NAME

Tcl_Interp — client-visible fields of interpreter structures

SYNOPSIS

#include <tcl.h>
typedef struct {
    char *result; /* NO LONGER AVAILABLE */
    Tcl_FreeProc *freeProc; /* NO LONGER AVAILABLE */
    int errorLine; /* NO LONGER AVAILABLE */
} Tcl_Interp;

typedef void Tcl_FreeProc(
        char *blockPtr);

DESCRIPTION

The Tcl_CreateInterp procedure returns a pointer to a Tcl_Interp structure. Callers of Tcl_CreateInterp should use this pointer as an opaque token, suitable for nothing other than passing back to other routines in the Tcl interface from the same thread that called Tcl_CreateInterp. The Tcl_Interp struct no longer has any supported client-visible fields. Supported public routines such as Tcl_SetResult, Tcl_GetResult, Tcl_SetErrorLine, Tcl_GetErrorLine must be used instead.

Any legacy programs and extensions trying to access the fields above in their source code will need conversion to compile for Tcl 8.7 and later.
