M4pm Tcl Extension Building and SWIG [Tutorials at a Glance]
[PDF format] David M. Beazley, University of Chicago Who should attend: Developers who are involved in building Tcl/Tk interfaces to C/C++ applications or building compiled extensions to Tcl 8.0 and need useful information as well as tools for automating the extension-building process. Participants should be familiar with C, but no prior experience with Tcl extension building is required. We will explore several approaches to adding new commands and creating new shells in Tcl using C, including returning results and conversion functions. This tutorial will demonstrate the extensibility of Tcl and its strength as an embedded language. Topics include:
SWIG-related topics include:
