On 2003-02-19, a bug in the pkgIndex.tcl of mkextensions was reported in the Tcl chatroom:
package ifneeded mkGeneric 1.3 [list
load [file join [set dir] mkGeneric13[info sharedlibextension]]
]Notice that without a backslash after "list", the load command is immediately executed, and its result stored for ifneeded...
NEM 20Feb2003 - There was another bug which cropped up as a result of this chatroom session. The Mkgeneric_SafeInit function is defined in terms of itself, making it infinitely recursive:
int Mkgeneric_SafeInit(Tcl_Interp *tI) {
return Mkgeneric_SafeInit(tI);
}This presumably was supposed to be:
int Mkgeneric_SafeInit(Tcl_Interp *tI) {
return Mkgeneric_Init(tI);
}Both bugs have been filed on the mkextensions sourceforge page.
