Added tests that detect the bug. + The rewrite changes the seed -> sequence map on 64-bit + platforms, only for seed >= 2^31, a slight incompatibility. + [Bug 121072, Patch 102781] + +2000-12-10 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net> + + * library/init.tcl: + * library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl: + * library/msgcat/pkgIndex.tcl: + * library/opt/optparse.tcl: + * library/opt/pkgIndex.tcl: Where [uplevel] is used in a proc + to evaluate a Tcl built-in command in the caller's context, + the built-in commands are now fully namespace-qualified. This + prevents problems when the caller context is in a namespace where + the built-in command name has been used by a command in the + namespace. (For example, [::ns::set] might be called instead + of the intended [::set]). [Bug #119422, Patch #102545] + +2000-12-09 jeff hobbs <jhobbs@interwoven.com> + + * win/tclWinTime.c (CalibrationThread): added lint return value to + prevent compiler warning. [Bug #125005] + + * docs/scan.n: + * tests/scan.test: + * generic/tclScan.c (Tcl_ScanObjCmd): changed %o and %x to use + strtoul instead of strtol to correctly preserve scan<>format + conversion of large integers. [Patch #102663, Bug #124600] + + * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Commited patch fixing + handling of {!<boolean>} in expressions. [Patch #102702] + +2000-12-08 jeff hobbs <jhobbs@interwoven.com> + + * library/init.tcl: Added support for PATHEXT variable in + auto_execok, recognizing the proper set of executable extensions + on Windows. [Patch #102719] + +2000-12-08 Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com> + + * generic/tclEncoding.c (LoadTableEncoding): Changed dangerous + code to something less critical. This fixes bug 119417, part A + without affecting the speed when loading encodings. + +2000-12-08 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk> + + * doc/open.n: Added xref to fconfigure and advice on the opening + of binary files. Should help prevent a recurrence of bugs like + #124558 + +2000-12-07 jeff hobbs <jhobbs@interwoven.com> + + * generic/tcl.h: added note about need to updated + library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl with minor version increment. + + * library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl: updated to use 84 version to reflect + the makefile. Should probably be updated to use its real version + at some point. [Patch #102560, Bug #119421] + +2000-12-06 eric melski <ericm@ajubasolutions.com> + + * generic/tcl.h (attemptckalloc): Fixed typo for #define of + attemptckalloc (was defined to Tcl_AttempDbCkalloc, should have + been Tcl_AttemptDbCkalloc). [Bug: 124384] + + * generic/tclCkalloc.c: Added + TCL_MEM_DEBUG versions of Tcl_AttemptDbCkrealloc and + Tcl_AttemptDbCkalloc. [Bug: 124384]. + +2000-11-24 Donal K.

Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk> + + * generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd): Fixed memory leak from Bug + #119398 + + * library/init.tcl (unknown): Added specific level parameters to + all uplevel invokations to boost performance; didn't dare touch + the "namespace inscope" stuff though, since it looks sensitive + to me! Should fix Bug #123217, though testing is tricky... + +2000-11-21 Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com> + + * All of the changes below are described in TIP #7 ~ Specification + and result from the application of the patch contained + therein. Creator of the patch is Kevin Kenny + <kennykb@crd.ge.com>. The patch used here is actually a bit + different. Two MS specific constant values (format FOOui64) were + replaced with a more portable formatting of the values and an + additional cast to LONGLONG. My cross-compiling gcc was unable to + process the original form. The SF Id of the patch is 102459. + + * tclWinTime.c: Add to the static data a set of variables that + manage the phase-locked techniques, including a + ''CRITICAL_SECTION'' to guard them so that multi-threaded code + is stable. + + * tclWinTime.c: Modify ''TclpGetSeconds'' to call ''TclpGetTime'' + and return the 'seconds' portion of the result. This change is + necessary to make sure that the two times are consistent near + the rollover from one second to another. + + * tclWinTime.c: Modify ''TclpGetClicks'' to use TclpGetTime to + determine the click count as a number of microseconds. + + * tclWinTime.c: Modify ''TclpGetTime'' to return the time as + M*Q+B, where Q is the result of ''QueryPerformanceCounter'', and + M and B are variables maintained by the phase-locked loop to + keep the result as close as possible to the system clock. The + ''TclpGetTime'' call will also launch the phase-lock management + in a separate thread the first time that it is invoked. If the + performance counter is unavailable, or if its frequency is not + one of the two common 8254-compatible rates, then + ''TclpGetTime'' will return the result of ''ftime'' as it does + in Tcl 8.3.2. + + * tclWinTime.c: Add the clock calibration procedure. The + calibration is somewhat complex; to save space, the reader is + referred to the reference implementation for the details of how + the time base and frequency are maintained. + + * tclWinNotify.c: Modify ''Tcl_Sleep'' to test that the process + has, in fact, slept for the requisite time by calling + ''TclpGetTime'' and comparing with the desired time. Otherwise, + roundoff errors may cause the process to awaken early. + + * tclWinTest.c: Add a ''testwinclock'' command. This command + returns a four element list comprising the seconds and + microseconds portions of the system clock and the seconds and + microseconds portions of the Tcl clock. + + * winTime.test: Add to the test suite a test that makes sure that + the Tcl clock stays within 1.1 ms of the system clock over the + duration of the test. + +2000-11-21 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk> + + * doc/global.n: + * doc/upvar.n: + * doc/variable.n: Improved documentation to mention that variables + so created are listed in [info locals] and added a few more + cross-links between these commands. Fixes bug #119387 + +2000-11-17 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk> + + * tests/safe.test: (safe-4.3): + * generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupVar): Changed again. Now passes all + the tests, though one needed modifying since it required the + wrong answer. (Why on earth do we have inline modification of + argument strings? This sort of thing is horrendous to debug and + doesn't work well in a multithreaded environment!) Fixes bug + 119192. + + * tests/var.test: (var-1.19) If my attempts to fix the problem + aren't right yet, my attempts to describe it look pretty good to + me... + +2000-11-16 Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com> + + * win/tclWinPort.h (line 69): Changed reference to winsock2.h into + winsock.h. This was a leftover from a foray into using winsock + version 2 (History lesson from Scott Redman and Jeff + Hobbs). This code was no problem when compiling Tcl itself, but + could trip extensions. Fixes bug 122568. + +2000-11-15 jeff hobbs <jeff.hobbs@acm.org> + + * unix/Makefile.in: removed bp.c references (hasn't existed in a + long time). Corrected 'make dist' to make dist with unversioned + library directories (same as out of cvs), so make install works + correctly with either source tree. + +2000-11-15 jeff hobbs <jeff.hobbs@acm.org> + + * generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupVar): reverted fix below as it broke + all other array unset error reporting. Bug-119192 is still + open. + +2000-11-15 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk> + + * generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupVar): Changed references to part2 to + use elName instead in various error message generating spots, so + as to fix Bug-119192. + +2000-11-03 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com> + + * win/.cvsignore: Removed 'configure' from the glob list now + that it's included. + +2000-11-03 Jeff Hobbs <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com> + + 8.4a2 RELEASE + + * unix/Makefile.in (install-libraries, dist): + * win/makefile.vc (install-libraries): + * win/Makefile.in (install-libraries): updated to install + unversioned library directories into versioned directories. + + * tools/tcl.wse.in: updated for unversioning of library dirs + + * unix/mkLinks: updated mkLinks with latest doc updates + + * doc/Tcl_Main.3: added docs for Tcl_SetMainLoop + + * generic/tclStubInit.c: + * generic/tclDecls.h: + * generic/tcl.decls: added Tcl_SetMainLoop proc that allows people + to set a main loop that will run for tclsh. + * generic/tcl.h: added Tcl_MainLoopProc typedef + * generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_SetMainLoop, StdinProc, Prompt): new + StdinProc and Prompt static procs and Tcl_SetMainLoop stubs proc. + The first two handle a fileevent based prompt (taken from + tkMain.c). Tcl_SetMainLoop enables the interactive setting of a + main loop procedure. This enables Tk to be a loadable package. + +2000-11-02 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com> + + * generic/tclEvent.c: tclLibraryPath Tcl_Obj didn't have a way + to share its data among threads. This caused Tcl_Init() to + always fail in threads. Added a way to pass the data around + with a global char*. [BUG: 5301] + +2000-11-02 Jeff Hobbs <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com> + + * unix/configure: + * unix/dltest/configure: + * win/configure: + * tools/configure: checked in configure scripts so people doing + CVS checkouts aren't required to have autoconf. Changes to + configure.in in the future will require the corresponding + configure script to also be re-autoconf'ed and checked in. + + * win/makefile.vc: + * win/tcl.m4: makefile fixes for Win64 support + + * generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct): minor cast + changes. + +2000-11-01 Jeff Hobbs <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com> + + * unix/tcl.m4: removed use of -lbsd and -ldl for AIX-5. + + * tests/subst.test: added tests for non-zero return code handling + by subst. + * generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_EvalEx): corrected handling of non-zero, + non-error return code cases for subst. [BUG: 119829] + + * generic/tclVar.c (TclVarTraceExists): Corrected excessive mem + use when info exists was called on a non-existent array element. + [BUG: 119213, 119336] + +2000-10-30 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com> + + * win/configure.in: + * win/Makefile.in: + * win/makefile.vc: + * win/tcl.rc: + * win/tclsh.rc: Added logic to derive filenames better in the resource + scripts based on compile options. + +2000-10-30 Jeff Hobbs <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com> + + * unix/tclUnixInit.c: added default encoding map from + "ja_JP.eucJP" to "euc-jp". (takahashi) + + * tests/clock.test: corrected clock-2.* test numbering + + * unix/configure.in (SC_TCL_LINK_LIBS): removed code that was + commented out (it had been moved to tcl.m4's SC_TCL_LINK_LIBS + already). + + * unix/tcl.m4: consolidated gettimeofday check for AIX. + +2000-10-27 Jeff Hobbs <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com> + + * unix/configure.in: + * unix/tcl.m4: added support for AIX-5. + + * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_NotifyChannel): removed #ifdef around code + for old channel structures, placed preserve/release around statePtr + * generic/tclIO.c (CloseChannel): the statePtr for a channel was + not being freed when the last channel in a stack was freed, + causing a mem leak. + + * unix/tclUnixChan.c: updated channel types to strict + TCL_CHANNEL_VERSION_2 style to avoid compiler warnings. They work + either way, but this avoids compiler warnings (that worries people). + +2000-10-27 Jennifer Hom <jenn@ajubasolutions.com> + + * library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Removed a cd into the test + directory in runAllTests that screwed up the temporary directory + setting, effectively preventing users from running tests on + multiple platforms at the same time. + +2000-10-26 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com> + + * win/tclWinFile.c (TclpMatchFilesTypes): NULL was being set to + "attr" which was a DWORD. Changed NULL to zero because a 'void *' + can't be set to a DWORD to avoid the compiler warning. + +2000-10-24 Jennifer Hom <jenn@ajubasolutions.com> + + * tests/all.tcl: Removed support for tcltest 1.0. + + * tests/tcltest.test: + * library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: + * library/tcltest1.0/pkgIndex.tcl: + * docs/tcltest.n: Moved tcltest2 code so that it's the standard + version of tcltest. Removed all tcltest2 files + (tests/tcltest2.test, library/tcltest1.0/tcltest2.tcl, + docs/tcltest2.n). + +2000-10-20 Jeff Hobbs <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com> + + * win/tclWinFile.c (TclpMatchFilesTypes): made the stat call only + occur when necessary (for 'glob' command). Significantly speeds + up glob command from 8.3. [BUG: 6216] + +2000-10-19 Jennifer Hom <jenn@ajubasolutions.com> + + * library/tcltest1.0/tcltest2.tcl: + * tests/tcltest2 + * doc/tcltest2.n: Code and documentation cleanup. Modified + -verbose to take list of keywords as well as string of letters. + Removed Tcl version information from tcltest. Removed + tcltest::grep from tcltest package. Added optional 3rd directory + argument to makeFile/makeDirectory and removeFile/removeDirectory. + + * tests/basic.test: Changed references to tcltest::tclVersion to + hardcoded numbers. + * generic/tcl.h: Changed reference to tcltest2.tcl and tcltest.tcl + in comments to tests/basic.test. + +2000-10-06 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com> + + * win/tclWinChan.c: moved Win2K bug case test with GetStdHandle() + from TclpGetDefaultStdChannel into Tcl_MakeFileChannel to enable + a more general method in detecting invalid OS handles rather than + just a specific known case. [BUG: 5971] + +2000-10-06 Jeff Hobbs <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com> + + * tests/cmdAH.test: extra tests for 'file channels' that include + multiple interpreter tests and channel sharing + * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_GetChannelNamesEx): corrected function (and + consequently 'file channels') to return channels that are actually + registered for this specific interp, rather than this thread. + + * doc/CrtChannel.3: fixed spelling mistakes + +2000-09-29 Jennifer Hom <jenn@ajubasolutions.com> + + * library/tcltest1.0/tcltest2.tcl: + * tests/tcltest2.test: + * doc/tcltest2.n: Modified the new form of the test command to + accept both attribute-value pairs and command line options. + Updated the tests and the documentation for this new format. + Also changed the option names for the test command. + +2000-09-29 Jeff Hobbs <hobbs@scriptics.com> + + * win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialGetOptionProc): corrected reporting of + space parity on Windows (Eason) [Bug 6057]. + + * win/Makefile.in: commented use of TESTFLAGS + * unix/Makefile.in: added TESTFLAGS to test target to + conform with Windows makefile and TEA style. + + * tests/stack.test: prevented possible crash on systems with low + default stacksize (Tru64, AIX) in infinite recursion test. A + solution to check remaining stack space in the core is best, but + hard to do in a cross-platform manner. + + * generic/tclIOGT.c (FLUSH_DELAY): renamed DELAY define to + FLUSH_DELAY to avoid defn conflict using Tru64's cc. + +2000-09-28 Jeff Hobbs <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com> + + * tools/tcl.wse.in: added tclPlatDecls.h and tkPlatDecls.h to the + Windows .exe install. + + * tests/fCmd.test (fCmd-6.20): corrected test to remove + c:/tcl8975@ after creating it. + + * tests/fileName.test: cleaned up the testing of glob patterns for + c:/globTest (Windows) to directly create/remove directory. + +2000-09-27 Jeff Hobbs <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com> + + * generic/tcl.decls: + * generic/tclIO.c: updated Tcl_IsChannelShared, + Tcl_IsChannelRegistered, Tcl_CutChannel, Tcl_SpliceChannel, + Tcl_IsChannelExisting, and Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers to conform to + the new stacked channel implementation. Their stub slots were + also moved to give preference to the new 8.3.2 stub functions. + This will cause an incompatability with 8.4a1 only. + (StopCopy): fixed a bug introduced by a partial fix in 8.3.2 that + didn't set nonBlocking correctly when resetting the flags for the + write side. [Bug: 6261] + + * doc/ChnlStack.3: + * doc/CrtChannel.3: + * generic/tcl.decls: + * generic/tcl.h: + * generic/tclDecls.h: + * generic/tclIO.c: + * generic/tclIO.h: + * generic/tclIOGT.c: + * generic/tclInt.decls: + * generic/tclIntDecls.h: + * generic/tclStubInit.c: + * generic/tclTest.c: + * tests/iogt.test: + * unix/Makefile.in: + * win/Makefile.in: + * win/makefile.vc: + * win/tclConfig.sh.in: + * win/tclWinChan.c: + * win/tclWinConsole.c: + * win/tclWinPipe.c: + * win/tclWinSerial.c: + * win/tclWinSock.c: Up-port of changes made in 8.3.2 to 8.4a2 code + base. Most of these changes relate to the rewrite of the stacked + channel implementation, with a few config related fixes. + + Following is an asynchronous include of the applicable ChangeLog + entries from 8.3.2. + + ******************************************************** + ** START OF ASYNCHRONOUS UP-PORT LOG (8.3.2 -> 8.4a2) ** + ******************************************************** + +2000-08-07 Jeff Hobbs <hobbs@scriptics.com> + + * doc/ChnlStack.3: + * doc/CrtChannel.3: updated the docs to be aware of the + TCL_CHANNEL_VERSION_2 style of Tcl channels. + + * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_CreateChannel): added assertion to verify + that the new channel versioning will be binary compatible with + older channel drivers. + +2000-08-05 Jeff Hobbs <hobbs@scriptics.com> + + * generic/tclIOGT.c (TclChannelTransform): fixed segfault that + would occur when transforming a channel with a proc that did not + yet exist. (Kupries) + + * generic/tclTest.c (TestChannelCmd): added some lint init'ing of + statePtr and chan vars. + +2000-07-26 Jeff Hobbs <hobbs@scriptics.com> + + * merged core-8-3-1-io-rewrite back into core-8-3-1-branch. + The core-8-3-1-io-rewrite branch should now be considered defunct. + + * generic/tclStubInit.c: + * generic/tclDecls.h: + * generic/tcl.decls: + * generic/tcl.h: + * generic/tclIO.c: moved the Tcl_Channel* macros from tcl.h to + tclIO.c and made them proper stubbed functions. These are: + Tcl_ChannelName, Tcl_ChannelVersion, Tcl_ChannelBlockModeProc, + Tcl_ChannelCloseProc, Tcl_ChannelClose2Proc, Tcl_ChannelInputProc, + Tcl_ChannelOutputProc, Tcl_ChannelSeekProc, Tcl_ChannelSetOptionProc, + Tcl_ChannelGetOptionProc, Tcl_ChannelWatchProc, + Tcl_ChannelGetHandleProc, Tcl_ChannelFlushProc, + and Tcl_ChannelHandlerProc. These should be used to access the + Tcl_ChannelType structure instead of direct pointer dereferencing. + + * tests/iogt.test: added RCS string, marked tests 2.* to be + unixOnly due to underlying system differences. + +2000-07-25 Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com> + + * tests/iogt.test: (line 866f) New tests iogt-6.[01], highlighting + buffering trouble when stacking and unstacking transformations. + iogt-6.0 is solved, see the changes below. iogt-6.1 remains, for + now, due to the perceived complexity of solutions. + + * generic/tclIO.h: (line 139f) struct Channel, added a buffer + queue, to hold data pushed back when stacking a transformation. + + * generic/tclIO.c: + (line 91f, line 7434f) New internal function 'CopyBuffer'. + Derived from 'CopyAndTranslateBuffer', with translation + removed. + (line 1025f, line 1212f): Initialization of new queue. + (line 1164f, Tcl_StackChannel): Pushback of input queue. + (line 1293f, Tcl_UnstackChannel): Discard input and pushback. + (line 3748f, Tcl_ReadRaw): Modified to use data in the push back + area before going to the driver. Uses 'CopyBuffer', s.a. + (line 4702f, GetInput): Modified to use data in the push back + area before going to the driver. + (line 4867f, Tcl_Seek): Modified to take pushback of the topmost + channel in a stack into account. + (line 5620f, Tcl_InputBuffered): See above. Added + 'Tcl_ChannelBuffered'. Analogue to 'Tcl_InputBuffered' but for + the buffer area in the channel. + + * generic/tcl.decls: New public API 'Tcl_ChannelBuffered'. S.a. + +2000-07-17 Jeff Hobbs <hobbs@scriptics.com> + + * unix/Makefile.in: + * win/Makefile.in: + * win/makefile.vc: added tclIOGT.c to objects list to compile. + + * generic/tclStubInit.c: + * generic/tclIntDecls.h: + * generic/tclInt.decls: commented out internal decls for + TclTestChannelCmd and TclTestChannelEventCmd as they were moved to + tclTest.c. Added new decls for TclChannelEventScriptInvoker and + TclChannelTransform. + + * generic/tclIO.c (CloseChannel): stopped masking out of the + TCL_READABLE|TCL_WRITABLE bits from the state flags in + CloseChannel, instead adding extra intelligence to + CheckChannelErrors with a new CHANNEL_RAW_MODE bit for special + behavior when called from Raw channel APIs. + +2000-07-13 Jeff Hobbs <hobbs@scriptics.com> + + * generic/tclIO.c (StackSetBlockMode): moved set of chanPtr + outside of blockModeProc check to avoid infinite loop when + blockModeProc was NULL (Kupries). updated TransformSeekProc to + not call Tcl_Seek directly (Kupries). + + * win/tclWinChan.c: updated fileChannelType to v2 channel struct + * win/tclWinConsole.c: updated consoleChannelType to v2 channel struct + * win/tclWinPipe.c: updated pipeChannelType to v2 channel struct + * win/tclWinSerial.c: updated serialChannelType to v2 channel struct + * win/tclWinSock.c: updated tcpChannelType to v2 channel struct + +2000-07-11 Brent Welch <welch@ajubasolutions.com> + + * win/tclConfig.sh.in (TCL_LIBS): Cleaned up unix-specific + autoconf variables. + +2000-07-11 Jeff Hobbs <hobbs@scriptics.com> + + * tests/iogt.test: made tests [345].0 not run by default as they + were failing in the new design, but I'm not convinced that the + returned result isn't correct. + + * generic/tclDecls.h: + * generic/tclStubInit.c: + * generic/tcl.decls: added Tcl_GetTopChannel C API that returns + the current top channel of a channel stack. Tcl_GetChannel was + changed earlier to return the bottommost channel of a stack + because that is the one that is guaranteed to stay around the + longest, and this was needed to compensate for certain + operations that want to look at the state of the main channel. + Most channel APIs already compensate for grabbing the top, so it + shouldn't be needed often. + + * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_StackChannel, Tcl_UnstackChannel): Added + flushing of buffers (Kupries), removed use of DownChannel macro, + added Tcl_GetTopChannel public API to get to the top channel of + the channel stack (necessary for TLS). Rewrote Tcl_NotifyChannel + for new channel design (Kupries). Did some code cleanup in the + transform code. tclIO.c must still be broken into bits (separate + out test code and giot code, create tclIO.h). + +2000-07-10 Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com> + + * tests/iogt.test: Reverted some earlier changes as a fix by Jeff + revived the original and correct behaviour. IOW, the tests showed + a genuine error and I didn't see it :(. + + * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Read|Write_Raw): Changed to directly use + the drivers and not DoRead|DoWrite. The latter use the buffering + system, encoding and eol-translation and this wreaks havoc with + the data going through the transformations. Both procedures use + CheckForchannelErrors and let it believe that there is no + background copy in progress or else stacked channels could not + be used for that. + + * generic/tclIO.c (TclCopyChannel, CopyData): Moved access to the + topmost channel from the first to the second procedure to make + the decision about that at the last possible time (Callbacks can + change the stacking). + + test suite: failures of iogt-[345].0 + +2000-07-06 Jeff Hobbs <hobbs@scriptics.com> + + * tests/iogt.test: new tests for stacked channel stuff based off + new 'testchannel transform|unstack' code (Kupries IOGT extension). + * generic/tcl.decls: + * generic/tcl.h: + * generic/tclDecls.h: + * generic/tclStubsInit.c: + * generic/tclIO.c: complete rewrite of Tcl Channel code for + stacked channels. Channels are now designed to work in a more + stacked fashion with a shared ChannelState data structure. + +2000-06-02 Jeff Hobbs <hobbs@scriptics.com> + + * generic/tclIO.c (CloseChannel): removed the &ing out of + (TCL_READABLE|TCL_WRITABLE) from the flags, as CloseChannel does + this on the next pass through for the top channel, and it appeared + to be causing hangs by not allowing the final flush. + +2000-06-01 Jeff Hobbs <hobbs@scriptics.com> + + * generic/tclIO.c (CloseChannel): Rewrote CloseChannel code to + unstack a channel during the close process. Fixed a refcount bug + in Tcl_UnstackChannel.
