| Description: |
[info args procname] does not return any default values.
One must resort to iterating over the results from [info args], calling [info default] for each one, and build up a list.
It would be more convenient to have an [info] subcommand in the core that accomplishes that feat.
I propose [info fullargs procname]:
proc t1 [list one [list two ""] args] {}
info fullargs t1 ;# ==> one {two {}} args

If we only examine the option when there is a 4th argument, there are also no backwards compatibility issues with the unlikely possibility of a proc called '-withdefaults'. -- Vince. dkf added on 2001-09-17 16:33:10: Logged In: YES user_id=79902 This feature *requires* a TIP; I'm not too sure if I like the name 'fullargs' either... :^) Implementation looks technically OK though. glennjnn added on 2001-09-15 02:24:13: File Added - 10800: info.test.diff glennjnn added on 2001-09-15 02:23:28: File Added - 10799: info.n.diff glennjnn added on 2001-09-15 02:21:53: File Added - 10798: tclCmdIL.diff | |||
