Hi all,

I don't know how AS is working internally with the TCL interpreters.
Is it correct is I say the following ? :

A TCL interpreter is created at startup. It reads the config file. Then this
interpreter becomes the "master TCL interp" that stays here until the process
shutdown.

Every time a thread is created, a TCL Interp is created and "derived" from the
master TCL interp (that is all the user commands are recreated in this TCL
Inter).
If this is true, so the master TCL Interp is never used by any thread to
process any page. Is that right ? Is yes, can we anyway access to this TCL
master interpreter using C functions ?

Thanks for any help !

Why this question ? Because I remember a discussion about shared channels
across threads (using ns_chan or my nssharechannel module).
It looks like this sharing is working, but may not be entirely safe. If
this "master TCL interp" exists, we could use it to create and register the
channel to this master Interp and use shared channels in a safer manner.

The cons is that we cannot use standard channel commands, and create new tcl
commands to create/read/write/delete channels as those channels are not using
the current interp... Perhaps this is not a so good idea :-(

Thanks for any tip on that.

Another thing not related to AOLServer... Sorry :

I develop an IE plug-in (www.debugbar.com) which speed up Web Sites
development and debugging (give access to the loaded page source code, HTTP
headers/response, cookies, javascript, etc...).
It's commercial but as I am an AOLServer fan, feel free to send me an email
and I will validate your license for free (as you are an AOLServer list
member).

Sorry for disturbing you ....

Best Regards.
