The tbcload package implements commands to source Tcl byte code generated
by the tclcompiler package.
As basic usage example, evaluating the following in a Tcl shell
will generate a hello.tbc file containing the byte code for the
Tcl script in hello.tcl.
package require tclcompiler
compiler::compile hello.tcl
The generated hello.tbc file can then be loaded with
package require tbcload
source hello.tbc
For detailed usage, limitations and other information, see the Chapter 6 of the TclPro User's Guide. Although dated, most of the information there is still applicable.
The package supports Tcl 8.6 and Tcl 9.0. However, files compiled for Tcl 8
cannot be loaded into a Tcl 9 interpreter and vice versa. Further, files
compiled with tclcompiler versions prior to 2.0 are untested and unsupported.
