Re: [TCLCORE] Question on TCL_BROKEN_MAINARGS

[Dipl. I. S. G. B. <se...@us...>]

 

IIRC, it is only set in configure by impossibility or unwillingness to
build tcl for windows as unicode binary (using unicode-capable runtime
library), e. g. without -municode in LDFLAGS. 

I think it is only the case using some special toolchains (not gcc/clang
or visual studio). No idea whether newer versions like 9.x are still
buildable with that.
