"make install"
- document tricky trace script setting in regression test
- use tcl8.5 commands instead of 8.4 idioms
- don't build doc always, since it takes a long time
- documentation update and regeneration of html docs
- add all tcl 8.5 cmds, nx methods + info methods
- add missing tcl-keywords to nx-mode.el
- adjust style files for document generation
- added rules for generating pdf to ease release management
- code cleanup
- updated HTML renderings of examples
2013-06-06 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
nsf.c:
- fix a bug in SlotContainerCmdResolver() when NSF_MEM_COUNT is
activated
- fix a small memory leak for PER_OBJECT_PARAMETER_CACHING
- all cases detectable with --enable-memcount=yes are fixed
- fix git command in release instructions
- fix label for debugging reference counts
- updated TODO
- reduce variable scopes
nx::test:
- change test cases to newer interface
- don't use "namespace import nx::*" in test cases when not required
nx::test:
- use the standard configure interface for configuring instead of
own version
- changed from nx::Test to nx::test (user never has to know that
nx::Test is a class).
2013-06-05 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- Eliminate all use of Tcl_GetStringFromObj() function.
- fix typos, example code
- further release work
2013-06-05 ssoberni <stefan.sobernig@wu-wien.ac.at>
Fixed some typos and suggesting some rewording
2013-06-05 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- initial checkin of nx-mode.el
- preparing 2.0b5 release
2013-06-04 Stefan Sobernig <stefan.sobernig@wu.ac.at>
Left a to-do in the nxdoc backend
Completed update of nxdoc for NX
2013-06-04 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
serializer.tcl
- added flag -objmap to Serialzer.deepSerialize to make serializer
usable for copying (-map is to coarse)
- extended regression test
2013-06-04 Stefan Sobernig <stefan.sobernig@wu.ac.at>
Adjusted nxdoc for the recent changes to NSF/NX
2013-06-03 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
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
nsf.c
- fixed a potential crash for objects having a wrapper-less alias defined
2013-06-03 ssoberni <stefan.sobernig@wu-wien.ac.at>
nsf.c
- Make sure that the original error message is preserved when
calling destroy after a failed CMD or INITCMD
2013-06-03 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
nsf.c
- fixed a bug in "info methods returns" in cases, where no
returns info was available.
- we can "/obj/ copy" now objects/classes containing
* aliases
* setter
* ensemble methods
* method protections Instead of handling cmd copying in
NsfNSCopyCmdsCmd, it is replaced now by introspection.
- extended regression test
2013-06-02 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
nx::test:
- deactivate calling overhead calculation, since this is not reliable
(sometimes larger than the call).
- improved handling of required configure parameters when
classes are changed dynamically. When configure parameter
are defined required, checking for the absence of required
parameter was only performed at creation time. When objects
were re-classed or their classes extended with required
parameters, later calls to configure did not trigger
exceptions. Now we check for the existence of the instance
variable which addresses most of these points, but in future
we might wish a more general solution (see comment for
futures releases)
- when creation with an required configure parameter failed, delete the
half-baked object to avoid confusing states.
- nx::test: show msg at start of test file
2013-06-01 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- changed multiplicity of mixin, object-mixin, filter,
object-filter from 1..n to 0..n; rationale: when one has a
list of eg. mixins, which should be passed, one has to test
for the length before passing it, otherwise the empty list
would generate an error. Allowing 0..n makes the usage
simpler and the program shorter.
nx.tcl:
- renamed variable option "-config" to "-configurable" to make its
intention clearer
2013-05-31 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- traits: added ability to turn on verbosity for traits by using
nx::configure trait-verbosity on|off
nx.tcl:
- replaced functionality of "/obj/ configure" by "/obj/ info
configure" to re-enable semantics of the plain configure
method, even when called without arguments. "/obj/ info
configure" is actually a convenience method to allow to
write o1 info configure instead of o1 info lookup configure
syntax
package nx::class-method:
- convenience package similar to nx::plain-object-method
- allow for usage "C class method ..." in addition to "C object
method".
- made warnings configurable via nx::configure
class-method-warning on|off
- completed coverage and test cases
package nx::plain-object-method:
- made warnings configurable via nx::configure
plain-object-method-warning on|off
- completed coverage and test cases
2013-05-30 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
nsf.c
- fixed potential infinite loop in pattern matching for
precedence lists
- cget: make error message closer to tcl conventions
- extended regression test
2013-05-29 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- adapt to object methods
- prevent default value checking, when it is determined by a command
- completed coverage if plain-object-method.tcl
- provide warnings via plain-object-method.tcl via "nsf::log warn ..."
2013-05-28 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- 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 name clash danger (when application
stays away from variables stating with double underscore)
nx.tcl:
- removed "info is .." since it might raise more questions
than it solves
- changed enumeration values for "-source" in
"info lookup methods"
"info lookup slots"
"info methods"
"info slots"
from
"all|application|baseclasses"
to
"all|application|system"
for consistency with "nsf::my" and "nsf::dispatch" which uses
"-system" as well
2013-05-26 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
Traits:
- changed from traits-as-objects to traits-as-classes. This
allows for higher orthogonality of traits and class definitions
and allows in principle traits for object-specific methods (not
fully implemented/tested)
- fixed property/variable inheritance in traits.
- remove spurious debug line
Cleanup of nsfAPI.decls
- remove unneeded enumeration types
- use "typeName" to shorten reported names of parameters
- use camel case for reported names
- changed ::nsf::parametersyntax(..) to
::nsf::parameter::syntax(..)
- xotcl2: adjusted manual parameter syntax entries to new conventions
2013-05-24 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- added implementation for slots with traces+types for classes
- exception for incorrect defaults are thrown during slot creation
- extended nsf::is, added parameter
* ?-configure? -- accept configure parameter options
* ?-name /name/? -- provide a parameter name for error message
- simplified nx.tcl by using new nsf::is
- extended regression test
- added partly implementation for slots with traces+types for
classes
- fixed cases, where valuechangedcmd (and the other traces) did
not work with "configure" method. When slot traces are used, it
cleans other traces for the same operations.
- extended regression test
2013-05-23 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
nsf.c:
- fix crash when "nsf::my" is called with a single argument
outside the object context.
- fix assert
- removed some TODOs from tests/parameters.test
- parameter dispositions: We differentiate now between
"initcmd" and "cmd": an "initcmd" is only evaluated once,
but one can provide configure values for this parameter
later. a "cmd" is executed on every evaluation, it is only
possible to pass cmds to it. The trailing argument of the
configure parameters (used e.g. for scripted object/class
definitions) is now of type "cmd". Implementation not yet
complete (object cases are not correct).
- streamline documentation
C-code Generator:
- added "-typeName" for enumeration types that allows for
disambiguation of enumerations with different argument
names. Before that, the argument name determined the c-type
of the enumeration. Therefore it was not possible to use
argName "-type" for two different functions with a different
list of enumerators.
- renamed option "-methodtype" to "-type" in
/obj/ info methods ... ?-type all|scripted|builtin|alias|forwarder|object|setter|nsfproc? ...
/obj/ info object methods ... ?-type all|scripted|builtin|alias|forwarder|object|setter|nsfproc? ...
/obj/ info lookup methods ... ?-type all|scripted|builtin|alias|forwarder|object|setter|nsfproc? ...
- minor code cleanup
2013-05-22 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- streamlined AddSlotObjects()
- cleanup of TODOs
- nsf.c: handle full-qualified name for private slots
(AddSlotObjects())
- extended regression test
2013-05-21 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- updated next-tutorial:
* bring definitions of properties and variables up to date
* fix "object methods"
- XOTcl2: ensure public accessor when "-parameter ..." is used
- extended parameter extractor: new functionality
::nsf::parameter get default /parameter/ ?/varname/?
::nsf::parameter get type /parameter/
/obj/ info parameter get default /parameter/ ?/varname/?
/obj/ info parameter get type /parameter/
2013-05-20 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- hopefully the last changes for ?object?
method|variable|property: defined
* "/obj/ delete object method"
* "/obj/ delete object property"
* "/obj/ delete object variable"
- "info method syntax" returns now "/cls/ ...."
- "info object method syntax" returns now "/obj/ ...."
- updated next-migration guide to reflect changes from the
configure reform
- make name fully qualified for symmetry reasons
- minor cleanup
- nx-pp.tcl: fixed changed accessor handling, added cget to
highlight words
2013-05-19 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- added new regression test info-variables.test
2013-05-19 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
Method and configure parameter reform, Part 3:
- added
/cls/ info lookup variables -> list of handles
/obj/ info lookup object variables -> list of handles
/obj/ info variable definition|name|parameter /handle/
- nx.tcl: added forward compatible scripted implementation of "lmap"
- nsf.c: handle names for private slots in pattern provided to
AddSlotObjects(), used e.g. in "info lookup slots /pattern/"
2013-05-18 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- dropped "/obj/ info slot definition /obj/" in favor of "/slotobj/
definition"
2013-05-17 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- nx.tcl: handle "incremental" in slot reconfigure
- nx.tcl: change defaultAccessor to "none"
2013-05-17 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- Method and configure parameter reform, Part 2: In order to
streamline the interface further, we tried to follow the
idea to use "... info /plural word/" to obtain a set of
handles, and then a separate call to obtain the
details. Therefore, we replaced
/cls/ info slot objects
/cls/ info slot definitions
/cls/ info slot names
/obj/ info object slot objects
/obj/ info object slot definitions
/obj/ info object slot names
/obj/ info lookup slots
by
/cls/ info slots ?-type /type/? ?-closure? ?-source all|application|baseclasses? ?/pattern/?
/obj/ info object slots ?-type /type/? ?/pattern/?
/obj/ info slot definition /obj/
/obj/ info lookup slots ?-type /type/? ?-source all|application|baseclasses? ?/pattern/?
2013-05-16 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- Method and configure parameter reform
/cls/ info configure parameters ?pattern? -> list of params
/cls/ info configure syntax -> syntax output
/obj/ info method parameters /methodName/ ?/pattern/? -> list of params
/obj/ info method syntax -> syntax output
/obj/ info lookup configure parameter ?/pattern/? -> list of params
/obj/ info lookup configure syntax -> syntax output
/cls/ info parameter list|name|syntax /param/ -> value
2013-05-14 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- avoid crash in case NsfParameterGetCmd() is passed a plain value
2013-05-13 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- minor documentation updates
2013-05-10 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- initialize stub-tables only once
- syntax formatter: use /value/ for denoting placeholder in
"... info method syntax ..."
2013-05-07 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- parametersyntax: make placeholders explicit
- moved "/obj/ info slot definition|..." to "/obj/ info object
slot definition|..." for consistency
- provided "parametersyntax()" for "object mixin" and "object
filter"
2013-05-05 Stefan Sobernig <stefan.sobernig@wu.ac.at>
- win/makefile.vc: have the install target copy the public
headers as well
2013-05-04 Stefan Sobernig <stefan.sobernig@wu.ac.at>
- MinGW toolchains do not provide support _vscprintf(), so we
limit the use of it to MSVC; tested NsfDStringPrintf under
MinGW
- Provide tcl library path to summary.tcl and remove
intermediate file from repo
- Fixed the Win32 logic for computing the Tcl_DString in
NsfDStringPrintf(), tested for MSVC under x86 and amd64
2013-05-04 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- updating next-tutorial to object method syntax
2013-05-03 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- updated migration guide
- update to new naming
2013-05-03 ssoberni <stefan.sobernig@wu-wien.ac.at>
- Fix the 86-specific tests to reflect the object-modifier
reform
2013-05-03 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- try to print arguments in one sweep in NsfDStringPrintf()
- remove "extern" declarations
2013-05-02 ssoberni <stefan.sobernig@wu-wien.ac.at>
- Revised NsfDStringPrintf() for portability to
non-C99-compliant C runtimes (MSVC); remains to be tested
2013-05-02 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- first and incomplete update of migration guide to new syntax
2013-05-01 Stefan Sobernig <stefan.sobernig@wu.ac.at>
- Re-enabling deletion of intermediate file in makefile
- Remove legacy build artifacts
- Provide native Win build support for MSVC++ and MSVC, using
the Tcl 8.6 name templates. Tested using Visual Studio 12
(VC and name in version 11). See makefile.vc for build
instructions for Win32 and Win64.
2013-04-29 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- bumped version number to 2.0b5
- tested with NaviServer and OpenACS (new version of nx needs
as well a newest NaviServer, since ns_cache implementation
needs to be objectified; newest NaviServer version works as
well with older nx)
- fix xotcl instance method serialization (still not covered
in regression test)
- renamed "package require nx::class" to "package require
nx::class-method" in analogy to "nx::plain-object-method"
- added "/obj/ object variable" and "/obj/ object property"
2013-04-28 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
MongoDB
- added "nx::mongo::db drop collection /name/"
- returning status from "nx::mongo::db remove" as success (0 or 1)
- adjust to object interface
- reduce verbosity
- add error messages for slot lookup failures
Updated MongoDB interface
- upgraded to c-driver 0.7.1
- tested with MongoDB 2.4.4-pre
- new commands:
* mongo::run
* mongo::cursor::find
* mongo::cursor::next
* mongo::cursor::close
- adapted interface for c-driver 0.7.1 (e.g. new optional name for
mongo::index
- nsfPointer.c: add parameter to Nsf_PointerDelete() for
allowing optional freeing
- reduced default verbosity
- moved NsfConfigEnabled from nsf.h to nsfInt.h (no need to be
part of the public interface)
- moved NSF_ARGPARSE_* macros to nsf.h (since arg parser is
public and uses these flags)
2013-04-23 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
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 parameterization 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
2013-04-17 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- allow explicit unsetting of -per-object flag in 0-argument
-flag=value notation
2013-04-05 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- reduce variable scope
2013-03-25 ssoberni <stefan.sobernig@wu-wien.ac.at>
- Improved wording in comment on NsfConfigEnabled()
- Irgh. Had forgotten about two-level stringification to
provide configuration macro expansions as strings in
NsfReportVars()
2013-03-25 Stefan Sobernig <stefan.sobernig@wu.ac.at>
- Adding a helper macro NsfConfigEnabled() to test for
active/inactive build-time configurations; rewrote
NsfReportVars() accordingly. This makes NSF compilable under
MSVC (VC11). Thanks are due to Stephan Adelsberger for
reporting the issue.
2013-02-19 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- ByteCompiled(): fix indentation of preprocessor #if statements
- ByteCompiled(): ensure result setting in case HAVE_TCL_COMPILE_H is
not defined
- improve wording in rosetta example
2013-01-22 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- more code cleanup
- reduce variable scopes
- remove EXTERN declarations from function definitions
2013-01-08 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- Update to latest TEA.
- Follow new naming convention for auto-tools (using configure.ac)
- silence compiler warnings
2012-12-12 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- replace Tcl_GlobalEval by Tcl_Eval, since Tcl_GlobalEval will be
removed in futures versions of Tcl
2012-11-26 Stefan Sobernig <stefan.sobernig@wu-wien.ac.at>
- Checked built and test suite against Tcl 8.6rc2
(core-8-6-0-rc) under MinGW32; removed temporary fix for bug
#3401422
2012-11-19 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- quote filename in content disposition
2012-11-16 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- replace nx::configure option defaultPropertyCallProtection by
defaultAccessor
- protect trf against leading dashes
2012-11-15 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- deactivate tests in library file
2012-11-14 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- add additional "convertto" when generating zip files from strings
2012-10-30 Stefan Sobernig <stefan.sobernig@wu.ac.at>
- The asciidoc-related configuration artifacts, especially for
Tcl/NSF-specific code highlighting, are now contained in the
source distribution and integrated with the respective make
targets. Besides a running asciidoc installation, there is
no further configuration need. Tested with asciidoc 8.6.8
2012-10-28 Stefan Sobernig <stefan.sobernig@wu.ac.at>
- Extending test case to cover slotassign issue
- Adding a test and a temporary fix for the ::nsf::is issue in
setCheckedInstVar
2012-10-13 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- Make sure to NS_EXPORT Ns_ModuleVersion for people using
still the old-style AolServer module.
2012-10-04 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- make assumptions in code explicit
2012-10-03 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
nsf.c:
- handling of method names in error messages from nsfAPI.h. Make sure
that error message is generated with the actual method name.
2012-10-02 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
nx.tcl:
- property has now a boolean non-positional argument "-config"
/obj|cls/ property ?-accessor value? ?-config boolean?
?-incremental? ?-class value? spec ?initblock? in symmetry with
"-accessor" (parameter option "noconfig" is still needed to
flag nsf for variables that should be initialized, which are
not configurable
- "/obj|cls/ info slot definitions" returns a full command
(containing flags and property|variable)
- extended regression test
2012-09-30 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- remove debug output
nsf.c:
- factored out ParameterMethodForwardDispatch() to call a
parameter method defined as a forwarder the same way from
"configure" and "cget"
- extended regression test
- improve comment
2012-09-29 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- extended regression test
- changed name "/obj|cls/ slot info definition" to "/obj|cls/
slot info definition" since result is a set
- dropped parameter method "properties"
- dropped "/obj/ info properties" (since "properties" or "variables"
are returned")
nx.tcl:
- change parameter name in "/cls/ info parameter ... ?pattern?" from
"name" to "pattern"
2012-09-28 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- added functionality for "cget" to call parameter-methods (e.g.
"... cget -class"). The method cget calls either "/slot/ get
..." (when slot=... is provided in the parameter spec) or it
assumes that the method without argument returns the value
- added "::nsf::object::property /obj/ volatile" to query whether
a object is volatile or not
- "/obj/ cget -volatile" returns now the volatile state of the
object
- factored out ParameterMethodDispatch() from OConfigureMethod()
- extended regression test
2012-09-27 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- invalidation of per-object parameter cache
* on mixin changes and
* on deletion/adding of per-object slots
- deactivate PER_OBJECT_PARAMETER_CACHING per default (flipping
this parameter makes regression test more than 20 faster).
- extended regression test
- NsfObjInfoObjectparameterMethod(): return not only the first
matching parameter, but the list of all matching ones. The
last optional argument was renamed from "name" to "pattern"
accordingly
- rename invalidateobjectparameter ->
parameter:invalidate::classcache
- rename invalidateobjobjectparameter ->
parameter:invalidate::objectcache
- bring cmds into alphabetical order
2012-09-26 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- first draft of per-object parameter caching (for per-object-mixins
and per-object properties).
nsf.c:
- fix potential bad interaction between per-object mixins and per-class
caching of object-parameters
2012-09-25 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- don't blindly register all object/class methods for XOTcl
Property Reform Part 2: better handling of per-object properties
nsf.c:
- changed "/class/ __objectconfigure" to "/obj/
__objectconfigure" to be able to handle per-object properties
on classes properly.
- renamed "info method parametersyntax" -> "info method syntax"
- renamed "/obj|cls/ info method parametersyntax" into "/obj|cls/
info method syntax"
- replaced "::nsf::methods::class::info::objectparameter" by
"::nsf::methods::object::info::objectparameter"
- new command "::nsf::parameter::specs ?-configure? ?-noposargs?
slotobjs": convert provided slotobjs into a list of parameter
specs
- new command "::nsf::parameter::get list|name|syntax
parameterspec": convert parameter spec into syntax form, or
retrieve pieces of information from it (can be extended in the
future)
- added more or less generic list handling functions
TclObjListFreeList(), TclObjListNewElement() and
TclObjListAdd() used by "::nsf::parameter::specs"
- replaced "::nsf::method::property /obj/ -per-object /name/
slotcontainer ?value?" by "::nsf::object::property /obj/
slotcontainer ?value?"
- added "::nsf::object::property /obj/ hasperobjectslots ?value?"
nx.tcl:
- new info methods
* "/obj/ info lookup parameter definitions"
* "/obj/ info lookup parameter names"
* "/obj/ info lookup parameter list"
* "/obj/ info lookup parameter syntax"
- changed "/cls/ info parameter definition ?name?" into
"/cls/ info parameter definitions ?name?" since ir returns
a list. Still, "list" or "syntax" won't be plural
2012-09-22 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- renamed timing variable from "time" to "ms"
- added timing statistics
2012-09-21 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- generalize handling for per-object-properties
- added additional file for regression test
2012-09-19 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
Property reform part 1:
- disallow protection modifiers for "properties" and
add new flag "-accessor" to "property" and "variable"
This changes definitions like
Class create C {
:property {a a1}
:public property {b b1}
:protected property {c c1}
:private property {d d1}
}
to
Class create C {
:property {a a1}
:property -accessor public {b b1}
:property -accessor protected {c c1}
:property -accessor private {d d1}
}
since "properties" are always public accessible over the
"configure" and "cget" interface, but the accessors methods
might not be public. The value of the accessor might be also
"none" (specifying explicitly that no accessor is wanted) or
"", which means: use the default. Same holds for "variable"
- disallow parameter option "incremental" and change it to a
flag of the property or variable. The motivation for this is
due to the fact, that "incremental" is a property of the
accessor, and not of the value.
old:
Class create C {
:property foo:int,incremental
:variable bar:int,incremental
}
new:
Class create C {
:property -incremental foo:int
:variable -incremental bar:int
}
- disallow "public class property" and friends since these are
not needed
- removed parameter property "noaccessor"
- removed "nx::configure defaultPropertyCallProtection" and
method hook "__default_property_call_protection"
- introduced "nx::configure defaultAccessor" and
method hook "__default_accessor"
- for the time being, "defaultAccessor" is "public" for NX and
XOTcl, will be changed to "none" in NX
- extended regression test (new file properties.test)
2012-09-15 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
nsf.c:
- fixed parmeter syntax for required nonpos args
- deactivate deletion of methods via nsf::object::delete during
shutdown to avoid missing slot forwarders called from destructors
nx.tcl:
- remove debugging output
- renamed testlog file, remove it on "make clean"
nsf.c:
- made argument of cget required
nx.tcl:
- added Tk-style methods "configure" and "cget"
- added additional regression test set for cget and configure
nsf.c:
- implemented cget as a configure-like method, dropped ensemble method
variant
nx.tcl:
- simplified "/obj|cls/ delete method" due to resolving capabilities in
nsf::delete::method
- fixed regression test to run all test again correctly
xotcl2.tcl:
- made destructor of Connection more robust such it does not depend on
accessor methods.
2012-09-14 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
nsf.c:
- extended nsf::method::delete to handle ensemble names
nx.tcl:
- added tk/incr-tcl style cget methods on class/object levels.
- improve copy handling with other child-types of the slot container
working
- make sure to ignore non-slot-type objects in slot introspection
- worked on regression test until "methods.test". others are missing,
but maybe reconsideration
2012-09-13 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- updated 34 copyright notices
nx.tcl:
- rename the following internally called methods (not for XOTcl).
alloc -> __alloc dealloc -> __dealloc objectparameter ->
__objectparameter recreate -> __recreate
- from these methods, only __objectparameter is defined per default,
the others are defined on demand
changes to allow efficient tk/incr tcl compatible configure/cget
- refactored code to allow to parameterize handling of required
flag for parameters
- don't flag an error when configure is called on an
initialized object (logic: if the object is initialized,
configure must have been called before, and the required
action must have been already taken).
- rename nx::Object.configure to nx::Object.__configure to free method
name "configure" for an e.g. tk-like configure
2012-09-10 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- finalize transition from old code
2012-08-28 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- fix frame scoping for myvar/myproc
2012-08-10 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- allow to change title of a scripted document
- make doc beautifier more robust for invalid lists
- use explicit return in tutorial example scripts
2012-08-01 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- improve documentation
- use "nsf::relation $cl superclass" instead of "$cl configure
-superclass"
- minor documentation updates
nx::test:
- added summary at the end of "make test" via log file
- updated .gitignore
2012-07-31 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
nx.tcl:
- set multiplicity for mixins and filters by default from 1..n
to 0..n to avoid error messages, when e.g. empty mixin lists
are configured. Setting empty mixin-lists is strictly
speaking not necessary, but this eases the code in cases the
lists are sometimes empty.
- handle cyclical superclass/class dependencies during object
system finalize
- extend regression test
2012-07-18 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
nsf.c:
- ignore in internal calls to "dealloc" protection settings
- handle cyclical class dependencies during object system finalize
- extend regression test
2012-07-18 Stefan Sobernig <stefan.sobernig@wu-wien.ac.at>
- library/nx/nx.tcl: Following the code review, implemented a
first scheme for handling traces in setCheckedInstVar. This
gives us consistent behavior for defaults and traces
(valuechangedcmd) across classes and objects.
- tests/parameters.test: Adjusted the relevant tests
- Pending: setCheckedInstVar currently uses ::nsf::is to
validate the value (e.g., default value) to be set. However,
it might get passed parameter options which do not fit the
NSF_DISALLOWED_ARG_VALUECHECKED filter.
2012-07-17 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- define method "proc" of ::xotcl::Attribute in terms of
::xotcl::Object proc
- make sure to have gcc branch hints in generated code
- honor default type in "info slot names"
2012-07-17 ssoberni <stefan.sobernig@wu-wien.ac.at>
- 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 compatibility 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 compatibility
enhancements.
2012-07-16 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- allow instance property inheritance for traits
2012-07-11 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- Don't advertise to use "configure" method for calling
class/superclass in documentation sice we have better
ways.
2012-06-27 ssoberni <stefan.sobernig@wu-wien.ac.at>
- Replaced erroneous check using the object-specific rather than
the class-specific options in the query mode of ::nsf::relation
with class-filter. This prevented [::nsf::relation /cls/
class-filter] from returning any filter info. As a consequence,
the incremental interface of the filter slot failed (e.g.,
[/cls/ filter add aFilterProc] effectively reset the
class-filter cmd list instead of adding to it). Thx are due to
Markus Moldaschl for reporting the issue.
- Aligning class-filter and object-filter behavior on errors
during filter additions to the state-preserving behavior of
object-mixin and class-mixin.
- Adding basic tests on object-filter/class-filter (::nsf::relation,
filter slot interface) and specific ones to cover the above issues.
2012-06-25 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- added a SlotContainerCmdResolver() to avoid interaction of slot
names with names of callable tcl commands. Without the
SlotContainerCmdResolver() the call to "list" in a property
named "list" leads to a call to the container object
::Test2::slot::list instead to the intended ::list. The
implementation is not perfect, since it ignores the namespace
path inside the slot container.
- added regression test.
- adding gcc helper files to ignore list
- cosmetical documentation changes
2012-06-01 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
nsfShadow.c
- bump MethodEpoch when a tcl ::rename command happens on a nsf
method (which might be cached in a Tcl_Obj) This fixes a crash
reported by Arthur Schreiber nsf.c:
- make NsfInstanceMethodEpochIncr() and
NsfObjectMethodEpochIncr() accessible from all files using
nsfInt.h
- remove experimental code (backslash escaping for "," in parameter
option parse
2012-05-22 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- remove dependency of generated stub file from nsfInt.h
- fix compilation when dtrace is activated (missing parenthesis, many
thanks to Victor Guerra for noticing)
- document private properties in tutorial and migration guide
- improve wording in documenting
- extend regression test
2012-05-22 Stefan Sobernig <stefan.sobernig@wu-wien.ac.at>
- configure, configure.in: Under win, the CLEANFILES missed a
pattern for object files
- nsfInt.h: Based on the BUILD_nsf convention, the internal
header introduced a TCL_STORAGE_CLASS macro placing the
dllimport attribute (under Win/MinGW builts). As a consequence,
shared and stub builds ended up with function declarations
annotated with dllimport (which for these cases is either
unnecessary or even breaks builds because the dllexport
counterpart is missing, obviously). As nsf.h includes a sane
DLLIMPORT/DLLEXPORT handling (copied over from tcl.h), I simply
removed the special macro handling from nsfInt.h.
- NsfProcStub(): Use the EXTERN macro rather than extern directly
2012-05-21 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- added documentation for "/obj/ info name" to migration guide
and .nxd file
- adding more comments to examples in migration guide
- added design study ruby-mixins.tcl to example-docs and regression test
- minor polishing
2012-05-17 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- change "#!/bin/env" into "#!/usr/bin/env"
2012-05-14 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- increase backward compatibility for ::xotcl::Attribute by defining
the public methods "set", "exists" and "istype"
2012-05-14 ssoberni <stefan.sobernig@wu-wien.ac.at>
- apps/utils/nxdoc: fix shebang path to env ...
- generic/nsf.c, ObjectDispatch(): Re-arranged the handling of
fully-qualified method dispatches with the selectors resolving
to existing objects and, in particular, nested
(namespace-qualified) objects. Prior to that, dispatches such
as "::C ::parent::child" were not covered appropriately:
::parent was reported as valid regObj and so the dispatcher
continued to dispatch to the cmd "::parent::child" in the
self-context ::parent::child ... with unwanted side-effects
(e.g., XOTcl's unknown handling was bypassed).
- tests/methods.test: Added basic tests on the (current) handling for
such ::* dispatches and a specific test set on the intended XOTcl
behavior.
2012-05-13 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- 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
- allow parens in property names (array syntax)
- added "/obj/ info name" (as alternative to "namespace tail [self]")
- use newer style of tcl-obj interface instead of sprintf
2012-05-11 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- implement escaping for comma in value of parameter options:
escaping in values can be achieved via duplicating the comma.
- extend regression test
2012-05-04 ssoberni <stefan.sobernig@wu-wien.ac.at>
- library/xotcl/library/xotcl2.tcl: Provided a virtual slot
"multivalued" to establish backward compatibility with XOTcl1;
also, allow old-style class creation based on unknown for
::xotcl::Attribute
- library/xotcl/tests/slottest.xotcl: Added some tests on backward
compatibility for XOTcl slots
2012-04-20 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- explorative implementation of object method dispatches with
KEEP_CALLER_SELF and no NSF_PER_OBJECT_DISPATCH
- extend regression test
2012-04-16 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
nsf.c:
- refactor ObjectCmdMethodDispatch() for clarity
- prepare work on object method dispatches with KEEP_CALLER_SELF and no
NSF_PER_OBJECT_DISPATCH
- remove debug line
2012-04-11 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- fix off-by-one error
- add regression test for keepcallerself with and without
perobjectdispatch
- fix typo
2012-04-10 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- serializer:
* pertain perobjectdispatch and keepcallerself in serializer
* extend regression test
nsf.c:
- generalize stack monitor by handling growing and shrinking
stacks
- refactor into function CheckCStack()
- serializer:
* make [::Serializer deepSerialize -ignoreVarsRE "" $o]
behave like [::Serializer deepSerialize $o], since
learn@wu depends on that, and a value for ignoreVarsRE of
empty looks more like an omitted value than a regular
expression, that should match everything.
* extended regression test
- extended regression test
2012-04-05 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- added compile macro NSF_STACKCHECK to provide stack
monitoring/debugging (especially useful for multi threaded
programs, where stack is more limited)
- make ::nsf::log more robust for aolserver/NaviServer, since ::ns_log
is not always around when an output is needed
- don't hide call to make.tcl
2012-03-09 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- protect serial generation for parameters via mutex
- fix compilation when compiled without threads (many thanks for
r.zaumseil for noting this).
2012-03-05 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- tcl86.test: better implementation of method "each", cleanup and
extension of enumerator tests
2012-02-29 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- extended regression tests for yield
- implemented "next" for ruby-like enumerators (each needs still more
work)
2012-02-27 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- pass property name to slot "initialize" method to conform with
the interface to "assign", "get" ... (all these receive the
property name as well)
- allow slot "initialize" method to be protected (handled similarly to
"init")
2012-02-24 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
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
2012-02-22 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- Fixed a bad interaction between Tcl's apply (pushing lambda
frames) and the variable resolvers. The variable resolver was
not able to resolve variables, while the command resolver was
still working correctly.
- Extended regression test
- Improve wording in instructions
- Improve comments
- Documented dependencies between configure flags and feature
activation cpp macros
2012-02-17 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- improve error message to indicate, that nsf refuses to overwrite
(redefine) some cmds
- don't allow method to overwrite child object
- extended regression test
- documented new feature as incompatibility with XOTcl 1
2012-02-16 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- don't allow object creation to overwrite non-object cmds (e.g. procs)
- improve debug line
2012-02-16 ssoberni <stefan.sobernig@wu-wien.ac.at>
- library/lib/nxdoc-xowiki.tcl: Finished and polished the xowiki
backend for nxdoc. Some tests regarding relative paths and the
tree-view generation are pending ...
- library/lib/nxdoc-xowiki.tcl: Use the built-in base64 facility
if running under Tcl 8.6
- Due to re-introducing nested-object-as-method semantics
lately, nxdoc started stumbling over name conflicts between
nested entity hierarchies (i.e., the entity object
representing "/cls/ class info class" ...) and equally-named
introspection calls on such entities (e.g., a "info class"
call). I made these calls more robust my using -system
dispatches; which is fine as long as we do not have
sth. like "/obj/ info eval". Generally speaking, the risk of
such naming conflicts discredits the use of object nesting
in nxdoc; should eventually be revised. Or, as work-around:
Using a filter on Entity instances to protect/redirect
critical calls.
- tests/serialize.test: Added some basic regression tests, in
particular to challenge the filter options provided by
Serializer->deepSerialize() and Serializer->all().
- Included a test for commit 595e6a2.
- Along the line, two minor issues where fixed: 1) Set
Serializer->ignore() to public, otherwise the various
external message sends to this method would fail; 2)
Object-serialize() did not distinguish between serializing a
per-object or per-class container properly; as a
consequence, per-object containers were not restored at
all. Add a test covering this.
- library/serialize/serializer.tcl: Due to the split between
serializer and object system serializer, the ignore settings
(passed as object variables, i.e., ignoreVarRE) got
lost. This is fixed now ...
2012-02-16 Gustaf Neumann <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
- treating incompatible forwarding to slot vs. slot option
noaccessor
- extended regression test
- use Tcl's EXTERN macro instead of "extern"
