I don't understand what enum_class_TclString is doing in
Parrot_TclString_class_init(Parrot_Interp interp, int entry)
{
struct _vtable temp_base_vtable = {
NULL, /* package */
enum_class_TclString, /* base_type */If I'm being dynamically generated, and I'm supposed to use the real values when morphing - what purpose does this serve? is it just a placeholder? And if so, why not just automatically gen it with -1 to avoid this issue? Or is this base_type used elsewhere... in which case does it have to be unique? across ALL dynamic pmcs? (and, if so, how do we insure that)
That said, I still can't get the dynclasses to work properly. Here's my latest attempt. I can apparently load "tclobject", which is an abstract pmc used for morphing (and therefore does me no good at the PIR level), but if I try to load any of the real libraries, like "tclstring", it fails, again with the "unknown error"

Ok, it's not that bad, but it doesn't seem to work. I moved the .pmcs (same files in previous attachment) over to ./dnyclasses, updated the Makefile as directed in dynclasses/README.
You have to modify the PMCs a bit. The class enums are generated at load
time. You must have had compile errors during
$ make -C dynclasses clean all
You need basically (in tclstring.pmc):
#define enum_class_TclString -1
and some code in tclobject.morph to get at the real class enum.
