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(). + 2002-01-04 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net> * generic/tclThreadJoin.c (TclRememberJoinableThread,TclJoinThread): |
