[Bug 1077474]. + +2004-12-02 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net> + + * generic/tclPathObj.c: fix and new tests for [Bug 1074671] to ensure + * tests/fileSystem.test: tilde paths are not returned specially by + 'glob'. + +2004-12-02 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org> + + * win/Makefile.in: Added a 'sed' in the setting of ROOT_DIR_NATIVE to + compensate for a bug in cygpath (at least version 1.36) that leaves a + trailing backslash on the end of the converted path. + +2004-12-02 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk> + + * generic/tclInterp.c (Alias,Target,Master): Rewrote these so that the + aliases that refer to an interpreter are stored in a list and not a + hashtable (which was only ever a convenience, and forced the use of a + global mutex to generate keys!) [FRQ 1077210] + * generic/tclNamesp.c (numNsCreated): Moved into thread-local storage + to remove a global mutex. [FRQ 1077210] + +2004-12-01 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net> + + * generic/tclUtil.c (TclGetProcessGlobalValue): Narrowed the scope of + mutex locks. + + * generic/tclUtil.c: Updated Tcl_GetNameOfExecutable() to + * generic/tclEncoding.c: make use of a ProcessGlobalValue for + * generic/tclEvent.c: storing the executable name. Added + internal routines Tcl(Get|Set)ObjNameOfExecutable() to access that + storage in Tcl_Obj, rather than string format. + + * unix/tclUnixFile.c: Rewrote TclpFindExecutable() to use + * win/tclWinFile.c: TclSetObjNameOfExecutable to store the + executable name it computes. + + * generic/tclInt.h: Added internal stub entries for + * generic/tclInt.decls: TclpFindExecutable and + Tcl(Get|Set)ObjNameOfExecutable. + + * generic/tclIntDecls.h: make genstubs + * generic/tclStubInit.c: + + * generic/tclCmdIL.c: Retrieve executable name in Tcl_Obj form + * win/tclWinPipe.c: instead of string form. + + * unix/tclUnixTest.c: Update [testfindexecutable] command to use new + internal interfaces. + + * generic/tclEncoding.c: Moved TclpSetInitialEncodings() call + from Tcl_FindExecutable() into TclInitEncodingSubsystem(). This is + important on Windows where it establishes whether the "ascii" or + "unicode" set of system routines will be used, and that needs to be + done earlier to support filesystem operations. [Bug 1077005] + +2004-12-01 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk> + + * tests/winDde.test: Rewritten to use tcltest2 features more + thoroughly (reducing the [catch] count!) and fix the problem with + winDde-6.1 being out of synch with the implementation. + +2004-11-30 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net> + + * library/init.tcl ([unknown]): Restored the save/restore of the + variables ::errorCode and ::errorInfo. This is needed when the + [::bgerror] command is auto-loaded (as it is by Tk). + + Patch 976520 reworks several of the details involved with + startup/initialization of the Tcl library, focused on the activities + of Tcl_FindExecutable(). + + * generic/tclIO.c: Removed bogus claim in comment that encoding + "iso8859-1" is "built-in" to Tcl. + + * generic/tclInt.h: Created a new struct ProcessGlobalValue, + * generic/tclUtil.c: routines Tcl(Get|Set)ProcessGlobalValue, and + function type TclInitProcessGlobalValueProc. Together, these take care + of the housekeeping for "values" (things that can be held in a + Tcl_Obj) that are global across a whole process. That is, they are + shared among multiple threads, and epoch and mutex protection must + govern the validity of cached copies maintained in each thread. + + * generic/tclNotify.c: Modified TclInitNotifier() to tolerate being + called multiple times in the same thread. + * generic/tclEvent.c: Dropped the unused argv0 argument to + TclInitSubsystems(). Removed machinery to unsure only one + TclInitNotifier() call per thread, now that that is safe. Converted + Tcl(Get|Set)LibraryPath to use a ProcessGlobalValue, and moved them to + tclEncoding.c. + * generic/tclBasic.c: Updated caller. + + * generic/tclInt.h: TclpFindExecutable now returns void. + * unix/tclUnixFile.c: + * win/tclWinFile.c: + * win/tclWinPipe.c: + + * generic/tclEncoding.c: Built new encoding search initialization on a + foundation of ProcessGlobalValues, exposing new routines + Tcl(Get|Set)EncodingSearchPath. A cache of a map from encoding name to + directory pathname keeps track of where encodings are available for + loading. Tcl_FindExecutable greatly simplified into just three + function calls. The "library path" is now misnamed, as its only + remaining purpose is as a foundation for the default encoding search + path. + + * generic/tclInterp.c: Inlined the initScript that is evaluated by + Tcl_Init(). Added verification after initScript evaluation that Tcl + can find its installed *.enc files, and that it has initialized + [encoding system] in agreement with what the environment expects. + [tclInit] no longer driven by the value of $::tcl_libPath; it largely + constructs its own search path now, rather than attempt to share one + with the encoding system. + + * unix/tclUnixInit.c: TclpSetInitialEncodings factored so that a new + * win/tclWinInit.c: routine TclpGetEncodingNameFromEnvironment can + reveal that Tcl thinks the [encoding system] should be, even when an + incomplete encoding search path, or a missing *.enc file won't allow + that initialization to succeed. TclpInitLibraryPath reworked as an + initializer of a ProcessGlobalValue. + + * unix/tclUnixTest.c: Update implementations of [testfindexecutable], + [testgetdefenc], and [testsetdefenc]. + + * tests/unixInit.test: Corrected tests to operate properly even when + a value of TCL_LIBRARY is required to find encodings. + + * generic/tclInt.decls: New internal stubs: TclGetEncodingSearchPath, + TclSetEncodingSearchPath, TclpGetEncodingNameFromEnvironment. These + are candidates for public exposure by future TIPs. + + * generic/tclIntDecls.h: make genstubs + * generic/tclStubInit.c: + + * generic/tclTest.c: Updated [testencoding] to use + * tests/encoding.test: Tcl(Get|Set)EncodingSearchPath. Updated tests. + +2004-11-30 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org> + + * library/clock.tcl: Corrected the regular expressions that match a + time zone to allow for time zones specified as +HH or -HH. + * tests/clock.test: Added regression test case for the above issue. + Thanks to Rolf Ade for reporting this issue [http://wiki.tcl.tk/13094] + * win/tclWinDde.c (Tcl_DdeObjCmd): Corrected a typo that caused a + compilation failure on VC++. + +2004-11-29 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com> + + * win/Makefile.in (install-libraries): Brought entry '2004-10-26 Don + Porter (Tcl Modules)' into the windows world, actually the + win/configure buildsystem. The other windows buildsystems (.vc, .bc) + still have to be updated as well. + +2004-11-26 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com> + + * win/tclWinDde.c (ExecuteRemoteObject): Removed bogus semicolon found + at the end of the header for the function definition, terminating it + early and preventing a compile. This is likely a fix for '2004-11-25 + Donal'. I have to conclude that it is also unknown if the other + changes to this file actually pass the testsuite. Running testsuite + ... They don't. winDde-6.1 fails. This is only a message discrepance, + i.e. not too bad. Leaving resolution of that to Pat and Donal. + +2004-11-26 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net> + + * library/auto.tcl (tcl_findLibrary): Made sure the uniquifying + operations on the search path does not also normalize. [Bug 1072136] + +2004-11-26 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk> + + * unix/configure.in: Simplify the code to check for correctness of + strstr, strtoul and strtod. + * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_TCL_CHECK_BROKEN_FUNC): Split a complex stanza out + of configure.in into its own function. Also force it to do the right + thing with cacheing of results of AC_TRY_RUN to deal with issue raised + in [Patch 1073524] + + * doc/foreach.n: Added simple example. [FRQ 1073334] + +2004-11-25 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk> + + * generic/tclProc.c (TclObjInterpProc): Make it so that only + * generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_WrongNumArgs): [proc] instances do + * tests/indexObj.test (indexObj-5.7): quoting of their first + arguments, so keeping [Bug 942757] fixed and making [Bug 1066837] be + fixed as well. Done with a load of #ifdef-ery because this hack is so + ugly nobody should keep it around once Itcl's fixed. + +2004-11-25 Reinhard Max <max@suse.de> + + * tests/tcltest.test: The order in which [glob] returns the file names + is undefined, so tests should not depend on it. + +2004-11-25 Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net> + + * doc/Thread.3: + * doc/Notifier.3: Added changes from the core-8-4-branch + +2004-11-25 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk> + + * doc/dde.n: Synchronized the documentation of the commands with the + header of the docs and what the package actually does. Thanks to + Andreas Kupries for spotting this. + * win/tclWinDde.c (Tcl_DdeObjCmd): Much cleanup of argument parsing + code. + +2004-11-24 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com> + + * generic/tclPort.h: Relative include of tclWinPort.h returned as it + was requiring me set -I$(tcl_root)/win for my extensions that need to + include tclInt.h and doesn't appear to serve any purpose for windows + builds. + +2004-11-24 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org> + + * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_THREADS): Corrected bad check for 3-argument + readdir_r [Bug 1001325]. + * unix/configure: Regenerated. + * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: Corrected all uses of 'select' to manage their + masks using the FD_CLR, FD_ISSET, FD_SET, and FD_ZERO macros rather + than bit-whacking that failed under Solaris-Sparc-64. [Bug 1071807] + * win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): Removed unused vars 'pathc' + and 'pathv' that caused compilation problems on VC++ with + --enable-symbols. + +2004-11-24 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net> + + * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_THREADS): Corrected failure to determine the + number of arguments for readdir_r on SunOS systems.

Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk> + + * tools/man2html.tcl, tools/man2html1.tcl: Update to use Tcl 8.4. + * tools/man2html2.tcl: Fix broken .SS handling. + +2004-11-23 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk> + + * unix/Makefile.in: Add (commented-out) code to integrate tclConfig.h + into the dependency tree and 'make distclean'. [Bug 1068171] + + * generic/tclResult.c (Tcl_AppendResultVA): Remove call to + Tcl_GetStringResult to speed up repeated calls to Tcl_AppendResult + with the side effect that code that wants to access interp->result + should always call Tcl_GetStringResult first.
