The C integral types for which Tcl +provides value exchange routines are \fBint\fR, \fBlong int\fR, +\fBTcl_WideInt\fR, and \fBmp_int\fR. The \fBint\fR and \fBlong int\fR types +are provided by the C language standard. The \fBTcl_WideInt\fR type is a +typedef defined to be whatever signed integral type covers at least the +64-bit integer range (-9223372036854775809 to 9223372036854775807). Depending +on the platform and the C compiler, the actual type might be +\fBlong int\fR, \fBlong long int\fR, \fBint64\fR, or something else. +The \fBmp_int\fR type is a multiple-precision integer type defined +by the LibTomMath multiple-precision integer library. +.PP +The \fBTcl_NewIntObj\fR, \fBTcl_NewLongObj\fR, \fBTcl_NewWideIntObj\fR, +and \fBTcl_NewBignumObj\fR routines each create and return a new +Tcl object initialized to the integral value of the argument. The +returned Tcl object is unshared. +.PP +The \fBTcl_SetIntObj\fR, \fBTcl_SetLongObj\fR, \fBTcl_SetWideIntObj\fR, +and \fBTcl_SetBignumObj\fR routines each set the value of an existing +\fBTcl_Obj\fR pointed to by \fIobjPtr\fR to the integral value provided +by the other argument. The \fIobjPtr\fR argument must point to an +unshared Tcl object. Any attempt to set the value of a shared Tcl object +violates Tcl's copy-on-write policy. Any existing string representation +or internal representation in the unshared Tcl object will be freed +as a consequence of setting the new value. +.PP +The \fBTcl_GetIntFromObj\fR, \fBTcl_GetLongFromObj\fR, +\fBTcl_GetWideIntFromObj\fR, \fBTcl_GetBignumFromObj\fR, and +\fBTcl_GetBignumAndClearObj\fR attempt to retrieve an integral value +of the appropriate type from the Tcl object \fIobjPtr\fR. If the +attempt succeeds, then \fBTCL_OK\fR is returned, and the value is +written to the storage provided by the caller. The attempt might +fail if \fIobjPtr\fR does not hold an integral value, or if the +value exceeds the range of the target type. If the attempt fails, +then \fBTCL_ERROR\fR is returned, and if \fIinterp\fR is non-NULL, +an error message is left in \fIinterp\fR. The \fBTcl_ObjType\fR +of \fIobjPtr\fR may be changed to make subsequent calls to the +same routine more efficient. .PP -\fBTcl_GetIntFromObj\fR and \fBTcl_GetLongFromObj\fR -attempt to return an integer value from the Tcl object \fIobjPtr\fR, -and \fBTcl_GetWideIntFromObj\fR attempts to return a wide integer -value from the Tcl object \fIobjPtr\fR. -If the object is not already an integer object, -or a wide integer object in the case of \fBTcl_GetWideIntFromObj\fR -they will attempt to convert it to one. -If an error occurs during conversion, they return \fBTCL_ERROR\fR -and leave an error message in the interpreter's result object -unless \fIinterp\fR is NULL. -Also, if the long integer held in the object's internal representation -\fIlongValue\fR member can not be represented in a (non-long) integer, -\fBTcl_GetIntFromObj\fR returns \fBTCL_ERROR\fR -and leaves an error message in the interpreter's result object -unless \fIinterp\fR is NULL. -Otherwise, all three procedures return \fBTCL_OK\fR and -store the integer, long integer value -or wide integer in the address given by \fIintPtr\fR, \fIlongPtr\fR -and \fIwidePtr\fR -respectively. If the object is not already an integer or wide integer -object, the conversion will free any old internal representation. +The choice between \fBTcl_GetBignumFromObj\fR and +\fBTcl_GetBignumAndClearObj\fR is governed by how the caller will +continue to use \fIobjPtr\fR.

If +\fIobjPtr\fR is shared, or if anything later in the caller requires +\fIobjPtr\fR to continue to hold the same value, then +\fBTcl_GetBignumFromObj\fR must be chosen. +.VE 8.5 .SH "SEE ALSO" Tcl_NewObj, Tcl_DecrRefCount, Tcl_IncrRefCount, Tcl_GetObjResult diff --git a/doc/Object.3 b/doc/Object.3 index 8f8c9ef..f63875e 100644 --- a/doc/Object.3 +++ b/doc/Object.3 @@ -4,10 +4,10 @@ '\" See the file "license.terms" for information on usage and redistribution '\" of this file, and for a DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES.
