- * generic/tclCkalloc.c (MemoryCmd, TclFinalizeMemorySubsystem):
- Added the [memory onexit] command, intended to replace [checkmem].
-
- * doc/DumpActiveMemory.3:
- * doc/memory.n: Updated documentation for [memory] and related
- matters. [Bug 487677]
-
- * mac/tclMacBOAMain.c (Tcl_Main, CheckmemCmd): Removed all the
- machinery for the [checkmem] command that is completely duplicated
- by code in generic/tclCkalloc.c.
-
- * generic/tclBinary.c:
- * generic/tclListObj.c:
- * generic/tclObj.c:
- * generic/tclStringObj.c: Removed references to [checkmem] in
- comments, referencing [memory active] instead, since it is
- documented.

-2001-12-28 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * mac/tclMacInit.c:
- * mac/tclMacTclCode.r: synced up tclInit features to unix/win:
- implemented TclSetPreInitScript support, use of existing tclInit
- proc if defined, check of default encoding dir if set. Changed
- script library resource names to lowercase (i.e. same as
- corresponding files). Used Tcl_JoinPath instead of string append.
- Check that system encoding could be loaded before utf translating
- the LibraryPath.
- * mac/tclMacApplication.r:
- * mac/tclMacLibrary.r:
- * mac/tclMacOSA.r:

-
-2001-12-19 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-
- * tools/tcl.wse.in: Fix for #495120. tcl.wse.in was
- stored in cvs with improper <eol>. This resulted in
- corrupted <eol> when checked-out on translating CVS
- clients such as windows (CRCRLF) and mac (CRCR).

- script that was previously being used.
- * unix/configure: Regen.
- * unix/configure.in: Subst into dltest/Makefile.
- * unix/dltest/Makefile.in: Define LIBS using
- DL_LIBS, LIBS, and MATH_LIBS variables instead

-
- * win/tclWinNotify.c (Tcl_FinalizeNotifier): Stop Tcl on Windows
- from crashing when shutdown from a non-Tcl thread. Fixes Bug
- #217982 [orig. 5804] reported by Hugh Vu and Gene Leache. I'm
- not convinced that the shutdown process is right even with this,
- but it was definitely wrong without...
-
-2001-12-13 Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * win/tclWinSock.c (TcpGetOptionProc): Fix for tcl bug item

-
- * generic/tclCompCmds.c:
- * generic/tclCompile.c:
- * generic/tclExecute.c: consistency patch, to make all
- instructions that pop a variable number of Tcl_Obj's off the
- execution stack take the number of popped objects as first
- operand. Modified *only* the new instructions
- INST_LIST_INDEX_MULTI and INST_LSET_FLAT, so this has no effect
- on bytecodes generated up to tcl8.4a3 inclusive.
-
- * generic/tclExecute.c: fix debug messages in INST_LSET_LIST.
-
- * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileLindexCmd):

- * tests/expr-old.test, tests/compile.test, tests/compExpr.test
- * tests/compExpr-old.test: Kept up to date with syntax errors.
- * generic/tclParseExpr.c (ParsePrimaryExpr): Rewrote to give even
- better syntax errors in the fairly common case of an identifier
- without decorations by guessing based on the currently available
- functions. Also made messages consistent between memdebug and
- ordinary builds.
-
-2001-12-05 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclVar.c:
- * tests/trace.test: new algorithm for [array get], safe when there
- are traces that modify the array [Bug #449893].
-
-2001-12-04 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
-
- * tests/compExpr-old.test, tests/compExpr.test, tests/compile.test:
- * tests/expr-old.test, tests/expr.test, tests/for.test:

-
-2001-12-03 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-
- * win/makefile.vc: Some install target bugs repaired along with
- $(TCLSTUBLIB) added to the dependencies rather than implicit through
- the dde and reg extensions which don't happen to always require it
- for some build types.
-
-2001-11-30 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclVar.c: Tcl_Preserve'ing VarTrace structures to avoid

-
-2001-11-29 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
-

- {knownbug} after discussion with Don Porter and Kevin Kenny.
-
-2001-11-29 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

- [Bug: 231259]
-
-2001-11-29 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
-
- * generic/tclBinary.c (BINARY_SCAN_MAX_CACHE, Tcl_BinaryObjCmd,
- ScanNumber): Added caching scheme to reduce number of object
- allocations when doing scans of large repetitive binary strings.
- See comments in file for reasoning behind implementation.
- Suggested by Miguel Sofer in Patch #429916, but independently
- implemented.
-
-2001-11-28 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
-
- * doc/regsub.n, doc/regexp.n: Converted dangling references to

-
-2001-11-27 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-

- Converge at install will need to be the solution for Tk and all other
- extensions.
-
-2001-11-27 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
-
- * tests/cmdAH.test (cmdAH-24.2): Made test less sensitive to OS
- preemption, but perfection isn't practical [Bug 463189, reported
- by Don Porter.]
-
- * tests/switch.test (switch-9.*): Added tests to exercise more of
- the argument checking. (switch-7.2,switch-7.3): Test changed
- behaviour slightly.
- * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SwitchObjCmd): Reworked argument parsing
- to be stricter about what it accepts. This should make uses of
- the [switch] command be more maintainable. [Bug 475397, reported
- by Don Porter.]
-
-2001-11-26 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: 'make genstubs' after changes
- in 2001-11-23 commit from Daniel Steffen.
-
-2001-11-24 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * unix/Makefile.in: Add comments to better describe
- TCL_EXE and when it should be available.
- * win/Makefile.in: Add TCL_EXE variable to be used
- by rules like `make genstubs`. Don't set TCL_LIBRARY
- before running `make genstubs` since we will be running
- with a tclsh from the PATH not the one we build.
-
-2001-11-24 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * win/configure: Regen.
- * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Add comctl32.lib
- to wish link libs. This change was originally added
- to Tk on 2001-11-09 but was not committed to Tcl.
-
-2001-11-23 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * unix/Makefile.in:
- * unix/configure.in:
- * unix/install-sh:
- * unix/mkLinks:
- * unix/mkLinks.tcl:
- * unix/tclLoadDyld.c:
- * unix/tclMtherr.c: Mac OSX support: build system, dynamic code loading
- and support for case-insensitive filesystems in mkLinks (patch #435258)
-
-2001-11-23 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- Up-port 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

-
- * generic/tclBasic.c
- * generic/tclCompile.h:
- * generic/tclExecute.c: moving all code relative to bytecodes from
- tclBasic.c to tclExecute.c - the functions RecordTracebackInfo and
- Tcl_ExprObj went to tclExecute.c, and new interface function was
- defined (TclCompEvalObj).
- The final objective of this sequence of moves is to provide a
- clean, clear-cut interface between Tcl's core and the
- compiler/engine subsystem.

-2001-11-20 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclBasic.c
- * generic/tclCompile.h:
- * generic/tclExecute.c: factoring out of common code in tclBasic.c
- (new function TclInterpReady defined: it resets the interp's
- result, then checks that it hasn't been deleted and that the
- nesting level is acceptable). Passed the responsibility of calling
- it to the *callers* of TclEvalObjvInternal.
-
-2001-11-20 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclBasic.c

-
- * unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings): update of patch
- from 2001-11-16 that uses the old Tcl encoding check mechanism as
- a fallback to the original. Also added a TCL_DEFAULT_ENCODING
- #define (defaults to iso8859-1). Tcl will first try setlocale and
- nl_langinfo, and if that fails, guess based on certain LANG|LC_*
- env vars. [Patch #418645]

- Added test to ensure normalization is correct.
-
-2001-11-19 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclBasic.c:
- * generic/tclParse.c: Code reorganisation. Moved all evaluation
- functions from tclParse.c to tclBasic.c, so that now tclParse.c
- deals exclusively with parsing and all evaluations are done by
- code in tclBasic.c. The functions moved are: TclEvalObjvInternal,
- Tcl_EvalObjv, Tcl_LogCommandInfo, Tcl_EvalTokensStandard,
- Tcl_EvalTokens, Tcl_EvalEx, Tcl_Eval, Tcl_EvalObj and
- Tcl_GlobalEvalObj.
-
-2001-11-19 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
-
- * tests/trace.test (trace-8.8): Added adapted version of Bug
- #219393 as new test; the test won't reliably show up the old
- problem unless it is being run under something like Purify, but
- something is better than nothing...
-
- * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_TraceVar2, Tcl_UntraceVar2): Added missing
- mask bits for trace result type and a check for a nonsense flag
- combination.
- * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TraceVarProc): Added missing test for NULL
- when deleting a trace that doesn't cause an error.
-
- * doc/TraceVar.3: Added documentation for change due to TIP#68.
-
- * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TraceVarInfo): Removed problematic errMsg
- field from structure.
- (TraceVarProc): Removed references to errMsg field and changed
- handling of errors so that they returned a Tcl_Obj* containing the
- error string. This minimizes the number of calls to the memory
- management subsystem.
- (TclTraceCommandObjCmd, TraceCommandProc): Removed references to
- errMsg field which was never used in command traces in any case.
- (Tcl_TraceObjCmd, TclTraceVariableObjCmd): Removed references to
- errMsg field and made variable traces register with
- TCL_TRACE_RESULT_OBJECT bit set.
-
- * generic/tcl.h (TCL_TRACE_RESULT_DYNAMIC,TCL_TRACE_RESULT_OBJECT):
- New constants to define how to handle the strings returned from
- trace callbacks [TIP#68]
- * generic/tclVar.c (CallTraces, Tcl_GetVar2Ex, TclGetIndexedScalar,
- TclGetElementOfIndexedArray, Tcl_SetVar2Ex, TclSetIndexedScalar,
- TclSetElementOfIndexedArray, Tcl_UnsetVar2, Tcl_ArrayObjCmd,
- TclDeleteVars, TclDeleteCompiledLocalVars, DeleteArray,

- * unix/configure: regened
- * unix/configure.in: added SC_ENABLE_LANGINFO call
- * unix/tcl.m4: made SHLIB_LD_LIBS='${LIBS}' for FreeBSD* (meyer)
- Added modified version of Wagner patch to make use of nl_langinfo
- where possible to determine Unix platform encoding, instead of the
- inflexible built-in system. This is used by default when
- possible, and can be disabled with --enable-langinfo=no.

-
- * win/makefile.vc:
- * win/tcl.dsp: winhelp target fixes for non-NT systems. It
- seems NMAKE under these remembers changed directories during
- commands. A new tcltest feature from Peter Spjuth
- <peter.spjuth@space.se> to specify a pattern file from the
- commandline and redirecting output to a file when not under
- NT with it's scrollback console. Then it replays it, piped
- through more. Added 2 new static "configurations" to tcl.dsp.
- I could keep adding more, but I think we should leave it up to
- the user for customizing it.
-
- Sticky-points left: 'profile' option.

-
-2001-11-08 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * unix/Makefile.in:
- * unix/dltest/Makefile.in:
- Avoid adding libc to the LIBS variable since it
- is not needed when linking with CC. If required
- when linking with LD it should be done on a case
- by case basis in tcl.m4.
-
-2001-11-08 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-
- * win/rules.vc:
- * win/makefile.vc: Fixed install target to adjust for the
- different build types. Added a 'linkexten' option to link the
- win extensions inside the shell when built static. Placed
- win/tclAppInit.c patch in SF patch DB for approval. 'profile'
- option not hooked in yet. Everything else know is done.
-
- * win/tcl.dsp(new):
- * win/tcl.dsw(new): Simple MsDev stub project files that calls
- makefile.vc. Will help run Tcl in the debugger easier without
- confusing MsDev for where the .pdb files are.
-
-2001-11-07 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * unix/Makefile.in:
- * win/Makefile.in:
- Print a message indicating that the user should
- run "make genstubs" when the generated tclStubInit.c
- file is out of date. We can't regenerate automatically
- since there may be no tclsh on the system and that
- would cause bootstrap problems. [Tcl bug 465874]
-
-2001-11-07 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- Define TCL_INCLUDE_SPEC in tclConfig.sh. It should be
- included by extensions that need to find Tcl include
- headers in the install location. The user can override
- the include install dir with --includedir so we need
- to record this information for extensions. [Tcl bug 421835]
-
- * unix/configure: Regen.

-
- * win/rules.vc:
- * win/makefile.vc: Dropped the NOMSVCRT macro and put it on the
- option list instead. It makes more sense to me this way as
- NOMSVCRT=0 would only be the valid setting. Fixed the dde and reg
- extension for building static. Improved, but not perfected, the
- winhelp target.
-
-2001-11-07 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * win/README: Change minimum VC++ version to 5.X since
- 4.X is known not to work.
- Indicate that Mingw is required and building with Cygwin
- gcc is not supported. Include instructions that indicate
- how to install Mingw and what URLs folks should use to
- download the supported version of Mingw.
- * win/configure: Regen.
- * win/configure.in: Error out if user tries to compile the
- Windows version of Tcl with Cygwin gcc. Users should compile
- with Mingw gcc instead.
-
-2001-11-06 Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclIO.c (ReadChars): Fixed bug #478856 reported by
- Stuart Cassoff <stwo@users.sourceforge.net>. The bug caused loss
- of fileevents when [read]ing less data from the channel than
- buffered. Due to an empty input buffer the flag
- CHANNEL_NEED_MORE_DATA was set but never reset, causing the I/O
- system to wait for more data instead of using a timer to
- synthesize fileevents and to flush the pending data out of the
- buffers.
-
-2001-11-06 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-
- * win/rules.vc (new):
- * win/makefile.vc: Complete over/under rewrite to support numerous
- build options all from the commandline itself without needing to
- edit the makefile. Now requires vcvars32.bat to be run prior to
- running nmake for bootstraping the environment. Fully doc'd usage
- for it is in makefile.vc. Commentary welcome. Sticky points left
- are:
-
- 1) winhelp target shows errors in the converting script.
- 2) .rc scripts aren't getting the right #defines to build the correct
- "OriginalFilename" strings. (have patch, won't commit yet)
- 3) Naming convention with suffixes describing the buildtype are 'tsdx'
- which will need public acceptance. ie. tclsh84tsx.exe is a (t)
- threaded shell (s) statically linked to the core and (x) uses
- msvcrt instead of libcmt.

-
- * unix/tclUnixChan.c: Added stateUpdated member to struct TtyState.
- (TtyCloseProc,TtySetOptionProc,TtyInit): Use stateUpdated member
- of TtyState to decide whether it is necessary to reset a serial

-
-2001-10-10 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-
- * win/tclWinPort.h: #include <winsock2.h> needed to get moved
- to after #include <windows.h> or wierd misunderstandings took
- place when -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0400 is set for outside code that
- requires knowledge of Tcl innards. General header macro magic
- applied liberally...

- translations now (like symbols, dingbats and japanese). Also does
- not include big5, gb or euc* as those have different formats in

- * doc/fileevent.n: Accepted [Patch #465279] adding an example to
- the fileevent manpage. Minor modifications to get a better
- formatting. Report and patch by David N. Welton
- <davidw@users.sourceforge.net>.
-
- * The changes below fix [Bug #462317] where Expect tried to read
- more than was in the buffers and then blocked in the OS call as
- its pty channel driver provides no blockmodeproc through which
- the OS could be notified of blocking-behaviour. Because of this
- the general I/O core has to take more care than usual to
- preserve the semantics of non-blocking channels.
-
- The problem was reported by "Kevin O'Gorman"
- <kevin@kosmanor.com>.
-
- * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_ReadRaw): Do not read from the driver if
- the channel is non-blocking and the fileevent causing the read
- was generated by a timer. We do not know if there is data
- available from the OS. Instead of going to the OS for more and
- potentially blocking we simply signal EWOULDBLOCK to the higher
- levels to cause the system to wait for true fileevents.
- (GetInput): Same as before.
- (ChannelTimerProc): Added set and clear of CHANNEL_TIMER_FEV.
-
- * generic/tclIO.h (CHANNEL_TIMER_FEV): New flag for channels. Is
- set if a fileevent was generated by a timer, the channel is not
- blocking and the driver did not provide a blockmodeproc. In that
- case the I/O core has to be especially careful about going to
- the driver for more data.

-
- * win/tclWinNotify.c: removed unnecessary winsock include (it is
- already in from tclWinPort.h).
-
- * win/tclWinPort.h: changed winsock.h include to winsock2.h.
- Reverses change from 2000-11-16, but is necessary for WIN64.
- Extensions should comply with defined OS words, or use #ifndef.
-
-2001-09-20 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

- * generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FormatObjCmd):

-
- * doc/socket.n: Added documentation to mention what happens when a
- server socket is created with port=0. Removed an old change bar,
- and no new change bar because Tcl has always behaved this way as
- it is really a poorly-documented standards-defined OS feature.
-
- * tests/util.test (util-8.1): Test derived from code to detect the
- problem, but the test always works in the C locale, so beware if
- you are maintaining the code.
- * generic/tclUtil.c (TclNeedSpace): Rewrote to be UTF-8 aware.
- [Bug 411825, but not that patch which would have added extra
- spaces if there was a real non-ASCII space involved. ]
-
-2001-09-18 Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

-
-2001-09-17 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
-
- * generic/tcl.h: removed forced #define USE_TCLALLOC 1 for
- Windows. This means the native system allocator will be used by
- default. This should be binary and source compatible with
- extensions, as Tcl_Alloc is a properly stubbed function.
-
-2001-09-17 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

- This is really a place where feather would have been essential.
- [Bug #461322]

- multi-process execution of the testsuite. Depending on the
- choice of the user stdout is a tty or not and thus reports
- different channel options. Fixes [460993] reported by Don

- * tests/parse.test: Deprecate the use of Tcl_EvalTokens, replaced
- by the new Tcl_EvalTokensStandard. The new function performs the
- same duties but adheres to the standard return convention for Tcl
- evaluations; the deprecated function could only return TCL_OK or
- TCL_ERROR, which caused [Bug 219384] and [Bug 455151].
- This patch implements [TIP 56].
-
-2001-09-12 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * unix/configure: Regen.
- * unix/tcl.m4: Invert the logic that checks for $GCC.
- Instead of checking for "$GCC" = "no" we check for
- "$GCC" != "yes" or simply swap the true and false
- blocks of code in an if statement. That way if
- GCC is set to "" everything will still work. [Bug 460991]

-
- * doc/OpenFileChnl.3: Added documentation for Tcl_WriteRaw and

- and Tcl_GetTopChannel [#414929].
-
- * The changes below are a fix for [219253].
-
- * tests/socket.test: Removed _most_ instances of hardwired port
- numbers for listening sockets. Remaining are the ports in all
- tests with constraint 'doTestsWithRemoteServer'. These seem to
- be designed for a more controlled environment and are usually
- skipped when running the testsuite.
-
- * tests/io.test: Removed all instances of hardwired port numbers
- for listening sockets.
-

-
- * unix/mkLinks (Tcl_FSLink): Updated to reflect 2001-08-23

- the internal platform specific stub table.
-
- * win/tclWinFile.c (TclpObjStat): Now added the call to
- 'TclWinFlushDirtyChannels' to this function. I don't know where
- my head was last thursday (2001-09-06), but the call was
- actually added to 'TclpObjChdir', i.e. the implementation of
- [cd]. Corrected this now. Thanks to Vince Darley for spotting
- this.

-
- * generic/tclInt.h:
- * generic/tclFCmd.c:
- * doc/FileSystem.3:
- * generic/tclIOUtil.c: removed Tcl_FSCopyFile fallback
- to channel copying, since the channels will not have
- access to interpreters and the channel copying currently
- requires an interp. Code which required cross-platform
- copies always has interpreters, so that solves the problem.
- Fixes bug in TclKit.

-2001-09-07 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-
- * win/tcl.m4: Added -link50compat option so a VC6 linker makes

-2001-09-07 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * win/tclWinThrd.c (TclpThreadExit): Cast status argument to

- function prototype.
-
-2001-09-06 Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * All the changes below serve to fix bug [219148] which reports a
- 80x performance hit for file I/O on Win* systems. 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.

-
- * 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). RFC
- iso8859-1 is used by default. Also recognize Content-encoding to
- see if we should do binary translation. Added a CYA -binary
- switch for the cases that were missed. [Bug #219211 #219399]
-
- * tests/ioUtil.test: changed to make better use of constraints and
- remove knownBug constraints that weren't valid.

-2001-09-06 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-3.2): Updated test to support

-2001-09-06 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclTest.c: tests of old-fs hooks no longer cause problems
- in threaded builds. Also removed unused unload proc.
- * generic/tcl.decls:
- * generic/tclIOUtilc: added Tcl_FSMountsChanged so that a vfs
- can inform the filesystem that the filesystem epoch must be
- changed (since cached filesystems may now be incorrect). Fixes
- problem running tclvfs extension.
- * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: if tests aren't in a native
- filesystem, then don't use pipes to run them. [Bug 458741]
-
-2001-09-06 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
-
- * generic/tcl.decls (479 generic):
- * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Seek,Tcl_Tell,Tcl_OutputBuffered): Added
- public function to return the size of the output buffer and
- reworked other channel functions to use this shared functionality
- and that of Tcl_InputBuffered() too. [TIP#49, Rolf Schroedter]
-
-2001-09-05 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-
- * generic/tclPlatDecls.h: Another small trim finalizing Borland
- support.
-
- * win/tclWinPipe.c:
- * win/tclWinPort.h: More Borland compatibility fixes. Changed
- EDQUOT #define from 49 to 69. Borland had a clash as it was already
- using this number. Upon advice from Helmut Giese, EDQUOT has been
- found in other header files #defined as 69.
- [Patch: 436116]
-
- * win/.cvsignore: A few more glob patterns added.
-
- * win/makefile.bc (new): Borland lives once more! rejoice..

- * tests/winFCmd.test: made notWin2000 constraint false if not
- running on Windows at all.
-
-2001-09-04 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-
- * win/tclWinThrd.c: Revisited _beginthreadex() stuff. Instead
- of assuming a c-runtime implimentation of _beginthreadex normal,
- I reversed the logic to not assume, and use when is by explicitly
- needing to add runtimes that support it such as Borland.
-
- * generic/tcl.h:
- * generic/tclPlatDecls.h: Borland compatibility change so
- ClientData was properly typed as a void* and TCHAR would not be
- defined twice.
-
- * generic/tcl.h: Removed a small mistake from before. Changes to
- the EXTERN macro for proper Borland compatibility will have to see
- a TIP. What's this with the MS compiler:
-
- __declspec(dllexport) int func (int a, int b);
-
- will have to be this with Borland:
-
- int __cdecl __export func (int a, int b);
-
- The order of the attribute needs to be after the return type.

-2001-09-04 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
-

-
-2001-09-04 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- Minor bug fixes in filesystem, plus small vfs changes as a
- result of enabling the test filesystem to work properly.
- * tests/fileName.test: ensure new test cleans up after itself
- * doc/filename.n:
- * generic/tclFileName.c: improved Mac path handling and document
- why [Bug: 421842] on Windows handling of UNC paths is not valid.
- Documentation and code now much clearer on what is and is not a
- UNC path.
- * doc/FileSystem.3:
- * unix/tclUnixPipe.c:
- * generic/tclFCmd.c:
- * generic/tclIOUtil.c: fixed error message, fixed [Bug: 453512]
- about dangerous use of tmpnam, replaced with mkstemp.
- Documented all the changes.
- * generic/tclTest.c: made test vfs fully functional as a
- 'reporting filesystem'.
- * generic/tcl.stubs:
- * generic/tcl.h:
- * generic/tclInt.h:
- * generic/tclIOUtil.c:
- * doc/file.n:
- * various platform-specific 'TclpLoadFile': fixed comments about
- unload behaviour, and completed objectification of loading.
- Required change to Tcl_Filesystem lookup table, so incompatible
- with 8.4a3, but not older versions of Tcl. The change also
- allows 'link' and 'reporting' filesystems to function correctly
- when loading files. Implementation of 'file delete -force'
- copes with case where cwd is inside the directory. Moved
- overlooked Tcl_FSGetPathType from internal to external API.
- Made sure filesystems which are registered and then unregistered
- are only freed when all references to them are gone.
- Documented changes.
- * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: when deleting directories recursively,
- make sure permissions are ok. Together with the above, this
- fixes [Bug: 219139]
- * tests/winFCmd.test: differentiated test results for win2k
- versus not. This fixes [Bug: 219239]
- * tests/fCmd.test: added tests for 'file delete -force' where
- the cwd is inside, and when permissions are inadequate.

-
-2001-09-02 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-
- * win/tclWinThrd.c: Portability fix for Cygwin who's c-runtime,
- not surprisingly, doesn't have the MSVCRT specific _beginthreadex /
- _endthreadex pair. This might have to be revisited for proper
- Borland, lcc32, Watcom and other support as well.
- [Patch: 444255]
-
- * win/tclWinThrd.c: Moved FinalizeConditionEvent() proto to within
- the main #ifdef TCL_THREADS block to avoid mingw warning about it
- being there but unused.
-
- * win/makefile.vc: Added -Zl (zee el) to tclStubLib.c compile line
- to make sure the tclstub84.lib static library is built without
- requiring a specific C-runtime library at link-time for the end-use
- developer. It has been noted on c.l.t that this trips many first
- time users trying to make extensions.
- [Patch: 403533]
-
-2001-08-31 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
-
- * generic/tclInt.h: added TclCompileListCmd header
- * generic/tclBasic.c: added TclCompileListCmd compile proc
- * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileListCmd): function to compile
- the 'list' command at parse time.
- * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): definition of
- INST_LIST bytecode.
-
- * doc/StringObj.3: added words of warning to use Tcl_ResetResult
- with the Tcl_Append* functions.
-
- * tests/compile.test: added compile-11.* interp result checks
- * generic/tclUtil.c (TclGetIntForIndex): added Tcl_ResetResult
- before Tcl_AppendStringsToObj to prevent shared object crash when
- called from bcc instruction. The Tcl_Append* calls that append to
- the result object that are invoked by bcc insts must remember to
- call Tcl_ResetResult because the bcc doesn't do this for us.

-
-2001-08-30 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclExecute.c: allow cached fully-qualified command names
- to be usable from different namespaces within the same interpreter
- without forcing a new lookup. This speeds up scripts that pass
- command names in variables ("this" in some OO packages).
- [Patch 456668].

-2001-08-30 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- Further fs updates. 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. Also improved
- some documentation, and improved default path joining behaviour
- for virtual filesystems, especially regarding '~'.
- * tests/fileName.test: added tests to check for bugs fixed above.
- * doc/FileName.3: improved documentation
-

-
- * generic/tclAsync.c:
- * generic/tclEvent.c:
- * generic/tclInt.h: Improper cleanup of asyncMutex in tclAsync.c
- repaired. TclFinalizeSynchronization() was trying to remove a
- registered mutex that was dumped earlier when the TSD it was stored
- in was cleared. This was only surfacing on *nix. Windows was being
- masked by mutexes not actually being returned to the system! That
- was repaired in a previous patch. Needed to add a private
- TclFinalizeAsync() to tclAsync.c and called from Tcl_FinalizeThread().
- Pheww.. Is this done yet?

- * tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.{1,9}):
- * unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):

-
-2001-08-24 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
-
- * tests/stringComp.test: added string-1.3
- * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileStringCmd): changed to return
- TCL_OUT_LINE_COMPILE instead of TCL_ERROR when compiling and an
- unknown string method is called. This is necessary as the string
- command may be never called, or not until 'string' is redefined.

-
-2001-08-23 Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Fixed tcl Bug
- [432499]. Part of the code used the non-absolute path to the
- executable to determine quoting. This failed if the absolute
- path contained spaces, but the application name itself not. This
- bug caused no trouble on Win NT 5, but does for other variants
- in the Win* family. Report and fix due to Ken Poole
- <kenpoole@users.sourceforge.net>.

-
- Variety of small filesystem and vfs issues fixed or improved.
- The new fs code allows many new opportunities for efficiency
- improvements through the objectified API. 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.

- * generic/tclBinary.c (FormatNumber): Extract a long from the

- * tools/tcl.wse.in:
- * tools/tcl.hpj.in:
- * win/tcl.hpj.in: Removed -kb storage in CVS to ensure these text
- files are checked-out in the translation mode CVS is in. Setting
- these as binary as part of an effort to make sure they are always
- in CRLF, no matter what the CVS translation, is bypassing how CVS
- works and is confusing.
-
- * tools/genStubs.tcl: Removed LF-only output. Having to reconvert
- back to CRLF before committing to CVS was giving me a headache.
- [Bug: 451333]

- * win/README.binary: updated for 8.4a3 release
-
- * generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_FSSplitPath): update to Tcl style

- * win/configure: regenerated
- * win/tcl.m4: fixed DLLSUFFIX definition to always be ${DBGX}.dll.
- This is necessary for TEA compliant builds that build shared
- against a static-built Tcl.
- * win/Makefile.in ($(TCLSH)): added $(TCL_STUB_LIB_FILE) to build

-
-2001-08-06 Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_GetsObjCmd): Applied patch from SF item
- [442665] to fix the bug reported by it. The function can corrupt
- a freed object if it is called with objc == 3. This is because
- it retrieves resultPtr and does not increment its reference
- count, but then calls Tcl_ObjSetVar2, which causes the retrieved
- resultPtr object to be released.
-
-2001-08-06 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

-
-2001-07-18 Mo DeJong <mdejong@redhat.com>
-
- * generic/tclPlatDecls.h: Define TCHAR by including
- windows.h instead of tchar.h since Cygwin does not
- support the tchar.h header. Include CHECK_UNICODE_CALLS
- logic from tclWinPort.h.
- * win/tclWinPort.h: Remove CHECK_UNICODE_CALLS logic.
- Remove include of windows.h since this now done it
- tclPlatDecls.h.
- * win/tclWinReg.c: Remove duplicate include of windows.h.
-
-2001-07-18 Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclIO.c: Aftermath to [SF #427196]. Squash empty buffers
- if they are smaller than the requested buffersize, to prevent
- reusage of old buffers and to honor changes in the requested
- buffersize made by the user.
-
-2001-07-17 Mo DeJong <mdejong@redhat.com>
-
- * win/tclWinFile.c (TclpReadlink): Add Cygwin specific definition
- for the TclpReadlink function. This method implements reading of
- symbolic links when build with Cygwin.
-
-2001-07-17 Mo DeJong <mdejong@redhat.com>
-
- * win/tclWinPort.h: Add Cygwin specific defines for environ
- and timezone variables.
-
-2001-07-17 Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclIO.c (GetInput): Fixed [SF #427196]. Memory was
- overwritten because a buffer was used after a change of the
- requested buffersize together with that requested buffersize and
- not its actual size, which was smaller. Note that the continous
- reuse of the smaller buffer negatively impacts performance. The
- system never allocates a buffer with the newly requested bigger
- buffersize.
-
-2001-07-16 Mo DeJong <mdejong@redhat.com>
-
- * generic/tcl.h: Define __WIN32__ when
- __CYGWIN__ or __MINGW32__ is defined.
- * generic/tclAlloc.c: Define caddr_t when

- already defined when compiling with Cygwin.

-
- * win/tclWinConsole.c:
- * win/tclWinPipe.c:
- * win/tclWinPort.h:
- * win/tclWinSerial.c:
- * win/tclWinThrd.c:
- Remove unnecessary #includes of dos.h, direct.h,
- and tchar.h. This will help the Cygwin porting
- effort since these headers do not exist under Cygwin.
-
-2001-07-16 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
-
- * win/tclWinPipe.c (PipeClose2Proc): constrained the mutex lock to
- just the TerminateThread call and waiting for termination. (jsmith)
-
- * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Removed extra copy of the SCAN_* macros
- #defined in generic/tclScan.c. (porter) [Bug 441230]
-
-2001-07-12 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
-
- * tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.8): Added extra constraint,
- notInstalledInTmp, to stop this test from damaging installations
- in /tmp; not much fun to have to reinstall the Tcl library every
- time you run the test suite!
-
- * tests/subst.test (subst-10.*): Updated tests to check new
- behaviour for 'break' in command substitutions.
- (subst-1.2,subst-7.1): Error messages changed.
- * doc/SubstObj.3: New file, to document Tcl_SubstObj.
- * doc/subst.n: Improved and updated documentation for 'subst' to
- help support the changed behaviour.
- * generic/tcl.decls (generic-437): Declaration for Tcl_SubstObj
- * generic/tcl.h (TCL_SUBST_*): Added flags for Tcl_SubstObj.
- * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SubstObj,Tcl_SubstObjCmd): Divided into
- two parts to allow people to access the innards of 'subst' and
- changed the behaviour when command substitutions do a 'break' to
- be different from 'continue'. Also now works with objects, which
- allows for some nifty optimisations with variable substitutions
- and a slight improvement with command substitutions. [TIP#36]
-
-2001-07-10 Mo DeJong <mdejong@redhat.com>
-
- * unix/Makefile.in: Add AR variable for use in STLIB_LD.
- * unix/configure: Regen.
- * unix/configure.in: Use STLIB_LD when defining MAKE_LIB
- and MAKE_STUB_LIB. Subst RANLIB and AR.
- * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Add doc comment about
- STLIB_LD command. Check ${AR} env var when setting
- STLIB_LD and delay evaluation until make time.
- * win/configure: Regen.
- * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Delay evaluation of
- ${AR} in STLIB_LD and add flags to better match the
- Unix implementation. Don't bother defining AR when
- using VC++ since it is not used.
-
-2001-07-06 Mo DeJong <mdejong@redhat.com>
-
- * win/configure: Regen.
- * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Pass -e _WinMain@16 in
- addition to the -mwindows flag to work around a problem
- with ld when it incorrectly use main() as the executable
- entry point when both WinMain() and main() are available.
-
-2001-07-06 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
-
- * tests/cmdAH.test: Added leading zero to file modes to work
- around fault in HPUX strtol() which ignores the base parameter
- [Bug #438808]
-
-2001-07-05 Mo DeJong <mdejong@redhat.com>
-
- * win/Makefile.in: Subst DEPARG directly instead
- of relying on a variable. This will make Cygwin
- builds faster since an extra exec will be avoided.
- * win/configure: Regen.
- * win/configure.in: Subst DEPARG.
- * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Move AC_MSG_CHECKING
- after the AC_CHECK_PROG so that status messages do
- not get mixed together. Set DEPARG based on the
- results of the cygpath check so that we avoid using
- an extra exec when it is not needed. Use ac_cv_cygwin
- status flag instead of looking at the output of
- gcc -v, which works in the case where -mno-cygwin is
- set in the CFLAGS.

- * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Remove PATHTYPE
- variable. Set CYGPATH to "cygpath -w" if the
- cygpath executable is found on the path. This
- approach works for native Cygwin builds and
- cross compiles.
-
-2001-07-03 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
-
- * tests/var.test:
- * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_VariableObjCmd): added patch to check for
- number of args. [Patch #426038]
-
- * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_GetVar2Ex): added ability to recognize
- TCL_TRACE_READS flags to cause creation of part1 in TclLookupVar
- to make sure newly created array will get read traces triggered
- appropriately. This is called by Tcl_ObjGetVar2, Tcl_GetVar, and
- Tcl_GetVar2.
- (TclSetIndexedScalar, TclSetElementOfIndexedArray): added read
- trace triggering for lappend case.
- (Tcl_LappendObjCmd): pass TCL_TRACE_READS to Tcl_ObjGetVar2 to
- trigger possible read traces for new arrays.
-
- * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): added TCL_TRACE_READS
- flag to INST_LAPPEND(_ARRAY)_STK case to trigger read traces for
- newly created arrays. Removed unnecessary #ifdef for
- TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG in INST_LOAD_SCALAR1 case.
-
- * tests/append.test:
- * tests/appendComp.test: added tests for read trace triggering for
- append and lappend.

- to the directories it does, and checks to avoid destroying other
- files in /tmp.
-
-2001-07-03 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
-
- * tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-1.2): Fixed faults reported in
- Bug#438070 - well, at least enough to work on Solaris - and added
- comments that should make what is going on in the test clearer.

-
-2001-06-27 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
-
- * generic/tclInt.h:
- * generic/tclObj.c:
- * unix/Makefile.in: added a -DPURIFY mode that makes Tcl_Obj's

- * win/configure:
- * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Don't set LDFLAGS_DEBUG
- to -g or LDFLAGS_OPTIMIZE to -O when compiling with gcc.
- These flags are not needed and can cause problems with
- the Cygwin version of ld.
-
-2001-06-18 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
-
- * tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-1.2,unixInit-2.8): Added test for
- code described below, and fixed a couple of errors that caused
- problems during testing; the code to determine the installedTcl
- constraint was wrong, and test unixInit-2.8 assumed that /tmp/lib
- was free for use and could be deleted, which clashed nastily with
- my installation and made other tests fail unnecessarily!
-
- * unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtyInit,TclpOpenFileChannel,
- Tcl_MakeFileChannel,TclpGetDefaultStdChannel): Alterations so that
- the standard channels - stdin, stdout and stderr - have the
- correct type and fconfigure options. This required making the
- initialisation of serial lines a little more sophisticated to
- make the console behave correctly in interactive mode... [Bug
- #219137 and duplicates]

- for setting a platform-specific panic handler. TclpPanic
- is NULL on Unix and Windows. Fixes broken wish on Mac due

- * mac/tclMacPanic.c: Modified special Mac implementations of
- Tcl_*Panic* to be exact copies of the generic implementations.
- Added TclMacSetPanic. The generic implementations should be

-
- * tests/io.test: Added tests 'io-52.9', 'io-52.10' and 'io-52.11'
- to test the handling of encodings by 'fcopy' / 'TclCopychannel'
- [Bug #209210].
-
- * generic/tclIO.c: Split of both 'Tcl_ReadChars' and
- 'Tcl_WriteChars' into a public error checking and an internal
- working part. The public functions now use the new internal
- ones. The new functions are 'DoReadChars' and 'DoWriteChars'.
- Extended 'CopyData' to use the new functions 'DoXChars' when
- required by the encodings on the input and output channels
- [Bug #209210].

- lappend, lindex and llength. Refactored set and incr compile
- commands to use new TclPushVarName function for handling the
- varname component during compilation (also used by append and
- lappend). Changed string compile command to compile toplevel code
- as well (when possible).
- * generic/tclCompile.c: added new instruction enums
- * generic/tclCompile.h: added debug info for new instructions
- * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): moved elemPtr to

- Refactored repititious code for reuse with INST_LOAD_STK (same as
- INST_LOAD_SCALAR_STK), INST_STORE_STK (same as
- INST_STORE_SCALAR_STK).
- Updated INST_STR_CMP with style of fix of 2001-04-06 Fellows
- [Bug #219201] as that fix only affected the runtime eval'ed
- "string" (string compare is normally byte-compiled now). We
- may want to back these out for speed in the future, noting the
- problems with \x00 comparisons in the docs.
- * generic/tclInt.h: declarations for new compile commands.
- * generic/tclVar.c: change TclGetIndexedScalar,
- TclGetElementOfIndexedArray, TclSetElementOfIndexedArray and

- part of Tk, but given the location of the source, the
- documentation must obviously match up...

-
- * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd):
- * tests/string.test (string-4.14): Negative string indices should

-2001-05-03 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclParse.c:

- * All of the changes below belong to TIP #10 [Tcl I/O Enhancement:
- Thread-Aware Channels]. See also [Patch #403358] at SF.
-
- * generic/tclIO.h (struct ChannelState, line 236f): Extended the

-
- Note: This structure is shared by all channels in a stack of
- transformations.

- * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_CreateChannel, lines 1058-1065): Modified
- to store the Id of the current thread in the 'ChannelState' of
- the new channel.
-
- * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_SpliceChannel, lines 2265-2270): Modified
- in the same manner as 'Tcl_CreateChannel' as the channel will be
- managed by the current thread afterward.
-
- * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_GetChannelThread, lines 1478-1503):
- * generic/tcl.decls (Tcl_GetChannelThread, lines 1504-1506): New

-
-2001-03-29 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
-
- * doc/lsort.n: Added some notes that clarify the behaviour of

-
-2001-03-27 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@gimlet.activestate.com>
-
- * doc/Alloc.3: corrected docs to note that Tcl_Attempt* return
- char *'s, not ints. [Bug #411388]
-
- * tests/regexp.test (regexp-19.1):
- * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): fixed handling of nulls
- in subspec value.
-
-2001-03-26 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclDecls.h (Tcl_InitCustomHashTable): Correction to
- patch from 2001-01-18; tclDecls.h was not generated using
- 'make genstubs'.
-
-2001-03-26 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
-
- * win/tclWinInt.h (tclWinTCharEncoding): Removed as now a static

-2001-03-15 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
-
- * tests/set-old.test (set-old-7.2): Changed error behaviour of
- [unset] to agree with documentation, so must change test as well.
-
-2001-03-14 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * library/package.tcl (pkg_mkIndex): Added patch from Vince
- Darley to make [pkg_mkIndex -verbose] even more verbose.

-
-2001-03-13 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
-
- * doc/info.n: Improved documentation for [info hostname].
- [Bug #403840]
-
- * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_UnsetObjCmd): Made command behave as
- documented [issue remaining from bug #405769]
-
- * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): A missing
- {return TCL_OK;} was causing memory corruption. [Bug #408002]
-
- * generic/tclExecute.c (TclDeleteExecEnv, GrowEvaluationStack,
- TclExecuteByteCode): Added some casts to ClientData that are
- apparently needed on some architectures.
-
-2001-03-12 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
-
- * tests/string.test: Fixed some test numberings and added a test.
- [Patch #403229]
-
-2001-03-06 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
-
- * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_UnsetObjCmd): Rewrote argument parser to
- avoid a read off the end of the argument array that could occur
- when executing something like [unset -nocomplain] was executed.
- Improved the error message given when too few arguments are given
- (-nocomplain should obviously be *before* --, not after it) and
- also modified the test suite to take account of that and the
- documentation to use the same improvement. [Bug 405769]
-
-2001-03-02 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
-
- * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Fixed bug that could
- pass pointers to freed memory to command implementations, which
- most obviously caused some weird behaviour with [info level], but
- could have caused problems with user code and command traces too.
- [Bug 404865, Patch 405436]
-
-2001-02-23 msofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
- * no changes; fixing up the missing comment in the previous one.
- Sorry.
-
-2001-02-23 msofer <msofer@ant.utdt>
-
- * /cvsroot/tcl/tcl/tests/execute.test:
- added test for evaluation of an expression in a variable; evals once
- by compiling, second time using the previous compilation
-
-2001-02-18 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
-
- * doc/clock.n: Updated documentation to reflect the addition of
- compat/strftime.c, including the correct formatting of
- ISO-8601:1988 fiscal week number (%V).
-
-2001-02-15 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
-
- * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SplitObjCmd): Improved efficiency of
- splitting strings into individual characters by adding hash so
- that only one Tcl_Obj per character is created. Improves
- performance of splitting of short strings and makes a huge
- difference to splitting of long strings, such as is done in the
- mime package in tcllib. [Bug #131523]
-
-2001-01-31 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * win/makefile.vc (install-libraries): Corrected misdirected
- install directory for the msgcat 1.2 package.
-
-2001-01-30 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclIO.c (CopyData): Moved code that updates the count
- of how many bytes are left to copy. Corrects bug that when
- writing occurs in the background, the copy loop could be
- escaped without updating the count, causing CopyData() to try
- to copy more bytes than the toRead value originally passed to
- TclCopyChannel(), leading to hangs and misreporting of number
- of bytes copied. [Bug 118203, Patch 103432]
-
-2001-01-18 Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com>
-
- * Everything below belongs together, it fixes bug #123153.
-
- * generic/tcl.h (line 342): A bit more explanation about the
- default value for TCL_PRESERVE_BINARY_COMPATABILITY.
-
- * generic/tcl.h (line 1208): Define the macro 'Tcl_InitHashTable'
- only when TCL_PRESERVE_BINARY_COMPATIBILITY is not set
- as it kills binary compatibility to 8.3 and earlier
- versions. This is the main part of the patch/change.
-
- * generic/tcl.decls (line 1469):
- * generic/tclHash.c (Tcl_InitHashTable):
- * generic/tclHash.c (Tcl_InitHashTableEx):
- * generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_InitObjHashTable): Changed
- 'Tcl_InitHashTableEx' to 'Tcl_InitCustomHashTable'. This change
- is more of an estethical nature, replacing the ubiquitous 'Ex'
- suffix with a more meaningful name. The introduced binary
- incompatibility is deemed acceptable as it is between alpha
- versions. Updated callers.
-
- * doc/Hash.3:
- * unix/mkLinks: Changed 'Tcl_InitHashTableEx' to
- 'Tcl_InitCustomHashTable'.
-
-2001-01-10 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
-
- * tests/winPipe.test (winpipe-1.20):
- * tests/winDde.test (createChildProcess):
- * tests/pkgMkIndex.test (pkgtest::createIndex): Removed
- assumption that paths contain no spaces which causes problems with
- both [eval] and [open |...] due to the well-known differences
- between lists and strings. Fixes bug #119406
-
-2001-01-04 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * tests/unixInit.test:
- * unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):
- * win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): Several entries in
- the library path ($tcl_libPath) are determined relative to the
- absolute path of the executable. When the executable is
- installed in or near the root directory of the file system,
- relative pathnames were being incorrectly generated, and in
- the worst case, memory access violations were crashing the program.
- [Bug 119416, Patch 102972]
