Commands I-L Group: TIP Implementation Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Donal K. Fellows (dkf) >Summary: TIP#214: Add representation subcommand to info Initial Comment: Add a new introspection command to obtain the internal representation of a variable. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2004-08-25 11:15 Message: Logged In: NO Detecting shimmering is certainly the most important usage. Tcl is famous for its rich introspection features. I believe that, if there's a simple means to complete these features further, it should be done. The internal representation is just one of them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Colin McCormack (coldstore) Date: 2004-08-24 23:17 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=19214 If the desire for this information is to optimise code by detecting shimmering, then it would suffice to create a well-known extension which provides it. Perhaps I'll throw a simple critcl thing up on the wiki. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2004-08-24 19:50 Message: Logged In: NO Donal, you're right, it's very similar to TIP#117. I didn't see that TIP. Nevertheless, I don't understand the reason for its withdrawal. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Donal K. Fellows (dkf) Date: 2004-08-24 16:29 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=79902 Looks like TIP#117 to me, which was withdrawn on the grounds that it would be more used than abused. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=310894&aid=1015338&group_id=10894 |
