NOTE: This repository should be considered read-only. For the Tcl Parser component, the tcl-parser repository is recommended. For the debugger itself, use tcl-debugger.

This repository is a fork of the Flightaware repository with updates to support Tcl 9.

Original README from the Flightaware repository:

The TclPro Debugger version 2.0 is an upgrade of of the debugger included in the TclPro product version 1.5 released and open-sourced by Scriptics Corporation.

To install: You will need to install the extension in lib/tclparser to add the parse command to Tcl.

cd lib/tclparser && autoreconf && ./configure && make install

To run: execute the file bin/prodebug

The Help menu item on the Debugger's menu bar has an option to open the TclPro user's guide, which will appear as a PDF file in the user's default browser. The information in the chapter on the Debugger is still valid.

The debugger code has been upgraded to function with up-to-date releases of Tcl/Tk (i.e., versions 8.5, 8.6):

• Tk GUI code upgraded to work with current Tk API.

• Upgraded OS interaction code to work with current operating system releases.

• Instrumentation code added to accomodate the expand operator.

• Code added for proper custom instrumentation of new Tcl commands (e.g. apply, dict, try) and subcommands.

• Put remote-debugging client code file into package for ease of access.

• Cleanup and correction of doc files.

• Files and directories re-arranged into starkit-ready format.

• Added script to wrap debugger code into a starkit of minimum size.

• Miscellaneous bug fixes.
