Example (MacOS): $ tclsh9.0 % tcl::tm::path list /Library/Tcl/tcl9/site-tcl /Library/Tcl/tcl9/9.0 /Users/jan/workspace/tcl9.0/macosx/~/Library/Tcl/tcl9/site-tcl /Users/jan/workspace/tcl9.0/macosx/~/Library/Tcl/tcl9/9.0 /usr/local/lib/tcl9/site-tcl /usr/local/lib/tcl9/9.0 /Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/9.0/Resources/tcl9/site-tcl /Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/9.0/Resources/tcl9/9.0 The 3th and 4th entries don't make sense. | ||||

I don't think this fix is correct. As TIP 602 explicitly says Note that the commands tcl::tm::add and tcl::tm::roots will not themselves do any tilde expansion. Tildes are not special characters in Tcl 9 with the exception in the TIP for initialization at startup from environment variables including It is up to the caller of tm::add and tm::roots to do tilde expansion or not as they see fit. In this case, I am not sure where the paths containing ~ are coming from. If from environment variables at startup, then that initialization code should do the expansion before calling tm::add. jan.nijtmans added on 2025-06-10 15:06:08:
Fixed [7ad80e3bed1cc1d3|here] Thanks, Ashok! I moved the handling of "file tildeexpand" to the caller of tcl::tm::roots. | ||||
