#2369 Tcl_TraceCommand docs not up to date (TIP 62)

[Don Porter]

TIP 62 added several flag values
for passing to Tcl_TraceCommand()
in order to do command execution
tracing. The documentation has
not yet been updated.

So, what flags are missing?
TCL_TRACE_ENTER_EXEC
TCL_TRACE_LEAVE_EXECOh, it looks like there's other flags
for things you can trace which are not exposed in tcl.h at
all! :^(
TCL_TRACE_ENTER_DURING_EXEC TCL_TRACE_LEAVE_DURING_EXEC
TCL_TRACE_ANY_EXEC
TCL_TRACE_EXEC_IN_PROGRESS
TCL_TRACE_EXEC_DIRECT
Don't know which of these need to be transferred to tcl.h
(and hence documented...)

Looks like TIP 62 only proposed
(and thus got approved) the two
flag values that are in tcl.h.

If you want to move other flag
values to Tcl's public interface
(tcl.h), we need another TIP.

Ick! The problem is the documentation of
Tcl_CreateObjTrace() in CrtTrace.3 (which is the interface
that you should use those flags with, not
Tcl_TraceCommand()) - not my maintenance area!

Any help available from
the TIP 62 sponsor? Or
the authors?

Dropping priority on this.

Experience has convinced me
this implementation is a big
mess, and leaving it undocumented
at least holds out the hope
it can be revised.

Besides, no one's jumping
forward to do the work.
