If the result +of calling \fBTcl_OOInitStubs\fR is NULL, the initialization failed and an +error message will have been left in the interpreter's result. Otherwise, the +initialization succeeded and the TclOO API may thereafter be used; the +version of the TclOO API is returned. +.PP +When using this function, either the C #define symbol \fBUSE_TCLOO_STUBS\fR +should be defined and your library code linked against the Tcl stub library, +or that #define symbol should \fInot\fR be defined and your library code +linked against the Tcl main library directly. +.SH "BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTE" +.PP +If you are linking against the Tcl 8.5 forward compatibility package for +TclOO, \fIonly\fR the stub-enabled configuration is supported and you should +also link against the TclOO independent stub library; that library is an +integrated part of the main Tcl stub library in Tcl 8.6. +.SH KEYWORDS +stubs +.SH "SEE ALSO" +Tcl_InitStubs(3) +.\" Local variables: +.\" mode: nroff +.\" fill-column: 78 +.\" End: |
