Description

A Tcl extension that allows one to use object oriented programming concepts from within Tcl and provides a tight object-oriented coupling to C++. Can be used freely for non-commercial purposes; email the contact for commercial use licensing details. A version 1.1 was in development in the mid-90s.

The author of this version was David Young.

Dean Sheenan had an Object Tcl at http://www.visionware.com/tech/ObjectTcl/cover.html which was oriented towards binding C++ classes to Tcl. There was talk back in 1996 of trying to merge his work with incr tcl.

Nagao Shijo's Object-Tcl

Note that Nagao Shijo also announced an "Object Tcl" at http://www.hf.rim.or.jp/~nagao/object-tcl-2.0-snap.tar.gz ; I'm uncertain whether that was a derivative of David's work or not.

 A simple script only OOP extension for Tcl.  This extension provides class
 with multi inheritance and configuration methods which is similar to that of
 Tk widgets. The OOP features are constructed with minimal system commands that
 has simple interface and proper error message handling, minimal quirks and
 minimal overhead.  It is very easy to create a new combined widget from
 original widget set.  The namespace facility in Tcl8.0 is completely supported
 by version 2.0. The system works on both Tcl7.* and Tcl8.0.  Currently, the
 only development snapshot is available from the WWW server.
