Slot trace reform: - redesign of slot interface of traces from * variables contains cmds and variable references to * slot specific methods with the same interface as slot-setters - new: * specify flag "-trace" with a list of values "get", "set", "default" * when flag is set, a trace will be registered calling methods value=get obj variable value=set obj variable value value=default obj variable on the slot (actually the first two are identical with the methods used for slot-defined accessors) - updated regression test * new flag "-notrace" for "nsf::var::set" and "nsf::var::get"

- Fixed a bug that disallowed the combination of valuecmd and valuechangedcmd for a single property (many thanks to Zoran for pointing this out)

Removed implicit substdefault for configure parameters in nx:

- The syntax of substdefault for method parameters and configure

parameters was different. For method parameters, it was necessary to

specify :substdefault per parameter to activate it, for configure

parameter is was based in the XOTcl tradition on the content of the

default (whether it contains [...]) One problem is, that there was

no easy way to turn this feature off. If one wants to provide a

script block as a default, it was necessary to escape all square

brackets.

- Now, in nx, one has to specify :substdefault for configure

parameter explicitly as well, syntax for configure and method

parameters is the same.

- XOTcl 2.0 keeps implicit substdefaults (backward compatible)

- fix bug: never try to substdefault, when there is no default given.

nsf.c: - fix case, where NsfDStringPrintf() failed (when print llength including \0 was 1 byte longer than print buffer) - make sure, that the list kept for the cached parameter is just built from unshared objects; otherwise Tcl append will abort

nx.tcl:

- new package "nx::volatile"

- don't define configure parameter "-volatile" per default;

use "package req nx::volatile" instead

- don't define per method "volatile" per default;

use "::nsf::method::require ::nx::Object volatile" instead

- get rid of -volatile in nx.tcl and serializer

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

/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

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: - 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.
- 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

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)
