During March 2003, Glenn Jackman, Don Porter, Donald Arseneau, Arjen Markus and possibly others were discussing procs creating procs during runtime. One of the issues discussed was that of scope - if a proc creates a proc, without anything fancy being done, in what namespace is the runtime created proc? Here's an example provided by [Ulrich Schoebel]: % proc foo {} {proc bar {} {puts baz_1}} % namespace eval mymy {proc foo {} {proc bar {} {puts baz_2}}} % foo % ::mymy::foo % bar baz_1 % ::mymy::bar baz_2 % which appears to demonstrate [dgp]'s assertion that procs with non-fully-qualified names are created in the ''current'' namespace, whatever that happens to be. ---- Check out [proc manipulation with tags]
