int intValue (in) Integer value used to initialize or set a Tcl object. long longValue (in) Long integer value used to initialize or set a Tcl object. Tcl_WideInt wideValue (in) Wide integer value used to initialize or set a Tcl object. Tcl_Obj *objPtr (in/out) For Tcl_SetIntObj, Tcl_SetLongObj, Tcl_SetWideIntObj, and Tcl_SetBignumObj, this points to the object in which to store an integral value. For Tcl_GetIntFromObj, Tcl_GetLongFromObj, Tcl_GetWideIntFro- mObj, Tcl_GetBignumFromObj, and Tcl_TakeBignumFromObj, this refers to the object from which to retrieve an integral value. Tcl_Interp *interp (in/out) When non-NULL, an error message is left here when integral value retrieval fails. int *intPtr (out) Points to place to store the integer value retrieved from objPtr. long *longPtr (out) Points to place to store the long integer value retrieved from objPtr. Tcl_WideInt *widePtr (out) Points to place to store the wide integer value retrieved from objPtr. mp_int *bigValue (in/out) Points to a multi-precision integer structure declared by the LibTomMath library. | double doubleValue (in) Double value from which the integer part is determined and used to initialize a multi-precision inte- | ger value. _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
These procedures are used to create, modify, and read Tcl objects that hold integral values. | The different routines exist to accommodate different integral types in C with which values might be exchanged. The C integral types for | which Tcl provides value exchange routines are int, long int, Tcl_WideInt, and mp_int. The int and long int types are provided by the C | language standard. The Tcl_WideInt type is a typedef defined to be whatever signed integral type covers at least the 64-bit integer range | (-9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807). Depending on the platform and the C compiler, the actual type might be long int, long long | int, int64, or something else. The mp_int type is a multiple-precision integer type defined by the LibTomMath multiple-precision integer | library. | The Tcl_NewIntObj, Tcl_NewLongObj, Tcl_NewWideIntObj, and Tcl_NewBignumObj routines each create and return a new Tcl object initialized to | the integral value of the argument. The returned Tcl object is unshared. | The Tcl_SetIntObj, Tcl_SetLongObj, Tcl_SetWideIntObj, and Tcl_SetBignumObj routines each set the value of an existing Tcl object pointed to | by objPtr to the integral value provided by the other argument. The objPtr argument must point to an unshared Tcl object. Any attempt to | set the value of a shared Tcl object violates Tcl's copy-on-write policy. Any existing string representation or internal representation in | the unshared Tcl object will be freed as a consequence of setting the new value. | The Tcl_GetIntFromObj, Tcl_GetLongFromObj, Tcl_GetWideIntFromObj, Tcl_GetBignumFromObj, and Tcl_TakeBignumFromObj routines attempt to | retrieve an integral value of the appropriate type from the Tcl object objPtr. If the attempt succeeds, then TCL_OK is returned, and the | value is written to the storage provided by the caller. The attempt might fail if objPtr does not hold an integral value, or if the value | exceeds the range of the target type. If the attempt fails, then TCL_ERROR is returned, and if interp is non-NULL, an error message is | left in interp. The Tcl_ObjType of objPtr may be changed to make subsequent calls to the same routine more efficient. Unlike the other | functions, Tcl_TakeBignumFromObj may set the content of the Tcl object objPtr to an empty string in the process of retrieving the multiple- | precision integer value. | The choice between Tcl_GetBignumFromObj and Tcl_TakeBignumFromObj is governed by how the caller will continue to use objPtr. If after the | mp_int value is retrieved from objPtr, the caller will make no more use of objPtr, then using Tcl_TakeBignumFromObj permits Tcl to detect | when an unshared objPtr permits the value to be moved instead of copied, which should be more efficient. If anything later in the caller | requires objPtr to continue to hold the same value, then Tcl_GetBignumFromObj must be chosen. | The Tcl_InitBignumFromDouble routine is a utility procedure that extracts the integer part of doubleValue and stores that integer value in | the mp_int value bigValue.
