Where are the TCL_MAJOR_VERSION, TCL_MINOR_VERSION, & TCL_BUGFIX_VERSION set? There are listed as globals in pd-gui.tcl and don't seem to be set on mac when running Pd from the command line. I'm trying to check the BUGFIX version in order to detect if the buggy 8.5.9 is being used on macOS.

I don't have any idea what's going on there... I've used [info tclversion] in the past.

$::tcl_version returns a float of major.minor and [info patchlevel] returns a string which I can break apart but was thinking I didn't have to since these variables are there.

here they are set to (0,0,0), which is the default in pd-gui.tcl:117ff (for all platforms). since it's nowhere used (neither set nor consumed), despite the comment on top of it, it should probably be removed completely.

Well, I'm hoping to use them or at least the patch level. That made more sense to me then parsing the patchlevel string each time.

In that case I'd recommend making it a function of some sort, not global variables, which have bitten us in the past. In particular, global vars are complicated to use during start-up as you have to be careful about what order everything runs in.

or define your actual workhorse function depending on the tcl-version. so you only need to parse it once:
~~~ if { broken_tcl } { proc do_something {} { # implementation for broken TCL/TK } } { proc do_something {} { # implementation for working TCL/TK } }
do_something ~~~
the beauty of dynamic languages...

Gotcha. We more or less removed them in IOhannes updated PR: https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/225 https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/225
