Changed script library resource names to lowercase (i.e. same as corresponding files). Used Tcl_JoinPath instead of string append. Check that system encoding could be loaded before utf translating the LibraryPath. * mac/tclMacApplication.r: * mac/tclMacLibrary.r: * mac/tclMacOSA.r: * mac/tclMacResource.r: minor version resources cleanup 2001-12-21 Mo DeJong * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_PATH_TCLCONFIG, SC_PATH_TKCONFIG): Search for config file using exec_prefix instead of prefix when no --with-tcl or --with-tk argument is used.

This resulted in corrupted when checked-out on translating CVS clients such as windows (CRCRLF) and mac (CRCR). 2001-12-19 Mo DeJong * unix/configure: * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Update SunOS 5.[0-6] target so that correct linker options are passed to gcc or ld. [Tk Bug 220863] 2001-12-19 Mo DeJong * unix/README: Update to account for changes in the unix/dltest directory, the way autoconf is run, and the new "make shell" target. 2001-12-19 Mo DeJong * unix/Makefile.in: Rename dltest to dlpkgs to fix problem where lib files were not getting built because dltest/ directory already existed. 2001-12-19 Jeff Hobbs * win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialCheckProc): corrected time calculations to be unsigned. (schroedter) 2001-12-18 Mo DeJong * unix/Makefile.in: Define new dltest target that simply does a cd to dltest/ before running make. There is no need for the separate configure script that was previously being used. * unix/configure: Regen. * unix/configure.in: Subst into dltest/Makefile. * unix/dltest/Makefile.in: Define LIBS using DL_LIBS, LIBS, and MATH_LIBS variables instead of TCL_LIBS variable from tclConfig.sh. * unix/dltest/README: Update readme to account for new configure free implementation. * unix/dltest/configure: Removed. * unix/dltest/configure.in: Removed. 2001-12-18 Donal K.

[Patch 435258] 2001-11-23 Daniel Steffen Up-port to 8.4 of mac code changes for 8.3.3 & various new changes for 8.4, some already backported to 8.3.4. [Patch 435658] * generic/tclObj.c: added #include to fix missing prototype errors * generic/tcl.h: MAC_TCL: addition of ConditionalMacros.h and use of DLLIMPORT and DLLEXPORT like on other platforms. ( => no longer need the .exp files and can remove use of #pragma export that never worked well) removed line continuation in #if clause as this breaks the mac resource compiler (note that *.r files include tcl.h) * mac/tclMacFile.c: fixed bug in permission checking code * mac/tclMacLoad.c: corrected utf-8 handling, comparison of package names to code fragment names changed to only match on the length of package name, this allows for fragment names with version numbers appended. * mac/tclMacInt.h: * generic/tclInt.h: * mac/tclMacTime.c: * generic/tclIOUtil.c: moved declaration of TclpGetGMTOffset() * mac/tclMacShLib.exp: * mac/tclMacOSA.exp: * mac/tclMacMSLPrefix.h: removed files * unix/Makefile.in: removed reference to .exp files * mac/MW_TclBuildLibHeader.h: * mac/MW_TclBuildLibHeader.pch: * mac/MW_TclHeaderCommon.h: * mac/MW_TclStaticHeader.h: * mac/MW_TclStaticHeader.pch: new precompiled header files * mac/MW_TclAppleScriptHeader.pch: * mac/MW_TclHeader.pch: * mac/MW_TclTestHeader.pch: * mac/tclMacCommonPch.h: revised precompiled header handling: now include a common header file 'MW_TclHeaderCommon.h' from all .pch files, the .pch files themselves now only setup #defines (e.g. BUILD_tcl, STATIC_BUILD, TCL_DEBUG, TCL_THREADS) like in makefiles on other platforms. * mac/tclMac.h: * mac/tclMacPort.h: * mac/tclMacInt.h: use of BUILD_tcl and TCL_STORAGE_CLASS like on other platforms, standardize #include'd files to what's done on other platforms, removed use of #pragma export. * mac/tcltkMacBuildSupport.sea.hqx: new archive of mac build support files & suggested build environment directory hierarchy: 'Building MacTclTk' & 'CW Pro6 changes' readme's. projects for MoreFiles 1.5.2 static & shared libraries. project & sources for 'pseudoCarbonSupport', see below. included XML versions of the projects for CW Pro5 or Pro7 users. * mac/tclMacProjects.sea.hqx: updated mac build project files: build support for CodeWarrior Pro6, UnivIntf 3.4 & shared runtime libraries: the MSL libraries and MoreFiles are no longer compiled into Tcl.shlb, all non-static binaries now use the Pro6 shared runtime libraries and MoreFiles.shlb. These shlbs are merged into the standard Wish and TclShell, but 3rd party applications linking with Tcl.shlb or Tk.shlb need to setup access to them. (see the "(sh-ppc)" targets for how to do this.) included XML versions of the projects for CW Pro5 or Pro7 users. use compat/strtod.c instead of MSL's strtod() use WASTE versions of MSL for tcl test target to avoid text buffer cutoff at 32k. Merging the full MSL.shlb and the other shlbs into Wish & TclShell makes them a bit larger than before, use unmerged binaries to avoid copying the shared code with every application, e.g. when deploying numerous Wish based droplets. Note that using CW Pro5 to compile extensions is in principle still possible, but need to link with Pro6 runtime libraries. Tclapplescript now loads and runs on CFM68k. Highly experimental "pseudoCarbon" support for Tcl only on OS 8/9: binaries in "Build:(Carbon):" link against CarbonLib instead of InterfaceLib, however the actual code has not been carbonized! i.e. it will not run on OSX and may not even run properly with CarbonLib. This should in principle allow you to build & test OS9 CFM Carbon binaries that need to link with Tcl.shlb. On OSX you can use the native Tcl.framework, but you have to build a MachO binary as there is no CFM glue lib for Tcl.framework. the library pseudoCarbonSupport.shlb manually loads the symbols from InterfaceLib that are not in CarbonLib but are needed by the uncarbonized code in Tcl.shlb and TclShell. * generic/tclMain.c: MAC_TCL: workaround for broken/non-standard isatty on MW Pro6, #include instead of defining isatty * mac/tclMacPort.h: MW Pro6 changes for MSL fcntl.h, stat.h & isatty * mac/tclMacAppInit.c: add EXTERN to InstallConsole to enable DLL export via the TCL_STORAGE_CLASS mechanism. * mac/tclMacFCmd.c: fix for FSpDirectoryCopy API change * mac/tclMacLibrary.c: emit compile time error when TCL_REGISTER_LIBRARY and USE_TCL_STUBS are both defined at the same time in an extension, this use is not currently supported and will result in a crash when dynamically loading the extension. * mac/tclMacApplication.r: * mac/tclMacLibrary.r: * mac/tclMacOSA.r: * mac/tclMacResource.r: fixed obsolete copyrights/dates in version strings; updated version strings to standard usage; added support for '(Support Libraries)' subfolder for shared runtime libraries in unmerged binaries; commented out demo setting of "Tcl Environment Variables"; reorganized resources among these files to avoid multiple copies in applications and shared libraries, the script libraries are now no longer duplicated in Tclsh but are only included in the resources of Tcl.shlb. * mac/tclMacChan.c: * mac/tclMacSock.c: cast for *BlockMode * mac/tclMacUtil.c: * mac/tclMacMath.h: removed obsolete hypot() definition * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: * generic/tclInt.decls: * generic/tclStubInit.c: * mac/tclMacNotify.c: * mac/tclMacOSA.c: * mac/tclMacUtil.c: * generic/tclThreadTest.c: renamed routines conflicting with standard Apple or MoreFiles headers (at compile or link time): GetGlobalMouse -> GetGlobalMouseTcl FSpGetDirectoryID -> FSpGetDirectoryIDTcl FSpOpenResFileCompat -> FSpOpenResFileCompatTcl FSpCreateResFileCompat -> FSpCreateResFileCompatTcl NewThread -> NewTestThread the renamed MoreFiles *Tcl routines are just wrappers calling into the MoreFiles DLL. * mac/tclMacCommonPch.h: * mac/tclMacThrd.c: * mac/tclMacPanic.c: removed OLDROUTINENAMES define, renamed obsolete apple API names to modern equivalents; UH3.4 support: added #include , updated New*Proc() calls to New*UPP(). * mac/tclMacUnix.c: added missing (Tcl_Obj ***) cast to Tcl_ListObjGetElements call * mac/tclMacAlloc.c: modernized TclpSysAlloc() to use temporary memory instead of system heap memory when available (MacOS >= 7.5 and possibly earlier, use of system heap has been discouraged for a long time and has many disadvantages, e.g. memory isn't paged out, and errors can very easily bring the system down); fixed crashing bug in TclpSysRealloc() and CleanUpExitProc() where memory was being accessed after having been deallocated; fixed memory leak in (de)allocation code (for every block ever allocated with TclpSysAlloc, a Ptr was leaked), if temporary memory is available, don't track allocated memory, instead use RecoverHandle() to get Handle from Ptr, otherwise use doubly linked list to correctly track memory and free all allocated memory; added new option for ConfigureMemory: MEMORY_DONT_USE_TEMPMEM, disables use of temporary memory even when it would be available, only necessary when writing e.g. a driver (using tcl??); increased fraction of application heap reserved for OS routines to 512K * compat/strftime.c: * mac/tclMacTime.c: * mac/tclMacPort.h: * generic/tclInt.decls: * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: * generic/tclStubInit.c: timezone support for mac via TclpGetTZName() like on windows, using an inverse timezone table adapted from tclDate.c to map gmtoffset in seconds gotten from the MacOS APIs to a timezone string, as there is no good way to get this info from MacOS. I had to make up some unusual timezones and arbitrarily decide on the most standard of the multiple choices available for every timezone. * generic/tclExecute.c: workaround for a MSL bug/misfeature: for very small floats, MSL can return errno ERANGE but a non-zero value (< LDBL_MIN however) * mac/tclMacAppInit.c: support for WASTE text library using temporary memory, setting has no effect if WASTE is not used. * mac/tclMacPanic.c: removed duplicate code from generic/tclPanic.c and added that file to projects instead. * tests/all.tcl: set tcltest::singleProcess 1 as multiple processes are not available on the mac. * tests/cmdAH.test: access time not available on the mac, skip the atime touch test * tests/appendComp.test: * tests/cmdMZ.test: * tests/compile.test: * tests/exec.test: * tests/fileName.test: * tests/lset.test: * tests/namespace.test: * tests/tcltest.test: added missing cleanups/tests/catches that caused tests to fail on the mac. * doc/tclvars.n: doc bug, env(PWD) should be env(HOME) [Bug 463834] 2001-11-21 Don Porter * tests/trace.test (trace-8.8): Corrected test for Bug 219393. * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken,CallCommandTraces): * generic/tclCmdMZ>c (Tcl_UntraceCommand): Added Tcl_Preserve and Tcl_Release calls to prevent deletion of CommandTrace structures until all callers are done using them, preventing memory corruption.

Added Tcl_GetTime to the Stubs table and the library documentation. Added a TclpGetTime in tclUtil.c for backward compatibility of extensions. [Patch 483500, TIP#73] * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TimeObjCmd): Corrected an error in the [time] command that caused incorrect results to be returned if the total duration of all iterations exceeded 2**31 microseconds.

The final objective of this sequence of moves is to provide a clean, clear-cut interface between Tcl's core and the compiler/engine subsystem. 2001-11-20 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclBasic.c * generic/tclCompile.h: * generic/tclExecute.c: factoring out of common code in tclBasic.c (new function TclInterpReady defined: it resets the interp's result, then checks that it hasn't been deleted and that the nesting level is acceptable). Passed the responsibility of calling it to the *callers* of TclEvalObjvInternal. 2001-11-20 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclBasic.c * generic/tclExecute.c: a better variant of the previous-to-last commit (restoring numLevels computations).

[Bug 219409] (davygrvy) * unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings): update of patch from 2001-11-16 that uses the old Tcl encoding check mechanism as a fallback to the original. Also added a TCL_DEFAULT_ENCODING #define (defaults to iso8859-1). Tcl will first try setlocale and nl_langinfo, and if that fails, guess based on certain LANG|LC_* env vars. [Patch 418645] 2001-11-19 David Gravereaux * win/buildall.vc.bat: Added useful comments. 2001-11-19 Miguel Sofer * tests/compile.test: added a test for bug [Bug 483309] 2001-11-19 Vince Darley * win/tclWinFile.c: * win/tclWinFCmd.c: * win/tclWin32Dll.c: * doc/file.n: * tests/winFCmd.test: improved speed of file normalization for Win95/98, and clarified docs on differences in file normalization between NT/2000 and the older operating systems. Added test to ensure normalization is correct. 2001-11-19 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclBasic.c: * generic/tclParse.c: Code reorganisation. Moved all evaluation functions from tclParse.c to tclBasic.c, so that now tclParse.c deals exclusively with parsing and all evaluations are done by code in tclBasic.c. The functions moved are: TclEvalObjvInternal, Tcl_EvalObjv, Tcl_LogCommandInfo, Tcl_EvalTokensStandard, Tcl_EvalTokens, Tcl_EvalEx, Tcl_Eval, Tcl_EvalObj and Tcl_GlobalEvalObj. 2001-11-19 Donal K. Fellows * tests/trace.test (trace-8.8): Added adapted version of [Bug 219393] as new test; the test won't reliably show up the old problem unless it is being run under something like Purify, but something is better than nothing... * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_TraceVar2, Tcl_UntraceVar2): Added missing mask bits for trace result type and a check for a nonsense flag combination. * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TraceVarProc): Added missing test for NULL when deleting a trace that doesn't cause an error. * doc/TraceVar.3: Added documentation for change due to TIP#68. * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TraceVarInfo): Removed problematic errMsg field from structure. (TraceVarProc): Removed references to errMsg field and changed handling of errors so that they returned a Tcl_Obj* containing the error string. This minimizes the number of calls to the memory management subsystem. (TclTraceCommandObjCmd, TraceCommandProc): Removed references to errMsg field which was never used in command traces in any case. (Tcl_TraceObjCmd, TclTraceVariableObjCmd): Removed references to errMsg field and made variable traces register with TCL_TRACE_RESULT_OBJECT bit set. * generic/tcl.h (TCL_TRACE_RESULT_DYNAMIC,TCL_TRACE_RESULT_OBJECT): New constants to define how to handle the strings returned from trace callbacks [TIP#68] * generic/tclVar.c (CallTraces, Tcl_GetVar2Ex, TclGetIndexedScalar, (TclGetElementOfIndexedArray, Tcl_SetVar2Ex, TclSetIndexedScalar, (TclSetElementOfIndexedArray, Tcl_UnsetVar2, Tcl_ArrayObjCmd, (TclDeleteVars, TclDeleteCompiledLocalVars, DeleteArray, (TclVarTraceExists): Support for those new trace flags. 2001-11-19 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclCompCmds.c: patch for [Bug 483309] (petasis). 2001-11-16 Kevin B.

[Patch 418645] (hobbs, wagner) 2001-11-16 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclCompile.h: * generic/tclExecute.c: * generic/tclObj.c: moved Tcl_GetCommandFromObj and all defining code for tclCmdNameType objects to tclObj.c (from tclExecute.c).

[Bug 480896] 2001-11-12 David Gravereaux * win/makefile.vc: * win/rules.vc: Small bug fixes. * win/README: added some docs pointing to the docs in makefile.vc for it's use. 2001-10-17 Kevin B. Kenny * doc/lappend.n: * doc/lindex.n: * doc/linsert.n: * doc/list.n: * doc/llength.n: * doc/lrange.n: * doc/lsearch.n: * doc/lset.n (new-file): * doc/lsort.n: * generic/tclBasic.c (builtInCmds, Tcl_EvalObjEx): * generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LindexObjCmd, Tcl_LindexList): (Tcl_LindexFlat, Tcl_LsetObjCmd): * generic/tclCompCmds.c (Tcl_CompileLindexCmd, Tcl_CompileLsetCmd): * generic/tclCompile.c: * generic/tclCompile.h: * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): * generic/tclInt.decls: * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclIntDecls.h: * generic/tclListObj.c (TclLsetList, TclLsetFlat, TclSetListElement): * generic/tclObj.c (TclInitObjSubsystem): * generic/tclStubInit.c: * generic/tclTestObj.c (TestobjCmd): * generic/tclUtil.c (TclGetIntForIndex, SetEndOffsetFromAny): * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_LappendObjCmd): * tests/lindex.test: * tests/lset.test (new-file): * tests/lsetComp.test (new-file): * tests/obj.test: * tests/string.test: * tests/stringComp.test: Reference implementation of TIP's #22, #33 and #45. Adds the ability of the [lindex] command to have multiple index arguments, and adds the [lset] command. Both commands are byte-code compiled. [Patch 471874] (work by Kenny, commited by Hobbs) 2001-11-12 David Gravereaux * win/buildall.vc.bat(new): * win/makefile.vc: Small fix with deriving the "OriginalFilename" string in the .rc scripts. Added a quick batchfile for building the entire thing. 2001-11-12 Jeff Hobbs * doc/FileSystem.3: * doc/file.n: * doc/tcltest.n: converted use of \' to more reasonable format. 2001-11-10 Mo DeJong * unix/Makefile.in: * win/Makefile.in: Add "make gdb" target. This target can run tclsh inside either gdb or insight. 2001-11-10 David Gravereaux * win/makefile.vc: Added a check to make sure one runs the makefile from the /win directory only. * win/mkd.bat: * win/rmd.bat: Changes from Llyod Lim for better stability. [Patch 456759] 2001-11-09 David Gravereaux * win/makefile.vc: * win/tcl.dsp: winhelp target fixes for non-NT systems. It seems NMAKE under these remembers changed directories during commands. A new tcltest feature from Peter Spjuth to specify a pattern file from the commandline and redirecting output to a file when not under NT with it's scrollback console. Then it replays it, piped through more. Added 2 new static "configurations" to tcl.dsp. I could keep adding more, but I think we should leave it up to the user for customizing it. Sticky-points left: 'profile' option. 2001-11-09 Jeff Hobbs * doc/FileSystem.3: * doc/StdChannels.3: * doc/file.n: * doc/tcltest.n: * tools/man2help.tcl: * tools/man2help2.tcl: fixed winhelp generation problems [Patch 480268] * unix/configure: * unix/tcl.m4: added -lc to AIX libs, fixed path to ldAix 2001-11-09 Don Porter * tests/var.test: * generic/tclVar.c: Corrected bug in [global] when dealing with variable names matching :*. [Bug 480176] 2001-11-08 Mo DeJong Fixup stack size under OSF1. [Patch 474790] * unix/configure: Regen. * unix/tcl.m4: Add HAVE_PTHREAD_ATTR_SETSTACKSIZE define to EXTRA_CFLAGS to adjust initial stack size. 2001-11-08 Mo DeJong Enable thread support under FreeBSD. [Bug 473708] * unix/configure: Regen. * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_THREADS): Check for pthread functions in libc_r and enable thread support if found. * unix/dltest/Makefile.in: Set SHLIB_LD_LIBS and use it in the Makefile to properly link a shared library. 2001-11-08 Mo DeJong * unix/Makefile.in: * unix/dltest/Makefile.in: Avoid adding libc to the LIBS variable since it is not needed when linking with CC. If required when linking with LD it should be done on a case by case basis in tcl.m4. 2001-11-08 David Gravereaux * win/rules.vc: * win/makefile.vc: Fixed install target to adjust for the different build types. Added a 'linkexten' option to link the win extensions inside the shell when built static. Placed win/tclAppInit.c patch in SF patch DB for approval. 'profile' option not hooked in yet. Everything else know is done. * win/tcl.dsp(new): * win/tcl.dsw(new): Simple MsDev stub project files that calls makefile.vc. Will help run Tcl in the debugger easier without confusing MsDev for where the .pdb files are. 2001-11-07 Mo DeJong * unix/Makefile.in: * win/Makefile.in: Print a message indicating that the user should run "make genstubs" when the generated tclStubInit.c file is out of date. We can't regenerate automatically since there may be no tclsh on the system and that would cause bootstrap problems. [Bug 465874] 2001-11-07 Mo DeJong Define TCL_INCLUDE_SPEC in tclConfig.sh. It should be included by extensions that need to find Tcl include headers in the install location. The user can override the include install dir with --includedir so we need to record this information for extensions. [Bug 421835] * unix/configure: Regen. * unix/configure.in: Define TCL_INCLUDE_SPEC. * unix/tclConfig.sh.in: Define TCL_INCLUDE_SPEC. * win/configure: Regen. * win/configure.in: Define TCL_INCLUDE_SPEC. * win/tclConfig.sh.in: Define TCL_INCLUDE_SPEC. 2001-11-07 David Gravereaux * win/rules.vc: * win/makefile.vc: Dropped the NOMSVCRT macro and put it on the option list instead. It makes more sense to me this way as NOMSVCRT=0 would only be the valid setting. Fixed the dde and reg extension for building static. Improved, but not perfected, the winhelp target. 2001-11-07 Mo DeJong * win/README: Change minimum VC++ version to 5.X since 4.X is known not to work. Indicate that Mingw is required and building with Cygwin gcc is not supported. Include instructions that indicate how to install Mingw and what URLs folks should use to download the supported version of Mingw. * win/configure: Regen. * win/configure.in: Error out if user tries to compile the Windows version of Tcl with Cygwin gcc. Users should compile with Mingw gcc instead. 2001-11-06 Andreas Kupries * generic/tclIO.c (ReadChars): Fixed [Bug 478856] reported by Stuart Cassoff . The bug caused loss of fileevents when [read]ing less data from the channel than buffered. Due to an empty input buffer the flag CHANNEL_NEED_MORE_DATA was set but never reset, causing the I/O system to wait for more data instead of using a timer to synthesize fileevents and to flush the pending data out of the buffers. 2001-11-06 David Gravereaux * win/rules.vc (new): * win/makefile.vc: Complete over/under rewrite to support numerous build options all from the commandline itself without needing to edit the makefile. Now requires vcvars32.bat to be run prior to running nmake for bootstraping the environment. Fully doc'd usage for it is in makefile.vc. Commentary welcome. Sticky points left are: 1) winhelp target shows errors in the converting script. 2) .rc scripts aren't getting the right #defines to build the correct "OriginalFilename" strings. (have patch, won't commit yet) 3) Naming convention with suffixes describing the buildtype are 'tsdx' which will need public acceptance. ie. tclsh84tsx.exe is a (t) threaded shell (s) statically linked to the core and (x) uses msvcrt instead of libcmt. 2001-11-04 Vince Darley * library/init.tcl: made filesystem fallback proc ::tcl::CopyDirectory more robust to vagaries of non-native filesystems. 2001-11-02 Vince Darley * doc/file.n: * generic/tclIOUtil.c: updated documentation and comments to clarify behaviour of 'file copy' wrt soft links. 2001-10-29 Vince Darley * win/tclWinFile.c: fix to '-types {f r}' bug in TclpMatchInDirectory (which could cause a UMR, as well as returning wrong results). Also improved API for 'stat' to resolve [Bug 219258]. * win/tclWin32Dll.c * win/tclWinInt.h: addition of improved stat API to internal lookup table. * tests/fileName.test: two new tests for the above bug. * generic/tclIOUtil.c: some cleanup of comments and #ifdefs 2001-10-29 Donal K. Fellows * unix/tclUnixFile.c (TclpMatchInDirectory): Argument to access() was entryPtr->d_name instead of nativeEntry which failed when trying to check access for files in other than the current directory. [Bug 475941, reported by Georgios Petasis] 2001-10-25 Donal K. Fellows * unix/tclUnixChan.c: Added stateUpdated member to struct TtyState. (TtyCloseProc,TtySetOptionProc,TtyInit): Use stateUpdated member of TtyState to decide whether it is necessary to reset a serial port when Tcl closes it. Blindly resetting can cause Tcl to be sent an unexpected SIGTSTP when it is executing in the background [Bug 471374, reported by Chris Nelson] 2001-10-22 Andreas Kupries * doc/ObjectType.3: Minor documentation fix, reported by David N. Welton directly to me. 2001-10-22 Vince Darley * win/tclWinFCmd.c: fix to stop test suite from hanging process under some versions of WinNT. [Bug 466102] (Kevin Kenny) 2001-10-18 Jeff Hobbs * tests/clock.test (clock-8.1): * generic/tclDate.c (RelativeMonth): * generic/tclGetDate.y (RelativeMonth): corrected off-by-one-day error in clock scan with relative months and years during swing hours. [Bug 413397, Patch 414024] (lavana) 2001-10-18 Vince Darley * generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to bug in Tcl_FSChdir shown up by recent tclkit builds. 2001-10-17 Jeff Hobbs * unix/tclUnixPipe.c (PipeInputProc, PipeOutputProc): do immediate retry when error is returned with errno == EINTR. [Bug 415131] (leger) 2001-10-16 Jeff Hobbs * unix/tclLoadAout.c (TclGuessPackageName): removed unused vars and fixed warnings. [Bug 446622] (lim) 2001-10-15 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclProc.c: changing a memcmp to strncmp to avoid a memory error detected by purify (thanks Jeff); modify style to agrre with the style guide. 2001-10-15 Andreas Kupries * generic/tclInt.decls (TclExpandCodeArray,TclGetInstructionTable): Added to internal stubs table. Tclcompiler (Tclpro project) needs them if used as loadable package under Windows. Changed signatures. We don't want to describe compiler internal structures in "tclInt.h". * generic/tclCompile.h: S.a. Removed function declarations. * generic/tclCompile.c: S.a. Adapted to changed signatures. 2001-10-15 Jeff Hobbs * unix/configure: * unix/configure.in: * win/configure: * win/configure.in: * win/tcl.m4: reworked to be a little cleaner in comparison to each other, and to AC_SUBST even empty vars for win/tclConfig.sh * generic/tclFileName.c: minor code cleanup * generic/tcl.h: moved #define of WIN32 to tcl.h where __WIN32__ is defined and added #ifndef check. * doc/open.n: moved all fconfigure option docs to fconfigure.n * doc/fconfigure.n: added serial config options * win/tclWinChan.c: * win/tclWinPort.h: * win/tclWinSerial.c: added TIP #35 Windows enhancements for serial configuration. [Patch 438509] (schroedter) 2001-10-15 Vince Darley * generic/tclFCmd.c: fix to memory leak in TclFileDeleteCmd on certain error conditions. * doc/FileSystem.3: fix to typo. 2001-10-12 Jeff Hobbs * library/encoding/ebcdic.enc: * tools/encoding/ebcdic.txt: EBCDIC charset mapping. [Patch 219323] (nijtmans) * library/encoding/tis-620.enc: * tools/encoding/tis-620.txt: TIS-620 charset mapping. [Patch 467423] (poonlap) * tests/http.test: added removeFile for outdata * tests/ioCmd.test: added catch around file removal, as Windows file locking throws errors. * tests/socket.test (socket-7.2): corrected to work on Win2K. 2001-10-12 Miguel Sofer * tests/compile.test: new tests for [Bug 467523]; they are only effective if TCL_MEM_DEBUG was set during compilation. 2001-10-11 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclLiteral.c (TclReleaseLiteral): insured that self-referential bytecodes are properly cleaned up on interpreter deletion [Bug 467523] (Ronnie Brunner) 2001-10-10 David Gravereaux * win/tclWinPort.h: #include needed to get moved to after #include or wierd misunderstandings took place when -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0400 is set for outside code that requires knowledge of Tcl innards. General header macro magic applied liberally... 2001-10-10 Don Porter * tests/unixInit.test: Corrected restore of ::env(LANG). 2001-10-09 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_SplitPath): corrected mem leak intro'd with VFS code where the result obj from Tcl_FSSplitPath was not getting freed. 2001-10-09 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclLiteral.c: (TclReleaseLiteral) reverted previous patch for [Bug 467523] - cure is worse than the illness. 2001-10-05 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclLiteral.c: (TclReleaseLiteral) insured that self-referential bytecodes are properly cleaned up on interpreter deletion.

This did not include some Mac encodings that have special multi-unichar translations now (like symbols, dingbats and japanese). Also does not include big5, gb or euc* as those have different formats in the latest Unicode version that need new conversion tools. Not all related .enc files changed as some had been updates separately. 2001-10-03 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_FinalizeThread): moved freeing of tclLibraryPath to before the thread exit handlers are called. Slight modification to change on 2001-09-24. 2001-10-01 Jeff Hobbs * win/configure: regen'ed * win/tcl.m4: * win/makefile.vc: added Win64 SDK RC1 compilation support * win/Makefile.in: added $(LDFLAGS_CONSOLE) to TCLSH, TCLTEST and PIPE_DLL_FILE targets to get the link flags * win/tclWinInit.c: minor 64bit casts 2001-10-01 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclCmdIL.c: * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: * generic/tclParseExpr.c: removed unnecessary inclusion of tclCompile.h and made a small modification in (InfoBodyCmd) to improve the isolation of the compiler/engine subsystem. 2001-09-29 Vince Darley * generic/tclIOUtil.c: * doc/FileSystem.3: corrected and clarified documentation for 'Tcl_FSListVolumes(Proc)'. No code changes. 2001-09-28 Miguel Sofer * doc/FindExec.3: added a comment not to change the working directory before calling Tcl_GetNameOfExecutable. [Bug 219215] 2001-09-28 Kevin Kenny * generic/tclIO.c: added two more '(ClientData)' casts on calls to Tcl_Preserve and Tcl_Release -- ones that Vince apparently missed. 2001-09-28 Donal K. Fellows * doc/lsort.n: Improved doc... * generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd, SortCompare): Made offset-from-end indexing work, and factored out some "magic numbers" for easier understanding. [Bug 465674] * tests/cmdIL.test (cmdIL-1.26): Added test for offset-from-end indexing for lsort. 2001-09-28 Vince Darley * win/tclWinFCmd.c: * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: fix to performance issue reported by jcw in which 'access("")' is called unnecessarily when normalizing any absolute path. * generic/tclIO.c: added '(ClientData)' cast to calls to Tcl_(Preserve|Release) newly introduced, fixing compile error on Windows. 2001-09-27 Don Porter * doc/FileSystem.3 (Tcl_FSLoadFile): * generic/tcl.decls (Tcl_FSLoadFile): * generic/tcl.h (Tcl_FSLoadFileProc): * generic/tclInt.h (TclpLoadFile): * generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSLoadFile): * generic/tclLoadNone.c (TclpLoadFile): * generic/tclTest.c (TestReportLoadFile): * library/ldAout.tcl: * mac/tclMacLoad.c (TclpLoadFile): * unix/tclLoadAix.c (TclpLoadFile): * unix/tclLoadAout.c (TclpLoadFile): * unix/tclLoadDl.c (TclpLoadFile): * unix/tclLoadDld.c (TclpLoadFile): * unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpLoadFile): * unix/tclLoadNext.c (TclpLoadFile): * unix/tclLoadOSF.c (TclpLoadFile): * unix/tclLoadShl.c (TclpLoadFile): * win/tclWinLoad.c (TclpLoadFile): * win/tclWinFCmd.c (DoRemoveJustDirectory): More CONST poisoning fixes from the 2001-09-24 TIP 27 changes. CONST-ified Tcl_FSLoadFile and TclpLoadFile. Report and patch from Kevin Kenny. [Bug 465833] * generic/tclIO.c (ChannelTimerProc): Added Tcl_Preserve() and Tcl_Release() to fix segfault introduced by the 2001-09-26 changes.

[Patch 465442] * generic/tclDecls.h: * generic/tclIntDecls.h: make genstubs 2001-09-26 Andreas Kupries * doc/fileevent.n: Accepted [Patch 465279] adding an example to the fileevent manpage. Minor modifications to get a better formatting. Report and patch by David N. Welton . * The changes below fix [Bug 462317] where Expect tried to read more than was in the buffers and then blocked in the OS call as its pty channel driver provides no blockmodeproc through which the OS could be notified of blocking-behaviour. Because of this the general I/O core has to take more care than usual to preserve the semantics of non-blocking channels. The problem was reported by "Kevin O'Gorman" . * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_ReadRaw): Do not read from the driver if the channel is non-blocking and the fileevent causing the read was generated by a timer. We do not know if there is data available from the OS. Instead of going to the OS for more and potentially blocking we simply signal EWOULDBLOCK to the higher levels to cause the system to wait for true fileevents. (GetInput): Same as before. (ChannelTimerProc): Added set and clear of CHANNEL_TIMER_FEV. * generic/tclIO.h (CHANNEL_TIMER_FEV): New flag for channels. Is set if a fileevent was generated by a timer, the channel is not blocking and the driver did not provide a blockmodeproc. In that case the I/O core has to be especially careful about going to the driver for more data. 2001-09-26 Don Porter * doc/SplitPath.3 (Tcl_GetPathType): * generic/tcl.decls (Tcl_GetPathType): * generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_GetPathType): * win/tclWinFile.c (TclpMatchInDirectory, NativeStat): Vince Darley reports the 2001-09-24 TIP 27 changes left the win directory CONST poisoned.

He also provided the patch. * generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): Moved release of 'tclLibraryPath' to Tcl_FinalizeThread. (Tcl_FinalizeThread): See above, new place for release of 'tclLibraryPath'. 2001-09-24 Donal K. Fellows * tools/encoding/cp1252.txt: File was missing part of the encoding [euro, ZCaron and zcaron]. * doc/OpenFileChnl.3: Add docs for Tcl_OutputBuffered; remove some old changebars. 2001-09-21 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): corrected INST_STR_CMP else case for strings to pass true utf char length to Tcl_UtfNCmp. 2001-09-20 Jeff Hobbs * win/tclWinInit.c: added extra processor definitions. (mstacy) * win/tclWinSock.c (SocketThread): corrected pointer cast for _WIN64. * win/tclWinNotify.c: removed unnecessary winsock include (it is already in from tclWinPort.h). * win/tclWinPort.h: changed winsock.h include to winsock2.h. Reverses change from 2000-11-16, but is necessary for WIN64. Extensions should comply with defined OS words, or use #ifndef. 2001-09-20 Donal K. Fellows * tests/socket.test: removed dependence on being run from same dir as remote.tcl, which only now needs to be in the same dir as this file. [Bug 219326] 2001-09-19 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclTest.c (TestcmdtokenCmd): corrected pointer storage/retrieval for 64bit machines. * generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FormatObjCmd): * generic/tclScan.c (Tcl_ScanObjCmd): corrected handling of format and scan on 64-bit machines. [Bug 412696] (rmax) * unix/configure: regen'ed * unix/tcl.m4: added --enable-64bit support for HP-11 with the 64-bit kernel. * tests/basic.test: * tests/cmdInfo.test: improved skip reporting of missing commands * tests/winFCmd.test: simplified error check for winFCmd-7.9 * tests/winPipe.test: removed obsolete cat16 tests * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): fixed invalid usage of valuePtr in TRACE_WITH_OBJ in INST_EVAL_STK case. [Bug 462594] Changed INST_STR_CMP instruction to promote to Unicode strings only when one of the strings is already of Unicode type. * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): * generic/tclCompile.c (instructionTable): * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileStringCmd): INST_STR_MATCH - Updated to Int1 instruction type and added special case to use INST_STR_EQ instead when no glob chars are specified in a static string. * tests/{for.test,foreach.test,if.test,while.test}: * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileForCmd, TclCompileForeachCmd, TclCompileIfCmd, TclCompileWhileCmd): Corrected the overaggressive compiling of loop bodies enclosed in ""s. [Bug 219166] (msofer) 2001-09-19 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclExecute.c: insured that execution stack errors are also detected at abnormal returns. 2001-09-19 Donal K. Fellows * doc/socket.n: Added documentation to mention what happens when a server socket is created with port=0. Removed an old change bar, and no new change bar because Tcl has always behaved this way as it is really a poorly-documented standards-defined OS feature. * tests/util.test (util-8.1): Test derived from code to detect the problem, but the test always works in the C locale, so beware if you are maintaining the code. * generic/tclUtil.c (TclNeedSpace): Rewrote to be UTF-8 aware. [Bug 411825, but not that patch which would have added extra spaces if there was a real non-ASCII space involved.] 2001-09-18 Andreas Kupries * generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_PutsObjCmd): Rewritten to have saner and faster argument handling. [Bug 123552], [Patch 402564] (fellows) 2001-09-18 Don Porter * unix/configure: Regen. * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): On Linux, disable inlining when one of the compat/*.c routines is to be linked in. [Patch 440891] 2001-09-17 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tcl.h: removed forced #define USE_TCLALLOC 1 for Windows. This means the native system allocator will be used by default. This should be binary and source compatible with extensions, as Tcl_Alloc is a properly stubbed function. 2001-09-17 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclExecute.c: corrected small bug in [Patch 456668] - the varFramePtr was not restored in one possible exit. 2001-09-17 Miguel Sofer * doc/tclvars.n: * generic/tclCompile.c: * generic/tclCompile.h: * generic/tclExecute.c: * generic/tclProc.c: disabled all compile and execution tracing functionality in standard builds; TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG is now necessary to enable it. [Bug 451858] 2001-09-14 Andreas Kupries * doc/gets.n: * doc/read.n: * doc/puts.n: * doc/flush.n: * doc/fconfigure.n: * doc/flush.n: * doc/eof.n: * doc/seek.n: * doc/tell.n: * doc/close.n: * doc/fileevent.n: Added references to the Tcl standard channels. Item [219250], reported by David LeBlanc . Thanks to Christopher Nelson for doing editorial work. 2001-09-13 Andreas Kupries * win/Makefile.in: * win/configure.in: * win/makefile.bc: * win/makefile.vc: * library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl: Fixed version numbers from bogus tcl versions to independent versions for dde and registry packages. 2001-09-13 Jeff Hobbs * tests/regexp.test (regexp-20.1): * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): had to adjust fix from 2001-08-06 to actually duplicate the objects in certain cases. This is really a place where feather would have been essential. [Bug 461322] * generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UtfPrev): corrected to return the proper location when the middle of a UTF-8 byte was passed in [Tk Bug 450504] * ChangeLog.1999: * ChangeLog: broke changes from 199x into ChangeLog.1999 to reduce size of the main ChangeLog. 2001-09-13 Andreas Kupries * tests/ioCmd.test: Changed the computation of the result for iocmd-8.1[123] so that the tests work for single- and multi-process execution of the testsuite. Depending on the choice of the user stdout is a tty or not and thus reports different channel options. Fixes [460993] reported by Don Porter. 2001-09-13 Miguel Sofer * doc/ParseCmd.3: * generic/tcl.decls: * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SubstObjCmd): * generic/tclDecls.h: * generic/tclParse.c: * generic/tclStubInit.c: * tests/parse.test: Deprecate the use of Tcl_EvalTokens, replaced by the new Tcl_EvalTokensStandard. The new function performs the same duties but adheres to the standard return convention for Tcl evaluations; the deprecated function could only return TCL_OK or TCL_ERROR, which caused [Bug 219384] and [Bug 455151]. This patch implements [TIP 56]. 2001-09-12 Mo DeJong * unix/configure: Regen. * unix/tcl.m4: Invert the logic that checks for $GCC. Instead of checking for "$GCC" = "no" we check for "$GCC" != "yes" or simply swap the true and false blocks of code in an if statement. That way if GCC is set to "" everything will still work. [Bug 460991] 2001-09-12 Don Porter * tests/appendComp.test: * tests/lsearch.test: * tests/namespace.test: * tests/rename.test: * tests/split.test: Corrected tests to better isolate tests in one file from influencing tests in other files. [Bug 460591] 2001-09-12 Miguel Sofer * generic/tcl.decls: reserved stub #481 for the implementation of [TIP 56] 2001-09-11 Andreas Kupries * doc/OpenFileChnl.3: Added documentation for Tcl_WriteRaw and Tcl_ReadRaw [Bug 414929]. * doc/CrtChannel.3: Added documentation for Tcl_ChannelBuffered and Tcl_GetTopChannel [Bug 414929]. * The changes below are a fix for [Bug 219253]. * tests/socket.test: Removed _most_ instances of hardwired port numbers for listening sockets. Remaining are the ports in all tests with constraint 'doTestsWithRemoteServer'. These seem to be designed for a more controlled environment and are usually skipped when running the testsuite. * tests/io.test: Removed all instances of hardwired port numbers for listening sockets. 2001-09-10 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclEvent.c (TclInExit): Corrected handling of tsd in late stages of finalization. [Bug 419449] (darley) * tests/stack.test: * generic/tclInterp.c (AliasObjCmd): Check the numLevels to ensure that we aren't hitting some alias loop condition. [Bug 443184] 2001-09-10 Mo DeJong * unix/configure: Regen. * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Don't include . characters in the Tcl library name when building on FreeBSD 3.X and later systems.

[Bug 402725] 2001-09-10 Don Porter * unix/mkLinks (Tcl_FSLink): Updated to reflect 2001-08-23 file system changes. * unix/tclLoadShl.c: Added #include of tclInt.h; access to Tcl internals, notably TclpUnloadFile(), is required. Thanks to Bob Techentin for report and patch. [Bug 459305] * generic/tclInitScript.h (initScript): * win/tclWinInit.c (TCL_REGISTRY_KEY, TclpSetVariables): Removed vestiges of Tcl's old initialization from registry variables. [Bug 455645] 2001-09-10 Andreas Kupries * generic/tclInt.decls: Also added 'TclWinFlushDirtyChannels' to the internal platform specific stub table. * win/tclWinFile.c (TclpObjStat): Now added the call to 'TclWinFlushDirtyChannels' to this function. I don't know where my head was last thursday (2001-09-06), but the call was actually added to 'TclpObjChdir', i.e. the implementation of [cd]. Corrected this now. Thanks to Vince Darley for spotting this. 2001-09-10 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclProc.c: * tests/proc.test: made [proc] bytecompile a no-op for procs defined with _args_ as single argument and an empty body. [FRQ 451441] 2001-09-09 Mo DeJong * unix/Makefile.in: * win/Makefile.in: Use () around variable name instead of {}. Use TCLTEST variable directly instead of depending on the tcltest alias. 2001-09-09 David Gravereaux * generic/tcl.h: * generic/tclPlatDecls.h: Reminder from David Cuthbert that I hadn't finished the Borland compatibility stuff. [Patch 436116] 2001-09-09 Mo DeJong * tests/cmdAH.test: Modify cmdAH-20.5 and cmdAH-24.8 to display the file atime or mtime results if the test fails. 2001-09-08 David Gravereaux * win/mkd.bat: * win/rmd.bat: made these text files, text files again. [Patch 451333] 2001-09-08 Mo DeJong * win/mkd.bat: * win/rmd.bat: Apply binary property (cvs admin -kb) to files and convert to CRLF linefeed format to fix the VC++ build. [Bug 219409] 2001-09-08 Vince Darley * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclFCmd.c: * doc/FileSystem.3: * generic/tclIOUtil.c: removed Tcl_FSCopyFile fallback to channel copying, since the channels will not have access to interpreters and the channel copying currently requires an interp. Code which required cross-platform copies always has interpreters, so that solves the problem. Fixes bug in TclKit. 2001-09-07 David Gravereaux * win/tcl.m4: Added -link50compat option so a VC6 linker makes a VC5 (pre sp3) compatible import library. [Bug 219257] 2001-09-07 Mo DeJong * win/tclWinThrd.c (TclpThreadExit): Cast status argument to _endthreadex to unsigned instead of DWORD to match the Win32 function prototype. 2001-09-06 Andreas Kupries * All the changes below serve to fix bug [219148] which reports a 80x performance hit for file I/O on Win* systems. On my system it was closer to a 120x hit. Problem report by Uwe Traum . The fix goes like this: The obstacle is 'FlushFileBuffers', executed whenever Tcl writes data to the OS, as Tcl has to wait for the disk to complete I/O, and disks are slow. We remove that obstacle. This opens another problem, [file size] reports back wrong numbers. So for [file size] we add the call back in. As optimization we keep track of the channels which were written to and flush only these. * win/tclWinFile.c (TclpObjStat): Added a call to 'TclWinFlushDirtyChannels'. This ensures that [file size] and related commands report the correct size of a file even if Tcl has recently written to it. Unixoid OS's always report the correct size even for files with pending data, but Win* syssystem don't. They only report what is actually on disk. * win/tclWinInt.h: Added declaration of 'TclWinFlushDirtyChannels', making it available to other parts of the tcl core. * win/tclWinChan.c (TclWinFlushDirtyChannels): New, internal, procedure. Goes through the list of open file channels and forces the OS to flush its file buffers for all which were written to since the last call of this function. This is an expensive operation as Tcl has to wait for the OS to complete actual writes to the disk. (FileInfo): Added dirty flag required by the procedure above. (FileOutputProc): Removed flushing of file buffers, setting the dirty flag instead. This means that the previously incurred delays do not happen anymore. (TclWinOpenFileChannel): Added initialization of 'dirty' flag. 2001-09-06 Jeff Hobbs * doc/http.n: noted -binary, charset and coding state keys. * tests/http.test: * library/http/pkgIndex.tcl: * library/http/http.tcl (geturl): correctly get charset parameter and convert text according to specified encoding (if known). RFC iso8859-1 is used by default. Also recognize Content-encoding to see if we should do binary translation. Added a CYA -binary switch for the cases that were missed. [Bugs 219211, 219399] * tests/ioUtil.test: changed to make better use of constraints and remove knownBug constraints that weren't valid. 2001-09-06 Don Porter * tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-3.2): Updated test to support newer HP-UX releases that properly report euc-jp as the system encoding for Japanese. Bug report and patch verification by Bob Techentin. [Bug 453883] * doc/http.n: * library/http/*.tcl: * tools/tcl.wse.in: * tools/tclmin.wse: * unix/Makefile.in: * win/{Mm}akefile.*: Updated http package to version 2.4, reflecting the new features just added. 2001-09-06 Vince Darley * generic/tclTest.c: tests of old-fs hooks no longer cause problems in threaded builds. Also removed unused unload proc. * generic/tcl.decls: * generic/tclIOUtilc: added Tcl_FSMountsChanged so that a vfs can inform the filesystem that the filesystem epoch must be changed (since cached filesystems may now be incorrect). Fixes problem running tclvfs extension. * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: if tests aren't in a native filesystem, then don't use pipes to run them. [Bug 458741] 2001-09-06 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tcl.decls (479 generic): * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Seek,Tcl_Tell,Tcl_OutputBuffered): Added public function to return the size of the output buffer and reworked other channel functions to use this shared functionality and that of Tcl_InputBuffered() too. [TIP#49, Rolf Schroedter] 2001-09-05 David Gravereaux * generic/tclPlatDecls.h: Another small trim finalizing Borland support. * win/tclWinPipe.c: * win/tclWinPort.h: More Borland compatibility fixes. Changed EDQUOT #define from 49 to 69. Borland had a clash as it was already using this number. Upon advice from Helmut Giese, EDQUOT has been found in other header files #defined as 69. [Patch 436116] * win/.cvsignore: A few more glob patterns added. * win/makefile.bc (new): Borland lives once more! rejoice.. * generic/tclAlloc.c: Small Borland compatibility fix. * win/tclWinTime.c: More Borland compatibility fixes. [Patch 436116] 2001-09-05 Vince Darley * tests/winFCmd.test: made notWin2000 constraint false if not running on Windows at all. 2001-09-04 David Gravereaux * win/tclWinThrd.c: Revisited _beginthreadex() stuff. Instead of assuming a c-runtime implimentation of _beginthreadex normal, I reversed the logic to not assume, and use when is by explicitly needing to add runtimes that support it such as Borland. * generic/tcl.h: * generic/tclPlatDecls.h: Borland compatibility change so ClientData was properly typed as a void* and TCHAR would not be defined twice. * generic/tcl.h: Removed a small mistake from before. Changes to the EXTERN macro for proper Borland compatibility will have to see a TIP. What's this with the MS compiler: __declspec(dllexport) int func (int a, int b); will have to be this with Borland: int __cdecl __export func (int a, int b); The order of the attribute needs to be after the return type. 2001-09-04 Don Porter * compat/strtod.c (strtod): Fixed failure to handle expressions like 3eq2 and failure to set errno on overflow. [Bug 440894] 2001-09-04 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclProc.c: * tests/proc.test: made [proc] check that formal args have simple names. [Bug 458548] 2001-09-04 Vince Darley Minor bug fixes in filesystem, plus small vfs changes as a result of enabling the test filesystem to work properly. * tests/fileName.test: ensure new test cleans up after itself * doc/filename.n: * generic/tclFileName.c: improved Mac path handling and document why [Bug 421842] on Windows handling of UNC paths is not valid. Documentation and code now much clearer on what is and is not a UNC path. * doc/FileSystem.3: * unix/tclUnixPipe.c: * generic/tclFCmd.c: * generic/tclIOUtil.c: fixed error message, fixed [Bug 453512] about dangerous use of tmpnam, replaced with mkstemp. Documented all the changes. * generic/tclTest.c: made test vfs fully functional as a 'reporting filesystem'. * generic/tcl.stubs: * generic/tcl.h: * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclIOUtil.c: * doc/file.n: * various platform-specific 'TclpLoadFile': fixed comments about unload behaviour, and completed objectification of loading. Required change to Tcl_Filesystem lookup table, so incompatible with 8.4a3, but not older versions of Tcl. The change also allows 'link' and 'reporting' filesystems to function correctly when loading files. Implementation of 'file delete -force' copes with case where cwd is inside the directory. Moved overlooked Tcl_FSGetPathType from internal to external API. Made sure filesystems which are registered and then unregistered are only freed when all references to them are gone. Documented changes. * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: when deleting directories recursively, make sure permissions are ok. Together with the above, this fixes [Bug 219139] * tests/winFCmd.test: differentiated test results for win2k versus not. This fixes [Bug: 219239] * tests/fCmd.test: added tests for 'file delete -force' where the cwd is inside, and when permissions are inadequate. 2001-09-04 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclCompile.c: fixed incorrect operands for INST_LIST [Bug 458241] (David Cuthbert, dacut@users.sourceforge.net) 2001-09-03 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): fixed missing comma in debug macro. 2001-09-03 Donal K. Fellows * doc/ExprLongObj.3: Fixed error in documentation of argument type to Tcl_ExprObj [Bug 457435] 2001-09-02 David Gravereaux * win/tclWinThrd.c: Portability fix for Cygwin who's c-runtime, not surprisingly, doesn't have the MSVCRT specific _beginthreadex / _endthreadex pair. This might have to be revisited for proper Borland, lcc32, Watcom and other support as well. [Patch 444255] * win/tclWinThrd.c: Moved FinalizeConditionEvent() proto to within the main #ifdef TCL_THREADS block to avoid mingw warning about it being there but unused. * win/makefile.vc: Added -Zl (zee el) to tclStubLib.c compile line to make sure the tclstub84.lib static library is built without requiring a specific C-runtime library at link-time for the end-use developer. It has been noted on c.l.t that this trips many first time users trying to make extensions. [Patch 403533] 2001-08-31 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclInt.h: added TclCompileListCmd header * generic/tclBasic.c: added TclCompileListCmd compile proc * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileListCmd): function to compile the 'list' command at parse time. * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): definition of INST_LIST bytecode. * doc/StringObj.3: added words of warning to use Tcl_ResetResult with the Tcl_Append* functions. * tests/compile.test: added compile-11.* interp result checks * generic/tclUtil.c (TclGetIntForIndex): added Tcl_ResetResult before Tcl_AppendStringsToObj to prevent shared object crash when called from bcc instruction. The Tcl_Append* calls that append to the result object that are invoked by bcc insts must remember to call Tcl_ResetResult because the bcc doesn't do this for us. [Bug 456892] 2001-08-30 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclIndexObj.c: fixed some casting problems that upset Crays. [Bug 419528] (andreasen) 2001-08-30 Don Porter * generic/tcl.h: Silence warning from Sun compiler. [Bug 454374] 2001-08-30 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclExecute.c: allow cached fully-qualified command names to be usable from different namespaces within the same interpreter without forcing a new lookup. This speeds up scripts that pass command names in variables ("this" in some OO packages). [Patch 456668] 2001-08-30 Vince Darley Further fs updates. After examining the most common Tcl extensions (TclX, BLT, Tk, TclPro, Mktclapp), it has been determined that only TclpGetCwd and the Access/Stat/Open insert/delete hooks of the internal fs functions are ever used. The remaining functions from Tcl's internal interfaces have therefore been removed, since Tcl now exports a more suitable public API (Tcl_FS...) * generic/tclInt.stubs: * generic/tclInt.h: updated for removed internal functions. Some new internal functions have been put in tclInt.h (and not exported in the stub table because good public equivalents exist). * generic/tclTest.c: some test functions used the internal private APIs. These tests have been retained, but modified to use public APIs. Also objectified the internal filesystem tests. * win/tclWinFile.c: removed TclpStat, TclpAccess and refactored code to use NativeAccess, NativeStat. This should speed up stat, access and glob commands. * win/tclWinFCmd.c: removed all TclpCopy/Rename/Delete File/Directory string-based procedures which aren't used any more. Improved efficiency of some other procedures. Ensure that filename conversions with a NULL interp do not crash Tcl. * mac/tclMacFCmd.c: wrapped long lines and cleaned up TclpObjNormalizePath, removed all TclpCopy/Rename/Delete File/Directory string-based procedures which aren't used any more. * mac/tclMacFile.c: removed obsolete TclpStat, TclpAccess, TclpChdir, etc. * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: removed use of TclpAccess, removed all TclpCopy/Rename/Delete File/Directory string-based procedures which aren't used any more. * unix/tclUnixFile.c: removed obsolete TclpStat, TclpAccess, TclpChdir, etc. * tcl(Unix|Mac|Win)Chan.c: objectified TclpOpenFileChannel. * various 'load' implementations all objectified. * generic/tclFileName.c: removed redundant code. * generic/tclIOUtil.c: removed TclStat, TclAccess, TclpListVolumes. Fix to MatchInDirectory at the root of a volume. Also improved some documentation, and improved default path joining behaviour for virtual filesystems, especially regarding '~'. * tests/fileName.test: added tests to check for bugs fixed above. * doc/FileName.3: improved documentation 2001-08-30 David Gravereaux * generic/tclAsync.c: * generic/tclEvent.c: * generic/tclInt.h: Improper cleanup of asyncMutex in tclAsync.c repaired. TclFinalizeSynchronization() was trying to remove a registered mutex that was dumped earlier when the TSD it was stored in was cleared. This was only surfacing on *nix. Windows was being masked by mutexes not actually being returned to the system! That was repaired in a previous patch. Needed to add a private TclFinalizeAsync() to tclAsync.c and called from Tcl_FinalizeThread(). Pheww.. Is this done yet? [Bug 414419] requested by Rob Ratcliff 2001-08-28 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclPushVarName): noted 'static' defn. [Bug 453872] 2001-08-26 Don Porter * library/auto.tcl (tcl_findLibrary): * tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.{1,9}): * unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): * win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): Corrected inconsistency between the search path for script libraries and the directory name $DISTNAME into which distributions built by 'make test' unpack. [Bug 455642] 2001-08-24 Jeff Hobbs * tests/stringComp.test: added string-1.3 * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileStringCmd): changed to return TCL_OUT_LINE_COMPILE instead of TCL_ERROR when compiling and an unknown string method is called. This is necessary as the string command may be never called, or not until 'string' is redefined. 2001-08-24 Vince Darley * doc/glob.n: documented windows-style path issue with glob. [Bug 219392] * doc/filename.n: documented windows path/file length limitation. [Bug 454597] 2001-08-24 Don Porter * tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.9): Corrected expected result to match Tcl's quirky construction of its init library path. 2001-08-23 Andreas Kupries * win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Fixed [Bug 432499]. Part of the code used the non-absolute path to the executable to determine quoting. This failed if the absolute path contained spaces, but the application name itself not. This bug caused no trouble on Win NT 5, but does for other variants in the Win* family. Report and fix due to Ken Poole . 2001-08-23 Jeff Hobbs * unix/configure: * unix/tcl.m4: added QNX-6 build support. [Bug 219410] (loverso) * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: * generic/tclIOUtil.c: * generic/tclFileName.c: corrected minor compiler warnings. 2001-08-23 Vince Darley Variety of small filesystem and vfs issues fixed or improved. The new fs code allows many new opportunities for efficiency improvements through the objectified API. The main changes integrated here are such efficiency improvements. Some limitations of the original implementation have also now been lifted. Meanwhile a variety of fs bugs (some old, some new) have also been fixed. * generic/tclFileName.c: Made Tcl_FSSplitPath more efficient, and removed some static string-based procedures which are no longer used. Much more objectification. Tcl_FSJoinPath is now very efficient and more aware of virtual filesystems. Clarified where the Mac-specific code attempts to interpret Unix-style paths. Modified TclDoGlob to use lstat not access to fix [Bug 434876] (L. Virden) * tcl(Win|Unix|Mac)FCmd.c: * tcl(Win|Unix|Mac)File.c: replaced TclpListVolumes with TclpObjListVolumes with different signature, updated code due to more efficient signature of Tcl_FSGetTranslatedPath. Used cached native paths where possible to improve efficiency -- this was completed on MacOS, but on Unix and Win the traversal functions make the task much more complex, so there are still some improvements possible there. Removed unused TclpNormalizePath which had been left in tclWinFCmd.c. Objectified all 'file attributes' functions. Fixed the new [Bug 451571, Bruce Stephens] which is most obvious on Unix, but could occur on MacOS or Windows. This bug actually existed in Tcl 8.3.x but was only made obvious by the recent filesystem overhaul when the code was exercised more heavily. * tests/fileName.test: Three new tests to exercise the above bug, and make sure it is fixed correctly. * unix/tclUnixFile.c: avoid panic in glob when a link doesn't point anywhere. It would probably be good to define exactly what Tcl should do in circumstances like these, and make sure mac/win/unix all behave accordingly. [Bug 417111] (Hemang Lavana). Also fixed misleading/obsolete comment in the code. * generic/tcl.stubs: changed signature of Tcl_FSGetTranslatedPath and added Tcl_FSGetTranslatedStringPath. These changes allow further optimisations in the FS code. * generic/tcl.h: changed signature of Tcl_FSListVolumes so that it doesn't require a Tcl interpreter plus result. Renamed Tcl_FSReadLink to Tcl_FSLink with additional argument so we can support making links in the future. [Patch: 450340] * generic/tclInt.h: added declaration for TclpObjListVolumes. Objectified internal call signatures for 'file attributes' functions, and added an internal objectified get path type function. * generic/tclIOUtil.c: added the moved function TclpListVolumes which calls platform specific code (needed for backwards compatibility), and improved efficiency of parts of the FS (particularly file normalization). Much less copying and memory allocation is required now. added new GetPathType so that changes in 'file volumes' can actually affect files' types, and objectified more code. Made current code work with test suite artificially changing current platform. Added 'static' keywords where required. * generic/tclIO.c: * generic/tclTest.c: Added 'static' keywords, fixing [Bug 453872] (Bob Techentin) * generic/tclCmdAH.c: file command implementation updated for API changes, removed unnecessary special-case SplitPath static function, since it no longer helps prevent code duplication. Moved setting of interpreter result to each individual location that actually required it, to avoid very large code separation between reading and setting the result. * doc/FileSystem.3: updated documentation for the new or changed APIs, and clarified some issues. * doc/SplitPath.3: added pointer to newer APIs in FileSystem.3 * doc/filename.n: clarified current implementation of tilde support on Mac/Win. [Bug 453514] (Sergey Kuzmin) * doc/glob.n: improved documentation for '-directory' and '-path' options. There are now many private, obsolete, platform-specific 'Tclp' string-based filesystem APIs which could be removed. We should check whether any of these are used by extensions and, at least in Tcl 9, remove them. The above changes signify a ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** with 8.4a3, since signatures of two functions in the new API have changed, but not with older versions of Tcl. 2001-08-23 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclBinary.c (FormatNumber): Extract a long from the object and not an int, to stop [binary format] from being unable to format some input numbers on architectures where sizeof(int) is less than sizeof(long) (particularly Alpha). [tiprender Bug 441861] * tests/format.test: Converted conditional execution of tests into a test constraint. 2001-08-22 Jeff Hobbs * win/Makefile.in: * win/makefile.vc: updated install target for dde1.2 * doc/dde.n: fixed dde man page (which was totally incorrect). * tests/winDde.test: * win/tclWinDde.c (Tcl_DdeObjCmd): added -binary option to dde request command to allow for returning binary data. [Bug 227482] Updated dde to 1.2 * tests/tcltest.test: added unixExecs constraint to files that used 'grep' in the test. [Bug 453143] * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: fixed stdio constraint test. [Patch 454050] (stanton) Simplified unixExecs constraint test. 2001-08-22 Don Porter * tests/ioUtil.test (ioUtil-3.*): Corrected errors in tests revealed by fix of overagressive compiler. [Bug 451200] 2001-08-21 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclCompCmds.c: * tests/compile.test: Fixed overagressive compilation of [catch]: it was catching errors at substitution time. [Bug 219184] 2001-08-21 Jeff Hobbs * tests/tcltest.test (tcltest-12.2): fixed test that would break when env vars weren't Tcl list friendly [Patch 454046] (stanton) 2001-08-20 Jeff Hobbs * library/http/http.tcl (geturl): added port number to Host: header to comply with HTTP/1.1 spec (RFC 2068). [Bug 452217] 2001-08-16 David Gravereaux * tools/tcl.wse.in: * tools/tcl.hpj.in: * win/tcl.hpj.in: Removed -kb storage in CVS to ensure these text files are checked-out in the translation mode CVS is in. Setting these as binary as part of an effort to make sure they are always in CRLF, no matter what the CVS translation, is bypassing how CVS works and is confusing. * tools/genStubs.tcl: Removed LF-only output. Having to reconvert back to CRLF before committing to CVS was giving me a headache. [Bug 451333] * win/makefile.vc: replaced $(WINDIR) with $(include32) for the .rc.res inference rule. winver.h wasn't getting included. [Bug 445630] 2001-08-14 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclBasic.c: make the intial maxNestingDepth of an interpreter be MAX_NESTING_DEPTH instead of a hardwired value.

This does not necessarily mean there will be an 8.4a4 release. [Bug 448938] 2001-08-06 Jeff Hobbs 8.4a3 RELEASE * changes: * README: * mac/README: * unix/README: * win/README.binary: updated for 8.4a3 release * generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_FSSplitPath): update to Tcl style guide. * generic/tclFCmd.c (FileCopyRename): fixed mem leak in introduction of vfs code where a new Tcl_Obj wasn't freed. * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegexpObjCmd, Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): reordered the retrieval of arguments to avoid shimmering bug when the pattern and string referenced the same object. * unix/configure: regenerated * unixE/tcl.m4: added GNU (HURD) configuration target. [Patch 442974] (brinkmann) * win/README: made note of URL for Windows compilation notes * win/tclWinThrd.c (TclpFinalizeMutex, TclpFinalizeCondition): added DeleteCriticalSection calls for cleanup [Patch 419683] * unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateTempFile): fixed use of tmpnam, which is dangerous. [Patch 442636] (lim) The use of tmpnam in TclpTempFileName must still be changed. * tests/http.test (http-4.14): fixed variable error return. [Bug 424252] 2001-08-03 Jeff Hobbs * win/configure: regenerated * win/tcl.m4: fixed DLLSUFFIX definition to always be ${DBGX}.dll. This is necessary for TEA compliant builds that build shared against a static-built Tcl. * win/Makefile.in ($(TCLSH)): added $(TCL_STUB_LIB_FILE) to build target, otherwise it wouldn't get generated in a static build. 2001-08-06 Andreas Kupries * generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_GetsObjCmd): Applied patch from [Bug 442665] to fix the bug reported by it. The function can corrupt a freed object if it is called with objc == 3. This is because it retrieves resultPtr and does not increment its reference count, but then calls Tcl_ObjSetVar2, which causes the retrieved resultPtr object to be released. 2001-08-06 Don Porter * doc/tclsh.1: Added note that the tclsh program is frequently installed with the Tcl version numer as part of the name. [Patch 402725] * generic/tclPkg.c: * tests/pkg.test: [package forget] now forgets all of the package arguments it receives, not stopping when a package is not found. [Bug 415273] 2001-08-02 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSMatchInDirectory): corrected uninitialized value. 2001-08-02 Mo DeJong * generic/tclPlatDecls.h: * win/tclWinPort.h: Revert related changes made to improve Cygwin support on 2001-07-18. This change ended up breaking the VC++ build because of conflicts between Windows APIs and internal Tk APIs. 2001-08-01 Jeff Hobbs * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: minor casts to eliminate warnings. (lim) [Patch 440218] * tests/parseOld.test: changed some tests that required testwordend to exist to skip in a proper tcltest manner. [Bug 442663] * library/http/http.tcl (http::mapReply): the regsub'ing of \n and \t to escape them was unnecessary. 2001-07-31 Vince Darley Changes from TIP#17 "Redo Tcl's filesystem" The following files were impacted: * doc/Access.3: * doc/FileSystem.3: * doc/OpenFileChnl.3: * doc/file.n: * doc/glob.n: * generic/tcl.decls: * generic/tcl.h: * generic/tclCmdAH.c: * generic/tclCmdIL.c: * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: * generic/tclDate.c: * generic/tclDecls.h: * generic/tclEncoding.c: * generic/tclFCmd.c: * generic/tclFileName.c: * generic/tclGetDate.y: * generic/tclIO.c: * generic/tclIOCmd.c: * generic/tclIOUtil.c: * generic/tclInt.decls: * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclIntDecls.h: * generic/tclLoad.c: * generic/tclStubInit.c: * generic/tclTest.c: * generic/tclUtil.c: * library/init.tcl: * mac/tclMacFCmd.c: * mac/tclMacFile.c: * mac/tclMacInit.c: * mac/tclMacPort.h: * mac/tclMacResource.c: * mac/tclMacTime.c: * tests/cmdAH.test: * tests/event.test: * tests/fCmd.test: * tests/fileName.test: * tests/io.test: * tests/ioCmd.test: * tests/proc-old.test: * tests/registry.test: * tests/unixFCmd.test: * tests/winDde.test: * tests/winFCmd.test: * unix/mkLinks: * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: * unix/tclUnixFile.c: * unix/tclUnixInit.c: * unix/tclUnixPipe.c: * win/tclWinFCmd.c: * win/tclWinFile.c: * win/tclWinInit.c: * win/tclWinPipe.c: 2001-07-24 Mo DeJong * win/tclWinThrd.c (Tcl_CreateThread): Close Windows HANDLE returned by _beginthreadex. The MS documentation states that this handle is not closed by a later call to _endthreadex. 2001-07-21 Don Porter * doc/pkgMkindex.n: * library/package.tcl: Corrected documentation and usage message of [pkg_mkIndex]. 2001-07-18 Mo DeJong * generic/tclPlatDecls.h: Define TCHAR by including windows.h instead of tchar.h since Cygwin does not support the tchar.h header. Include CHECK_UNICODE_CALLS logic from tclWinPort.h. * win/tclWinPort.h: Remove CHECK_UNICODE_CALLS logic. Remove include of windows.h since this now done it tclPlatDecls.h. * win/tclWinReg.c: Remove duplicate include of windows.h. 2001-07-18 Andreas Kupries * generic/tclIO.c: Aftermath to [Bug 427196]. Squash empty buffers if they are smaller than the requested buffersize, to prevent reusage of old buffers and to honor changes in the requested buffersize made by the user. 2001-07-17 Mo DeJong * win/tclWinFile.c (TclpReadlink): Add Cygwin specific definition for the TclpReadlink function. This method implements reading of symbolic links when build with Cygwin. 2001-07-17 Mo DeJong * win/tclWinPort.h: Add Cygwin specific defines for environ and timezone variables. 2001-07-17 Andreas Kupries * generic/tclIO.c (GetInput): Fixed [Bug 427196]. Memory was overwritten because a buffer was used after a change of the requested buffersize together with that requested buffersize and not its actual size, which was smaller. Note that the continous reuse of the smaller buffer negatively impacts performance. The system never allocates a buffer with the newly requested bigger buffersize. 2001-07-16 Mo DeJong * generic/tcl.h: Define __WIN32__ when __CYGWIN__ or __MINGW32__ is defined. * generic/tclAlloc.c: Define caddr_t when compiling with VC++ or mingw. This type is already defined when compiling with Cygwin. 2001-07-16 Mo DeJong * win/tclWinConsole.c: * win/tclWinPipe.c: * win/tclWinPort.h: * win/tclWinSerial.c: * win/tclWinThrd.c: Remove unnecessary #includes of dos.h, direct.h, and tchar.h. This will help the Cygwin porting effort since these headers do not exist under Cygwin. 2001-07-16 Jeff Hobbs * win/tclWinPipe.c (PipeClose2Proc): constrained the mutex lock to just the TerminateThread call and waiting for termination. (jsmith) * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Removed extra copy of the SCAN_* macros #defined in generic/tclScan.c. [Bug 441230] (porter) 2001-07-12 Donal K. Fellows * tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.8): Added extra constraint, notInstalledInTmp, to stop this test from damaging installations in /tmp; not much fun to have to reinstall the Tcl library every time you run the test suite! * tests/subst.test (subst-10.*): Updated tests to check new behaviour for 'break' in command substitutions. (subst-1.2,subst-7.1): Error messages changed. * doc/SubstObj.3: New file, to document Tcl_SubstObj. * doc/subst.n: Improved and updated documentation for 'subst' to help support the changed behaviour. * generic/tcl.decls (generic-437): Declaration for Tcl_SubstObj * generic/tcl.h (TCL_SUBST_*): Added flags for Tcl_SubstObj. * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SubstObj,Tcl_SubstObjCmd): Divided into two parts to allow people to access the innards of 'subst' and changed the behaviour when command substitutions do a 'break' to be different from 'continue'. Also now works with objects, which allows for some nifty optimisations with variable substitutions and a slight improvement with command substitutions. [TIP#36] 2001-07-10 Mo DeJong * unix/Makefile.in: Add AR variable for use in STLIB_LD. * unix/configure: Regen. * unix/configure.in: Use STLIB_LD when defining MAKE_LIB and MAKE_STUB_LIB. Subst RANLIB and AR. * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Add doc comment about STLIB_LD command. Check ${AR} env var when setting STLIB_LD and delay evaluation until make time. * win/configure: Regen. * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Delay evaluation of ${AR} in STLIB_LD and add flags to better match the Unix implementation. Don't bother defining AR when using VC++ since it is not used. 2001-07-06 Mo DeJong * win/configure: Regen. * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Pass -e _WinMain@16 in addition to the -mwindows flag to work around a problem with ld when it incorrectly use main() as the executable entry point when both WinMain() and main() are available. 2001-07-06 Donal K. Fellows * tests/cmdAH.test: Added leading zero to file modes to work around fault in HPUX strtol() which ignores the base parameter. [Bug 438808] 2001-07-05 Mo DeJong * win/Makefile.in: Subst DEPARG directly instead of relying on a variable. This will make Cygwin builds faster since an extra exec will be avoided. * win/configure: Regen. * win/configure.in: Subst DEPARG. * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Move AC_MSG_CHECKING after the AC_CHECK_PROG so that status messages do not get mixed together. Set DEPARG based on the results of the cygpath check so that we avoid using an extra exec when it is not needed. Use ac_cv_cygwin status flag instead of looking at the output of gcc -v, which works in the case where -mno-cygwin is set in the CFLAGS. 2001-07-04 Jeff Hobbs * README: * mac/README: * unix/README: * win/README: * win/README.binary: updated READMEs with purls 2001-07-03 Mo DeJong * win/Makefile.in: Remove PATHTYPE variable. * win/configure: Regen. * win/configure.in: Don't subst PATHTYPE. * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Remove PATHTYPE variable. Set CYGPATH to "cygpath -w" if the cygpath executable is found on the path. This approach works for native Cygwin builds and cross compiles. 2001-07-03 Jeff Hobbs * tests/var.test: * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_VariableObjCmd): added patch to check for number of args. [Patch 426038] * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_GetVar2Ex): added ability to recognize TCL_TRACE_READS flags to cause creation of part1 in TclLookupVar to make sure newly created array will get read traces triggered appropriately. This is called by Tcl_ObjGetVar2, Tcl_GetVar, and Tcl_GetVar2. (TclSetIndexedScalar, TclSetElementOfIndexedArray): added read trace triggering for lappend case. (Tcl_LappendObjCmd): pass TCL_TRACE_READS to Tcl_ObjGetVar2 to trigger possible read traces for new arrays. * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): added TCL_TRACE_READS flag to INST_LAPPEND(_ARRAY)_STK case to trigger read traces for newly created arrays. Removed unnecessary #ifdef for TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG in INST_LOAD_SCALAR1 case. * tests/append.test: * tests/appendComp.test: added tests for read trace triggering for append and lappend. 2001-07-03 Mo DeJong * tests/clock.test (clock-2.5): Adjust test so that it passes when the time slice is 60 msecs, now passes under Windows 98. 2001-07-03 Mo DeJong * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Don't pass the v flag to ${AR} when using gcc, verbose output is not needed. 2001-07-03 Don Porter * tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.8): Changed test back to using installation layout, adding comments explaining why the test writes to the directories it does, and checks to avoid destroying other files in /tmp. 2001-07-03 Donal K. Fellows * tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-1.2): Fixed faults reported in [Bug 438070] - well, at least enough to work on Solaris - and added comments that should make what is going on in the test clearer. 2001-07-02 Jeff Hobbs * tests/util.test: added util-4.6 * generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_ConcatObj): Corrected walking backwards over utf-8 chars. [Bug 227512] 2001-07-02 Don Porter * tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.8): Corrected test for all absolute pathnames in library path when executable is installed near root directory to use correct development directory layout. [Bug 438014] * tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.9): * unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): * win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): Corrected buggy construction of search path entries relative to executable. Added test for bad construction. [Bug 438014] 2001-06-28 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclNamesp.c: Correction to faulty patch from [Bug 231259] 2001-06-28 Donal K. Fellows * tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-1.2): Modified so as not to require a local echo service, which fails on many systems which have that turned off for security reasons... 2001-06-27 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclObj.c: * unix/Makefile.in: added a -DPURIFY mode that makes Tcl_Obj's allocated and free singularly (instead of in alloc in blocks and never free) to allow checkers like Purify to operate better. * library/encoding/koi8-u.enc: added koi8-u (Ukranian variant) encoding. * tests/subst.test: * generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UtfBackslash): Corrected backslash handling of multibyte utf-8 chars. [Bug 217987] * generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoProcsCmd): fixed potential mem leak in info procs that created objects without using them. * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileStringCmd): fixed mem leak when string command failed to parse the subcommand. * doc/interp.n: * doc/unknown.n: updated notes about what is in a safe interp. [Bug 218605] 2001-06-27 Donal K. Fellows * tests/event.test (event-11.5): Removed hard-coded port number which could fail on some systems. [Bug 436727] 2001-06-26 Mo DeJong * unix/Makefile.in: * win/Makefile.in: Add `make shell` target. This target will set the proper env vars before invoking tclsh from the build directory. 2001-06-26 Mo DeJong * win/Makefile.in: Use : to separate VPATH entries. This works for both Cygwin builds and cross builds, the VPSEP variable is simply unneeded complexity. * win/configure: Regen. * win/configure.in: Don't subst VPSEP. * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Remove VPSEP variable. 2001-06-26 Mo DeJong * unix/configure: Regen. * unix/configure.in: Fix last checkin by removing export since that only works in bash. * win/configure: Regen. * win/configure.in: Ditto. 2001-06-26 Mo DeJong * unix/configure: Regen. * unix/configure.in: Set CFLAGS to "" if the user did not set CFLAGS in the env. This keeps AC_PROG_CC from adding "-g -O2" to the CFLAGS by default. * win/configure: Regen. * win/configure.in: Ditto. 2001-06-25 Mo DeJong * win/configure: Regen. * win/configure.in: Use RC_DEFINE flag from tcl.m4. * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Set RC_DEFINE flag based on the compiler in use. 2001-06-25 Mo DeJong * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Link to the imm32 library when building with mingw gcc. 2001-06-25 Mo DeJong * win/configure: Regen. * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): When building with gcc, don't attempt to link with LD or support dllwrap. Simply require a recent version of Cygwin gcc or Mingw gcc that supports -shared. When linking, use gcc instead of ld since gcc automatically includes libs like -lmsvcrt. 2001-06-22 Mo DeJong * win/configure: Regen. * win/configure.in: Add resource compiler fix from 8.3.3 to fix compiling with mingw. 2001-06-22 Mo DeJong * win/configure: Regen. * win/tcl.m4: Fix silly typo in last checkin. 2001-06-22 Mo DeJong * unix/Makefile.in: Set CFLAGS to @CFLAGS@ and @CFLAGS_DEFAULT@. Set LDFLAGS to @LDFLAGS@ and @LDFLAGS_DEFAULT@. Add LDFLAGS_DEBUG and LDFLAGS_OPTIMIZE to match the way CFLAGS_DEFAULT works. This will support user set CFLAGS or LDFLAGS at configure time. * unix/configure: Regen. * unix/configure.in: Don't set CFLAGS to CFLAGS_DEFAULT, instead subst CFLAGS_DEFAULT into the Makefile. Add AC_SUBST for CFLAGS_DEFAULT, LDFLAGS_DEFAULT, LDFLAGS_DEBUG, and LDFLAGS_OPTIMIZE. * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_SYMBOLS): Modify LDFLAGS_DEFAULT so that it uses a Makefile variable just like CFLAGS_DEFAULT. * win/Makefile.in: Set CFLAGS to @CFLAGS@ and @CFLAGS_DEFAULT@. Set LDFLAGS to @LDFLAGS@ and @LDFLAGS_DEFAULT@. This will support user set CFLAGS or LDFLAGS at configure time. * win/configure: Regen. * win/configure.in: Don't set CFLAGS or LDFLAGS, instead subst CFLAGS_DEFAULT and LDFLAGS_DEFAULT into the Makefile. * win/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_SYMBOLS): Modify LDFLAGS_DEFAULT so that it uses a Makefile variable just like CFLAGS_DEFAULT. 2001-06-22 Mo DeJong * win/configure: * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Don't set LDFLAGS_DEBUG to -g or LDFLAGS_OPTIMIZE to -O when compiling with gcc. These flags are not needed and can cause problems with the Cygwin version of ld. 2001-06-18 Donal K. Fellows * tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-1.2,unixInit-2.8): Added test for code described below, and fixed a couple of errors that caused problems during testing; the code to determine the installedTcl constraint was wrong, and test unixInit-2.8 assumed that /tmp/lib was free for use and could be deleted, which clashed nastily with my installation and made other tests fail unnecessarily! * unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtyInit,TclpOpenFileChannel, (Tcl_MakeFileChannel,TclpGetDefaultStdChannel): Alterations so that the standard channels - stdin, stdout and stderr - have the correct type and fconfigure options. This required making the initialisation of serial lines a little more sophisticated to make the console behave correctly in interactive mode...

[Bug 419812] * tests/cmdMZ.test (cmdMZ-1.4): added notLinux constraint to test to prevent failure message on Linux due to OS caching bug. * tests/httpd (httpdRespond): added response to timeout value in query string. * tests/http.test: removed unused notLinux constraint setting * generic/tclRegexp.c (Tcl_RegExpExecObj): added use of Tcl_GetUnicodeFromObj. 2001-05-19 Andreas Kupries * Note that "tclbench" (see project "tcllib") was extended with performance benchmarks for [fcopy] too. * doc/fcopy.n: Updated to reflect the extended behaviour of 'fcopy'. * tests/io.test: Added tests 'io-52.9', 'io-52.10' and 'io-52.11' to test the handling of encodings by 'fcopy' / 'TclCopychannel'. [Bug 209210] * generic/tclIO.c: Split of both 'Tcl_ReadChars' and 'Tcl_WriteChars' into a public error checking and an internal working part. The public functions now use the new internal ones. The new functions are 'DoReadChars' and 'DoWriteChars'. Extended 'CopyData' to use the new functions 'DoXChars' when required by the encodings on the input and output channels. [Bug 209210] 2001-05-16 Jeff Hobbs * library/history.tcl (tcl::HistAdd): prevent empty calls from being added to the history (arndt) * tests/error.test: updated error-1.3 message to account for string index being compiled at toplevel. * tests/appendComp.test: * tests/stringComp.test: new files for extended bytecode testing * generic/tclBasic.c: added new CompileProc invocations to basic command initialization. * generic/tclCompCmds.c: added new compile commands for append, lappend, lindex and llength. Refactored set and incr compile commands to use new TclPushVarName function for handling the varname component during compilation (also used by append and lappend). Changed string compile command to compile toplevel code as well (when possible). * generic/tclCompile.c: added new instruction enums * generic/tclCompile.h: added debug info for new instructions * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): moved elemPtr to toplevel var (oft-used). Added definitions for new bytecode instructions INST_LIST_INDEX, INST_LIST_LENGTH, INST_APPEND_SCALAR1, INST_APPEND_SCALAR4, INST_APPEND_ARRAY1, INST_APPEND_ARRAY4, INST_APPEND_ARRAY_STK, INST_APPEND_STK, INST_LAPPEND_SCALAR1, INST_LAPPEND_SCALAR4, INST_LAPPEND_ARRAY1, INST_LAPPEND_ARRAY4, INST_LAPPEND_ARRAY_STK, INST_LAPPEND_STK. Refactored repititious code for reuse with INST_LOAD_STK (same as INST_LOAD_SCALAR_STK), INST_STORE_STK (same as INST_STORE_SCALAR_STK). Updated INST_STR_CMP with style of fix of 2001-04-06 Fellows [Bug 219201] as that fix only affected the runtime eval'ed "string" (string compare is normally byte-compiled now). We may want to back these out for speed in the future, noting the problems with \x00 comparisons in the docs. * generic/tclInt.h: declarations for new compile commands. * generic/tclVar.c: change TclGetIndexedScalar, TclGetElementOfIndexedArray, TclSetElementOfIndexedArray and TclSetIndexedScalar to use flags.

Fellows * doc/console.n: Created. It seems very odd to me that the console implementation is part of the Tcl distribution and not part of Tk, but given the location of the source, the documentation must obviously match up... 2001-05-14 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): * tests/string.test (string-4.14): Negative string indices should not be added as offsets to the result of [string first] but instead be treated as referring to the start of the string. [Bug 423581] 2001-05-11 Mo DeJong * unix/Makefile.in: Add a LDFLAGS variable to the Makefile instead of directly substing @LDFLAGS@. * unix/configure: Regen. * unix/tcl.m4: Fix CFLAGS_DEFAULT so that the name of a Makefile variable is passed as @CFLAGS@. * win/Makefile.in: Move the setting of CFLAGS higher up in the Makefile. * win/configure: Regen. * win/configure.in: Use dnl to comment out macros so that they are not accidently expanded. * win/tcl.m4: Fix CFLAGS_DEFAULT so that the name of a Makefile variable is passed as @CFLAGS@. 2001-05-07 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclExecute.c: insure different rand() seeds in different threads.

[Bug 420186] ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for any callers of [auto_import] from outside Tcl that expect the pattern matching to be like that of [string match]. 2001-05-03 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclParse.c: * tests/namespace.test: Insure consistent behaviour of the [unknown] command: when a command is unknown, it is always processed by [::unknown], ignoring any namespace proc which happens to be called "unknown" [Patch 421166, Bug 420507] 2001-05-02 Don Porter * tools/genStubs.tcl: Add a package require of Tcl 8 at the beginning of the script so that the script will print a descriptive error message when run in an old Tcl 7 shell. 2001-04-27 Kevin Kenny * generic/tclInt.decls: * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclCmdIL.c: * generic/tclProc.c: * generic/tclVar.c: Added another collection of missing CONSTs related to TclGetNamespaceForQualName. * generic/tclIntDecls.h: Regenerated. 2001-04-25 Mo DeJong * unix/configure: Regen. * unix/tcl.m4: Subst TCL_THREADS into tclConfig.sh. * unix/tclConfig.sh.in: Add TCL_THREADS variable. * win/configure: Regen. * win/tcl.m4: Subst TCL_THREADS into tclConfig.sh. * win/tclConfig.sh.in: Add TCL_THREADS variable. 2001-04-25 Mo DeJong * unix/configure: Regen. * unix/configure.in: Use $@ in MAKE_LIB and MAKE_STUB_LIB commands instead of using a delayed subst variable. Replace instances of STUB_LIB_FILE with TCL_STUB_LIB_FILE. 2001-04-25 Mo DeJong * unix/Makefile.in: Use TCL_STUB_LIB_FILE instead of STUB_LIB_FILE. * unix/configure: Regen. * unix/configure.in: Don't subst STUB_LIB_FILE, use TCL_STUB_LIB_FILE instead. 2001-04-25 Donal K. Fellows * tools/encoding/iso8859-15.txt: * library/encoding/iso8859-15.enc: Oops! Got the full encoding wrong.

[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. 2001-04-10 Kevin B. Kenny * unix/tclUnixTime.c: Altered code to use memcpy instead of structure assigments in an effort to achieve better K&R compatibility. 2001-04-10 Kevin B. Kenny * unix/tclUnixTime.c: Fixed silly typo in calls to 'gmtime' and 'localtime' that broke the Linux build. 2001-04-09 Kevin B. Kenny * unix/tclLoadShl.c: Added DYNAMIC_PATH to the load flags so that the SHLIB_PATH will be searched for other libraries. [Bug 219140] 2001-04-09 Kevin B. Kenny * unix/tcl.m4: Added _REENTRANT to Solaris build so that thread safe library routines are included. * unix/configure: Re-ran 'autoconf' with changed tcl.m4 * tclUnixTime.c: Modified for thread safety of 'gmtime' and 'localtime' system calls. [Bugs 219136 and 232558] 2001-04-09 Donal K. Fellows * tests/expr.test (expr-21.*): Tests to check below fix. * generic/tclParseExpr.c (GetLexeme): Now recognises the non-numeric boolean literals for what they are. It no longer makes sense for anyone to create functions with the same name as one of them, but this was true in 7.* as well [Bug 217777; finally!] 2001-04-07 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclExecute.c: Avoid panic when there are extra items in the tcl stack. [Bug 406709, Patch 414470] * tests/foreach.test: test to exercise the patch 2001-04-07 Miguel Sofer * doc/namespace.n: document correct functionality * generic/tclNamesp.c: corrected behaviour of [namespace code] [Bug 219385, Patch 403530] * library/init.tcl: * tests/namespace-old.test: test correct functionality * tests/namespace.test: test correct functionality 2001-04-07 Andreas Kupries * unix/Makefile.in (checkdoc): New target, checking the definitions as found in the compiled library against the manpages to find undocumented public functionality. * unix/mkLinks: Updated to include the new manpage. * doc/UniCharIsAlpha.3: New manpage documenting the Unicode character classification APIs.

Added optimizations for case where objects have a string/unicode-rep or a bytearray-rep (i.e. where we can perform comparisons on fixed-size units). [Bug 219201] * generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UtfNcmp): Corrected seriously erroneous comment. 2001-04-05 Andreas Kupries * doc/Macintosh.3: Removed duplicates from .SH line. [Bug 413983] 2001-04-05 Donal K.

(install-doc): improved install-* targets to use their base build dependency. 2001-03-30 Andreas Kupries * 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. 2001-03-29 Mo DeJong * tests/interp.test: Print out warning when testinterpdelete command is not defined. Add tests that checks to make sure a child interp inherits the parent's cwd. 2001-03-29 Jeff Hobbs * doc/tcltest.n: corrected incorrect macro usage. * doc/lsort.n: corrected unbalanced nroff macros. * unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateTempFile): prevent potential race condition and security leak in tmp filename creation.

Fellows * win/tclWinInt.h (tclWinTCharEncoding): Removed as now a static variable in win/tclWin32Dll.c instead. 2001-03-23 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd): Corrected retrieval of resultPtr to prevent possible corruption. * generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_Import): Correctly freed a DString. [Patch 403755] (lavana) 2001-03-15 Donal K.

Fellows * tests/string.test: Fixed some test numberings and added a test. [Patch 403229] 2001-03-06 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_UnsetObjCmd): Rewrote argument parser to avoid a read off the end of the argument array that could occur when executing something like [unset -nocomplain] was executed. Improved the error message given when too few arguments are given (-nocomplain should obviously be *before* --, not after it) and also modified the test suite to take account of that and the documentation to use the same improvement. [Bug 405769] 2001-03-02 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Fixed bug that could pass pointers to freed memory to command implementations, which most obviously caused some weird behaviour with [info level], but could have caused problems with user code and command traces too. [Bug 404865, Patch 405436] 2001-02-23 msofer * no changes; fixing up the missing comment in the previous one.

Kenny * doc/clock.n: Updated documentation to reflect the addition of compat/strftime.c, including the correct formatting of ISO-8601:1988 fiscal week number (%V). 2001-02-15 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SplitObjCmd): Improved efficiency of splitting strings into individual characters by adding hash so that only one Tcl_Obj per character is created. Improves performance of splitting of short strings and makes a huge difference to splitting of long strings, such as is done in the mime package in tcllib. [Bug 131523] 2001-01-31 Don Porter * win/makefile.vc (install-libraries): Corrected misdirected install directory for the msgcat 1.2 package. 2001-01-30 Don Porter * generic/tclIO.c (CopyData): Moved code that updates the count of how many bytes are left to copy. Corrects bug that when writing occurs in the background, the copy loop could be escaped without updating the count, causing CopyData() to try to copy more bytes than the toRead value originally passed to TclCopyChannel(), leading to hangs and misreporting of number of bytes copied. [Bug 118203, Patch 103432] 2001-01-18 Andreas Kupries 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): Define the macro 'Tcl_InitHashTable' only when TCL_PRESERVE_BINARY_COMPATIBILITY is not set 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'. 2001-01-10 Donal K. Fellows * tests/winPipe.test (winpipe-1.20): * tests/winDde.test (createChildProcess): * tests/pkgMkIndex.test (pkgtest::createIndex): Removed assumption that paths contain no spaces which causes problems with both [eval] and [open |...] due to the well-known differences between lists and strings. Fixes [Bug 119406] 2001-01-04 Don Porter * tests/unixInit.test: * unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): * win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): Several entries in the library path ($tcl_libPath) are determined relative to the absolute path of the executable. When the executable is installed in or near the root directory of the file system, relative pathnames were being incorrectly generated, and in the worst case, memory access violations were crashing the program.
