**UPDATE: 26 feb 2021** '''Yesterday''' I had a look into the source-code of `tcl-compiler` and I was really surprised how '''beautiful''' the source-code is :-) → but '''I''' as the developer have complete forgot this code. There was a discussion that I don't publish '''all''' of the source-code * I can say the ''sourceforge'' should be complete! As I mentioned 20 years ago the `tcl-compiler` can be used as plain '''tcl''' script and you can compile the `tcl-compiler` itself as executable. > be aware that `tcl-compiler` uses a '''minimal''' modified `tcl` distribution with TWO features added/improved 1. a `punkown` a tcl function called if a '''unknown''' function is used 2. a `vunkown` a tcl function called if a '''unknown''' variable is used the modified `tcl` is part of the code at ''sourceforge'' mfg ---- ** OLD stuff below ** At the [First European Tcl/Tk Users Meeting] in 2001, [Andreas Otto] presented a system he called simply, "Tcl Compiler". ** Attributes ** website: [http://sourceforge.net/projects/tclcompiler/%|%sourceforge.net] website (original): [http://web.archive.org/web/20010801231826/http://www.compiler-factory.com/index.html%|%compiler-factory.com via archive.org] website (even more original): [http://web.archive.org/web/20010419065804/http://home.t-online.de/home/aotto/compiler.html%|%t-online.de via archive.org] current version: 2.2 release time: 2001-10-16 ** Reading ** [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.lang.tcl/TEgFxtAZm9s/BoQCw_grneEJ%|%Compiler 1.3 Release Announcement] ,[comp.lang.tcl] ,2001-04-17: [http://web.archive.org/web/20010914013838/http://www.compiler-factory.com/WhitePaper_E.html%|%What Is Token-Stream]: [http://web.archive.org/web/20011022004957/http://www.compiler-factory.com/Compiler-TUTORIAL_E.html%|%tutorial (dead)]: Anyone who has a copy of this please shout out!

[SEH]: I have been combing through the sourceforge code and (sparse) docs. It appears that the code base is not complete, the author held back a C runtime library that is necessary actually to run the compiled Tcl program. If someone has up-to-date contact information for the author, perhaps we could persuade him to make a full release. The project looks to be worth saving. <<categories>> Development | Performance
