Category: 47. Number Handling Group: TIP Implementation Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 9 Private: No Submitted By: Don Porter (dgp) Assigned to: Don Porter (dgp) Summary: Die Octal Die Initial Comment: At the TCT panel at this year's Tcl Conference, there appeared to be general agreement that it was time to kill octal. Here's a patch implementing that, so we can all be sure we mean the same thing. Note that this effort exposed Bug 1805887, which also needs fixing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Don Porter (dgp) Date: 2007-10-18 12:51 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=80530 Originator: YES Here's yet another patch, this one implementing "Option 1" as described in a message to TCLCORE. File Added: option1.patch ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Don Porter (dgp) Date: 2007-10-17 12:48 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=80530 Originator: YES An alternative proposal raised on TCLCORE is to revise TclParseNumber to simply reject all multi-digit integers that start with "0". Here's a patch that does that, so folks can try the concept on for size. File Added: alternative.patch ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Don Porter (dgp) Date: 2007-10-15 17:29 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=80530 Originator: YES Most of the patch simply makes various parts of Tcl ([file attributes -permissions], for example) continue to work as they have whether or not Tcl treats all leading-0 strings as octal format in an integer context. Committed that portion, leaving only the #define KILL_OCTAL change left to commit to actually kill octal ( along with suitable doc updates) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Don Porter (dgp) Date: 2007-10-11 17:57 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=80530 Originator: YES Updated patch.
