+2002-12-18 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/makefile.vc: some uses of xcopy swapped to the @$(CPY) macro.
+ Reported by Joe Mistachkin <joe@mistachkin.com>.
+
+2002-12-17 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/tclNotify.c (TclFinalizeNotifier, Tcl_SetServiceMode):
+ (Tcl_ThreadAlert): Check that the stub functions are non-NULL
+ before calling them. They could be set to NULL by Tcl_SetNotifier.
+
+2002-12-16 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * generic/tclPipe.c (TclCleanupChildren):
+ * tests/winPipe.test:
+ * win/tclWinPipe.c (Tcl_WaitPid):
+ * win/tclWinTest.c: Gave Tcl_WaitPid the ability to return a
+ Win32 exception code translated into a posix style SIG*. This
+ allows [close] to report "CHILDKILLED" without the meaning
+ getting lost in a truncated exit code. In TclCleanupChildren(),
+ TclpGetPid() had to get moved to before Tcl_WaitPid() as the
+ the handle is removed from the list taking away the ability
+ to get the process id after the wait is done. This shouldn't
+ effect the unix implimentaion unless waitpid is called with
+ a pid of zero, meaning "any". I don't think it is..
+
+2002-12-13 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/configure.in: Updated configure of CVS snapshots to reflect
+ * win/configure.in: the 8.4.1.1 patchlevel.
+
+ * unix/configure: autoconf
+ * win/configure autoconf
+
+2002-12-11 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclProc.c (ProcessProcResultCode): Fix failure to
+ propagate negative return codes up the call stack. [Bug 647307]
+ * tests/proc.test (proc-6.1): Test for Bug 647307
+
+ * generic/tclParseExpr.c (TclParseInteger): Return 1 for the
+ string "0x" (recognize leading "0" as an integer). [Bug 648441].
+ * tests/parseExpr.test (parseExpr-19.1): Test for Bug 648441.
+
+2002-12-09 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinThrd.c (TclpMasterUnlock):
+ * generic/tclThread.c (TclFinalizeThreadData): TclpMasterUnlock
+ must exist and be called unconditional of TCL_THREADS. [Bug #651139]
+
+2002-12-08 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinSock.c (SocketThreadExitHandler, InitSockets): Check
+ that the tsdPtr is valid before dereferencing as we call it from
+ the exit handler, too [Bug 650353]. Another WSAStartup() loaded
+ version comparison byte swap issue fixed. Although 0x0101 byte
+ swapped is still 0x0101, properly claiming which is major/minor
+ is more correct.
+
+2002-12-06 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/tclStubInit.c: regen
+ * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: regen
+ * generic/tclInt.decls: added TclWinResetInterface
+
+ * win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclWinResetInterfaces):
+ * win/tclWinInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings, WinEncodingsCleanup):
+ add exit handler that resets the encoding information to a state
+ where we can reuse Tcl. Following these changes, it is possible
+ to reuse Tcl (following Tcl_FindExecutable or Tcl_CreateInterp)
+ following a Tcl_Finalize.
+
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclFinalizeFilesystem): reset statics to
+ their original values on finalize to allow reuse of the library.
+
+2002-12-04 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinPipe.c: reverted back to -r1.27 due to numerous test
+ failures that need to be resolved first. The idea was good,
+ but the details aren't.
+
+2002-12-04 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinPipe.c (Tcl_WaitPid): When a process exits with an
+ exception, pass this notice on to the caller with a SIG* code
+ rather than truncating the exit code and missing the meaning.
+ This allows TclCleanupChildren() to report "CHILDKILLED".
+
+ This has a different behavior than unix in that closing the
+ read pipe to a process sends the SIGPIPE signal which is
+ returned as a SIGPIPE exit status. On windows, we send the
+ process a CTRL_BREAK_EVENT and get back a CONTROL_C_EXIT which
+ is documented to mean a SIGINT which seems wrong as a system,
+ but is the correct exit status.
+
+2002-12-04 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to redirected 'load' in virtual
+ filesystem for some Unix systems.
+
+ * generic/tclEvent.c: the filesystem must be cleaned up before
+ the encoding subsystem because it needs access to encodings.
+ Fixes crash on exit observed in embedded applications.
+
+ * generic/tclTestObj.c: patch omitted from previous change
+ of 2002-11-13
+
+2002-12-03 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/tclStubLib.c (Tcl_InitStubs): prevent the cached check of
+ tclStubsPtr to allow for repeated load/unload of the Tcl dll by
+ hosting apps. [Bug 615304]
+
+2002-12-03 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/tclAppInit.c (sigHandler): Protect from trying to close a
+ NULL handle.
+
+ * win/tclWinPipe.c (PipeClose2Proc, TclpCreateProcess): Send a
+ real Win32 signal (CTRL_C_EVENT) when the read channel is brought
+ down to alert the child to close on its side. Start the process
+ with CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP to allow the ability to send these
+ signals. The following test case now brings down the child
+ without the use of an external [kill] command.
+
+ % set p [open "|[info name]" w+]
+ file8d5380
+ % pid $p
+ 2876
+ % close $p <- now doesn't block in Tcl_WaitPid()
+ %
+
+ * win/tclWinPipe.c (PipeClose2Proc): Changed CTRL_C_EVENT
+ to CTRL_BREAK_EVENT as it can't be ignored by the child and
+ proved to work on [open "|netstat 1" w+] where CTRL_C_EVENT
+ didn't.
+
+2002-11-27 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinPort.h: Don't turn off winsock prototypes!
+ TclX didn't like it. Even though the core doesn't use the
+ prototypes, do offer them.
+
+ * win/tclWinSock.c: Removed shutdown() from the function
+ table as it wasn't referenced anywhere and cleaned-up some
+ casting that that wasn't needed.
+
+ * win/tclWinSock.c: WSAStartup() loaded version comparison
+ error which resulted in 2.0 looking less than 1.1.
+
+ * win/tclWinChan.c (Tcl_MakeFileChannel): return of
+ DuplicateHandle() incorrectly used [Bug 618852].
+
+2002-11-26 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/tclEncoding.c (TclFinalizeEncodingSubsystem): properly
+ cleanup all encodings by using Tcl_FirstHashEntry in the while loop.
+
+ * unix/Makefile.in (valgrind): add simple valgrind target
+
+ * tests/exec.test: unset path var to allow singleproc testing
+
+ * generic/tclInterp.c (AliasCreate): preserve/release interps to
+ prevent possible FMR error in bad alias cases.
+
+2002-11-26 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinPort.h:
+ * win/tclWinSock.c: This patch does two things:
+
+ 1) Cleans-up the winsock typedefs by using the typedefs
+ provided by winsock2.h. This has no effect on how winsock
+ is initialized; just makes the source code easier to read.
+ [Patch 561305 561301]
+
+ 2) Revamps how the socket message handler thread is brought
+ up and down to allow for cleaner exits without the use of
+ TerminateThread(). TerminateThread is evil. No attempt has
+ been made to resolve [Bug 593810] which may need a new
+ channel driver version for adding a registering function
+ within the transfered thread to init the handler thread.
+ IOW, initialization of the TSD structure is getting bypassed
+ through the thread extension's [thread::transfer] command.
+
+2002-11-26 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinConsole.c:
+ * win/tclWinPipe.c:
+ * win/tclWinSerial.c:
+ * win/tclWinSock.c:
+ * win/tclWinThrd.c:
+ * win/tclWinTime.c: General cleanup of all worker threads used
+ by the channel drivers. Eliminates the normal case where the
+ worker thread is terminated ('cept the winsock one). Instead,
+ use kernel events to signal a clean exit. Only when the worker
+ thread is blocked on an I/O call is the thread terminated.
+ Essentially, this makes all other channel worker threads behave
+ like the PipeReaderThread() function for it's cleaner exit
+ behavior. This appears to fix [Bug 597924] but needs 3rd party
+ confirmation to close the issue.
+
+2002-11-26 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * win/README: Update msys build env URL. This
+ release #4 build both tcl and tk without problems.
+
+2002-11-22 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * library/init.tcl: code cleanup to reduce use of
+ * library/opt/optparse.tcl: string compare
+
+ * tests/interp.test: interp-14.4
+ * generic/tclInterp.c (TclPreventAliasLoop): prevent seg fault
+ when creating an alias command over the interp name. [Bug #641195]
+
+2002-11-18 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/tclUtil.c (SetEndOffsetFromAny): handle integer offset
+ after the "end-" prefix.
+
+ * generic/get.test:
+ * generic/string.test:
+ * generic/tclObj.c (SetIntFromAny, SetWideIntFromAny):
+ * generic/tclGet.c (TclGetLong, Tcl_GetInt): simplify sign
+ handling before calling strtoul(l). [Bug #634856]
+
+2002-11-18 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinThrd.c (Tcl_CreateThread/TclpThreadExit): Fixed
+ improper compiler macros that missed the VC++ compiler. This
+ resulted in VC++ builds using CreateThread()/ExitThread() in place
+ of the proper _beginthreadex()/_endthreadex(). This was a large
+ error and am surprised I missed seeing it earlier.
+
+2002-11-13 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/regexpComp.test: added tests 22.*
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileRegexpCmd): add left and right
+ anchoring (^ and $) recognition and check starting or ending .* to
+ extend the number of REs that can be compiled to string match or
+ string equal.
+
+2002-11-13 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c:
+ * tests/trace.test: applied patch from Hemang Levana to fix
+ [Bug #615043] in execution traces with 'return -code error'.
+
+ * generic/tclTestObj.c:
+ * tests/stringObj.test: added 'knownBug' test for [Bug 635200]
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c: corrected typos in comments
+
+ * generic/tclFileName.c:
+ * tests/fileName.test: applied patch for bug reported against
+ tclvfs concerning handling of Windows serial ports like 'com1',
+ 'lpt3' by the virtual filesystem code.
+
+ * doc/RegExp.3: clarification of the 'extendMatch' return
+ values.
+
+2002-11-11 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_Backslash): use TclUtfToUniChar.
+ (Tcl_StringCaseMatch): use TclUtfToUniChar and add further
+ optimizations for the one-byte/char case.
+
+ * generic/tclUtf.c: make use of TclUtfToUniChar macro throughout
+ the functions, and add extra optimization to Tcl_NumUtfChars for
+ one-byte/char case.
+
+ * generic/tclVar.c (DisposeTraceResult, CallVarTraces): add proper
+ static declarations.
+
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_GetCharLength): optimize for the
+ ascii char case.
+ (Tcl_GetUniChar): remove unnecessary use of Tcl_UtfToUniChar.
+ (FillUnicodeRep): Use TclUtfToUniChar.
+
+ * generic/tclHash.c (HashStringKey): move string++ lower to save
+ an instruction.
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): improve INST_STR_CMP
+ to use memcmp in the one-byte/char case, also use direct index for
+ INST_STR_INDEX in that case.
+
+ * generic/tclEncoding.c (UtfToUtfProc, UtfToUnicodeProc):
+ (TableFromUtfProc, EscapeFromUtfProc): Use TclUtfToUniChar.
+ (UnicodeToUtfProc, TableToUtfProc): add 1-byte char optimizations
+ for Tcl_UniCharToUtf call. These improve encoded channel
+ conversion speeds by up to 20%.
+
+ * tests/split.test: added 1-char string split tests
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SplitObjCmd): Use TclUtfToUniChar.
+ Also added a special case for single-ascii-char splits.
+ (Tcl_StringObjCmd): Use TclUtfToUniChar.
+ For STR_RANGE, support getting ranges of ByteArrays (reverts
+ change from 2000-05-26).
+ (TraceExecutionProc) add proper static declaration.
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h: add macro version of Tcl_UtfToUniChar
+ (TclUtfToUniChar) that does the one-byte utf-char check without
+ calling Tcl_UtfToUniChar, for use by the core. This brings
+ notable speedups for primarily ascii string handling.
+
+ * generic/tcl.h (TCL_PATCH_LEVEL): bump to 8.4.1.1 for patchlevel
+ only. This interim number will only be reflected by
+ [info patchlevel].
+
+2002-11-11 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+ * doc/Tcl.n: Corrected indentation of the new language. Oops.
+
+2002-11-10 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+ * doc/Tcl.n: Added language to the Endekalogue to make it clear
+ that substitutions always take place from left to right. [Bug
+ #635644]
+
+2002-11-06 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * changes: Note TclInExit TclInThreadExit changes.
+ * generic/tclEvent.c (TclInExit, TclInThreadExit):
+ Split out functionality of TclInExit to make it
+ clear which one should be called in each situation.
+ * generic/tclInt.decls: Declare TclInThreadExit.
+ * generic/tclIntDecls.h: Regen.
+ * generic/tclStubInit.c: Regen.
+ * mac/tclMacChan.c (StdIOClose):
+ * unix/tclUnixChan.c (FileCloseProc):
+ * win/tclWinChan.c (FileCloseProc):
+ * win/tclWinConsole.c (ConsoleCloseProc):
+ * win/tclWinPipe.c (TclpCloseFile):
+ * win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialCloseProc): Invoke the
+ new TclInThreadExit method instead of TclInExit.
+
+2002-11-06 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/configure: Regen.
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Generate a fatal
+ configure error if no ar program can be found on the
+ path. [Bug #582039]
+ * win/configure: Regen.
+ * win/configure.in: Check that AR, RANLIB, and RC
+ are found on the path when building with gcc.
+
+2002-11-03 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/tclAppInit.c: Calls Registry_Init() and Dde_Init() when
+ STATIC_BUILD and TCL_USE_STATIC_PACKAGES macros are set.
+
+ * win/makefile.vc:
+ * win/rules.vc: linkexten option now sets the TCL_USE_STATIC_PACKAGES
+ macro which also adds the registry and dde object files to the link
+ of the shell. [Patch 479697] Also factored some additional macros
+ that will be helpful for extension authors. Version grepping of tcl.h
+ will need to be added to complete this.
+
+ * win/buildall.vc.bat: Added more descriptive commentary.
+
+2002-11-01 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinReg.c: Changed the Tcl_PkgProvide() line to declare
+ the registry extension at version 1.1 from 1.0.
+
+2002-10-31 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * library/word.tcl: Changed $tcl_platform to $::tcl_platform to
+ avoid possible scope trouble.
+
+2002-10-29 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * win/tclWinInt.h:
+ * win/tclWin32Dll.c: added comments about certain NULL function
+ pointers which will be filled in when Tcl_FindExecutable is
+ called, so that users don't report invalid bugs on this topic.
+ (No code changes at all).
+
+2002-10-29 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpFindSymbol): pass all dyld error
+ messages upstream [Bug #627546].
+
+2002-10-28 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl:
+ * library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl: Changed the hardwired debug suffix
+ (d) to the correct suffix (g).
+
+2002-10-28 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * library/auto.tcl: Converted the Mac-specific [package unknown]
+ * library/init.tcl: behavior to use a chaining mechanism to extend
+ * library/package.tcl: the default [tclPkgUnknown]. [Bug 627660]
+ * library/tclIndex: [Patch 624509] (steffen)
+
+2002-10-26 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/makefile.vc: xcopy on NT 4.0 doesn't support the /Y switch
+ (overwrite). Added logic to handle this. [Bug 618019]
+
+2002-10-23 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h: Removed definitions of obsolete HistoryEvent
+ and HistoryRev structures (the history mechanism has been written
+ in Tcl for some time now.)
+
+2002-10-22 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+

+2002-10-22 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * doc/StringObj.3, doc/Object.3: Documented that Tcl_Obj's
+ standard string form is a modified UTF-8; apparently, this was not

+
+2002-10-21 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+ * mac/tclMacChan.c: removed obsolete GetOpenMode() and replaced
+ associated constants with the <fcntl.h> analogues (they existing
+ defs were inconsistent with <fcntl.h> which was causing havoc when
+ Tcl_GetOpenMode was used instead of private GetOpenMode).
+
+ * mac/tclMacFCmd.c: removed GenerateUniqueName(), use equivalent
+ (and identically named) routine from MoreFiles instead.

+ Resultant compiles were correct, but much slower than necessary.
+
+2002-09-29 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/tclAppInit.c: Added proper exiting conditions using Win32
+ console signals. This handles the existing lack of a Ctrl+C exit
+ to call exit handlers when built for thread support. Also, properly
+ handles exits from other conditions such as CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT,
+ CTRL_LOGOFF_EVENT, and CTRL_SHUTDOWN_EVENT signals. In all cases,
+ exit handlers will be called. [Bug 219355]
+
+ * win/makefile.vc: Added missing tclThreadAlloc.c to the build
+ rules and defines USE_THREAD_ALLOC when TCL_THREADS is defined
+ to get the new behavior by default.

+
+2002-09-15 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/configure: Regen.
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Add PEEK_XCLOSEIM

+
+2002-09-12 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+

+
+ * unix/Makefile.in: added DYLIB_INSTALL_DIR variable for macosx

+ * unix/configure: regen.
+
+ * macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj:

+
+ *** macosx-8-4-branch merged into the mainline [tcl patch #602770] ***
+
+ * generic/tcl.decls: added new macosx specific entry to stubs table.
+
+ * tools/genStubs.tcl: added generation of platform guards for
+ macosx. This is a little more complex than it seems, because MacOS
+ X IS "unix" plus a little bit, for the purposes of Tcl. BUT
+ unfortunately, Tk uses "unix" to mean X11. So added platform keys
+ for macosx (the little added to "unix"), "aqua" and "x11" to
+ distinguish these for Tk.
+
+ * generic/tcl.h: added a #ifnded RESOURCE_INCLUDED so that tcl.h
+ can be passed to the resource compiler.
+
+ * generic/tcl.h:
+ * generic/tclNotify.c: added a few Notifier procs, to be able to
+ modify more bits of the Tcl notifier dynamically. Required to get
+ Mac OS X Tk to live on top of the Tcl Unix threaded notifier.
+ Changes the size of the Tcl_NotifierProcs structure, but doesn't
+ move any elements around.
+
+ * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: moved the call to Tcl_ConditionNotify till
+ AFTER we are done mucking with the pointer swap. Fixes cases where
+ the thread waiting on the condition wakes & accesses the
+ waitingListPtr before it gets reset, causing a hang.
+
+ * library/auto.tcl (tcl_findLibrary): added checking the
+ directories in the tcl_pkgPath for library files on macosx to
+ enable support of the standard Mac OSX library locations
+
+ * unix/Makefile.in:
+ * unix/configure.in:
+ * unix/tcl.m4: added MAC_OSX_DIR. Added PLAT_OBJS to the OBJS:
+ there are some MacOS X specific files now for Tcl, and when I get
+ he resource & applescript stuff ported over, and restore support
+ for FindFiles, etc, there will be a few more.
+ Added LD_LIBRARY_PATH_VAR configure variable to avoid having to set
+ all possible LD_LIBRARY_PATH analogues on all platforms.
+ LD_LIBRARY_PATH_VAR is "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" by default, "LIBPATH" on
+ AIX, "SHLIB_PATH" on HPUX and "DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH" on Mac OSX.
+ Added configure option to package Tcl as a framework on Mac OSX.
+
+ * macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c (new): support for finding Tcl extension
+ packaged as 'bundles' in the standard Mac OSX library locations.
+
+ * unix/tclUnixInit.c: added support for findig the tcl script
+ library inside Tcl packaged as a framework on Mac OSX.
+
+ * macosx/Tcl.pbproj/jingham.pbxuser (new):
+ * macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj (new): project for Apple's
+ ProjectBuilder IDE.

+
+ * generic/tclEnv.c:
+ * unix/configure.in:
+ * win/tclWinPort.h: putenv() on some systems copies the buffer

+ <lvirden@users.sourceforge.net>.
+
+2002-08-16 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * tests/fCmd.test: Added test to make sure that the cause of the
+ problem is detectable with an unpatched Tcl.
+ * doc/ObjectType.3: Added note on the root cause of this problem
+ to the documentation, since it is possible for user code to
+ trigger this sort of behaviour too.
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c (SetFsPathFromAny): Objects should only have
+ their old representation deleted when we know that we are about to
+ install a new one. This stops a weird TclX bug under Linux with
+ certain kinds of memory debugging enabled which essentally came
+ down to a double-free of a string.
+
+2002-08-14 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h:
+ * generic/tclObj.c: (code cleanup) factored the parts in the macros
+ TclNewObj() / TclDecrRefCount() into a common part for all
+ memory allocators and two new macros TclAllocObjStorage() /
+ TclFreeObjStorage() that are specific to each allocator and fully

+ *** 8.4b2 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
+
+ * tests/fCmd.test:
+ * tests/unixFCmd.test: updated tests for new link copy behavior.
+ * generic/tclFCmd.c (CopyRenameOneFile): changed the behavior to
+ follow links to endpoints and copy that file/directory instead of
+ just copying the surface link. This means that trying to copy a
+ link that has no endpoint (danling link) is an error.
+ [Patch #591647] (darley)
+ (CopyRenameOneFile): this is currently disabled by default until

+ handled correctly.
+
+ * tests/README: slight wording improvements
+
+2002-08-07 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * docs/BoolObj.3: added description of valid string reps for a

+
+ * generic/tclInt.decls:
+ * unix/tclUnixThrd.c: Added stubs and implementations for
+ non-threaded build for the tclUnixThrd.c procs TclpReaddir,
+ TclpLocaltime, TclpGmtime and TclpInetNtoa.
+ Fixes link errors in stubbed & threaded extensions that include
+ tclUnixPort.h and use any of the procs readdir, localtime,
+ gmtime or inet_ntoa (e.g. TclX 8.4) [Bug 589526]
+ * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
+ * generic/tclStubInit.c: Regen.
+
+2002-08-05 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: The setup and cleanup scripts are now
+ * library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl: skipped when a test is skipped, fixing
+ * tests/tcltest.test: [Bug 589859]. Test for bug added, and
+ corrected tcltest package bumped to version 2.2.
+
+ * generic/tcl.decls: Restored Tcl_Concat to return (char *). Like
+ * generic/tclDecls.h: Tcl_Merge, it transfers ownership of a dynamic
+ * generic/tclUtil.c: allocated string to the caller.
+
+2002-08-04 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * doc/CmdCmplt.3: Applied Patch 585105 to fully CONST-ify
+ * doc/Concat.3: all remaining public interfaces of Tcl.
+ * doc/CrtCommand.3: Notably, the parser no longer writes on
+ * doc/CrtSlave.3: the string it is parsing, so it is no
+ * doc/CrtTrace.3: longer necessary for Tcl_Eval() to be
+ * doc/Eval.3: given a writable string. Also, the
+ * doc/ExprLong.3: refactoring of the Tcl_*Var* routines
+ * doc/LinkVar.3: by Miguel Sofer is included, so that the
+ * doc/ParseCmd.3: "part1" argument for them no longer needs
+ * doc/SetVar.3: to be writable either.
+ * doc/TraceVar.3:
+ * doc/UpVar.3: Compatibility support has been enhanced so
+ * generic/tcl.decls that a #define of USE_NON_CONST will remove
+ * generic/tcl.h all possible source incompatibilities with
+ * generic/tclBasic.c the 8.3 version of the header file(s).
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c The new #define of USE_COMPAT_CONST now does
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c what USE_NON_CONST used to do -- disable
+ * generic/tclCompExpr.c only those new CONST's that introduce
+ * generic/tclCompile.c irreconcilable incompatibilities.
+ * generic/tclCompile.h
+ * generic/tclDecls.h Several bugs are also fixed by this patch.

+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c: bugfix (reading freed memory). Testsuite
+ passed on linux/i386, compile-13.1 hung on linux/alpha.
+
+2002-08-01 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c: added a reference count for the complete
+ execution stack, instead of Tcl_Preserve/Tcl_Release.
+
+2002-08-01 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCkalloc.c (TclFinalizeMemorySubsystem):
+ Don't lock the ckalloc mutex before invoking the
+ Tcl_DumpActiveMemory function since it also
+ locks the same mutex. This code is only executed
+ when "memory onexit filename" has been executed
+ and Tcl is compiled with -DTCL_MEM_DEBUG.
+
+2002-08-01 Reinhard Max <max@suse.de>
+
+ * win/tclWinPort.h: The windows headers don't provide socklen_t,
+ so we have to do it.
+
+2002-07-31 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h (USE_THREAD_ALLOC): for unshared objects,
+ TclDecrRefCount now frees the internal rep before the string rep -
+ just like the non-macro Tcl_DecrRefCount/TclFreeObj [Bug 524802].
+ For the other allocators the fix was done on 2002-03-06.
+
+2002-07-31 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclInterp.c: signed/unsigned comparison warning fixed
+ (Vince Darley).
+
+2002-07-31 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_BUGGY_STRTOD): Enabled caching of test results.
+
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_BUGGY_STRTOD): Solaris 2.8 still has a buggy
+ strtod() implementation; make sure we detect it.
+
+ * tests/expr.test (expr-22.*): Marked as non-portable because it
+ seems that these tests have an annoying tendency to fail in
+ unexpected ways. [Bugs 584825, 584950, 585986]
+
+2002-07-30 Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/io.test:
+ * generic/tclIO.c (WriteChars): Added flag to break out of loop if
+ nothing of the input is consumed at all, to prevent infinite
+ looping of called with a non-UTF-8 string. Fixes Bug 584603
+ (partially). Added new test "io-60.1". Might need additional
+ changes to Tcl_Main so that unprintable results are printed as
+ binary data.
+
+2002-07-29 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/Makefile.in: Use CC_SEARCH_FLAGS instead of
+ LD_SEARCH_FLAGS when linking with ${CC}.
+ * unix/configure: Regen.
+ * unix/configure.in: Don't subst CC_SEARCH_FLAGS or
+ LD_SEARCH_FLAGS since this is now done in tcl.m4.
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Document and
+ set CC_SEARCH_FLAGS whenever LD_SEARCH_FLAGS is set.
+ [Tcl patch 588290]
+
+2002-07-29 Reinhard Max <max@suse.de>
+
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_SERIAL_PORT): Fixed detection for cases when
+ configure's stdin is not a tty.
+
+ * unix/tclUnixPort.h:
+ * generic/tclIOSock.c: Changed size_t to socklen_t in
+ socket-related function calls.
+
+ * unix/configure.in: Added test and fallback definition
+ for socklen_t.
+
+ * unix/configure: generated.
+
+2002-07-29 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclObj.c: fixed a comment
+
+ * generic/tcl.h:
+ * generic/tclBasic.c:
+ * generic/tclInterp.c: added the new flag TCL_EVAL_INVOKE to
+ the interface of the Tcl_Eval* functions, removing the
+ TCL_EVAL_NO_TRACEBACK added yesterday: alias invocations not only
+ require no tracebacks, but also look up the command name in the
+ global scope - see new test interp-9.4
+ * tests/interp.test: added 9.3 to test for safety of aliases to
+ hidden commands, 9.4 to test for correct command lookup scope.
+
+2002-07-29 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/regc_locale.c (cclass): [[:xdigit:]] is only a defined
+ concept on western characters, so should not allow any unicode
+ digit, and hence number of ranges in [[:xdigit:]] is fixed.
+ * tests/reg.test: Added test to detect the bug.
+ * generic/regc_cvec.c (newcvec): Corrected initial size value in
+ character vector structure. [Bug 578363] Many thanks to
+ pvgoran@users.sf.net for tracking this down.
+
+2002-07-28 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tcl.h:
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: added the new flag TCL_EVAL_NO_TRACEBACK to
+ the interface of the Tcl_Eval* functions. Modified the error
+ message for too many nested evaluations.
+ * generic/tclInterp.h: changed the Alias struct to be of variable
+ length and store the prefix arguments directly (instead of a
+ pointer to a Tcl_Obj list). Made AliasObjCmd call Tcl_EvalObjv
+ instead of TclObjInvoke - thus making aliases trigger execution
+ traces [Bug 582522].
+ * tests/interp.test:
+ * tests/stack.test: adapted to the new error message.
+ * tests/trace.test: added tests for aliases firing the exec
+ traces.
+
+2002-07-27 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/Makefile.in: Revert fix for Tcl bug 529801
+ since it was incorrect and broke the build on
+ other systems. Fix Tcl bug 587299.
+ Add MAJOR_VERSION, MINOR_VERSION, PATCH_LEVEL,
+ SHLIB_LD_FLAGS, SHLIB_LD_LIBS, CC_SEARCH_FLAGS,
+ LD_SEARCH_FLAGS, and LIB_FILE variables to support
+ more generic library build/install rules.
+ * unix/configure: Regen.
+ * unix/configure.in: Move AC_PROG_RANLIB into
+ tcl.m4. Move shared build test and setting
+ of MAKE_LIB and MAKE_STUB_LIB into tcl.m4.
+ Move subst of a number of variables into
+ tcl.m4 where they are defined.
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_SYMBOLS, SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS):
+ Subst vars where they are defined. Add MAKE_LIB,
+ MAKE_STUB_LIB, INSTALL_LIB, and INSTALL_STUB_LIB
+ rules to deal with the ugly details of running
+ ranlib on static libs at build and install time.
+ Replace TCL_SHLIB_LD_EXTRAS with SHLIB_LD_FLAGS
+ and use it when building a shared library.
+ * unix/tclConfig.sh.in: Add TCL_CC_SEARCH_FLAGS.
+
+2002-07-26 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c: fixed Tcl_Obj leak in code corresponding
+ to the macro NEXT_INST_V(x, 0, 1) [Bug 587495].
+
+2002-07-26 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclVar.c (TclObjLookupVar): leak fix and improved
+ comments.
+
+2002-07-26 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupVar): removed early returns that
+ prevented the parens from being restored. also removed goto label
+ as it was not necessary.
+
+2002-07-24 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c:

+
+2002-07-24 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c: restoring full TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG
+ functionality.
+
+2002-07-24 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/unixInit.test: relaxed unixInit-3.1 to accept iso8859-15
+ as a valid C encoding. [Bug 575336]
+
+2002-07-24 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c: restoring the tcl_traceCompile
+ functionality while I repair tcl_traceExec. The core now compiles
+ and runs also under TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG, but execution in the
+ bytecode engine can still not be traced.
+
+2002-07-24 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2002-07-22 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c: made tclNativeFilesystem static
+ (since 07-19 changes removed its usage elsewhere), and
+ added comments about its usage.
+ * generic/tclLoad.c:
+ * generic/tcl.h:
+ * generic/tcl.decls:

+
+2002-07-22 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c, generic/tclCompile.c, generic/tclBasic.c:

+
+ * generic/tclUtf.c (totalBytes): Made this array static and const.
+
+ * generic/tclParse.c (typeTable): Made this array static and const.
+ (Tcl_ParseBraces): Simplified error handling case so that scans

+
+ * license.terms: Added AS to list of copyright holders; it's only
+ fair for the current gatekeepers to be listed here!
+
+ * tests/cmdMZ.test: Renamed constraint for clarity. [Bug#583427]

+
+ * generic/tclInt.decls:

+
+2002-07-08 Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/socket.test: Fixed bug #578164. The original reason for

+
+2002-07-06 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+ * tests/clock.test: Added a test for that.
+
+2002-07-05 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * unix/Makefile.in (ro-test,ddd,GDB,DDD): Created new targets to

+ names for broken sites (like mine) where gdb and ddd are installed
+ with non-standard names...

+
+ * tests/main.test: Cheap fix for [Bugs 575851, 575858]. Avoid
+ * tests/tcltest.test: non-writable . by [cd [temporaryDirectory]].

+ [Bug 577033]
+
+2002-07-03 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Made Solaris use gcc for linking
+ when building with gcc to resolve problems with undefined symbols

+2002-06-25 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclUtil.c (TclGetIntForIndex): Fix of critical bug

+
+2002-06-24 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+2002-06-19 Joe English <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+ * doc/file.n: Fixed indentation. No substantive changes.
+
+2002-06-19 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegexpObjCmd): get the resultPtr again

+
+2002-06-19 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC): removing unused "for(;;)" loop;
+ improved comments; re-indentation.
+
+2002-06-18 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC):
+ - elimination of duplicated code in the non-immediate INST_INCR
+ instructions.
+ - elimination of 103 (!) TclDecrRefCount macros. The different
+ instructions now jump back to a common "DecrRefCount zone" at
+ the top of the loop. The macro "ADJUST_PC" was replaced by two
+ macros "NEXT_INST_F" and "NEXT_INST_V" that take three params
+ (pcAdjustment, # of stack objects to discard, resultObjPtr
+ handling flag). The only instructions that retain a
+ TclDecrRefCount are INST_POP (for speed), the common code for
+ the non-immediate INST_INCR, INST_FOREACH_STEP and the two
+ INST_LSET.
+
+ The object size of tclExecute.o was reduced by approx 20% since
+ the start of the consolidation drive, while making room for some
+ peep-hole optimisation at runtime.
+
+2002-06-18 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC, INST_DONE): small bug in the panic
+ code for tcl-stack corruption.
+
+2002-06-17 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ Trims to support the removal of RESOURCE_INCLUDED from rc
+ scripts from FR #565088.
+
+ * generic/tcl.h: moved the #ifndef RC_INVOKED start block up in
+ the file. rc scripts don't need to know thread mutexes.
+
+ * win/tcl.rc:
+ * win/tclsh.rc: removed the #define RESOURCE_INCLUDED to let the
+ built-in -DRC_INVOKED to the work.
+
+2002-06-17 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

+
+2002-06-17 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+ * tests/compile.test: [Bug 569438] in the processing of dollar
+ variables; report by Georgios Petasis.
+
+2002-06-16 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c: bug in the consolidation of the
+ INCR_..._STK instructions; the bug could not be exercised as the
+ (faulty) instruction INST_INCR_ARRAY_STK was never compiled-in
+ (related to [Bug 569438]).
+
+2002-06-14 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): runtime peep-hole
+ optimisation of variables (INST_STORE, INST_INCR) and commands
+ (INST_INVOKE); faster check for the existence of a catch.
+ (TclExecuteByteCode): runtime peep-hole optimisation of
+ comparisons.
+ (TclExecuteByteCode): runtime peep-hole optimisation of
+ INST_FOREACH - relies on peculiarities of the code produced by the
+ bytecode compiler.
+
+2002-06-14 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/rules.vc: The test for compiler optimizations was in error.
+ Thanks goes to Roy Terry <royterry@earthlink.net> for his
+ assistance with this.
+
+2002-06-14 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * doc/trace.n, tests/trace.test:
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TraceObjCmd,TclTraceCommandObjCmd)
+ (TclTraceVariableObjCmd): Changed references to "trace list" to
+ "trace info" as mandated by TIP#102.
+
+2002-06-13 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): consolidated code for
+ the conditional branch instructions.
+
+2002-06-13 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): fixed the previous
+ patch - wouldn't compile with TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG set.
+
+2002-06-13 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): consolidated the
+ handling of exception returns to INST_INVOKE and INST_EVAL, as
+ well as most of the code for INST_CONTINUE and INST_BREAK, in the
+ new jump target "processExceptionReturn".
+
+2002-06-13 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): consolidated variable
+ handling opcodes, replaced redundant code with some 'goto'. All
+ store/append/lappend opcodes on the same data type now share the
+ main code; same with incr opcodes.
+ * generic/tclVar.c: added the bit TCL_TRACE_READS to the possible
+ flags to Tcl_SetVar2Ex - it causes read traces to be fired prior
+ to setting the variable. This is used in the core for [lappend].
+
+ ***NOTE*** the usage of TCL_TRACE_READS in Tcl_(Obj)?GetVar.* is
+ not documented; there, it causes the call to create the variable
+ if it does not exist. The new usage in Tcl_(Obj)?SetVar.* remains
+ undocumented too ...

+ * mac/tclMacFile.c:
+ * unix/tclUnixFile.c:
+ * win/tclWinFile.c: fixed up further so both compiles and
+ actually works with VC++ 5 or 6.
+ * win/tclWinInt.h:
+ * win/tclWin32Dll.c: cleaned up code and vfs tests and
+ added tests for the internal changes of 2002-06-12, to see
+ whether WinTcl on NTFS can coexist peacefully with links
+ in the filesystem. Added new test command 'testfilelink'
+ to enable the newer code to be tested.
+ * tests/fCmd.test: (made certain tests of 'testfilelink' not
+ run on unix).
+
+2002-06-12 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteTrace): fixed [Bug 568123] (thanks to
+ Hemang Lavana)
+
+2002-06-12 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinFile.c: corrected the symbolic link handling code to
+ allow it to compile. Added real definition of REPARSE_DATA_BUFFER
+ (found in winnt.h). Most of the added definitions appear to have
+ correct, cross-Win-version equivalents in winnt.h and should be
+ removed, but just making things "work" for now.
+
+2002-06-12 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+ * generic/tcl.decls:
+ * generic/tclDecls.h: made code for Tcl_FSNewNativePath
+ agree with man pages.
+
+ * doc/FileSystem.3: clarified the circumstances under which
+ certain functions are called in the presence of symlinks.
+
+ * win/tclWinFile.c:
+ * win/tclWinPort.h:
+ * win/tclWinInt.h:
+ * win/tclWinFCmd.c: Fix for Windows to allow 'file lstat',
+ 'file type', 'glob -type l', 'file copy', 'file delete',
+ 'file normalize', and all VFS code to work correctly in the
+ presence of symlinks (previously Tcl's behaviour was not very
+ well defined). This also fixes possible serious problems in
+ all versions of WinTcl where 'file delete' on a NTFS symlink
+ could delete the original, not the symlink.
+ Note: symlinks cannot yet be created in pure Tcl.
+
+2002-06-11 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclBasic.c:
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c:
+ * generic/tclInt.h: reverted the new compilation functions;
+ replaced by a more general approach described below.
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c:
+ * generic/tclCompile.c: made *all* compiled variable access
+ attempts create an indexed variable - even get or incr without
+ previous set. This allows indexed access to local variables that
+ are created and set at runtime, for example by [global], [upvar],
+ [variable], [regexp], [regsub].
+
+2002-06-11 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * doc/global.n:
+ * doc/info.n:
+ * test/info.test:
+ * generic/tclCmdIL.c: fix for [Bug 567386], [info locals] was
+ reporting some linked variables.
+
+ * generic/tclBasic.c:
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c:
+ * generic/tclInt.h: added compile functions for [global],
+ [variable] and [upvar]. They just declare the new local variables,
+ the commands themselves are not compiled-in. This gives a notably
+ faster read access to these linked variables.
+
+2002-06-11 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c: optimised algorithm for exception range
+ lookup; part of [Patch 453709].
+
+2002-06-10 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: fixed [Bug #566669]
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c: improved and sped up handling of
+ native paths (duplication and conversion to normalized paths),
+ particularly on Windows.
+ * modified part of above commit, due to problems on Linux.
+ Will re-examine bug report and evaluate more closely.
+
+2002-06-07 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/tcltest.test: More corrections to test suite so that tests
+ of failing [test]s don't show up themselves as failing tests.
+
+2002-06-07 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c: Tidied up headers in relation to float.h
+ to cut the cruft and ensure DBL_MAX is defined since doubles seem
+ to be the same size everywhere; if the assumption isn't true, the
+ variant platforms had better have run configure...
+
+ * unix/tclUnixPort.h (EOVERFLOW): Added code to define it if it
+ wasn't previously defined. Also some other general tidying and
+ adding of comments. [Tcl bugs 563122, 564595]
+ * compat/tclErrno.h: Added definition for EOVERFLOW copied from
+ Solaris headers; I've been unable to find any uses of EFTYPE,
+ which was the error code previously occupying the slot, in Tcl, or
+ any definition of it in the Solaris headers.
+
+2002-06-06 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/dltest/Makefile.in: Remove hard coded CFLAGS=-g

+
+2002-06-06 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/tcltest.test: Corrections to test suite so that tests

+
+ * doc/tcltest.n:

+ [Patch 512214, Bug 558742, Bug 461000, Bug 534903]
+
+2002-06-06 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpReaddir, TclpLocaltime, TclpGmtime):
+ added mutex wrapped calls to readdir, localtime & gmtime in
+ case their thread-safe *_r counterparts are not available.
+ * unix/tcl.m4: added configure check for readdir_r
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): set TCL_DEFAULT_ENCODING to utf-8 on
+ MacOSX (where posix file apis expect utf-8, not iso8859-1).
+ * unix/configure: regen
+ * unix/Makefile.in: set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH in parallel

+ * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:
+ * tests/init.test:
+ * tests/tcltest.test: Added more TIP 85 tests from Arjen Markus.

+2002-05-30 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompExpr.c:

+
+2002-05-30 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+2002-05-29 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * unix/configure: regen'ed
+ * unix/configure.in: replaced bigendian check with autoconf
+ standard AC_C_BIG_ENDIAN, which defined WORDS_BIGENDIAN on
+ bigendian systems.
+ * generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UniCharNcmp):
+ * generic/tclInt.h (TclUniCharNcmp): use WORDS_BIGENDIAN instead of
+ TCL_OPTIMIZE_UNICODE_COMPARE to enable memcmp alternative.
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode INST_STR_CMP):
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): changed the case for
+ choosing the Tcl_UniCharNcmp compare to when both objs are of
+ StringType, as benchmarks show that is the optimal check (both
+ bigendian and littleendian systems).
+
+2002-05-29 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclMain.c: Removed "dummy" reference to Tcl_LinkVar.
+ It is no longer needed since Tcl_Main() now actually calls
+ Tcl_LinkVar(). Thanks to Joe English for pointing that out.
+
+2002-05-29 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode):
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): Use the macro version.
+ * generic/tclInt.h (TclUniCharNcmp): Optimised still further with
+ a macro for use in sensitive places like tclExecute.c
+
+ * generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UniCharNcmp): Use new flag to figure out
+ when we can use an optimal comparison scheme, and default to the
+ old scheme in other cases which is at least safe.
+ * unix/configure.in (TCL_OPTIMIZE_UNICODE_COMPARE): New optional
+ flag that indicates when we can use memcmp() to compare Unicode
+ strings (i.e. when the high-byte of a Tcl_UniChar precedes the
+ low-byte.)
+
+2002-05-29 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/tclInt.decls:
+ * generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+ * generic/tclStubInit.c:
+ * generic/tclUtf.c: added TclpUtfNcmp2 private command that
+ mirrors Tcl_UtfNcmp, but takes n in bytes, not utf-8 chars. This
+ provides a faster alternative for comparing utf strings internally.
+ (Tcl_UniCharNcmp, Tcl_UniCharNcasecmp): removed the explicit end
+ of string check as it wasn't correct for the function (by doc and
+ logic).
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): reworked the string equal
+ comparison code to use TclpUtfNcmp2 as well as short-circuit for
+ equal objects or unequal length strings in the equal case.
+ Removed the use of goto and streamlined the other parts.
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): added check for
+ object equality in the comparison instructions. Added
+ short-circuit for != length strings in INST_EQ, INST_NEQ and
+ INST_STR_CMP. Reworked INST_STR_CMP to use TclpUtfNcmp2 where
+ appropriate, and only use Tcl_UniCharNcmp when at least one of the
+ objects is a Unicode obj with no utf bytes.
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileStringCmd): removed error
+ creation in code that no longer throws an error.
+
+ * tests/string.test:
+ * tests/stringComp.test: added more string comparison checks.
+
+ * tests/clock.test: better qualified 9.1 constraint check for %s.
+
+2002-05-28 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (TclpRealloc, TclpFree): protect

+ * tests/clock.test: added clock-9.1
+ * compat/strftime.c:
+ * generic/tclClock.c:
+ * generic/tclInt.decls:
+ * generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+ * unix/tclUnixTime.c: fix for Windows msvcrt mem leak caused by
+ using an env(TZ) setting trick for in clock format -gmt 1. This
+ also makes %s seem to work correctly with -gmt 1 as well as
+ making it a lot faster by avoid the env(TZ) hack. TclpStrftime
+ now takes useGMT as an arg. [Bug #559376]
+
+2002-05-28 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c: fixes to Tcl_FSLoadFile when called on
+ a file inside a vfs. This should avoid leaving temporary
+ files sitting around on exit. [Bug #545579]
+
+2002-05-27 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * win/tclWinError.c: Added comment on conversion of
+ ERROR_NEGATIVE_SEEK because that is a mapping that really belongs,
+ and not a catch-all case.
+ * win/tclWinPort.h (EOVERFLOW): Should be either EFBIG or EINVAL
+ * generic/tclPosixStr.c (Tcl_ErrnoId, Tcl_ErrnoMsg): EOVERFLOW can
+ potentially be a synonym for EINVAL.
+
+2002-05-24 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ === Changes due to TIP#91 ===
+
+ * win/tclWinPort.h: Added declaration of EOVERFLOW.
+ * doc/CrtChannel.3: Added documentation of wideSeekProc.
+ * generic/tclIOGT.c (TransformSeekProc, TransformWideSeekProc):
+ Adapted to use the new channel mechanism.
+ * unix/tclUnixChan.c (FileSeekProc, FileWideSeekProc): Renamed
+ FileSeekProc to FileWideSeekProc and created new FileSeekProc
+ which has the old-style interface and which errors out with
+ EOVERFLOW when the returned file position can't fit into the
+ return type (int for historical reasons.)
+ * win/tclWinChan.c (FileSeekProc, FileWideSeekProc): Renamed
+ FileSeekProc to FileWideSeekProc and created new FileSeekProc
+ which has the old-style interface and which errors out with
+ EOVERFLOW when the returned file position can't fit into the
+ return type (int for historical reasons.)
+ * mac/tclMacChan.c (FileSeek): Reverted to old interface; Macs
+ lack large-file support because I can't see how to add it.
+ * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Seek, Tcl_Tell): Given these functions
+ knowledge of the new arrangement of channel types.
+ (Tcl_ChannelVersion): Added recognition of new version code.
+ (HaveVersion): New function to do version checking.
+ (Tcl_ChannelBlockModeProc, Tcl_ChannelFlushProc)
+ (Tcl_ChannelHandlerProc): Made these functions use HaveVersion for
+ ease of future maintainability.
+ (Tcl_ChannelBlockModeProc): Obvious lookup function.
+ * generic/tcl.h (Tcl_ChannelType): New wideSeekProc field, and
+ seekProc type restored to old interpretation.
+ (TCL_CHANNEL_VERSION_3): New channel version.
+
+2002-05-24 Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/winPipe.test: Applied patch for SF Tcl Bug #549617. Patch
+ and bug report by Kevin Kenny <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>.
+
+ * win/tclWinSock.c (TcpWatchProc): Fixed SF Tcl Bug #557878. We
+ are not allowed to mess with the watch mask if the socket is a
+ server socket. I believe that the original reporter is George
+ Peter Staplin.
+
+2002-05-21 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/configure: Regen.
+ * unix/configure.in: Invoke SC_ENABLE_SHARED before
+ calling SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS so that the SHARED_BUILD
+ variable can be checked inside SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS.
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Pass -non_shared
+ instead of -shared to ld when configured with
+ --disable-shared under OSF. [Tcl bug 540390]
+
+2002-05-20 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h: added prototype for TclpFilesystemPathType().
+ * mac/tclMacChan.c: use MSL provided creator type if available
+ instead of the default 'MPW '.
+
+2002-05-16 Joe English <jenglish@users.sf.net>
+
+ * doc/CrtObjCmd.3:

+ (Tcl Bug #547987, #414921)
+
+2002-05-14 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtyOutputProc): #if/#endif-ed this function

+ comments in this file and removal of whitespace from blank lines.
+
+2002-05-13 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * unix/tclUnixChan.c (SETBREAK): Solaris thinks ioctl() takes a
+ signed second argument, and Linux thinks ioctl() takes an unsigned
+ second argument. So need a longer definition of this macro to get
+ neither to spew warnings...
+
+2002-05-13 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclEvent.c:
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+ * generic/tclInt.h: clean up all memory allocated by the

+ Move TclFinalizeLoad into TclFinalizeFilesystem so we can
+ be sure it is called at just the right time.
+ Fix bad comment also. [Bug #555078 and 'fs' part of #543549]

+
+2002-05-08 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * tools/man2tcl.c:
+ * tools/man2help2.tcl: Proper source of macro error mis-

+2002-05-07 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ -- Changes from Peter Spjuth <peter.spjuth@space.se>

+ * tools/man2help.tcl: Include Courier New font in rtf header.
+ * tools/man2help2.tcl: Improved handling of CS/CE fields. Use
+ Courier New for code samples and indent better.
+
+ * doc/file.n:
+ * doc/TraceCmd.3: winhelp conversion tools where understanding
+ a ' as the first character on a line to be an unknown macro.
+ Not knowing how to repair tools/man2tcl.c, I decided to rearrange

+
+2002-05-07 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+ * generic/tclFileName.c: fix to freeing a bad object

+ * generic/tclWinFile.c: fix to [Bug 551306], also wrapped some
+ long lines.
+ * tests/fileName.test: added several tests for the above bugs.

+ requirements of the object returned by the path type function.
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+ * win/tclWinFile.c:
+ * unix/tclUnixFile.c:
+ * mac/tclMacFile.c: moved TclpFilesystemPathType to the

+ * unix/Makefile.in:
+ * unix/tclUnixThrd.c:
+ * win/Makefile.in:
+ * win/tclWinInt.h:
+ * win/tclWinThrd.c: added new threaded allocator contributed by

+ ready, and the Windows one may need work. It is only used by
+ default on Unix for now, and requires that USE_THREAD_ALLOC be

+
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSRegister, Tcl_FSUnregister):
+ corrected calling of Tcl_ConditionWait to ensure that there would
+ be a condition to wait upon.
+
+ * generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FileObjCmd): added cast in FILE_SIZE.
+
+ * win/tclWinFCmd.c (DoDeleteFile): check return of setattr API

+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SubstObj): More clarification for

+
+2002-04-06 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (Realpath): added a little extra code to

+ for now.
+
+2002-04-05 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SubstObj):

+
+2002-04-03 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

+2002-03-29 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TraceObjCmd, TraceVarProc)

+ inside makefile.vc allows for version numbers to be replaced with
+ macros.
+
+ The new nmakehlp.c is built by rules.vc in preprocessing and removes
+ the need to use tricky shell syntax that wasn't compatible on Win9x

+ filesystem code (in the new file 'fileSystem.test'), and
+ some extra tests for correct handling of symbolic links.
+ Fix to [Bug 530960] which shows up on Win98. Made comparison
+ with ".com" case insensitive in tclWinPipe.c
+
+ ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***: But only between alpha
+ releases (users of the new Tcl_Filesystem lookup table in Tcl
+ 8.4a4 need to handle the new way in which Tcl may call
+ Tcl_FSMatchInDirectory, and 'file normalize' on unix now

+2002-03-07 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclpCheckStackSpace):
+ * win/tclWinFCmd.c (DoRenameFile, DoCopyFile): Replace

+ Move control flow statements out of __try blocks
+ since the documentation indicates it is frowned upon.
+
+2002-03-07 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * doc/interp.n:
+ * generic/tclInterp.c(Tcl_InterpObjCmd,SlaveObjCmd,SlaveRecursionLimit):
+ * generic/tclTest.c:
+ * tests/interp.test: Added the [interp recursionlimit] command to
+ set/query the recursion limit of an interpreter. Proposal and
+ implementation from Stephen Trier. [TIP 87, Patch 522849]
+
+2002-03-06 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tcl.h, tools/tcl.wse.in, unix/configure.in,
+ * unix/tcl.spec, win/README.binary, win/configure.in, README:
+ Bumped patchlevel; this might need to change in the future, but it
+ will help us distinguish between the CVS version and the most
+ recent released version.
+
+2002-03-06 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h: for unshared objects, TclDecrRefCount now
+ frees the internal rep before the string rep - just like the
+ non-macro Tcl_DecrRefCount/TclFreeObj [Bug 524802].

+2002-03-05 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ *** 8.4a4 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
+
+ * unix/tclUnixChan.c: initial remedy for [Bug #525783] flush

+ channels, but it restores the correct flushing of std* channels on
+ exit.
+
+ * unix/README: added --enable-langinfo doc.
+
+ * unix/tcl.spec:
+ * tools/tcl.wse.in: fixed URL refs to use www.tcl.tk or SF.

+ * library/encoding/iso2022.enc:
+ * tools/encoding/iso2022-jp.esc:

+
+ * tests/encoding.test: added encoding-23.* tests
+ * generic/tclIO.c (FilterInputBytes): reset the TCL_ENCODING_START
+ flags in the ChannelState when using 'gets'. [Bug #523988]
+ Also reduced the value of ENCODING_LINESIZE from 30 to 20 as this
+ seems to improve the performance of 'gets' according to tclbench.
+
+2002-02-28 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

+
+2002-02-27 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * doc/GetIndex.3:
+ * generic/tcl.decls (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct):
+ * generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct): Revised the
+ prototype of the Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct to take its struct
+ table as a (CONST VOID *) argument, better describing what it is,
+ maintaining source compatibility, and adding CONST correctness
+ according to TIP 27. Thanks to Joe English for an elegant
+ solution. [Bug 520304]
+
+ * generic/tclDecls.h: make genstubs
+
+ * generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main,StdinProc): Corrected some reference

+ Purify. Thanks to Jeff Hobbs for the report and assistance.
+
+2002-02-27 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+

+
+ * tests/socket.test (2.7): Accepted and applied patch for Tcl SF
+ bug #523470 provided by Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+ to avoid timing problems in that test.
+
+ * unix/tclUnixChan.c (TclpOpenFileChannel): Added code to regonize
+ "/dev/tty" (by name) and to not handle it as tty / serial
+ line. This is the controlling terminal and is special. Setting
+ it into raw mode as is done for other tty's is a bad idea. This
+ is a hackish fix for expect SGF Bug #520624. The fix has
+ limitation: Tcl_MakeFileChannel handles tty's specially too, but
+ is unable to recognize /dev/tty as it only gets a file
+ descriptor, and no name for it.
+
+2002-02-26 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdAH.c (StoreStatData): corrected mem leak.
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): prevent obj leak in
+ remedial regsub case.
+
+ * generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_TranslateFileName): decr refcount for
+ error case to prevent mem leak.
+
+ * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd): removed extra obj allocation.
+
+ * unix/tclUnixSock.c (Tcl_GetHostName): added an extra
+ gethostbyname check to guard against failure with truncated
+ names returned by uname.
+
+ * unix/configure:
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_SERIAL_PORT): added sys/modem.h check and defined
+ _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED for HP-11 to get updated header decls.
+
+ * unix/tclUnixChan.c: added Unix implementation of TIP #35, serial
+ port support. [Patch #438509] (schroedter)
+
+2002-02-26 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCmpCmds.c: (bugfix to the bugfix, hopefully the last)
+ Bugfix to the new [for] compiling code: was setting a
+ exceptArray parameter using another param which wasn't yet
+ initialised, thus filling it with noise.
+
+2002-02-25 Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * mac/tclMacSock.c (TcpGetOptionProc): Changed to recognize the
+ option "-error". Essentially ignores the option, always
+ returning an empty string.

+
+ * generic/tclHash.c (AllocArrayEntry, AllocStringEntry):
+ Before invoking ckalloc when creating a Tcl_HashEntry,

+
+2002-02-25 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/tclUnixPort.h: corrected strtoll prototype mismatch on Tru64.

+
+2002-02-25 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/tclLoadDyld.c: updated to use Mac OS X 10.1 dyld APIs that

+
+2002-02-25 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds: fixing a bug in patch dated 2002-02-22, in

+ bodies, the exception range parameters were badly computed. Tests
+ forthcoming: I still can't reproduce the conditions in the

+
+2002-02-25 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

+
+ * compat/strtoull.c (strtoull):

+ * library/safe.tcl (CheckFileName): removed the limit on

+
+2002-02-22 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds: [FR 465811]. Optimising [if], [for] and

+
+ * compat/strtoll.c (strtoll):
+ * compat/strtoull.c (strtoull):
+ * unix/tclUnixPort.h:
+ * win/tclWinPort.h: Const-ing 64-bit compatability declarations.
+ Note that the return pointer is non-const because it is entirely

+
+2002-02-21 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/mkd.bat (removed):
+ * win/coffbase.txt (new):
+ * win/makefile.bc:
+ * win/makefile.vc: Changed the 'setup' target to stop using
+ the mkd.bat file and just make the directory right in the rule.
+ Same change to makefile.bc. configure.in nor Makefile.in use
+ it.
+
+ coffbase.txt will be the master list for our "prefered base
+ addresses" set by the linker. This should improve load-time
+ (NT only) by avoiding relocations. Submissions to the list
+ by extension authors are encouraged.
+
+ Added a 'tidy' target to compliment 'clean' and 'hose' to remove
+ just the outputs. Also removed the $(winlibs) macro as it wasn't
+ being used.
+
+ Stuff left to do:
+ 1) get the winhelp target to stop building in the tools/
+ directory.
+ 2) stop using rmd.bat
+ 3) add more dependacy rules.
+
+ * win/tclAppInit.c: Reverted back to -r1.6, as the header file
+ change to tclPort.h won't allow for easy embedded support
+ outside of the source dist. Thanks to Don Porter for pointing
+ this out to me.
+
+2002-02-21 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/makefile.vc:
+ * win/rules.vc: Added a new "loimpact" option that sets the
+ -ws:aggressive linker option. Off by default. It's said to
+ keep the heap use low at the expense of alloc speed.
+
+ * win/tclAppInit.c: Changed #include "tcl.h" to be tclPort.h to
+ remove the raw windows.h include. tclPort.h brings in windows.h
+ already and lessens the pre-compiled-header mush and the randomly
+ useless #pragma comment (lib,...) references throughout the big
+ windows.h tree (as observed at high linker warning levels).
+
+2002-02-21 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tcl.h: Better guessing of LP64/ILP32 architecture, but
+ now sensitive to presence of (suitable) <limits.h>
+
+2002-02-20 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tcl.decls (Tcl_RegExpRange,Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct):
+ Overlooked a few source incompatibilities. Now using CONST84.
+ * generic/tclDecls.h: make genstubs
+ * generic/tcl.h (Tcl_CmdObjTraceProc): silence warning from Sun
+ Workshop compiler.
+
+2002-02-20 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/buildall.vc.bat:
+ * win/makefile.vc:
+ * win/rules.vc: General clean-ups. Added compiler and linker tests
+ for a) the pentium 0x0F errata, b) optimizing (not all have this),
+ and c) linker v6 section alignment confusion. All these are tested
+ first to make sure any D4002 or LNK1117 warnings aren't displayed.
+ The pentium 0x0F errata is a recommended switch. The v5 linker's
+ section alignment default is 512, but the v6 linker was changed
+ to 4096 in an attempt to speed loading on Win98. I changed the
+ default to always be 512 across both linkers, unless linking
+ statically, then 4096 is used for the claimed speed effect. Using
+ a 512 alignment saves 12k bytes of dead space in the DLL.
+
+ Added IA64 B-stepping errata switch when the compiler supports it.
+
+ Added profiling to $(lflags) when requested and also removed the
+ explict -entry option as the default works fine as is.
+
+ Removed win/tclWinInit.c from the special case section to let it
+ use the common implicit rule as the $(EXTFLAGS) macro it had was
+ never referenced anywhere.
+
+2002-02-20 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tcl.h: Added code to guess the correct settings for
+ TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG and TCL_WIDE_INT_TYPE when configure doesn't
+ tell us them, as can happen with extensions.
+
+2002-02-19 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * doc/format.n: Updated docs to list the specification.
+ * generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FormatObjCmd): Made behaviour on 64-bit
+ platforms correctly meet the specification, that %d works with the
+ native word-sized integer, instead of trying to guess (wrongly)
+ from the value being passed.
+
+2002-02-19 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * changes: First draft of updated changes for 8.4a4 release.
+
+2002-02-15 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * unix/tclUnixPort.h: add strtoll/strtoull declarations for
+ platforms that do not define them.
+
+ * generic/tclIndexObj.c (STRING_AT): removed ptrdiff_t cast and
+ use of VOID* in default case (GNU-ism).

+
+ +----------------------+
+ | TIP #72 IMPLEMENTED. |
+ +----------------------+
+
+ There are a lot of changes from this TIP, so please see
+ http://purl.org/tcl/tip/72.html for discussion of
+ backward-compatability issues, but the main ones modifications are
+ in:
+
+ * generic/tcl.h: New types.
+ * generic/tcl.decls: New public functions.
+ * generic/tclExecute.c: 64-bit aware bytecode engine.
+ * generic/tclBinary.c: 64-bit handling in [binary] command.
+ * generic/tclScan.c: 64-bit handling in [scan] command.
+ * generic/tclCmdAH.c: 64-bit handling in [file] and [format]
+ commands.
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: New "wordSize" entry in ::tcl_platform.
+ * generic/tclFCmd.c: Large-file support (with many consequences.)
+ * generic/tclIO.c: Large-file support (with many consequences.)
+ * compat/strtoll.c, compat/strtoull.c: New support functions.
+ * unix/tcl.m4, unix/configure: 64-bit support and greatly enhanced
+ cacheing.
+
+ Most other changes, including all those in doc/* and test/* as
+ well as the majority in the platform directories, follow on from
+ these.
+
+ Also coming out of the woodwork:
+ * generic/tclIndex.c: Better support for Cray PVP.
+ * win/tclWinMtherr.c: Better Borland support.
+
+ Note that, in a number of places through the Unix part of the
+ platform support, there are Tcl_Platform* references. These are
+ expanded into the correct way to call that particular underlying
+ function, i.e. with or without a '64' suffix, and should be used
+ by people working on the core in preference to the API functions
+ they overlay so that the code remains portable depending on the
+ presence or absence of 64-bit support on the underlying platform.
+
+ ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***: Extracted from the TIP
+
+ SUMMARY OF INCOMPATIBILITIES AND FIXES
+ ======================================
+
+ The behaviour of expressions containing constants that appear
+ positive but which have a negative internal representation will
+ change, as these will now usually be interpreted as wide
+ integers. This is always fixable by replacing the constant with
+ int(constant).
+
+ Extensions creating new channel types will need to be altered as
+ different types are now in use in those areas. The change to the
+ declaration of Tcl_FSStat and Tcl_FSLstat (which are the new
+ preferred API in any case) are less serious as no non-alpha
+ releases have been made yet with those API functions.
+
+ Scripts that are lax about the use of the l modifier in format and
+ scan will probably need to be rewritten. This should be very
+ uncommon though as previously it had absolutely no effect.
+
+ Extensions that create new math functions that take more than one
+ argument will need to be recompiled (the size of Tcl_Value
+ changes), and functions that accept arguments of any type
+ (TCL_EITHER) will need to be rewritten to handle wide integer
+ values. (I do not expect this to affect many extensions at all.)
+
+2002-02-14 Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_GetsObjCmd): Trivial fix for bug
+ #517503, a memory leak reported by Miguel Sofer
+ <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>. The leak happens if an error
+ occurs for "set var [gets $chan]" and leak one empty object.
+
+2002-02-12 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * djgpp/ (new directory)
+ * djgpp/Makefile (new):

+ * unix/tclMtherr.c:
+ * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c:
+ * unix/tclUnixFile.c:
+ * unix/tclUnixInit.c:
+ * unix/tclUnixPort.h: Early stage of DJGPP support for building
+ Tcl on DOS. Dynamic loading isn't working, yet. Requires watt32
+ for the TCP/IP stack. No autoconf, yet. Barely tested, but
+ makes a working exe that runs Tcl in protected-mode, flat memory.
+ [exec] and pipes will need the most work as multi-tasking on DOS
+ has to be carefully.

+
+ * tests/scan.test:
+ * generic/tclScan.c (Tcl_ScanObjCmd): corrected scan 0x... %x
+ handling that didn't accept the 0x as a prelude to a base 16
+ number. [Bug #495213]
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileRegexpCmd): made early check
+ for bad RE to stop checking further.
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): added special case to
+ search for simple 'string map' style regsub calls.
+ Delayed creation of resultPtr object until an initial match is
+ made, as the input string object can then be reused for no matches.
+ (Tcl_StringObjCmd): optimization improvements to the STR_MAP
+ algorithm for zero-length and nocase cases.
+
+ * tests/regexp.test:
+ * tests/regexpComp.test: extra code coverage tests.
+
+ * tests/string.test: added 10.18 and 10.19 extra tests.

+
+ * unix/tclUnixChan.c (FileOutputProc): Fixed [bug 465765] reported
+ by Dale Talcott <daletalcott@users.sourceforge.net>. Avoid
+ writing nothing into a file as STREAM based implementations will
+ consider this a EOF (if the file is a pipe). Not done in the
+ generic layer as this type of writing is actually useful to
+ check the state of a socket.
+
+ * doc/open.n: Fixed [Bug 511540], added cross-reference to 'pid'

+
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_LOAD_TCLCONFIG):

+ values of TCL_BUILD_LIB_SPEC, TCL_BUILD_STUB_LIB_SPEC,
+ and TCL_BUILD_STUB_LIB_PATH when tclConfig.sh is loaded

+
+ * win/tclWinReg.c (regConnectRegistryProc,RecursiveDeleteKey)

+
+ * tests/regexpComp.test (new):
+ * generic/tclInt.h:
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: added TclCompileRegexpCmd entry
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileStringCmd): corrected to return
+ TCL_OUT_LINE_COMPILE instead of TCL_ERROR for parsing errors, so
+ it only throws the error for runtime compile, in case the user
+ modifies 'string'.
+ (TclCompileRegexpCmd): first try at a byte-compiled regexp
+ command. It handles static strings and ^$ bounded static strings.
+ (TclCompileAppendCmd): made TclPushVarName call always use
+ TCL_CREATE_VAR as numWords is always > 2 at that point.
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode:INST_LIST): correct
+ possibly dangerous decr in macro call.
+
+ * win/tclWinInit.c (TclpFindVariable): CONSTification touch-up

+ * win/tclWinReg.c (OpenSubKey): corrected bug introduced in
+ CONSTification that dropped pointer reference.

+ * ChangeLog.2000 (new file):
+ * ChangeLog: broke changes from 2000 into ChangeLog.2000 to reduce
+ size of the main ChangeLog.
+
+2002-01-28 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+

+ -Za compiler switch with the microsoft compiler.

+
+ Make -eofchar and -translation options read only for

+
+ * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_GetChannelOption, Tcl_SetChannelOption):
+ Instead of returning nothing for the -translation option
+ on a server socket, always return "auto". Return the empty

+ a server socket. Fixup -eofchar usage message so that
+ it matches the implementation.
+ * tests/io.test: Add -eofchar tests and -translation tests

+
+ * generic/tclIO.c (WriteChars): Fix for SF #506297, reported by

+ chosen in the script exposing the bug writes out three intro
+ characters when TCL_ENCODING_START is set, but does not consume
+ any input as TCL_ENCODING_END is cleared. As some output was
+ generated the enclosing loop calls UtfToExternal again, again
+ with START set. Three more characters in the out and still no
+ use of input ... To break this infinite loop we remove
+ TCL_ENCODING_START from the set of flags after the first call
+ (no condition is required, the later calls remove an unset flag,
+ which is a no-op). This causes the subsequent calls to
+ UtfToExternal to consume and convert the actual input.

+
+ * generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_GetsObjCmd): Fixed bug #504642 as
+ reported by Brian Griffin <bgriffin@users.sourceforge.net>,
+ using his patch. Before the patch the generic I/O layer held an
+ unannounced reference to the interp result to store the read
+ line into. This unfortunately has disastrous results if the
+ channel driver executes a tcl script to perform its operation,
+ this freeing the interp result. In that case we are
+ dereferencing essentially a dangling reference. It is not truly
+ dangling because the object is in the free list, but this only
+ causes us to smash the free list and have the error occur later
+ somewhere else. The patch simply creates a new object for the
+ line and later sets it into the interp result when we are done
+ with reading.

+
+ * doc/Tcl_Main.3:
+ * generic/tclMain.c: Substantial rewrite and expanded documentation

+
+ * Interactive Tcl_Main can now enter a main loop, exit
+ that loop and continue interactive operations. The loop
+ may even exit in the midst of interactive command typing
+ without loss of the partial command. [Bugs 486453, 474131]
+ * Tcl_Main now gracefully handles deletion of its master
+ interpreter.
+ * Interactive Tcl_Main can now operate with non-blocking stdin
+ * Interactive Tcl_Main can now detect EOF on stdin even in
+ mid-command. [Bug 491341]
+ * Added VFS-aware internal routines for managing the
+ startup script selection.
+ * Tcl variable 'tcl_interactive' is now linked to C variable
+ 'tty' so that one can disable/enable interactive prompts
+ at the script level when there is no startup script. This
+ is meant for use by the test suite.
+ * Consistent use of the Tcl libraries standard channels as
+ returned by Tcl_GetStdChannel(); as opposed to the channels
+ named 'stdin', 'stdout', and 'stderr' in the master interp,
+ which can be different or unavailable.
+ * Tcl_Main now calls Tcl_Exit() if evaluation of [exit] in the
+ master interpreter returns, assuring Tcl_Main does not return.
+ * Documented Tcl_Main's absence from public stub table
+ * Documented that Tcl_Main does not return.
+ * Documented Tcl variables set by Tcl_Main.
+ * All prompts are done from a single procedure, Prompt.
+ * Use of Tcl_Obj-enabled interfaces everywhere.
+
+ * generic/tclInt.decls (TclGetStartupScriptPath,
+ TclSetStartupScriptPath): New internal VFS-aware routines for
+ managing the startup script of Tcl_Main.
+ * generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+ * generic/tclStubInit.c: make genstubs
+
+ * generic/tclTest.c (TestsetmainloopCmd,TestexitmainloopCmd,
+ Tcltest_Init,TestinterpdeleteCmd):
+ * tests/main.test (new): Added new file to test suite that
+ thoroughly tests generic/tclMain.c; added some new test commands
+ for testing Tcl_SetMainLoop().
