What is otcl-dbg
otcl-dbg is:
OTcl, short for MIT Object Tcl, is an extension to Tcl/Tk for object-oriented programming. It shouldn’t be confused with the IXI Object Tcl extension by Dean Sheenan. (Sorry, but both of them like the name and have been using it for a while.)
Some of OTcl’s features as compared to alternatives are: designed to be dynamically extensible, like Tcl, from the ground up builds on Tcl syntax and concepts rather than importing another language compact yet powerful object programming system fairly portable implementation (2000 lines of C, without core hacks)
OTcl was created by David Wetherall as part of the VUsystem project at MIT. Since 1997, OTcl has been maintained as part of the Mash and VINT/ns efforts (with David’s blessing).
This package contains debug symbol of OTcl (for libotcl1 and otcl-shells). Build-Ids: 17ddd0b53c393f724766a5f006a1fd35f1651fa6 9980a0ff404a4de06869e9c3a906e476cf9c9593 a01826be6b4b862ff98976bdcfc68d0338ab78bc
