, ::xotcl::methodproperty, ::xotcl::setter to achiev conformance with ::xotcl::forward and ::xotcl::method

  1. … 7 more files in changeset.
- added ::xotcl::forward as cmd instead of method now, all method-defining-methods (alias, method, forward, setter) are defined as cmds (this should make life of serializer easier)

  1. … 6 more files in changeset.
- added ::xotcl::method as cmd instead of methods object-method and class-method

  1. … 5 more files in changeset.
- changed assertions: old (xotcl1) interface: 3 methods + 3 info methods * <object> check Options * <object> info check * <object> invar Conditions * <object> info invar * <class> instinvar Conditions * <class> info instinvar

new (xotcl2) interface: 1 cmd (similar to ::xotcl::relation)

::xotcl::assertion check|object-invar|class-invar ?arg?

- added emulation for xotcl1

- deleted namespecific C macros:

isInfoString, isInstinvarString, isInvarString, isInstprocString, isProcString

  1. … 9 more files in changeset.
- renamed "ClassName info instmixinof ?-closure? ?pattern?" into "ClassName info class-mixin-of ?-closure? ?pattern?" - renamed "ClassName info mixinof ?-closure? ?pattern?" into "ClassName info object-mixin-of ?-closure? ?pattern?" - added emulation "ClassName info instmixinof|mixinof" for xotcl1

  1. … 3 more files in changeset.
- new subcommand "... info method body ..." to avoid to relay on syntax of "info method definition" in xotcl1 compatibility

  1. … 4 more files in changeset.
- removed -per-object from ::xotcl::relation - removed -per-object from methods "mixinguard" and "filterguard" - removed -per-object from methods "alias" and "method" - added "... object filterguard ..." and "... object mixinguard ..." - implemented "info method definition" with "object" modifier - extended regression test

  1. … 9 more files in changeset.
- added "<Class> object filter" and "<Class> object mixin" - use explicit "(object|class)-(mixin|filter)" relations in ::xotcl::relation - removed "-per-object" from all user-level relation commands (::xotcl::relation has still "-per-object"), but it is not needed anymore - register slots "object-mixin" and "object-filter" for conveniance to allow object-filter and object-mixins via configuration via object parameter
