+
+ * win/tclWin32Dll.c (DllMain): Add HAVE_NO_SEH blocks in place of
+ __try and __except statements to support gcc builds. This is needed
+ after David's changes on 2003-12-21. [Patch 858493]
+
+2003-12-23 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * generic/tclAlloc.c: All uses of 'panic' (the macro) changed to
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: 'Tcl_Panic' (the function). The #define of
+ * generic/tclBinary.c: panic in tcl.h clearly states it is deprecated
+ * generic/tclCkalloc.c: in the comments. [Patch 865264]

+
+2003-12-22 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/nmakehlp.c:
+ * win/rules.vc: New feature for extensions that use rules.vc. Now
+ reads header files for version strings. No more hard coding
+ TCL_VERSION = 8.5 and having to edit it when you swap cores.
+
+ * win/makefile.vc: VERSION macro now set by reading tcl.h for it.
+
+ * generic/tcl.h: Removed note that makefile.vc needs to have a version
+ number changed.
+
+2003-12-21 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/tclWin32Dll.c: Structured Exception Handling added around
+ Tcl_Finalize called from DllMain's DLL_PROCESS_DETACH. We can't be
+ 100% assured that Tcl is being unloaded by the OS in a stable
+ condition and we need to protect the exit handlers should the stack be
+ in a hosed state. AT&T style assembly for SEH under MinGW has not been
+ added yet. This is a first part change for [Patch 858493]
+
+2003-12-17 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclBinary.c (DeleteScanNumberCache): fixed crashing bug when
+ numeric scan-value cache contains NULL value.
+
+2003-12-17 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdAH.c:
+ * unix/tclUnixFile.c:
+ * win/tclWinFCmd.c:
+ * tests/fCmd.test:
+ * tests/fileSystem.test:
+ * doc/file.n: final fix to support for relative links and its
+ implications on normalization and other parts of the filesystem code.
+ Fixes [Bug 859251] and some Windows problems with recursive file
+ delete/copy and symbolic links.
+
+2003-12-17 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclPathObj.c:
+ * tests/fileSystem.test: fix and tests for [Bug 860402] in new file
+ normalization code.
+
+2003-12-17 Zoran Vasiljevic <zv@archiware.com>
+
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c: fixed 2 memory (object) leaks. [Bug 839519]
+
+ * generic/tclPathObj.c: fixed Tcl_FSGetTranslatedPath to always return
+ properly refcounted path object. [Bug 861515]
+
+2003-12-16 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/fCmd.test: marking fCmd-9.14.2, as nonPortable, since on
+ Solaris one can change the name of the current directory with 'file
+ rename'.
+ * doc/FileSystem.3: clarified documentation on ownership of return
+ objects/strings of some Tcl_FS* calls.
+
+2003-12-16 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (binfo): Made variable file-local.
+
+2003-12-15 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/tcl.rc:
+ * win/tclsh.rc: Slight modification to the STRINGIFY macro to support
+ Borland's rc tool.
+
+ * win/tclWinFile.c (TclpUtime) : utimbuf struct not a problem with
+ Borland.
+
+ * win/tclWinTime.c (TclpGetDate) : Borland's localtime() has a slight
+ behavioral difference.
+
+ From Helmut Giese <hgiese@ratiosoft.com> [Patch 758097].
+
+2003-12-14 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * generic/tclInt.decls: commented-out entry for TclpCheckStackSpace,
+ removing it from the Stubs table. It's already declared in tclInt.h
+ and labeled as a function that is not to be exported. Regened tables.
+
+2003-12-14 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SwitchObjCmd): TIP#75 Implementation
+ * tests/switch.test: Can now get submatch information when using
+ * doc/switch.n: -regexp matching in [switch].
+
+2003-12-14 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclPathObj.c: complete rewrite of generic file normalization
+ code to cope with links followed by '..'. [Bug 849514], and parts of
+ [Bug 859251]
+
+2003-12-12 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinChan.c: Win32's SetFilePointer() takes LONGs not DWORDs (a
+ signed/unsigned mismatch). Redid local vars to avoid all casting
+ except where truly required.
+
+2003-12-12 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdAH.c: fix to normalization of non-existent user name
+ ('file normalize ~nobody') [Bug 858937]
+ * doc/file.n: clarify behaviour of 'file link' when the target is not
+ an absolute path.
+ * doc/filename.n: correct documentation to say that Windows Tcl does
+ handle '~user', for recent Windows releases, and clarified distinction
+ between MacOS 'classic' and MacOS X.
+ * doc/glob.n: clarification of glob's behaviour when returning
+ filenames starting with a '~'.
+
+ * tests/fileSystem.test:
+ * tests/fileName.test: new tests added for the normalization problem
+ above and other recentlt reported issues.
+
+ * win/tclWinFile.c: corrected unclear comments
+
+ * unix/tclUnixFile.c: allow creation of relative links. [Bug 833713]
+
+2003-12-11 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinSock.c (SocketThreadExitHandler) : added a TerminateThread
+ fallback just in case the socket handler thread is really in a paused
+ state. This can happen when Tcl is being unloaded by the OS from an
+ exception handler. See MSDN docs on DllMain, it states this behavior.
+
+2003-12-09 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * unix/configure:
+ * unix/tcl.m4: updated OpenBSD build configuration based on
+ [Patch #775246] (cassoff)
+
+2003-12-09 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+ * unix/tclUnixPort.h: #ifdef'd out declarations of errno which are
+ * tools/man2tcl.c: known to cause problems with recent glibc.
+ [Bug 852369]
+
+2003-12-09 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * win/tclWinFile.c: fix to NT file permissions code [Bug 855923]
+ * tests/winFile.test: added tests for NT file permissions - patch and
+ test scripts supplied by Benny.
+
+ * tests/winFCmd.test: fixed one test for when not running in C:/
+
+2003-12-02 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclBinary.c (DeleteScanNumberCache, ScanNumber): Made the
+ numeric scan-value cache have proper references to the objects within
+ it so strange patterns of writes won't cause references to freed
+ objects. Thanks to Paul Obermeir for the report. [Bug 851747]
+
+2003-12-01 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * doc/lset.n: fix typo [Bug 852224]
+
+2003-11-24 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclParse.c: Corrected faulty check for trailing white
+ space in {expand} parsing. Thanks Andreas Leitgeb. [Bug 848262]
+ * tests/parse.test: New tests for the bug.
+
+2003-11-24 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclPathObj.c: fix to [Bug 845778] - Infinite recursion on
+ [cd] (Windows only bug), for which new tests have just been added.
+
+2003-11-21 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/winFCmd.test (winFCmd-16.10,11): Merged new tests from
+ core-8-4-branch.
+
+2003-11-20 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclVar.c: fix flag bit collision between LOOKUP_FOR_UPVAR
+ and TCL_PARSE_PART1 (deprecated) [Bug 835020]
+
+2003-11-19 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/compile.test (compile-16.22.0): Improved test for the recent
+ fix for Bug 845412.
+
+2003-11-19 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): Added a guard for the
+ expansion code so that long non-expanding commands don't get expansion
+ infrastructure inserted in them, especially when that infrastructure
+ isn't initialised. [Bug 845412]
+
+2003-11-18 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * contrib/djgpp/Makefile: Changes from Victor Wagner
+ * contrib/djgpp/langinfo.c (new): <vitus@45.free.net> for better
+ * contrib/djgpp/langinfo.h (new): DJGPP support.
+ * unix/tclUnixInit.c: .
+ * unix/tclUnixChan.c: .
+ * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: .
+
+2003-11-17 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/reg.test: Added tests for [Bugs 230589, 504785, 505048, 840258]
+ recently fixed by 2003-11-15 commit to regcomp.c by Pavel Goran. His
+ notes on the fix: This bug results from an error in code that splits
+ states into "progress" and "no-progress" ones. This error causes an
+ interesting situation with the pre-collected single-linked list of
+ states to be splitted: many items were added to the list, but only
+ several of them are accessible from the list beginning, since the
+ "tmp" member of struct state (which is used here to hold a pointer to
+ the next list item) gets overwritten, which results in a "looped"
+ chain. As a result, not all of states are splitted, and one state is
+ splitted two times, causing incorrect "no-progress" flag values.
+
+2003-11-16 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Make sure that
+ Tcl_AsyncInvoke is called regularly when processing bytecodes.
+ * generic/tclTest.c (AsyncThreadProc, TestasyncCmd): Extended testing
+ harness to send an asynchronous marking without relying on UNIX
+ signals.
+ * tests/async.test (async-4.*): Tests to check that async events are
+ handled by the bytecode core. [Bug 746722]
+
+2003-11-15 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclTest.c (TestHashSystemHashCmd): Removed 'const' modifier
+ from hash type structure; it should be const and the hash code assumes
+ it behaves like const, but that's not how the API is defined. Like
+ this, we are following in the same footsteps as Tcl_RegisterObjType()
+ which has the same conditions on its argument. Stops VC++5.2 warning.
+ [Bug 842511]
+
+2003-11-14 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclHash.c (Tcl_DeleteHashTable,Tcl_HashStats,RebuildTable):
+ * generic/tclTest.c (TestHashSystemHashCmd): TIP#138 implementation,
+ * tests/misc.test: plus a new chunk of stuff to test the hash
+ functions more thoroughly in the test suite.
+ [Patch 731356, modified]
+
+ * doc/Tcl.n: Updated Tcl version number and changebars.
+
+2003-11-14 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * doc/ParseCmd.3: Implementation of TIP 157. Adds recognition
+ * doc/Tcl.n: of the new leading {expand} syntax on words.
+ * generic/tcl.h: Parses such words as the new Tcl_Token type
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: TCL_TOKEN_EXPAND_WORD. Updated Tcl_EvalEx and
+ * generic/tclCompile.c: the bytecode compiler/execution engine to
+ * generic/tclCompile.h: recognize the new token type. New opcodes
+ * generic/tclExecute.c: INST_LIST_VERIFY and INST_INVOKE_EXP and a new
+ * generic/tclParse.c: operand type OPERAND_ULIST1 are defined. Docs
+ * generic/tclTest.c: and tests are included.
+ * tests/basic.test:
+ * tests/compile.test:
+ * tests/parse.test:
+
+ * library/auto.tcl: Replaced several [eval]s used to perform
+ * library/package.tcl: argument expansion with the new syntax. In the
+ * library/safe.tcl: test files lindex.test and lset.test, replaced
+ * tests/cmdInfo.test: use of [eval] to force direct string
+ * tests/encoding.test: evaluation with use of [testevalex] which more
+ * tests/execute.test: directly and robustly serves the same purpose.
+ * tests/fCmd.test:
+ * tests/http.test:
+ * tests/init.test:
+ * tests/interp.test:
+ * tests/io.test:
+ * tests/ioUtil.test:
+ * tests/iogt.test:

+ * tests/namespace-old.test:
+ * tests/namespace.test:
+ * tests/pkg.test:

+ * tests/proc.test:
+ * tests/reg.test:
+ * tests/trace.test:
+ * tests/upvar.test:
+ * tests/winConsole.test:
+ * tests/winFCmd.test:
+
+2003-11-12 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * tests/cmdMZ.test (cmdMZ-1.4): change to nonPortable as more systems
+ are using permissions caching, and this isn't really a Tcl controlled
+ issue.
+
+2003-11-11 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * unix/configure:
+ * unix/tcl.m4: improve AIX --enable-64bit handling
+ remove -D__NO_STRING_INLINES -D__NO_MATH_INLINES from CFLAGS_OPTIMIZE
+ on Linux. Make default opt -O2 (was -O).
+
+2003-11-11 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * contrib/djgpp/Makefile: Suggested changes from vitus@45.free.net
+ (Victor Wagner)
+
+ * unix/tclUnixPort.h: added socklen_t typedef for DJGPP
+
+2003-11-10 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):
+ * win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): Fix for [Bug 832657]
+ that should not run afoul of startup constraints.
+
+ * library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl: Added safeguards so that registry and
+ * library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl: dde packages are not offered on
+ * win/tclWinDde.c: non-Windows platforms. Bumped to
+ * win/tclWinReg.c: registry 1.1.3 and dde 1.3.
+ * win/Makefile.in:
+ * win/configure.in:
+ * win/makefile.bc:
+ * win/makefile.vc:
+
+ * win/configure: autoconf (2.57)
+
+2003-11-10 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+ * tests/cmdIL.test: Stopped cmdIL-5.5 from stomping over the test
+ command, and updated the tests to use some tcltest2 features in
+ relation to cleanup. [Bug 838384]
+
+2003-11-10 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdAH.c:
+ * tests/fCmd.test: fix to misleading error message in 'file link'.
+ [Bug 836208]
+
+2003-11-07 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to compiler warning/error with some
+ compilers. [Bug 835918]
+
+2003-11-07 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * macosx/Makefile: optimized builds define NDEBUG to turn off
+ ThreadAlloc range checking.
+
+2003-11-05 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.10): New test to expose [Bug 832657]
+ failure of TclpInitLibraryPath() to properly handle .. in the path
+ of the executable.
+
+2003-11-04 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * macosx/Makefile: added 'test' target.
+
+2003-11-03 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c
+ * generic/tclInt.h: added comments and re-arranged code to clarify
+ distinction between Tcl_LoadHandle, ClientData for 'load'ed code, and
+ point out limitations of the design introduced with Tcl 8.4.
+
+ * unix/tclUnixFile.c: fix to memory leak
+
+ * generic/tclCmdIL.c: removed warning on Windows.
+
+2003-11-01 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LrepeatObjCmd): Check for sensible list
+ lengths and allow for soft failure of the memory subsystem in the
+ [lconcat] command [Bug 829027]. Uses direct list creation to avoid
+ extra copies when working near the limit of available memory. Also
+ reorganized to encourage optimizing compilers to optimize heavily.
+ * generic/tclListObj.c (TclNewListObjDirect): New list constructor
+ that does not copy the array of objects. Useful for creating
+ potentially very large lists or where you are about to throw away the
+ array argument which is being used in its entirety.
+
+2003-10-28 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (NEXT_INST macros): replaced macro variable
+ "result" by "resultHandling" to avoid confusion.
+
+2003-10-23 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * unix/tclUnixChan.c (Tcl_MakeFileChannel): Applied [Patch 813606]
+ fixing [Bug 813087]. Detection of sockets was off for Mac OS X which
+ implements pipes as local sockets. The new code ensures that only IP
+ sockets are detected as such.
+
+ * win/tclWinSock.c (TcpWatchProc): Watch for FD_CLOSE too when asked
+ for writable events by the generic layer.
+ (SocketEventProc): Generate a writable event too when a close is
+ detected.
+
+ Together the changes fix [Bug 599468].
+
+2003-10-23 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/resource.test:
+ * mac/tclMacResource.c: fix to resource freeing problem in 'resource'
+ command reported by Bernard Desgraupes.
+
+ * doc/FileSystem.3: updated documentation for 'glob' fix on 2003-10-13
+ below
+
+2003-10-22 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FileObjCmd): Changed FILE_ prefix to FCMD_
+ to stop symbol/#def clashes on Cygwin/Mingw32 on NT. [Bug 822528]
+
+2003-10-21 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: fixed incorrect html generated for
+ .IP/.TP lists, now use <DL><DT>...<DD>...<P><DT>...<DD>...</DL>
+ instead of illegal <DL><P><DT>...<DD>...<P><DT>...<DD>...</DL>.
+ Added skipping of directives directly after .TP to avoid them being
+ used as item descriptions, e.g. .TP\n.VS in clock.n.
+
+2003-10-21 Andreas Kupries <andreask@pliers.activestate.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Applied the patch coming with
+ [Bug 805605] to the code, fixing the incorrect use of ispace noted by
+ Ronald Dauster <ronaldd@users.sourceforge.net>.
+
+2003-10-20 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * doc/msgcat.n:
+ * library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl (mclocale,mcload):
+ * tools/tcl.wse.in:
+ * unix/Makefile.in: Implementation of TIP#156, add a "root locale"
+ * win/makefile.bc: to the 'msgcat' package. Advanced msgcat
+ * win/Makefile.in: version number to 1.4
+ * win/Makefile.vc:
+
+2003-10-15 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdIL.c (SortInfo,etc): Reorganized so that SortInfo
+ carries an array of integer indices instead of a Tcl list. This nips
+ shimmering problems in the bud and simplifies SelectObjFromSublist at
+ the cost of making setup slightly more complex. [Bug 823768]
+
+2003-10-14 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/tclAppInit.c (sigHandler): Punt gracefully if exitToken has
+ already been destroyed.
+
+2003-10-14 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c:
+ * tests/regexp.test: fix to [Bug 823524] in regsub; added three new
+ tests.
+
+2003-10-14 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclBasic.c (TclAppendObjToErrorInfo): New internal routine
+ that appends a Tcl_Obj to the errorInfo, saving the caller the trouble
+ of extracting the string rep.
+
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c (TclAppendLimitedToObj): New internal
+ routine that supports truncated appends with optional ellipsis marking.
+ This single routine supports UTF-8-safe truncated appends needed in
+ several places throughout the Tcl source code, mostly for error and
+ stack messages. Clean fix for [Bug 760872].
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h: Declarations for new internal routines.
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Updated callers to use the new routines.
+ * generic/tclCompExpr.c:
+ * generic/tclCompile.c:
+ * generic/tclExecute.c:
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+ * generic/tclNamesp.c:
+ * generic/tclObj.c:
+ * generic/tclParseExpr.c:
+ * generic/tclProc.c:
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c:
+ * mac/tclMacResource.c:
+
+ * library/init.tcl: Updated ::errorInfo cleanup in [unknown] to
+ reflect slight modifications to Tcl_LogCommandInfo(). Corrects failing
+ init-4.* tests.
+
+2003-10-14 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ TIP#127 IMPLEMENTATION FROM JOE MICHAEL SCHLENKER
+
+ * generic/tclCmdIL.c (SelectObjFromSublist): Element selection engine.
+ * generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsearchObjCmd, Tcl_LsortObjCmd):
+ * tests/lsearch.test: Set up and use of element selection engine,

+ Fixed [Bug 800106] in which 'glob' was incapable of merging the
+ results of a directory listing (real or virtual) and any virtual
+ filesystem mountpoints in that directory (the latter were ignored).
+ This meant boundaries between different filesystems were not seamless
+ (e.g. 'glob */*' across a filesystem boundary was wrong). Added new
+ entry to Tcl_GlobTypeData in a totally backwards compatible way. To
+ allow listing of mounts, registered filesystems must support the
+ 'TCL_GLOB_TYPE_MOUNT' flag. If this is not supported (e.g. in tclvfs
+ 1.2) then mounts will simply not be listed for that filesystem.
+
+ Fixed [Bug 749876] 'file writable/readable/etc' (NativeAccess) using
+ correct permission checking code for Windows NT/2000/XP where more
+ complex user-based security/access priveleges are available,
+ particularly on shared volumes. The performance impact of this extra
+ checking will need further investigation. Note: Win 95,98,ME have no
+ support for this.
+
+ Also made better use of normalized rather than translated paths in the
+ platform specific code.

+
+ * compat/strftime.c (_fmt): Removed syst array intializer that

+ 'Initializers must be constant'. I believe Borland has this strictness

+
+ Changed Win32 platform #ifdef from 'WIN32' to '__WIN32__' as this is

+
+ Added missing CONST'ification usage to match prototype listed in
+ tclInt.decls.
+
+ * win/tclWinPort.h: Added a block for OpenWatcom adjustments that

+ strict about how the char type needs to be signed by default.
+
+ * win/tclWinSock.c: Added OpenWatcom to the commentary about the

+
+2003-08-25 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * tools/genStubs.tcl (genStubs::makeDecl): A more subtle way of
+ generating stubbed declarations allows us to have declarations of a

+
+ * generic/tcl.decls: Duplicated some namespace declarations from
+ tclInt.decls here, as mandated by TIP #139. This is OK since the
+ declarations match and will end up using the declarations in the

+ declarations in tclInt.decls; there's no need to gratuitously break

+
+ * generic/tcl.h: Revert change made on 2003-07-21 since it made the

+ * generic/tclInt.h: Define TclDecrRefCount in terms of
+ Tcl_DbDecrRefCount which removes one layer of inderection.
+ * generic/tclObj.c (TclDbInitNewObj, Tcl_DbIncrRefCount,
+ (Tcl_DbDecrRefCount, Tcl_DbIsShared): Define ThreadSpecificData that

+ enabled only when mem debug and threads are enabled.
+
+2003-07-24 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+2003-07-21 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ Check that the thread incrementing or decrementing the ref count of a
+ Tcl_Obj is the thread that originally allocated the thread. This fail
+ fast behavior will catch programming errors that allow a single
+ Tcl_Obj to be accessed from multiple threads.
+
+ * generic/tcl.h (Tcl_Obj): Add allocThread member to Tcl_Obj. This
+ member records the thread id the Tcl_Obj was allocated. It is used to
+ check that any future ref count incr or decr is done from the same
+ thread that allocated the Tcl_Obj. This member is defined only when
+ threads and mem debug are enabled.
+ * generic/tclInt.h (TclNewObj, TclDbNewObj, TclDecrRefCount):
+ Define TclNewObj and TclDbNewObj using TclDbInitNewObj when mem debug
+ is enabled. This fixes a problem where TclNewObj calls did not work
+ the same as TclDbNewObj when mem debug was enabled.
+ * generic/tclObj.c (TclDbInitNewObj, Tcl_DbIncrRefCount,
+ (Tcl_DbDecrRefCount): Add new helper to init Tcl_Obj members when mem
+ debug is enabled. Init the allocThread member in TclDbInitNewObj and
+ check it in Tcl_DbIncrRefCount and Tcl_DbDecrRefCount to make sure a
+ Tcl_Obj allocated in one thread is not being acted upon in another

+
+2003-07-18 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * doc/tcltest.n: Restored the [Eval] proc to replace
+ * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: the [::puts] command when either the
+ -output or -error option for [test] is in use, in order to capture
+ data written to the output or error channels for comparison against
+ what is expected. This is easier to document and agrees better with
+ most user expectations than the previous attempt to replace [puts]
+ only in the caller's namespace. Documentation made more precise on
+ the subject. [Bug 706359]
+
+ * doc/AddErrInfo.3: Improved consistency of documentation by
+ * doc/CrtTrace.3: using "null" everywhere to refer to the
+ * doc/Encoding.3: character '\0', and using "NULL" everywhere
+ * doc/Eval.3: to refer to the value of a pointer that points
+ * doc/GetIndex.3: to nowhere. Also dropped references to ASCII
+ * doc/Hash.3: that are no longer true, and standardized on
+ * doc/LinkVar.3: the hyphenated spelling of "null-terminated".
+ * doc/Macintosh.3:
+ * doc/OpenFileChnl.3:
+ * doc/SetVar.3:
+ * doc/StringObj.3:

+
+ * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: fix for compilation errors on platforms where
+ configure detects non-functional chflags(). [Bug 748946]
+
+ * macosx/Makefile: Rewrote buildsystem for Mac OS X framework build
+ to be purely make driven; in order to become independent of Apple's
+ closed-source IDE and build tool. The changes are intended to be
+ transparent to the Makefile user, all existing make targets and cmd
+ line variable overrides should continue to work. Changed build to only
+ include tcl specific html help in Tcl.framework, the tk specific html
+ help is now included in Tk.framework. Added var to allow overriding of
+ tclsh used during html help building (Landon Fuller).
+
+ * macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj:
+ * macosx/Tcl.pbproj/jingham.pbxuser: Changed to purely call through to
+ the make driven buildsystem; Tcl.framework is no longer assembled by
+ ProjectBuilder.
+ Set default SYMROOT in target options to simplify setting up PB
+ (manually setting common build folder for tcl & tk no longer needed).
+
+ * tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: Added options to allow building only the
+ tcl or tk html help files; the default behaviour with none of the new
+ options is to build both, as before.
+
+ * unix/Makefile.in: Added targets for building only the tcl or tk help
+
+ * macosx/README (new): Tcl specific excerpts of tk/macosx/README.
+
+ * generic/tcl.h: Updated reminder comment about editing
+ macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj when version number changes.

+
+ * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd, TclArraySet): Made [array get]
+ and [array set] work with dictionaries, producing them and consuming
+ them. Note that for compatability reasons, you will never get a dict
+ from feeding a string literal to [array set] since that alters the
+ trace behaviour of "multi-key" sets. [Bug 759935]

+ * win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialCloseProc): correct mem leak on closing a
+ Windows serial port [Bug 718002] (schroedter)
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): prevent string repeat crash
+ when overflow sizes were given (throws error). [Bug 714106]
+
+2003-05-09 Joe Mistachkin <joe@mistachkin.com>
+
+ * generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (TclFreeAllocCache): Fixed memory leak
+ caused by treating cachePtr as a TLS index. [Bug 731754]
+
+ * win/tclAppInit.c (Tcl_AppInit): Fixed memory leaks caused by not
+ freeing the memory allocated by setargv and the async handler created
+ by Tcl_AppInit. An exit handler has been created that takes care of
+ both leaks. In addition, Tcl_AppInit now uses ckalloc instead of
+ Tcl_Alloc to allow for easier leak tracking and to be more consistent
+ with the rest of the Tcl core. [Bugs 733156, 733221]
+
+ * tools/encoding/txt2enc.c (main): Fixed memory leak caused by failing
+ to free the memory used by the toUnicode array of strings [Bug 733221]
+
+2003-05-09 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript):
+ * tests/compile.test (compile-3.5): corrected wrong test and
+ behaviour in the earlier fix for [Bug 705406]; Don Porter reported
+ this as [Bug 735055], and provided the solution.
+
+2003-05-09 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_ReturnObjCmd): The array of strings passed
+ to Tcl_GetIndexFromObj must be NULL terminated. [Bug 735186]
+ Thanks to Joe Mistachkin for spotting this.
+
+2003-05-07 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * doc/trace.n: Fixed very strange language in the documentation for
+ 'trace add execution'. [Bug 729821]
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TraceObjCmd): Made error message for 'trace
+ info' more consistent with documentation. [Bug 706961]

+ confusion about string ownership. [Bug 731706]
+
+2003-05-05 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: Implementation of TIP 90, which
+ * generic/tclCmdAH.c: extends the [catch] and [return]
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c: commands to enable creation of a

+2003-04-28 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclDictObj.c (DictIncrCmd): Updated to reflect the behaviour

+2003-04-25 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: Tcl_EvalObjv() failed to honor the

+
+2003-04-25 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinThrd.c: Applied SF patch #727271. This patch changes the
+ code to catch any errors returned by the windows functions handling
+ TLS ASAP instead of waiting to get some mysterious crash later on due
+ to bogus pointers. Patch provided by Joe Mistachkin.
+
+ This is a stop-gap measure to deal with the low number of ?TLS slots
+ provided by some of the variants of Windows (60-80).
+
+2003-04-24 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclFileName.c: fix to bug reported privately by Jeff where,
+ for example, 'glob -path {[tcl]} *' gets confused by the leading
+ special character (which is escaped internally), and instead lists
+ files in '/'. Bug only occurs on Windows where '\' is also a directory
+ separator.
+ * tests/fileName.test: added test for the above bug.
+
+2003-04-22 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * The changes below fix SF bugs [593810], and [718045].
+
+ * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_CutChannel, Tcl_SpliceChannel): Invoke
+ TclpCutSockChannel and TclpSpliceSockChannel.
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h: Declare TclpCutSockChannel and
+ TclpSpliceSockChannel.
+
+ * unix/tclUnixSock.c (TclpCutSockChannel, TclpSpliceSockChannel):
+ Dummy functions, on unix the sockets are _not_ handled specially.
+
+ * mac/tclMacSock.c (TclpCutSockChannel, TclpSpliceSockChannel):
+ * win/tclWinSock.c (TclpCutSockChannel, TclpSpliceSockChannel): New
+ functions to handle socket specific cut/splice operations: auto-init
+ of socket system for thread on splice, management of the module
+ internal per-thread list of sockets, management of association of
+ sockets with HWNDs for event notification.
+
+ * win/tclWinSock.c (NewSocketInfo): Extended initialization
+ assignments to cover all items of the structure. During debugging of
+ the new code mentioned above I found that two fileds could contain
+ bogus data.
+
+ * win/tclWinFile.c: Added #undef HAVE_NO_FINDEX_ENUMS before
+ definition because when compiling in debug mode the compiler complains
+ about a redefinition, and this warning is also treated as an error.
+
+2003-04-21 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: When the return code of a test does
+ not meet expectations, report that as the reason for test failure, and
+ do not attempt to check the test result for correctness. [Bug 725253]
+
+2003-04-18 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinInt.h (VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_CE): conditionally define.
+ * win/tclWinInit.c: recognize Windows CE as a Win platform. This just
+ recognizes CE - full support will come later.
+
+ * win/configure: regen
+ * win/configure.in (SHELL): force it to /bin/sh as autoconf 2.5x
+ uses /bin/bash, which can fail to find exes in the path (ie: lib).
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (ExprCallMathFunc): remove incorrect
+ extraneous cast from Tcl_WideAsDouble.
+
+2003-04-18 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * doc/open.n: Moved serial port options from [fconfigure] to
+ * doc/fconfigure.n: [open] as it is up to the creator of a channel
+ to describe the channel's special config
+ options. [Bug 679010]
+
+2003-04-16 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tcl.h: Made changes so that the "wideInt" Tcl_ObjType
+ * generic/tclObj.c: is defined on all platforms, even those where
+ * generic/tclPort.h: TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG is defined. Also made the
+ Tcl_Value struct have a wideValue field on all platforms. This is a
+ ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG platforms
+ because that struct changes size. This is the same TIP 72
+ incompatibility that was seen on other platforms at the 8.4.0 release,
+ when this change should have happened as well. [Bug 713562]
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h: New internal macros TclGetWide() and
+ TclGetLongFromWide() to deal with both forms of the "wideInt"
+ Tcl_ObjType, so that conditional TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG code is confined
+ to the header file.
+
+ * generic/tclCmdAH.c: Replaced most coding that was conditional
+ * generic/tclCmdIL.c: on TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG with code that
+ * generic/tclExecute.c: works across platforms, sometimes using
+ * generic/tclTest.c: the new macros above to do it.
+ * generic/tclUtil.c:
+ * generic/tclVar.c:
+
+2003-04-17 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * doc/socket.n: Added a paragraph to remind people to specify their
+ encodings when using sockets. [Bug 630621]
+
+2003-04-16 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * doc/CrtMathFnc.3: Functions also have to deal with wide ints, but
+ this was not documented. [Bug 709720]
+
+2003-04-16 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclPathObj.c: removed undesired 'static' for function which
+ is now shared (previously it was duplicated).
+
+2003-04-15 Joe English <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * doc/namespace.n: added example section "SCOPED SCRIPTS", supplied by
+ Kevin Kenny. [Bug 219183]
+
+2003-04-15 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+ * makefile.vc: Updated makefile.vc to conform with Mo DeJong's changes
+ to Makefile.in and tclWinPipe.c on 2003-04-14. Now passes TCL_PIPE_DLL
+ in place of TCL_DBGX.
+ * win/tclWinTime.c: Corrected use of types to make compilation
+ compatible with VC++5.
+
+2003-04-15 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c: finished check-in from yesterday, removing
+ duplicate function definition.
+
+2003-04-14 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclClock.c: Corrected compiler warnings.
+ * generic/tclTest.c:
+
+2003-04-14 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * win/Makefile.in: Don't define TCL_DBGX symbol for every compile.
+ Instead, define TCL_PIPE_DLL only when compiling tclWinPipe.c. This
+ will break other build systems, so they will need to remove the
+ TCL_DBGX define and replace it with a define for TCL_PIPE_DLL.
+ * win/tclWinPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess): Remove PREFIX_IDENT and
+ DEBUG_IDENT from top of file. Use TCL_PIPE_DLL passed in from build
+ env instead of trying to construct the dll name from already defined
+ symbols. This approach is more flexible and better in the long run.
+
+2003-04-14 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+ * win/tclWinFile.c: added conditionals to restore compilation on
+ VC++6, which was broken by recent changes.
+
+2003-04-14 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+ * generic/tclPathObj.c:
+ * generic/tclFileSystem.h: overlooked one function which was
+ duplicated, so this is now shared between modules.
+ * win/tclWinFile.c: allow this file to compile with VC++ 5.2 again
+ since Mingw build fixes broke that.
+
+2003-04-13 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * win/configure: Regen.
+ * win/configure.in: Add check for FINDEX_INFO_LEVELS from winbase.h,
+ known to be a problem in VC++ 5.2. Define HAVE_NO_FINDEX_ENUMS if the
+ define does not exist.
+ * win/tclWinFile.c: Put declarations for FINDEX_INFO_LEVELS and
+ FINDEX_SEARCH_OPS inside a check for HAVE_NO_FINDEX_ENUMS so that
+ these are not declared twice. This fixes the Mingw build.
+ * win/tclWinTime.c: Rework the init of timeInfo so that the number or
+ initializers matches the declaration. This was broken under Mingw. Add
+ cast to avoid compile warning when calling the AccumulateSample
+ function.
+
+2003-04-12 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * win/Makefile.in (GENERIC_OBJS): add missing tclPathObj.c
+
+2003-04-12 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+ * doc/clock.n:
+ * generic/tclClock.c (Tcl_ClockObjCmd):
+ * tests/clock.test: Implementation of TIP #124. Also renumbered test
+ cases to avoid duplicates. [Bug 710310]
+ * tests/winTime.test:
+ * win/tclWinTest.c (TestwinclockCmd, TestwinsleepCmd):
+ * win/tclWinTime.c (Tcl_WinTime, UpdateTimeEachSecond,
+ (ResetCounterSamples, AccumulateSample, SAMPLES, TimeInfo): Made
+ substantial changes to the phase-locked loop (replaced an IIR filter
+ with an FIR one) in a quest for improved loop stability (Bug not
+ logged at SF, but cited in private communication from Jeff Hobbs).
+
+2003-04-11 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd,STR_IS_INT): Corrected
+ inconsistent results of [string is integer] observed on systems where
+ sizeof(long) != sizeof(int). [Bug 718878]
+ * tests/string.test: Added tests for Bug 718878.
+ * doc/string.n: Clarified that [string is integer] accepts 32-bit
+ integers.
+
+2003-04-11 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclIO.c (UpdateInterest): When dropping interest in
+ TCL_READABLE now dropping interest in TCL_EXCEPTION too. This fixes a
+ bug where Expect detects eof on a file prematurely on solaris 2.6 and
+ higher. A much more complete explanation is in the code itself (40
+ lines of comments for a one-line change :)
+
+2003-04-11 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/cmdAH.test: fix test suite problem if /home is a symlink. [Bug
+ 703264]
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix bad error message with 'cd ""'. [Bug
+ 704917]
+ * win/tclWinFile.c, win/tclWin32Dll.c:
+ * win/tclWinInt.h: allow Tcl to differentiate between reparse points
+ which are symlinks and mounted volumes, and correctly handle the
+ latter. This involves some elaborate code to find the actual drive
+ letter (if possible) corresponding to a mounted volume. [Bug 697862]
+ * tests/fileSystem.test: add constraints to stop tests running in
+ ordinary tcl interpreter. [Bug 705675]
+
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+ * generic/tclPathObj.c: (new file)
+ * generic/tclFileSystem.h: (new file)
+ * win/makefile.vc:
+ Split path object handling out of the virtual filesystem layer, into
+ tclPathObj.c. This refactoring cleans up the internal filesystem code,
+ and will make any future optimisations and forthcoming better
+ thread-safety much easier.
+
+ * generic/tclTest.c:
+ * tests/reg.test: added some 'knownBug' tests for problems in Tcl's
+ regexp code with the TCL_REG_CAN_MATCH flag (see Bug 703709). Code too
+ impenetrable to fix right now, but a fix is needed for tip113 to work
+ correctly.
+
+ * tests/fCmd.test
+ * win/tclWinFile.c: added some filesystem optimisation to the 'glob'
+ implementation, and some new tests.
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: fix typo in comment
+
+ * tests/winFile.test:
+ * tests/ioUtil.test:
+ * tests/unixFCmd.test: renumbered tests with duplicate numbers. [Bug
+ 710361]
+
+2003-04-10 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * doc/binary.n: Fixed typo in [binary format w] desc. [Bug 718543]
+
+2003-04-08 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_ErrorObjCmd): Strings are only empty if
+ they have zero length, not if their first byte is zero, so fix test
+ guarding Tcl_AddObjErrorInfo to take this into account. [Bug
+ reported by Don Porter; no bug-id.]
+
+2003-04-07 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileIfCmd): Corrected string limits of
+ arguments interpolated in error messages. [Bug 711371]
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TraceExecutionProc): Added missing
+ Tcl_DiscardResult() call to avoid memory leak.
+
+2003-04-07 Donal K. Fellows <zzcgudf@ernie.mvc.mcc.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclDictObj.c (Tcl_DictObjCmd): Stopped compilers from
+ moaning about switch fall-through. [Bug 716327]
+ (DictFilterCmd): Yet more warning killing, this time reported by
+ Miguel Sofer by private chat.
+
+2003-04-07 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * tests/dict.test (dict-2.6):
+ * generic/tclDictObj.c (Tcl_NewDictObj, Tcl_DbNewDictObj): Oops!
+ Failed to fully initialise the Dict structure.
+ (DictIncrCmd): Moved valueAlreadyInDictionary label to stop compiler
+ complaints. [Bug 715751]
+
+ * generic/tclDictObj.c (DictIncrCmd): Followed style in the rest of
+ the core by commenting out wide-specific operations on platforms where
+ wides are longs, and used longs more thoroughly than ints through
+ [dict incr] anyway to forestall further bugs.
+ * generic/tclObj.c: Made sure there's always a tclWideIntType
+ implementation available, not that it is always useful. [Bug 713562]
+
+2003-04-05 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclDictObj.c: Removed commented out notes on declarations to
+ be moved to elsewhere in the Tcl core.
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h: Final stages of plumbing in.
+ * generic/tclBasic.c:
+ * generic/tclObj.c (TclInitObjSubsystem):
+
+ * unix/Makefile.in, win/Makefile.in, win/makefile.[bv]c: Build support.
+ * generic/tcl.decls: Added dict public API to stubs table.
+ * generic/tcl.h (Tcl_DictSearch): Added declaration of structure to
+ allow user code to iterate over dictionaries.
+
+ * doc/DictObj.3: New files containing dictionary implementation
+ * doc/dict.n: documentation and tests as as mandated by TIP
+ * generic/tclDictObj.c: #111.
+ * tests/dict.test:
+
+2003-04-03 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/configure:
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Don't set TCL_LIBS if it is already
+ set to support use of TCL_LIBS var from tclConfig.sh in the Tk
+ configure script.
+
+2003-04-03 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/Makefile.in: Don't subst MATH_LIBS, LIBS, and DL_LIBS
+ separately. Instead, just subst TCL_LIBS since it includes the
+ others.
+ * unix/configure: Regen.
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS, SC_TCL_LINK_LIBS): Set and subst
+ TCL_LIBS in SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS instead of SC_TCL_LINK_LIBS. Don't subst
+ MATH_LIBS since it is now covered by TCL_LIBS.
+ * unix/tclConfig.sh.in: Use TCL_LIBS instead of DL_LIBS, LIBS, and
+ MATH_LIBS.
+ * unix/dltest/Makefile.in: Ditto.
+
+2003-04-03 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileReturnCmd): Now that [return]
+ compiles to INST_RETURN, it is safe to compile even outside a proc.
+
+2003-04-02 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * win/configure: Regen.
+ * win/configure.in: Set stub lib flag based on new LIBFLAGSUFFIX
+ variable.
+ * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Set new LIBFLAGSUFFIX that works like
+ LIBSUFFIX, it is used when creating library names. The previous
+ implementation would generate -ltclstub85 instead of -ltclstub85s when
+ configured with --disable-shared.
+
+2003-04-02 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclParse.c (TclSubstTokens): Moved declaration of
+ utfCharBytes to beginning of procedure so that it does not go out of
+ scope (get free()d) while append is still pointing to it. [Bugs
+ 703167, 713754]
+
+2003-04-01 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/configure: Regen.
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Check for inet_ntoa in -lbind inside

+ [Bug 713128]
+
+2003-04-01 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/README: Direct [source] of *.test files is no longer
+ recommended. The tests/*.test files should only be evaluated under the
+ control of the [runAllTests] command in tests/all.tcl.
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (INST_RETURN): Bytecompiled [return] failed to
+ reset iPtr->returnCode, causing tests parse-18.17 and parse-18.21 to
+ fail strangely.
+ * tests/parse.test (parse-18.21): Corrected now functioning test.
+ Added further coverage tests.
+
+2003-03-31 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/parse.test (parse-18.*): Coverage tests for the new
+ implementation of Tcl_SubstObj(). Note that tests parse-18.17 and
+ parse-18.21 demonstrate some bugs left to fix in the current code.
+
+2003-03-27 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/configure: Regen.
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Use -Wl,--export-dynamic instead of

+ * win/tclWinPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess): Check that the Tcl pipe dll

+ Remove HAVE_NO_ALLOC_DECL define.
+ * win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclpCheckStackSpace): Don't define alloca as a

+ _alloca function expects the size argument to be passed in a register
+ and not on the stack. To fix this problem, we use inline ASM when
+ compiling with gcc to invoke _alloca with the size argument loaded

+
+ * generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): revert finalize change on

+
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c: proper fixes for Tcl_SetObjLength and

+
+ This fixes [Bug 635200] and [Bug 671138], but may reduce performance
+ of Unicode string handling in some cases. A further patch will be

+
+2003-01-24 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * win/configure: Regen.
+ * win/configure.in: Add test to see if alloca is undefined in

+ * win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclpCheckStackSpace): Rework the SEH exception

+ off the top of the stack.
+
+2003-01-23 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

+
+ * generic/tcl.h: Revert earlier change that defined TCL_WIDE_INT_TYPE

+ now that this bug is fixed.
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h:

+ - fixed some subtle cleanup problems with tracing. This required
+ replacing Tcl_Preserve/Tcl_Release with a more robust refCount
+ approach. Solves at least one known crash caused by memory
+ corruption.
+ - fixed some confusion in the code between new style traces (Tcl
+ 8.4) and the very limited 'Tcl_CreateTrace' which existed before.
+ - made behaviour consistent with documentation (several tests even
+ contradicted the documentation before).
+ - fixed some minor error message details
+ - added a number of new tests

+
+ * generic/tclFileName.c: remove unused variable 'macSpecialCase'
+ [Bug 664749]
+
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+ * generic/tclInt.h:
+ * unix/tclUnixFile.c:
+ * mac/tclMacFile.c:
+ * win/tclWinFile.c:
+ * win/tclWinInt.h:
+ * win/tclWin32Dll.c:
+ * tests/cmdAH.test: fix to non-ascii chars in paths when setting mtime
+ and atime through 'file (a|m)time $path $time'. [Bug 634151]
+
+2003-01-08 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileReturnCmd):
+ * tests/compile.test: Corrects failure of bytecompiled [catch
+ {return}] to have result TCL_RETURN (not TCL_OK) [Bug 633204]. This
+ patch is a workaround for 8.4.X. A new opcode INST_RETURN is a better
+ long term solution for 8.5 and later.

+
+ * win/makefile.vc:
+ * win/rules.vc: Fixed INSTALLDIR macro problem that blanked itself by
+ accident causing the install target to put the tree at the root of the
+ drive built on. Whoops..
+
+ Renamed the 'linkexten' option to be 'staticpkg'. Added 'thrdalloc' to
+ allow the switching _on_ of the thread allocator. Under testing, I
+ found it not to be benificial under windows for the purpose of the
+ application I was using it for. It was more important for this app
+ that resources for tcl threads be returned to the system rather than
+ saved/moved to the global recycler. Be extra clean or extra fast for
+ the default threaded build? Let's move to clean and allow it to be
+ switched on for users who find it benificial for their use of threads.
