buildinfo — Build info
::tcl::build-info ?field?
This command provides a way to retrieve information about how Tcl was built.
Without any options, the command returns the Tcl patchlevel, followed
by the '+'-sign, followed by the fossil commit-id followed by a list of
dot-separated tags. If a field is given, this command extracts that
field as described below. Any other field value not mentioned
below will always return "0". For official Tcl releases, the fields are:
- ::tcl::build-info clang
-
Returns the clang version number (as 4 digits) if Tcl is compiled with clang, 0 otherwise.
- ::tcl::build-info commit
-
Returns the fossil commit-id where Tcl was built from.
- ::tcl::build-info compiledebug
-
Returns 1 if Tcl is compiled with -DTCL_COMPILE_DEBUG, 0 otherwise.
- ::tcl::build-info compiler
-
Returns the compiler name (either clang, gcc, icc or msvc), followed by a dash and a (4-digit) version number.
- ::tcl::build-info compilestats
-
Returns 1 if Tcl is compiled with -DTCL_COMPILE_STATS, 0 otherwise.
- ::tcl::build-info cplusplus
-
Returns 1 if Tcl is compiled with a C++ compiler, 0 otherwise.
- ::tcl::build-info debug
-
Returns 1 if Tcl is not compiled with -DNDEBUG, 0 otherwise.
- ::tcl::build-info gcc
-
Returns the gcc version number (as 4 digits) if Tcl is compiled with gcc, 0 otherwise.
- ::tcl::build-info icc
-
Returns the icc version number (as 4 digits) if Tcl is compiled with icc, 0 otherwise.
- ::tcl::build-info ilp32
-
Returns 1 if Tcl is compiled such that integers, longs and pointers are all 32-bit, 0 otherwise.
- ::tcl::build-info memdebug
-
Returns 1 if Tcl is compiled with -DTCL_MEM_DEBUG, 0 otherwise.
- ::tcl::build-info msvc
-
Returns the msvc version number (as 4 digits) if Tcl is compiled with msvc, 0 otherwise.
- ::tcl::build-info nmake
-
Returns 1 if Tcl is built using nmake, 0 otherwise.
- ::tcl::build-info no-deprecate
-
Returns 1 if Tcl is compiled with -DTCL_NO_DEPRECATED, 0 otherwise.
- ::tcl::build-info no-thread
-
Returns 1 if Tcl is compiled with -DTCL_THREADS=0, 0 otherwise.
- ::tcl::build-info no-optimize
-
Returns 1 if Tcl is not compiled with -DTCL_CFG_OPTIMIZED, 0 otherwise.
- ::tcl::build-info objective-c
-
Returns 1 if Tcl is compiled with an objective-c compiler, 0 otherwise.
- ::tcl::build-info objective-cplusplus
-
Returns 1 if Tcl is compiled with an objective-c++ compiler, 0 otherwise.
- ::tcl::build-info patchlevel
-
Returns the Tcl patchlevel, same as info patchlevel.
- ::tcl::build-info profile
-
Returns 1 if Tcl is compiled with -DTCL_CFG_PROFILED, 0 otherwise.
- ::tcl::build-info purify
-
Returns 1 if Tcl is compiled with -DPURIFY, 0 otherwise.
- ::tcl::build-info static
-
Returns 1 if Tcl is compiled as a static library, 0 otherwise.
- ::tcl::build-info tommath
-
Returns the libtommath version number (as 4 digits) if libtommath is built into Tcl, 0 otherwise.
- ::tcl::build-info version
-
Returns the Tcl version, same as info tclversion.
- ::tcl::build-info zlib
-
Returns the zlib version number (as 4 digits) if zlib is built into Tcl, 0 otherwise.
