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

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 explicitely

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)

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

xotcl2.tcl: - made destructor of Connection more robust such it does not depend on accessor methods.

- updated 34 copyright notices

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

- rename nx::Object.configure to nx::Object.__configure to free method name "configure" for an e.g. tk-like configure

- fix frame scoping for myvar/myproc

- define method "proc" of ::xotcl::Attribute in terms of ::xotcl::Object proc

- 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 compat 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 compat enhancements.

- increase backward compatibility for ::xotcl::Attribute by defining the public methods "set", "exists" and "istype"

- 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

Fixed test case statement

- library/xotcl/library/xotcl2.tcl: Provided a virtual slot "multivalued" to establish backward compatibility with XOTcl1 - library/xotcl/tests/slottest.xotcl: Added some tests on backward compatibility for XOTcl slots

- don't allow object creation to overwrite non-object cmds (e.g. procs)

BEWARE: We are missing multivalued support in xotcl1 emulation

- fixed potential crash from method caching, when permissions on cmds are changed and become e.g. unresolvable - removed flag allowmethoddispatch, since behavior can be achived via private flag. - extended regression test

  1. … 9 more files in changeset.
- deacitivate for the time being allowmethoddispatch (make it behave always like true) - added instead new flag "perobjectdispatch" to make behavior of ensembleobjects configurable. - The behavior for keepcallerself is currently only activated for the method-interface for object dispatch, since otherwise the following would be dangerous, since "o2 foo" would destroy o2 nx::Object create o1 nsf::object::property o1 keepcallerself true nx::Object create o2 { ::public method foo {} {o1 destroy} } o2 foo

Extend handling of dashses in XOTcl's configure method to perform a more eager search for command begins (same change as in XOTcl 1)

- Added exerpimental object property "allowmethoddispatch" for child-objects to be called from parent objects via method interface. Background: both, per-object methods and childobjects are implemented via cmds in the same tcl namespace. Without special care, both are callable via the standard dispatch. Apparently, this is not always wanted. - handled allowmethoddispatch and keepcallerself in copy/move - set allowmethoddispatch per-default in XOTcl - removed visablilty of objects with "allowmethoddispatch" false in "info methods" and "info search methods" - extended regression test

  1. … 10 more files in changeset.
- simplified usage of ObjectName() and ClassName() macros (no caller parenthesis needed) - added exerpimental object property keepcaller self (currently only evaluated by aliased objects)

Bump version number to 2.0 to avoid confusions with the serializer from XOTcl 1

- xotcl/library/comm/Httpd.xotcl: force dates in GMT as HTTP RFCs require

nsf.c, nsf.h, nsfStack.c, nx.tcl, tcl-cool.tcl, xotcl2.tcl - fix spelling in comments - strip unneeded space
