Category: 37. Init - Library - Autoload Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Colin McCormack (coldstore) >Assigned to: Joe English (jenglish) Summary: namespace inscope regexp in [::unknown] Initial Comment: In the [::unknown] proc, in init.tcl, there's a regexp which attempts to match "^:*namespace\[ \t\n\]+inscope". DGP thinks this is to work around a bug in itcl. I can find no Changelog reference to it, but it is clear that the line predates November 2001. 1) If this is a workaround for itcl, shouldn't it be in itcl? 2) Even if this needs to be there for tcl, a [string match] would be faster than a [regexp] ... and surely the circumstances provoking the problem can narrowed down to produce a constant? Can anyone provide more background on this? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Don Porter (dgp) Date: 2007-09-05 12:46 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=80530 Originator: NO so did we determine there's no valid reason to keep this? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Don Porter (dgp) Date: 2004-11-03 16:37 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=80530 Itcl test scope-3.7 is related. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Donal K.
