No binary/Encrypted TCL(tcl compiler) support in all cadence tools, but Yes in Synopsys!

 Currently everybody is talking out IP protection, including all TCL commands, but it seems that Cadence didn't do good job for this kind of IP proctection unlike synopsys. Now all byte-code TCL is supported very well in all synopsys tools, but not a tiny support in all cadence tools!

     I'm not taking about the theverilog/VHDL code. I'm saying the standard TCL commands used in synthesis/formal verification/P&R/static timing analysis EDA tools. For example, the following industry standard TCL syntax:

     set TTT 1

    if {$TT} {

    echo "it's good!!!"

    }

    If you source above tcl commands in any EDA tools, that's fine, but if you compile them to binay/byteCode using any Tcl Compiler(such as TclPro or ActiveTCL), Cadence EDA tools won't support those compiled tcl command, but Synopsys's support them very well.
