For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
proc coverage example
Other Facilities in Tcl example from a Well House Consultants training course
More on Other Facilities in Tcl [link]

This example is described in the following article(s):
   • Coverage map in Tcl - how many times has each proc been called? - [link]

Source code: times Module: T214

# Provision of a simple coverage map in Tcl
# Shows how you can find the number of calls made to each proc in your code

# Globals needed during coverage analysis
# (Have to use globals as we cannot change arguments)

# Namespace resolution needs adding if you use namepaces

set call_order ""
set procnames ""

# Define here any procs that we do NOT want analysed, such as our own ones relating to coverage

proc report {} {
        global call_order
        foreach call $call_order {
                incr callcounter($call)
        }
        puts [format "\n%20s %5s" "proc name" count]
        puts [format "%20s %5s" --------- -----]
        # change to loop through procnames if you want to include procs not called
        foreach fn [array names callcounter] {
                puts [format "%20s %5d" $fn $callcounter($fn)]
        }
}

# Hide the original proc command and write a new one
# which wraps (decorates) the original with our coverage code

rename proc my_proc
my_proc proc {name arglist body} {

        # stuff to log as we apply the wrapping
        # (making note of all the names of the things we wrap
        global procnames
        lappend procnames $name

        # Within the body, add in extra code to note each call made
        # This is a bit crude - simply a long list of calls
        # Use of quotes rather than braces to ensure dollar expansion at the right time
        # semicolon to end statements, as backslash-return become a space not a return
        my_proc $name $arglist " \
                global call_order; \
                lappend call_order $name; \
                $body \
                "
        }

# The application

proc area {a b} {

        return [expr $a * $b]
        }
proc circum {a b} {
        # circumference of rectangular table
        return [expr 2 * ($a + $b)]
        }
proc doggydistance {a b} {
        # Shortest distance from edge to middle of table
        set closest [expr (($a > $b) ? $b : $a) / 2.0]
        return $closest
        }

set a [area 100 200]
set b [circum 100 200]
set b [circum 100 200]
set b [circum 100 200]
set b [circum 100 200]
