Tracking Tcl memory usage

2009-11-23T20:09:24Z

Hi,
I have an application that I would like to track its memory usage.
The problem is that there is a memory leak or memory is not being
deallocated someplace and I'm trying to find the culprit.
The application uses tcom to connect to Excel and to another DLL that
provides methods to read and process a particular type of file. The

No, the problem is that Fedora apparently arranged for Tk to be
installed somewhere other than where Tcl looks for its packages. Since
I'm assuming both the Tcl and Tk you are testing are under Fedora
control, this is just boneheaded.
OK, it looks like they revised the Tcl install layout and package

Yes, the problem was that tcl was built without placing the Tk library
in the
package search path (bummer).
My local fix was to create a Tk directory in the Tcl library and add a
pkgIndex.tcl file that contained:
if {[catch {package present Tcl 8.5.0-8.6}]} { return }
package ifneeded Tk 8.5.7 [list load [file join $dir ../..

Thanks for the note ... Checking ... Ah :( I put the code generating
the pkgIndex.tcl at a place where the file was not included in the
list of files which go into the zip. So, currently the fake index is
created, and then left out of the zip.
I'll see to get the fixed zip archives up into the teapot ASAP. Can

I just love your selective quoting of what I said to make your point.
The only point being that I don't understand something (something
which I am not even talking about).
Again, you persist in this nonsense about what I don't understand. I'm
not trying to distinguish subtyping from inheritance.
I also never retracted any statement about subtyping and

While we've got a few issues in this area, I'd expect the limit to be
closer to a thousand or so. 16 is... a bit low. Is this on a consumer
version of windows (where there is a registry setting in the way
IIRC)?

2009-11-23T14:39:44Z

is there a bug with tcl version on 64 bit that # of scoket does not go
beyond 16?
check the code below; which opens 50 connections on 32 bit machine but
stucks at 14/15 connections on a 64 bit machine.. ( change IP address
before trying the code below)
I tried with versions 8.3.5,8.3.2, 8.4,8.5.7- only version 8.3.5 works

IPv6 address parsing/ validation

2009-11-23T14:06:36Z

Hi,
I need the regexp for parsing IPV6 addresses in any string of format
say:
"machine: linux ip address: BBBB::DDDD"
The regexp should be generic to include all sort of ipv6 addresses.
Also more importantly one more thing is i need some function to
validate if a given input is a valid ipv6 address.
