What: Frink Where: http://catless.ncl.ac.uk/Programs/Frink/ ftp://catless.ncl.ac.uk/pub/frink-2.1.5.tar.gz Description: Program to prettify (like the indent command) your Tcl/Tk program. Frink can format, minimize and/or obfuscate your Tcl code. It can take some forms of your code and convert it to use message catalogs (used for internationalization). It applies a variety of heuristics to the code to try to detect possible errors. Supports only vanilla tcl - not extensions such as tclX, itcl, etc. Does however recognize namesapce and interp commands. Check the first URL on a regular basis for updates. Does not permit commercial use. Updated: 06/2001 Contact: mailto:Lindsay.Marshall@newcastle.ac.uk [Lindsay F. Marshall] This tool by [Lindsay Marshall] does [Static syntax analysis]. See also "[What debugging tools are available to a Tcl programmer]" in general. Frink makes a brief appearance in a UnixReview.com column in April 2002 [http://click.unixreview.email-publisher.com/maaakIVaaRQqKa2scaRb/]. ---- '''Note:''' Be very careful using frink to reformat your source code. Double check the frink results against the original source. It messes up your code every once and a while. ---- Question: What flags do you find most useful when using frink to check for errors/warnings? ---- [[ [Category Application] | [Category Debugging] (=> [Static syntax analysis]) ]]
