[ns] TclClass("EnergyModel") & Class Node/MobileNode

[Ahmad R Shahid <arshahid@yahoo.com>]

Hi All,

In EnergyModel.cc, the EnergyModelClass constructor
calls the TclClass constructor and passes
"EnergyModel" as the argument. What does it do? Refer
to some tcl timplementation of EnergyModel?

EnergyModelClass ():TclClass ("EnergyModel") {}

What I have found is that there is no EnergyModel
class defined in TCL. Its infact just a part of the
mobile node as has been defined in ns-lib.tcl in
~ns/tcl/lib. But for some other things, like a mobile
node, mobilenode.cc has this statement:

MobileNodeClass() : TclClass("Node/MobileNode") {}

And it refers to the ns-mobilenode.tcl in ~/tcl/lib,
which defines all the procedures related to the mobile
node in tcl. But why is it different from the case of
Energy/Model where Energy/Model is not a class, yet in
the C implementation of EnergyModelClass, its
constructor calls the TclClass constructor.

My second question is that even though
ns-mobilenode.tcl defines tcl implementation of all
the procedures related to the mobilenode class but
where that class was first declared. Like there should
be statement like:

Class Node/MobileNode -superclass Node

But I cant find that statement in ns-mobilenode.tcl or
is it somewhere else?

Ahmad
