Compiler for TCL

[lakshmivaragan]

Hi there,
I understand that TCL scripts can be compiled using "procomp" command of tclpro. Is compilation option only available in tclpro ? If not, is there any package available for compiling tcl scripts ?

I'm assuming that you already know that the "compilation" provided by TclPro Compiler (as well as the commercial version provided by ActiveState), provide only source code obfuscation, not true compilation to machine-executable code. If you really are interested in compilation to some binary format, I suggest you go to the Tcl'ers Wiki (

http://wiki.tcl.tk)

and do some reading, perhaps starting with the page "How can I compile Tcl type scripts into binary code,"

http://wiki.tcl.tk/855,

as well as following the links provided there.

As for other obfuscation mechanisms, there aren't really any other packages or tools that do quite the same thing for Tcl code. All I can suggest is that you look at the Wiki page "source protection,"

http://wiki.tcl.tk/3698,

for more ideas.

Thanx for the reply.
And yeah, I know that procomp command of TclPro provides only source code obfuscation. I want to know whether any other commands similar to "procomp" are available in standard TCL/TK editions
