Here are a couple of suggestions:
I've need to make these two changes to the 1.2.2 and earlier:
1. add support to handle PATH_VOLUME_RELATIVE in FileUtil
2. set the max integer size in Utils.StroulResult greater than 32 in order to
handle integer strings that are the result of long java return values (e.g.
currentTimeMillis).
These are enhancement requests:
3. I think it would be great to be able to set a string as non-executable. When
handling arbitrary text within the tcl/jacl it can be quite troublesome dealing
with the accidental evaluation of text which normally works but sometimes (when
the text happens to have the usual suspects $ " and common friends []{}) fails.
Being able to set the attribute of a jacl string to non-executable would really
help.
4. My next ambition for jacl would be multithreading -- interpreters which can
spin off indpendent interpreter threads and interthread communications, etc. In
my application I'd like to run a master interpreter which spins off "chron"
interpreters, interpreters to handle http connections, interpreters to handle
other background tasks, and so on. Right now each thread needs its own
independent interpreter and any inter-interpreter state information is retained
by the master java application. Namespace support is certainly a start. Are
there plans for this?
