Tcl Source Code

The attached patch makes a small changes to the new 
(vfs-tip17) APIs provided in 8.4a3 so that filesystems 
which support the operation can provide not only 
a 'readlink' command (as before) but also can make 
links.  The patch renames 'Tcl_FSReadLink' 
to 'Tcl_FSLink', with a changed signature, which is 
now capable of both actions.  The patch introduces an 
incompatibility with 8.4a3, but not with anything 
older.  Nothing changes at the Tcl level (although of 
course it would be good to expose this to Tcl 
eventually)

Impacted files are tclIOUtil.c, tclTest.c, tcl
(Mac|Win|Unix)File.c and an entry in the stub tables.

Woo hoo!  No more test suite failures than 
an unpatched Tcl.  I think that's it.

I'm attaching a alternate version of the same
patch, vfs.patch, for those who prefer an
uncompressed patch with Unix line endings.

Attached newer patch which should, I think, fix those cross-
platform test suite bugs (there are some interesting 
subtleties when the test suite asks one platform to pretend 
to be another).

Also updated patch for latest cvs head.

After patching with vfsUpdate4.patch, Tcl doesn't
build.  Compiler errors in unix/tclUnixFileCmd.c.

Here is vfs.patch, a corrected version of the patch
that compiles and links.  However, the resulting
Tcl fails 12 tests.  See attached file test.results.
It looks like the failing tests have to do with
platform-specific differences in parsing of path names.
Perhaps the tests just need to be limited to appropriate
platforms?

The cvs head changed again, so I updated the patch.  The 
latest tclvfs package can now manipulate things 
like 'ftp://ftp.scriptics.com/readme.txt' as real paths 
once this patch has been applied.

Attached new patch which should pass all tests.

Adding further use of objectified APIs.  Still passes all 
tests on Windows.

Updating with patch which generally updates and fixed parts 
of the FS code.  While nothing was specifically broken 
before (i.e. test suite worked), this update allows for 
more flexible vfs support and improves efficiency.  It 
passes the test suite on Win, but needs testing on Unix and 
MacOS.
