what happened to TABLEBROWSERDECLS ?

[Nick Briggs]

It looks as though someone deleted TABLEBROWSERDECLS without finding/fixing all the uses of it --

lispusers/migration/TRANSLATOR-ASSISTANT:                              '(IL:SEDIT-DECLS IL:FILEPKGRECORDS IL:TABLEBROWSERDECLS))))

lispusers/migration/TRANSLATOR-ASSISTANT:      '(IL:SEDIT-DECLS IL:FILEPKGRECORDS IL:TABLEBROWSERDECLS))

lispusers/FINGER:               (FILES TABLEBROWSERDECLS)

lispusers/FINGER:(FILESLOAD TABLEBROWSERDECLS)

What's this supposed to do now?

[Ron Kaplan]

There is a file library/TBDECLS in the Venue directory.  That seems to be what TABLEBROWSER wants to load.

I still have a copy if it’s completely gone from Github.

This:

commit 431d80fb3cd1a6f6a92b00b7d37eaed3326bd948

Author: Larry Masinter <l...@acm.org>

Date:   Fri Aug 12 11:23:40 2022 -0700

    Eliminate duplicate declarations for TABLEBROWSER record, remove TABLEBROWSERDECLS file (#877)

    

    * Eliminate duplicate declarations for TABLEBROWSER record, remove TABLEBROWSERDECLS file

    

    * change packages that used to load TABEBROWSERDECLS SOURCE to just LOADCOMP TABLEBROWSER

    

    * make sure full RECORD is saved

    

    * ARCHIVETOOL update of ARCHIVEBROWSER but no docs and looks like PARC-only

Hmmm.... Apparently this got approved without checking that ALL other files in the system that used it were updated.

Also, the documentation, TableBrowser.tedit was not updated to change the guidance for developers that says that one should add

    (DECLARE: EVAL@COMPILE DONTCOPY (FILES (SOURCE) TABLEBROWSERDECLS)

to the COMS for a file using it.
