Tcl Source Code

New man page doc/Panic.3 documents Tcl_Panic,
Tcl_PanicVA, Tcl_SetPanicProc, panic, panicVA, and
Tcl_PanicProc.  (Bugs 219170, 414936).

Dan Steffen pointed out to me that the patches so far
break wish on the Mac.  The patches so far had the effect
of requiring Mac applications that embed Tcl to call
Tcl_SetPanicProc() with a suitable panic handler
in order to have panic messages reported visibly.  This
would be an incompatible change.

So, I'm uploading another supplemental patch that corrects
this problem.  It defines an internal routine TclpPanic()
that is a platform-specific panic handler.  It is actually
implemented only on the Mac, so that Mac applications that
continue not to call Tcl_SetPanicProc() will still have
a suitable platform-specific handler provided by the Tcl
internals.  On Unix and Windows, TclpPanic is NULL.

Committing to HEAD and uploading this supplemental patch.

Not sure why the system converted this from "Patch"
to "Bug".  Changing it back...

Wah, never work from memory. It is describing, not
description:

The manpage looks good, except for a small nit: "decription"
should be "description". The code seems to be ok too, but I
can't speak about the Mac changes.

Updated patch (forgot 'make mklinks' the first time).

Any comments?

Added patch that CONSTifies (TIP 27) the Tcl_*Panic*
procedures.  Also tries to significantly rework the
Tcl_*Panic* procedures on the Mac, so that all platforms use
the same generic routines.  These changes need checking and
probably more work by someone with a Mac.  Please review.
