This might be a candidate for inclusion into http://tcllib.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tcllib/tcllib/modules/ooutil/


dkf suggested these as substitutes for my public and private method modifiers, but I get an error when I try them out:

jbr later - dkf points out on TclOO Tricks that this may be fixed in HEAD

proc oo::define::public { method name args body } {   ; # [dkf] - 2012-09-14
      uplevel 1 [list method $name $args $body]
      uplevel 1 [list export $name]
}
proc oo::define::private { method name args body } {
      uplevel 1 [list method $name $args $body]
      uplevel 1 [list unexport $name]
}

        oo::class create X {
            public method XXX {} { puts XXX }
        }

        X create a
        a XXX

Produces:

this command may only be called from within the context of an ::oo::define or ::oo::objdefine command

DKF: That was a bug caused by using the wrong context namespace for lookups in one function inside TclOO's guts (fixed in this commit in case you care). Update to 8.6b3 (or TclOO 0.7 if you're using Tcl 8.5). Or even 8.6b2/0.6.2; it's been fixed for quite a while now…
