.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
These four procedures all evaluate an expression, returning
|
||
|
|
the result in one of four different forms.
|
||
|
|
The expression is given by the \fIobjPtr\fR argument, and it
|
||
|
|
can have any of the forms accepted by the \fBexpr\fR command.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The \fIinterp\fR argument refers to an interpreter used to
|
||
|
|
evaluate the expression (e.g. for variables and nested Tcl
|
||
|
|
commands) and to return error information.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
For all of these procedures the return value is a standard
|
||
|
|
Tcl result: \fBTCL_OK\fR means the expression was successfully
|
||
|
|
evaluated, and \fBTCL_ERROR\fR means that an error occurred while
|
||
|
|
evaluating the expression.
|
||
|
|
If \fBTCL_ERROR\fR is returned,
|
||
|
|
then a message describing the error
|
||
|
|
can be retrieved using \fBTcl_GetObjResult\fR.
|
||
|
|
If an error occurs while executing a Tcl command embedded in
|
||
|
|
the expression then that error will be returned.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
If the expression is successfully evaluated, then its value is
|
||
|
|
returned in one of four forms, depending on which procedure
|
||
|
|
is invoked.
|
||
|
|
\fBTcl_ExprLongObj\fR stores an integer value at \fI*longPtr\fR.
|
||
|
|
If the expression's actual value is a floating-point number,
|
||
|
|
then it is truncated to an integer.
|
||
|
|
If the expression's actual value is a non-numeric string then
|
||
|
|
an error is returned.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
\fBTcl_ExprDoubleObj\fR stores a floating-point value at \fI*doublePtr\fR.
|
||
|
|
If the expression's actual value is an integer, it is converted to
|
||
|
|
floating-point.
|
||
|
|
If the expression's actual value is a non-numeric string then
|
||
|
|
an error is returned.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
\fBTcl_ExprBooleanObj\fR stores a 0/1 integer value at \fI*booleanPtr\fR.
|
||
|
|
If the expression's actual value is an integer or floating-point
|
||
|
|
number, then they store 0 at \fI*booleanPtr\fR if
|
||
|
|
the value was zero and 1 otherwise.
|
||
|
|
If the expression's actual value is a non-numeric string then
|
||
|
|
it must be one of the values accepted by \fBTcl_GetBoolean\fR
|
||
|
|
such as ``yes'' or ``no'', or else an error occurs.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
If \fBTcl_ExprObj\fR successfully evaluates the expression,
|
||
|
|
it stores a pointer to the Tcl object
|
||
|
|
containing the expression's value at \fI*resultPtrPtr\fR.
|
||
|
|
In this case, the caller is responsible for calling
|
||
|
|
\fBTcl_DecrRefCount\fR to decrement the object's reference count
|
||
|
|
when it is finished with the object.
