  • Tilde expansion bug in Tk 9.0 for Windows

    From Michael Soyka@mssr953@gmail.com to comp.lang.tcl on Sun Oct 27 17:13:54 2024

    Tcl/Tk developers-

    Although automatic tilde expansion has been removed from Tcl version 9,
    I found one instance in the Tk sources where it hasn't been addressed. Specifically, in tk/win/winMain.c, the Tcl variable "tcl_rcFileName" is apparently given the value "~/wishrc.tcl".

    I noticed this because my version of wish90 does not source this file as earlier versions did.

    This is a known bug which could not be fixed as the tilde expansion did
    not have a C interface jet.
    This will be corrected by currently TIP 701 (in voting).

    https://core.tcl-lang.org/tk/tktview/fcfddc9f6d

    The file you found were not jet in the list. I added it to this bug.

    Thanks for all,
    Harald

    Please continue within the Ticket. Apparently, a fix in TCL was not
    copied to Tk.

    Thanks,
