( => no longer need - the .exp files and can remove use of #pragma export that never worked - well) - removed line continuation in #if clause as this breaks the mac - resource compiler (note that *.r files include tcl.h) - - * mac/tclMacFile.c: fixed bug in permission checking code - - * mac/tclMacLoad.c: corrected utf8 handling, comparison of - package names to code fragment names changed to only match on the - length of package name, this allows for fragment names with version - numbers appended - - * mac/tclMacInt.h: - * generic/tclInt.h: - * mac/tclMacTime.c: - * generic/tclIOUtil.c: moved declaration of TclpGetGMTOffset() - - * mac/tclMacShLib.exp: - * mac/tclMacOSA.exp: - * mac/tclMacMSLPrefix.h: removed files - - * unix/Makefile.in: removed reference to .exp files - - * mac/MW_TclBuildLibHeader.h: - * mac/MW_TclBuildLibHeader.pch: - * mac/MW_TclHeaderCommon.h: - * mac/MW_TclStaticHeader.h: - * mac/MW_TclStaticHeader.pch: new precompiled header files - - * mac/MW_TclAppleScriptHeader.pch: - * mac/MW_TclHeader.pch: - * mac/MW_TclTestHeader.pch: - * mac/tclMacCommonPch.h: revised precompiled header handling: now - include a common header file 'MW_TclHeaderCommon.h' from all .pch - files, the .pch files themselves now only setup #defines (e.g. - BUILD_tcl, STATIC_BUILD, TCL_DEBUG, TCL_THREADS) like in makefiles on - other platforms. - - * mac/tclMac.h: - * mac/tclMacPort.h: - * mac/tclMacInt.h: use of BUILD_tcl and TCL_STORAGE_CLASS like on other - platforms, standardize #include'd files to what's done on other - platforms, removed use of #pragma export. - - * mac/tcltkMacBuildSupport.sea.hqx: new archive of mac build support - files & suggested build environment directory hierarchy: - 'Building MacTclTk' & 'CW Pro6 changes' readme's. - projects for MoreFiles 1.5.2 static & shared libraries. - project & sources for 'pseudoCarbonSupport', see below. - included XML versions of the projects for CW Pro5 or Pro7 users. - - * mac/tclMacProjects.sea.hqx: updated mac build project files: - build support for CodeWarrior Pro6, UnivIntf 3.4 & shared runtime - libraries: the MSL libraries and MoreFiles are no longer compiled into - Tcl.shlb, all non-static binaries now use the Pro6 shared runtime - libraries and MoreFiles.shlb. These shlbs are merged into the standard - Wish and TclShell, but 3rd party applications linking with Tcl.shlb or - Tk.shlb need to setup access to them. (see the "(sh-ppc)" targets - for how to do this.) - included XML versions of the projects for CW Pro5 or Pro7 users. - use compat/strtod.c instead of MSL's strtod() - use WASTE versions of MSL for tcl test target to avoid text buffer - cutoff at 32k. - Merging the full MSL.shlb and the other shlbs into Wish & TclShell - makes them a bit larger than before, use unmerged binaries to avoid - copying the shared code with every application, e.g. when deploying - numerous Wish based droplets. - Note that using CW Pro5 to compile extensions is in principle still - possible, but need to link with Pro6 runtime libraries. - Tclapplescript now loads and runs on CFM68k. - Highly experimental "pseudoCarbon" support for Tcl only on OS 8/9: - binaries in "Build:(Carbon):" link against CarbonLib instead of - InterfaceLib, however the actual code has not been carbonized! i.e. it - will not run on OSX and may not even run properly with CarbonLib. - This should in principle allow you to build & test OS9 CFM Carbon - binaries that need to link with Tcl.shlb. On OSX you can use the - native Tcl.framework, but you have to build a MachO binary as there - is no CFM glue lib for Tcl.framework. - the library pseudoCarbonSupport.shlb manually loads the symbols - from InterfaceLib that are not in CarbonLib but are needed by the - uncarbonized code in Tcl.shlb and TclShell. - - * generic/tclMain.c: MAC_TCL: workaround for broken/non-standard isatty - on MW Pro6, #include <unistd.h> instead of defining isatty - - * mac/tclMacPort.h: MW Pro6 changes for MSL fcntl.h, stat.h & isatty - - * mac/tclMacAppInit.c: add EXTERN to InstallConsole to enable DLL - export via the TCL_STORAGE_CLASS mechanism. - - * mac/tclMacFCmd.c: fix for FSpDirectoryCopy API change - - * mac/tclMacLibrary.c: emit compile time error when - TCL_REGISTER_LIBRARY and USE_TCL_STUBS are both defined at the same - time in an extension, this use is not currently supported and will - result in a crash when dynamically loading the extension. - - * mac/tclMacApplication.r: - * mac/tclMacLibrary.r: - * mac/tclMacOSA.r: - * mac/tclMacResource.r: fixed obsolete copyrights/dates in version - strings; updated version strings to standard usage; added support for - '(Support Libraries)' subfolder for shared runtime libraries in - unmerged binaries; commented out demo setting of "Tcl Environment - Variables"; reorganized resources among these files to avoid - multiple copies in applications and shared libraries, the script - libraries are now no longer duplicated in Tclsh but are only included - in the resources of Tcl.shlb. - - * mac/tclMacChan.c: - * mac/tclMacSock.c: cast for *BlockMode - - * mac/tclMacUtil.c: - * mac/tclMacMath.h: removed obsolete hypot() definition - - * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: - * generic/tclInt.decls: - * generic/tclStubInit.c: - * mac/tclMacNotify.c: - * mac/tclMacOSA.c: - * mac/tclMacUtil.c: - * generic/tclThreadTest.c: renamed routines conflicting with standard - Apple or MoreFiles headers (at compile or link time): - GetGlobalMouse -> GetGlobalMouseTcl - FSpGetDirectoryID -> FSpGetDirectoryIDTcl - FSpOpenResFileCompat -> FSpOpenResFileCompatTcl - FSpCreateResFileCompat -> FSpCreateResFileCompatTcl - NewThread -> NewTestThread - the renamed MoreFiles *Tcl routines are just wrappers calling into the - MoreFiles DLL. - - * mac/tclMacCommonPch.h: - * mac/tclMacThrd.c: - * mac/tclMacPanic.c: removed OLDROUTINENAMES define, renamed obsolete - apple API names to modern equivalents; UH3.4 support: added #include - <ControlDefinitions.h>, updated New*Proc() calls to New*UPP(). - - * mac/tclMacUnix.c: added missing (Tcl_Obj ***) cast to - Tcl_ListObjGetElements call - - * mac/tclMacAlloc.c: modernized TclpSysAlloc() to use temporary - memory instead of system heap memory when available (MacOS - >= 7.5 and possibly earlier, use of system heap has been - discouraged for a long time and has many disadvantages, e.g. memory - isn't paged out, and errors can very easily bring the system down); - fixed crashing bug in TclpSysRealloc() and CleanUpExitProc() where - memory was being accessed after having been deallocated; fixed - memory leak in (de)allocation code (for every block ever allocated - with TclpSysAlloc, a Ptr was leaked), if temporary memory is - available, don't track allocated memory, instead use - RecoverHandle() to get Handle from Ptr, otherwise use doubly linked - list to correctly track memory and free all allocated memory; added - new option for ConfigureMemory: MEMORY_DONT_USE_TEMPMEM, disables - use of temporary memory even when it would be available, only - necessary when writing e.g. a driver (using tcl??); increased - fraction of application heap reserved for OS routines to 512K - - * compat/strftime.c: - * mac/tclMacTime.c: - * mac/tclMacPort.h: - * generic/tclInt.decls: - * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: - * generic/tclStubInit.c: timezone support for mac via - TclpGetTZName() like on windows, using an inverse timezone table - adapted from tclDate.c to map gmtoffset in seconds gotten from - the MacOS APIs to a timezone string, as there is no good way to get - this info from MacOS. I had to make up some unusual timezones and - arbitrarily decide on the most standard of the multiple choices - available for every timezone. - - * generic/tclExecute.c: workaround for a MSL bug/misfeature: for - very small floats, MSL can return errno ERANGE but a - non-zero value ( < LDBL_MIN however) - - * mac/tclMacAppInit.c: support for WASTE text library using - temporary memory, setting has no effect if WASTE is not used. - - * mac/tclMacPanic.c: removed duplicate code from generic/tclPanic.c - and added that file to projects instead. - - * tests/all.tcl: set tcltest::singleProcess 1 as multiple processes - are not available on the mac. - - * tests/cmdAH.test: access time not available on the mac, skip the - atime touch test - - * tests/appendComp.test: - * tests/cmdMZ.test: - * tests/compile.test: - * tests/exec.test: - * tests/fileName.test: - * tests/lset.test: - * tests/namespace.test: - * tests/tcltest.test: added missing cleanups/tests/catches that - caused tests to fail on the mac. - - * doc/tclvars.n: doc bug, env(PWD) should be env(HOME) [Bug 463834] - -2001-11-21 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net> - - * tests/trace.test (trace-8.8): Corrected test for Bug 219393. - - * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken,CallCommandTraces): - * generic/tclCmdMZ>c (Tcl_UntraceCommand): Added Tcl_Preserve and - Tcl_Release calls to prevent deletion of CommandTrace structures - until all callers are done using them, preventing memory corruption. - [Bug 453805] - -2001-11-20 Kevin B.

On my system - it was closer to a 120x hit. Problem report by Uwe Traum <no - email address available>. - - The fix goes like this: The obstacle is 'FlushFileBuffers', - executed whenever Tcl writes data to the OS, as Tcl has to wait - for the disk to complete I/O, and disks are slow. We remove that - obstacle. This opens another problem, [file size] reports back - wrong numbers. So for [file size] we add the call back in. As - optimization we keep track of the channels which were written to - and flush only these. - - * win/tclWinFile.c (TclpObjStat): Added a call to - 'TclWinFlushDirtyChannels'. This ensures that [file size] and - related commands report the correct size of a file even if Tcl - has recently written to it. Unixoid OS's always report the - correct size even for files with pending data, but Win* - syssystem don't. They only report what is actually on disk. - - * win/tclWinInt.h: Added declaration of - 'TclWinFlushDirtyChannels', making it available to other parts - of the tcl core. - - * win/tclWinChan.c (TclWinFlushDirtyChannels): New, internal, - procedure. Goes through the list of open file channels and - forces the OS to flush its file buffers for all which were - written to since the last call of this function. This is an - expensive operation as Tcl has to wait for the OS to complete - actual writes to the disk. - - (FileInfo): Added dirty flag required by the procedure above. - - (FileOutputProc): Removed flushing of file buffers, setting the - dirty flag instead. This means that the previously incurred - delays do not happen anymore. - - (TclWinOpenFileChannel): Added initialization of 'dirty' flag. - -2001-09-06 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com> - - * doc/http.n: noted -binary, charset and coding state keys. - * tests/http.test: - * library/http/pkgIndex.tcl: - * library/http/http.tcl (geturl): correctly get charset parameter - and convert text according to specified encoding (if known).

After examining the most common Tcl - extensions (TclX, BLT, Tk, TclPro, Mktclapp), it has been - determined that only TclpGetCwd and the Access/Stat/Open - insert/delete hooks of the internal fs functions are ever used. - The remaining functions from Tcl's internal interfaces have - therefore been removed, since Tcl now exports a more suitable - public API (Tcl_FS...) - - * generic/tclInt.stubs: - * generic/tclInt.h: updated for removed internal functions. - Some new internal functions have been put in tclInt.h (and - not exported in the stub table because good public equivalents - exist). - * generic/tclTest.c: some test functions used the internal private - APIs. These tests have been retained, but modified to use - public APIs. Also objectified the internal filesystem tests. - * win/tclWinFile.c: removed TclpStat, TclpAccess and refactored - code to use NativeAccess, NativeStat. This should speed up - stat, access and glob commands. - * win/tclWinFCmd.c: removed all TclpCopy/Rename/Delete - File/Directory string-based procedures which aren't used any more. - Improved efficiency of some other procedures. Ensure that filename - conversions with a NULL interp do not crash Tcl. - * mac/tclMacFCmd.c: wrapped long lines and cleaned up - TclpObjNormalizePath, removed all TclpCopy/Rename/Delete - File/Directory string-based procedures which aren't used any more. - * mac/tclMacFile.c: removed obsolete TclpStat, TclpAccess, TclpChdir, - etc. - * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: removed use of TclpAccess, removed all - TclpCopy/Rename/Delete File/Directory string-based procedures which - aren't used any more. - * unix/tclUnixFile.c: removed obsolete TclpStat, TclpAccess, TclpChdir, - etc. - * tcl(Unix|Mac|Win)Chan.c: objectified TclpOpenFileChannel. - * various 'load' implementations all objectified. - * generic/tclFileName.c: removed redundant code. - * generic/tclIOUtil.c: removed TclStat, TclAccess, TclpListVolumes. - Fix to MatchInDirectory at the root of a volume.

The main changes - integrated here are such efficiency improvements. Some - limitations of the original implementation have also now been - lifted. Meanwhile a variety of fs bugs (some old, some new) - have also been fixed. - - * generic/tclFileName.c: Made Tcl_FSSplitPath more efficient, - and removed some static string-based procedures which are no - longer used. Much more objectification. Tcl_FSJoinPath - is now very efficient and more aware of virtual filesystems. - Clarified where the Mac-specific code attempts to interpret - Unix-style paths. Modified TclDoGlob to use lstat not - access to fix [Bug: 434876, L. Virden] - * tcl(Win|Unix|Mac)FCmd.c: - * tcl(Win|Unix|Mac)File.c: replaced TclpListVolumes with - TclpObjListVolumes with different signature, updated code due - to more efficient signature of Tcl_FSGetTranslatedPath. Used - cached native paths where possible to improve efficiency -- - this was completed on MacOS, but on Unix and Win the traversal - functions make the task much more complex, so there are still - some improvements possible there. Removed unused - TclpNormalizePath which had been left in tclWinFCmd.c. - Objectified all 'file attributes' functions. Fixed the new - [Bug:451571, Bruce Stephens] which is most obvious on Unix, - but could occur on MacOS or Windows. This bug actually existed - in Tcl 8.3.x but was only made obvious by the recent filesystem - overhaul when the code was exercised more heavily. - * tests/fileName.test: Three new tests to exercise the above bug, - and make sure it is fixed correctly. - * unix/tclUnixFile.c: avoid panic in glob when a link - doesn't point anywhere. It would probably be good to define - exactly what Tcl should do in circumstances like these, and - make sure mac/win/unix all behave accordingly. [Bug: 417111, - Hemang Lavana]. Also fixed misleading/obsolete comment in the code. - * generic/tcl.stubs: changed signature of Tcl_FSGetTranslatedPath - and added Tcl_FSGetTranslatedStringPath. - These changes allow further optimisations in the FS code. - * generic/tcl.h: changed signature of Tcl_FSListVolumes so that - it doesn't require a Tcl interpreter plus result. Renamed - Tcl_FSReadLink to Tcl_FSLink with additional argument so - we can support making links in the future. [Patch: 450340] - * generic/tclInt.h: - added declaration for TclpObjListVolumes. Objectified - internal call signatures for 'file attributes' functions, and - added an internal objectified get path type function. - * generic/tclIOUtil.c: added the moved function TclpListVolumes - which calls platform specific code (needed for backwards - compatibility), and improved efficiency of parts of the FS - (particularly file normalization). Much less copying and - memory allocation is required now. added new GetPathType - so that changes in 'file volumes' can actually affect files' - types, and objectified more code. Made current code work - with test suite artificially changing current platform. - Added 'static' keywords where required. - * generic/tclIO.c: - * generic/tclTest.c: Added 'static' keywords, fixing - [Bug: 453872, Bob Techentin] - * generic/tclCmdAH.c: file command implementation updated for - API changes, removed unnecessary special-case SplitPath static - function, since it no longer helps prevent code duplication. - Moved setting of interpreter result to each individual location - that actually required it, to avoid very large code separation - between reading and setting the result. - * doc/FileSystem.3: updated documentation for the new or - changed APIs, and clarified some issues. - * doc/SplitPath.3: added pointer to newer APIs in FileSystem.3 - * doc/filename.n: clarified current implementation of tilde - support on Mac/Win. [Bug:453514, Sergey Kuzmin] - * doc/glob.n: improved documentation for '-directory' and '-path' - options. - - There are now many private, obsolete, platform-specific 'Tclp' - string-based filesystem APIs which could be removed. We should - check whether any of these are used by extensions and, at least - in Tcl 9, remove them. - - The above changes signify a ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** - with 8.4a3, since signatures of two functions in the new API - have changed, but not with older versions of Tcl. - -2001-08-23 Donal K.
