+ ** upport to 8.4 of mac code changes for 8.3.3 & various new
+ ** changes for 8.4, some already backported to 8.3.4 (patch #435658)
+
+ * generic/tclObj.c: added #include to fix missing prototype errors
+
+ * generic/tcl.h: MAC_TCL: addition of ConditionalMacros.h and use of
+ DLLIMPORT and DLLEXPORT like on other platforms. ( => 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.
