Not sure, what's faster, resetResult() + setIntObj() or setObjResult() + newIntObj(). The difference in speed is most likely not significant. however, resetResult allows to append to the object, clears error state, etc.
I believe that either/or is OK to use as both will be almost the same as fast (or as slow). It is thus a matter of personal taste wether to write: Tcl_ResetResult(interp): Tcl_SetIntObj(Tcl_GetObjResult(interp), 1); or Tcl_SetObjResult(interp, Tcl_NewIntObj(1)); The only "problem" I have with the first case is that is pretty "weird", as lots of assumptions are made and code ist not that clear. But, as said, people are free to use either/or. I still have to go to tcl core-list and get this one straighten out, as I would really like to know wether: Tcl_SetIntObj(Tcl_GetObjResult(interp), 1); constructs can be used w/o a side effect. I guess, the main thing to ask is: Can Tcl_GetObjResult() return shared object? Cheers Zoran
