This part could be optimized + more by using more memory to keep all possibilities which occur + around, or by just adjusting the location information instead of a + total recompile. + + Reworked the handling of literal command arguments in bytecode to be + saved (compiler) and used (execution) per command (See the + TCL_INVOKE_STK* instructions), and not per the whole bytecode. This, + and the previous change remove the problems with location data caused + by literal sharing (across whole files, but also proc bodies). + Simplified the associated datastructures (ExtIndex is gone, as is the + function EnterCmdWordIndex). + + The last change causes the hashtable 'lineLABCPtr' to be state which + has to be kept per coroutine, like the CmdFrame stack. Reworked the + coroutine support code to create, delete and switch the information as + needed. Further reworked the tailcall command as well, it has to pop + its own arguments when run in a bytecode context to keep a proper + stack in 'lineLABCPtr'. + + Fixed the mishandling of line information in the NRE-enabled 'for' and + 'while' commands introduced when both were made to share their + iteration callbacks without taking into account that the loop body is + found in different words of the command. Introduced a separate data + structure to hold all the callback information, as we went over the + limit of 4 direct client-data values for NRE callbacks. + + The above fixes [Bug 1605269]. + +2009-07-12 Donal K.
