Tcl_SaveResult, Tcl_RestoreResult, Tcl_DiscardResult - save and restore an interpreter's result
#include <tcl.h>
Tcl_SaveResult(interp, statePtr)
Tcl_RestoreResult(interp, statePtr)
Tcl_DiscardResult(statePtr)
- Tcl_Interp *interp (in)
-
Interpreter for which state should be saved.
- Tcl_SavedResult *statePtr (in)
-
Pointer to location where interpreter result should be saved or restored.
These routines allows a C procedure to take a snapshot of the current
interpreter result so that it can be restored after a call
to Tcl_Eval or some other routine that modifies the interpreter
result. These routines are passed a pointer to a structure that is
used to store enough information to restore the interpreter result
state. This structure can be allocated on the stack of the calling
procedure. These routines do not save the state of any error
information in the interpreter (e.g. the errorCode or
errorInfo variables).
Tcl_SaveResult moves the string and object results
of interp into the location specified by statePtr.
Tcl_SaveResult clears the result for interp and
leaves the result in its normal empty initialized state.
Tcl_RestoreResult moves the string and object results from
statePtr back into interp. Any result or error that was
already in the interpreter will be cleared. The statePtr is left
in an uninitialized state and cannot be used until another call to
Tcl_SaveResult.
Tcl_DiscardResult releases the saved interpreter state
stored at statePtr. The state structure is left in an
uninitialized state and cannot be used until another call to
Tcl_SaveResult.
Once Tcl_SaveResult is called to save the interpreter
result, either Tcl_RestoreResult or
Tcl_DiscardResult must be called to properly clean up the
memory associated with the saved state.
