  • Advanced Tcl E D
    PART II I I . A d v a n c Advanced Tcl e d T c l Part II describes advanced programming techniques that support sophisticated applications. The Tcl interfaces remain simple, so you can quickly construct pow- erful applications. Chapter 10 describes eval, which lets you create Tcl programs on the fly. There are tricks with using eval correctly, and a few rules of thumb to make your life easier. Chapter 11 describes regular expressions. This is the most powerful string processing facility in Tcl. This chapter includes a cookbook of useful regular expressions. Chapter 12 describes the library and package facility used to organize your code into reusable modules. Chapter 13 describes introspection and debugging. Introspection provides information about the state of the Tcl interpreter. Chapter 14 describes namespaces that partition the global scope for vari- ables and procedures. Namespaces help you structure large Tcl applications. Chapter 15 describes the features that support Internationalization, includ- ing Unicode, other character set encodings, and message catalogs. Chapter 16 describes event-driven I/O programming. This lets you run pro- cess pipelines in the background. It is also very useful with network socket pro- gramming, which is the topic of Chapter 17. Chapter 18 describes TclHttpd, a Web server built entirely in Tcl. You can build applications on top of TclHttpd, or integrate the server into existing appli- cations to give them a web interface. TclHttpd also supports regular Web sites. Chapter 19 describes Safe-Tcl and using multiple Tcl interpreters. You can create multiple Tcl interpreters for your application. If an interpreter is safe, then you can grant it restricted functionality.

    Applyx 076 (LYX 2.1.5) Pierre L. Douillet 17 septembre 2019 (a short tale of modern ages - 3) Résumé Tant que l’on n’a jamais su que Alzheimer s’écrivait avec un "h", il n’y a aucun problème à ne pas s’en souvenir. Mais il n’y a rien de plus agaçant que de savoir que l’on a rencontré la réponse à un problème technique dans un bouquin de 999 pages (et c’était sur une page de gauche, mais peut-être aussi sur une page de droite)... Tandis qu’un document informatisé est facile à interroger, et en même temps plus difficile à égarer qu’une suite de notes papier. Les distributions visées sont SuSE − 6:1, SuSE − 6:2, SuSE − 6:3, SuSE − 6:4, SuSE − 7:0, SuSE − 7:2, SuSE − 7:3, SuSE − 8:0, SuSE − 8:1, SuSE − 9:3, SuSE − 10:2, SuSE − 11:0, SuSE − 11:3, SuSE − 11:4; SuSE − 13:1 et SuSE − 42:1. D’autres distributions existent. Par exemple RedHat, dont au moins une livraison formate spontanément tous les disques durs d’une machine, etc. Dans ce qui suit, les items numérotés décrivent les questions ayant trouvé une réponse (même désagréable) tandis que les items avec des boulets décrivent les questions restées en suspens. Par ailleurs, la taille de ce document augmentant au fil du temps, nous l’avons fractionné en quatre parties : (1) installation proprement dite, (2) configuration d’un système installé, (3) partie "appli- cative" des problèmes rencontrés, (4) collation des batchs utilisés pour la configuration du barnum.
