Purpose: a place to share your wisdom, confusion, hard won knowledge, ... regarding the use of Tcl and threads.
- What are threads?
- How are threads in Tcl different than people expect?
- How do I tell if I can use threads in Tcl? Before being able to use threads in Tcl, you have to specifically specify a configuration time flag. The default is to not build with threads. Unfortunately, the last I checked, the configuration with the thread flags built libraries and executables with the same name as configuring without the flag; this means that you cannot tell simply by file names whether your Tcl has threads or not.
- How can I tell whether my Tcl interpreter has been compiled with threads?
info exists tcl_platform(threaded)
- If I build Tcl with threads, will I be able to use other extensions?
