After having some of list discussion with Gustaf Neumann [GN] a solution has been found which will be part of the 1.5.1 release. Below a summary of the discussion.<br><br>MJ:<br><br>I have had the same problem witch Tcl 8.5a4
so I don't think it is specific to a5. I have downloaded 8.5a5 from <a href="http://tcl.sourceforge.net">tcl.sourceforge.net</a> CVS.<br>It does seem to be a windows only problem.<br><br>I have done some more investigation and tried to compile XOTcl for myself. Linking fails on TclIncrObjVar2 that is being used by AutonameIncr.
<br>TclIncrObjVar2 is part of the private Tcl API and therefore not included in the stubs dll.<br>Same goes for TclIncrVar2 for the <8.5 builds<br><br>This means that AutonameIncr will call a function that is not enabled in the stubs table and that is probably why it crashes with
8.5a4/5.<br>Using the code below, I can compile XOTcl on windows against Tcl85a5 and autoname seems to work as it should.<br><br>#ifdef PRE85<br> valueObject = TclIncrVar2(in, XOTclGlobalObjects[XOTE_AUTONAMES], name, 1, flgs);
<br>#else<br> valueObject = Tcl_ObjGetVar2(in, XOTclGlobalObjects[XOTE_AUTONAMES],name, flgs);<br> if (valueObject != NULL ) {<br> Tcl_GetLongFromObj(in, valueObject,&autoname_counter);<br> autoname_counter++;
<br> if (Tcl_IsShared(valueObject)) {<br> valueObject = Tcl_DuplicateObj(valueObject);<br> }<br> Tcl_SetLongObj(valueObject,autoname_counter);<br> } <br>#endif<br><br><br>GN:<br><br>many thanks! looks good ... i've as well removed the PRE85 case, use
<br>this code always...<br><br>Regards,<br>Mark<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 9/18/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Gustaf Neumann</b> <<a href="mailto:neumann@wu-wien.ac.at">neumann@wu-wien.ac.at</a>> wrote:
