* doc/Tcl_Main.3:
* generic/tclMain.c: Substantial rewrite and expanded documentation of Tcl_Main to correct a number of bugs and flaws: * Interactive Tcl_Main can now enter a main loop, exit that loop and continue interactive operations. The loop may even exit in the midst of interactive command typing without loss of the partial command. [Bugs 486453, 474131] * Tcl_Main now gracefully handles deletion of its master interpreter. * Interactive Tcl_Main can now operate with non-blocking stdin * Interactive Tcl_Main can now detect EOF on stdin even in mid-command. [Bug 491341] * Added VFS-aware internal routines for managing the startup script selection. * Tcl variable 'tcl_interactive' is now linked to C variable 'tty' so that one can disable/enable interactive prompts at the script level when there is no startup script. This is meant for use by the test suite. * Consistent use of the Tcl libraries standard channels as returned by Tcl_GetStdChannel(); as opposed to the channels named 'stdin', 'stdout', and 'stderr' in the master interp, which can be different or unavailable. * Tcl_Main now calls Tcl_Exit() if evaluation of [exit] in the master interpreter returns, assuring Tcl_Main does not return. * Documented Tcl_Main's absence from public stub table * Documented that Tcl_Main does not return. * Documented Tcl variables set by Tcl_Main. * All prompts are done from a single procedure, Prompt. * Use of Tcl_Obj-enabled interfaces everywhere. * generic/tclInt.decls (TclGetStartupScriptPath, TclSetStartupScriptPath): New internal VFS-aware routines for managing the startup script of Tcl_Main. * generic/tclIntDecls.h: * generic/tclStubInit.c: make genstubs * generic/tclTest.c (TestsetmainloopCmd,TestexitmainloopCmd, Tcltest_Init,TestinterpdeleteCmd): * tests/main.test (new): Added new file to test suite that thoroughly tests generic/tclMain.c; added some new test commands for testing Tcl_SetMainLoop().
