| | | | | | | | | time adding CONST to the API's exported from tclBasic.c. [Patch #415179] ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** from 8.4a2, in which Vince Darley's changes to command tracing were added. A const has been added to the type signature of one of the parameters to Tcl_CommandTraceProc.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * All of the changes below belong to TIP #10 [Tcl I/O Enhancement: Thread-Aware Channels]. See also [Patch #403358] at SF. * generic/tclIO.h (struct ChannelState, line 236f): Extended the structure with a new field of type 'Tcl_ThreadId' to hold the id of the thread currently managing all channels with this state. Note: This structure is shared by all channels in a stack of transformations. * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_CreateChannel, lines 1058-1065): Modified to store the Id of the current thread in the 'ChannelState' of the new channel. * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_SpliceChannel, lines 2265-2270): Modified in the same manner as 'Tcl_CreateChannel' as the channel will be managed by the current thread afterward. * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_GetChannelThread, lines 1478-1503): * generic/tcl.decls (Tcl_GetChannelThread, lines 1504-1506): New API function to retrieve the Id of the managing thread from a channel. Implementation and declaration. * generic/tclTest.c (TestChannelCmd, lines 4520-4532): Added subcommand 'mthread' to query a channel about its managing thread.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Everything below belongs together, it fixes bug #123153. * generic/tcl.h (line 342): A bit more explanation about the default value for TCL_PRESERVE_BINARY_COMPATABILITY. * generic/tcl.h (line 1208): Removed the macro 'Tcl_InitHashTable' as it kills binary compatibility to 8.3 and earlier versions. This is the main part of the patch/change. * generic/tcl.decls (line 1469): * generic/tclHash.c (Tcl_InitHashTable): * generic/tclHash.c (Tcl_InitHashTableEx): * generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_InitObjHashTable): Changed 'Tcl_InitHashTableEx' to 'Tcl_InitCustomHashTable'. This change is more of an estethical nature, replacing the ubiquitous 'Ex' suffix with a more meaningful name. The introduced binary incompatibility is deemed acceptable as it is between alpha versions. Updated callers. * doc/Hash.3: * unix/mkLinks: Changed 'Tcl_InitHashTableEx' to 'Tcl_InitCustomHashTable'.
* Added missing nroff directive.dkf2001-01-161-1/+2

* * docs/scan.n:hobbs2000-12-101-14/+12
| | | | | | | * tests/scan.test: * generic/tclScan.c (Tcl_ScanObjCmd): changed %o and %x to use strtoul instead of strtol to correctly preserve scan<>format conversion of large integers. [Patch #102663, Bug #124600]

Removed Tcl version information from tcltest. Removed tcltest::grep from tcltest package. Added optional 3rd directory argument to makeFile/makeDirectory and removeFile/removeDirectory. * tests/basic.test: Changed references to tcltest::tclVersion to hardcoded numbers. * generic/tcl.h: Changed reference to tcltest2.tcl and tcltest.tcl in comments to tests/basic.test.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * library/tcltest1.0/tcltest2.tcl: New version of tcltest. Cleanup of command line parsing: allows users to specify command line arguments through an environment variable named TCLTEST_OPTIONS [RFE: 3748], does not respond to incorrect arguments, and forces usage of entire flag name when using command line arguments. Defines accessor procs for all tcltest variables. Allows users to use 'return' in test scripts. Allow users to specify whether test files should be sourced or run in a separate process. 'all.tcl' code moved to tcltest package. 'test' proc modified to use attribute-value pairs. Allow users to specify what return codes, output, and errors can be compared and whether these values should be compared using regexp, glob, or exact matching. makeDirectory & removeDirectory now operate with respect to temporaryDirectory [Bug: 6001]. Test results from tests run in slave interpreters are now included in test totals [Bug: 1493]. Test files that return error values are now reported. * tests/all.tcl: Added code to check for the tcltest version loaded; modified to figure out which tests to run based on the tcltest version loaded. * tests/tcltest.test: Modified to explicitly load version 1.0 of tcltest. * tests/tcltest2.test: New test suite for tcltest; includes all of the old tests plus new ones reflecting changes made for version 2.0. * tests/cmdAH.test: Added singleTestInterp constraint to cmdAH-31.2; this test does not run if tests aren't sourced into a single interpreter. * tests/socket.test: Fixed two tests that were referencing variables outside of scope. * tools/tcl.wse.in: Added code to install tcltest2.tcl. * doc/tcltest2.n: New documentation for tcltest version 2.0. Removes documentation for tcltest namespace variables. Adds documentation for new tcltest procs. * unix/mkLinks: Added code to link to tcltest2.n. * generic/tcl.h: Added comment to modify tcltest2.tcl as well as tcltest.tcl for version changes.

| | | | | | * doc/Eval.3: Added a note about the script argument to Tcl_Eval() should be in UTF-8 or risk implied conversion errors when possible combinations of upper ascii can be valid UTF-8 special codes.

Added Tcl_AttemptSetObjLength, and modified AppendUnicodeToUnicodeRep, AppendUtfToUtfRep, and Tcl_AppendStringsToObjVA to support this.

[RFE: 6000, 5993]. In addition, these patches correct mcload to use utf-8 encoding on when reading message catalog files, and provides for better default behavior for determining the locale on a Windows system.
