Update: TCL Compiler

[Andreas Otto]

Hey all together ...

First tests with the C-Backend are successful finished.
The speed improvements are better than expected.
Thank "Scriptics" for the well designed source code.

Here some additional INFO:

1) The Tcl code will build in a dynamic library ?PKG?.so .
2) All the "autoconf" stuff will be generated => ready to use interface.
2.a) Uses the Tcl-TEA environment with some improvements.
3) The "C" code will heavy use the public and the private Tcl C-API.
4) No ???eval??? will be used => no parsing anymore.
5) No dynamic space allocation anymore.
5) The speed improvement will be >>> 2.

How the structure looks like:

test1.tcl => test1.h test1.c
test2.tcl => test2.h test2.c

test1.c:
procedures: proc XYZ ... => int Ot_XYZObjCmd(...)
init: int Ot_test1Init(interp)
+ some additional helper procs ...
Ot_test1Init: covers the global callframe of the file test1
...

Global:
?PKG?.h ?PKG?.c

?PKG?.c:
int Pkg_Init(interp)
Pkg_Init:
call: Ot_test1Init(interp)
call: Ot_test2Init(interp)

All the generated files together:

Makefile.in README.cygwin TestPKG.n install-sh mkinstalldirs
test1.c test2.h
Misc TestPKG.c aclocal.m4 license.terms tcl.m4
test1.h
README TestPKG.h configure.in mkIndex.tcl.in test.tcl
test2.c

-----------------------------------------------------

Expect some pubic examples in 1 Week.
Expect a useful compiler in 3 Weeks.
