NaturalDocs:: Languages:: Tcl

Tcl’s function syntax is shown below.

proc [name] { [params] } { [code] }

This function creates a false positive to skip the first opening brace.  If there are no parameters, empty braces are usually used, although I don’t know if that’s a hard requirement.

Also, the parameters may have braces within them.  I’ve seen one that used { seconds 20 } as a parameter.

Tcl specifies parameters as a space-separated list in braces.  It’s also possible to nest braces in the parameters.

proc name { param1 param2 { seconds 20 } }

This function makes sure the parameters format correctly.
