Itcl provides many means of introspection. Once a class has been defined and an object of that class created then the class names and objects can be found in this manner: package require Itcl itcl::class abc { variable a 1 variable b } abc myobj abc myotherobj puts "Classes: [itcl::find classes]" puts "Objects: [itcl::find objects]" The Itcl class manual page [http://www.tcl.tk/man/itcl3.1/class.n.html] provides many more hints, such as myobj info variable ::abc::this ::abc::a For debugging purposes, protected array variables of an object can be accessed using set [list @itcl myobj ::abc::b(foo)] The [namespace children] command includes ::abc as a namespace since this is how Itcl implements classes. namespace children {} a* ::activestate ::abc ::auto_mkindex_parser The methods of the object, and the body of the method can be obtained. ---- !!!!!! %| [Category Introspection] |% !!!!!!
