[Bug 1077262] 2005-04-08 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSwitchCmd): Rewritten to be able to handle the other form of [switch] and generate slightly simpler (but longer) code. 2005-04-06 Donal K.

Change below made this relevant. * doc/re_syntax.n: Change some uses of .TP to .IP to work around bugs in various *roff implementations. Also reworded the atom descriptions slightly. 2005-04-05 Don Porter * generic/tclExecute.c (ExprSrandFunc): Replaced incursions into the * generic/tclUtil.c (TclGetIntForIndex): intreps of numeric types with simpler calls of Tcl_GetIntFromObj and Tcl_GetLongFromObj, now that those routines are better behaved wrt shimmering.

The latter permits insuring that the pointers returned by Tcl_ListObjGetElements remain valid even if the object shimmers away from its original list type. This is [Patch 1158008] * generic/tclExecute.c: * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclObj.c: * generic/tclStringObj.c: (1) defined new internal macros for creating and setting frequently used obj types (int,long, wideInt, double, string). Changed TEBC to use eg 'TclNewIntObj(objPtr, i)' to avoid the function call in 'objPtr = Tcl_NewIntObj(i)' (2) ExecEnv now stores two Tcl_Obj* pointing to the constants "0" and "1", for use by TEBC.

Should have been done as part of the 1115904 bug fix on 2005-03-18. * generic/tclThreadTest.c: Stop providing the phony package "Thread 1.0" when the [::testthread] command is defined. It's never used by anything, and conflicts with loading the real "Thread" package. 2005-03-18 Don Porter * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileIncrCmd): Corrected checks for immediate operand usage to permit leading space and sign characters.

Thanks to Yuri Victorovich for the report. [Bug 1153871] * generic/tcl.h: Moved flag values TCL_TRACE_ENTER_EXEC and * generic/tclInt.h: TCL_TRACE_LEAVE_EXEC from public interface into private. Should be used only by internal workings of execution traces. 2005-03-08 Jeff Hobbs * win/makefile.vc: clarify necessary defined vars that can come from MSVC or the Platform SDK. 2005-03-07 Donal K. Fellows * doc/string.n: Minor typo. [Bug 1158247] 2005-03-07 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclExecute.c: new peephole optimisation for INST_PUSH1; fixed the peephole opt in INST_POP so that it is not used when TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG is defined. 2005-03-01 David N.

If the body of the proc is not of the compiled byte code type then the code will crash. This was discovered while tracking down a crash in Itcl, that crash is fixed by Itcl patch 1115085. 2005-02-01 Don Porter * generic/tclExecute.c (TclCompEvalObj): Removed stray statement left behind in prior code reorganization. 2005-01-31 Don Porter * unix/configure: autoconf-2.57 2005-01-30 Joe English * unix/configure.in: Restored two double-evals that were removed in the DBGX purge; these are still needed on some platforms to account for TCL_TRIM_DOTS.

Fellows * generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_LimitSetTime, TimeLimitCallback): (TclLimitRemoveAllHandlers, TclInitLimitSupport): Set a timer event to trigger when the time limit runs out. All the time limit actually does is check to see if the time limit has been exceeded, but this is enough to fix [Bug 1085023]. * generic/tclInt.h (struct Interp): Added a field to hold the token for the timer event handler associated with the current time limit. * generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_UpdateObjCmd, Tcl_VwaitObjCmd): Add error message when limit exceeded. * tests/interp.test (interp-34.[89]): Check that time limits handle the two cases reported in [Bug 1085023] * generic/tclTimer.c (TclCreateAbsoluteTimerHandler): New internal function that allows setting a timer handler that will be triggered at (or after) a specific time instead of at some number of milliseconds in the future.

Added functions TclPushStackFrame and TclPopStackFrame that do the work of Tcl_PushCallFrame and Tcl_PopCallFrame, but using frames allocated in the execution stack - i.e., heap instead of C-stack. The core uses these two new functions exclusively; the old ones remain for backwards compat, as at least two popular extensions (itcl, xotcl) are known to use them. 2004-12-14 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclCmdIL.c: * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclProc.c: * generic/tclVar.c: changing the isProcCallFrame field of the CallFrame struct from a 0/1 field to flags.

Added internal routines Tcl(Get|Set)ObjNameOfExecutable() to access that storage in Tcl_Obj, rather than string format. * unix/tclUnixFile.c: Rewrote TclpFindExecutable() to use * win/tclWinFile.c: TclSetObjNameOfExecutable to store the executable name it computes. * generic/tclInt.h: Added internal stub entries for * generic/tclInt.decls: TclpFindExecutable and Tcl(Get|Set)ObjNameOfExecutable. * generic/tclIntDecls.h: make genstubs * generic/tclStubInit.c: * generic/tclCmdIL.c: Retrieve executable name in Tcl_Obj form * win/tclWinPipe.c: instead of string form. * unix/tclUnixTest.c: Update [testfindexecutable] command to use new internal interfaces. * generic/tclEncoding.c: Moved TclpSetInitialEncodings() call from Tcl_FindExecutable() into TclInitEncodingSubsystem(). This is important on Windows where it establishes whether the "ascii" or "unicode" set of system routines will be used, and that needs to be done earlier to support filesystem operations. [Bug 1077005] 2004-12-01 Donal K. Fellows * tests/winDde.test: Rewritten to use tcltest2 features more thoroughly (reducing the [catch] count!) and fix the problem with winDde-6.1 being out of synch with the implementation. 2004-11-30 Don Porter * library/init.tcl ([unknown]): Restored the save/restore of the variables ::errorCode and ::errorInfo. This is needed when the [::bgerror] command is auto-loaded (as it is by Tk). Patch 976520 reworks several of the details involved with startup/initialization of the Tcl library, focused on the activities of Tcl_FindExecutable(). * generic/tclIO.c: Removed bogus claim in comment that encoding "iso8859-1" is "built-in" to Tcl. * generic/tclInt.h: Created a new struct ProcessGlobalValue, * generic/tclUtil.c: routines Tcl(Get|Set)ProcessGlobalValue, and function type TclInitProcessGlobalValueProc. Together, these take care of the housekeeping for "values" (things that can be held in a Tcl_Obj) that are global across a whole process. That is, they are shared among multiple threads, and epoch and mutex protection must govern the validity of cached copies maintained in each thread. * generic/tclNotify.c: Modified TclInitNotifier() to tolerate being called multiple times in the same thread. * generic/tclEvent.c: Dropped the unused argv0 argument to TclInitSubsystems(). Removed machinery to unsure only one TclInitNotifier() call per thread, now that that is safe. Converted Tcl(Get|Set)LibraryPath to use a ProcessGlobalValue, and moved them to tclEncoding.c. * generic/tclBasic.c: Updated caller. * generic/tclInt.h: TclpFindExecutable now returns void. * unix/tclUnixFile.c: * win/tclWinFile.c: * win/tclWinPipe.c: * generic/tclEncoding.c: Built new encoding search initialization on a foundation of ProcessGlobalValues, exposing new routines Tcl(Get|Set)EncodingSearchPath. A cache of a map from encoding name to directory pathname keeps track of where encodings are available for loading. Tcl_FindExecutable greatly simplified into just three function calls. The "library path" is now misnamed, as its only remaining purpose is as a foundation for the default encoding search path. * generic/tclInterp.c: Inlined the initScript that is evaluated by Tcl_Init(). Added verification after initScript evaluation that Tcl can find its installed *.enc files, and that it has initialized [encoding system] in agreement with what the environment expects. [tclInit] no longer driven by the value of $::tcl_libPath; it largely constructs its own search path now, rather than attempt to share one with the encoding system. * unix/tclUnixInit.c: TclpSetInitialEncodings factored so that a new * win/tclWinInit.c: routine TclpGetEncodingNameFromEnvironment can reveal that Tcl thinks the [encoding system] should be, even when an incomplete encoding search path, or a missing *.enc file won't allow that initialization to succeed. TclpInitLibraryPath reworked as an initializer of a ProcessGlobalValue. * unix/tclUnixTest.c: Update implementations of [testfindexecutable], [testgetdefenc], and [testsetdefenc]. * tests/unixInit.test: Corrected tests to operate properly even when a value of TCL_LIBRARY is required to find encodings. * generic/tclInt.decls: New internal stubs: TclGetEncodingSearchPath, TclSetEncodingSearchPath, TclpGetEncodingNameFromEnvironment. These are candidates for public exposure by future TIPs. * generic/tclIntDecls.h: make genstubs * generic/tclStubInit.c: * generic/tclTest.c: Updated [testencoding] to use * tests/encoding.test: Tcl(Get|Set)EncodingSearchPath. Updated tests. 2004-11-30 Kevin B. Kenny * library/clock.tcl: Corrected the regular expressions that match a time zone to allow for time zones specified as +HH or -HH. * tests/clock.test: Added regression test case for the above issue. Thanks to Rolf Ade for reporting this issue [http://wiki.tcl.tk/13094] * win/tclWinDde.c (Tcl_DdeObjCmd): Corrected a typo that caused a compilation failure on VC++. 2004-11-29 Andreas Kupries * win/Makefile.in (install-libraries): Brought entry '2004-10-26 Don Porter (Tcl Modules)' into the windows world, actually the win/configure buildsystem. The other windows buildsystems (.vc, .bc) still have to be updated as well. 2004-11-26 Andreas Kupries * win/tclWinDde.c (ExecuteRemoteObject): Removed bogus semicolon found at the end of the header for the function definition, terminating it early and preventing a compile. This is likely a fix for '2004-11-25 Donal'. I have to conclude that it is also unknown if the other changes to this file actually pass the testsuite. Running testsuite ... They don't. winDde-6.1 fails. This is only a message discrepance, i.e. not too bad. Leaving resolution of that to Pat and Donal. 2004-11-26 Don Porter * library/auto.tcl (tcl_findLibrary): Made sure the uniquifying operations on the search path does not also normalize. [Bug 1072136] 2004-11-26 Donal K. Fellows * unix/configure.in: Simplify the code to check for correctness of strstr, strtoul and strtod. * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_TCL_CHECK_BROKEN_FUNC): Split a complex stanza out of configure.in into its own function. Also force it to do the right thing with cacheing of results of AC_TRY_RUN to deal with issue raised in [Patch 1073524] * doc/foreach.n: Added simple example. [FRQ 1073334] 2004-11-25 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclProc.c (TclObjInterpProc): Make it so that only * generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_WrongNumArgs): [proc] instances do * tests/indexObj.test (indexObj-5.7): quoting of their first arguments, so keeping [Bug 942757] fixed and making [Bug 1066837] be fixed as well. Done with a load of #ifdef-ery because this hack is so ugly nobody should keep it around once Itcl's fixed. 2004-11-25 Reinhard Max * tests/tcltest.test: The order in which [glob] returns the file names is undefined, so tests should not depend on it. 2004-11-25 Zoran Vasiljevic * doc/Thread.3: * doc/Notifier.3: Added changes from the core-8-4-branch 2004-11-25 Donal K. Fellows * doc/dde.n: Synchronized the documentation of the commands with the header of the docs and what the package actually does. Thanks to Andreas Kupries for spotting this. * win/tclWinDde.c (Tcl_DdeObjCmd): Much cleanup of argument parsing code. 2004-11-24 David Gravereaux * generic/tclPort.h: Relative include of tclWinPort.h returned as it was requiring me set -I$(tcl_root)/win for my extensions that need to include tclInt.h and doesn't appear to serve any purpose for windows builds. 2004-11-24 Kevin B. Kenny * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_THREADS): Corrected bad check for 3-argument readdir_r [Bug 1001325]. * unix/configure: Regenerated. * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: Corrected all uses of 'select' to manage their masks using the FD_CLR, FD_ISSET, FD_SET, and FD_ZERO macros rather than bit-whacking that failed under Solaris-Sparc-64. [Bug 1071807] * win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): Removed unused vars 'pathc' and 'pathv' that caused compilation problems on VC++ with --enable-symbols. 2004-11-24 Don Porter * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_THREADS): Corrected failure to determine the number of arguments for readdir_r on SunOS systems. [Bug 1071701] * unix/configure: autoconf-2.57 * generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoVarsCmd): Corrected segfault in new * tests/info.test (info-19.6): trivial matching branch [Bug 1072654] 2004-11-24 Donal K. Fellows * tools/man2html.tcl, tools/man2html1.tcl: Update to use Tcl 8.4. * tools/man2html2.tcl: Fix broken .SS handling. 2004-11-23 Donal K. Fellows * unix/Makefile.in: Add (commented-out) code to integrate tclConfig.h into the dependency tree and 'make distclean'. [Bug 1068171] * generic/tclResult.c (Tcl_AppendResultVA): Remove call to Tcl_GetStringResult to speed up repeated calls to Tcl_AppendResult with the side effect that code that wants to access interp->result should always call Tcl_GetStringResult first. See [Patch 1041072] discussion for more details. 2004-11-22 Mo DeJong * unix/configure: Regen. * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_TCL_64BIT_FLAGS): Define HAVE_TYPE_OFF64_T only when off64_t, open64(), and lseek64() are defined. IRIX 5.3 is known to not include an open64 function. [Bug 1030465] 2004-11-22 Mo DeJong * unix/configure: Regen. * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_THREADS): Check for a 2 argument version of readdir_r that is known to exists under IRIX 5.3. * unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpReaddir): Use either 2 arg or 3 arg version of readdir_r. [Bug 1001325] 2004-11-22 Don Porter * unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): Purged dead code that * win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): used to extend the "library path". Search path construction for init.tcl is now done within the [tclInit] proc. * generic/tclInterp.c: Restored several directories to the search * tests/unixInit.test: path used to locate init.tcl within [tclInit]. This change does not restore any directories to the encoding search path, so should still avoid the price of an unreasonably large number of filesystem accesses during encoding initialization at startup [Bug 976438] 2004-11-22 Vince Darley * generic/tclPathObj.c: fix and new test for [Bug 1043129] in * tests/fileSystem.test: the treatment of backslashes in file join on Windows. 2004-11-21 Don Porter * doc/AddErrInfo.3: Typo corrections (Thanks Daniel South). * doc/interp.n: 2004-11-19 Don Porter * doc/AddErrInfo.3: Docs for Tcl_(Get|Set)ReturnOptions.

For now, disabled the use of the tclConfig.h file until its full impact on Tcl's interface can be assessed. * unix/configure: autoconf-2.57 * generic/tcl.h: Moved the #include "tclConfig.h" out of * generic/tclInt.h: tcl.h. The config settings are not part of * generic/tclPort.: the public interface, and having it there breaks compiled against uninstalled Tcl and extensions using autoconf-2.5*. 2004-11-16 Jeff Hobbs * unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtySetOptionProc): fixed crash configuring -ttycontrol on a channel. [Bug 1067708] 2004-11-16 Don Porter * generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclFSEpochOk): There were two code paths via which the thread copy of filesystemEpoch could be synched with the master copy, but only one kept the filesystem list cache up to date. Fix routes everything through a single code path. [Bug 1035775]. 2004-11-16 Donal K. Fellows * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Stop architecture flags to 'ld' from getting lost when [load] is disabled. [Bug 1016796] 2004-11-16 Daniel Steffen * generic/tcl.h: * unix/configure.in: changed HAVE_CONFIG_H to HAVE_TCL_CONFIG_H. * unix/configure: autoconf-2.57 2004-11-15 Don Porter * generic/tclInt.h: Added comment warning that the old ERR_IN_PROGRESS and ERROR_CODE_SET flag values should not be re-used for the sake of those extensions that have accessed them. * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TraceObjCmd): Fixed Bug 1065378 which failed * tests/trace.test (trace-33.1): to permit a variable trace created with [trace variable] to be destroyed with [trace remove].

Added test for failing recursive delete on Mac OS X that was due to this. [Bug 1034337] * generic/tclListObj.c (Tcl_ListObjReplace): use memmove() instead of manual copy loop to shift list elements. Decreases time spent in Tcl_ListObjReplace() from 5.2% to 1.7% of overall runtime of tclbench on a ppc 7455 (i.e. 200% speed increase). [Patch 1064243] * generic/tclHash.c: hoisted some constant pointer dereferences out of loops to eliminate redundant loads that the gcc optimizer didn't deal with.

Exterminated the code marked DEPRECATED. This code has not been used in over a year now, and we have no complaints. 2004-11-08 David Gravereaux * win/tclWinPipe.c: The pipe channel driver now respects the -blocking option when closing is the same way the UNIX side works. This is to avoid a hung shell when exiting due to open pipes that refuse to close in a graceful manner. * doc/open.n: Added a note about -blocking 0 and lack of exit status as it had never been documented. [Bug 947693] ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** Scripts that use async pipes on windows, must (like the UNIX side) set -blocking to 1 before calling [close] to receive the exit status. 2004-11-07 David Gravereaux * tests/winFile.test: added contraint to winFile-4.0 to prevent it being run on NT4 [Bug 981829] 2004-11-05 Donal K. Fellows * tests/reg.test: Major reorganization so that this file is much easier for a normal Tcl maintainer to comprehend. The test flags are still very cryptic, but they appear to have to be that way. The number of skipped tests has increased, but now the skipped tests have much more meaningful content. * tests/tm.test (genpaths): Add a [file normalize] so we pick up Windows drive letters, etc. [Bug 1053568] 2004-11-04 Don Porter * changes: Updates toward an 8.5a2 release. 2004-11-03 Kevin B.

About the only time it would be problem is when someone is statically linking to Tcl and accessing internals from a C++ file and has name mangling issues from the lack of "C" after 'extern' [Patch 1055668]. * generic/tclCompile.h: Exchanged use of the EXTERN macro to the new MODULE_SCOPE macro. Lowered exported internals count by 35.

Ensembles can now (sometimes) rewrite the error messages of their subcommands so they appear more like the arguments that the user passed to the ensemble. Below is a description of changes involved in doing this. * tests/namespace.test (namespace-50.*): Tests of ensemble subcommand error message rewriting. * generic/tclProc.c (TclObjInterpProc): Make procedures implement their wrong-num-args message using Tcl_WrongNumArgs instead of something baked-at-home. * generic/tclNamesp.c (TclIsEnsemble, NsEnsembleImplementationCmd): Added test of ensemble-hood (available to rest of core) and made ensembles set up the rewriting for Tcl_WrongNumArgs to take advantage of. * generic/tclInt.h (Interp.ensembleRewrite): Extra fields. * generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_WrongNumArgs): Add knowledge of what is going on in ensembles' command rewriting so this command can generate the right error message itself. * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp, TclEvalObjvInternal): Added code to initialize (as empty) the rewriting fields and reset them when we leak outside an ensemble implementation. 2004-10-28 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclExecute.c (INST_START_CMD): * tests/execute.test (execute-8.3): fix for execution stack corruption [Bug 1055676]. Credit dgp for detective work and fix. 2004-10-27 Don Porter * tests/socket.test (socket-13.1): Balanced [makeFile] and [removeFile] commands. * tests/clock.test: Correct duplicate test names. * tests/namespace.test: * tests/string.test: * tests/io.test (io-50.4): Use namespace variables. 2004-10-27 David Gravereaux * generic/tclInt.decls: The following 9 functions were moved from * generic/tclInt.h: tclInt.h to the private/int Stubs table for * generic/tclIntDecls.h: use by the test suite. As tclTest.obj is * generic/tclStubInit.c: linked to the shell, these functions need "blessed" status so as to always be exported from the library. Being placed in the Stubs table guarantees this [Bug 1054748]: TclpObjRemoveDirectory, TclpObjCopyDirectory, TclpObjCreateDirectory, TclpObjDeleteFile, TclpObjCopyFile, TclpObjRenameFile, TclpObjStat, TclpObjAccess, TclpOpenFileChannel * tests/registry.test: Fixed test files to load the correct * tests/winDde.test: registry and dde packages by using the info * win/Makefile.in: from makefiles to tell tcltest where to load * win/makefile.vc: them from. This avoids grabbing the wrong package from $auto_path which might be the install point rather than the dev location. Kudos to Jennifer Hom for adding -load and -loadfile to the tcltest package. [Bug 926088] * win/tclWinThrd.c (TclFinalizeLock): release the critical section before deleting it. [Bug 731778] * generic/tcl.h: Removed the file level 'extern "C" {' and the coresponding closing block as it serves no purpose given that all the function prototypes have the proper extern usage already. * unix/tclAppInit.c: When built as tcltest, TclThread_Init was * win/tclAppInit.c: getting called twice. First by Tcltest_Init, then again in Tcl_AppInit. The call from Tcl_AppInit is now removed. 2004-10-27 Andreas Kupries * tests/tm.test: Expanded on the testsuite entered by Donal. * library/tm.tcl: Even found bugs, these have been corrected. 2004-10-26 Kevin Kenny * tests/format.test (format-19.1): Additional regression test for Bug 868489. 2004-10-27 Donal K. Fellows * doc/*.n: Many small general documentation fixes. 2004-10-26 David Gravereaux * generic/tclPipe.c (TclCleanupChildren): bad cast of resolvedPid caused PIDs on win95 to go negative. winpipe-4.2 brought this to the surface. Fixed with sprintf in place of TclFormatInt. Thanks to hgiese [Patch 767676] 2004-10-26 Andreas Kupries * library/tm.tcl (::tcl::tm::Defaults): Added a second [file dirname] around the location of the executable. This fixes [Tcl SF Bug 1038705]. Instable of a bogus "foo/bin/lib" we now have the correct "foo/lib" as a base path for modules. 2004-10-26 Don Porter * generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_SubstObj): Fix for failed subst-12.3 test. * tests/subst.test (subst-12.3-5): More tests for Bug 1036649. * unix/Makefile.in (install-libraries): Updated the installation of the http, msgcat, and tcltest packages to install as Tcl Modules on Unix systems. Other platform Makefiles still need updating. [Patch 1054370] * tests/basic.test: Added missing constraints. * tests/compile.test: * tests/fileSystem.test: * tests/init.test (init-2.8): Updated to not rely on http package. 2004-10-26 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclVar.c: removed more direct references to the VAR flags, replaced with access macros. 2004-10-26 Donal K. Fellows * doc/expr.n: Clarified that non-num/non-bool literals require quoting. [Bug 1027849]. Also listed booleans as acceptable values. 2004-10-26 Kevin B. Kenny * library/clock.tcl (FreeScan): Fixed a bug that caused relative days of the week in free-form [clock scan] to be evaluated in the wrong time zone. * tests/clock.test (clock-31.[456]): Made sure that there isn't an env(TZ) or env(TCL_TZ) lying around that will override the time zone that we're trying to establish with the simulated registry. Both problems reported as [Bug 1054101]. 2004-10-25 Donal K. Fellows * doc/string.n (map): Rewrote to clarify that we don't just map single characters. [Bug 1048005] * doc/info.n (procs): Clarified that the pattern argument may have namespace separators in it. [Bug 1047928] * tests/cmdAH.test (cmdAH-8.45): Simplify in the hope that the reasons for [Bug 1053908] will become clearer. 2004-10-25 Don Porter * generic/tclExecute.c (IllegalExprOperandType,TclExecuteByteCode): Removed several DECACHE_INFO/CACHE_INFO pairs that are no longer needed for protection because routines like Tcl_SetErrorCode() and Tcl_AddErrorInfo() can no longer re-enter bytecode execution. * generic/tclResult.c (TclProcessReturn): Bug fix. Be sure that a missing -errorinfo option when code == TCL_ERROR causes the errorInfo field to get reset. * tests/thread.test (thread-4.4): Test depended on a ::errorInfo value initialized to "". Added code to test to setup that requirement. * library/auto.tcl Purged Tcl's script library of all * library/clock.tcl remaining references to global vars * library/init.tcl ::errorInfo and ::errorCode. * generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main): Updated to make use of TclGetReturnOptions instead of ::errorInfo variable. * generic/tclInterp.c (tclInit): Bug fix. Access dict variables with [dict get], not array syntax. 2004-10-25 Donal K. Fellows * tests/tm.test: Rewrote the tests to actually perform syntax checks on the public API. Added a new test (currently failing) to indicate that the test suite is not complete yet. * library/tm.tcl (path): Rewrote to turn this command into an ensemble to make it faster and simpler. 2004-10-24 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclCmdIL.c: * generic/tclExecute.c: * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclTrace.c: defined new macros to get/set the flags of variables. The only files that still access the flag values directly are tclCompCmds.c, tclCompile.c, tclProc.c and tclVar.c 2004-10-24 Don Porter * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_LogCommandInfo,Tcl_AddObjErrorInfo): Shift the initialization of errorCode to NONE to more central location. * generic/tclEvent.c (BgError,Tcl_BackgroundError,HandleBgErrors): Rewrite to build on the new TclGet/SetReturnOptions routines. * generic/tclResult.c (TclGetReturnOptions): Add call to Tcl_AddObjErrorInfo to be sure error fields are initialized. * generic/tclResult.c (TclTransferResult): Rewrite to build on the new TclGet/SetReturnOptions routines. 2004-10-22 Donal K. Fellows * doc/tm.n: Tightened up the documentation. * tests/tm.test: Created (with partially dummy content) so TIP#189 can be marked Final. * generic/tclNamesp.c (NsEnsembleImplementationCmd): Make ensembles cut their implementations out of error traces. This is the right thing to do more often than not. 2004-10-22 Kevin B. Kenny * library/clock.tcl: Fixed a typo where the fallback time zone became ::localtime instead of :localtime. Fixed a bug where time zone names containing hyphens could not be loaded. * tests/clock.test: Added regression test cases that covers both bugs. Thanks to Todd M. Helfter for finding these bugs. 2004-10-22 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclExecute.c (TclCompEvalObj, Tcl_ExprObj): * generic/tclProc.c (TclProcCompileProc): Always call object freeIntRepProc's in the same way. 2004-10-22 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclVar.c: fixed bug in commit of 2004-07-23, which was causing a leak of Proc structures and failure of compile-12.1. Two lines were 'zombies' from the previous way localVarNames worked. Credit dgp for finding this. 2004-10-21 Don Porter * generic/tclInt.h (Interp): * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp,Tcl_DeleteInterp): * generic/tclResult.c (GetKeys,ReleaseKeys,etc.): Moved the key values of the return options dictionary out of private fields of the Interp struct and into thread-static values managed in tclResult.c. * generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_CatchObjCmd, Tcl_ErrorObjCmd): Updated to call the new TclGet/SetReturnOptions routines to do much of their work. * generic/tclInt.h (TclGetReturnOptions,TclSetReturnOptions): * generic/tclResult.c (TclGetReturnOptions,TclSetReturnOptions): New utility routines to get/set the return options of an interp. Intent is that these routines will be converted to public routines after TIP approval. * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclProcessReturn,TclMergeReturnOptions): * generic/tclResult.c (TclProcessReturn,TclMergeReturnOptions): Move internal utility routines from tclCmdMZ.c to tclResult.c. * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp, Tcl_DeleteInterp): * generic/tclResult.c (TclTransferResult): Rework so that iPtr->returnOpts can be NULL when there are no special options. * generic/tclResult.c (TclRestoreInterpState): Plug potential memory leak. 2004-10-21 Kevin B. Kenny * generic/tclBasic.c: Various changes to [clock format] that, * generic/tclClock.c: together, make it roughly twice as fast * generic/tclInt.h: while all tests in the test suite * library/clock.tcl: continue to pass. 2004-10-20 Andreas Kupries * win/Makefile.in (install-msgs): Fixed a problem with the * win/Makefile.in (install-tzdata): installation of timezone data and message catalogs. They used the installed tcl library directory, not the source library. Before it was installed. Switched to source lib dir. Thanks to Kevin for the help in figuring this out. 2004-10-20 Don Porter * generic/tclThreadTest.c (ThreadEventProc): Corrected subtle bug where the returned (char *) from Tcl_GetStringResult(interp) continued to be used without copying or refcounting, while activity on the interp continued. That's not safe, and recent changes demonstrated the lack of safety with failing tests thread-4.3 and thread-4.5. 2004-10-19 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclDictObj.c (DictWithCmd): Make sure all paths (that are not themselves error paths) do not lose the result code. 2004-10-19 Don Porter * generic/tclInt.h (Tcl*InterpState): New internal routines * generic/tclResult.c (Tcl*InterpState): TclSaveInterpState, TclRestoreInterpState, and TclDiscardInterpState are superior replacements for Tcl_(Save|Restore|Discard)Result. Intent is that these routines will be converted to public routines after TIP approval. Interfaces for these routines were shamelessly stolen from Itcl. * generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalObjvInternal): * generic/tclDictObj.c (DictUpdateCmd, DictWithCmd): * generic/tclIOGT.c (ExecuteCallback): * generic/tclTrace.c (Trace*Proc,TclCheck*Traces,TclCallVarTraces): Callers of Tcl_*Result updated to call the new routines. The calls were relocated in several cases to perform save/restore operations only when needed. * generic/tclEvent.c (HandleBgErrors): * generic/tclFCmd.c (CopyRenameOneFile): Calls to Tcl_*Result that were eliminated because they appeared to serve no useful purpose, typically saving/restoring an error message, only to throw it away. 2004-10-18 Don Porter * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp,Tcl_DeleteInterp): * generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_CatchObjCmd): * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclMergeReturnOptions,TclProcessReturn): * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileReturnCmd): * generic/tclExecute.c (TclCompEvalObj): * generic/tclInt.h (Interp): * generic/tclProc.c (TclUpdateReturnInfo): Place primary storage of the -level and -code information in private fields of the Interp struct, rather than in a DictObj. This should significantly improve performance of TclUpdateReturnInfo. 2004-10-17 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclResult.c: removed unused variable [Bug 1048588]. Thanks to Daniel South. 2004-10-15 Don Porter * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclProcessReturn): Now that primary * generic/tclProc.c (TclUpdateReturnInfo): storage for the errorInfo and errorCode values are internal fields, we can set them at the time of the [return] command, and not have to wait until the specified number of "-level"s have popped. * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp,Tcl_DeleteInterp, TclEvalObjvInternal,Tcl_LogCommandInfo,TclAddObjErrorInfo): * generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_CatchObjCmd): * generic/tclEvent.c (BgError,ErrAssocData,Tcl_BackgroundError, HandleBgErrors,BgErrorDeleteProc): * generic/tclExecute.c (TclCreateExecEnv,TclDeleteExecEnv): * generic/tclIOUtil.c (comments only): * generic/tclInt.h (ExecEnv,Interp, ERR_IN_PROGRESS): * generic/tclInterp.c ([tclInit]): * generic/tclMain.c (comments only): * generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_CreateNamespace,Tcl_DeleteNamespace,TclTeardownNamespace): * generic/tclProc.c (TclUpdateReturnInfo): * generic/tclResult.c (Tcl_ResetResult,TclTransferResult): * generic/tclTrace.c (CallVarTraces): Reworked management of the "errorInfo" data of an interp. That information is now primarily stored in a new private (Tcl_Obj *) field of the Interp struct, rather than using a global variable ::errorInfo as the primary storage. The ERR_IN_PROGRESS flag bit value is no longer required to manage the value in its new location, and is removed. Variable traces are established to support compatibility for any code expecting the ::errorInfo variable to hold the information. ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** Code that sets traces on the ::errorInfo variable may notice a difference in timing of the firing of those traces. Code that uses the value ERR_IN_PROGRESS. 2004-10-14 Donal K. Fellows TIP#217 IMPLEMENTATION * generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd): Add -indices option from James Salsman. [Patch 1017532] * generic/tclUtil.c (TclMatchIsTrivial): Detect degenerate cases of glob matching that let us avoid scanning through hash tables. * generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoCommandsCmd, InfoGlobalsCmd, InfoProcsCmd): (InfoVarsCmd): Use this to speed up some [info] subcommands. 2004-10-12 Kevin B. Kenny * library/tzdata/America/Campo_Grande: * library/tzdata/America/Cuiaba: * library/tzdata/America/Sao_Paulo * library/tzdata/America/Argentina/Mendoza: * library/tzdata/America/Argentina/San_Juan: Synchronized to Olson's 'tzdata2004e'. 2004-10-08 Donal K. Fellows TIP#201 AND TIP#212 IMPLEMENTATIONS * doc/dict.n, doc/expr.n: Documentation for new functionality. * tests/expr.test: Basic tests of 'in' and 'ni' behaviour. * tests/dict.test (dict-21.*,dict-22.*): Tests for [dict update] and [dict with]. * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Implementation of the INST_LIST_IN and INST_LIST_NOT_IN bytecodes. * generic/tclParseExpr.c (GetLexeme): Parse the 'in' and 'ni' operators for TIP#201. * generic/tclDictObj.c (DictUpdateCmd,DictWithCmd): Core of implementation of TIP#212; docs and tests still to do... 2004-10-07 Don Porter * generic/tclTest.c (TestsetobjerrorcodeCmd): Simplified. 2004-10-07 Vince Darley * generic/tclFileName.c: * generic/tclFileSystem.h: * generic/tclIOUtil.c: * generic/tclPathObj.c: * unix/tclUnixFile.c: * win/tclWinFile.c: * tests/fileName.test: * tests/winFCmd.test: code reorganization for better generic/ platform code splitting [Bug 925620] removing the need for several #ifdef's, and tests and fix for an unreported Windows glob problem ('glob -dir C: -tails *'). 2004-10-07 Donal K. Fellows * *.3: Convert CONST to const and VOID to void so we document how people should actually use the Tcl API and not the compatability hacks that it has to have. * doc/man.macros, *.3: Update .AS macro so it can know how wide to make the third column of the argument list. Update documentation for C API (only users) to take advantage of this. * doc/FileSystem.3: Formatting fixes for greater documentation clarity. 2004-10-06 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclFileName.c (DoGlob, TclGlob): Stop messy sharing of interpreter result and instead use a private object for collecting the result of the glob. This simplifies TclGlob quite a lot. * generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSMatchInDirectory): Simplify by removing some nesting. Also standardize variable names. (FsAddMountsToGlobResult): Force updates to the list to be done in-place, putting a side-condition of non-shared-ness on the resultPtr argument to Tcl_FSMatchInDirectory, but everything would have broken before if that was shared *anyway*. * generic/tclEncoding.c (LoadTableEncoding): Removed reference to Tcl interpreter; it wasn't needed as direct object use is more efficient. * generic/tclPathObj.c: Made this file follow the style rules in the Engineering Manual more closely, and also take advantage of the internal object manipulation macros more. * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SwitchObjCmd): Reorganized to have fewer magic flag variables and to separate the code that scans for a match from the code that processes a match body. 2004-10-06 Don Porter * generic/tclBasic.c: * generic/tclBinary.c: * generic/tclCmdAH.c: * generic/tclCmdIL.c: * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: * generic/tclCompExpr.c: * generic/tclDictObj.c: * generic/tclEncoding.c: * generic/tclExecute.c: * generic/tclFCmd.c: * generic/tclHistory.c: * generic/tclIndexObj.c: * generic/tclInterp.c: * generic/tclIO.c: * generic/tclIOCmd.c: * generic/tclNamesp.c: * generic/tclObj.c: * generic/tclPkg.c: * generic/tclResult.c: * generic/tclScan.c: * generic/tclTimer.c: * generic/tclTrace.c: * generic/tclUtil.c: * generic/tclVar.c: * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: * unix/tclUnixPipe.c: * win/tclWinDde.c: * win/tclWinFCmd.c: * win/tclWinPipe.c: * win/tclWinReg.c: It is a poor practice to directly set or append to the value of the objResult of an interp, because that value might be shared, and in that circumstance a Tcl_Panic() will be the result. Searched for example of this practice and replaced with safer alternatives, often using the Tcl_AppendResult() routine that dkf just rehabilitated. * library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl: Bump to dde 1.3.1 * library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl: Bump to registry 1.1.5 2004-10-06 Donal K. Fellows * doc/SetResult.3: Made Tcl_AppendResult non-deprecated; better that people use it than most of the common alternatives! * generic/tclResult.c (Tcl_AppendResultVA): Make this work better with Tcl_Objs. [Patch 1041072] (Tcl_SetResult, Tcl_AppendElement): Change string to stringPtr to avoid C++ keywords. 2004-10-05 Don Porter * generic/tclBasic.c (TclObjInvoke): More simplification of the TclObjInvoke routine toward unification with the rest of the evaluation stack. * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp,Tcl_DeleteInterp, TclEvalObjvInternal,Tcl_LogCommandInfo): * generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_CatchObjCmd): * generic/tclEvent.c (BgError,Tcl_BackgroundError,HandleBgErrors): * generic/tclInt.h (Interp, ERROR_CODE_SET): * generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_CreateNamespace,Tcl_DeleteNamespace,TclTeardownNamespace): * generic/tclResult.c (Tcl_ResetResult,Tcl_SetObjErrorCode,TclTransferResult): * generic/tclTrace.c (CallVarTraces): Reworked management of the "errorCode" data of an interp. That information is now primarily stored in a new private (Tcl_Obj *) field of the Interp struct, rather than using a global variable ::errorCode as the primary storage. The ERROR_CODE_SET flag bit value is no longer required to manage the value in its new location, and is removed. Variable traces are established to support compatibility for any code expecting the ::errorCode variable to hold the information. ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** Code that sets traces on the ::errorCode variable may notice a difference in timing of the firing of those traces. * generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_PopCallFrame): Removed Bug 1038021 workaround. That bug is now fixed. 2004-10-04 Kevin B. Kenny * tests/clock.test (clock-34.*): Removed an antibug that forced comparison of [clock scan] results with the :localtime time zone. Now that [clock scan] uses the current time zone instead, the antibug caused several tests to fail. [Bug 1038554] 2004-10-04 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclParseExpr.c (GetLexeme): Ensure that the 'eq' and 'ne' operators are followed by non-alphabetic characters so lexemes can't run together. [Bug 884830] * doc/DictObj.3, doc/dict.n: Clarified that a dictionary is not order-preserving. [Bug 1032243] Also added another example to show off more ways of using a dictionary and a few other formatting improvements. 2004-10-02 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclDictObj.c (TraceDictPath, Tcl_DictObjPutKeyList): Add support for automatic creation of dictionary paths since that is what everyone seems to actually expect of the API! [Bug 1037235] (Tcl_DictObjNext): Make calling this after Tcl_DictObjDone non-fatal as that simplifies a number of internal APIs. This doesn't break any existing working code as it is a case which previously caused a panic. 2004-10-02 Don Porter * tests/namespace.test (namespace-8.7): Another test for save/restore of ::errorInfo and ::errorCode during global namespace teardown. 2004-10-01 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclProc.c (TclObjGetFrame, Tcl_UplevelObjCmd): * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_UpvarObjCmd): Cache stackframe level references in the level object for speed. 2004-09-30 Don Porter * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): Removed the flag bit value * generic/tclInt.h (Interp): EXPR_INITIALIZED. It was set during interp creation and never tested. Whatever purpose it had is in the past. * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalObjEx): Removed the flag bit value * generic/tclInt.h (Interp): USE_EVAL_DIRECT. It was used only * generic/tcLTest.c (TestevalexObjCmd): in the testing command * tests/parser.test (parse-9.2): [testevalex] and nothing in the test suite made use of the capability it enabled. * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_AddObjErrorInfo): More re-organization * generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_ErrorObjCmd): of the management of * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclProcessReturn): the errorCode value. * tests/error.test (error-6.4-9): * generic/tclNamespace.c (TclTeardownNamespace): Tcl_Obj-ified * tests/namespace.test (namespace-8.5,6): the save/restore of ::errorInfo and ::errorCode during global namespace teardown. Revised the comment to clarify why this is done, and added tests that will fail if this is not done. * generic/tclResult.c (TclTransferResult): Added safety checks so that unexpected undefined ::errorInfo or ::errorCode will not lead to a segfault. * generic/tclTrace.c (TclCallVarTraces): Save/restore the flag * tests/var.test (var-16.1): values that define part of the interpreter state during variable traces. [Bug 1038021]. 2004-09-30 Miguel Sofer * tests/subst.test (12.1-2): added tests for [Bug 1036649] 2004-09-29 Don Porter * tests/basic.test (49.*): New tests for TCL_EVAL_GLOBAL. 2004-09-29 Donal K.

None of this code is called any longer within the core, and the superior public interface, Tcl_EvalObjv, is available for any external callers. * generic/tclIntDecls.h: make genstubs * generic/tclStubInit.c: * generic/tclEvent.c (HandleBgErrors): Updated [bgerror] invocations to make use of Tcl_Obj based routines, dropping the calls to TclGlobalInvoke() 2004-09-27 Vince Darley * generic/tclFileName.c: * generic/tclFileSystem.h: * generic/tclIOUtil.c: * generic/tclPathObj.c: * tests/cmdAH.test: * tests/fileSystem.test: * tests/winFCmd.test: fix to bad error message with 'cd' on windows, when permissions are inadequate [Bug 1035462] and to treatment of a volume-relative pwd on Windows [Bug 1018980]. * doc/FileSystem.3: added missing Tcl_GlobTypeData documentation [Bug 935853] 2004-09-27 Kevin Kenny * compat/strftime.c (Removed): * generic/tclClock.c (removed TclClockOldscanObjCmd): * generic/tclDate.c (Regenerated): * generic/tclGetDate.y: * generic/tclInt.decls (removed TclGetDate and TclpStrftime): * generic/tclInt.h (removed TclGetDateInfo): * generic/tclIntDecls.h (Regenerated): * generic/tclStubInit.c (Regenerated): * library/clock.tcl: * unix/tclUnixTime.c (removed TclpStrftime): * win/Makefile.in: * win/makefile.bc: * win/makefile.bc: * win/tcl.dsp: Continued refactoring of [clock] for TIP 173 changes. Broke the free-form parser apart so that the Bison parser is responsible for only parsing, while clock.tcl handles relative times like "next Thursday", "next January". This change is needed to make timezones other than :localtime and :Etc/UTC work with free-form scanning. This change closes out the issue identified as being "for another day" in my log message of 2004-09-08. The refactored code also eliminates the last known references to TclpStrftime and TclGetDate, so those routines (including compat/strftime.c) have been removed. The refactoring also has the benefit that all storage in the Bison parser is now on the C stack, eliminating any need for mutex protection around [clock scan]. Also, changed the Makefiles so that 'make gendate' is available on Windows as well as Unix. * generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FormatObjCmd): Removed some grubby * generic/tclObj.c (SetBooleanFromAny): work-around code that was needed only because of Bug 868489. * generic/tclBasic.c (TclObjInvoke): Removed three unused variables to silence a compiler warning in VC++. 2004-09-27 Vince Darley * doc/FileSystem.3: fix to small typo. 2004-09-26 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclCompCmds.c: * generic/tclCompExpr.c: * generic/tclCompile.c: * generic/tclCompile.h: * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclProc.c: * tests/compExpr-old.test: * tests/compExpr.test: * tests/expr.test: * tests/for.test: * tests/if.test: * tests/incr.test: * tests/while.test: Report compilation errors at runtime, [Patch 1033689] by dgp. 2004-09-23 Mo DeJong * unix/dltest/Makefile.in (clean): Fixup make clean rule so that it does not delete all files when SHLIB_SUFFIX is set to the empty string in a static build.

Kenny * library/tzdata/America/Montevideo: Updated to reflect ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2004d.tar.gz. (Changes to Asia/Jerusalem were in the comments only.) [Routine maintenance - no bug] Spanish-language description of the change at http://www.presidencia.gub.uy/decretos/2004091502.htm 2004-09-21 Don Porter * generic/tclCompCmds.c: Tolerate [append] syntax errors * tests/appendComp.test (8.1): at compile time, and allow runtime to raise the error (or succeed if a redefined [append] allows). * generic/tclBasic.c: Reworked management of the interp * generic/tclCompile.c: flag ERR_ALREADY_LOGGED, to reduce * generic/tclExecute.c: its exposure. Still left several * generic/tclNamesp.c: references that are just too nice on performace to do away with. These changes also resolve an inconsistency in the ::errorInfo values produced by [namespace eval x error foo bar] and [namespace eval x {error foo bar}]. * generic/tclExecute.c (TclCompEvalObj): Simplified the TclCompEvalObj routine. Much housekeeping now reliably happens elsewhere. [Patch 1031949] 2004-09-21 Donal K.

This greatly reduces the number of different places in the code that need to know details about an internal bitflag field of the Interp struct. Also places errorCode setting in one place for easier future mods. 2004-09-17 Kevin B.Kenny * generic/tclDate.c: Revised tclGetDate.y to use bison instead * generic/tclGetDate.y: of yacc to build the parser, eliminating * generic/tclInt.h: all the complicated hackery involving * unix/Makefile.in: 'sed' postprocessing. Rebuilt the parser. 2004-09-14 Kevin B. Kenny * generic/tclClock.c (ClockOldscanObjCmd): Silenced a compiler warning (long passed as a param where unsigend long was expected). 'Unsigned long' is wrong, but the fix is really to change the signature of TclGetDate to return a structure of its 'yy' variables and then do the remaining work inside clock.tcl. But, as I said on 2004-09-08, that's a job for another day.

[Bug 1026903] 2004-09-11 Kevin B. Kenny * generic/tclClock.c (TclMktimeObjCmd): Corrected a bad check for error return from 'mktime'. * generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetIntFromObj): Corrected a problem where demoting a wide to an int failed on a big-endian machine. [Bug 1026125]. * tests/clock.test (clock-43.1): Added regression test for error return from 'mktime'. 2004-09-11 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclExecute.c (INST_CONCAT1): fix for [Bug 1025834]; avoid unnecessary string copies. 2004-09-10 David Gravereaux * tests/tcltest.test: tcltest-12.3-4 needed to have ::tcltest::loadScript set to empty in their -setup 2004-09-10 Donal K.

Thanks to David Graveraux . 2004-09-11 Don Porter * generic/tclNamespace.c (TclGetNamespaceForQualName): Resolved longstanding inconsistency in the treatment of the TCL_NAMESPACE_ONLY flag revealed by testing the 2004-09-09 commits against Itcl. TCL_NAMESPACE_ONLY now acts as specified in the pre-function comment, forcing resolution in the passed in context namespace. It has been incorrectly forcing resolution in the interp's current namespace. 2004-09-10 Kevin Kenny * library/clock.tcl: Fixed a bug where %z always put a plus sign on the time zone in :localtime. * tests/clock.test: Added test case for the above bug. 2004-09-10 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclExecute.c (INST_CONCAT1): added a peephole optimisation for concatting an empty string. This enables replacing the idiom 'K $x [set x {}]' by '$x[set x {}]' for fastest execution. 2004-09-09 David Gravereaux * win/tclWinConsole.c: Calls to WriteFile and WriteConsoleA changed to WriteConsole for simplicity. 2004-09-09 Don Porter * generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_ForgetImport): Corrected faulty * tests/namespace.test: logic that relied exclusively on string matching and failed in the presence of [rename]s. [Bug 560297] Also corrected faulty prevention of [namespace import] cycles. [Bug 1017299] 2004-09-08 Don Porter * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): Removed obsolete field for storing the string-based command procedure of built-in commands. We no longer have any string-based built-in commands! 2004-09-08 Kevin B.

[Bug 1024058] * generic/tclClock.c (TclClockMktimeObjCmd): Fixed a bug where the month was scanned incorrectly in -timezone :localtime. * tests/clock.test (clock-34.*,clock-40.1, clock-41.1): Adjusted the clock-34.* test cases so that the consistency check is performed in :localtime rather than the current time zone. This change allows dealing with issues where the C library has a different idea of DST conversion than Tcl. (Real fix would be to break TclGetDate into separate parser and time converter, and do the time conversion in clock.tcl. That's for another day.) Added regression test case for the bug where month was scanned incorrectly in -timezone :localtime. [Bug 1023779] Added regression test case for %k at the zero hour. 2004-09-07 David Gravereaux * win/makefile.vc: some quoting needed to be removed as it was breaking with VC7. [Bug 1023150] 2004-09-07 Kevin B. Kenny * doc/clock.n: Documented the default -format, and changed references to a (nonexistent) msgcat command to refer to the msgcat package. [Bug 1023870] * generic/tclTimer.c: Removed a premature optimisation that attempted to store the assoc data in the client data; the optimisation caused a bug that [after] would overwrite its imports. [Bug 1016167] * library/clock.tcl (InitTZData, ClearCaches): Changed so that the in-memory time zone :UTC (and its aliases) always gets reinitialised, in case tzdata is absent.

Fellows * generic/tclScan.c (Tcl_ScanObjCmd, ValidateFormat): Ensure that the %ld conversion works correctly on 64-bit platforms. [Bug 1011860] 2004-08-19 Kevin Kenny * library/clock.tcl (format): Changed default timezone format from alphabetic to numeric to produce scannable times in more locales. * tests/clock.test (clock-37.1): Removed now-unused 'needPST' constraint and the comments that refer to it. 2004-08-18 Andreas Kupries * library/init.tcl: Integrated TIP #189. We source a separate file (see below), instead of inlining the contents of that file. This should beeasier to maintain, and easier to backport/install in 8.4 installations. Note: Usage of Tcl Modules is restricted to non-safe interps. It cannot be loaded into a safe interp. * library/tm.tcl: New file, the v2 reference implementation for TIP #189, Tcl Modules. * doc/tm.n: New file, documentation for Tcl Modules, based on the TIP. * unix/mkLinks: Regenerated. * win/makefile.vc: Added tm.tcl to list of files to install. 2004-08-18 Kevin Kenny * tests/httpd (httpdRespond): Corrected an abuse of the [clock] command that caused test failures for some values of [clock clicks]. * doc/clock.n * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp, Tcl_HideUnsafeCommands): * generic/tclClock.c (all): * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclInterp.c (CreateSlave): * library/clock.tcl: (new file) * library/init.tcl (clock): * library/msgs/*.msg:(new files) * library/tzdata/*: * library/tzdata/*/*: * library/tzdata/*/*/*: (new files) * tools/installData.tcl: (new file) * tools/loadICU.tcl: (new file) * tools/makeTestCases.tcl: (new file) * tools/tclZIC.tcl: (new file) * unix/Makefile.in: * unix/configure: (regenerated) * unix/tcl.m4: * tests/clock.test (all): * win/Makefile.in: * win/Makefile.vc: Implementation of TIPs #173 and #209. The [clock] command is now a Tcl ensemble, with most of its functionality written in Tcl and callouts to C code only to access low-level functions such as localtime, mktime and tzset. In addition to the functionality changes called out in the two TIPs, it is worth noting that the [clock] command in a safe slave interpreter is now an alias to the [clock] command in the master, and that [clock] is otherwise not expected to function entirely correctly in safe interps. C code that simply does Tcl_MakeSafe needs to be aware that [clock] may need special handling. (It appears unlikely that such code actually exists.) One incompatibility of note is that if the time zone cannot be determined from the TZ, TCL_TZ environment variables, or from the Windows control panel, so that the C library must be used for date and time conversions, then times outside the range of time_t will fail; they used to return bad data silently.

This is a possible error made by implementors of virtual filesystems based on 'tclvfs', thinking that they have to close the channel in the close handler for the filesystem. 2004-07-14 Andreas Kupries * generic/tclIO.c: * generic/tclIO.h: * Not reverting, but #ifdef'ing the changes from May 19, 2004 out of the core. This removes the ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for channel drivers it introduced. This has become possible due to Expect gaining a BlockModeProc and now handling blockingg and non-blocking modes correctly. Thus [SF Tcl Bug 943274] is still fixed if a recent enough version of Expect is used. * doc/CrtChannel.3: Added warning about usage of a channel without a BlockModeProc. 2004-07-15 Andreas Kupries * generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_PutsObjCmd): Added length check to the old depreceated newline syntax, to ensure that only "nonewline" is accepted. [Tcl SF Bug 985869], reported by Joe Mistachkin . 2004-07-15 Zoran Vasiljevic * generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): stuffed memory leak incurred by re-initializing of TSD slots after the last call to TclFinalizeThreadData (done from within Tcl_FinalizeThread()). We basically just repeat the TclFinalizeThreadData() once more before tearing down TSD keys in TclFinalizeSynchronization(). There should be more elaborate mechanism in place for handling such issues, based on thread cleanup handlers registered on the OS level. Such change requires much more work and would also require TIP because some visible parts of Tcl API would have to be modified. In the meantime, this will do. * generic/tclNotify.c (TclFinalizeNotifier): Added conditional notifier finalization based on the fact that an TclInitNotifier has been called for the current thread. This fixes the Tcl Bug #770053 again. Hopefully this time w/o unwanted side-effects. 2004-07-15 Kevin Kenny * generic/tclLiteral.c (TclReleaseLiteral): Removed unused variable 'codePtr' to silence a message from VC++. 2004-07-15 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): * generic/tclLiteral.c (TclReleaseLiteral): fix for [Bug 467523], which resurfaced with the latest changes. The previous strategy was to have special code in TclReleaseLiteral to handle the self-references generated by empty scripts. The new approach avoids the self-reference altogether, by having empty scripts return an unshared literal. 2004-07-15 Zoran Vasiljevic * generic/tclEvent.c (NewThreadProc): Backout of changes to fix the Tcl Bug #770053. See SF bugreport for more info. 2004-07-11 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalEx): leak fix by dgp, release objv[objectsUsed] on error. 2004-07-11 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_SubstObj): leak fix by dgp, release result on error. 2004-07-11 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclNamesp.c (BuildEnsembleConfig): Don't forget to clean out references when deleting the hash table. * generic/tclDictObj.c (Tcl_DictObjRemoveKeyList): Oops, forgot to delete value object when removing the hash entry. [Bug 989093 in part] 2004-07-11 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC): fixed leak of expandNestList objs when there is an error while an expansion is in progress (code added at checkForCatch). 2004-07-11 Vince Darley * generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to 'cd' bug when vfs is active [Bug 986944 in tclvfs project] - this bug recently introduced by some threading fixes. Need to work out how to add tests for this. 2004-07-10 Kevin Kenny * tests/clock.test (clock-2.11): Changed the test so that it isn't an infinite loop when run under valgrind on a slow virtual machine. Thanks to Miguel Sofer for the bug report. Also put in code to restore env(LC_TIME) after tests complete, silencing a warning from 'make TESTFLAGS="-debug 1" test'. 2004-07-08 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclBasic.c (DeleteInterpProc): reverted the modification of 3 days ago, as the leak of [Bug 983660] is now handled by the change in TclCleanupByteCode. * generic/tclCompile.c (TclCleanupByteCode): let each bytecode remove its references to literals at interp deletion, without updating the dying literal table. * generic/tclLiteral.c (TclDeleteLiteralTable): with the above change to TclCleanupByteCode, this function now removes a single reference to the literal object and cleans up its own structures. 2004-07-08 Kevin Kenny * win/tclWinInit.c (AppendEnvironment): Silenced a compilation warning about a type mismatch. 2004-07-07 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): fix for [Bug 458361]. Single-word scripts are compiled with an unshared cmdName to avoid shimmering between bytecode and cmdName reps. 2004-07-07 Don Porter * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclMergeReturnOptions): Simplified logic and removed potential memory leak. [Bug 986257]. 2004-07-07 Donal K. Fellows * tools/man2help2.tcl (setTabs, IPmacro): Added support for the more advanced *roff macros used in Tk's doc/bind.n * generic/tclObj.c (TclInitObjSubsystem): Declare all current object types. 2004-07-06 Don Porter * tests/cmdMZ.test (cmdMZ-return-2.17): Added a test that a word containing backslash-quoted value is treated correctly. * generic/tclCompile.c (TclWordKnownAtCompileTime): [Bug 986196] Corrected flaw above and the flaw that caused TCL_TOKEN_SIMPLE_WORDs to have their original word value copied ( "{a b}" ) rather than the actual value ( "a b" ). Thanks to Kevin Kenny for report and tests. 2004-07-06 Kevin B. Kenny * tests/cmdMZ.test (cmdMZ-return-2.15,cmdMZ-return-2.16): Added a test that a return code containing spaces is correctly returned. 2004-07-06 Donal K. Fellows * tools/man2html2.tcl (IPmacro, setTabs): Added support for the more advanced *roff macros used in Tk's doc/bind.n 2004-07-05 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclBasic.c (DeleteInterpProc): fix for [Bug 983660], found by pspjuth. Tear down the global namespace before freeing the interp handle, to allow the bytecodes to free their non-shared literals. * generic/tclLiteral.c (TclReleaseLiteral): moved special code for self-ref so that it is also used for non-shared literals. Possible bug found by inspection. 2004-07-03 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclExecute.c (ExprRoundFunc): * tests/expr-old.test (39.1): added support for wide integers to round(); [Bug 908375], reported by Hemang Lavana. 2004-07-03 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclCompile.h: * generic/tclInt.decls: * generic/tclIntDecls.h: * generic/tclStubInit.c: Moved declaration of TclCompEvalObj() from tclCompile.h to the internal stubs table, for compiler experimentation. 2004-07-02 Jeff Hobbs * generic/regcomp.c (stid): correct minor pointer size error * generic/tclPipe.c (TclCreatePipeline): applied TIP #202 patch * doc/exec.n, tests/exec.test: that adds 2>@1 as a special case redirection of stderr to the result output. 2004-07-02 Kevin B. Kenny * tests/io.test: Changed several tests to run the event loop rather than just calling [update] periodically, avoiding intermittent failures (usually in io-29.32) that stemmed from unreaped processes on Windows. * tests/winPipe.test (winpipe-1.11): Fixed a bug that caused test to fail if the path name of the working directory contained whitespace [Bug 678430] 2004-07-01 Vince Darley * tests/fileSystem.test: Added test for [Bug 970529] 2004-07-01 Donal K. Fellows * win/README.binary, win/README: Updated references to Tcl and Tk 8.4 to point to 8.5 instead. Thanks to Theo Verelst for spotting this. * generic/tcl.h: Added note to help prevent those changes from getting missed in the future. * doc/Namespace.3, doc/load.n, doc/Limit.3: Typo fixes and remove duplicate documentation. [Bug 983146] 2004-06-30 Don Porter * tests/fileSystem.test: Minor correction to new fileSystem-9.X tests so that they clean up temporary directories correctly. 2004-06-30 Vince Darley * doc/filename.n: clarified behaviour concerning trailing slashes in filenames [Bug 971976] * win/tclWinFile.c: * tests/fileSystem.test: fix and tests for [Bug 979879] 2004-06-30 Donal K. Fellows TIP#188 IMPLEMENTATION * doc/string.n, tests/string.test: Add 'wideinteger' to things * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): that can be tested for with the [string is] subcommand. [Patch 940915, by Kevin Kenny] 2004-06-29 Don Porter * win/tclWinInit.c: Corrected reference counting flaw in recent changes. Thanks to Pat Thoyts. [Bug 981893]. 2004-06-29 Vince Darley * win/tclWin32Dll.c: fix to compilation with VC++ 5.2 2004-06-29 Donal K. Fellows * library/safe.tcl: Make sure that the temporary variable is local to the namespace and not inadvertently global. [Bug 981733] 2004-06-24 Donal K. Fellows * tests/unixNotfy.test: Modified constraints so that testing with a threaded tclsh (not tcltest) will not hang. 2004-06-23 Don Porter * generic/tclThreadStorage.c: Corrected type casting errors that led to calculation of a negative index value, thus accesses outside the threadStorageCache array, thus memory corruption. Crash observed on Mac OS X platform. 2004-06-23 Joe Mistachkin * generic/tclThread.c: Implements platform independent thread storage * generic/tclThreadStorage.c: mechanism and fixes associated bugs on platforms where there is limited thread local storage space (Win98/WinNT4). [Patch 976496] * generic/tclInt.decls: * generic/tclIntDecls.h: Added thread storage functions to the * generic/tclStubInit.c: internal stubs table. * unix/Makefile.in: * unix/configure: * unix/tcl.m4: * win/makefile.vc: * win/rules.vc: * win/Makefile.in: Modified the unix, VC++, and Cygwin build systems * win/configure: to include the new "tclThreadStorage.c" and the new * win/tcl.m4: USE_THREAD_STORAGE define. 2004-06-23 Pat Thoyts * tests/io.test: Added -force to 18.1 and 18.2. This was failing on WinXP. * tests/winFCmd.test: Added a cleanup to winFCmd-16.11 to avoid a failure in 16.12. * tests/eofchar.data: Added -kb option to ensure a binary checkout to win32 systems. This fixes a failure in io-61.1 * win/makefile.vc: fix for bug #977369 about launching tclsh to generate a tclConfig.sh with the nmake build system 2004-06-23 Kevin B. Kenny * tests/winDde.test (createChildProcess): Added a 200-ms delay (with the event loop live) when shutting down the test DDE server process, With the delay in place, nuisance failures of tests winDde-4.2, -6.5, and -6.6 appear to be much less frequent. [Bug #957449] 2004-06-23 Donal K. Fellows * tests/*.test: Standardize use of platform constraints. * unix/tclUnixInit.c (GetStackSize, TclpCheckStackSpace): * unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpThreadGetStackSize): Added code to check whether the C stack is about to be exceeded, from [Patch 746378] by Joe Mistachkin but with substantial revisions. 2004-06-22 Kevin Kenny * generic/tclEvent.c (NewThreadProc): Fixed broken build on Windows caused by missing TCL_THREAD_CREATE_RETURN. * tests/stack.test (stack-3.1): Corrected nuisance error in threaded builds. 2004-06-22 Zoran Vasiljevic * generic/tclEvent.c: * generic/tclInt.h: * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: * unix/tclUnixThrd.c: * win/tclWinThrd.c: [Bug #770053]. See bug report for more information about what it does. * tests/unixNotfy.test: rewritten to use tcltest::threadReap to gracefully wait for the test thread to exit. Otherwise we got a race condition with main thread exiting before the test thread. This exposed the long-standing Tcl lib issue with resource garbage-collection on application exit. 2004-06-21 Mo DeJong * win/tclWin32Dll.c (DllMain, _except_dllmain_detach_handler, TclpCheckStackSpace, _except_checkstackspace_handler, TclWinCPUID, _except_TclWinCPUID_detach_handler): * win/tclWinChan.c (Tcl_MakeFileChannel, _except_makefilechannel_handler): * win/tclWinFCmd.c (DoRenameFile, _except_dorenamefile_handler, DoCopyFile, _except_docopyfile_handler): Rework pushing of exception handler function pointer so that compiling with gcc -O3 works. Remove empty function call to avoid compiler warning. Mark the DllMain function as noinline to avoid compiler error from duplicated asm labels in generated code. 2004-06-21 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (Ptr2Block): Rewrote so as to maximize the chance of detecting and reporting a memory inconsistency without relying on things being consistent. [Bug 975895] 2004-06-18 Don Porter * tests/load.test: Relaxed strictness of error message matching for test load-2.3 so that it will pass on Mac OSX. * generic/tclEncoding.c: Static TclFindEncodings -> FindEncodings. * generic/tclInt.h: Updated TclpFindExecutable() so that failed * generic/tclUtil.c: attempts to find the executable are saved * unix/tclUnixFile.c: just as successful finds are. [Patch 966053] * unix/tclUnixTest.c: 2004-06-18 Kevin B. Kenny * tests/winFCmd.test (winFCmd-16.12): Changed test to compute the target directory, so as not to fail if the user's HOME isn't the root. 2004-06-19 Daniel Steffen * unix/tcl.m4: autoconf 2.5 fixes in Darwin section. * unix/configure: autoconf-2.57 2004-06-18 Donal K. Fellows * unix/tclUnixInit.c (localeTable): Added some more locale to encoding mapping info from Jim Huang * generic/tclInt.h (PendingObjData,TclFreeObjMacro,etc): * generic/tclObj.c (TclFreeObj): Added scheme for making TclFreeObj() avoid blowing up the C stack when freeing up very large object trees. [Bug 886231] * win/tclWinInit.c (SetDefaultLibraryDir): Fix logic, simplify and add comments. 2004-06-17 Don Porter * generic/tclObj.c: Added missing space in panic message. * win/tclWinInit.c: Inform [tclInit] about the default library directory via the ::tclDefaultLibrary variable. This should correct a problem with my 2004-06-11 commit. Better solutions still in the works. Thanks to Joe Mistachkin for pointing out the breakage. 2004-06-16 Don Porter * doc/library.n: Moved variables ::auto_oldpath and * library/auto.tcl: ::unknown_pending into ::tcl namespace. * library/init.tcl: [Bugs 808319, 948794] 2004-06-15 Donal K. Fellows * doc/binary.n: Added some notes to the documentation of the 'a' format to address the point raised in [RFE 768852]. 2004-06-15 Jeff Hobbs * unix/tclConfig.sh.in (TCL_EXTRA_CFLAGS): set to @CFLAGS@, which is the configure-time CFLAGS. Addendum to m4 change on 2004-05-26. 2004-06-14 Kevin Kenny * win/Makefile.in: Corrected compilation flags for tclPkgConfig.c so that it doesn't require Stubs. * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): Removed comment stating that TclInitEmbeddedConfigurationInformation needs Stubs; with the change above, the comment is now erroneous. 2004-06-11 Don Porter * doc/Encoding.3: Removed bogus claims about tcl_libPath. * generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_Init): Stopped setting the tcl_libPath variable. [tclInit] can get all its directories without it. * tests/unixInit.test: Modified test code that made use of tcl_libPath variable. * unix/tclUnixInit.c: Stopped setting the tclDefaultLibrary variable, execept on the Mac OS X platform with HAVE_CFBUNDLE. In that configuration we should seek some way to make use of the TIP 59 facilities and get rid of that usage of tclDefaultLibrary as well. * generic/tclInterp.c: Updated [tclInit] to make $env(TCL_LIBRARY) an absolute path, and to include the scriptdir,runtime configuration value on the search path for init.tcl. * unix/tclUnixInit.c: The routines Tcl_Init() and TclSourceRCFile() * win/tclWinInit.c: had identical implementations for both win and * generic/tclInterp.c: unix. Moved to a single generic implementation. * generic/tclMain.c: * library/init.tcl: * generic/tclInitScript.h (removed): * unix/Makefile.in: * win/tcl.dsp: * unix/configure.in: Updated TCL_PACKAGE_PATH value to * win/configure.in: handle --libdir configuration. * unix/configure.in: autoconf-2.57 * win/configure.in: * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): Moved call to TclInitEmbeddedConfigurationInformation() earlier in Tcl_CreateInterp() so that other parts of interp creation and initialization may access and use the config values. 2004-06-11 Kevin Kenny * win/tclAppInit.c: Restored the 'setargv' procedure when compiling with mingw. Apparently, the command line parsing in mingw doesn't work as well as that in vc++, and the result was (1) that winPipe-8.19 failed, and (2) that 'make test' would work at all only with TESTFLAGS='-singleproc 1'. [Bug 967195] 2004-06-10 Zoran Vasiljevic * generic/tclIOUtil.c: removed forceful setting of the private cached current working directory rep from within the Tcl_FSChdir(). We delegate this task to the Tcl_FSGetCwd() which does this task anyway. The relevant code is still present but disabled temporarily until the change proves correct. The Tcl test suite passes all test with the given change so I suppose it is good enough. 2004-06-10 Don Porter * unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): Disabled addition of * win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): relative-to-executable directories to the library search path. A first step in reform of Tcl's startup process. ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** Attempts to directly run ./tclsh or ./tcltest out of a build directory will either fail, or will make use of an installed script library in preference to the one in the source tree. Use `make shell` or `make runtest` instead. * tests/unixInit.test: Modified tests to suit above changes. * generic/tclPathObj.c: Corrected [file tail] results when operating on a path produced by TclNewFSPathObj(). [Bug 970529] 2004-06-09 Zoran Vasiljevic * generic/tclIOUtil.c: partially corrected [Bug 932314]. Also, corrected return values of Tcl_FSChdir() to reflect those of the underlying platform-specific call. Originally, return codes were mixed with those of Tcl. 2004-06-08 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclCompile.c: * generic/tclExecute.c: handle warning [Bug 969066] 2004-06-08 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclHash.c (RebuildTable): Move declaration of variable so it is only declared when it is used. [Bug 969068] 2004-06-07 Donal K. Fellows * doc/lsearch.n: Added correct option to example. [Bug 968219] 2004-06-05 Kevin B. Kenny * generic/tcl.h: Corrected Tcl_WideInt declarations so that the mingw build works again. * generic/tclDecls.h: Changes to the tests for * generic/tclInt.decls: clock frequency in * generic/tclIntDecls.h: Tcl_WinTime * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: so that any clock frequency * generic/tclPlatDecls.h: is accepted provided that * generic/tclStubInit.c: all CPU's in the system share * tests/platform.test (platform-1.3): a common chip, and hence, * win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclWinCPUID): presumably, a common clock. * win/tclWinTest.c (TestwincpuidCmd) This change necessitated a * win/tclWinTime.c (Tcl_GetTime): small burst of assembly code to read CPU ID information, which was added as TclWinCPUID in the internal Stubs. To test this code in the common case of a single-processor machine, a 'testwincpuid' command was added to tclWinTest.c, and a test case in platform.test. Thanks to Jeff Godfrey and Richard Suchenwirth for reporting this bug. [Bug #976722] 2004-06-04 Don Porter * generic/tcl.h: Restored #include to tcl.h, rejecting the "fix" for "Bug" 945570. Tcl_FSSeek() needs the values of SEEK_SET, etc. and too many extensions rely on tcl.h providing stdio.h for them. 2004-06-02 Jeff Hobbs * win/tclWinFile.c (TclpFindExecutable): when using GetModuleFileNameA (Win9x), convert from CP_ACP to WCHAR then convert back to utf8. Adjunct to 2004-04-07 fix. 2004-06-02 David Gravereaux * tests/winPipe.test (winpipe-6.1): blocking set to 1 before closing to ensure we get an exitcode. The windows pipe channel driver doesn't differentiate between a blocking and non-blocking close just yet, but will soon. Part of [Bug 947693] 2004-06-02 Vince Darley * doc/file.n: fix to documentation of 'file volumes' (Bug 962435) 2004-06-01 David Gravereaux * win/makefile.vc: check for either MSDEVDIR or MSVCDIR being in the environment, for VC7. [Bug 942214] * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_SetChannelOption): -buffersize wasn't understanding hexidecimal notation nor was reporting number conversion errors. The behavior to silently ignore settings outside the acceptable range of Tcl_SetChannelBufferSize (<10 or >1M) is unchanged. This silent ignoring behavior might be up for review soon.. 2004-05-30 David Gravereaux * win/tclWinPipe.c: * win/tclWinPort.h: Reworked the win implementation of Tcl_WaitPid to support exitcodes in the 'signed short' range. Even though this range is non-portable, it is valid on windows. Detection of exception codes are now more accurate. Previously, an application that exited with ExitProcess((DWORD)-1); was improperly reported as exiting with SIGABRT. 2004-05-30 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclInterp.c: Added comments describing the purposes of each function in the limit implementation and rewrote the names of some non-public functions for greater clarity of purpose. * doc/interp.n: Added note about what happens when a limited interpreter creates a slave interpreter. * doc/Limit.3: Added manual page for the resource limit subsystem's C API. [Bug 953903] 2004-05-29 Joe English * doc/global.n, doc/interp.n, doc/lrange.n: Fix minor markup errors. 2004-05-28 Donal K.

Kenny * tests/clock.test: Added a single test for the presence of %G in [clock format], and conditioned out the clock-10.x series if they're all going to fail because of a broken strftime() call. [Bug 961714] 2004-05-27 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclHash.c (CompareStringKeys): Added #ifdef to allow people to instruct this function to use strcmp(). [FRQ 951168] * generic/tclVar.c: Moved declarations into #if guards so they only happen when required. * unix/tclUnixPort.h: Guard declaration of strtod() so it is only enabled when we don't have a declaration in stdlib.h * unix/tclUnixThrd.c (Tcl_CreateThread): Added declarations * unix/tclUnixTest.c (AlarmHandler): and casts so that * unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtyModemStatusStr): all functions are * generic/tclScan.c (Tcl_ScanObjCmd): defined before use * generic/tclDictObj.c (InvalidateDictChain): and no cross-type * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): uses are performed. The overall effect is to make building with gcc with the additional flags -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes produce no increase in the total number of warnings (except for main(), which is undeclared for traditional reasons.) 2004-05-26 Jeff Hobbs * unix/Makefile.in: Rework configure ordering to TCL_LINK_LIBS, * unix/tcl.m4: ENABLE_SHARED, CONFIG_CFLAGS, & ENABLE_SYMBOLS * unix/configure: before TCL_EARLY_FLAGS and TCL_64BIT_FLAGS * unix/configure.in: (about 400 lines earlier) in configure.in. This forces CFLAGS configuration to be done before many tests, which is needed for 64-bit builds and may affect other builds. Also make CONFIG_CFLAGS append to CFLAGS directly instead of using EXTRA_CFLAGS, and have LDFLAGS append to any existing value. [Bug #874058] * unix/dltest/Makefile.in: change EXTRA_CFLAGS to DEFS 2004-05-26 Don Porter * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Correction to debug prints and testing * library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl: if TCLTEST_OPTIONS value. Corrected * tests/tcltest.test: double increment of numTestFiles in -singleproc 1 configurations. Updated tcltest-19.1 to tcltest 2.1 behavior. Corrected tcltest-25.3 to not falsely report a failure in tcltest.test. Bumped to tcltest 2.2.6. [Bugs 960560, 960926] 2004-05-25 Jeff Hobbs * doc/http.n (http::config): add -urlencoding option (default utf-8) * library/http/http.tcl: that specifies encoding conversion of * library/http/pkgIndex.tcl: args for http::formatQuery. Previously * tests/http.test: undefined, RFC 2718 says it should be utf-8. 'http::config -urlencoding {}' returns previous behavior, which will throw errors processing non-latin-1 chars. Bumped http package to 2.5.0. 2004-05-25 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclInterp.c (DeleteScriptLimitCallback): Move all deletion of script callback hash table entries to happen here so the entries are correctly removed at the right time. [Bug 960410] 2004-05-25 Miguel Sofer * docs/global.n: added details for qualified variable names [Bug 959831] 2004-05-25 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_FindNamespaceVar): * tests/namespace.test (namespace-17.10-12): reverted commit of 2004-05-23 and removed the tests, as it interferes with the varname resolver and there are apps that break (AlphaTk). A fix will have to wait for Tcl9. * generic/tclVar.c: Caching of namespace variables disabled: no simple way was found to avoid interfering with the resolver's idea of variable existence. A cached varName may keep a variable's name in the namespace's hash table, which is the resolver's criterion for existence. * tests/namespace.c (namespace-17.10): testing for interference between varname caching and name resolver. 2004-05-25 Kevin Kenny * tests/winFCmd.test: Correct test for the presence of a CD-ROM so that it doesn't misdetect some other sort of filesystem with a write-protected root as being a CD-ROM drive. [Bug 918267] 2004-05-25 Don Porter * tests/winPipe.test: Protect against path being set * tests/unixInit.test: Unset path when done. * tests/unload.test (unload-3.1): Verify [pkgb_sub] does not exist.

When left in place, that trace can cause later tests to fail. 2004-05-25 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclBasic.c: Removed references to Tcl_RenameCommand from * generic/tcl.h: comments. [Bug 848440, second part] * tests/fCmd.test: Rewrote tests that failed consistently on NFS so they either succeed (through slightly more liberal matching of the results) or are constrained to not run. [Bug 931312] * doc/bgerror.n: Use idiomatic open flags for working with log files. [Bug 959602] 2004-05-24 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclExecute.c (VerifyExprObjType): use GET_WIDE_OR_INT to properly have tclIntType used for smaller values. This corrects TclX bug 896727 and any other 3rd party extension that created math functions but was not yet WIDE_INT aware in them. 2004-05-24 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclInterp.c (TclInitLimitSupport): Made limits work on platforms where sizeof(void*)!=sizeof(int). [Bug 959193] 2004-05-24 Miguel Sofer * doc/set.n: accurate description of name resolution process, referring to namespace.n for details [Bug 959180] 2004-05-23 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_FindNamespaceVar): [Bug 959052] fixed, insuring that no "zombie" variables are found. * generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupSimpleVar): comments re [Bug 736729] (predecessor of [Bug 959052]) removed. * tests/namespace.test: added tests 17.10-12 The patch modifies non-documented behaviour, and passes every test in the testsuite. However, scripts relying on the old behaviour may break. Note that the only behaviour change concerns the creative writing of unset variables. More precisely, which variable will be created when neither a namespace variable nor a global variable by that name exists, as defined by [info vars]. The new behaviour is that the namespace resolution process deems a variable to exist exactly when [info vars] finds it - ie, either it has value, or else it was "fixed" by a call to [variable]. Note: this patch was removed on 2002-05-25. 2004-05-22 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclVar.c (TclObjLookupVar, TclObjUnsetVar2): fix for new (in tcl8.4) exteriorisations of [Bug 736729] due to the use of tclNsVarNameType obj types. Reenabling the use of this objType ("VAR ref absolute" benchmark down to 66 ms, from 230). Added comments in TclLookupSimpleVar explaining my current understanding of [Bug 736729]. 2004-05-22 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclVar.c: fix for [Bug 735335]. The use of tclNsVarNameType objs is still disabled, pending resolution of [Bug 736729]. 2004-05-21 Miguel Sofer * tests/namespace.test (namespace-41.3): removed the {knownBug} constraint: [Bug 231259] is closed since nov 2001, and the fix of [Bug 729692] (INST_START_CMD) makes the test succeed. 2004-05-21 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Move a few declarations a short distance so pre-C99 compilers can cope. Also fix so TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG path compiles... 2004-05-21 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): reorganised TEBC automatic variables, defining them in tight blocks instead of at the function level. This has three purposes: - it simplifies the analysis of individual instructions - it is preliminary work to the non-recursive engine - it allows a better register allocation by the optimiser; under gcc3.3, this results in up to 10% runtime in some tests 2004-05-20 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclInterp.c (TclLimitRemoveAllHandlers): * generic/tclBasic.c (DeleteInterpProc): * tests/interp.test (interp-34.7): Ensure that all limit callbacks are deleted when their interpreters are deleted. [Bug 956083] 2004-05-19 Kevin B. Kenny * win/tclWinFile.c (TclpMatchInDirectory): fix for an issue where there was a sneak path from Tcl_DStringFree to SetErrorCode(0). The result was that the error code could be reset between a call to FindFirstFileEx and the check of its status return, leading to a bizarre error return of {POSIX unknown {No error}}. (Found in unplanned test - no incident logged at SourceForge.) 2004-05-19 Donal K. Fellows * tests/interp.test (interp-34.3): Rewrite this test to see if a time limit can catch a tight bytecode loop, a maximally aggressive denial-of-service attack. * generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_LimitCheck): Fix the sense of checks to see whether a time limit has been extended. * tests/*.test: Many minor fixes, including ensuring that every test is run (so constraints control whether the test is doing anything) and making sure that constraints are always set using the API instead of poking around inside tcltest's internal datastructures. Also got rid of all trailing whitespace lines from the test suite! 2004-05-19 Andreas Kupries * generic/tclIO.c: Fixed [SF Tcl Bug 943274]. This is the same problem * generic/tclIO.h: as [SF Tcl Bug 462317], see ChangeLog entry 2001-09-26. The fix done at that time is incomplete. It is possible to get around it if the actual read operation is defered and not executed in the event handler itself. Instead of tracking if we are in an read caused by a synthesized fileevent we now track if the OS has delivered a true event = actual data and bypass the driver if a read finds that there is no actual data waiting. The flag is cleared by a short or full read. ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for channel drivers. 2004-05-17 Vince Darley * generic/tclPathObj.c: fix to (Bug 956063) in 'file dirname'. * tests/cmdAH.test: added test for this bug. * doc/FileSystem.3: better documentation of refCount requirements of some FS functions (Bug 956126) 2004-05-19 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclTest.c (TestgetintCmd): Made the tests in get.test check * tests/get.test: Tcl_GetInt() since the core now avoids that function. 2004-05-18 Kevin B. Kenny * compat/strftime.c (_fmt, ISO8601Week): * doc/clock.n: * tests/clock.test: Major rework to the handling of ISO8601 week numbers. Now passes all the %G and %V test cases on Windows, Linux and Solaris [Bugs #500285, #500389, and #852944] 2004-05-18 Donal K. Fellows * doc/append.n, doc/upvar.n: Added example. 2004-05-18 David Gravereaux * win/makefile.vc: now generates a tclConfig.sh from Pat Thoyts [Patch 909911] 2004-05-18 Donal K. Fellows * doc/lsearch.n: Improve clarity (based on [Patch 955361] by Peter Spjuth) * tools/man2help2.tcl (macro,SHmacro): Added support for subsection (.SS) header macros. * doc/interp.n: Added user documentation for the TIP#143 resource limits and some examples. * generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_LimitCheck, Tcl_LimitTypeReset): Reset the limit-exceeded flag when removing a limit. 2004-05-18 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): added comments to classify the variables according to their use in TEBC. 2004-05-17 Donal K. Fellows * doc/global.n, doc/uplevel.n: Added an example. * tests/info.test (info-3.1): Corrected test result back to what it used to be in Tcl 7.* now that command counts are being correctly kept. * generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC:INST_START_CMD): Make sure that the command-count is always advanced. Allows TIP#143 limits to tell that work is being done. * doc/list.n: Updated example to fit with the unified format. * doc/seek.n: Added some examples. 2004-05-17 Vince Darley * win/tclWinFile.c: * tests/cmdAH.test: fix to (Bug 954263) where 'file executable' was case-sensitive. 2004-05-17 Donal K. Fellows * doc/OpenFileChnl.3: Documented type of 'offset' argument to Tcl_Seek was wrong. [Bug 953374] 2004-05-16 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): remove one level of indirection for compiledLocals addressing. 2004-05-16 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclExecute.c (INST_CALL_FUNC1): bugfix; restored (DE)CACHE_STACK_INFO pair around the call - the user defined math function could cause a recursive call to TEBC. 2004-05-16 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteInterp): * generic/tclExecute.c (INST_START_CMD): interp deletion now modifies the compileEpoch, eliminating the need for the check for interp deletion in INST_START_CMD. 2004-05-16 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclCompile.h: * generic/tclCompile.c: * generic/tclExecute.c: changed implementation of {expand}, last chance while in alpha as ... ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** Scripts precompiled with ProComp under previous tcl8.5a versions may malfunction due to changed instruction numbers for INST_LIST_INDEX_IMM, INST_LIST_RANGE_IMM and INST_START_CMD. 2004-05-14 Kevin B. Kenny * generic/tclInt.decls: Promoted TclpLocaltime and TclpGmtime * generic/tclIntDecls.h: from Unix-specific stubs to the generic * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: internal Stubs table. Reran 'genstubs' * generic/tclStubInit.c: * unix/tclUnixPort.h: * generic/tclClock.c: Changed a buggy 'GMT' timezone specification to the correct 'GMT0'. [Bug #922848] * unix/tclUnixThrd.c: Moved TclpGmtime and TclpLocaltime to unix/tclUnixTime.c where they belong. * unix/tclUnixTime.c (TclpGmtime, TclpLocaltime, TclpGetTimeZone, ThreadSafeGMTime [removed], ThreadSafeLocalTime [removed], SetTZIfNecessary, CleanupMemory): Restructured to make sure that the same mutex protects all calls to localtime, gmtime, and tzset. Added a check in front of those calls to make sure that the TZ env var hasn't changed since the last call to tzset, and repeat tzset if necessary. [Bug #942078] Removed a buggy test of the Daylight Saving Time information in 'gettimeofday' in favor of applying 'localtime' to a known value. [Bug #922848] * tests/clock.test (clock-3.14): Added test to make sure that changes to $env(TZ) take effect immediately. * win/tclWinTime.c (TclpLocaltime, TclpGmtime): Added porting layer for 'localtime' and 'gmtime' calls. 2004-05-14 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclExecute.c: * generic/tclCompile.h: the math functions receive a pointer to top of the stack (tosPtr) instead of the execution environment (eePtr). First step towards a change in the execution stack management - it is now only used within TEBC. 2004-05-13 Donal K. Fellows TIP#143 IMPLEMENTATION * generic/tclExecute.c (TclCompEvalObj, TclExecuteByteCode): * generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalObjvInternal): Enable limit checking. * generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_Limit*): Public limit API. * generic/tcl.decls: * tests/interp.test: Basic tests of command limits. * doc/binary.n: TIP#129 IMPLEMENTATION [Patch 858211] * generic/tclBinary.c: Note that the test suite probably has many more * tests/binary.test: failures now due to alterations in constraints. 2004-05-12 Miguel Sofer Optimisations for INST_START_CMD [Bug 926164]. * generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): avoid emitting INST_START_CMD as the first instruction in a bytecoded Tcl_Obj. It is not needed, as the checks are done before calling TEBC. * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): runtime peephole optimisation: check at INST_POP if the next instruction is INST_START_CMD, in which case we fall through. 2004-05-11 Donal K. Fellows * doc/split.n, doc/join.n: Updated examples and added more. 2004-05-11 Vince Darley * doc/glob.n: documented behaviour of symbolic links with 'glob -types d' (Bug 951489) 2004-05-11 Donal K. Fellows * doc/scan.n: Updated the examples to be clearer about their relevance to the scan command. 2004-05-10 Donal K. Fellows * doc/scan.n: Added examples. 2004-05-10 David Gravereaux * win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Moved non-obvious appending logic to outside the loop and added commentary for its purpose. Also use the existence of contents in the linePtr rather than the scratch DString post the append, as this more clear. (TclpCreateProcess): When under NT, with no console, and executing a DOS application, the path priming does not need an ending space as BuildCommandLine() will do this for us. 2004-05-08 Vince Darley * generic/tclFileName.c: * generic/tclIOUtil.c: remove some compiler warnings on MacOS X. 2004-05-07 Chengye Mao * win/tclWinPipe.c: refixed bug 789040 re-entered in rev 1.41.

The #ifdef logic for the corresponding macros has been reformulated to make it clearer. 2004-05-05 Donal K.

When changing the eofchar we have to zap the related flags to prevent them from prematurely aborting the next read. 2004-04-25 Vince Darley * generic/tclPathObj.c: fix to [Bug 940281]. Tcl_FSJoinPath will now always return a valid Tcl_Obj when the input is valid. * generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to [Bug 931823] for a more consistent Tcl_FSPathSeparator() implementation which allows filesystems not to implement their Tcl_FSFilesystemSeparatorProc if they wish to use the default '/'. Also fixed associated memory leak seen with, e.g., tclvfs package. * doc/FileSystem.3: documented Tcl_FSJoinPath return values more clearly, and Tcl_FSFilesystemSeparatorProc requirements. 2004-04-23 David Gravereaux * win/tclWin32Dll.c: Removed my mistake from 4/19 of adding an exit handler to TclWinInit. TclWinEncodingsCleanup called from TclFinalizeFilesystem does the Tcl_FreeEncoding for us. * win/tclWinChan.c (Tcl_MakeFileChannel) : Case for CloseHandle returning zero and not throwing a RaiseException(EXCEPTION_INVALID_HANDLE) now being done. 2004-04-22 David Gravereaux * generic/tclEvent.c: TclSetLibraryPath's use of caching the stringrep of the pathPtr object to TclGetLibraryPath called from another thread was ineffective if the original's stringrep had been invalidated as what happens when it gets muted to a list. * win/tclWinTime.c: If the Tcl_ExitProc (StopCalibration) is called from the stack frame of DllMain's PROCESS_DETACH, the wait operation should timeout and continue. * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclThread.c: * generic/tclEvent.c: * unix/tclUnixThrd.c: * win/tclWinThrd.c: Provisions made so masterLock, initLock, allocLock and joinLock mutexes can be recovered during Tcl_Finalize. 2004-04-22 Donal K.

Fellows * doc/Hash.3: Added note to Tcl_{First,Next}HashEntry docs that deleting the element they return is supported (and is in fact the only safe update you can do to the structure of a hashtable while an iteration is going over it.) * doc/bgerror.n: Added example from David Welton. [Patch 939473] * doc/after.n: Added examples from David Welton. [Patch 938820] 2004-04-19 David Gravereaux * win/tclWin32Dll.c: Added an exit handler in TclWinInit() so tclWinTCharEncoding could be freed during Tcl_Finalize(). * generic/tclEncoding.c: Added FreeEncoding(systemEncoding) in TclFinalizeEncodingSubsystem because its ref count was incremented in TclInitEncodingSubsystem. 2004-04-19 Donal K.

Implements three changes: * generic/tclInt.h: Reworked the Tcl header files into a clean * unix/tclUnixPort.h: hierarchy where tcl.h < tclPort.h < tclInt.h * win/tclWinInt.h: and every C source file should #include * win/tclWinPort.h: at most one of those files to satisfy its declaration needs. tclWinInt.h and tclWinPort.h also better organized so that tclWinPort.h includes the Windows implementation of cross-platform declarations, while tclWinInt.h makes declarations that are available on Windows only. * generic/tclBinary.c (TCL_NO_MATH): Deleted the generic/tclMath.h * generic/tclMath.h (removed): header file. The internal Tcl * macosx/Makefile (PRIVATE_HEADERS): header, tclInt.h, has a * win/tcl.dsp: #include directly, and file external to Tcl needing libm should do the same. * win/Makefile.in (WIN_OBJS): Deleted the win/tclWinMtherr.c file. * win/makefile.bc (TCLOBJS): It's a vestige from matherr() days * win/makefile.vc (TCLOBJS): gone by. * win/tcl.dsp: * win/tclWinMtherr.c (removed): End Patch 922727. * tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-3.1): Default encoding on Darwin systems is utf-8. Thanks to Steven Abner (tauvan). [Bug 928808] 2004-04-06 Donal K. Fellows * tests/cmdAH.test (cmdAH-18.2): Added constraint because access(...,X_OK) is defined to be permitted to be meaningless when running as root, and OSX exhibits this. [Bug 929892] 2004-04-02 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclCompile.c: * generic/tclInt.h: removed the macro TCL_ALIGN() from tclInt.h, replaced by the static macro ALIGN() in tclCompile.c [Bug 926445] 2004-04-02 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclCompile.h: removed redundant #ifdef _TCLINT [Bug 928415], reported by tauvan. 2004-04-02 Don Porter * tests/tcltest.test: Corrected constraint typos: "nonRoot" -> "notRoot".

[Bug 926454] 2004-04-01 Vince Darley * generic/tclIOUtil.c: Fix to privately reported vfs bug with 'glob -type d -dir . *' across a vfs boundary. No tests for this are currently possible without effectively moving tclvfs into Tcl's test suite. 2004-03-31 Don Porter * doc/msgcat.n: Clarified message catalog file encodings. [Bug 811457] * library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl: Updated internals to make use of [dict]s to store message catalog data and to use [source -encoding utf-8] to access catalog files. Thanks to Michael Sclenker. [Patch 875055, RFE 811459] Corrected [mcset] to be able to successfully set a translation to the empty string. [mcset $loc $src {}] was incorrectly set the $loc translation of $src back to $src. Also changed [ConvertLocale] to minimally require a non-empty "language" part in the locale value. If not, an error raised prompts [Init] to keep looking for a valid locale value, or ultimately fall back on the "C" locale. [Bug 811461]. * library/msgcat/pkgIndex.tcl: Bump to msgcat 1.4.1. 2004-03-30 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclHash.c (HashStringKey): Cleaned up. This function is not faster, but it is a little bit clearer. * generic/tclLiteral.c (HashString): Applied logic from HashObjKey. * generic/tclObj.c (HashObjKey): Rewrote to fix fault which hashed every single-character object to the same hash bucket. The new code is shorter, simpler, clearer, and (happily) faster. 2004-03-30 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC): reverting to the previous method for async tests in TEBC, as the new method turned out to be too costly. Async tests now run every 64 instructions. 2004-03-30 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclCompile.c: New instruction code INST_START_CMD * generic/tclCompile.h: that allows checking the bytecode's * generic/tclExecute.c: validity [Bug 729692] and the interp's * tests/interp.test (18.9): readyness [Bug 495830] before running * tests/proc.test (7.1): the command. It also changes the * tests/rename.test (6.1): mechanics of the async tests in TEBC, doing it now at command start instead of every 16 instructions. 2004-03-30 Vince Darley * generic/tclFileName.c: Fix to Windows glob where the pattern is * generic/tclIOUtil.c: a volume relative path or a network * tests/fileName.test: share [Bug 898238]. On windows 'glob' * tests/fileSystem.test: will now return the results of 'glob /foo/bar' and 'glob \\foo\\bar' as 'C:/foo/bar', i.e. a correct absolute path (rather than a volume relative path). Note that the test suite does not test commands like 'glob //Machine/Shared/*' (on a network share). 2004-03-30 Vince Darley * generic/tclPathObj.c: Fix to filename bugs recently * tests/fileName.test: introduced [Bug 918320]. 2004-03-29 Don Porter * generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main, StdinProc): Append newline only * tests/basic.test (basic-46.1): to incomplete scripts as part of multi-line script construction. Do not add an extra trailing newline to the complete script. [Bug 833150] 2004-03-28 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): corrected possible segfault when a compilation returns TCL_OUTLINE_COMPILE after having grown the compile environment [Bug 925121]. 2004-03-27 Miguel Sofer * doc/array.n: added documentation for trace-realted behaviour of 'array get' [Bug 449893] 2004-03-26 Don Porter * README: Bumped version number to 8.5a2 to * tools/tcl.wse.in: distinguish HEAD of CVS development * unix/configure.in: from the recent 8.5a1 release. * unix/tcl.spec: * win/README.binary: * win/configure.in: * unix/configure: autoconf-2.57 * win/configure: 2004-03-26 Vince Darley * generic/tclPathObj.c: Fix to Windows-only volume relative * tests/fileSystem.test: path normalization. [Bug 923568]. Also fixed another volume relative bug found while testing. 2004-03-24 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclNamesp.c (NsEnsembleImplementationCmd): Fix messed up handling of strncmp result which just happened to work in some libc implementations. [Bug 922752] 2004-03-23 Donal K. Fellows * doc/StringObj.3: Inverted the sense of the documentation of how the bytes parameter is documented to match behaviour. [Bug 921464] 2004-03-19 Kevin B.

Removed the claims in the documentation that it does. * doc/return.n: Updated example to use [dict merge]. 2004-03-16 Jeff Hobbs * unix/configure, unix/tcl.m4: add -Wno-strict-aliasing for GCC to suppress useless type puning warnings. 2004-03-16 Donal K. Fellows * doc/file.n: *roff formatting fix. [Bug 917171] 2004-03-15 David Gravereaux * win/tclWinNotify.c: Fixed a mistake where the return value of MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx for "a message is in the queue" wasn't accurate. I removed the check on the case result==(WAIT_OBJECT_0 + 1) This was having the error of falling into GetMessage and waiting there by accident, which wasn't alertable through Tcl_AlertNotifier. I'll do some more study on this and try to find-out why. 2004-03-12 Donal K. Fellows IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#163 * generic/tclDictObj.c (DictMergeCmd): This is based on work by Joe * tests/dict.test (dict-20.*): English in Tcl [FRQ 745851] * doc/dict.n: but not exactly. 2004-03-10 Kevin B. Kenny * generic/tclGetDate.y (TclGetDate): Fix so that [clock scan -gmt true] uses the GMT base date instead of the local one. [Bug 913513] * tests/clock.test: Added test cases for wrong ISO8601 week number [Bug 500285] and wrong GMT base date [Bug 913513]. Several tests still fail on Windows, and these are actual faults in [clock scan]. Fix is still pending. * generic/tclDate.c: Regenerated. 2004-03-08 Vince Darley * generic/tclFileName.c: Fix to 'glob -path' near the root * tests/fileName.test: of the filesystem. [Bug 910525] 2004-03-08 Don Porter * generic/tclParse.c (TclParseInit): Modified TclParseInit so * generic/tclTest.c ([testexprparser]): that Tcl_Parse initialization conforms to documented promised about what fields will not be modified by what Tcl_Parse* routines. [Bug 910595] 2004-03-05 Mo DeJong * win/configure: Regen. * win/configure.in: Check for define of MWMO_ALERTABLE in winuser.h. * win/tclWinPort.h: If MWMO_ALERTABLE is not defined in winuser.h then define it. This is needed for Mingw. 2004-03-05 Kevin B. Kenny * generic/tclTest.c: Modified TesteventObjCmd to use a Tcl_QueuePosition in place of an 'int' for the enumerated queue position, to avoid a compiler warning on SGI. (Bug #771960). 2004-03-05 Kevin B. Kenny * tests/registry.test: Applied fix from Patch #910174 to make the test for an English-language system include any country code, rather than just English-United States.1252. Thanks to Pat Thoyts for the changes. 2004-03-04 Pat Thoyts * tests/registry.test: Applied fixed from #766159 to skip two tests on Win98 that depend on a Unicode registry (NT specific). 2004-03-04 Don Porter * generic/tclInt.h (TclParseInit): Factored the common code * generic/tclParse.c (TclParseInit): for initializing a Tcl_Parse * generic/tclParseExpr.c: struct into one routine. 2004-03-04 Pat Thoyts * library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl: Added TIP #100 support to the * win/tclWinReg.c: registry package (patch #903831) This provides a Windows test of the TIP #100 mechanism and a sample to show how unloading an extension can be done. 2004-03-04 Donal K.

[Bug 909288] 2004-03-03 Jeff Hobbs *** 8.5a1 TAGGED FOR RELEASE *** * changes: updated for 8.5a1 2004-03-03 David Gravereaux * win/makefile.vc: default environment variable for VC++ is %MSDevDir% not %MSVCDir%, although vcvars32.bat sets both. * win/tclWinNotify.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent) : Allows an idling notifier to service "Asynchronous Procedure Calls" from its wait state. Only useful for extension authors who decide they might want to try "completion routines" with WriteFileEx(), as an example. From experience, I recommend that "completion ports" should be used instead as the execution of the callbacks are more managable. 2004-03-01 Jeff Hobbs * README: update patchlevel to 8.5a1 * generic/tcl.h: * tools/tcl.wse.in, tools/tclSplash.bmp: * unix/configure, unix/configure.in, unix/tcl.spec: * win/README.binary, win/configure, win/configure.in: * unix/tcl.m4: update HP-11 build libs setup 2004-03-01 Don Porter * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Allow 64-bit enabling on IRIX64-6.5* systems.

Tcl_Finalize called from DllMain will pause all threads. Trust that the thread will get the close notice at a later time if it does ever wake up before being cleaned up by the system anyway. 2004-02-17 Don Porter * doc/tcltest.n: * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Changed -verbose default value to {body error} so that detailed information on unexpected errors in tests is provided by default, even after the fix for [Bug 725253] 2004-02-17 Jeff Hobbs * tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-7.1): * unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitPlatform): ensure the std fds exist to prevent crash condition [Bug #772288] 2004-02-17 Donal K.

That worked when lib was "lib/..." but fails for other values. Thanks go to Patrick Samson for pointing this out. 2004-02-10 David Gravereaux * win/nmakehlp.c: better macro grepping logic. 2004-02-07 David Gravereaux * win/makefile.vc: * win/rules.vc: * win/tcl.rc: * win/tclsh.rc: Added an 'unchecked' option to the OPTS macro so a core built with symbols can be linked to the non-debug enabled C run-time. As per discussion with Kevin Kenny. Called like this: nmake -af makefile.vc OPTS=unchecked,symbols This clarifies the meaning of the 'g' naming suffix to mean only that the binary requires the debug enabled C run-time. Whether the binary contains symbols or not is a different condition. 2004-02-06 Don Porter * doc/clock.n: Removed reference to non-existent [file ctime]. 2004-02-05 David Gravereaux * docs/tclvars.n: Added clarification of the tcl_platform(debug) var that it only refers to the flavor of the C run-time, and not whether the core contains symbols. 2004-02-05 Don Porter * generic/tclFileName.c (SkipToChar): Corrected CONST and type-casting issues that caused compiler warnings. 2004-02-04 Don Porter * generic/tclCmdAH.c (StoreStatData): Removed improper refcount decrement of the varName parameter. This error was causing segfaults following test cmdAH-28.7. * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Corrected references to non-existent $name variable in [cleanupTests].

[Bug 672938] * win/nmakehlp.c: defensive techniques to avoid static buffer overflows and a couple envars upsetting invokations of cl.exe and link.exe. [Bug 885537] -------- * tests/winPipe.test: Added proof that BuildCommandLine() is not doing the "N backslashes followed a quote -> insert N * 2 + 1 backslashes then a quote" rule needed for the crt's parse_cmdline(). * win/tclWinPipe.c: Fixed BuildCommandLine() to pass the new cases. 2004-01-30 David Gravereaux * win/makefile.vc: Use the -GZ compiler switch when building for symbols. This is supposed to emulate the release build better to avoid hiding problems that only show themselves in a release build. 2004-01-29 Vince Darley * generic/tclPathObj.c: fix to [Bug 883143] in file normalization 2004-01-29 Vince Darley * doc/file.n: * generic/tclFCmd.c * generic/tclTest.c * library/init.tcl * mac/tclMacFile.c * tests/fileSystem.test: fix to [Bug 886352] where 'file copy -force' had inconsistent behaviour wrt target files with insufficient permissions, particular from vfs->native fs. Behaviour of '-force' is now always consistent (and now consistent with behaviour of 'file delete -force'). Added new tests and documentation and cleaned up the 'simplefs' test filesystem. * generic/tclIOUtil.c * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c * unix/tclUnixFile.c * win/tclWinFile.c: made native filesystems more robust to C code which asks for mount lists. * generic/tclPathObj.c: fix to [Bug 886607] removing warning/error with some compilers. 2004-01-28 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclObj.c (SetBooleanFromAny): Rewrite to do more efficient string->bool conversion. Many other minor whitespace/style fixes to this file too. 2004-01-27 David Gravereaux * win/nmakehlp.c: Use '.\nul' as the sourcefile name instead of 'nul' so VC 5.2 doesn't try searching the path for it and failing with a possible dialogbox popping up about having to add a CD to an empty drive. Also added a SetErrorMode() call to disable any dialogs that cl.exe or link.exe might create. [Bug 885537] 2004-01-22 Vince Darley * doc/file.n: clarified documentation of 'file system' [Bug 883825] * tests/fCmd.test: improved test result in failure case. 2004-01-22 Vince Darley * tests/fileSystem.test: 3 new tests * generic/tclPathObj.c: fix to [Bug 879555] in file normalization. * doc/filename.n: small clarification to Windows behaviour with filenames like '.....', 'a.....', '.....a'. * generic/tclIOUtil.c: slight improvement to native cwd caching on Windows. 2004-01-21 David Gravereaux * doc/Panic.3: Mentions of 'panic' and 'panicVA' removed from the documentation. 2004-01-21 Vince Darley * doc/FileSystem.3: * generic/tcl.decls: * generic/tclCmdAH.c * generic/tclDecls.h * generic/tclFCmd.c * generic/tclFileName.c * generic/tclFileSystem.h * generic/tclIOUtil.c * generic/tclInt.decls * generic/tclInt.h * generic/tclIntDecls.h * generic/tclPathObj.c * generic/tclStubInit.c * generic/tclTest.c * mac/tclMacFile.c * tests/fileName.test * tests/fileSystem.test * tests/winFCmd.test * unix/tclUnixFile.c * win/tclWin32Dll.c * win/tclWinFCmd.c * win/tclWinFile.c * win/tclWinInt.h Three main issues accomplished: (1) cleaned up variable names in the filesystem code so that 'pathPtr' is used throughout. (2) applied a round of filesystem optimisation with better handling and caching of relative and absolute paths, requiring fewer conversions. (3) clarifications to the documentation, particularly regarding the acceptable refCounts of objects. Some new tests added. Tcl benchmarks show a significant improvement over 8.4.5, and on Windows typically a small improvement over 8.3.5 (Unix still appears to require optimisation). TCL_FILESYSTEM_VERSION_2 introduced, but for internal use only. There should be no public incompatibilities from these changes. Thanks to dgp for extensive testing. 2004-01-19 David Gravereaux * win/tclWinPipe.c (Tcl_WaitPid): Fixed a thread-safety problem with the process list. The delayed cut operation after the wait was going stale by being outside the list lock. It now cuts within the lock and does a locked splice for when it needs to instead. [Bug 859820] 2004-01-18 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclCompile.c, generic/tclCompile.h: Two new opcodes, INST_LIST_INDEX_IMM and INST_LIST_RANGE_IMM, that have operand(s) of new type OPERAND_IDX4 which represents indexes into things like lists (and perhaps other things eventually.) * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Implementation of the new opcodes. INST_LIST_INDEX_IMM does a simple [lindex] with either front- or end-based simple indexing. INST_LIST_RANGE_IMM does an [lrange] with front- or end-based simple indexing for both the reference to the first and last items in the range. * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileLassignCmd): Generate bytecode for the [lassign] command. 2004-01-17 David Gravereaux * win/tclWinInit.c: added #pragma comment(lib, "advapi32.lib") when compiling under VC++ so we don't need to specify it when linking. 2004-01-17 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LassignObjCmd): Add more shimmering protection for when the list is also one of the variables. BASIC IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#57 * generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LassignObjCmd): Implementation of the [lassign] command that takes full advantage of Tcl's object API. * doc/lassign.n: New file documenting the command. * tests/cmdIL.test (cmdIL-6.*): Test suite for the command. 2004-01-15 David Gravereaux * win/tclWinReg.c: Placed the requirement for advapi.lib into the object file itself with #paragma comment (lib, ...) when built with VC++. This will simplify linking for users of the static library. * win/rules.vc: Added new 'fullwarn' to the CHECKS commandline macro; sets $(FULLWARNINGS). * win/makefile.vc: Removed 'advapi.lib' from $(baselibs). Added new logic to crank-up the warning levels for both compile and link when $(FULLWARNINGS) is set. Some clean-up with how the resource files are built and how -DTCL_USE_STATIC_PACKAGES is sent when compiling the shells. * win/tclAppInit.c: Small change in how TCL_USE_STATIC_PACKAGES is used. * win/tcl.rc: * win/tclsh.rc: Some clean-up with how the resource files are built. Fixed 'OriginalFilename' problem that still thought a debug suffix was still 'd', now is 'g'. 2004-01-14 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclDictObj.c (TraceDictPath, DictExistsCmd): Adjusted behaviour of [dict exists] so a failure to look up a dictionary along the path of dicts doesn't trigger an error. This is how it was documented to behave previously... [Bug 871387] * generic/tclDictObj.c: Assorted dict fixes from Peter Spjuth relating to [Bug 876170]. (SetDictFromAny): Make sure that lists retain their ordering even when converted to dictionaries and back. (TraceDictPath): Correct object reference count handling! (DictReplaceCmd, DictRemoveCmd): Stop object leak. (DictIncrCmd,DictLappendCmd,DictAppendCmd,DictSetCmd,DictUnsetCmd): Simpler handling of reference counts when assigning to variables. * tests/dict.test (dict-19.2): Memory leak stress test 2004-01-13 Don Porter * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SwitchObjCmd): Silence compiler warnings. Patch 876451: restores performance of [return]. Also allows forms such as [return -code error $msg] to be bytecompiled. * generic/tclInt.h: Factored Tcl_ReturnObjCmd() into two pieces: * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: TclMergeReturnOptions(), which can parse the options to [return], check their validity, and create the corresponding return options dictionary, and TclProcessReturn(), which takes that return options dictionary and performs the [return] operation. * generic/tclCompCmds.c: Rewrote TclCompileReturnCmd() to call TclMergeReturnOptions() at compile time so the return options dictionary is computed at compile time (when it is fully known). The dictionary is pushed on the stack along with the result, and the code and level values are included in the bytecode as operands. Also supports optimized compilation of un-[catch]ed [return]s from procs with default options into the INST_DONE instruction. * generic/tclExecute.c: Rewrote INST_RETURN instruction to retrieve the code and level operands, pop the return options from the stack, and call TclProcessReturn() to perform the [return] operation. * generic/tclCompile.h: New utilities include TclEmitInt4 macro * generic/tclCompile.c: and TclWordKnownAtCompileTime(). End Patch 876451. * generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_GlobObjCmd): Latest changes to management of the interp result by Tcl_GetIndexFromObj() exposed improper interp result management in the [glob] command procedure. Corrected by adopting the Tcl_SetObjResult(Tcl_NewStringObj) pattern. This stopped a segfault in test filename-11.36. [Bug 877677] 2004-01-13 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct, Tcl_WrongNumArgs): Create fresh objects instead of using the one currently in the interpreter, which isn't guaranteed to be fresh and unshared. The cost for the core will be minimal because of the object cache, and this fixes [Bug 875395]. 2004-01-12 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclCompExpr.c (CompileLandOrLorExpr): cosmetic changes. 2004-01-12 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclCompExpr.c (CompileLandOrLorExpr): new logic, fewer instructions. As a side effect, the instructions INST_LOR and INST_LAND are now never used. * generic/tclExecute.c (INST_JUMP*): small optimisation; fix a bug in debug code. 2004-01-11 David Gravereaux * win/tclWinThrd.c (Tcl_ConditionNotify): condPtr must be dereferenced to see if there are waiters else uninitialized datum is manipulated. [Bug 849007 789338 745068] 2004-01-09 David Gravereaux * generic/tcl.h: Renamed and deprecated #defines moved to within the #ifndef TCL_NO_DEPRECATED block. This allows us to build Tcl to check for deprecated functions in use, such as panic() and Tcl_Ckalloc(). By request from DKF. Extensions that build with -DTCL_NO_DEPRECATED now have these macros as restricted. ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** * win/makefile.vc: * win/rules.vc: Added -DTCL_NO_DEPRECATED usage to makefile.vc. Called like this: nmake -af makefile.vc CHECKS=nodep 2004-01-09 Vince Darley * generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to infinite loop in TclFinalizeFilesystem [Bug 873311] ****************************************************************** *** CHANGELOG ENTRIES FOR 2003 IN "ChangeLog.2003" *** *** CHANGELOG ENTRIES FOR 2002 IN "ChangeLog.2002" *** *** CHANGELOG ENTRIES FOR 2001 IN "ChangeLog.2001" *** *** CHANGELOG ENTRIES FOR 2000 IN "ChangeLog.2000" *** *** CHANGELOG ENTRIES FOR 1999 AND EARLIER IN "ChangeLog.1999" *** ******************************************************************
