There is a lot of defensive code around the splice vtable list_splice
() function that prevents using it across multiple types of PMCs.
This should be removed, and we should be able to splice any two array
types together. If necessary, throw an exception when trying to
splice a fixed-size array.
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).
Ah. Didn't realize this was tied so intimately to the internal
structure of Array.
Closing ticket...
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.

Opened another ticket regarding this so tcl can follow the rules.
