| Description: |
When one uses Stubs to build applications that embed Tcl (not extensions), numerous problems are obvious, especially on win32. 1) discovering where a Tcl core is is a very difficult problem. Scriptics used HKLM\Software\Scriptics\Tcl in their installers, ActiveState uses a different registry key, and the makefiles don't set any key. So when an app starts and tries to discover where Tcl is, it gets rather complicated and is very fragile. 2) given that you know where a core is located, what features does it (they) have? Does it have symbols and memory tracing? What if I only want a release build with memdbg at 8.3.3 only? What if I can use any core @ 8.4.1+ but without symbols and don't mind if it has threading? Some info I can derive from the suffix such as 't' for threading (but only with makefile.vc as TEA doesn't recognize it as a standard suffix), but 'g' isn't as meaningful. 'g' could mean only memdbg without symbols. 3) As Stubs is the method for runtime linking, it would make sense to me that it contain the method for connecting to the catalog and loading the core requested. I will add more thoughts to this FR at a later time.. | |||

Since TIP #596 is accepted now for Tcl 9.0, this can be closed. jan.nijtmans added on 2021-02-23 17:31:15: TIP #596 https://core.tcl-lang.org/tips/doc/trunk/tip/596.md concept is there now. jan.nijtmans added on 2013-07-05 11:12:43: More complete implementation in [717ee454f7], not requiring TIP #414 any more (although TIP #414 would make it more efficient). jan.nijtmans added on 2013-07-02 12:07:07: First experimental implementation in [ccb77d8416] jan.nijtmans added on 2013-07-02 10:45:33: Here is an example how this can be done. https://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/info/25f7fa1157 TIP #414 is a tiny first step making this easier. davygrvy added on 2003-12-06 04:25:37: Logged In: YES user_id=7549 3.1) IOW, tclstub8x.lib should contain the code to find and load a tcl core. | |||
