+A NOTE ON THE CHANGELOG:
+Starting in early 2011, Tcl source code has been under the management of
+fossil, hosted at http://core.tcl.tk/tcl/ . Fossil presents a "Timeline"
+view of changes made that is superior in every way to a hand edited log file.
+Because of this, many Tcl developers are now out of the habit of maintaining
+this log file. You may still find useful things in it, but the Timeline is
+a better first place to look now.

+
+2013-07-02 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

+ issue.
+
+2013-06-17 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/regc_locale.c: Bug [a876646efe]: re_expr character class
+ [:cntrl:] should contain \u0000 - \u001f
+
+2013-06-09 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmdsSZ.c (TclCompileTryCmd): [Bug 779d38b996]:
+ Rewrote the [try] compiler to generate better code in some cases and
+ to behave correctly in others; when an error happens during the
+ processing of an exception-trap clause or a finally clause, the
+ *original* return options are now captured in a -during option, even
+ when fully compiled.
+
+2013-06-05 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (INST_EXPAND_DROP): [Bugs 2835313, 3614226]:
+ New opcode to allow resetting the stack to get rid of an expansion,
+ restoring the stack to a known state in the process.
+ * generic/tclCompile.c, generic/tclCompCmds.c: Adjusted the compilers
+ for [break] and [continue] to get stack cleanup right in the majority
+ of cases.

+
+2013-06-04 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

+
+2013-06-03 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c: fix for perf bug detected by Kieran
+ (https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/comp.lang.tcl/vfpI3bc-DkQ),
+ diagnosed by dgp to be a close relative of [Bug 781585], which was
+ fixed by commit [f46fb50cb3]. This bug was introduced by myself in
+ commit [cbfe055d8c].
+
+2013-06-03 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileBreakCmd, TclCompileContinueCmd):
+ Added code to allow [break] and [continue] to be issued as a jump (in
+ the most common cases) rather than using the more expensive exception
+ processing path in the bytecode engine. [Bug 3614226]: Partial fix for
+ the issues relating to cleaning up the stack when dealing with [break]
+ and [continue].
+
+2013-05-27 Harald Oehlmann <oehhar@users.sf.net>
+
+ * library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl: [Bug 3036566]: Also get locale from
+ registry key HCU\Control Panel\Desktop : PreferredUILanguages to honor
+ installed language packs on Vista+.
+ Bumped msgcat version to 1.5.2
+
+2013-05-22 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * tclCompile.c: Removed duplicate const qualifier causing the HP
+ native cc to error out.
+
+2013-05-22 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclUtf.c (TclUtfCasecmp): [Bug 3613609]: Replace problematic
+ uses of strcasecmp with a proper UTF-8-aware version. Affects both
+ [lsearch -nocase] and [lsort -nocase].
+
+2013-05-22 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * doc/file.n: [Bug 3613671]: Added note to portability section on the
+ fact that [file owned] does not produce useful results on Windows.
+
+2013-05-20 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (DefaultTempDir): [Bug 3613567]: Corrected logic
+ for checking return code of access() system call, which was inverted.
+
+2013-05-19 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * unix/tcl.m4: Fix for FreeBSD, and remove support for older
+ * unix/configure: FreeBSD versions. Patch by Pietro Cerutti.
+
+2013-05-18 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmdsGR.c: Split tclCompCmds.c again to keep size of
+ code down.
+
+2013-05-16 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: Add panic in order to detect incompatible
+ mingw32 sys/stat.h and sys/time.h headers.
+
+2013-05-13 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * compat/zlib/*: Upgrade to zlib 1.2.8
+
+2013-05-10 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ Optimizations and general bytecode generation improvements.
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileAppendCmd, TclCompileLappendCmd):
+ (TclCompileReturnCmd): Make these generate bytecode in more cases.
+ (TclCompileListCmd): Make this able to push a literal when it can.
+ * generic/tclCompile.c (TclSetByteCodeFromAny, PeepholeOptimize):
+ Added checks to see if we can apply some simple cross-command-boundary
+ optimizations, and defined a small number of such optimizations.
+ (TclCompileScript): Added the special ability to compile the list
+ command with expansion ([list {*}blah]) into bytecode that does not
+ call an external command.
+
+2013-05-06 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclStubInit.c: Add support for Cygwin64, which has a 64-bit
+ * generic/tclDecls.h: "long" type. Binary compatibility with win64
+ requires that all stub entries use 32-bit long's, therefore the need
+ for various wrapper functions/macros. For Tcl 9 a better solution is
+ needed, but that cannot be done without introducing binary
+ incompatibility.
+
+2013-04-30 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * library/platform/platform.tcl (::platform::LibcVersion):
+ * library/platform/pkgIndex.tcl: Followup to the 2013-01-30 change.

+ version. Loosened up a bit. Bumped package to version 1.0.12.
+
+2013-04-29 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileArraySetCmd): Generate better code
+ when the list of things to set is a literal.
+
+2013-04-25 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclDecls.h: Implement Tcl_NewBooleanObj, Tcl_DbNewBooleanObj
+ and Tcl_SetBooleanObj as macros using Tcl_NewIntObj, Tcl_DbNewLongObj
+ and Tcl_SetIntObj. Starting with Tcl 8.5, this is exactly the same, it
+ only eliminates code duplication.
+ * generic/tclInt.h: Eliminate use of NO_WIDE_TYPE everywhere: It's
+ exactly the same as TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG
+
+2013-04-19 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclDecls.h: Implement many Tcl_*Var* functions and
+ Tcl_GetIndexFromObj as (faster/stack-saving) macros around resp their
+ Tcl_*Var*2 equivalent and Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct.
+
+2013-04-12 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclDecls.h: Implement Tcl_Pkg* functions as
+ (faster/stack-saving) macros around Tcl_Pkg*Ex functions.
+
+2013-04-08 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/regc_color.c: [Bug 3610026]: Stop crash when the number of
+ * generic/regerrs.h: "colors" in a regular expression overflows a
+ * generic/regex.h: short int. Thanks to Heikki Linnakangas for
+ * generic/regguts.h: the report and the patch.
+ * tests/regexp.test:
+
+2013-04-04 Reinhard Max <max@suse.de>
+
+ * library/http/http.tcl (http::geturl): Allow URLs that don't have a
+ path, but a query query, e.g. http://example.com?foo=bar
+ * Bump the http package to 2.8.7.

+
+2013-02-14 Harald Oehlmann <oehhar@users.sf.net>
+
+ * library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl: [Bug 3604576]: Catch missing registry
+ entry "HCU\Control Panel\International".

+
+2013-02-11 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclZlib.c (ZlibTransformOutput): [Bug 3603553]: Ensure that
+ data gets written to the underlying stream by compressing transforms

+
+2013-02-05 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2013-02-05 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclLoadNone.c (TclpLoadMemory): [Bug 3433012]: Added dummy

+
+ * library/http/http.tcl (http::geturl): [Bug 2911139]: Do not do vwait

+
+ * generic/tclInt.decls: Put back Tcl[GS]etStartupScript(Path|FileName)
+ in private stub table, so extensions using this (like Tk 8.4) will

+ still cannot be compiled against Tcl 8.6 headers.
+
+2013-01-18 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclPort.h: [Bug 3598300]: unix: tcl.h does not include

+
+2013-01-17 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (PushVarName): [Bug 3600328]: Added mechanism
+ for suppressing compilation of variables when we couldn't cope with
+ the results. Useful for some [array] subcommands.
+ * generic/tclEnsemble.c (CompileToCompiledCommand): Must restore the
+ compilation environment when a command compiler fails.
+
+2013-01-16 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>

+
+ * Makefile.in: Allow win32 build with -DTCL_NO_DEPRECATED, just as

+ * generic/tclDecls.h: Tcl_GlobalEvalObj as macros, even when
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: TCL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, so Tk can benefit
+ from it too.

+2013-01-07 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclOOStubLib.c: Restrict the stub library to only use
+ * generic/tclTomMathStubLib.c: Tcl_PkgRequireEx, Tcl_ResetResult and

+
+2013-01-04 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclEnsemble.c (CompileBasicNArgCommand): Added very simple
+ compiler (which just compiles to a normal invoke of the implementation
+ command) for many ensemble subcommands where we can prove that there
+ is no way for scripts to detect the difference even through error
+ handling or [info level]/[info frame]. This improves the code produced
+ from some ensembles (e.g., [info], [string]) to the point where the
+ ensemble is now not normally seen at the bytecode level at all.

+
+2013-01-02 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclEnsemble.c: Remove stray calls to Tcl_Alloc and friends:

+2012-11-26 Reinhard Max <max@suse.de>
+
+ * unix/tclUnixSock.c: Factor out creation of the -sockname and

+
+ * library/http/http.tcl (http::Finish): [Bug 3581754]: Ensure that
+ callbacks are done at most once to prevent problems with timeouts on a
+ keep-alive connection (combined with reentrant http package use)
+ causing excessive stack growth. Not a fix for the underlying problem,
+ but ensures that pain will be mostly kept away from users.
+ Bump http package to 2.8.5.
+
+2012-11-05 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ Added bytecode compilation of many Tcl commands. Some of these are
+ total compilations and some are only partial (i.e., only compile in
+ some cases). The (sub-)commands affected are:
+ * array: exists, set, unset
+ * dict: create, exists, merge
+ * format: (simple cases only)
+ * info: commands, coroutine, level, object
+ * info object: class, isa object, namespace
+ * namespace: current, code, qualifiers, tail, which
+ * regsub: (only cases convertable to simple [string map])
+ * self: (only no-argument and [self object] cases)
+ * string: first, last, map, range
+ * tailcall:
+ * yield:
+
+ [This was work originally done on the 'dkf-compile-misc-info' branch.]
+
+2012-11-05 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#413
+
+ Align the [string trim] and [string is space] commands, such that
+ [string trim] by default trims all characters for which [string is
+ space] returns 1, augmented with the NUL character.
+
+ * generic/tclUtf.c: Add NEL, BOM and two more characters to [string is
+ space]
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Modify [string trim] for Unicode modifications.
+ * generic/regc_locale.c: Regexp engine must match [string is space]
+ * doc/string.n
+ * tests/string.test
+ ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+ Code that relied on characters not previously trimmed being not
+ removed will notice a difference; it is believed that this is rare,
+ but a workaround to get the behavior in Tcl 8.5 is to use " \t\n\r" as
+ an explicit trim set.
+
+2012-10-31 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

+
+2012-10-23 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h: Add "flags" parameter from Tcl_LoadFile to

+
+2012-10-16 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#405
+
+ New commands for applying a transformation to the elements of a list
+ to produce another list (the [lmap] command) and to the mappings of a
+ dictionary to produce another dictionary (the [dict map] command). In
+ both cases, a [continue] will cause the skipping of an element/pair,
+ and a [break] will terminate the construction early and successfully.
+
+ * generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_LmapObjCmd, TclNRLmapCmd): Implementation of
+ the new [lmap] command, based on (and sharing much of) [foreach].
+ * generic/tclDictObj.c (DictMapNRCmd): Implementation of the new [dict
+ map] subcommand, based on (and sharing much of) [dict for].
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileLmapCmd, TclCompileDictMapCmd):
+ Compilation engines for [lmap] and [dict map].
+
+ IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#400
+
+ * generic/tclZlib.c: Allow the specification of a compression
+ dictionary (a binary blob used to seed the compression engine) in both
+ streams and channel transformations. Also some reorganization to allow
+ for getting gzip header dictionaries and controlling buffering levels
+ in channel transformations (allowing a trade-off between formal
+ correctness and speed).
+ (Tcl_ZlibStreamSetCompressionDictionary): New C API to allow setting
+ the compression dictionary without using a Tcl script.
+
+2012-10-14 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclDictObj.c: [Bug 3576509]: ::tcl::Bgerror crashes with

+
+2012-10-13 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

+ easier.
+ ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+ If you'd previously been using the "<cloned>" method name, this now
+ has a standard semantics and call interface. Only a problem if you are
+ also using [oo::copy].

+ IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#380.
+
+ * doc/define.n, doc/object.n, generic/tclOO.c, generic/tclOOBasic.c:
+ * generic/tclOOCall.c, generic/tclOODefineCmds.c, generic/tclOOInt.h:
+ * tests/oo.test: Switch definitions of lists of things in objects and
+ classes to a slot-based approach, which gives a lot more flexibility
+ and programmability at the script-level. Introduce new [::oo::Slot]
+ class which is the implementation of these things.
+
+ ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+ The unknown method handler now may be asked to deal with the case
+ where no method name is provided at all. The default implementation
+ generates a compatible error message, and any override that forces the
+ presence of a first argument (i.e., a method name) will continue to
+ function as at present as well, so this is a pretty small change.
+
+ * generic/tclOOBasic.c (TclOO_Object_Destroy): Made it easier to do a
+ tailcall inside a normally-invoked destructor; prevented leakage out
+ to calling command.

+2011-09-22 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdIL.c: Revise [info frame] so that it stops creating

+
+2011-09-19 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/ioTrans.test: Conversion from [testthread] to Thread package

+ the [testthread cancel] testing command are leaky. Corrections wait
+ for either addition of [thread::cancel] to the Thread package, or
+ improvements to the [testthread] testing command to make leak-free
+ versions of these tests possible.
+
+ * generic/tclIORChan.c: Plug all memory leaks in ioCmd.test exposed

+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Revised TclFindElement() interface. The final
+ * generic/tclDictObj.c: argument had been bracePtr, the address of a
+ * generic/tclListObj.c: boolean var, where the caller can be told
+ * generic/tclParse.c: whether or not the parsed list element was
+ * generic/tclUtil.c: enclosed in braces. In practice, no callers
+ really care about that. What the callers really want to know is
+ whether the list element value exists as a literal substring of the
+ string being parsed, or whether a call to TclCopyAndCollpase() is
+ needed to produce the list element value. Now the final argument is
+ changed to do what callers actually need. This is a better fit for the
+ calls in tclParse.c, where now a good deal of post-processing checking
+ for "naked backslashes" is no longer necessary.
+ ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+ For any callers calling in via the internal stubs table who really do
+ use the final argument explicitly to check for the enclosing brace
+ scenario. Simply looking for the braces where they must be is the
+ revision available to those callers, and it will backport cleanly.
+
+ * tests/parse.test: Tests for expanded literals quoting detection.
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmdsSZ.c: New TclFindElement() is also a better
+ fit for the [switch] compiler.
+

+
+ * generic/tclCompCmdsSZ.c: Rewrite of parts of the switch compiler to

+ that no Tcl_HashEntry pointers are held (because the hash table
+ doesn't guarantee their stability!) and to eliminate the BBHash

+
+ * generic/tclOO.h, generic/tclOOInt.h: [Patch 2961556]: Change TclOO
+ to use the same style of function typedefs as Tcl, as this is about

+
+ ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+ Source code that uses function typedefs from TclOO will need to update

+ values are used instead. Binary compatibility is not affected.
+
+ * generic/*.c, generic/tclInt.h, unix/*.c, macosx/*.c: Applied results
+ of doing a Code Audit. Principal changes:
+ * Use do { ... } while (0) in macros
+ * Avoid shadowing one local variable with another
+ * Use clearer 'foo.bar++;' instead of '++foo.bar;' where result not
+ required (i.e., semantically equivalent); clarity is increased
+ because it is bar that is incremented, not foo.
+ * Follow Engineering Manual rules on spacing and declarations
+

+
+ * generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main): [Bug 801429]: Factor out the holding

+ nasty edge case where a zero length match would not advance the index.
+ * tests/regexp.test: Add regression tests back ported from Jacl.
+ Checks for a number of issues related to -line and newline handling. A
+ few of tests were broken before the patch and continue to be broken,
+ marked as knownBug.
+
+2010-02-11 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclOO.c (ObjectRenamedTrace): [Bug 2949397]: Prevent
+ destructors from running on the two core class objects when the whole
+ interpreter is being destroyed.
+
+2010-02-09 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileTryCmd, IssueTryInstructions)
+ (IssueTryFinallyInstructions): Added compiler for the [try] command.
+ It is split into three pieces that handle the parsing of the tokens,
+ the issuing of instructions for finally-free [try], and the issuing of
+ instructions for [try] with finally; there are enough differences
+ between the all cases that it was easier to split the code rather than
+ have a single function do the whole thing.
+
+2010-02-09 Alexandre Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tools/genStubs.tcl: Remove dependency on 8.5+ idiom "in" in
+ expressions.
+
+2010-02-08 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclZlib.c (Tcl_ZlibDeflate, Tcl_ZlibInflate): [Bug 2947783]:
+ Make sure that the result is an unshared object before appending to it
+ so that nothing crashes if it is shared (use in Tcl code was not
+ affected by this, but use from C was an issue).
+
+2010-02-06 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclHash.c (HashStringKey): Replace Tcl's crusty old hash
+ * generic/tclObj.c (TclHashObjKey): function with the algorithm
+ due to Fowler, Noll and Vo. This is slightly faster (assuming the
+ presence of hardware multiply) and has somewhat better distribution
+ properties of the resulting hash values. Note that we only ever used
+ the 32-bit version of the FNV algorithm; Tcl's core hash engine
+ assumes that hash values are simple unsigned ints.
+
+ ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+ Code that depends on hash iteration order (especially tests) may well
+ be disrupted by this. Where a definite order is required, the fix is
+ usually to just sort the results after extracting them from the hash.
+ Where this is insufficient, the code that has ceased working was
+ always wrong and was only working by chance.
+
+2010-02-05 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileErrorCmd): Added compilation of the
+ [error] command. No new bytecodes.
+
+2010-02-05 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * tools/genStubs.tcl: Follow-up to earlier commit today:
+ Eliminate the need for an extra Stubs Pointer for adressing
+ a static stub table: Just change the exported table from
+ static to MODULE_SCOPE.

+
+ * generic/tclVar.c: More consistency in errorcode generation.
+
+ * generic/tclOOBasic.c (TclOO_Object_Destroy): Rewrote to be NRE-aware
+ when calling destructors. Note that there is no guarantee that
+ destructors will always be called in an NRE context; that's a feature
+ of the 'destroy' method only.
+
+ * generic/tclEncoding.c: Add 'const' to many function-internal vars
+ that are never pointing to things that are written to.
+
+2010-02-05 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * tools/genStubs.tcl: Follow-up to [2010-01-29] commit:

+ * generic/tcl.h: VOID -> void and other formatting
+ * generic/tclInt.h: Minor formatting

+
+2010-02-04 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclVar.c: Added more use of error-codes and reduced the
+ stack overhead of older interfaces.
+ (ArrayGetCmd): Stop silly crash when using a trivial pattern due to

+ (ArrayNamesCmd): Use the object RE interface for faster matching.
+
+2010-02-03 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclVar.c (ArrayUnsetCmd): More corrections.
+
+2010-02-02 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclVar.c: Turned the [array] command into a true ensemble.
+
+ * generic/tclOO.c (AllocObject, MyDeleted): A slightly faster way to
+ handle the deletion of [my] is with a standard delete callback. This
+ is because it doesn't require an additional memory allocation during
+ object creation. Also reduced the amount of string manipulation
+ performed during object creation to further streamline memory
+ handling; this is not backported to the 8.5 package as it breaks a
+ number of abstractions.
+
+ * generic/tclOOBasic.c (TclOO_Object_Destroy): [Bug 2944404]: Do not
+ crash when a destructor deletes the object that is executing that
+ destructor.
+
+2010-02-01 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd): [Bug 2939073]: Stop the [array

+ trace deletes the element that is going to be processed next. Many
+ thanks to Alexandre Ferrieux for the bulk of this fix.
+
+ * generic/regexec.c (ccondissect, crevdissect): [Bug 2942697]: Rework
+ these functions so that certain pathological patterns are matched much
+ more rapidly. Many thanks to Tom Lane for dianosing this issue and
+ providing an initial patch.

+
+ * generic/tclVar.c (TclPtrUnsetVar): Var reference version of the code
+ to unset a variable. Required for INST_UNSET bytecodes.
+
+2010-01-29 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tcl.h: [Bug 2942081]: Reverted Tcl_ThreadDataKey type change
+ Changed some Tcl_CallFrame fields from "char *"
+ to "void *". This saves unnecessary space on
+ Cray's (and it's simply more correct).
+
+ * tools/genStubs.tcl: No longer generate a space after "*" and
+ immediately after a function name, so the
+ format of function definitions in tcl*Decls.h
+ match all other tcl*.h header files.
+ * doc/ParseArgs.3: Change Tcl_ArgvFuncProc, Tcl_ArgvGenFuncProc
+ * generic/tcl.h: and GetFrameInfoValueProc to be function
+ * generic/tclInt.h: definitions, not pointers, for consistency
+ * generic/tclOOInt.h: with all other Tcl function definitions.

+2010-01-28 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclOOBasic.c (TclOO_Object_Destroy): Move the execution of
+ destructors to a point where they can produce an error. This will not
+ work for all destructors, but it does mean that more failing calls of
+ them will be caught.
+ * generic/tclOO.c (AllocObject, MyDeletedTrace, ObjectRenamedTrace):
+ (ObjectNamespaceDeleted): Stop various ways of getting at commands
+ with dangling pointers to the object. Also increases the reliability
+ of calling of destructors (though most destructors won't benefit; when
+ an object is deleted namespace-first, its destructors are not run in a
+ nice state as the namespace is partially gone).
+

+
+ * generic/tclIO.c (CreateScriptRecord): [Bug 2918110]: Initialize

+
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_AppendFormatToObj): [Bug 2932421]: Stop

+ which is more dynamically created than the generator expects.
+
+ Further note that the file "clock.tcl" is explicitly loaded by
+ "init.tcl", the first time the clock command is invoked. The relevant
+ code can be found at line 172ff, roughly, the definition of the
+ procedure 'clock'. This means none of the procedures of this file

+
+2009-11-05 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * library/safe.tcl: A series of patches which bring the SafeBase up to
+ date with code guidelines, Tcl's features, also eliminating a number
+ of inefficiencies along the way.
+ (1) Changed all procedure names to be fully qualified.
+ (2) Moved the procedures out of the namespace eval. Kept their
+ locations. IOW, broke the namespace eval apart into small sections not
+ covering the procedure definitions.
+ (3) Reindented the code. Just lots of whitespace changes.
+ Functionality unchanged.
+ (4) Moved the multiple namespace eval's around. Command export at the
+ top, everything else (var decls, argument parsing setup) at the
+ bottom.
+ (5) Moved the argument parsing setup into a procedure called when the
+ code is loaded. Easier management of temporary data.
+ (6) Replaced several uses of 'Set' with calls to the new procedure
+ 'InterpState' and direct access to the per-slave state array.
+ (7) Replaced the remaining uses of 'Set' and others outside of the
+ path/token handling, and deleted a number of procedures related to
+ state array access which are not used any longer.
+ (8) Converted the path token system to cache normalized paths and path
+ <-> token conversions. Removed more procedures not used any longer.
+ Removed the test cases 4.3 and 4.4 from safe.test. They were testing
+ the now deleted command "InterpStateName".
+ (9) Changed the log command setup so that logging is compiled out
+ completely when disabled (default).
+ (10) Misc. cleanup. Inlined IsInterp into CheckInterp, its only user.
+ Consistent 'return -code error' for error reporting. Updated to use
+ modern features (lassign, in/ni, dicts). The latter are used to keep a
+ reverse path -> token map and quicker check of existence.
+ (11) Fixed [Bug 2854929]: Recurse into all subdirs under all TM root
+ dirs and put them on the access path.

+
+ * doc/Cancel.3: Minor cosmetic fixes.
+ * win/makefile.vc: Make htmlhelp target work again. An extra set of
+ double quotes around the definition of the HTML help compiler tool
+ appears to be required. Previously, there was one set of double
+ quotes around the definition of the tool and one around the actual
+ invocation. This led to confusion because it was the only such tool
+ path to include double quotes around its invocation. Also, it was
+ somewhat inflexible in the event that somebody needed to override the
+ tool command to include arguments. Therefore, even though it may look
+ "wrong", there are now two double quotes on either side of the tool
+ path definition. This fixes the problem that currently prevents the
+ htmlhelp target from building and maintains flexibility in case
+ somebody needs to override it via the command line or an environment
+ variable.

+
+2009-10-29 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tcl.h: Changed the typedef for the mp_digit type
+ from:
+ typedef unsigned long mp_digit;
+ to:
+ typedef unsigned int mp_digit;
+ For 32-bit builds where "long" and "int" are two names for the same
+ thing, this is no change at all. For 64-bit builds, though, this
+ causes the dp[] array of an mp_int to be made up of 32-bit elements
+ instead of 64-bit elements. This is a huge improvement because
+ details elsewhere in the mp_int implementation cause only 28 bits of
+ each element to be actually used storing number data. Without this
+ change bignums are over 50% wasted space on 64-bit systems. [Bug
+ 2800740].
+
+ ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+ For 64-bit builds, callers of routines with (mp_digit) or (mp_digit *)
+ arguments *will*, and callers of routines with (mp_int *) arguments
+ *may* suffer both binary and stubs incompatibilities with Tcl releases
+ 8.5.0 - 8.5.7. Such possibilities should be checked, and if such
+ incompatibilities are present, suitable [package require] requirements
+ on the Tcl release should be put in place to keep such built code
+ [load]-ing only in Tcl interps that are compatible.

+
+ * generic/tclLiteral.c: [Bug 2888044]: Fixed 2 bugs.
+ * tests/info.test: First, as noted in the comments of the
+ TclCleanupLiteralTable routine, since the teardown of the intrep of
+ one Tcl_Obj can cause the teardown of others in the same table, the
+ full table cleanup must be done with care, but the code did not
+ contain the same care demanded in the comment. Second, recent
+ additions to the info.test file had poor hygiene, leaving an array

+
+ * unix/Makefile.in: Removed the long outdated and broken targets

+
+2009-10-06 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclInterp.c (SlaveEval): Agressive stomping of internal reps

+
+ * generic/tclTomMathInt.h (new): Public header tclTomMath.h had

+
+2009-09-17 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompile.c: Re-implement Tcl_SubstObj() as a simple
+ * generic/tclParse.c: wrapper around TclNRSubstObj(). This has
+ * tests/basic.test: the effect of caching compiled bytecode in
+ * tests/parse.test: the value to be substituted. Note that
+ Tcl_SubstObj() now exists only for extensions. Tcl itself no longer
+ makes any use of it. Note also that TclSubstTokens() is now reachable
+ only by Tcl_EvalEx() and Tcl_ParseVar() so tests aiming to test its

+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSubstCmd): [Bug 2314561]:
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: Added a bytecode compiler routine for the

+
+ Extended the bytecode compiler initialization to recognize the
+ compilation of whole files (NRE enabled 'source' command) and switch
+ to the counting of absolute lines in that case.
+
+ Further extended the bytecode compiler to track the start line in the
+ generated information, and modified the bytecode execution to
+ recompile an object if the location as per the calling context doesn't
+ match the location saved in the bytecode. This part could be optimized
+ more by using more memory to keep all possibilities which occur
+ around, or by just adjusting the location information instead of a
+ total recompile.
+
+ Reworked the handling of literal command arguments in bytecode to be
+ saved (compiler) and used (execution) per command (See the
+ TCL_INVOKE_STK* instructions), and not per the whole bytecode. This,
+ and the previous change remove the problems with location data caused
+ by literal sharing (across whole files, but also proc bodies).
+ Simplified the associated datastructures (ExtIndex is gone, as is the
+ function EnterCmdWordIndex).
+
+ The last change causes the hashtable 'lineLABCPtr' to be state which
+ has to be kept per coroutine, like the CmdFrame stack. Reworked the
+ coroutine support code to create, delete and switch the information as
+ needed. Further reworked the tailcall command as well, it has to pop
+ its own arguments when run in a bytecode context to keep a proper
+ stack in 'lineLABCPtr'.
+
+ Fixed the mishandling of line information in the NRE-enabled 'for' and
+ 'while' commands introduced when both were made to share their
+ iteration callbacks without taking into account that the loop body is
+ found in different words of the command. Introduced a separate data
+ structure to hold all the callback information, as we went over the
+ limit of 4 direct client-data values for NRE callbacks.
+
+ The above fixes [Bug 1605269].

+2009-02-21 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c: Several revisions to the shimmering
+ patterns between Unicode and UTF string reps. Most notably the
+ call: objPtr = Tcl_NewUnicodeObj(...,0); followed by a loop of calls:
+ Tcl_AppendUnicodeToObj(objPtr, u, n); will now grow and append to
+ the Unicode representation. Before this commit, the sequence would
+ convert each append to UTF and perform the append to the UTF rep.
+ This is puzzling and likely a bug. The performance of [string map]
+ is significantly improved by this change (according to the MAP
+ collection of benchmarks in tclbench). Just in case there was some
+ wisdom in the old ways that I missed, I left in the ability to restore
+ the old patterns with a #define COMPAT 1 at the top of the file.

+
+ * generic/tclPathObj.c: [Bug 2571597]: Fixed mistaken logic in

+2009-02-18 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c: Simplify the logic of the
+ Tcl_*SetObjLength() routines.
+
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c: Rewrite GrowStringBuffer() so that it
+ has parallel structure with GrowUnicodeBuffer(). The revision permits
+ allocation attempts to continue all the way up to failure, with no
+ gap. It also directly manipulates the String and Tcl_Obj internals
+ instead of inefficiently operating via Tcl_*SetObjLength() with all of
+ its extra protections and underdocumented special cases.

+ * generic/tclStringObj.c: Another round of simplification on
+ the allocation macros.

+
+2009-02-17 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c: Pare back the length of the unicode
+ array in a non-extended String struct to one Tcl_UniChar, meant to
+ hold the terminating NUL character. Non-empty unicode strings are
+ then stored by extending the String struct by stringPtr->maxChars
+ additional slots in that array with sizeof(Tcl_UniChar) bytes per
+ slot. This revision makes the allocation macros much simpler.
+
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c: Factor out common GrowUnicodeBuffer()
+ and solve overflow and growth algorithm fallbacks in it.
+
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c: Factor out common GrowStringBuffer().
+
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c: Convert Tcl_AppendStringsToObj into
+ * tests/stringObj.test: a radically simpler implementation
+ where we just loop over calls to Tcl_AppendToObj. This fixes [Bug
+ 2597185]. It also creates a *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** in
+ that T_ASTO can now allocate more space than is strictly required,
+ like all the other Tcl_Append* routines. The incompatibility was
+ detected by test stringObj-6.5, which I've updated to reflect the
+ new behavior.
+
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c: Revise buffer growth implementation
+ in ExtendStringRepWithUnicode. Use cheap checks to determine that
+ no reallocation is necessary without cost of computing the precise
+ number of bytes needed. Also make use of the string growth algortihm
+ in the case of repeated appends.

+
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c: Factor out duplicate code from

+
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c: Replace the 'size_t uallocated' field
+ of the String struct, storing the number of bytes allocated to store
+ the Tcl_UniChar array, with an 'int maxChars' field, storing the
+ number of Tcl_UniChars that may be stored in the allocated space.
+ This reduces memory requirement a small bit, and makes some range
+ checks simpler to code.
+ * generic/tclTestObj.c: Replace the [teststringobj ualloc] testing
+ * tests/stringObj.test: command with [teststringobj maxchars] and
+ update the tests.
+
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c: Removed limitation in
+ Tcl_AppendObjToObj where the char length of the result was only
+ computed if the appended string was all single byte characters.
+ This limitation was in place to dodge a bug in Tcl_GetUniChar.
+ With that bug gone, we can take advantage of always recording the
+ length of append results when we know it.
+
+2009-02-14 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c: Revisions so that we avoid creating
+ the strange representation of an empty string with
+ objPtr->bytes == NULL and stringPtr->hasUnicode == 0. Instead in
+ the situations where that was being created, create a traditional
+ two-legged stork representation (objPtr->bytes = tclEmptyStringRep
+ and stringPtr->hasUnicode = 1). In the situations where the strange
+ rep was treated differently, continue to do so by testing
+ stringPtr->numChars == 0 to detect it. These changes make the code
+ more conventional so easier for new maintainers to pick up. Also
+ sets up further simplifications.
+
+ * generic/tclTestObj.c: Revise updates to [teststringobj] so we don't
+ get blocked by MODULE_SCOPE limits.
+
+2009-02-12 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c: Rewrites of the routines
+ Tcl_GetCharLength, Tcl_GetUniChar, Tcl_GetUnicodeFromObj,
+ Tcl_GetRange, and TclStringObjReverse to use the new macro, and
+ to more simply and clearly split the cases depending on whether
+ a valid unicode rep is present or needs to be created.
+ New utility routine UnicodeLength(), to compute the length of unicode
+ buffer arguments when no length is passed in, with built-in
+ overflow protection included. Update three callers to use it.
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h: New macro TclNumUtfChars meant to be a faster
+ replacement for a full Tcl_NumUtfChars() call when the string has all
+ single-byte characters.
+
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c: Simplified Tcl_GetCharLength by
+ * generic/tclTestObj.c: removing code that did nothing.
+ Added early returns from Tcl_*SetObjLength when the desired length
+ is already present; adapted test command to the change.
+
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c: Re-implemented AppendUtfToUnicodeRep
+ so that we no longer pass through Tcl_DStrings which have their own
+ sets of problems when lengths overflow the int range. Now AUTUR and
+ FillUnicodeRep share a common core routine.

+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_ThrowObjCmd): Move implementation of [throw]
+ * library/init.tcl (throw): to C from Tcl.
+
+2009-01-12 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken): One consequence of
+ the NRE rewrite is that there are now situations where a NULL objProc
+ field in a Command struct is perfectly normal. Removed an outdated
+ comment in Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken that claimed we use
+ cmdPtr->objPtr==NULL as a test of command validity. In fact we use
+ cmdPtr->flags&CMD_IS_DELETED to perform that test. Also removed the
+ setting to NULL, since any extension following the advice of the old
+ comment is going to be broken by NRE anyway, and needs to shift to
+ flag-based testing (or stop intruding into such internal matters).
+ Part of [Bug 2486550].
+
+2009-01-09 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c (STRING_SIZE): [Bug 2494093]: Corrected
+ failure to limit memory allocation requests to the sizes that can be
+ supported by Tcl's memory allocation routines.
+
+2009-01-09 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclNamesp.c (NamespaceEnsembleCmd): [Bug 1558654]: Error out
+ when someone gives wrong # of args to [namespace ensemble create].
+
+2009-01-08 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c (STRING_UALLOC): [Bug 2494093]: Added missing
+ parens required to get correct results out of things like
+ STRING_UALLOC(num + append).
+
+2009-01-08 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclDictObj.c, generic/tclIndexObj.c, generic/tclListObj.c,
+ * generic/tclObj.c, generic/tclStrToD.c, generic/tclUtil.c,
+ * generic/tclVar.c: Generate errorcodes for the error cases which
+ approximate to "I can't interpret that string as one of those" and
+ "You gave me the wrong number of arguments".
+
+2009-01-07 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * doc/dict.n: [Tk Bug 2491235]: Added more examples.
+
+ * tests/oo.test (oo-22.1): Adjusted test to be less dependent on the
+ specifics of how [info frame] reports general frame information, and
+ instead to focus on what methods add to it; that's really what the
+ test is about anyway.
+
+2009-01-06 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/stringObj.test: Revise tests that demand a NULL Tcl_ObjType
+ in certain values to construct those values with [testdstring] so
+ there's no lack of robustness depending on the shimmer history of
+ shared literals.
+
+2009-01-06 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclDictObj.c (DictIncrCmd): Corrected twiddling in internals
+ of dictionaries so that literals can't get destroyed.
+
+ * tests/expr.test: [Bug 2006879]: Eliminate non-ASCII char.
+
+ * generic/tclOOInfo.c (InfoObjectMethodsCmd,InfoClassMethodsCmd):
+ [Bug 2489836]: Only delete pointers that were actually allocated!
+
+ * generic/tclOO.c (TclNRNewObjectInstance, Tcl_NewObjectInstance):
+ [Bug 2481109]: Perform search for existing commands in right context.
+
+2009-01-05 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclNRSourceObjCmd): [Bug 2412068]: Make
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclNREvalFile): implementation of the
+ [source] command be NRE enabled so that [yield] inside a script
+ sourced in a coroutine can work.
+
+2009-01-04 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdAH.c: Tidy up spacing and code style.
+
+2009-01-03 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+ * library/clock.tcl (tcl::clock::add): Fixed error message formatting
+ in the case where [clock add] is presented with a bad switch.
+ * tests/clock.test (clock-65.1) Added a test case for the above
+ problem [Bug 2481670].
+
+2009-01-02 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): [Bug 878333]: Force the use of the
+ compatibility version of mkstemp() on IRIX.
+ * unix/configure.in, unix/Makefile.in (mkstemp.o):
+ * compat/mkstemp.c (new file): [Bug 741967]: Added a compatibility
+ implementation of the mkstemp() function, which is apparently needed
+ on some platforms.
