Thread: sharing tcl proc's between functions

Hi,

Is it possible to share some TCL proc's between a set of functions? Something like

proc mything {
}

proc otherthing {
}


create function wantsthings (text)  returns text as
'
  return [mything [otherthing fubar]]

' language 'pltcl';

Cheers,










Bob

Sure.  IIRC all pltcl functions run in a backend share one interpreter
(and pltclu functions share a second one).  You might look at the
"pltcl_modules" code as a convenient way of getting things loaded upon
first use:
