Tcl lappend返回意外结果

我正在浏览Tcl tutorial并且lappend运算符返回意外结果。

我在F5负载平衡硬件的命令行界面上运行它。以下是相关的系统信息:

~ \#  cat /proc/version
  Linux version 2.6.32-431.56.1.el6.f5.x86_64 (f5cm@build19) (gcc version 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-3) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Wed Jun 8 11:41:48 PDT 2016

% puts $tcl_version
8.5

我尝试了可以​​想到的变量分组的每个排列,但我仍然无法得到我期望的结果。似乎有一个缓冲区保持命令的所有结果:'puts'命令并在'lappend'命令中使用它。这是我执行的行。前几个'看跌期权'只是为了表明尚未初始化:

% puts $l1

can't read "l1": no such variable

% puts $l2

can't read "l2": no such variable

% puts $l3

can't read "l3": no such variable

% puts $l4

can't read "l4": no such variable

% puts $l5

can't read "l5": no such variable

% set l1 { {item 1} {item 2} {item 3} }

 {item 1} {item 2} {item 3}

% set l2 { {item 4} {item 5} {item 6} }

 {item 4} {item 5} {item 6}

% set l3 [concat $l1 $l2]

{item 1} {item 2} {item 3} {item 4} {item 5} {item 6}

#things working as expected here
% puts $l3

{item 1} {item 2} {item 3} {item 4} {item 5} {item 6}

#this is where things start to get squirrelly. I would expect this to return the result of $l1 concat with $l2 and the result stored in $l1
% lappend $l1 $l2

{ {item 4} {item 5} {item 6} }

#as you can see, it appears to return the second argument when that argument is a list. 
% lappend $l2 $l1

{ {item 1} {item 2} {item 3} }

# $l1 remains unchanged. at the very least, according to the documentation,
# I would expect that second item would be treated as a single entity
# when it is a list, and that the fourth item in '% lappend $l2 $l1' would be $l1
% puts $l1

 {item 1} {item 2} {item 3}

#neither $l2 nor $l1 are modified as the result of the 'lappend' command.
% puts $l2

 {item 4} {item 5} {item 6}

#more squirrelly-ness. when the arguments being passed are individual, it seems as though the last call to 'puts' is what 'lappend' uses for its first argument. this is confirmed on the last 3 commands below. **strong text**
% lappend $l1 "a" "b" "c"

{ {item 4} {item 5} {item 6} } a b c

% puts $l1

 {item 1} {item 2} {item 3}

% lappend "$l1" "$l2"

**{ {item 4} {item 5} {item 6} } a b c { {item 4} {item 5} {item 6} }**

% puts $l1

 {item 1} {item 2} {item 3}

% puts $l2

 {item 4} {item 5} {item 6}

% set l4 [lappend $l1 $l2]

 **{ {item 4} {item 5} {item 6} } a b c { {item 4} {item 5} {item 6} } { {item 4} 
{item 5} {item 6} }**

% puts $l4

 { {item 4} {item 5} {item 6} } a b c { {item 4} {item 5} {item 6} } { {item 4} 
{item 5} {item 6} }

# confirmed. 'lappend' is using last call to 'puts' as its argument for it's first argument. this can't be intended behavior right?
% puts $l1
 {item 1} {item 2} {item 3}
% set l5 [lappend $l2 "a" "b" "c"]
 { {item 1} {item 2} {item 3} } a b c
% puts $l2
 {item 4} {item 5} {item 6}

我无法想象这种行为是有意的。

以下是我认为这应该有效的方法:

#should return something like [$list1, [$list2]] or something like concat $list1 $list2
% lappend $list1 $list2

#should return each item concatenated to the end of $list1
% lappend $list1 "a" "b" "c"

如果答案是lappend没有修改第一个参数,并且我必须使用set命令来保存lappend命令的结果,那很好;但是,lappend命令似乎没有以一致的方式运行。

提前感谢任何帮助/见解。

2 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:2)

lappend $l1 $l2通过l1的内容将l2的内容追加到变量NAMED。您想要lappend l1 $l2,与通过set l1 whatever而非set $l1 whatever设置变量的方式非常相似。

答案 1 :(得分:2)

lappend将变量名称作为其第一个参数,而不是列表。 在这种情况下:

   set l1 [list a b c]
   lappend $l1 x
   puts [set {a b c}]
   # returns: x

x附加到名为{a b c}的变量。

相反,使用变量名作为lappend的第一个参数:

   set l1 [list a b c]
   set l2 [list d e f]
   lappend l1 {*}$l2
   # result: a b c d e f

要记住的一般规则是,如果Tcl命令修改其参数,则传递变量名称。如果Tcl命令没有修改其参数,则传递该值(此规则不适用于数组)。
