| Description: |
I find that when running Tcl's test suite, the safe.test file always takes several minutes to complete. Looking into the details of this, I find that the SafeBase [source] alias is being force to deal with hundreds of files, and this all derives from an ::auto_path list with hundreds of elements. Basically every subdirectory of /usr/local/lib ends up on the ::auto_path, and on my system, that's a lot of files. None of them appear to be important to what's being tested in safe.test, so the attached patch saves ::auto_path, sets it to a bare minimum value, and restores when safe.test tests are done. Result is much faster. | |||
