* tests/*.test: Add 'package prefer latest' to remaining test files.

  1. … 32 more files in changeset.
nx.tcl: - make all __* system methods in nx redefine-protected - let "nsf::configure objectsystem" return handles and protections as well

  1. … 4 more files in changeset.
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

  1. … 9 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::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.
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.
nsf.c: - handling of method names in error messages from nsfAPI.h. Make sure that error message is generated with the actual method name.

  1. … 4 more files in changeset.
nx.tcl: - rename the following internally called methods (not for XOTcl). alloc -> __alloc dealloc -> __dealloc objectparameter -> __objectparameter recrate -> __recreate - from these methods, only __objectparameter is defined per default, the others are defined on demand

  1. … 6 more files in changeset.
- nsf.c: start all error messages with a lower case word for consistency and to follow closer to Tcl's conventions

  1. … 14 more files in changeset.
- rename "info method handle /methodName/" into "info method registrationhandle /methodName/" - rename "info method origin /methodName/" into "info method definitionhandle /methodName/" - added "info method origin" to return the target of an alias (or empty)

  1. … 19 more files in changeset.
- nx.tcl: * added protected and public for "require method" The following forms are now valid "... require public method" "... require protected method" "... require method" "... require public class method" "... require protected class method" "... require class method" * extended regression test

  1. … 3 more files in changeset.
- regularized more nsf::* names: renamed "nsf::createobjectsystem" => "nsf::objectsystem::create" renamed "nsf::unknown" => "nsf::object::unknown" renamed "nsf::dispatch" => "nsf::object::dispatch"

  1. … 17 more files in changeset.
- provided nicer registration and inspection interface for unknown handlers - added documentation for unknown handlers in tutorial - cleanup of __unknown

  1. … 8 more files in changeset.
- Use mixinregObjType as well in NsfRelationCmd(), so this is the only place, where mixin and guards are processed. - Since the type converter converts Tcl-Objs, we have less context information (e.g. we have no base class, on which we can decide to call e.g. __unknown on on of the objects systems). - because of the point above, i removed ::xotcl::Class->__unknown and ::nx::Class->__unknown in favor of a global proc ::nsf::unknown, for which unknown handlers can be registered - GetClassFromObj() receives as last argument "withUnknown" instead of baseClass to indicate, when unknown should be tried. - new function NsfCallUnkownHandler()

  1. … 9 more files in changeset.
- test.tcl: * don't export Test per-default * define Test as nx::Test * make Test parameter count 1 the default, change to higher numbers where needed

  1. … 15 more files in changeset.
- nsf.c: made potentially unknown clientData more safe (error message, when something is passed via clientData to a method expecting an object/class as clientData). - renamed NsfNoDispatchObjectError() to NsfDispatchClientDataError(), extended interface - Makefile.in: fixed name methods.test

  1. … 8 more files in changeset.
* Hopefully the last big naming change: Instead of writing "C class-object method foo {} {...}" one can write now "C class method foo {} {...}" to define a class method named "foo" for class "C". This naming change became possible by defining XOTcl's "class" (and "superclass") as object parameter only. To change a class of an object o, one has to use "o configure -class NEWCLASS". The term "object-class" looks alien to language beginners, the term "class" is much more straightforward. Changing classes or superclasses is seldomly used by typicall application programs.

For already existing nx scripts, changing "object-class" into

class should be straightforward.

* various documentation updates (migration guide, nx tutorial)

  1. … 22 more files in changeset.
- nx: * removed methods ::nx::Class.alloc and ::nx::Class.dealloc from predefined method-set

* added defintions such that these methods can be loaded via

::nsf::method::require ::nx::Class alloc

::nsf::method::require ::nx::Class dealloc

* make explicit that "method ... require" returns a method-handle

* removed misleading reference in error message, when a class-spefic

method was called on an object; solution is somewhat dangerous for

potentially unknwon client data

* added regression tests

- changed named of method handling commands in nsf: ::nsf::provide_method => ::nsf::method::provide ::nsf::require_method => ::nsf::method::require

  1. … 6 more files in changeset.
- changed named of method handling commands in nsf: ::nsf::methodproperty => ::nsf::method::property ::nsf::method => ::nsf::method::create ::nsf::methoddelete => ::nsf::method::delete ::nsf::alias => ::nsf::method::alias ::nsf::forward => ::nsf::method::forward ::nsf::setter => ::nsf::method::setter (updated regression test, docs, ...)

  1. … 24 more files in changeset.
- Make sure that DispatchDestroyMethod() calls as well protected destructors - New function NSCheckNamespace() as replacement for NSCheckForParent() - pass parentNsPtr around instead of recomputing it in NSCheckForParent() - removed unneeded argument from NSGetFreshNamespace() - switched to dstring operations in NameInNamespaceObj() (seems slightly faster) - factored out NSRequireParentObject() - by the measures above, we obtained some speed improvements - moved some more debug output to be controlled by the debuglevel - extended regression test with testcases for creation of parent objects via method "__unknown"

  1. … 3 more files in changeset.
- fixed langauge hooks for emacs

  1. … 12 more files in changeset.
