# This file provide a safe loading/sourcing mechanism for safe interpreters.
# It implements a virtual path mechanism to hide the real pathnames from the
# child. It runs in a parent interpreter and sets up data structure and
# aliases that will be invoked when used from a child interpreter.

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Using Interpreter Names with Namespace Qualifiers
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# (1) We wish to preserve compatibility with existing code, in which Safe Base
#     interpreter names have no namespace qualifiers.
# (2) safe::interpCreate and the rest of the Safe Base previously could not
#     accept namespace qualifiers in an interpreter name.
# (3) The interp command will accept namespace qualifiers in an interpreter
#     name, but accepts distinct interpreters that will have the same command
#     name (e.g. foo, ::foo, and :::foo) (bug 66c2e8c974).
# (4) To satisfy these constraints, Safe Base interpreter names will be fully
#     qualified namespace names with no excess colons and with the leading "::"
#     omitted.
# (5) Trailing "::" implies a namespace tail {}, which interp reads as {{}}.
#     Reject such names.
# (6) We could:
#     (a) EITHER reject usable but non-compliant names (e.g. excess colons) in
#         interpCreate, interpInit;
#     (b) OR accept such names and then translate to a compliant name in every
#         command.
#     The problem with (b) is that the user will expect to use the name with the
#     interp command and will find that it is not recognised.
#     E.g "interpCreate ::foo" creates interpreter "foo", and the user's name
#     "::foo" works with all the Safe Base commands, but "interp eval ::foo"
#     fails.
#     So we choose (a).
# (7) The command
#         namespace upvar ::safe S$child state
#     becomes
#         namespace upvar ::safe [VarName $child] state
