| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * 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'.

| | | | | | | * 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]

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * tests/http.test * doc/http.n * library/http2.3/http.tcl: Fixed bug 5741, where unsuccessful geturl calls sometimes leaked memory and resources (sockets). Also, switched around some of the logic so that http::wait never throws an exception. This is because in an asynchronous geturl, the command callback will probably end up doing all the error handling anyway, and in an asynchronous situation, the user expects to check the state when the transaction completes, as opposed to being thrown an exception. For the http package, this menas the user can check http::status for "error" and http::error for the error message after doing the http::wait.

(2) Additional API's for channels. Required to allow the thread extension to move channels between threads. * generic/tcl.decls (lines 1360f): Added Tcl_JoinThread, Tcl_IsChannelShared, Tcl_IsChannelRegistered, Tcl_CutChannel, Tcl_SpliceChannel, Tcl_IsChannelExisting and Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers (slots 394 to 400). * generic/tclIO.c: Implemented Tcl_IsChannelRegistered, Tcl_IsChannelShared, Tcl_CutChannel, Tcl_SpliceChannel, Tcl_IsChannelExisting and Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers. Tcl_CutChannel uses code from CloseChannel. Replaced this code by a call to Tcl_CutChannel. Replaced several code fragments adding channels to the channel list with calls to Tcl_SpliceChannel. Removed now unused variables from CloseChannel and Tcl_UnstackChannel. Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers uses code from Tcl_Close. Replaced this code by a call to Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers. Removed now unused variables from Tcl_Close. Added the subcommands 'cut', 'forgetch', 'splice' and 'isshared' to the test code (TclTestChannelCmd). * unix/tclUnixThread.c: Implemented Tcl_JoinThread using the pthread-functionality. * win/tclWinThrd.c: Fixed several small typos in comments. Implemented Tcl_JoinThread using a platform independent emulation layer (see generic/tclThreadJoin.c below). Added 'joinLock' to serialize Tcl_CreateThread and TclpExitThread to prevent a race for joinable threads. * mac/tclMacThrd.c: Implemented Tcl_JoinThread using a platform independent emulation layer (see generic/tclThreadJoin.c below). Due to the cooperative nature of threading on this platform the race mentioned above is not present. * generic/tclThreadJoin.c: New file. Contains a platform independent emulation layer helping in the implementation of joinable threads for the win and mac platforms. * generic/tclInt.h: Added declarations for TclJoinThread, TclRememberJoinableThread and TclSignalExitThread. These procedures define the API of the emulation layer for joinable threads (see generic/tclThreadJoin.c above). * win/Makefile.in: * win/makefile.vc: Added generic/tclTheadJoin.o to the rules. * mac/: I don't know to which file generic/tclTheadJoin.o has to be added to so that it compiles. Sorry. * unix/tclUnixChan.c: #ifdef'd the thread-local list of file channels as it prevents us from transfering channels. To restore this we may need an extended interface to drivers in the future. Target: 9.0. Found while testing the new transfer of channels. The information in this list for a channel was left behind and then crashed the system during finalization. * generic/tclThreadTest.c: Added -joinable flag to 'testthread create'. Added subcommand 'testthread join'. * doc/CrtChannel.3: Added documentation for Tcl_IsChannelRegistered, Tcl_IsChannelShared, Tcl_CutChannel, Tcl_SpliceChannel, Tcl_IsChannelExisting and Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers. * doc/Thread.3: Added documentation for Tcl_JoinThread. * tests/thread.test: Added tests for joining of threads.
* * doc/library.n: Added entries for auto_qualify and auto_import [Bug: 1271].ericm2000-04-286-74/+192
| | | | | | | * doc/Init.3: Manual entry for Tcl_Init [Bug: 1820]. * doc/expr.n: Added documentation for each of the math library functions that expr supports [Bug: 1054].
* * doc/memory.n: Man page for Tcl "memory" command, which isericm2000-04-273-0/+231
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | created when TCL_MEM_DEBUG is defined at compile time. * doc/TCL_MEM_DEBUG.3: Man page with overall information about TCL_MEM_DEBUG usage. * doc/DumpActiveMemory.3: Man page for Tcl_DumpActiveMemory, Tcl_InitMemory, and Tcl_ValidateAllMemory [Bug: 1816, 1835]. * generic/tclCkalloc.c: Fixed some function headers. * unix/mkLinks: Regen'd with new mkLinks.tcl. * unix/mkLinks.tcl: Fixed indentation, made link setup more intelligent (only do one existance test per man page, instead of one per function).
