nonleadingdash handling:

3599

- doc: added "nonleadingdash" to UML class diagramm

- doc: added "nonleadingdash" to UML class diagram

3600

- nsf.c: added error message, when "noleadingdash" is used on

3601

non-positional parameters

3602

- nsf.c: use same logic for "nonleadingdash" to "value in argument"

* __unknown

unknown is a hook for Object but a method for Class

=================================================

3690

- nsf.c: extended "new":

3691

* nonpos-arg "-childof" accepts now a namespace

3692

(required an object before). Thefore, one can

3692

(required an object before). Therefore, one can

3693

use now "... new -childof [namespace current]",

3694

even when the current namespace is not an object

3695

3696

- nx.tcl: simplified ::nx::ScopedNew to ::nx::NsScopedNew:

3697

before it was necessary to create a new volatile class for every

3698

invocaton of contains.

3698

invocation of contains.

3699

- extended regression test

3700

3701

- nx.tcl: don't use mixins in method "contains", but remap the new

3704

of classes defined (the mixin paths for all classes must be

3705

invalidated). This might be a problem for frequent "contains"

3706

invocations.

3707

- bup version numbers for nx, xotcl2 and nsf to 2.0b2

3707

- bump version numbers for nx, xotcl2 and nsf to 2.0b2

3708

3709

- rename "info method handle /methodName/" into

3710

"info method registrationhandle /methodName/"

3748

3749

- Replaced hash-table for GetAllInstances() with a linear list.

3750

As a result, mass-destroy on exit is now much faster. Valgrind

3751

reports that the full cicrcle of creating 100.000 objects and

3751

reports that the full circle of creating 100.000 objects and

3752

destroying it on exit became about 15% faster.

3753

- added additional argument adEnd to CmdListAdd()

3754

- renamed CmdListRemoveList() to CmdListFree()

3776

maintaining the set of already processed entries in

3777

NsfClassInfoInstancesMethod1() and GetAllInstances().

3778

- extended regression test

3779

- removed "namespace import" in objectsystem test

3779

- removed "namespace import" in object-system test

3781

nsf.c:

3782

- Reform of subclass/superclass handling.

3783

* unifying transitive subclass handling

3784

* localizing and documenting caching of subclass/superclass lists

3785

* eliminating repetitious computation of subclass lists

3786

* refactored code, renamed some functions to better reflect their purpose

3786

* re-factored code, renamed some functions to better reflect their purpose

3787

* improved documentation

3788

- fixed a potential crash for class deletion triggering implicit deletions

3789

further deletions referencing the parent class

Currently, there are some inconsistencies when comparing activelevel

Approaches:

3872

a) Revise the current [current] subcmd scheme: callinglevel

3874

b) Provide a more generic, filter-based [current callinglevel] (?)
