| | CHANGES |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | - The program changes described below have made the 'ParseConfig' |
|---|
| | API incompatible with previous versions of 'tconfpy'. The version |
|---|
| | number has been branched to 2.x to reflect this fact. Existing |
|---|
| | programs that use 'tconfpy' will have to be modified to use |
|---|
| | this new release. |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | - Symbol Tables and Templates are now first-class objects in their own |
|---|
| | right (classes 'SymbolTable' and 'Template' respectively). This |
|---|
| | means API will not be compatible with programs built using previous |
|---|
| |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | - The 'RetObj' object has been removed. Objects of type 'SymbolTable' |
|---|
| | are now returned. |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | - Significant internal code resturcturing to encasulate parse-related |
|---|
| | data structures into the 'Symbol Table' object. This eliminated |
|---|
| | most of the global variables. |
|---|
| | - There is significant internal code restructuring to encasulate |
|---|
| | parse-related data structures into the 'SymbolTable' object. This |
|---|
| | eliminated most of the global variables. |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | - Template variables previously required a right hand side when |
|---|
| | instantiated. It is now possible to have a construct like |
|---|
| | "TemplateVariable=" in the configuration file. In that case, the |
|---|
| |
|---|
| | - Added the 'CallingProgram' API keyword parameter. This allows the |
|---|
| | calling program to change the program name embedded in every message |
|---|
| | produced during the parse. |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | - It is now possible to parse a configuration that is stored in-memory |
|---|
| | as a list of text lines. The 'ParseConfig' API "autodetects" whether |
|---|
| | it is parsing a file or an in-memory list by examining the type of |
|---|
| | the first (mandatory) parameter passed to it. If it is a string, |
|---|
| | the program assumes it to be a file name. If it is a list, the |
|---|
| | program assumes the list contains configuration statements. If it |
|---|
| | is of any other type, the program declares an error. |
|---|
| | |

| | WHATSNEW For 'tconfpy' 1.185 (Sun May 2 03:07:05 CDT 2004) |
