tags 502304 wontfix stop Hi,
The link to the bug report is broken. The new url is: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2881189&group_id=10894&atid=360894 As explained in the bug report, this behavior will not be changed without a TIP proposal because it is too invasive. I quote the answer: > I agree that it would be a more consistent behavior > for Tcl_Main to exit() when the appInitProc returns > TCL_ERROR. However the existing behavior has > been in place since release 7.5, since long before > any of the current maintainers got started, and I > have no clear idea how much code is written with > that expectation. > > The way forward is to TIP this feature change in > the early days of feature development once the > window opens on the 8.7/9.0 feature chase. Then > the TIP discussion will have some change to chase > down the pros/cons of the proposed change. > > As you observe, the appInitProc() writer has a > workaround available to simply call exit() for > itself if it has already determined that the error > ought to be a fatal one.
