| Description: |
Current CVS HEAD Tcl no longer seems to set the errorCode global variable correctly when operating in interactive mode:
% info patch
8.6b1.1
% expr {1/0}
divide by zero
% set errorCode
TCL LOOKUP VARNAME
The correct errorCode (ARITH DIVZERO...) is produced when using [catch] or when placing the above code in a script. This seems to
happen for all errors, including those created with throw/error or thrown from within procedures.

allow_comments - 1 committed. dgp added on 2009-03-18 23:42:10: File Added - 318396: 2689307.patch Attached patch takes the errorCode setting out of TclLookupSimpleVar() and pushes the burden up onto its callers. File Added: 2689307.patch dgp added on 2009-03-18 20:16:29: ok, can't reach final solution on this attempt, but it's looking like the issue to chase down is whether all the machinery in tclVar.c is resepecting the TCL_LEAVE_ERR_MSG flag when present and when absent. dgp added on 2009-03-18 20:11:56: errorCode is overwritten during the Tcl_GetVar2Ex() call at line 776 of tclMain.c. The TCL_LEAVE_ERR_MSG flag is not set. dgp added on 2009-03-18 20:06:45: still mysterious is why errorCode gets an overwrite, but errorInfo is unmolested. dgp added on 2009-03-18 20:04:47: Appears to be droppings from (in effect) the [catch $::tcl_prompt1] use to support interactive prompt customization. dgp added on 2009-03-18 03:38:17: dkf's 2009-01-08 commit appears to be the trigger. tallniel added on 2009-03-17 20:41:58: Seems to be a regression since then. 8.6b1 produces the correct ARITH DIVZERO errorCode. dgp added on 2009-03-17 20:25:20: Is this also true for the 8.6b1 release, or is this a regression since then? | |||
