source ~/ns/lib/ns-node.tcl

Hi,

As I want to understand which functions are called by ns during my
simulation, I add some lines in the ~ns/tcl/lib/ns-node.tcl.

I don't want to build ns each time I make a modification
so I source this file in my script in the first line of my script. I
hope like this to override compiled tcl definitions .

Is it a good solution or does it rise any problem ?
This works with other files (ns-hiernode.tcl for example)

When I do this, I have the following error :

#########################################################
missing close-brace
    while compiling
"Node instproc add-target-NewMobile {agent port} { ..."
    (file
"/crm/spirou/NTT/usr/local/ns/ns-all/ns-2.1b6/tcl/lib/ns-node.tcl" line
816)
    invoked from within
"source.orig
/crm/spirou/NTT/usr/local/ns/ns-all/ns-2.1b6/tcl/lib/ns-node.tcl"
    ("uplevel" body line 1)
    invoked from within
"uplevel source.orig $fileName"
    (procedure "source" line 12)
    invoked from within
"source
/crm/spirou/NTT/usr/local/ns/ns-all/ns-2.1b6/tcl/lib/ns-node.tcl"
    (file "test_topogen.tcl" line 1)
##########################################################

Of course When I saw this error I extracted ns-node.tcl
form the tar.gz , thus original ns-node.tcl makes this error. Why this
does this error occur at execution time and not at compilation time ? As
you can see it is the first line of my script.

Thanks,
