Allows calling exeve() in processes - where the event loop has not yet been run (Darwin's execve() fails in - processes with more than one thread), in particular allows embedders - to call fork() followed by execve(), previously the pthread_atfork() - child handler's call to Tcl_InitNotifier() would immediately recreate - the notifier thread in the child after a fork. - - * macosx/tclMacOSXFCmd.c (TclMacOSXCopyFileAttributes): add support - * macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (Tcl_InitNotifier): for weakly - * unix/tclUnixInit.c (Tcl_GetEncodingNameFromEnvironment): importing - symbols not available on OSX 10.2 or 10.3, enables binaires built on - later OSX versions to run on earlier ones. - * macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: enable weak-linking; turn on - extra warnings. - * macosx/README: document how to enable weak-linking; cleanup. - * unix/tclUnixPort.h: add support for weak-linking; conditionalize - AvailabilityMacros.h inclusion; only disable realpath on 10.2 or - earlier when threads are enabled. - * unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpLoadMemoryGetBuffer): change runtime Darwin - * unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitPlatform): release check to use - global initialized - once - * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (DoRenameFile, TclpObjNormalizePath): add runtime - Darwin release check to determine if realpath is threadsafe. - * unix/configure.in: add check on Darwin for compiler support of weak - * unix/tcl.m4: import and for AvailabilityMacros.h header; move - Darwin specific checks & defines that are only relevant to the tcl - build out of tcl.m4; restrict framework option to Darwin; clean up - quoting and help messages. - * unix/configure: autoconf-2.59 - * unix/tclConfig.h.in: autoheader-2.59 - - * generic/regc_locale.c (cclass): - * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): - * generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_ExecObjCmd): - * generic/tclListObj.c (NewListIntRep): - * generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetLongFromObj, Tcl_GetWideIntFromObj) - (FreeBignum, Tcl_SetBignumObj): - * generic/tclParseExpr.c (Tcl_ParseExpr): - * generic/tclStrToD.c (TclParseNumber): - * generic/tclStringObj.c (TclAppendFormattedObjs): - * unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpLoadMemory): - * unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess): fix signed-with-unsigned - comparison and other warnings from gcc4 -Wextra. - -2006-07-13 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com> - - * unix/tclUnixPort.h: Added the inclusion of <AvailabilityMacros.h>. - The missing header caused the upcoming #if conditions to wrongly - exclude realpath, causing file normalize to ignore symbolic links in - the path. - -2006-07-11 Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net> - - * generic/tclAsync.c: Made Tcl_AsyncDelete() more tolerant when called - after all thread TSD has been garbage-collected. - -2006-07-05 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net> - - * generic/tclParseExpr.c: Completely new expression parser that - builds a parse tree instead of operating with deep recursion. This - corrects reports of stack-blowing crashes parsing long expressions - [Bug 906201] and replaces a fundamentally O(N^2) algorithm with an - O(N) one [RFE 903765]. The new parser is better able to generate error - messages that clearly report both the nature and context of the syntax - error [Bugs 1029267, 1381715]. For now, the code for the old parser is - still present and can be activated with a "#define OLD_EXPR_PARSER - 1". This is for the sake of a clean implementation patch, and for ease - of benchmarking. The new parser is non-recursive, so much lighter in - stack consumption, but it does use more heap, so there may be cases - where parsing of long expressions that succeeded with the old parser - will lead to out of memory panics with the new one. There are still - more improvements possible on that point, though significant progress - may require changes to the Tcl_Token specifications documented for the - public Tcl_Parse*() routines. - ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for any callers that rely on the exact - (usually terrible) error messages generated by the old parser. This - includes a large number of tests in the test suite. - - * generic/tclInt.h: Replaced TclParseWhiteSpace() with - * generic/tclParse.c: TclParseAllWhiteSpace() which is what - * generic/tclParseExpr.c: all the callers really needed. - Breaking whitespace runs at newlines is useful only to the command - parsing function, and it can call the file scoped routine - ParseWhiteSpace() to do that. - - * tests/expr-old.test: Removed knownBug constraints that masked - * tests/expr.test: failures due to revised error messages. - * tests/parseExpr.test: - -2006-06-20 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net> - - * generic/tclIOUtil.c: Changed default configuration to - * generic/tclInt.decls: #undef USE_OBSOLETE_FS_HOOKS which disables - * generic/tclTest.c: access to the Tcl 8.3 internal routines for - hooking into filesystem operations.

Note that pthread_atfork - is available starting with Tiger only. Because vfork() is used by the - core on Darwin, [exec]/[open] are not affected by this fix, only - extensions or embedders that call fork() directly (such as TclX). - However, this only makes fork() safe from corefoundation tcl with - --disable-threads; as on all platforms, forked children may deadlock - in threaded tcl due to the potential for stale locked mutexes in the - child.
