- The ttttkkkkeeeerrrrrrrroooorrrr command doesn't exist as built-in part of Tk. Instead,
- individual applications or users can define a ttttkkkkeeeerrrrrrrroooorrrr command (e.g. as a
- Tcl procedure) if they wish to handle background errors.
-
- A background error is one that occurs in a command that didn't originate
- with the application. For example, if an error occurs while executing a
- command specified with a bbbbiiiinnnndddd of aaaafffftttteeeerrrr command, then it is a background
- error. For a non-background error, the error can simply be returned up
- through nested Tcl command evaluations until it reaches the top-level
- code in the application; then the application can report the error in
- whatever way it wishes. When a background error occurs, the unwinding
- ends in the Tk library and there is no obvious way for Tk to report the
- error.
-
- When Tk detects a background error, it saves information about the error |
- and invokes the ttttkkkkeeeerrrrrrrroooorrrr command later when Tk is idle. Before invoking |
- ttttkkkkeeeerrrrrrrroooorrrr, Tk restores the eeeerrrrrrrroooorrrrIIIInnnnffffoooo and eeeerrrrrrrroooorrrrCCCCooooddddeeee variables to their |
- values at the time the error occurred, then it invokes ttttkkkkeeeerrrrrrrroooorrrr with the
- error message as its only argument. Tk assumes that the application has
- implemented the ttttkkkkeeeerrrrrrrroooorrrr command, and that the command will report the
- error in a way that makes sense for the application. Tk will ignore any
- result returned by the ttttkkkkeeeerrrrrrrroooorrrr command.
-
- If another Tcl error occurs within the ttttkkkkeeeerrrrrrrroooorrrr command (for example,
- because no ttttkkkkeeeerrrrrrrroooorrrr command has been defined) then Tk reports the error
- itself by writing a message to stderr.
-
- If several background errors accumulate before ttttkkkkeeeerrrrrrrroooorrrr is invoked to |
- process them, ttttkkkkeeeerrrrrrrroooorrrr will be invoked once for each error, in the order |
- they occurred. However, if ttttkkkkeeeerrrrrrrroooorrrr returns with a break exception, then |
- any remaining errors are skipped without calling ttttkkkkeeeerrrrrrrroooorrrr.
-
- The Tk script library includes a default ttttkkkkeeeerrrrrrrroooorrrr procedure that posts a
- dialog box containing the error message and offers the user a chance to
- see a stack trace showing where the error occurred.
