Please compile and run an attached .c file. When run it prints an empty errorInfo obtained after a particular wrong command. errorInfo should *always* be set if Tcl_ParseCommand returns and error. | |||

This is quite confusing that there are so many error message variables. yurivict added on 2008-10-02 23:35:45: I see this problem in both tcl-8.4.19 and tcl-8.5.4 with a minor difference. In tcl-8.4.19 errorInfo is returned as an empty string and in tcl-8.5.4 -- as a null string. dgp added on 2008-10-02 23:31:33: Use const char *msg = Tcl_GetStringResult(interp); to fix your code. If you also want ::errorInfo set, you can achieve that by adding Tcl_AddErrorInfo(interp,"") in the branch that handles the TCL_ERROR return values. dgp added on 2008-10-02 23:29:59: See the docs for Tcl_ParseCommand: "If an error occurred in parsing the command then TCL_ERROR is returned, an error message is left in interp’s result, and no information is left at *parsePtr." You will find the error message in the interp result, not in the ::errorInfo variable. dgp added on 2008-10-02 22:57:19: Please report the version of Tcl in which you see the problem. yurivict added on 2008-10-02 05:43:45: File Added - 295702: parse-error.c | |||
