• class: ::xotcl::Object

::xotcl::Object create ::xo::library

Methods (to be applied on the object)

• require (scripted, public)

   xo::library require [ -package package ] filename

  Use this method to indicate when some other files (from the same package) are needed to be sourced before the current file. This method is useful in cases where the alphabetical loading order is a problem. A typical use-case is a file defining a subclass of another class. In this case, the file defining the subclass will require the definition of the base class.

  Switches:

  -package (optional)

  Parameters:

  filename (required)

  filename without path and .tcl suffix

  Testcases:

  No testcase defined.

  #:log "--loaded nsv_set [self]-loaded [info script] 1"
  nsv_set [self]-loaded [info script] 1
  set myfile [file tail [info script]]
  set dirname [file dirname [info script]]
  if {$package eq ""} {
    set otherfile $dirname/$filename.tcl
  } else {
    set otherfile $::acs::rootdir/packages/$package/tcl/$filename.tcl
  }
  set vn [self]
  #:log "--exists otherfile $otherfile => [nsv_exists $vn $otherfile]"
  if {[nsv_exists $vn $otherfile]} {
    nsv_set $vn $otherfile [lsort -unique [concat [nsv_get $vn $otherfile] [info script]]]
    #:log "--setting nsv_set $vn $otherfile [lsort -unique [concat [nsv_get $vn $otherfile] $myfile]]"
  } else {
    nsv_set $vn $otherfile [info script]
    #:log "--setting nsv_set $vn $otherfile $myfile"
  }
  #:log "--source when not loaded [self]-loaded $otherfile: [nsv_exists [self]-loaded $otherfile]"
  #:log "--loaded = [lsort [nsv_array names [self]-loaded]]"
  
  if {![nsv_exists [self]-loaded $otherfile]} {
    :log "--sourcing first $otherfile"
    apm_source $otherfile
    nsv_set [self]-loaded $otherfile 1
  }

• source_dependent (scripted, public)

   xo::library source_dependent

  Source files extending classes of the current file. When classes are defined in this file and (some) of their methods are defined in other files, we have to load the methods of the other files after the classes are recreated in this file (recreation of classes deletes the old methods). Use "::xo::library source_dependent" at the end of a file when the classes are defined.

  Testcases:

  No testcase defined.

  set myfile [file tail [info script]]
  set dirname [file dirname [info script]]
  set vn [self]
  #:log "--check nsv_exists $vn $dirname/$myfile [nsv_exists $vn $dirname/$myfile]"
  if {[nsv_exists $vn $dirname/$myfile]} {
    foreach file [nsv_get $vn $dirname/$myfile] {
      incr ::__source_dependent_level
      ns_log notice "--sourcing dependent ($::__source_dependent_level) $myfile -> $file"
      apm_source $file
      incr ::__source_dependent_level -1
    }
  }
