I found another problem with non-position args... an argument of "--" can cause a core dump. Consider the following.

Object o o proc foo {{-a A}} {b} { puts "$a $b" } o foo "B" #--> "A B"

o foo "-" #--> "A -"

o foo "---" #--> "A ---"

o foo "--" #--> core dump.

Gustaf/Uwe -

I found a little bug in 1.3.3 that I downloaded on October 15th from=20 http://media.wu-wien.ac.at/download/xotcl-1.3.3.tar.gz

The following causes a core dump on my Solaris workstation:

Object o o proc foo {{-foo 1}} {} { puts "foo: $foo" }

o foo #--> "foo: 1"

o foo -foo 0 #--> "foo: 0"

o foo -foo #--> BOOM!

Just thought I'd pass that on. Regards -- bryan
