WELD

Weld provides an enhanced version of Tcl/Tk to which advanced validation and debugging capabilities have been added. Users of Weld are provided with features and tools similar to those that Unix-C developers have long enjoyed, but for Tcl scripts. These features include:

• Validation - command and variable coherance checking.
• Analysis - profiling and code coverage analysis.
• Debugging - interactive execution with introspection.

The easiest way to make use of weld is by running wted (see Weld install). Simply using <Shift-F5> allows controlled execution of a script under weld, eg.

  wted main.tcl
  <Shift-F5>

The command wted simply runs Ted within weld. (see Screenshot).

Using Weld simplifies and rationalizes the development and maintainence of robust Tcl applications.
