The et2c preprocessor attempts to save memory and
improve performance of your application by removing comments and
unnecessary spaces from the Tcl/Tk code inside
ET()
functions and loaded by ET_INCLUDE()
statements.
This mechanism works well most of the time, but it is not
foolproof.
It is theoretically possible for a valid Tcl/Tk script to be corrupted
by et2c's compression attempts.
If you experience trouble, and suspect that
et2c is messing up your Tcl/Tk code, then you can
turn script compression off using the
-nocompress command line option.
