Hi NWM!
Thanks again for your patches, you keep sending them, we keep forgetting them..
lol, I hope this one will get into SVN. maybe a
little modified.
At least, you seem to be getting the hang of Tcl, wasn't it easy? :)
About the fast loading, here's what I think :
Currently, we have this schema :
file1.tcl :
proc ... { }
proc ... {}
proc ... {}
if { initialize_amsn == 1 } { ... }
file2.tcl :
namespace {}
proc ... {}
proc ... {}
if { initialize_amsn == 1 } { ... }
etc..
what would be nice to have is :
file1.tcl :
proc .. {}
proc ... {}
file2.tcl
namespace {}
proc ... {}
proc ... {}
bootstrap.tcl :
proc init_amsn {} {
# here goes all the code that was in initialize_amsn...
}
this way :
1 - no more 'source' order being important
2 - all the initialization will be done in one place AFTER all the files were
source, so after ALL procs are already made
available
3 - easier to rearrange stuff since procs are all loaded
4 - less error-prone.
So, if that could be done, it would be great, and a lot easier for you to make
your patch work correctly!
p.s.: You know the amsn team is hiring, no ? ;)
