💅 tcl2c++ — from the User Manuals bestie collection 🎀

okay so real talk, <pink>tcl2c++</pink> is that girl who takes your cute lil tcl scripts and ✨glow-up-transforms✨ them into a C++ static character array. no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

tcl2c++ — converts tcl scripts into a C++ static character array 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

tcl2c++ name [file ...]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

tcl2c++ convert the script into an EmbeddedTcl object. periodt.

the lines below expand ns-lib.tcl and create the EmbeddedTcl object instance called et_ns_lib, and honestly? iconic:

     tclsh bin/tcl-expand.tcl tcl/lib/ns-lib.tcl |   \
                ../Tcl/tcl2c++ et_ns_lib > gen/ns_tcl.cc

the script, ~ns/bin/tcl-expand.tcl, expands ns-lib.tcl by replacing all source lines with the corresponding source files. slay.

the program, ~tclcl/tcl2cc.c, converts the OTcl code into an equivalent EmbeddedTcl object, et_ns_lib. lowkey genius fr fr.

during initialization, invoking the method EmbeddedTcl::load explicitly evaluates the array. the way that works 👇

• ~tclcl/tcl-object.tcl is evaluated by the method Tcl::init(void); Tcl_AppInit() invokes Tcl::Init(). the exact command syntax for the load is:

et_tclobject.load();

• similarly, ~ns/tcl/lib/ns-lib.tcl is evaluated directly by Tcl_AppInit in ~ns/ns_tclsh.cc.

et_ns_lib.load();
