State of ParTcl [r8149]

[William Coleda]

With Leo's recent fixes to <compile>, the following now works:

.sub main @MAIN

load_bytecode "languages/tcl/lib/tcllib.pbc"

.local pmc tcl_compiler,compiled_sub

tcl_compiler = compreg "TCL"

compiled_sub = compile tcl_compiler, "puts {ok 1}"
compiled_sub()
.end

Additionally, at Leo's suggestion, I've just removed quite a bit of duplicated code from languages/tcl/classes/ - now that multiple inheritance is working, we can simply inherit these methods. There are some methods that are still there that I don't think are tcl-specific - if anyone can do more cleanup here (esp. in tcllist.pmc), I'd appreciate it.

I currently have one failing test (cmd_continue, test 2) - this is, I think, the same test that leo had been reporting as failing for a while. I have some other pending code which seems to be tickling this GC bug. Hopefully I'll be able to track this down.

Thanks very much to Matt for his recent checkins, cleaning up tclparser.pmc, and eliminating a bit of unnecessary code.

The compiler broke after some recent checkins (not Matt's fault). I've added a test for this which is now passing, which should hopefully *keep* it passing. =-)

With Matt's recent cleanup to tclparser, I'm now seeing 100% success on the tcl test suite. Even

env TEST_PROG_ARGS=--gc-debug make test

is working:

All tests successful.
Files=39, Tests=236, 70 wallclock secs (29.83 cusr + 14.04 csys = 43.87 CPU)

I've also added tests for inline (unique to ParTcl), which lets you do:

puts "This is Tcl"
inline PASM {
print "This is PASM\n"
}

as well as some other minor missing tests.
