[Tcl-bugs] [Bug #131259] cmdRefEpoch not updated

[<no...@so...>]

Bug #131259, was updated on 2001-Feb-06 06:43
Here is a current snapshot of the bug.

Project: Tcl
Category: Namespaces
Status: Open
Resolution: None
Bug Group: 8.4a2
Priority: 5
Submitted by: msofer
Assigned to : nobody
Summary: cmdRefEpoch not updated

Details: According to the comments for the function TclResetShadowedCmdRefs
in generic/tclNamesp.c the following should not happen:

   % #define a namespace proc that uses the global command 'set'
   % namespace eval mig {proc test {} {set ::g 0}}; mig::test
   0
  %  
  % #define a namespace proc 'set' that shadows the global command; 
  % #the previously compiled 'test' never notices!
  % namespace eval mig {proc set {a b} {::set a [incr b]}}; mig::test   0
  % #>>>>>>>>>>>
  % #? Shouldn't the namespace epoch have been bumped up by the 
  % #shadowing, ? so that all procs are recompiled?
  % #>>>>>>>>>>>
  %
  % #if I redefine, and hence force recompilation of 'test', it is ok.)  

  % namespace eval mig {proc test {} {set ::g 0}}; mig::test
   1

Comment:
Sorry for the title, it is way too specific and maybe misleading! A correct
title would be 
* Incorrect command scoping *

I do not actually know if, in the example above, cmdRefEpoch was not
updated, or if it was but the bytecompiler ignored it.
