Tcl 9 functions using Tcl_Size

This page lists the functions, which use Tcl_Size either as return value or as parameter type. It may help C/C++ extension developers to port their code to Tcl 9.

This function list can be created with script CreateTclSizeFuncList.tcl based on the contents of the tcl.decls file. There is also a utility script FindTclSizeFuncs.tcl to scan source code directories for the usage of these functions.
