Hi,
If there's already a project to bring Inline::C capability to Tcl, please point me at it. Otherwise, perhaps this could be the start of one.
For those unfamiliar with what Inline::C is, it is a Perl module that allows you to embed C code within your Perl program -- for more information, look here:
http://search.cpan.org/author/INGY/Inline-0.44/C/C.pod
Now, tonight, I got to thinking: gee, it'd be nice to have something like this for Tcl. After giving it the "good ol' college try" (you know, I Googled two or three times and nothing came up) I couldn't find an implementation of Inline::C for Tcl. So, I said to myself: Tcl is awesome -- it shouldn't take me more than a minute or two to get a bare minimum snippet of Tcl code working that does what I want.
So, here is my first whack at Inline::C for Tcl.

Again, if such a thing already exists, pointers would be appreciated. Otherwise, perhaps if others find this useful, we can get this added to Tcllib or it can stand on its own. I don't care either way.

Obviously, if such a thing already exists, I guess there ought to be links from this page so others (like me!) could find them easily ...

Critcl does this. I've never used it but several people have commented at the Tcl'ers Chat and comp.lang.tcl about it. -- GPS
Ahh! Yes, JCW had mentioned CriTcl [L1 ] to me at one point but it totally slipped my mind last night. Thanks! -- Dossy
