Code:

Class Foo

Foo instproc myMethod {anArgument} {} Foo ob ==> expected a tcl method name but got myMethod

This works as expected if I simply create an Object as follows:

Object foo foo proc myMethod {anArgument} {} foo info args myMethod ==> anArgument

Is this behaviour to be expected, and if so, why?

it is intented, because args only introspects the arguments for procs. For instprocs there is a method "instargs" for the class object. You will get the expected behavior with:

Foo instproc init {} { puts [[self class] info instargs myMethod] } Foo ob --> anArgument

with "[self class] info args" you'll get the args of class-specific procs
