These are expanded into - the correct way to call that particular underlying function, i.e. with - or without a '64' suffix, and should be used by people working on the - core in preference to the API functions they overlay so that the code - remains portable depending on the presence or absence of 64-bit - support on the underlying platform. - - ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***: Extracted from the TIP - - SUMMARY OF INCOMPATIBILITIES AND FIXES - ====================================== - - The behaviour of expressions containing constants that appear positive - but which have a negative internal representation will change, as - these will now usually be interpreted as wide integers. This is always - fixable by replacing the constant with int(constant). - - Extensions creating new channel types will need to be altered as - different types are now in use in those areas. The change to the - declaration of Tcl_FSStat and Tcl_FSLstat (which are the new preferred - API in any case) are less serious as no non-alpha releases have been - made yet with those API functions. - - Scripts that are lax about the use of the l modifier in format and - scan will probably need to be rewritten. This should be very uncommon - though as previously it had absolutely no effect. - - Extensions that create new math functions that take more than one - argument will need to be recompiled (the size of Tcl_Value changes), - and functions that accept arguments of any type (TCL_EITHER) will need - to be rewritten to handle wide integer values.
