Re: [TCLCORE] Migration tool for Tcl 9

[Paul O. <pa...@po...>]

Hi Ashok,

thanks for this great tool.

I found several Tcl9 related issues (esp. [RELATIVENS] and [UNDECLARED]) in my Tcl sources,
which are otherwise difficult to find.
The runtime checker works, too.

Best regards,
Paul

It includes a static checker based on Nagelfar as well as a runtime shim that fixes up incompatibilities like i/o encoding errors, tilde expansion, package requirements etc., allowing the scripts to be loaded while emitting warnings.
