+
+1. Introduction
+---------------
+Tcl provides a powerful platform for creating integration applications that
+tie together diverse applications, protocols, devices, and frameworks.
+When paired with the Tk toolkit, Tcl provides the fastest and most powerful
+way to create GUI applications that run on PCs, Unix, and Mac OS X.
+Tcl can also be used for a variety of web-related tasks and for creating
+powerful command languages for applications.
+
+Tcl is maintained, enhanced, and distributed freely by the Tcl community.
+Source code development and tracking of bug reports and feature requests
+takes place at:
+
+	http://core.tcl.tk/
+
+Tcl/Tk release and mailing list services are hosted by SourceForge:
+
+	http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl/
+
+with the Tcl Developer Xchange hosted at:
+
+	http://www.tcl.tk/
+
+Tcl is a freely available open source package.  You can do virtually
+anything you like with it, such as modifying it, redistributing it,
+and selling it either in whole or in part.  See the file
+"license.terms" for complete information.
+
+2. Documentation
+----------------
+
+Extensive documentation is available at our website.
+The home page for this release, including new features, is
+	http://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/9.0.html
+
+Detailed release notes can be found at the file distributions page
+by clicking on the relevant version.
+	http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl/files/Tcl/
+
+Information about Tcl itself can be found at
+	http://www.tcl.tk/about/
+
+There have been many Tcl books on the market.  Many are mentioned in the Wiki:
+	http://wiki.tcl.tk/_/ref?N=25206
+
+To view the complete set of reference manual entries for Tcl 9.0 online,
+visit the URL:
+	http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl9.0/
+
+2a. Unix Documentation
+----------------------
+
+The "doc" subdirectory in this release contains a complete set of
+reference manual entries for Tcl.  Files with extension ".1" are for
+programs (for example, tclsh.1); files with extension ".3" are for C
+library procedures; and files with extension ".n" describe Tcl
+commands.  The file "doc/Tcl.n" gives a quick summary of the Tcl
+language syntax.  To print any of the man pages on Unix, cd to the
+"doc" directory and invoke your favorite variant of troff using the
+normal -man macros, for example
+
+		ditroff -man Tcl.n
+
+to print Tcl.n.  If Tcl has been installed correctly and your "man" program
+supports it, you should be able to access the Tcl manual entries using the
+normal "man" mechanisms, such as
+
+		man Tcl
+
+2b. Windows Documentation
+-------------------------
+
+The "doc" subdirectory in this release contains a complete set of Windows
+help files for Tcl.  Once you install this Tcl release, a shortcut to the
+Windows help Tcl documentation will appear in the "Start" menu:
+
+	Start | Programs | Tcl | Tcl Help
+
+3. Compiling and installing Tcl
+-------------------------------
+
+There are brief notes in the unix/README, win/README, and macosx/README about
+compiling on these different platforms.  There is additional information
+about building Tcl from sources at
+
+	http://www.tcl.tk/doc/howto/compile.html
+
+4. Development tools
+---------------------------
+
+ActiveState produces a high quality set of commercial quality development
+tools that is available to accelerate your Tcl application development.
+Tcl Dev Kit builds on the earlier TclPro toolset and provides a debugger,
+static code checker, single-file wrapping utility, bytecode compiler and
+more.  More information can be found at
+
+	http://www.ActiveState.com/Tcl
+
+5. Tcl newsgroup
+----------------
+
+There is a USENET news group, "comp.lang.tcl", intended for the exchange of
+information about Tcl, Tk, and related applications.  The newsgroup is a
+great place to ask general information questions.  For bug reports, please
+see the "Support and bug fixes" section below.
+
+6. Tcl'ers Wiki
+---------------
+
+A Wiki-based open community site covering all aspects of Tcl/Tk is at:
+
+	http://wiki.tcl.tk/
+
+It is dedicated to the Tcl programming language and its extensions.  A
+wealth of useful information can be found there.  It contains code
+snippets, references to papers, books, and FAQs, as well as pointers to
+development tools, extensions, and applications.  You can also recommend
+additional URLs by editing the wiki yourself.
+
+7. Mailing lists
+----------------
+
+Several mailing lists are hosted at SourceForge to discuss development or
+use issues (like Macintosh and Windows topics).  For more information and
+to subscribe, visit:
+
+	http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl/
+

+8. Support and Training
+------------------------
+
+We are very interested in receiving bug reports, patches, and suggestions
+for improvements.  We prefer that you send this information to us as
+tickets entered into our tracker at:
+
+	http://core.tcl.tk/tcl/reportlist
+
+We will log and follow-up on each bug, although we cannot promise a
+specific turn-around time.  Enhancements may take longer and may not happen
+at all unless there is widespread support for them (we're trying to
+slow the rate at which Tcl/Tk turns into a kitchen sink).  It's very
+difficult to make incompatible changes to Tcl/Tk at this point, due to
+the size of the installed base.
+
+The Tcl community is too large for us to provide much individual support
+for users.  If you need help we suggest that you post questions to
+comp.lang.tcl.  We read the newsgroup and will attempt to answer esoteric
+questions for which no one else is likely to know the answer.  In addition,
+see the following Web site for links to other organizations that offer
+Tcl/Tk training:
+
+	http://wiki.tcl.tk/training
+
+9. Tracking Development
+-----------------------
+
+Tcl is developed in public.  To keep an eye on how Tcl is changing, see

+
+10. Thank You
+-------------
+
+We'd like to express our thanks to the Tcl community for all the
+helpful suggestions, bug reports, and patches we have received.
+Tcl/Tk has improved vastly and will continue to do so with your help.

-## <a id="intro">1.</a> Introduction
-Tcl provides a powerful platform for creating integration applications that
-tie together diverse applications, protocols, devices, and frameworks.
-When paired with the Tk toolkit, Tcl provides the fastest and most powerful
-way to create GUI applications that run on PCs, Unix, and Mac OS X.
-Tcl can also be used for a variety of web-related tasks and for creating
-powerful command languages for applications.
-
-Tcl is maintained, enhanced, and distributed freely by the Tcl community.
-Source code development and tracking of bug reports and feature requests
-takes place at [core.tcl-lang.org](https://core.tcl-lang.org/).
-Tcl/Tk release and mailing list services are [hosted by
-SourceForge](https://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl/)
-with the Tcl Developer Xchange hosted at
-[www.tcl-lang.org](https://www.tcl-lang.org).
-
-Tcl is a freely available open source package.  You can do virtually
-anything you like with it, such as modifying it, redistributing it,
-and selling it either in whole or in part.  See the file
-`license.terms` for complete information.
-
-## <a id="doc">2.</a> Documentation
-Extensive documentation is available at our website.
-The home page for this release, including new features, is
-[here](https://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/8.6.html).
-Detailed release notes can be found at the
-[file distributions page](https://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl/files/Tcl/)
-by clicking on the relevant version.
-
-Information about Tcl itself can be found at the [Developer
-Xchange](https://www.tcl-lang.org/about/).
-There have been many Tcl books on the market.  Many are mentioned in
-[the Wiki](https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/_/ref?N=25206).
-
-The complete set of reference manual entries for Tcl 8.6 is [online,
-here](https://www.tcl-lang.org/man/tcl8.6/).
-
-### <a id="doc.unix">2a.</a> Unix Documentation
-The `doc` subdirectory in this release contains a complete set of
-reference manual entries for Tcl.  Files with extension "`.1`" are for
-programs (for example, `tclsh.1`); files with extension "`.3`" are for C
-library procedures; and files with extension "`.n`" describe Tcl
-commands.  The file "`doc/Tcl.n`" gives a quick summary of the Tcl
-language syntax.  To print any of the man pages on Unix, cd to the
-"doc" directory and invoke your favorite variant of troff using the
-normal -man macros, for example
-
-		groff -man -Tpdf Tcl.n >output.pdf
-
-to print Tcl.n to PDF.  If Tcl has been installed correctly and your "man" program
-supports it, you should be able to access the Tcl manual entries using the
-normal "man" mechanisms, such as
-
-		man Tcl
-
-### <a id="doc.win">2b.</a> Windows Documentation
-The "doc" subdirectory in this release contains a complete set of Windows
-help files for Tcl.  Once you install this Tcl release, a shortcut to the
-Windows help Tcl documentation will appear in the "Start" menu:
-
-		Start | Programs | Tcl | Tcl Help
-
-## <a id="build">3.</a> Compiling and installing Tcl
-There are brief notes in the `unix/README`, `win/README`, and `macosx/README`
-about compiling on these different platforms.  There is additional information
-about building Tcl from sources
-[online](https://www.tcl-lang.org/doc/howto/compile.html).
-
-## <a id="devtools">4.</a> Development tools
-ActiveState produces a high quality set of commercial quality development
-tools that is available to accelerate your Tcl application development.
-Tcl Dev Kit builds on the earlier TclPro toolset and provides a debugger,
-static code checker, single-file wrapping utility, bytecode compiler and
-more.  More information can be found at
-
-	http://www.ActiveState.com/Tcl
-
-## <a id="complangtcl">5.</a> Tcl newsgroup
-There is a USENET news group, "`comp.lang.tcl`", intended for the exchange of
-information about Tcl, Tk, and related applications.  The newsgroup is a
-great place to ask general information questions.  For bug reports, please
-see the "Support and bug fixes" section below.
-
-## <a id="wiki">6.</a> Tcl'ers Wiki
-There is a [wiki-based open community site](https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/)
-covering all aspects of Tcl/Tk.
-
-It is dedicated to the Tcl programming language and its extensions.  A
-wealth of useful information can be found there.  It contains code
-snippets, references to papers, books, and FAQs, as well as pointers to
-development tools, extensions, and applications.  You can also recommend
-additional URLs by editing the wiki yourself.
-
-## <a id="email">7.</a> Mailing lists
-Several mailing lists are hosted at SourceForge to discuss development or use
-issues (like Macintosh and Windows topics).  For more information and to
-subscribe, visit [here](https://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl/) and go to the
-Mailing Lists page.
-
-## <a id="support">8.</a> Support and Training
-We are very interested in receiving bug reports, patches, and suggestions for
-improvements.  We prefer that you send this information to us as tickets
-entered into [our issue tracker](https://core.tcl-lang.org/tcl/reportlist).

-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.PP
-Tcl allows a number of mathematical functions to be used in
-expressions, such as \fBsin\fR, \fBcos\fR, and \fBhypot\fR.
-These functions are represented by commands in the namespace,
-\fBtcl::mathfunc\fR.  The \fBTcl_CreateMathFunc\fR function is
-an obsolete way for applications to add additional functions
-to those already provided by Tcl or to replace existing functions.
-It should not be used by new applications, which should create
-math functions using \fBTcl_CreateObjCommand\fR to create a command
-in the \fBtcl::mathfunc\fR namespace.
-.PP
-In the \fBTcl_CreateMathFunc\fR interface,
-\fIName\fR is the name of the function as it will appear in expressions.
-If \fIname\fR does not already exist in the \fB::tcl::mathfunc\fR
-namespace, then a new command is created in that namespace.
-If \fIname\fR does exist, then the existing function is replaced.
-\fINumArgs\fR and \fIargTypes\fR describe the arguments to the function.
-Each entry in the \fIargTypes\fR array must be
-one of \fBTCL_INT\fR, \fBTCL_DOUBLE\fR, \fBTCL_WIDE_INT\fR,
-or \fBTCL_EITHER\fR to indicate whether the corresponding argument must be an
-integer, a double-precision floating value, a wide (64-bit) integer,
-or any, respectively.
-.PP
-Whenever the function is invoked in an expression Tcl will invoke
-\fIproc\fR.  \fIProc\fR should have arguments and result that match
-the type \fBTcl_MathProc\fR:
-.PP
-.CS
-typedef int \fBTcl_MathProc\fR(
-        ClientData \fIclientData\fR,
-        Tcl_Interp *\fIinterp\fR,
-        Tcl_Value *\fIargs\fR,
-        Tcl_Value *\fIresultPtr\fR);
-.CE
-.PP
-When \fIproc\fR is invoked the \fIclientData\fR and \fIinterp\fR
-arguments will be the same as those passed to \fBTcl_CreateMathFunc\fR.
-\fIArgs\fR will point to an array of \fInumArgs\fR Tcl_Value structures,
-which describe the actual arguments to the function:
-.PP
-.CS
-typedef struct Tcl_Value {
-    Tcl_ValueType \fItype\fR;
-    long \fIintValue\fR;
-    double \fIdoubleValue\fR;
-    Tcl_WideInt \fIwideValue\fR;
-} \fBTcl_Value\fR;
-.CE
-.PP
-The \fItype\fR field indicates the type of the argument and is
-one of \fBTCL_INT\fR, \fBTCL_DOUBLE\fR or \fBTCL_WIDE_INT\fR.
-It will match the \fIargTypes\fR value specified for the function unless
-the \fIargTypes\fR value was \fBTCL_EITHER\fR. Tcl converts
-the argument supplied in the expression to the type requested in
-\fIargTypes\fR, if that is necessary.
-Depending on the value of the \fItype\fR field, the \fIintValue\fR,
-\fIdoubleValue\fR or \fIwideValue\fR
-field will contain the actual value of the argument.
-.PP
-\fIProc\fR should compute its result and store it either as an integer
-in \fIresultPtr->intValue\fR or as a floating value in
-\fIresultPtr->doubleValue\fR.
-It should set also \fIresultPtr->type\fR to one of
-\fBTCL_INT\fR, \fBTCL_DOUBLE\fR or \fBTCL_WIDE_INT\fR
-to indicate which value was set.
-Under normal circumstances \fIproc\fR should return \fBTCL_OK\fR.
-If an error occurs while executing the function, \fIproc\fR should
-return \fBTCL_ERROR\fR and leave an error message in the interpreter's result.
-.PP
-\fBTcl_GetMathFuncInfo\fR retrieves the values associated with
-function \fIname\fR that were passed to a preceding
-\fBTcl_CreateMathFunc\fR call.  Normally, the return code is
-\fBTCL_OK\fR but if the named function does not exist, \fBTCL_ERROR\fR
-is returned and an error message is placed in the interpreter's
-result.
-.PP
-If an error did not occur, the array reference placed in the variable
-pointed to by \fIargTypesPtr\fR is newly allocated, and should be
-released by passing it to \fBTcl_Free\fR.  Some functions (the
-standard set implemented in the core, and those defined by placing
-commands in the \fBtcl::mathfunc\fR namespace) do not have
-argument type information; attempting to retrieve values for
-them causes a NULL to be stored in the variable pointed to by
-\fIprocPtr\fR and the variable pointed to by \fIclientDataPtr\fR
-will not be modified.  The variable pointed to by \fInumArgsPointer\fR
-will contain -1, and no argument types will be stored in the variable
-pointed to by \fIargTypesPointer\fR.
-.PP
-\fBTcl_ListMathFuncs\fR returns a Tcl value containing a list of all
-the math functions defined in the interpreter whose name matches
-\fIpattern\fR.  The returned value has a reference count of zero.

-.PP
-\fINote: the \fBcase\fI command is obsolete and is supported only
-for backward compatibility.  At some point in the future it may be
-removed entirely.  You should use the \fBswitch\fI command instead.\fR
-.PP
-The \fBcase\fR command matches \fIstring\fR against each of
-the \fIpatList\fR arguments in order.
-Each \fIpatList\fR argument is a list of one or
-more patterns.  If any of these patterns matches \fIstring\fR then
-\fBcase\fR evaluates the following \fIbody\fR argument
-by passing it recursively to the Tcl interpreter and returns the result
-of that evaluation.
-Each \fIpatList\fR argument consists of a single
-pattern or list of patterns.  Each pattern may contain any of the wild-cards
-described under \fBstring match\fR.  If a \fIpatList\fR
-argument is \fBdefault\fR, the corresponding body will be evaluated
-if no \fIpatList\fR matches \fIstring\fR.  If no \fIpatList\fR argument
-matches \fIstring\fR and no default is given, then the \fBcase\fR
-command returns an empty string.
-.PP
-Two syntaxes are provided for the \fIpatList\fR and \fIbody\fR arguments.
-The first uses a separate argument for each of the patterns and commands;
-this form is convenient if substitutions are desired on some of the
-patterns or commands.
-The second form places all of the patterns and commands together into
-a single argument; the argument must have proper list structure, with
-the elements of the list being the patterns and commands.
-The second form makes it easy to construct multi-line case commands,
-since the braces around the whole list make it unnecessary to include a
-backslash at the end of each line.
-Since the \fIpatList\fR arguments are in braces in the second form,
-no command or variable substitutions are performed on them;  this makes
-the behavior of the second form different than the first form in some
-cases.

-String values may be used as operands of the comparison operators,
-although the expression evaluator tries to do comparisons as integer
-or floating-point when it can,
-i.e., when all arguments to the operator allow numeric interpretations,
-except in the case of the \fBeq\fR and \fBne\fR operators.
-If one of the operands of a comparison is a string and the other
-has a numeric value, a canonical string representation of the numeric
-operand value is generated to compare with the string operand.
-Canonical string representation for integer values is a decimal string
-format.  Canonical string representation for floating-point values
-is that produced by the \fB%g\fR format specifier of Tcl's
-\fBformat\fR command.  For example, the commands

-\fBexpr\fR {"0y" > "0x12"}
-.CE
-.PP
-both return 1.  The first comparison is done using integer
-comparison, and the second is done using string comparison.
-Because of Tcl's tendency to treat values as numbers whenever
-possible, it is not generally a good idea to use operators like \fB==\fR
-when you really want string comparison and the values of the
-operands could be arbitrary;  it is better in these cases to use
-the \fBeq\fR or \fBne\fR operators, or the \fBstring\fR command instead.
 .SH "PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS"
 .PP
-Enclose expressions in braces for the best speed and the smallest
-storage requirements.
-This allows the Tcl bytecode compiler to generate the best code.
-.PP
-As mentioned above, expressions are substituted twice:
-once by the Tcl parser and once by the \fBexpr\fR command.
-For example, the commands
+Where an expression contains syntax that Tcl would otherwise perform
+substitutions on, enclosing an expression in braces or otherwise quoting it
+so that it's a static value allows the Tcl compiler to generate bytecode for
+the expression, resulting in better speed and smaller storage requirements.
+This also avoids issues that can arise if Tcl is allowed to perform
+substitution on the value before \fBexpr\fR is called.
 .PP
+In the following example, the value of the expression is 11 because the Tcl parser first
+substitutes \fB$b\fR and \fBexpr\fR then substitutes \fB$a\fR.  Enclosing the
+expression in braces would result in a syntax error.
 .CS
 set a 3
 set b {$a + 2}
 \fBexpr\fR $b*4
 .CE
 .PP
-return 11, not a multiple of 4.
-This is because the Tcl parser will first substitute
-.QW "\fB$a + 2\fR"
-for the variable \fBb\fR,
-then the \fBexpr\fR command will evaluate the expression
-.QW "\fB$a + 2*4\fR" .
-.PP
-Most expressions do not require a second round of substitutions.
-Either they are enclosed in braces or, if not,
-their variable and command substitutions yield numbers or strings
-that do not themselves require substitutions.
-However, because a few unbraced expressions
-need two rounds of substitutions,
-the bytecode compiler must emit
-additional instructions to handle this situation.
-The most expensive code is required for
-unbraced expressions that contain command substitutions.
-These expressions must be implemented by generating new code
-each time the expression is executed.
-.PP
-If it is necessary to include a non-constant expression string within the
-wider context of an otherwise-constant expression, the most efficient
-technique is to put the varying part inside a recursive \fBexpr\fR, as this at
-least allows for the compilation of the outer part, though it does mean that
-the varying part must itself be evaluated as a separate expression. Thus, in
-this example the result is 20 and the outer expression benefits from fully
-cached bytecode compilation.
+
+When an expression is generated at runtime, like the one above is, the bytcode
+compiler must ensure that new code is generated each time the expression
+is evaluated.  This is the most costly kind of expression from a performance
+perspective.  In such cases, consider directly using the commands described in
+the \fBmathfunc\fR(n) or \fBmathop\fR(n) documentation instead of \fBexpr\fR.
+
+Most expressions are not formed at runtime, but are literal strings or contain
+substitutions that don't introduce other substitutions.  To allow the bytecode
+compiler to work with an expression as a string literal at compilation time,
+ensure that it contains no substitutions or that it is enclosed in braces or
+otherwise quoted to prevent Tcl from performing substitutions, allowing
+\fBexpr\fR to perform them instead.
