- locale-independent, (d) adds test cases to util.test for
- correct rounding in difficult cases of TclDoubleDigits where fixed-
- precision results are requested. (e) adds test cases to util.test for
- the controversial aspects of [Bug 3105247]. As a side effect, two
- more modules from libtommath (bn_mp_set_int.c and bn_mp_init_set_int.c)

+ * tests/assemble.test: Added more "white box" tests.
+ * generic/tclAssembly.c: Added the error checking and reporting
+ for undefined labels. Revised code so that no pointers into the

+ that no Tcl_HashEntry pointers are held (because the hash table
+ doesn't guarantee their stability!) and to eliminate the BBHash
+ table, which is merely additional information indexed by jump
+ labels and can just as easily be held in the 'label' structure.
+ Renamed shared structures to CamelCase, and renamed 'label' to
+ JumpLabel because other types of labels may eventually be possible.

-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

- different interpreter/thread.)
-

-
- * 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.
-
- * generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_FcopyObjCmd): Added checking of -size
- * tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-15.{13,14}): value to reject negative
- values, and values overflowing 32-bit signed. [Bug 1557855]. Basic
- patch by Alexandre Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>, with
- modifications from me to separate overflow from true negative
- value. Extended testsuite.
-
-2008-04-08 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>

- * 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).
-
- * 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.

-2008-04-04 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
- * tests/io.test (io-53.9): Added testcase for [Bug 780533], based

- 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.

- * generic/tclInt.h (TclIsNaN):
- * unix/configure.in: Added code to the configurator to check for

+ * generic/tclIORTrans.c (ForwardProc): [Bug 2964425]: When cleaning

-2008-02-02 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+ * generic/tclOO.h, generic/tclOOInt.h: [Patch 2961556]: Change TclOO

- * unix/configure.in (Darwin): Correct Info.plist year substitution in
- non-framework builds.
+ ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+ Source code that uses function typedefs from TclOO will need to update
+ variables and argument definitions so that pointers to the function
+ values are used instead. Binary compatibility is not affected.
+
+ * generic/*.c, generic/tclInt.h, unix/*.c, macosx/*.c: Applied results
+ of doing a Code Audit. Principal changes:
+ * Use do { ... } while (0) in macros
+ * Avoid shadowing one local variable with another
+ * Use clearer 'foo.bar++;' instead of '++foo.bar;' where result not
+ required (i.e., semantically equivalent); clarity is increased

- * generic/tclTimer.c (AfterProc): Replace Tcl_EvalEx() with
- Tcl_EvalObjEx() to evaluate [after] callbacks. Part of trend to favor
- compiled execution over direct evaluation.
+ ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+ Code that previously tried to set the main loop from another thread
+ will now fail. On the other hand, there is a fairly high probability
+ that such programs would have been failing before due to the lack of
+ any kind of inter-thread memory barriers guarding accesses to this
+ part of Tcl's state.

- * generic/tclIORChan.c: Fixed a problem with reflected channels. 'chan
- postevent' is defined to work only from within the interpreter
- containing the handler command. Sensible, we want only handler
- commands to use it. It identifies the channel by handle. The channel
- moves to a different interpreter or thread. The interpreter containing
- the handler command doesn't know the channel any longer. 'chan
- postevent' fails, not finding the channel any longer. Uhm.
-
- Fixed by creating a second per-interpreter channel table, just for
- reflected channels, where each interpreter remembers for which
- reflected channels it has the handler command. This info does not move
- with the channel itself. The table is updated by 'chan create', and
- used by 'chan postevent'.

+2009-11-05 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * library/safe.tcl: A series of patches which bring the SafeBase up to
+ date with code guidelines, Tcl's features, also eliminating a number
+ of inefficiencies along the way.
+ (1) Changed all procedure names to be fully qualified.
+ (2) Moved the procedures out of the namespace eval. Kept their
+ locations. IOW, broke the namespace eval apart into small sections not
+ covering the procedure definitions.
+ (3) Reindented the code. Just lots of whitespace changes.
+ Functionality unchanged.
+ (4) Moved the multiple namespace eval's around. Command export at the
+ top, everything else (var decls, argument parsing setup) at the
+ bottom.
+ (5) Moved the argument parsing setup into a procedure called when the
+ code is loaded. Easier management of temporary data.
+ (6) Replaced several uses of 'Set' with calls to the new procedure
+ 'InterpState' and direct access to the per-slave state array.
+ (7) Replaced the remaining uses of 'Set' and others outside of the
+ path/token handling, and deleted a number of procedures related to
+ state array access which are not used any longer.
+ (8) Converted the path token system to cache normalized paths and path
+ <-> token conversions. Removed more procedures not used any longer.
+ Removed the test cases 4.3 and 4.4 from safe.test. They were testing
+ the now deleted command "InterpStateName".
+ (9) Changed the log command setup so that logging is compiled out
+ completely when disabled (default).
+ (10) Misc. cleanup. Inlined IsInterp into CheckInterp, its only user.
+ Consistent 'return -code error' for error reporting. Updated to use
+ modern features (lassign, in/ni, dicts). The latter are used to keep a
+ reverse path -> token map and quicker check of existence.
+ (11) Fixed [Bug 2854929]: Recurse into all subdirs under all TM root
+ dirs and put them on the access path.

+ invocation. This led to confusion because it was the only such tool
+ path to include double quotes around its invocation. Also, it was
+ somewhat inflexible in the event that somebody needed to override the
+ tool command to include arguments. Therefore, even though it may look
+ "wrong", there are now two double quotes on either side of the tool
+ path definition. This fixes the problem that currently prevents the
+ htmlhelp target from building and maintains flexibility in case
+ somebody needs to override it via the command line or an environment
+ variable.

-2007-09-08 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
- * generic/tclDictObj.c (DictUpdateCmd, DictWithCmd): Plug a hole that
- * generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC,INST_DICT_UPDATE_END): allowed a careful
- * tests/dict.test (dict-21.16,21.17,22.11): attacker to craft a dict
- containing a recursive link to itself, violating one of Tcl's
- fundamental datatype assumptions and causing a stack crash when the
- dict was converted to a string. [Bug 1786481]
-
-2007-09-07 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclEvent.c ([::tcl::Bgerror]): Corrections to Tcl's
- * tests/event.test: default [interp bgerror] handler so that when
- it falls back to a hidden [bgerror] in a safe interp, it gets the
- right error context data. [Bug 1790274]
-
-2007-09-07 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
- * generic/tclProc.c (TclInitCompiledLocals): the refCount of resolved

-
-2007-09-06 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclResult.c (Tcl_GetReturnOptions): Take care that a
- * tests/init.test: non-TCL_ERROR code doesn't cause existing
- -errorinfo, -errorcode, and -errorline entries to be omitted.
- * generic/tclEvent.c: With -errorInfo no longer lost, generate more
- complete ::errorInfo when calling [bgerror] after a non-TCL_ERROR
- background exception.
-
-2007-09-06 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_Init): Removed constraint on ability
- to define a custom [tclInit] before calling Tcl_Init(). Until now the
- custom command had to be a proc. Now it can be any command.
-
- * generic/tclInt.decls: New internal routine TclBackgroundException()
- * generic/tclEvent.c: that for the first time permits non-TCL_ERROR
- exceptions to trigger [interp bgerror] handling. Closes a gap in TIP
- 221. When falling back to [bgerror] (which is designed only to handle
- TCL_ERROR), convert exceptions into errors complaining about the
- exception.

-2007-09-04 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * unix/Makefile.in: It's unreliable to count on the release

-2007-08-27 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclCompExpr.c: Call TclCompileSyntaxError() when

- longer any need to report TCL_ERROR.
- * generic/tclCompile.c: Update callers.
- * generic/tclExecute.c:
-
- * generic/tclCompCmds.c: New routine TclCompileSyntaxError()
- * generic/tclCompile.h: to directly compile bytecodes that report a
- * generic/tclCompile.c: syntax error, rather than (ab)use a call to
- TclCompileReturnCmd. Also, undo the most recent commit that papered
- over some issues with that (ab)use. New routine produces a new opcode
- INST_SYNTAX, which is a minor variation of INST_RETURN_IMM. Also a bit
- of constification.

- overwriting existing intreps in already registered literals.
-
-2007-08-25 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
-
- * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Added code to handle
- * tests/expr.test (expr-23.48-53) integer exponentiation
- that results in 32- and 64-bit integer results, avoiding calls to wide
- integer exponentiation routines in this common case. [Bug 1767293]
-
- * library/clock.tcl (ParseClockScanFormat): Modified code to allow

- of time zone and month names. [Bug 1781282]
-
-2007-08-24 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclCompExpr.c: Register literals found in expressions

-
-2007-08-24 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

-
- * library/init.tcl ([auto_load_index]): Delete stray "]" that created

-
- * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileReturnCmd): Added crash protection
- to handle callers other than TclCompileScript() failing to meet the
- initialization assumptions of the TIP 280 code in CompileWord().
-

-
-2007-08-21 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

-
-2007-08-20 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
- * generic/tclExecute.c (INST_SUB): fix usage of the new macro for
- overflow detection in sums, adapt to subtraction. Lengthy comment

-
-2007-08-19 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
- * generic/tclExecute.c (Overflowing, TclIncrObj, TclExecuteByteCode):
- Encapsulate Miguel's last change in a more mnemonic macro.
-
-2007-08-19 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
- * generic/tclExecute.c: changed the check for overflow in sums,
- reducing objsize, number of branches and cache misses (according to
- cachegrind). Non-overflow for s=a+b:
- previous
- ((a >= 0 || b >= 0 || s < 0) && (s >= 0 || b < 0 || a < 0))
- now
- (((a^s) >= 0) || ((a^b) < 0))

- different sign".
-
-2007-08-19 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
- * doc/interp.n (RESOURCE LIMITS): Added text to better explain why
- time limits are described using absolute times. [Bug 1752148]
-
-2007-08-16 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
- * generic/tclVar.c: improved localVarNameType caching to leverage
- the new availability of Tcl_Obj in variable names, avoiding string
- comparisons to verify that the cached value is usable.
-
- * generic/tclExecute.c: check the two most frequent instructions
- before the switch. Reduces both runtime and obj size a tiny bit.
-
-2007-08-16 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclCompExpr.c: Added a "constant" field to the OpNode
- struct (again "free" due to alignment requirements) to mark those
- subexpressions that are completely known at compile time. Enhanced
- CompileExprTree() and its callers to precompute these constant
- subexpressions at compile time. This resolves the issue raised in [Bug
- 1564517].
-

-
- * generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclGetOpenModeEx): Only set the O_APPEND flag

-2007-08-14 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+ For 64-bit builds, callers of routines with (mp_digit) or (mp_digit *)
+ arguments *will*, and callers of routines with (mp_int *) arguments
+ *may* suffer both binary and stubs incompatibilities with Tcl releases
+ 8.5.0 - 8.5.7. Such possibilities should be checked, and if such

- * generic/tclExecute.c (INST_INVOKE*): peephole opt, do not get the

+ * generic/tclLiteral.c: [Bug 2888044]: Fixed 2 bugs.
+ * tests/info.test: First, as noted in the comments of the
+ TclCleanupLiteralTable routine, since the teardown of the intrep of
+ one Tcl_Obj can cause the teardown of others in the same table, the
+ full table cleanup must be done with care, but the code did not
+ contain the same care demanded in the comment. Second, recent
+ additions to the info.test file had poor hygiene, leaving an array
+ variable ::a lying around, which breaks later interp.test tests during
+ a -singleproc 1 run of the test suite.

- * generic/tclCompExpr.c: Revise CompileExprTree() to use the
- OpNode mark field scheme of tree traversal. This eliminates the need
- to use magic values in the left and right fields for that purpose.
- Also stop abusing the left field within ParseExpr() to store the
- number of arguments in a parsed function call. CompileExprTree() now

- *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** (tclInt.h and tclCompile.h)
- Extensions that access internals defined in tclInt.h and/or
- tclCompile.h may lose both binary and source compatibility. The
- relevant changes are:
- 1. 'struct Var' is completely changed, all acceses to its internals
- (either direct or via the TclSetVar* and TclIsVar* macros) will
- malfunction. Var flag values and semantics changed too.
- 2. 'struct Bytecode' has an additional field that has to be
- initialised to NULL
- 3. 'struct Namespace' is larger, as the varTable is now one pointer
- larger than a Tcl_HashTable. Direct access to its fields will
- malfunction.
- 4. 'struct CallFrame' grew one more field (the second such growth with
- respect to Tcl8.4).
- 5. API change for the functions TclFindCompiledLocal, TclDeleteVars
- and many internal functions in tclVar.c
-
- Additionally, direct access to variable hash tables via the standard
- Tcl_Hash* interface is to be considered as deprecated. It still works
- in the present version, but will be broken by further specialisation
- of these hash tables. This concerns especially the table of array
- elements in an array, as well as the varTable field in the Namespace
- struct.

-
-2007-07-11 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclCompExpr.c: Added a "parseOnly" flag argument to
- ParseExpr() to indicate whether the caller is Tcl_ParseExpr(), with an
- end goal of filling a Tcl_Parse with Tcl_Tokens representing the
- parsed expression, or TclCompileExpr() with the goal of compiling and
- executing the expression. In the latter case, more aggressive
- conversion of QUOTED and BRACED lexeme to literals is done. In the
- former case, all such conversion is avoided, since Tcl_Token
- production would revert it anyway. This enables simplifications to the
- GenerateTokensForLiteral() routine as well.
-
-2007-07-10 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclCompExpr.c: Added a field for operator precedence
- to be stored directly in the parse tree. There's no memory cost to
- this addition, since that memory would have been lost to alignment
- issues anyway. Also, converted precedence definitions and lookup
- tables to use symbolic constants instead of raw number for improved
- readability, and continued extending/improving/correcting comments.
- Removed some unused counter variables. Renamed some variables for
- clarity and replaced some cryptic logic with more readable macros.
-
-2007-07-09 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclCompExpr.c: Revision so that the END lexeme never
- gets inserted into the parse tree. Later tree traversal never reaches
- it since its location in the tree is not variable. Starting and
- stopping with the START lexeme (node 0) is sufficient. Also finished
- lexeme code commentary.

- * generic/tclInt.h:
- * generic/tclNamesp.c:
- * generic/tclObj.c:
- * generic/tclvar.c: new macros TclGetCurrentNamespace() and
- TclGetGlobalNamespace(); Tcl_GetCommandFromObj and
- TclGetNamespaceFromObj rewritten to make the logic clearer; slightly
- faster too.
-
-2007-06-09 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

- block where they are actually used.
-
- * generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetCommandFromObj): rewritten to make the
- logic clearer; slightly faster too.
-
- * generic/tclBasic.c: Split TEOv in two, by separating a processor
- for non-TCL_OK returns. Also split TEOvI in a full version that
- handles non-existing and traced commands, and a separate shorter
- version for the regular case.
-
- * generic/tclBasic.c: Moved the generation of command strings for
- * generic/tclTrace.c: traces: previously in Tcl_EvalObjv(), now in
- TclCheck[Interp|Execution]Traces(). Also insured that the strings are
- properly NUL terminated at the correct length. [Bug 1693986]
-
- ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY in internal API***
- The functions TclCheckInterpTraces() and TclCheckExecutionTraces() (in
- internal stubs) used to be noops if the command string was NULL, this
- is not true anymore: if the command string is NULL, they generate an
- appropriate string from (objc,objv) and use it to call the traces. The
- caller might as well not call them with a NULL string if he was
- expecting a noop.

+ [Bug 2821401]: Make non-bytecoded [switch] command aware of NRE.
+
+2009-07-13 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclCompile.c (TclInitCompileEnv, EnterCmdWordIndex)
+ (TclCleanupByteCode, TclCompileScript):
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (TclCompileObj, TclExecuteByteCode):
+ * tclCompile.h (ExtCmdLoc):

+ * generic/tclCmdAH.c (TclNRForObjCmd, TclNRForIterCallback,

+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclNRWhileObjCmd):
+
+ Extended the bytecode compiler initialization to recognize the
+ compilation of whole files (NRE enabled 'source' command) and switch
+ to the counting of absolute lines in that case.
+
+ Further extended the bytecode compiler to track the start line in the
+ generated information, and modified the bytecode execution to
+ recompile an object if the location as per the calling context doesn't
+ match the location saved in the bytecode. This part could be optimized
+ more by using more memory to keep all possibilities which occur
+ around, or by just adjusting the location information instead of a
+ total recompile.
- * generic/tclExecute.c (INST_FOREACH_STEP4): Make private copy of
- * tests/foreach.test (foreach-10.1): value list to be assigned to
- variables so that shimmering of that list doesn't lead to invalid
- pointers. [Bug 1671087]
+ Reworked the handling of literal command arguments in bytecode to be
+ saved (compiler) and used (execution) per command (See the
+ TCL_INVOKE_STK* instructions), and not per the whole bytecode. This,
+ and the previous change remove the problems with location data caused
+ by literal sharing (across whole files, but also proc bodies).
+ Simplified the associated datastructures (ExtIndex is gone, as is the
+ function EnterCmdWordIndex).
- * generic/tclEvent.c (HandleBgErrors): Make efficient private copy
- * tests/event.test (event-5.3): of the command prefix for the interp's
- background error handling command to avoid panics due to pointers to
- memory invalid after shimmering. [Bug 1670155]
+ The last change causes the hashtable 'lineLABCPtr' to be state which
+ has to be kept per coroutine, like the CmdFrame stack. Reworked the
+ coroutine support code to create, delete and switch the information as
+ needed. Further reworked the tailcall command as well, it has to pop
+ its own arguments when run in a bytecode context to keep a proper
+ stack in 'lineLABCPtr'.
- * generic/tclNamesp.c (NsEnsembleImplementationCmd): Make efficient
- * tests/namespace.test (namespace-42.8): private copy of the
- command prefix as we invoke the command appropriate to a particular
- subcommand of a particular ensemble to avoid panic due to shimmering
- of the List intrep. [Bug 1670091]
+ Fixed the mishandling of line information in the NRE-enabled 'for' and
+ 'while' commands introduced when both were made to share their
+ iteration callbacks without taking into account that the loop body is
+ found in different words of the command. Introduced a separate data
+ structure to hold all the callback information, as we went over the
+ limit of 4 direct client-data values for NRE callbacks.
- * generic/tclVar.c (TclArraySet): Make efficient private copy of
- * tests/var.test (var-17.1): the "list" argument to [array set] to
- avoid crash due to shimmering invalidating pointers. [Bug 1669489]
+ The above fixes [Bug 1605269].

+ This is puzzling and likely a bug. The performance of [string map]
+ is significantly improved by this change (according to the MAP

-
-2006-10-31 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
- * generic/tclBasic.c, generic/tclNamesp.c, generic/tclProc.c:
- * generic/tclInt.h: Removed the callObjc and callObjv fields from the
- Interp structure. They did not function correctly and made other parts
- of the core amazingly complex, resulting in a substantive change to
- [info level] behaviour. [Bug 1587618]
- * library/clock.tcl: Removed use of [info level 0] for calculating the
- command name as used by the user and replace with a literal. What's
- there now is sucky, but at least appears to be right to most users.
- * tests/namespace.test (namespace-42.7,namespace-47.1): Reverted
- changes to these tests.
- * tests/info.test (info-9.11,info-9.12): Added knownBug constraint
- since these tests require a different behaviour of [info level] than
- is possible because of other dependencies.
-
-2006-10-30 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
-
- * tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl (option-toc): handle any kind of options
- defined toc section (needed for ttk docs)

-2006-10-30 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
- * generic/tclBasic.c (TEOVI): insured that the interp's callObjc/v
- fields are restored after traces run, as they be spoiled. This was
- causing a segfault in tcllib's profiler tests.
-
-2006-10-30 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclExecute.c (INST_MOD): Corrected improper testing of the

- completely broke snit; added two tests.
-
-2006-10-28 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
- * generic/tclProc.c (ObjInterpProcEx, TclObjInterpProcCore): Split the
- core of procedures to make it easier to build procedure-like code
- without going through horrible contortions. This is the last critical
- component to make advanced OO systems workable as simple loadable
- extensions. TOIPC is now in the internal stub table.
- (MakeProcError, MakeLambdaError): Refactored ProcessProcResultCode to
- be simpler, some of which goes to TclObjInterpProcCore, and the rest
- of which is now in these far simpler routines which just do errorInfo
- stack generation for different types of procedure-like entity.
- * tests/apply.test (apply-5.1): Updated to expect the more informative
- form of message.
-
-2006-10-27 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
- * generic/tclVar.c (HasLocalVars): New macro to make various bits and
- pieces cleaner.
-
- * generic/tclNamesp.c (TclSetNsPath): Expose SetNsPath() through
- internal stubs table with semi-external name.
-
- * generic/tclInt.h (CallFrame): Add a field for handling context data
- for extensions (like object systems) that should be tied to a call
- frame (and not a command or interpreter).
-
- * generic/tclBasic.c (TclRenameCommand): Change to take CONST args;
- they were only ever used in a constant way anyway, so this appears to
- be a spot that was missed during TIP#27 work.
-
-2006-10-26 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

- * generic/tclInterp.c (AliasObjCmd): previous commit missed usage of
- TCL_EVAL_NOREWRITE for aliases.
-
- * generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalObjvInternal): removed redundant check
- for ensembles. [Bug 1577628]
-
- * library/clock.tcl (format, scan): corrected wrong # args messages to
- * tests/clock.test (3.1, 34.1): make use of the new rewrite
- capabilities of [info level]
-
- * generic/tcl.h: Lets TEOV update the iPtr->callObj[cv] new
- * generic/tclBasic.c: fields, except when the flag bit
- * generic/tclInt.h: TCL_EVAL_NOREWRITE is present. These values
- * generic/tclNamesp.c: are used by Tcl_PushCallFrame to initialise
- * generic/tclProc.c: the frame's obj[cv] fields, and allows
- * tests/namespace.test: [info level] to know and use ensemble
- rewrites. [Bug 1577492]
-
- ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
- The return value from [info level 0] on interp alias calls is changed:
- previously returned the target command (including curried values), now
- returns the source - what was actually called.
-
-2006-10-23 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
- * generic/tcl.h: Modified the Tcl call stack so there is
- * generic/tclBasic.c: always a valid CallFrame, even at level 0
- * generic/tclCmdIL.c: [Patch 1577278]. Most of the changes
- * generic/tclInt.h: involve removing tests for a NULL
- * generic/tclNamesp.c: iPtr->(var)framePtr. There is now a
- * generic/tclObj.c: CallFrame pushed at interp creation with a
- * generic/tclProc.c: pointer to it stored in iPtr->rootFramePtr.
- * generic/tclTrace.c: A second unused field in Interp is
- * generic/tclVar.c: hijacked to enable further functionality,
- currently unused (but with several FRQs depending on it).
-
- ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
- Any user that includes tclInt.h and needs to determine if it is
- running at level 0 should change (iPtr->varFramePtr == NULL) to
- (iPtr->varFramePtr == iPtr->rootFramePtr).

-
- * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Revise tcltest bump to 2.3a1.

-2006-09-30 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
- * generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_SplitList): optimisation, [Patch 1344747] by
- dgp.
-
- * generic/tclInt.decls:
- * generic/tclInt.h:
- * generic/tclIntDecls.h:
- * generic/tclObj.c:
- * generic/tclStubInit.c: added an internal function TclObjBeingDeleted

- 1512138]
-
- * generic/tclCompile.c:
- * generic/tclHistory.c:
- * generic/tclInt.h:
- * generic/tclProc.c: made Tcl_RecordAndEvalObj not call "history" if

- tclCompile.c
-
-2006-09-28 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
- * generic/tclPkg.c (CompareVersions): Bugfix. Check string lengths
- * tests/pkg.test: before comparison. The shorter string is the smaller
- number. Added testcases as well. Interestingly all existing test cases
- for vcompare compared numbers of the same length with each other. [Bug
- 1563836]
-
-2006-09-28 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
- * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_GetsObj): added two test'n'panic guards for
- possible NULL derefs, [Bug 1566382] and coverity #33.
-
-2006-09-27 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclExecute.c: Corrected error in INST_LSHIFT in the
- * tests/expr.test: calculation done to determine whether a shift
- in the (long int) type is possible. The calculation had literal value
- "1" where it needed a value "1L" to compute the correct result. Error
- detected via testing with the math::bigfloat package [Bug 1567222]
-
- * generic/tclPkg.c (CompareVersion): Flatten strcmp() results to
- {-1, 0, 1} to match expectations of CompareVersion() callers.
-
-2006-09-27 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
- * generic/regc_color.c (singleton):
- * generic/regc_cvec.c (addmcce):
- * generic/regcomp.c (compile, dovec): the static function addmcce does
- nothing when called with two NULL pointers; the only call is by
- compile with two NULL pointers (regcomp.c #includes regc_cvec.c).
- Large parts (all?) the code for mcce (multi character collating
- element) that we do not use is ifdef'ed out with the macro
- REGEXP_MCCE_ENABLE.
- This silences coverity bugs 7, 16, 80
-
- * generic/regc_color.c (uncolorchain):
- * generic/regc_nfa.c (freearc): changed tests and asserts to
- equivalent formulation, designed to avoid an explicit comparison to
- NULL and satisfy coverity that 6 and 9 are not bugs.
-
-2006-09-27 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
- * tests/pkg.test: Added test for version comparison at the 32bit
- boundary. [Bug 1563836]
-
- * generic/tclPkg.c: Rewrote CompareVersion to perform string
- comparison instead of numeric. This breaks through the 32bit limit on
- version numbers. See code for details (handling of leading zeros,
- signs, etc.). un-CONSTed some arguments of CompareVersions,
- RequirementSatisfied, and AllRequirementsSatisfied. The new compare
- modifies the string (temporary string terminators). All callers use
- heap-allocated ver-intreps, so we are good with that. [Bug 1563836]
-
-2006-09-27 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
- * generic/tclFileName.c (TclGlob): added a panic for a call with
- TCL_GLOBMODE_TAILS and pathPrefix==NULL. This would cause a segfault,
- as found by coverity #26.
-
-2006-09-26 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
-
- * doc/Encoding.3: Added covariant 'const' qualifier for the

-
- * generic/tcl.h: As 2006-09-22 commit from Donal K. Fellows
- demonstrates, "#define NULL 0" is just wrong, and as a quotable chat
- figure observed, "If NULL isn't defined, we're not using a C compiler"
- Improper fallback definition of NULL removed.
-
-2006-09-25 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tcl.h: More fixing which struct stat to refer to.
- * generic/tclGetDate.y: Some casts from time_t to int required.

-
-2006-09-25 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
- * generic/tclNotify.c (Tcl_DeleteEvents): Make it clear what happens

-
-2006-09-24 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
- * generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_ParseCommand): also return an error if

- strings. This is coverity's bugs #54-5
-
-2006-09-22 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>

- gethostbyaddr() if the implementation is known to be MT-safe
- (currently for Darwin 6 or later only).
-
- * unix/configure.in: Assume gethostbyname() and gethostbyaddr() are

- when function arguments contain operators. [Bug 1541274]
-
- * tests/expr-old.test: The remaining failing tests reported in
- * tests/expr.test: [Bug 1381715] are all new in Tcl 8.5, so
- there's really no issue of compatibility with Tcl 8.4 result to deal
- with. Fixed by updating tests to expect 8.5 results.

- * generic/tclFileName.c (DoGlob): match incrs with decrs.
-
-2006-08-29 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclParseExpr.c: Use the "parent" field of orphan
- ExprNodes to store the closure of left pointers. This lets us avoid
- repeated re-scanning leftward for the left boundary of subexpressions,
- which in worst case led to near O(N^2) runtime.
-
-2006-08-29 Joe Mistachkin <joe@mistachkin.com>

-
- * generic/tclStringObj.c: Revised ObjPrintfVA to take care to
- * generic/tclParseExpr.c: copy only whole characters when doing

- boundaries. Tcl_ParseExpr() simplified by taking advantage. [Bug
- 1547786]

- * library/clock.tcl:
- * tests/clock.test: Removed an early testing hack that allowed loading

- already running (e.g. if Tcl_WaitForEvent was called recursively),
- re-run it in a custom run loop mode containing only the source for the
- notifier thread, otherwise wakeups from other sources added to the
- common run loop modes might get lost.
-
- * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): on 64-bit Darwin,
- pthread_cond_timedwait() appears to have a bug that causes it to wait
- forever when passed an absolute time which has already been exceeded
- by the system time; as a workaround, when given a very brief timeout,
- just do a poll on that platform. [Bug 1457797]

- * generic/tclParseExpr.c: Completely new expression parser that
- builds a parse tree instead of operating with deep recursion. This
- corrects reports of stack-blowing crashes parsing long expressions
- [Bug 906201] and replaces a fundamentally O(N^2) algorithm with an
- O(N) one [RFE 903765]. The new parser is better able to generate error
- messages that clearly report both the nature and context of the syntax
- error [Bugs 1029267, 1381715]. For now, the code for the old parser is
- still present and can be activated with a "#define OLD_EXPR_PARSER
- 1". This is for the sake of a clean implementation patch, and for ease
- of benchmarking. The new parser is non-recursive, so much lighter in
- stack consumption, but it does use more heap, so there may be cases
- where parsing of long expressions that succeeded with the old parser
- will lead to out of memory panics with the new one. There are still
- more improvements possible on that point, though significant progress
- may require changes to the Tcl_Token specifications documented for the
- public Tcl_Parse*() routines.
- ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for any callers that rely on the exact
- (usually terrible) error messages generated by the old parser. This
- includes a large number of tests in the test suite.

- * generic/tclStrToD.c: Added code to support the "middle endian"
- floating point format used in the Nokia N770's software-based floating
- point. Thanks to Bruce Johnson for reporting this bug, originally on
- http://wiki.tcl.tk/15408.
- * library/clock.tcl: Fixed a bug with Daylight Saving Time and Posix
- time zone specifiers reported by Martin Lemburg in
- http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.tcl/browse_thread/thread/9a8b15a4dfc0b7a0
- (and not at SourceForge).
- * tests/clock.test: Added test case for the above bug.

- * doc/IntObj.3: Documentation changes to account for TIP 237 changes.
- * doc/Object.3: [Bug 1446971]
+ * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken): Reverted most
+ of the substance of my 2009-01-12 commit. NULLing the objProc field of
+ a Command when deleting it is important so that tests for certain
+ classes of commands don't return false positives when applied to
+ deleted command tokens. Overall change is now just replacement of a
+ false comment with a true one.

- * generic/regc_locale.c (cclass): Redefined the meaning of [:print:]
- to be exactly UNICODE letters, numbers, punctuation, symbols and
- spaces (*not* whitespace). [Bug 1376892]
+ * unix/tcl.m4: fix [tcl-Bug 2502365] Building of head on HPUX is
+ broken when using the native CC.

+2009-01-13 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
- * generic/tclTrace.c: Stop some interference between enter traces
- * tests/trace.test: and enterstep traces. [Bug 1458266]
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_ThrowObjCmd): Move implementation of [throw]

+2009-01-12 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
- * generic/tclPathObj.c: Yet another revised fix for the [Bug 1379287]
- * tests/fileSystem.test: family of path normalization bugs.
+ * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken): One consequence of
+ the NRE rewrite is that there are now situations where a NULL objProc
+ field in a Command struct is perfectly normal. Removed an outdated
+ comment in Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken that claimed we use
+ cmdPtr->objPtr==NULL as a test of command validity. In fact we use
+ cmdPtr->flags&CMD_IS_DELETED to perform that test. Also removed the
+ setting to NULL, since any extension following the advice of the old
+ comment is going to be broken by NRE anyway, and needs to shift to
+ flag-based testing (or stop intruding into such internal matters).
+ Part of [Bug 2486550].

- * generic/tclRegexp.c (FinalizeRegexp): full reset data to indicate
- readiness for reinitialization.
-
-2006-04-06 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct): It seems there
- * tests/indexObj.test: are extensions that rely on the prior behavior
- * doc/GetIndex.3: that the empty string cannot succeed as a
- unique prefix matcher, so I'm restoring Donal Fellows's solution.
- Added mention of this detail to the documentation. [Bug 1464039]
-
- * tests/compExpr-old.test: Updated testmathfunctions constraint

- * win/tclWinSock.c: to avoid creating invalid DString states. Bump
- * win/tclWinDde.c: to version 1.3.2. [RFE 1366195]
- * library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl:
-
- * library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl: Bump to registry 1.2 because

- same manner as any other key. [Bug 1464039]
-
-2006-04-03 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
- * generic/tclIO.c (ReadChars): Added check, panic and commentary to a
- piece of code which relies on BUFFER_PADDING to create enough space at
- the beginning of each buffer for the insertion of partial multibyte
- data at the beginning of a buffer. Commentary explains why this code
- is OK, and the panic is as a precaution if someone twiddled the
- BUFFER_PADDING into uselessness.
-
- * generic/tclIO.c (ReadChars): Temporarily suppress the use of
- TCL_ENCODING_END set when EOF was reached while the buffer we are
- converting is not truly the last buffer in the queue. Together with
- the Utf bug below it was possible to completely wreck the buffer data
- structures, eventually crashing Tcl. [Bug 1462248]
-
- * generic/tclEncoding.c (UtfToUtfProc): Stop accessing memory beyond
- the end of the input buffer when TCL_ENCODING_END is set and the last
- bytes of the buffer start a multi-byte sequence. This bug contributed
- to [Bug 1462248].

-
-2006-03-27 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclExecute.c: Merge INST_MOD computation in with the
- INST_?SHIFT instructions, which also operate only on two integral
- values. Also corrected flaw that made INST_BITNOT of wide values
- require mp_int calculations. Also corrected type that missed optimized

- calculations in native types as much as possible, moving to mp_ints
- only when necessary.
-
-2006-03-23 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclExecute.c: Merged INST_EXPON handling in with the other
- binary operators that operate on all number types (INST_ADD, etc.).
-
- * tests/env.test: With case preserved (see 2006-03-21 commit) be sure
- to do case-insensitive filtering. [Bug 1457065]

-
- * changes: Updates for another RC.

- hidden files with pattern==NULL arg. [Bug 823329]
- * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
- * generic/tclStubInit.c: make genstubs
-
-2006-03-20 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
- * win/Makefile.in (install-libraries): Generate tcl8/8.4 directory
- under Windows as well (cygwin Makefile). Related entry: 2006-03-07,
- dgp. This moved the installation of http from 8.2 to 8.4, partially. A
- fix of the required directory creation was done for unix on Mar 10,
- without entry in the Changelog. This entry is for the fix of the
- directory creation under Windows.
-
- * unix/installManPage: There is always one even more broken "sed".
- Moved the # comment starting character in the sed script to the
- beginning of their respective lines. The AIX sed will not recognize
- them as comments otherwise :( The actual text stays indented for
- better association with the commands they belong to.

- errors.
-
- ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for scripts that assumed '-nocomplain'
- removes the need for 'catch' to deal with non-understood path names.
-
- Small optimisation to implementation of pattern==NULL case of TclGlob,
- and clarification to the documentation. [Tclvfs bug 1405317]

- with regard to setup and cleanup. [Bug 681793]
-
- * generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclGetOpenMode): Added the flag O_APPEND to the
- list of POSIX modes used when opening a file for 'a'ppend. This
- enables the proper automatic seek-to-end-on-write by the OS. See [Bug
- 680143] for longer discussion.
-
- * tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-13.7.*): Extended the testsuite to check the
- new handling of 'a'.
-
-2006-03-15 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
- * tests/socket.test: Extended the timeout in socket-11.11 from 10 to
- 40 seconds to allow for really slow machines. Also extended
- actual/expected results with value of variable 'done' to make it
- clearer when a test fails due to a timeout. [Bug 792159]
-
-2006-03-15 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@sourceforge.net>
-
- * win/fCmd.test: add proper test constraints so the new tests don't
- run on Unix.

-2006-03-14 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
- * generic/tclPipe.c (TclCreatePipeline): Modified the processing of
- pipebars to fail if the last bar is followed only by redirections.
- [Bug 768659]
-
-2006-03-14 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
- * doc/fconfigure.n: Clarified that -translation is binary is reported
- as lf when queried, because it is identical to lf, except for the
- special additional behaviour when setting it. [Bug 666770]
-
-2006-03-14 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
- * doc/clock.n: Removed double-quotes around section title NAME; not

-
- * generic/tclEvent.c: Cosmetic touches and identation
- * generic/tclInt.h: Added TclpFinalizeSockets() call.
-
- * generic/tclIO.c: Calls TclpFinalizeSockets() as part of the
- TclFinalizeIOSubsystem().
-
- * unix/tclUnixSock.c: Added no-op TclpFinalizeSockets().
-
- * win/tclWinPipe.c, win/tclWinSock.c: Finalization of sockets/pipes is
- now solely done in TclpFinalizeSockets() and TclpFinalizePipes() and
- not over the thread-exit handler, because the order of actions the Tcl
- generic core will impose may result in cores/hangs if the thread exit
- handler tears down corresponding subsystem(s) too early.

- * unix/tclUnixChan.c (TclpOpenFileChannel): Tidy up and comment the
- mess to do with setting up serial channels. This (deliberately) breaks
- a broken FreeBSD port, indicates what we're really doing, and reduces
- the amount of conditional compilation sections for better maintenance.

- * unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitPlatform): Improved conditions on when
- to update the FP rounding mode on FreeBSD, taken from FreeBSD port.
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c (STRING_SIZE): Corrected failure to limit
+ memory allocation requests to the sizes that can be supported by Tcl's
+ memory allocation routines. [Bug 2494093]

- * tests/string.test (string-12.21): Added test for [Bug 1410553] based
- on original bug report.
+ * generic/tclNamesp.c (NamespaceEnsembleCmd): Error out when someone
+ gives wrong # of args to [namespace ensemble create]. [Bug 1558654]

- Tcl_GetRange. Thanks to twylite and Peter Spjuth. [Bug 1410553]
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c (STRING_UALLOC): Added missing parens
+ required to get correct results out of things like
+ STRING_UALLOC(num + append). [Bug 2494093]
- * generic/tclProc.c: fixed args handling for precompiled bodies [Bug
- 1412695]; thanks to Uwe Traum.

+ * generic/tclDictObj.c, generic/tclIndexObj.c, generic/tclListObj.c,
+ * generic/tclObj.c, generic/tclStrToD.c, generic/tclUtil.c,
+ * generic/tclVar.c: Generate errorcodes for the error cases which

+ "You gave me the wrong number of arguments".
- * generic/tclPipe.c (FileForRedirect): Prevent nameString from being
- freed without having been initialized.
- * tests/exec.test: Added a test for the above.

-2006-01-12 Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
+ * doc/dict.n: Added more examples. [Tk Bug 2491235]
- * generic/tclPathObj.c (Tcl_FSGetInternalRep): backported patch from
- core-8-4-branch. A freed pointer has been overwritten causing all
- sorts of coredumps.
+ * tests/oo.test (oo-22.1): Adjusted test to be less dependent on the
+ specifics of how [info frame] reports general frame information, and
+ instead to focus on what methods add to it; that's really what the
+ test is about anyway.

- * win/tclWinFile.c: fix to sharing violation [Bug 1366227]
+ * tests/stringObj.test: Revise tests that demand a NULL Tcl_ObjType
+ in certain values to construct those values with [testdstring] so
+ there's no lack of robustness depending on the shimmer history of
+ shared literals.

- * generic/tclBasic.c: Moved Tcl_LogCommandInfo from tclBasic.c to
- * generic/tclNamesp.c: tclNamesp.c to get access to identifier with
- * tests/error.test (error-7.0): file scope. Added check for traces on
- ::errorInfo, and when present fall back to contruction of the stack
- trace in the variable so that write trace notification timings are
- compatible with earlier Tcl releases. This reduces, but does not
- completely eliminate the ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** created by
- the 2004-10-15 commit. [Bug 1397843]
+ * generic/tclDictObj.c (DictIncrCmd): Corrected twiddling in internals
+ of dictionaries so that literals can't get destroyed.
-2006-01-10 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+ * tests/expr.test: Eliminate non-ASCII char. [Bug 2006879]
- * unix/configure: add caching, use AC_CACHE_CHECK instead of
- * unix/configure.in: AC_CACHE_VAL where possible, consistent message
- * unix/tcl.m4: quoting, sync relevant tclconfig/tcl.m4 changes
- and gratuitous formatting differences, fix SC_CONFIG_MANPAGES with
- default argument, Darwin improvements to SC_LOAD_*CONFIG.
+ * generic/tclOOInfo.c (InfoObjectMethodsCmd,InfoClassMethodsCmd): Only
+ delete pointers that were actually allocated! [Bug 2489836]
-2006-01-09 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+ * generic/tclOO.c (TclNRNewObjectInstance, Tcl_NewObjectInstance):
+ Perform search for existing commands in right context. [Bug 2481109]
- * generic/tclNamesp.c (NamespaceInscopeCmd): [namespace inscope]
- * tests/namespace.test: commands were not reported by [info level].

+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclNRSourceObjCmd): Make implementation of the
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclNREvalFile): [source] command be NRE
+ enabled so that [yield] inside a script sourced in a coroutine can
+ work. [Bug 2412068]
- * generic/tclTrace.c: Stop exporting the guts of the trace command;
- nothing outside this file needs to see it. [Bug 971336]
+2009-01-04 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
-2006-01-05 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+ * generic/tclCmdAH.c: Tidy up spacing and code style.
- * unix/tcl.m4 (TCL_CONFIG_SYSTEM): Factor out the code to determine
- the operating system version number, as it was replicated in several
- places.

+ * library/clock.tcl (tcl::clock::add): Fixed error message formatting
+ in the case where [clock add] is presented with a bad switch.
+ * tests/clock.test (clock-65.1) Added a test case for the above
+ problem [Bug 2481670].
- * win/tclAppInit.c: WIN32 native console signal handler removed. This
- was found to be interfering with TWAPI extension one. IMO, special
- services such as signal handlers should best be done with extensions
- to the core after discussions on c.l.t. about Roy Terry's tclsh
- children of a real windows service shell.
+2009-01-02 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Force the use of the compatibility
+ version of mkstemp() on IRIX. [Bug 878333]
+ * unix/configure.in, unix/Makefile.in (mkstemp.o):
+ * compat/mkstemp.c (new file): Added a compatibility implementation of
+ the mkstemp() function, which is apparently needed on some platforms.
