- * generic/tclZlib.c (Tcl_ZlibStreamGet): Corrected the semantics of
- this function to be useful to the PNG implementation. If the argument
- object is empty, this gives the previous semantics.
- (Tcl_ZlibStreamChecksum): Corrected name to be less misleading; it
- only produced Adler-32 checksums when the stream was processing the

- (Tcl_ZlibAdler32, Tcl_ZlibCRC32): Corrected types so that they work

- * win/Makefile.in: Renamed the static library libtcl86s.a to
- * win/configure.in: have a name distinct from the import library
- libtcl86.a. This renaming dodges an ancient
- bug in the Makefile revealed by the last
- commit where the $(TCL_LIB_FILE) rule can
- fire to try to build the static library in a
- --enable-shared build (and create a static
- library that subsequently fails to link).
- Revised the zlib objects so that they are
- built directly into the build dir, without
- building an intermediate static library.
- *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** for
- embedders who link to the static library, but
- I couldn't figure out how to sort this out
- any other way.

- that it is more robust and runs the constructor call in the context of

- previously used code did not work at all after applying the fix below;
- no Tcl existing command could reliably do what was needed any more.
-
- * generic/tclOODefineCmds.c (GetClassInOuterContext): Rework and
- factor out the code to resolve class names in definitions so that
- classes are resolved from the perspective of the caller of the
- [oo::define] command, rather than from the oo::define namespace! This
- makes much code simpler by reducing how often fully-qualified names

- issue, and it has the good feature of "identity" that we must have

- *** 8.6a2 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
-
- * changes: Updates for 8.6a2 release.

- indirection without value. Use -DCONST86="" to engage source compat
- support for code written for 8.5 headers.
-
- * generic/tclUtil.c (TclReToGlob): Added missing set of the

- code compatibility with Tcl 8.5 on those public routines passing
- (Tcl_Filesystem *), (Tcl_Timer *), and (Tcl_Objtype *) values which

-
- * library/tm.tcl: Added a 'package provide' command to the generated
- ifneeded scripts of Tcl Modules, for early detection of conflicts
- between the version specified through the file name and a 'provide'
- command in the module implementation, if any. Note that this change
- also now allows Tcl Modules to not provide a 'provide' command at all,
- and declaring their version only through their filename.
-
- * generic/tclProc.c (Tcl_ProcObjCmd): Fixed memory leak triggered by

-
-2008-08-06 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclOO.c: Revised TclOO's check for an interp being
- deleted during handling of object command deletion. The old code was
- relying on documented features of command delete traces that do not in
- fact work. [Bug 2039178]
-
- * tests/oo.test (oo-26.*): Added tests that demonstrate failure
- of TclOO to check for various kinds of invalid bytecode during method
- dispatch. [Bug 2037727]
-
-2008-08-06 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
- * generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupSimpleVar): Fix bug that the core could
- not trigger before TclOO: the number of locals was being read from the
- Proc, which can under some circumstance be out of sync with the
- localCache's. Found by dgp while investigating [Bug 2037727].
-
- * library/init.tcl (::unknown): Removed the [namespace inscope]
- hack that was maintained for Itcl
-
- *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** for Itcl
- Itcl users will need a new release with Itcl's [Patch 2040295], or
- else load the tiny script in that patch by themselves (rewrite
- ::unknown). Note that it is a script-only patch.

- * doc/Exit.3: Do not call Tcl_Finalize implicitly
- * generic/tclEvent.c: on DLL_PROCESS_DETACH as it may lead
- * win/tclWin32Dll.c (DllMain): to issues and the user should be
- explicitly calling Tcl_Finalize before unloading regardless. Clarify
- the docs to note the explicit need in embedded use.
-
-2008-08-01 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclBasic.c: Revised timing of the CmdFrame stack
- * tests/info.test: management in TclEvalEx so that the CmdFrame
- will still be on the stack at the time Tcl_LogCommandInfo is called to
- append another level of -errorinfo information. Sets the stage to add
- file and line data to the stack trace. Added test to check that [info
- frame] functioning remains unchanged by the revision.
-
-2008-07-31 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
- * tests/NRE.test: Replaced all deep-recursing tests by shallower
- tests that actually measure the C-stack depth. This makes them
- bearable again (even under memdebug) and avoid crashing on failure.
-
- * generic/tclBasic.c: NR-enabling [catch], [if] and [for] and

-
- * tests/NRE.test: New tests that went MIA in the NRE revamping
-
- * generic/tclBasic.c: Clean up
- * generic/tclNRE.h:
- * generic/tclExecute.c:
-
- * generic/tclBasic.c: Made use of the thread's alloc cache stored in
- * generic/tclInt.h: the ekeko at interp creation to avoid hitting
- * generic/tclNRE.h: the TSD each time an NRE callback is pushed or
- * generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: pulled; the approach is suitably general
- to extend to every other obj allocation where an interp is know; this
- is left for some other time, requires a lot of grunt work.
-
- * generic/tclExecute.c: Fix [Bug 2030670] that cause TclStackRealloc
- to panic on rare corner cases. Thx ajpasadyn for diagnose and patch.
-
- * generic/tcl.decls: Completely revamped NRE implementation, with
- * generic/tclBasic.c: (almost) unchanged API.
- * generic/tclCompile.h:
- * generic/tclExecute.c: TEBC will require a bit of a facelift, but
- * generic/tclInt.decls: TEOV at least looks great now. There are new
- * generic/tclInt.h: tests (incomplete!) to verify that execution
- * generic/tclInterp.c: is indeed in the same TEBC instance, at the
- * generic/tclNRE.h: same level in all stacks involved. Tailcalls
- * generic/tclNamesp.c: are still a bit leaky, still deserving to be
- * generic/tclOOBasic.c: in tcl::unsupported.
- * generic/tclOOMethod.c:
- * generic/tclProc.c: Uninit'd var warnings in TEBC with -O2, no
- * generic/tclTest.c: warnings otherwise.
-
-2008-07-28 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
-
- * doc/FileSystem.3: CONSTified many functions using
- * generic/tcl.decls: Tcl_FileSystem which all are supposed
- * generic/tclDecls.h: to be a constant, but this was not
- * generic/tclFileSystem.h: reflected in the API: Tcl_FSData,
- * generic/tclIOUtil.c: Tcl_FSGetInternalRep, Tcl_FSRegister,
- * generic/tclPathObj.c: Tcl_FSNewNativePath, Tcl_FSUnregister,
- * generic/tclTest.c: Tcl_FSGetFileSystemForPath ...
- This change complies with TIP #27.
- ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
-
-2008-07-28 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
- * generic/tclBasic.c: Added missing ref count when creating an empty
- string as path (TclEvalEx). In 8.4 the missing code caused panics in
- the testsuite. It doesn't in 8.5. I am guessing that the code path
- with the missing the incr-refcount is not invoked any longer. Because
- the bug in itself is certainly the same.
-
-2008-07-27 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
- * generic/tclOOMethod.c (PushMethodCallFrame): Remove hack that should
- have gone when this code was merged into Tcl.
-
-2008-07-27 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
-
- * doc/Object.3: CONSTified 3 functions using Tcl_ObjType
- * doc/ObjectType.3: which all are supposed to be a constant, but
- * generic/tcl.decls: this was not reflected in the API:
- * generic/tcl.h: Tcl_RegisterObjType, Tcl_ConvertToType,
- * generic/tclDecls.h: Tcl_GetObjType
- * generic/tclObj.c: Introduced a CONST86_RETURN, so extensions
- * generic/tclCompCmds.c: which use Tcl_ObjType directly can be
- * generic/tclOOMethod.c: modified to compile against both Tcl 8.5 and
- * generic/tclTestobj.c: Tcl 8.6. tclDecls.h regenerated
- This change complies with TIP #27.
- ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
-
-2008-07-25 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
- * test/info.test: More work on singleTestInterp usability. [1605269]
-
- * tests/info.test: Tests 38.* added, exactly testing the tracking of
- location for uplevel scripts. Resolved merge conflict on info-37.0,
- switched !singleTestInterp constraint to glob matching instead. Ditto
- info-22.8, removed constraint, more glob matching, and reduced the
- depth of the stack we check. More is coming, right now I want to
- commit the bug fixes.
-
- * tests/oo.test: Updated oo-22.1 for expanded location tracking.
-
- * generic/tclCompile.c (TclInitCompileEnv): Reorganized the
- initialization of the #280 location information to match the flow in
- TclEvalObjEx to get more absolute contexts.
-
- * generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalObjEx): Added missing cleanup of extended
- location information.
-
-2008-07-25 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * tests/info.test (info-37.0): Add !singleTestInterp constraint;
- (info-22.8, info-23.0): switch to glob matching to avoid sensitivity
- to tcltest.tcl line number changes, remove knownBug constraint, fix
- expected result. [Bug 1605269]
-
-2008-07-24 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
-
- * doc/Notifier.3: CONSTified 4 functions in the Notifier which
- * doc/Thread.3: all have a Tcl_Time* in it which is supposed
- * generic/tcl.decls: to be a constant, but this was not reflected
- * generic/tcl.h: reflected in the API:
- * generic/tclDecls.h: Tcl_SetTimer, Tcl_WaitForEvent,
- * generic/tclNotify.c: Tcl_ConditionWait, Tcl_SetMaxBlockTime
- * macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c:
- * generic/tclThread.c: Introduced a CONST86, so extensions which have
- * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: have their own Notifier (are there any?) can
- * unix/tclUnixThrd.c: can be modified to compile against both Tcl
- * win/tclWinNotify.c: Tcl 8.5 and Tcl 8.6
- * win/tclWinThrd.c: Regenerated tclDecls.h with "make stubs".
- This change complies with TIP #27
- ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***

-2008-07-23 Alexandre Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * tests/lrange.test: Added relative speed test to check for lrange
- in-place optimization committed 2008-06-30.
- * tests/binary.test: Added relative speed test to check for pure byte
- array CONCAT1 optimization committed 2008-06-30.
-
-2008-07-23 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
- * tests/info.test: Reordered the tests to have monotonously increasing
- numbers.
-
- * generic/tclBasic.c: Modified TclArgumentGet to reject pure lists
- * generic/tclCmdIL.c: immediately, without search. Reworked setup of
- * generic/tclCompile.c: eoFramePtr, doesn't need the line information,
- * tests/info.test: more sensible to have everything on line 1 when
- eval'ing a pure list. Updated the users of the line information to
- special case this based on the frame type (i.e.
- TCL_LOCATION_EVAL_LIST). Added a testcase demonstrating the new
- behaviour.
-
-2008-07-23 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
- * generic/tclBasic.c (GetCommandSource): Added comment with
- explanation and warning for waintainers.
-
-2008-07-22 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
- * generic/tclCompile.c: Made the new TclEnterCmdWordIndex static, and
- * generic/tclCompile.h: ansified.
-
- * generic/tclBasic.c: Ansified the new functions. Added missing
- function comments.
-
- * generic/tclBasic.c: Reworked the handling of bytecode literals for
- * generic/tclCompile.c: #280 to fix the abysmal performance for deep
- * generic/tclCompile.h: recursion, replaced the linear search through
- * generic/tclExecute.c: the whole stack with another hashtable and
- * generic/tclInt.h: simplified the data structure used by the compiler
- by using an array instead of a hashtable. Incidentially this also
- fixes the memory leak reported via [Bug 2024937].
-
-2008-07-22 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
- * generic/tclBasic.c: Added numLevels field to CommandFrame, let

-
-2008-07-21 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
- * generic/tclBasic.c: Extended the existing TIP #280 system (info
- * generic/tclCmdAH.c: frame), added the ability to track the absolute
- * generic/tclCompCmds.c: location of literal procedure arguments, and
- * generic/tclCompile.c: making this information available to uplevel
- * generic/tclCompile.h: eval, and siblings. This allows proper
- * generic/tclInterp.c: tracking of absolute location through custom
- * generic/tclInt.h: (Tcl-coded) control structures based on uplevel,
- * generic/tclNamesp.c: etc.

-
- * generic/tcl.decls: Changed the implementation of
- * generic/tclBasic.c: [namespace import]; removed
- * generic/tclDecls.h: Tcl_NRObjProc, replaced with
- * generic/tclExecute.c: Tcl_NRCmdSwap (proposed public

- dkf's commit earlier today.
-
-2008-07-20 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
- * generic/tclDictObj.c (SetDictFromAny): Make the list->dict
- transformation a bit more efficient; modern dicts are ordered and so
- we can round-trip through lists without needing the string rep at all.
- * generic/tclListObj.c (SetListFromAny): Make the dict->list
- transformation not lossy of internal representations and hence more
- efficient. [Bug 2008248] (ajpasadyn) but using a more efficient patch.
-
- * tests/fileName.test: Revise to reduce the obscurity of tests. In
- particular, all tests should now produce informative messages on
- failure and the quantity of [catch]-based obscurity is now greatly
- reduced; non-erroring is now checked for directly.
-
-2008-07-19 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
- * tests/env.test: Add LANG to the list of variables that are not
- touched by the environment variable tests, so that subprocesses can
- get their system encoding correct.
-
- * tests/exec.test, tests/env.test: Rewrite so that non-ASCII
- characters are not used in the final comparison. Part of fixing [Bug
- 1513659].

- implementations can now be NRE-aware if they choose (which normal
- methods and forwards are). On the other hand, callers of
- TclOOInvokeObject (which is only in the internal stub table) will need

-2008-07-03 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * library/package.tcl: Removed [file readable] testing from
- [tclPkgUnknown] and friends. We find out soon enough whether a file is

-
- * generic/tclPathObj.c: Fixed bug in Tcl_GetTranslatedPath() when
- operating on the "Special path" variant of the "path" Tcl_ObjType
- intrep. A full normalization was getting done, in particular, coercing
- relative paths to absolute, contrary to what the function of producing

-2008-06-17 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
-
- * generic/tclClock.c (ConvertLocalToUTC):

-
-2008-06-16 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
- * generic/tclCmdIL.c (TclInfoFrame): Moved the code looking up the
- * tests/info.test: information for key 'proc' out of the
- TCL_LOCATION_BC branch to after the switch, this is common to all
- frame types. Updated the testsuite to match. This was exposed by the
- 2008-06-08 commit (Miguel), switching uplevel from direct eval to
- compilation. [Bug 1987851]
-
-2008-06-16 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
- * tests/ioTrans.test (iortrans-11.*): Fixed same issue as for

-2008-06-13 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-
- * win/rules.vc: SYMBOLS macro is now being set to zero when $(OPTS) is

-
- TIP #285 IMPLEMENTATION
-
- * doc/Eval.3: Added documentation for the Tcl_CancelEval and
- Tcl_Canceled functions and the TCL_CANCEL_UNWIND flag bit.
- * doc/after.n: Corrected the spelling of 'canceled' in the
- documentation.
- * doc/interp.n: Added documentation for [interp cancel].
- * generic/tcl.decls: Added the Tcl_CancelEval and Tcl_Canceled
- functions to the stubs table.
- * generic/tcl.h: Added the TCL_CANCEL_UNWIND flag bit.
- * generic/tclBasic.c: The bulk of the script cancellation
- functionality is defined here. Added code to initialize and manage the
- script cancellation hash table in a thread-safe manner. Reset script
- cancellation flags prior to increasing the nesting level (if the
- nesting level is currently zero) and always cooperatively check for
- script cancellation near the start of TclEvalObjvInternal and after
- invoking async handlers.
- * generic/tclDecls.h: Regenerated.
- * generic/tclEvent.c: Call TclFinalizeEvaluation during finalization
- to cleanup the script cancellation hash table. During [vwait], always
- cooperatively check for script cancellation. Corrected the spelling of
- 'canceled' in comments to be consistent with the documentation.
- * generic/tclExecute.c: Reset script cancellation flags prior to
- increasing the nesting level (if the nesting level is currently zero)
- and always cooperatively check for script cancellation after invoking
- async handlers. Prevent [catch] from catching script cancellation when
- the TCL_CANCEL_UNWIND flag is set (similar to the manner used by TIP
- 143 when a limit has been exceeded).
- * generic/tclInt.decls: Added TclResetCancellation to the internal
- stubs table.
- * generic/tclInt.h: Added asyncCancel and asyncCancelMsg fields to the
- private Interp structure. Added private interp flag value CANCELED to

- subcommand.
- * generic/tclNotify.c (Tcl_DeleteEventSource): Corrected the spelling
- of 'canceled' in comments to be consistent with the documentation.
- * generic/tclParse.c: Reset script cancellation flags prior to
- * generic/tclProc.c: increasing the nesting level (if the nesting
- level is currently zero) and cooperatively check for script
- cancellation prior to evaluating commands.
- * generic/tclStubInit.c: Regenerated.
- * generic/tclThreadTest.c (Tcl_ThreadObjCmd): Added script
- cancellation support ([testthread cancel]).
- Modified [testthread id] to allow querying of the 'main' thread ID.
- Corrected comments to reflect the actual command syntax. Made
- [testthread wait] cooperatively check for script cancellation. Added
- [testthread event] to allow for processing one pending event without
- blocking.
- * generic/tclTimer.c: Delay for a maximum of 500 milliseconds prior to
- checking for async handlers and script cancellation.
- * tests/cmdAH.test: Changed [interp c] to [interp create].
- * tests/interp.test: Added and fixed tests for [interp cancel].
- * tests/thread.test: Added tests for script cancellation via
- [testthread cancel].
- * tools/man2help2.tcl: Fixed problems with WinHelp target (see
- * tools/man2tcl.c: [Bug 1934200], [Bug 1934265], and [Bug 1934272]).
- * win/makefile.vc: Added 'pdbs' option for Windows build rules to
- * win/rules.vc: allow for non-debug builds with full symbols.
- * win/tcl.hpj.in: Corrected version for WinHelp target.
- * win/tclWinNotify.c: Used SleepEx and WaitForSingleObjectEx on
- * win/tclWinThrd.c: Windows because they are alertable.
-
-2008-06-12 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * unix/Makefile.in: Add complete deps on tclDTrace.h.
-
- * generic/tclOO.c: Use TclOOStubs hooks field to retrieve

-
- * tests/ioTrans.test (iortrans.tf-6.1): Fixed the [Bug 1988552],
- reported by Kevin. Have to close the channel before removal of the
- file. Fixed same bug in test 'iortrans.tf-11.0', after fixing missing
- cleanup of the file in 'iortrans.tf-11.*'. Lastly fixed the names of
- the threaded tests 'iortrans-8.*' to the correct 'iortrans.tf-8.*'.
-
-2008-06-09 Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclIORTrans.c (ReflectInput): Fixed a bug triggered by Pat
- Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>. Reset the EOF flag after
- draining the Tcl level into the result buffer, to make sure that the
- result buffer will be drained as well by repeated calls to
- ReflectInput should it contain more than one buffer-full of data.
- Without that reset the higher I/O system will not call on ReflectInput
- anymore due to the assumed EOF, thus losing the data which did not fit
- in the buffer of the call which caused the eof and drain.
-
-2008-06-09 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
- * generic/tclOOCall.c (TclOOGetSortedMethodList): Plug memory leak
- that occurred when all methods were hidden. [Bug 1987817]
-
-2008-06-08 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
- * generic/tclBasic.c: Compilation of uplevel scripts, allow
- * generic/tclCompCmds.c: non-body compiled scripts to access the
- * generic/tclCompile.c: LVT (but not to extend it) and enable the
- * generic/tclCompile.h: canonical list opt to sidestep the
- * generic/tclExecute.c: compiler. [Patch 1973096]

- * generic/tclIORTrans.c: Implementation of the reflection transforms.
- * tests/chan.test: Tests updated for new sub-commands of 'chan'.
- * tests/ioCmd.test: Tests updated for new sub-commands of 'chan'.

- * unix/Makefile.in: Integration of new files into build rules.
- * win/Makefile.in: Integration of new files into build rules.
- * win/makefile.vc: Integration of new files into build rules.
-
- NOTE: The file 'tclIORTrans.c' has a lot of code in common with the
- file 'tclIORChan.c', as that made it much easier to develop the
- reference implementation as a separate module. Now that the
- transforms have been committed the one thing left to do is to go
- over both modules and see which of the common parts we can
- factor out and share.

- class command. [Bug 1981001]
-
-2008-06-01 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
- * generic/tclOOMethod.c (Tcl_NewMethod): Complete the fix of [Bug

-
- * generic/tclParse.c (ParseComment): The new TclParseAllWhiteSpace
- * tests/parse.test (parse-15.60): routine has no mechanism to
- return the "incomplete" status of "\\\n" so calling this routine

-2008-05-20 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
- * generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_SetNamespaceUnknownHandler): Corrected odd

- * generic/tcl.h: Make Tcl_ThreadDataKey a void *.
- * generic/tclInt.h: Change around some function names and add some
- new per-platform declarations for thread-specific data functions.
- * generic/tclThread.c: Make use of of the new function names that no
- longer have a Tclp prefix.
- * generic/tclThreadStorage.c: Replace the core thread-specific data
- (TSD) mechanism with an array offset solution that eliminates the hash
- tables, and only uses one slot of native TSD. Many thanks to Kevin B.
- Kenny for his help with this.
-
- * unix/tclUnixThrd.c: Add platform-specific TSD functions for use by
- * win/tclWinThrd.c: tclThreadStorage.c.
-
-2008-05-09 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
-
- * tests/dict.test (dict-19.2): Corrected a bug where the test was
- changed to use [apply] instead of a temporary proc, but the cleanup
- script still attempted to delete the temporary proc.
-
-2008-05-07 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@cspool38.cs.man.ac.uk>
-
- * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictAppendCmd): Fix silly off-by
- one error that caused a crash every time a compiled 'dict append' with
- more than one argument was used. Found by Colin McCormack.
-
-2008-05-02 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclBasic.c: Converted the [binary] command into an
- * generic/tclBinary.c: ensemble.
- * generic/tclInt.h:
- * test/binary.test: Updated the error tests for ensemble errors.
-
- * generic/tclFileName.c: Reverted accidental commit of TIP 316 APIs.
-
-2008-04-27 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
- * */*.c: A large tranche of getting rid of pre-C89-isms; if your
- compiler doesn't support things like proper function declarations,
- 'void' and 'const', borrow a proper one when building Tcl. (The header
- files allow building things that link against Tcl with really ancient
- compilers still; the requirement is just when building Tcl itself.)
-
-2008-04-26 Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclAsync.c: Tcl_AsyncDelete(): panic if attempt to locate
- handler token fails. Happens when some other thread attempts to delete
- somebody else's token.
-
- Also, panic early if we find out the wrong thread attempting to delete
- the async handler (common trap). As, only the one that created the
- handler is allowed to delete it.
-
-2008-04-24 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
- * tests/ioCmd.test: Extended testsuite for reflected channel
- implementation. Added test cases about how it handles if the rug is
- pulled out from under a channel (= killing threads, interpreters
- containing the tcl command for a channel, and channel sitting in a
- different interpreter/thread.)
-
- * generic/tclIORChan.c: Fixed the bugs exposed by the new testcases,
- redone most of the cleanup and exit handling.
-
-2008-04-21 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclIOUtil.c: Removed all code delimited by
- * generic/tclTest.c: USE_OBSOLETE_FS_HOOKS, completing
- * tests/ioCmd.test: the deprecation path for these
- * tests/ioUtil.test (removed): obsolete interfaces. (Code was active
- in Tcl 8.4, present but enabled only by customized compile switch in
- Tcl 8.5, and now completely gone for Tcl 8.6). Also removed all tests
- relevant only to the removed interfaces.
-
-2008-04-19 George Peter Staplin <georgeps@xmission.com>
-
- * doc/Ensemble.3: Fix a typo: s/defiend/defined/
- Thanks to hat0 for spotting this.
-
-2008-04-16 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclInt.h: Make stubs tables 'static const' and
- * generic/tclStubInit.c: export only module-scope pointers to
- * generic/tclStubLib.c: the main stubs tables (for package
- * tools/genStubs.tcl: initialization). [Patch 1938497]
- * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp):
- * generic/tclTomMathInterface.c (TclTommath_Init):
-
- * generic/tclInt.h: Revise Tcl_SetNotifier() to use a
- * generic/tclNotify.c: module-scope hooks table instead of
- * generic/tclStubInit.c: runtime stubs-table modification;
- * macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: ensure all hookable notifier functions
- * win/tclWinNotify.c: check for hooks; remove hook checks in
- * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: notifier API callers. [Patch 1938497]
-
-2008-04-15 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
- * generic/tclIO.c (CopyData): Applied another patch by Alexandre
- * io.test (io-53.8a): Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sf.net>,
- * chanio.test (chan-io-53.8a): to shift EOF handling to the async
- part of the command if a callback is specified, should the channel be
- at EOF already when fcopy is called. Testcase by myself.
-
-2008-04-15 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * unix/Makefile.in: Adjust tclDTrace.h dependencies for removal
- of tclStubLib.o from TCL_OBJS. [Bug 1942795]
-
-2008-04-14 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
-
- * unix/tclUnixTime.c (NativeGetTime): Removed obsolete use of
- 'struct timezone' in the call to 'gettimeofday'. [Bug 1942197]
-
- * tests/clock.test (clock-33.5, clock-33.5a, clock-33.8, clock-33.8a):
- Added comments to the test that it can fail on a heavily loaded
- system.
-
-2008-04-10 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
- * generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_FcopyObjCmd): Keeping check for negative
- values, changed to not be an error, but behave like the special value
- -1 (copy all, default).
-
- * tests/iocmd.test (iocmd-15.{12,13}): Removed.
-
- * tests/io.test (io-52.5{,a,b}): Reverted last change, added
- * tests/chanio.test (chan-io-52.5{,a,b}): comment regarding the
- meaning of -1, added two more testcases for other negative values,
- and input wrapped to negative.
-
-2008-04-09 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
- * tests/{fCmd,unixFCmd,winFCmd,winFile}.test: Tidying up of the test
- suite to make better use of tcltest2 and be clearer about what is
- being tested.
-
- * win/Makefile.in (html): Added target for doing convenient
- documentation builds, mirroring the one from unix/Makefile.
-
-2008-04-09 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
- * tests/chanio.test (chan-io-52.5): Removed '-size -1' from test,
- * tests/io.test (io-52.5): does not seem to have any bearing, and was
- an illegal value. Test case is not affected by the value of -size,
- test flag restoration and that evrything was properly copied.
-
- * generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_FcopyObjCmd): Added checking of -size value
- * tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-15.{13,14}): to reject negative values, and
- values overflowing 32-bit signed. Basic patch by Alexandre Ferrieux
- <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>, with modifications from me to
- separate overflow from true negative value. Extended testsuite. [Bug
- 1557855]
-
-2008-04-09 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * tests/chanio.test (chan-io-53.8,53.9,53.10): Fix typo & quoting for
- * tests/io.test (io-53.8,53.9,53.10): spaces in builddir path
-
-2008-04-08 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
- * generic/tclExecute.c: Added comments to the alignment macros used in
- GrowEvaluationStack() and friends.
-
-2008-04-08 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * tools/genStubs.tcl: Revert erroneous 2008-04-02 change marking
- *StubsPtr as EXTERN instead of extern.
-
- * generic/tclDecls.h: make genstubs
- * generic/tclIntDecls.h:
- * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
- * generic/tclPlatDecls.h:
- * generic/tclTomMathDecls.h:
-
-2008-04-07 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
- * tests/io.test (io-53.10): Testcase for bi-directional fcopy.
- * tests/chanio.test:
- * generic/tclIO.c: Additional changes to data structures for fcopy and
- * generic/tclIO.h: channels to perform proper cleanup in case of a
- channel having two background copy operations running as is now
- possible.
-
- * generic/tclIO.c (BUSY_STATE, CheckChannelErrors, TclCopyChannel):
- New macro, and the places using it. This change allows for
- bi-directional fcopy on channels. Thanks to Alexandre Ferrieux
- <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net> for the patch. [Bug 1350564]
-
-2008-04-07 Reinhard Max <max@suse.de>
-
- * generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_AppendFormatToObj): Fix [format {% d}]
- so that it behaves the same way as in 8.4 and as C's printf().
- * tests/format.test: Add a test for '% d' and '%+d'.
-
-2008-04-05 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
-
- * win/tclWinFile.c: (WinSymLinkDirectory): Fixed a problem that Tcl
- was creating an NTFS junction point (IO_REPARSE_TAG_MOUNT_POINT) but
- filling in the union member for a Vista symbolic link. We had gotten
- away with this error because the union member
- (SymbolicLinkReparseBuffer) was misdefined in this file and in the
- 'winnt.h' in early versions of MinGW. MinGW 3.4.2 has the correct
- definition of SymbolicLinkReparseBuffer, exposing the mismatch, and
- making tests cmdAH-19.4.1, fCmd-28.*, and filename-11.* fail.
- * tests/chanio.test (chan-io-53.9):
- * tests/io.test (io-53.9): Made test cleanup robust against the
- possibility of slow process shutdown on Windows.
-
- * win/tcl.m4: Added -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE and
- -DCRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE to the MSVC compilation flags so that the
- compilation doesn't barf on perfectly reasonable Posix system calls.
- * win/configure: Manually patched (don't have the right autoconf to
- hand).
-
-2008-04-04 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
- * tests/io.test (io-53.9): Added testcase for [Bug 780533], based
- * tests/chanio.test: on Alexandre's test script. Also fixed problem
- with timer in preceding test, was not canceled properly in the ok case
-
-2008-04-04 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
- * generic/tclIORChan.c (ReflectOutput): Allow zero return from write
- when input was zero-length anyway. Otherwise keept it an error, and
- separate the message from 'written too much'.
-
- * tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-24.6): Testcase updated for changed message.
-
- * generic/tclIORChan.c (ReflectClose): Added missing removal of the
- now closed channel from the reflection map. Before we could crash the
- system by invoking 'chan postevent' on a closed reflected channel,
- dereferencing the dangling pointer in the map.
-
- * tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-31.8): Testcase for the above.
-
-2008-04-03 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
- * generic/tclIO.c (CopyData): Applied patch [Bug 1932639] to
- * tests/io.test: prevent fcopy from calling -command synchronously
- * tests/chanio.test: the first time. Thanks to Alexandre Ferrieux
- <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net> for report and patch.
-
-2008-04-02 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tcl.decls: Remove 'export' declarations of symbols now
- only in libtclstub and no longer in libtcl.
-
- * generic/tclStubLib.c: Make symbols in libtclstub.a MODULE_SCOPE to
- * tools/genStubs.tcl: avoid exporting them from libraries that link
- with -ltclstub; constify tcl*StubsPtr and stub
- table hook pointers. [Bug 1819422]
-
- * generic/tclDecls.h: make genstubs
- * generic/tclIntDecls.h:

-2008-04-02 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
- * generic/tclIO.c (CopyData): Applied patch for fcopy problem [Bug
- 780533], with many thanks to Alexandre Ferrieux
- <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net> for tracking it down and providing a
- solution. Still have to convert his test script into a proper test
- case.
-
-2008-04-01 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
- * generic/tclStrToD.c: Applied patch for [Bug 1839067] (fp rounding

- Michael Schlenker.
-
-2008-04-01 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclStubLib.c: Removed needless #ifdef complexity.

-
- * generic/tclInt.h (TclIsNaN):
- * unix/configure.in: Added code to the configurator to check for a
- standard isnan() macro and use it if one is
- found. This change avoids bugs where the test of
- ((d) != (d)) is optimized away by an
- overaggressive compiler. [Bug 1783544]
- * generic/tclObj.c: Added missing #include <math.h> needed to locate
- isnan() after the above change.
-
- * unix/configure: autoconf-2.61
-
- * tests/mathop.test (mathop-25.9, mathop-25.14): Modified tests to

-
-2008-03-20 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
- * generic/tcl.h, generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: Tidied up the declarations
- of Tcl_GetMemoryInfo so that it is always defined. Will panic when
- called against a Tcl that was previously built without it at all,
- which is OK because that also indicates a serious mismatch between
- memory configuration options.
-
-2008-03-19 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
- * generic/tcl.h, generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (Tcl_GetMemoryInfo): Make
- sure this function is available when direct linking. [Bug 1868171]
-
- * tests/reg.test (reg-33.14): Marked nonPortable because some
- environments have small default stack sizes. [Bug 1905562]
-
-2008-03-18 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
- * library/tm.tcl (::tcl::tm::UnknownHandler): Changed 'source' to
- 'source -encoding utf-8'. This fixes a portability problem of Tcl
- Modules pointed out by Don Porter. By using plain 'source' we were at
- the mercy of 'encoding system', making modules less portable than they
- could be. The exact scenario: A writes a TM in some weird encoding
- which is A's system encoding, distributes it, and somewhere else it
- cannot be read/used because the system encoding is different. Forcing
- the use of utf-8 makes the module portable.
-
- ***INCOMPATIBILITY*** for all Tcl Modules already written in non-utf-8
- compatible encodings.
-
-2008-03-18 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

- alignment of memory allocated by GrowEvaluationStack(). [Bug 1914503]
-
-2008-03-18 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
- * library/tm.tcl (::tcl::tm::Defaults): Modified handling of
- environment variables. Solution slightly different than proposed in
- the report. Using the underscored form TCLX_y_TM_PATH even if
- TCLX.y_TM_PATH exists. Also using a loop to cut prevent code
- replication. [Bug 1914604]
-
-2008-03-16 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
- * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictForCmd): Correct the handling
- of stack space calculation (the jump pattern used was confusing the
- simple-minded code doing the calculations). [Bug 1903325]
-
- * doc/lreplace.n: Clarified documentation of what happens with
- negative indices. [Bug 1905809] Added example, tidied up formatting.
-
-2008-03-14 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclBasic.c (OldMathFuncProc): Same workaround protection
- from bad TclStackAlloc() alignment. Thanks George Peter Staplin.
-
- * generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd): Use ckalloc() to allocate
- SortElement arrays instead of TclStackAlloc() which isn't getting
- alignment right. Workaround for [Bug 1914503].
-

-2008-03-11 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
- * generic/tclVar.c (TclDeleteNamespaceVars):
- * tests/var.test (var-8.2): Unset traces on vars should be called with
- a FQ named during namespace deletion. This was causing infinite loops
- when unset traces recreated the var, as reported by Julian Noble. [Bug
- 1911919]
-
-2008-03-10 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * changes: Updated for 8.5.2 release.
-
- * doc/http.n: Revised to indicate that [package require http 2.5.5]
- is needed to get all the documented commands ([http::meta]).
-
- * generic/tclEvent.c (TclDefaultBgErrorHandlerObjCmd): Added error
- * tests/event.test (event-5.*): checking to protect against callers
- passing invalid return options dictionaries. [Bug 1901113]
-
- * generic/tclBasic.c (ExprAbsFunc): Revised so that the abs()
- * tests/expr.test: function and the [::tcl::mathfunc::abs]
- command do not return the value of -0, or equivalent values with more
- alarming string reps like -1e-350. [Bug 1893815]
-
-2008-03-07 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
- * generic/tclResult.c (ReleaseKeys): Workaround for [Bug 1904907].
- Reset the return option keys to NULL to allow full re-initialization
- by GetKeys(). This introduces a memory leak for the key objects, but
- gets us around a crash in the finalization of reflected channels when
- handling returns, either at compile- or runtime. In both cases we
- access the keys after they have been released by their thread exit
- handler. A proper fix is entangled with the untangling of the
- finalization ordering and attendant issues. For now we choose the
- lesser evil.
-
-2008-03-07 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclExecute.c (Tcl_ExprObj): Revised expression bytecode
- compiling so that bytecodes invalid due to changing context or due to
- the difference between expressions and scripts are not reused. [Bug
- 1899164]
-
- * generic/tclCmdAH.c: Revised direct evaluation implementation of
- [expr] so that [expr $e] caches compiled bytecodes for the expression
- as the intrep of $e.
-
- * tests/execute.test (execute-6.*): More tests checking that
- script bytecode is invalidated in the right situations.
-
-2008-03-07 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

-2008-03-02 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
- * generic/tclNamesp.c (GetNamespaceFromObj):
- * tests/interp.test (interp-28.2): Spoil the intrep of an nsNameType
- obj when the reference crosses interpreter boundaries.
-
-2008-02-29 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclResult.c (Tcl_SetReturnOptions): Revised the refcount
- management of Tcl_SetReturnOptions to become that of a conventional
- Consumer routine. Thanks to Peter Spjuth for pointing out the
- difficulties calling Tcl_SetReturnOptions with non-0-count value for
- options.
- * generic/tclExecute.c (INST_RETURN_STK): Revised the one caller
- within Tcl itself which passes a non-0-count value to
- Tcl_SetReturnOptions().
-
- * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_AppendObjToErrorInfo): Revised the
- refcount management of Tcl_AppendObjToErrorInfo to become that of a
- conventional Consumer routine. This preserves the ease of use for the
- overwhelming common callers who pass in a 0-count value, but makes the
- proper call with a non-0-count value less surprising.
- * generic/tclEvent.c (TclDefaultBgErrorHandlerObjCmd): Revised the
- one caller within Tcl itself which passes a non-0-count value to
- Tcl_AppendObjToErrorInfo().
-
-2008-02-28 Joe English <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>

- first pass.
-
- * generic/tclCompExpr.c (ParseExpr): Plug memory leak in error
- message generation.
