This gets a conn:
Ns_Conn *conn;
/* get connection structure */
conn = Ns_TclGetConn(interp);
if (conn == NULL) {
Tcl_AppendResult(interp, "NULL conn??", NULL);
return TCL_ERROR;
But a detached thread won't have a conn structure - it isn't associated
with a connection.
I think you can go directly to TCL, for example:
string = Tcl_GetVar(interp, argv[2], 0);
if (string == NULL) {
Tcl_AppendResult(interp, "can't access variable ", argv[2], NULL);
return TCL_ERROR;
}
This returns a (local) TCL variable to your C modules. I think you can
do Tcl_Eval (or whatever it is called - Rob would know) without
needing a conn structure, assuming that there is a TCL interpreter
associated with your detached thread. Guess it depends whether your
thread was originally started from a C modules or a TCL module.
