description

Critcl lets you easily embed C code in Tcl (the acronym stands for "Compiled Runtime in Tcl"). It takes a snippet of C, wraps it up a bit, sends it to the compiler, and then dynamically links the code. Checksums are used to only recompile when needed, so the build overhead really applies only once.

Critcl has been packaged as a Starkit, as an easy way to use it. It contains extra logic written by Steve Landers to generate a compiled extension, ready to distribute as a Tcl package. And it pops up a little help system when launched with no args.

• Documentation: paper from the Tcl/Tk 2002 conference, Vancouver (PDF).
• The above now as web pages: Critcl - beyond stubs and compilers
• Details about Starkits and Tclkit (Critcl can also be used as plain script).
• More notes are available on the Tclers' Wiki - here and here.

Criticl is MIT-licensed open source software, the command-line interface was contributed by Steve Landers.
