The list_splice is an optimized implementation for Array (or any list based
array). If you need a more general solution you can just implement the splice
vtable function in the TclList PMC (or prefered in the RPA.pmc, where it's
missing).
BTW:
pmclass TclList extends ResizablePMCArray need_ext does array dynpmc group
tcl_group hll Tcl maps Array {
doesn't make much sense:
- extends ResizablePMCArray means, that it is inheriting from that (C-wise)
- maps Array means, that if, Parrot should create an array type, which is
HLL-dependent, it should use C<Array>.
Array is in internals list-based and not compatible with RPA. These different
array types don't work together at all.
