New feature: Added method nx::Object->"info consts"

A "const" is a variable that cannot be altered later. So far, such

constant variables have to be created via the Tcl9 "const" cmd, like

in the example below. The introspection method "/obj/ info consts" is

very similar to "/obj/ info vars", but it lists only unmodifiable

variables.

nx::Object create o {

#

# Create a "const" instance variable

#

const :x 1

set :y 2

...

}

puts [o info consts]

puts [o info vars]

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

nx::test: - change test cases to newer interface - don't use "namespace import nx::*" in test cases when not required

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

- nsf.c: * fixed a bug in "info parameter list|... name" when the named parameter is not found (returns now empty, before, it was returing the full list). * added flag "-nocomplain" to nsf::var::unset - nx.tcl * added "delete variable" analogous to "delete attribute" * unset instance variable for object-level "delete attribute" * extended regression test

- nsf.c: * added flag "-array" to nsf::var::set such we have now "::nsf::var::set ?-array? object varName ?value?" With "-array", nsf::var::set behaves like "array get" or "array set" (on instance variables) * use "::nsf::var::set -array" in serializer symmetrically to scalar case * extended regression test

- 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
