Check in stash. This code probably does not compile as-is. Changes intended to address possible segfault on termination of search.

Add note to array documentation about the general uselessness of -exact matching. It exists because [array names] had it since check-in [634da00427] (8.4a1), which also added -regexp.
Do not deallocate Tcl_ArraySearchStart()-initiated array searches when Tcl_ArraySearchPeek() or Tcl_ArraySearchNext() is called, only when Tcl_ArraySearchDone() is called. This avoids a crash should user code unconditionally call Tcl_ArraySearchDone() at the end of an array enumeration loop. This change does not affect array searches initiated by the Tcl script command [array startsearch].

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+These functions are used to create, modify, enumerate, analyze, read, and delete
+Tcl array variables from C code.
+.PP
+The \fBTcl_ArraySet\fR, \fBTcl_ArrayUnset\fR, \fBTcl_ArrayGet\fR,
+\fBTcl_ArrayNames\fR, \fBTcl_ArraySize\fR, \fBTcl_ArrayExists\fR, and
+\fBTcl_ArrayStatistics\fR functions return \fBTCL_OK\fR on success and
+\fBTCL_ERROR\fR on error.  If an error occurs, an error message is left in the
+interpreter's result.  The possible errors are caused by format (invalid list,
+dictionary, or regular expression) and traces (array, read, write, or unset).
+.PP
+Except for \fBTcl_ArraySet\fR, \fBTcl_ArraySearchStart\fR (not listed above),
+and \fBTcl_ArrayStatistics\fR, the array functions do not consider it an error
+for a namespace or variable to not exist or a variable to be a scalar or array
+element instead of an array.  \fBTcl_ArraySet\fR allows the array variable to
+not exist, in which case it creates it, but it returns \fBTCL_ERROR\fR in all
+the other situations listed in the previous sentence.
+.PP
+Array functions trigger array traces in the same manner as the \fBarray\fR
+command.  After the completion of any array traces, for each accessed array
+element, \fBTcl_ArraySet\fR triggers write traces, \fBTcl_ArrayUnset\fR triggers
+unset traces, and \fBTcl_ArrayGet\fR triggers read traces.  As discussed above,
+an error encountered during the execution of a trace causes the function to
+place error information in the interpreter's result and return \fBTCL_ERROR\fR.
+.PP
+The \fBTcl_ArraySet\fR, \fBTcl_ArrayUnset\fR, \fBTcl_ArrayGet\fR,
+\fBTcl_ArrayNames\fR, \fBTcl_ArraySize\fR, \fBTcl_ArrayExists\fR,
+\fBTcl_ArraySearchStart\fR, and \fBTcl_ArrayStatistics\fR functions accept a
+\fIflags\fR argument to control the scope of the variable lookup and to specify
+the interpretation of \fIpart2Ptr\fR.  It consists of an OR-ed combination of
+zero or more of the following bits.
+.TP
+\fBTCL_GLOBAL_ONLY\fR
+Under normal circumstances the functions look up variables as follows.  If a
+procedure call is active in \fIinterp\fR, the array variable is looked up at the
+current level of procedure call.  Otherwise, the array variable is looked up
+first in the current namespace, then in the global namespace.  However, if this
+bit is set in \fIflags\fR then the array variable is looked up only in the
+global namespace even if there is a procedure call active.  If both
+\fBTCL_GLOBAL_ONLY\fR and \fBTCL_NAMESPACE_ONLY\fR are given,
+\fBTCL_GLOBAL_ONLY\fR is ignored.
+.TP
+\fBTCL_NAMESPACE_ONLY\fR
+If this bit is set in \fIflags\fR then the array variable is looked up only in
+the current namespace.  If a procedure is active, its variables are ignored, and
+the global namespace is also ignored unless it is the current namespace.
+.PP
+With the exception of \fBTcl_ArraySet\fR and \fBTcl_ArrayStatistics\fR which do
+not support filtering, the \fIflags\fR argument is also OR-ed with zero or one
+of the following values to select the type of filtering applied by
+\fIpart2Ptr\fR.  Setting more than one filter type may cause \fBTcl_Panic\fR to
+be called.  The filter type is ignored if \fIpart2Ptr\fR is NULL, in which case
+no filtering is applied and all array elements are matched.
+.TP
+\fBTCL_MATCH_EXACT\fR
+\fIpart2Ptr\fR is an array element name.  The filter matches at most a single
+array element whose name is exactly equal to the value of \fIpart2Ptr\fR.  If no
+filter type is explicitly specified in \fIflags\fR, \fBTCL_MATCH_EXACT\fR is
+used by default.  This differs from the \fBarray\fR commands which default to
+\fB\-glob\fR.
+.TP
+\fBTCL_MATCH_GLOB\fR
+\fIpart2Ptr\fR is a glob pattern, and it matches array element names according
+to the rules of \fBstring match\fR.  \fIpart2Ptr\fR must match the entire array
+element name from beginning to end.  To match substrings, place \fB*\fR at
+either end of \fIpart2Ptr\fR.
+.TP
+\fBTCL_MATCH_REGEXP\fR
+\fIpart2Ptr\fR is a regular expression, and it matches array element names
+according to the rules of \fBregexp\fR.  Unless anchored by the \fB^\fR and
+\fB$\fR constraints, \fIpart2Ptr\fR matches substrings.  Thus, an empty
+\fIpart2Ptr\fR matches every possible array element name.  It is an error for
+\fIpart2Ptr\fR to not be a valid regular expression, but this error is only
+detected and reported when \fIpart1Ptr\fR names a non-empty array.
+.PP
+The \fBTcl_ArraySet\fR, \fBTcl_ArrayGet\fR, and \fBTcl_ArrayNames\fR functions
+accept \fIdictPtr\fR and \fIlistPtr\fR arguments referencing dictionary and list
+values, respectively.  If these values are not already dictionary and list
+values, an attempt will be made to convert them.  If the conversion fails,
+\fBTCL_ERROR\fR will be returned and an error message will be left in the
+interpreter's result.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_ArraySet\fR sets the values of zero or more elements in the array named
+by \fIpart1Ptr\fR.  If not NULL, \fIdictPtr\fR must be a valid dictionary, i.e.
+it must be a list consisting of an even number of elements alternating between
+key and value.  Each key in \fIdictPtr\fR is treated as an element name within
+the array, and its associated value is used as the new value for that array
+element.  If the variable named by \fIpart1Ptr\fR does not already exist and
+\fIdictPtr\fR is empty or NULL, the variable is created as an empty array.  It
+is an error for \fIpart1Ptr\fR to name a scalar (non-array) variable or an array
+element, or for it to reference a nonexistent namespace.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_ArrayUnset\fR unsets all elements in the array named by \fIpart1Ptr\fR
+that match the filter specified by \fIpart2Ptr\fR and \fIflags\fR.  It is not an
+error for \fIpart1Ptr\fR to not name an array or for there to be no matching
+elements in the array.  If \fIpart2Ptr\fR is NULL and \fIpart1Ptr\fR names an
+array, the entire array is unset, and future calls to \fBTcl_ArrayExists\fR will
+report it as not existing.  This is distinct from unsetting each element of the
+array (e.g. if \fIpart2Ptr\fR is \fB*\fR and \fIflags\fR is
+\fBTCL_MATCH_GLOB\fR), which does not cause future calls to
+\fBTcl_ArrayExists\fR to report the array as not existing.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_ArrayGet\fR loads the contents of the array named by \fIpart1Ptr\fR into
+the \fIdictPtr\fR dictionary object.  The array element names and values are
+used as the dictionary keys and values, respectively.  If \fIpart2Ptr\fR is not
+NULL, \fIpart2Ptr\fR and \fIflags\fR specify a filter used to limit which array
+elements are loaded into \fIdictPtr\fR.  If \fIpart1Ptr\fR does not name an
+array or if there are no matching elements, \fIdictPtr\fR is not modified.
+If \fIdictPtr\fR is not empty prior to calling \fBTcl_ArrayGet\fR, the array
+data is merged into \fIdictPtr\fR.  If an array element has the same name as an
+existing dictionary key, the array element value replaces the existing
+dictionary value.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_ArrayNames\fR loads the element names of the array named by
+\fIpart1Ptr\fR into the \fIlistPtr\fR list object.  If \fIpart2Ptr\fR is not
+NULL, \fIpart2Ptr\fR and \fIflags\fR specify a filter used to limit which array
+element names are loaded into \fIlistPtr\fR.  If \fIpart1Ptr\fR does not name an
+array or if there are no matching elements, \fIlistPtr\fR is not modified.  If
+\fIlistPtr\fR is not empty prior to calling \fBTcl_ArrayNames\fR, the array
+element names are appended to \fIlistPtr\fR.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_ArraySize\fR stores the number of elements in the array named by
+\fIpart1Ptr\fR into the address \fIintPtr\fR.  If \fIpart2Ptr\fR is not NULL,
+\fIpart2Ptr\fR and \fIflags\fR specify a filter used to limit which array
+elements count toward the total number of elements.  
+.PP
+\fBTcl_ArrayExists\fR checks for the existence of an array variable named
+\fIpart1Ptr\fR or (if \fIpart2Ptr\fR is not NULL) an array element within
+matching the filter specified by \fIpart2Ptr\fR and \fIflags\fR.  If the array
+variable or array element exists, the value \fB1\fR is stored into the location
+\fIintPtr\fR, even if the array is empty.  If \fIpart1Ptr\fR does not name an
+array variable (the variable does not exist, it is a scalar variable or array
+element, or it references a nonexistent namespace), or if \fIpart2Ptr\fR is not
+NULL and no elements match the filter, the value \fB0\fR is stored into the
+location \fIintPtr\fR.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_ArraySearchStart\fR initiates an array search, i.e. an array element
+enumeration yielding one element at a time.  \fIpart1Ptr\fR must name an array.
+If \fIpart2Ptr\fR is not NULL, \fIpart2Ptr\fR and \fIflags\fR specify a filter
+used to limit which array elements are included in the enumeration.  The return
+value is a token used to track the progress of the search, and it is to be
+passed to the \fBTcl_ArraySearchPeek\fR, \fBTcl_ArraySearchNext\fR, and
+\fBTcl_ArraySearchDone\fR functions.  If there is an error looking up the
+variable, executing an array trace, or validating a regular expression filter,
+NULL is returned and error information is placed in the interpreter result.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_ArraySearchPeek\fR and \fBTcl_ArraySearchNext\fR return the next array
+element name in the search identified by the \fIsearch\fR argument.  If there
+are no remaining element names, NULL is returned.  \fBTcl_ArraySearchPeek\fR
+does not advance the enumeration, whereas \fBTcl_ArraySearchNext\fR does, so
+\fBTcl_ArraySearchPeek\fR will return the same value each time it is called if
+there are no intervening calls to \fBTcl_ArraySearchNext\fR with the same
+\fIsearch\fR argument.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_ArraySearchDone\fR completes the search identified by the \fIsearch\fR
+argument and deallocates associated resources.  To avoid memory leaks,
+\fBTcl_ArraySearchDone\fR must be called once for each search token returned by
+\fBTcl_ArraySearchStart\fR.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_ArrayStatistics\fR produces statistics about the distribution of data
+within the hash table underlying the array named by \fIpart1Ptr\fR.  This
+information includes the number of entries in the table, the number of buckets,
+and the utilization of the buckets.  The statistics information is appended to
+the string value \fIstringPtr\fR.

 .SS OPERANDS
 .PP
-A Tcl expression consists of a combination of operands, operators,
-parentheses and commas.
-White space may be used between the operands and operators and
-parentheses (or commas); it is ignored by the expression's instructions.
-Where possible, operands are interpreted as integer values.
-Integer values may be specified in decimal (the normal case), in binary
-(if the first two characters of the operand are \fB0b\fR), in octal
-(if the first two characters of the operand are \fB0o\fR), or in hexadecimal
-(if the first two characters of the operand are \fB0x\fR).  For
-compatibility with older Tcl releases, an octal integer value is also
-indicated simply when the first character of the operand is \fB0\fR,
-whether or not the second character is also \fBo\fR.
-If an operand does not have one of the integer formats given
-above, then it is treated as a floating-point number if that is
-possible.  Floating-point numbers may be specified in any of several
-common formats making use of the decimal digits, the decimal point \fB.\fR,
-the characters \fBe\fR or \fBE\fR indicating scientific notation, and
-the sign characters \fB+\fR or \fB\-\fR.  For example, all of the
-following are valid floating-point numbers:  2.1, 3., 6e4, 7.91e+16.
-Also recognized as floating point values are the strings \fBInf\fR
-and \fBNaN\fR making use of any case for each character.
-If no numeric interpretation is possible (note that all literal
-operands that are not numeric or boolean must be quoted with either
-braces or with double quotes), then an operand is left as a string
-(and only a limited set of operators may be applied to it).
+An expression consists of a combination of operands, operators, parentheses and
+commas, possibly with whitespace between any of these elements, which is
+ignored.
+An integer operand may be specified in decimal, binary

+(the first two characters are \fB0x\fR) form.  For
+compatibility with older Tcl releases, an operand that begins with \fB0\fR is
+interpreted as an octal integer even if the second character is not \fBo\fR.
+A floating-point number may be specified in any of several
+common decimal formats, and may use the decimal point \fB.\fR,
+\fBe\fR or \fBE\fR for scientific notation, and
+the sign characters \fB+\fR and \fB\-\fR.  The
+following are all valid floating-point numbers:  2.1, 3., 6e4, 7.91e+16.

-For example, the commands
+Where an expression contains syntax that Tcl would otherwise perform
+substitutions on, enclosing an expression in braces or otherwise quoting it
+so that it's a static value allows the Tcl compiler to generate bytecode for
+the expression, resulting in better speed and smaller storage requirements.
+This also avoids issues that can arise if Tcl is allowed to perform
+substitution on the value before \fBexpr\fR is called.
 .PP
+In the following example, the value of the expression is 11 because the Tcl parser first
+substitutes \fB$b\fR and \fBexpr\fR then substitutes \fB$a\fR.  Enclosing the
+expression in braces would result in a syntax error.
 .CS

 set b {$a + 2}
 \fBexpr\fR $b*4
 .CE
 .PP
-return 11, not a multiple of 4.
-This is because the Tcl parser will first substitute \fB$a + 2\fR for
-the variable \fBb\fR,
-then the \fBexpr\fR command will evaluate the expression \fB$a + 2*4\fR.
-.PP
-Most expressions do not require a second round of substitutions.
-Either they are enclosed in braces or, if not,
-their variable and command substitutions yield numbers or strings
-that do not themselves require substitutions.
-However, because a few unbraced expressions
-need two rounds of substitutions,
-the bytecode compiler must emit
-additional instructions to handle this situation.
-The most expensive code is required for
-unbraced expressions that contain command substitutions.
-These expressions must be implemented by generating new code
-each time the expression is executed.
-When the expression is unbraced to allow the substitution of a function or
-operator, consider using the commands documented in the \fBmathfunc\fR(n) or
-\fBmathop\fR(n) manual pages directly instead.
+
+When an expression is generated at runtime, like the one above is, the bytcode
+compiler must ensure that new code is generated each time the expression
+is evaluated.  This is the most costly kind of expression from a performance
+perspective.  In such cases, consider directly using the commands described in
+the \fBmathfunc\fR(n) or \fBmathop\fR(n) documentation instead of \fBexpr\fR.
+
+Most expressions are not formed at runtime, but are literal strings or contain
+substitutions that don't introduce other substitutions.  To allow the bytecode
+compiler to work with an expression as a string literal at compilation time,
+ensure that it contains no substitutions or that it is enclosed in braces or
+otherwise quoted to prevent Tcl from performing substitutions, allowing
+\fBexpr\fR to perform them instead.
