  1. … 4 more files in changeset.
- "info method syntax" returns now "/cls/ ...." - "info object method syntax" returns now "/obj/ ...."

  1. … 2 more files in changeset.
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/"

  1. … 7 more files in changeset.
- dropped "/obj/ info slot definition /obj/" in favor of "/slotobj/ definition"

  1. … 6 more files in changeset.
- nx.tcl: handle "incremental" in slot reconfigure - nx.tcl: change defaultAccessor to "none"

  1. … 20 more files in changeset.
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/?

  1. … 9 more files in changeset.
- 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

  1. … 14 more files in changeset.
- parametersyntax: make placeholders explicit

  1. … 4 more files in changeset.
- 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)

  1. … 4 more files in changeset.
- renamed "package require nx::class" to "package require nx::class-method" in analogy to "nx::plain-object-method"

  1. … 3 more files in changeset.
- added "/obj/ object variable" and "/obj/ object property"

  1. … 8 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: - 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

  1. … 3 more files in changeset.
nsf.c: - factored out ParameterMethodForwardDispatch() to call a parameter method defined as a forwarder the smae way from "configure" and "cget" - extended regression test

  1. … 3 more files in changeset.
- extended regression test

  1. … 1 more file in changeset.
- 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")

  1. … 8 more files in changeset.
nx.tcl: - change parameter name in "/cls/ inif paramameter ... ?pattern?" from "name" to "pattern"

  1. … 1 more file in changeset.
- added functiality 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 volatial state of the object - factored out ParameterMethodDispatch() from OConfigureMethod() - extended regression test

  1. … 9 more files in changeset.
- invalidation of per-object parameter cache * on mixin changes and * on deletion/adding of per-object slots - decactivate PER_OBJECT_PARAMETER_CACHING per default (flipping this parameter makes regression test more than 20 faster). - extended regression test

  1. … 4 more files in changeset.
- 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

  1. … 6 more files in changeset.
- rename invalidateobjectparameter -> parameter:invalidate::classcache - rename invalidateobjobjectparameter -> parameter:invalidate::objectcache - bring cmds into alphabetical order

  1. … 7 more files in changeset.
- first draft of per-object parameter caching (for per-object-mixins and per-object properties).

  1. … 3 more files in changeset.
nsf.c: - fix potential bad interaction between per-object mixins and per-class caching of object-parameters

  1. … 2 more files in changeset.
- don't blindly register all object/class methods for XOTcl

  1. … 1 more file in changeset.
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

  1. … 18 more files in changeset.
- generalize handling for per-object-properties

  1. … 3 more files in changeset.
