5 new [info] subcommand: formalargs - ID: 461635

Last Update: Comment added ( dgp )

Details:

[info args procname] does not return any default values.

One must resort to iterating over the results from [info args], calling
[info default] for each one, and build up a list.

It would be more convenient to have an [info] subcommand in the core that
accomplishes that feat.

I propose [info fullargs procname]:

proc t1 [list one [list two ""] args] {}
info fullargs t1 ;# ==> one {two {}} args

Date: 2001-09-17 10:18 Sender: nobody Logged In: NO I might suggest 'info args -withdefaults'. If we only examine the option when there is a 4th argument, there are also no backwards compatibility issues with the unlikely possibility of a proc called '-withdefaults'. -- Vince.
