2001-09-13 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): had to adjust fix from 2001-08-06 to actually duplicate the objects in certain cases. This is really a place where feather would have been essential. [Bug #461322] * generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UtfPrev): corrected to return the proper location when the middle of a UTF-8 byte was passed in. [Bug #450504] * ChangeLog.1999: * ChangeLog: broke changes from 199x into ChangeLog.1999 to reduce size of the main ChangeLog. 2001-09-13 Andreas Kupries * tests/ioCmd.test: Changed the computation of the result for iocmd-8.1[123] so that the tests work for single- and multi-process execution of the testsuite. Depending on the choice of the user stdout is a tty or not and thus reports different channel options. Fixes [460993] reported by Don Porter. 2001-09-13 Miguel Sofer * doc/ParseCmd.3: * generic/tcl.decls: * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SubstObjCmd): * generic/tclDecls.h: * generic/tclParse.c: * generic/tclStubInit.c: * tests/parse.test: Deprecate the use of Tcl_EvalTokens, replaced by the new Tcl_EvalTokensStandard. The new function performs the same duties but adheres to the standard return convention for Tcl evaluations; the deprecated function could only return TCL_OK or TCL_ERROR, which caused [Bug: 219384] and [Bug: 455151]. This patch implements [TIP: 56]. 2001-09-12 Mo DeJong * unix/configure: Regen. * unix/tcl.m4: Invert the logic that checks for $GCC. Instead of checking for "$GCC" = "no" we check for "$GCC" != "yes" or simply swap the true and false blocks of code in an if statement. That way if GCC is set to "" everything will still work. [Bug 460991] 2001-09-12 Don Porter * tests/appendComp.test: * tests/lsearch.test: * tests/namespace.test: * tests/rename.test: * tests/split.test: Corrected tests to better isolate tests in one file from influencing tests in other files.

Remaining are the ports in all tests with constraint 'doTestsWithRemoteServer'. These seem to be designed for a more controlled environment and are usually skipped when running the testsuite. * tests/io.test: Removed all instances of hardwired port numbers for listening sockets. 2001-09-10 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclEvent.c (TclInExit): Corrected handling of tsd in late stages of finalization. [Bug #419449] (darley) * tests/stack.test: * generic/tclInterp.c (AliasObjCmd): Check the numLevels to ensure that we aren't hitting some alias loop condition. [Bug #443184] 2001-09-10 Mo DeJong * unix/configure: Regen. * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Don't include . characters in the Tcl library name when building on FreeBSD 3.X and later systems.

Thanks to Bob Techentin for report and patch. [Bug 459305] * generic/tclInitScript.h (initScript): * win/tclWinInit.c (TCL_REGISTRY_KEY, TclpSetVariables): Removed vestiges of Tcl's old initialization from registry variables. [Bug 455645] 2001-09-10 Andreas Kupries * generic/tclInt.decls: Also added 'TclWinFlushDirtyChannels' to the internal platform specific stub table. * win/tclWinFile.c (TclpObjStat): Now added the call to 'TclWinFlushDirtyChannels' to this function. I don't know where my head was last thursday (2001-09-06), but the call was actually added to 'TclpObjChdir', i.e. the implementation of [cd]. Corrected this now. Thanks to Vince Darley for spotting this. 2001-09-10 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclProc.c: * tests/proc.test: made [proc] bytecompile a no-op for procs defined with _args_ as single argument and an empty body. [FQ 451441] 2001-09-09 Mo DeJong * unix/Makefile.in: * win/Makefile.in: Use () around variable name instead of {}.

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

[Bug #452217] 2001-08-16 David Gravereaux * tools/tcl.wse.in: * tools/tcl.hpj.in: * win/tcl.hpj.in: Removed -kb storage in CVS to ensure these text files are checked-out in the translation mode CVS is in. Setting these as binary as part of an effort to make sure they are always in CRLF, no matter what the CVS translation, is bypassing how CVS works and is confusing. * tools/genStubs.tcl: Removed LF-only output. Having to reconvert back to CRLF before committing to CVS was giving me a headache.

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

Changed string compile command to compile toplevel code as well (when possible). * generic/tclCompile.c: added new instruction enums * generic/tclCompile.h: added debug info for new instructions * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): moved elemPtr to toplevel var (oft-used). Added definitions for new bytecode instructions INST_LIST_INDEX, INST_LIST_LENGTH, INST_APPEND_SCALAR1, INST_APPEND_SCALAR4, INST_APPEND_ARRAY1, INST_APPEND_ARRAY4, INST_APPEND_ARRAY_STK, INST_APPEND_STK, INST_LAPPEND_SCALAR1, INST_LAPPEND_SCALAR4, INST_LAPPEND_ARRAY1, INST_LAPPEND_ARRAY4, INST_LAPPEND_ARRAY_STK, INST_LAPPEND_STK. Refactored repititious code for reuse with INST_LOAD_STK (same as INST_LOAD_SCALAR_STK), INST_STORE_STK (same as INST_STORE_SCALAR_STK). Updated INST_STR_CMP with style of fix of 2001-04-06 Fellows [Bug #219201] as that fix only affected the runtime eval'ed "string" (string compare is normally byte-compiled now). We may want to back these out for speed in the future, noting the problems with \x00 comparisons in the docs. * generic/tclInt.h: declarations for new compile commands. * generic/tclVar.c: change TclGetIndexedScalar, TclGetElementOfIndexedArray, TclSetElementOfIndexedArray and TclSetIndexedScalar to use flags. The Set functions now support TCL_APPEND_ELEMENT and TCL_LIST_ELEMENT as well. * generic/tclInt.decls: * generic/tclIntDecls.h: minor signature changes for above. * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: made use of new Tcl_GetUnicodeFromObj. 2001-05-16 Donal K.

D'oh! 2001-05-15 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tcl.decls: * generic/tclDecls.h: * generic/tclStubInit.c: * generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_GetUnicodeFromObj): new function to parallel Tcl_GetStringFromObj (fix of an API oversight). * unix/tclUnixPipe.c: updated pipeChannelType to TCL_CHANNEL_VERSION_2 type specification. * tests/fileName.test: corrected tests not to fail on win when a C:/test dir exists. * generic/tclFileName.c (ExtractWinRoot): corrected ABR error 2001-05-15 Miguel Sofer * tests/lindex.test: added test for nested braces [Patch: 423617] 2001-05-15 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclInt.h * generic/tclNamesp.c: invalidate all bytecodes in a namespace if a new command shadows a bytecoded command. * tests/namespace.test Patched from [Bug: 231259] 2001-05-15 Donal K. Fellows * doc/console.n: Created. It seems very odd to me that the console implementation is part of the Tcl distribution and not part of Tk, but given the location of the source, the documentation must obviously match up... 2001-05-14 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): * tests/string.test (string-4.14): Negative string indices should not be added as offsets to the result of [string first] but instead be treated as referring to the start of the string.

[Bug 420186] ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for any callers of [auto_import] from outside Tcl that expect the pattern matching to be like that of [string match]. 2001-05-03 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclParse.c: * tests/namespace.test: Insure consistent behaviour of the [unknown] command: when a command is unknown, it is always processed by [::unknown], ignoring any namespace proc which happens to be called "unknown" [Patch #421166, Bug #420507] 2001-05-02 Don Porter * tools/genStubs.tcl: Add a package require of Tcl 8 at the beginning of the script so that the script will print a descriptive error message when run in an old Tcl 7 shell. 2000-04-27 Kevin Kenny * generic/tclInt.decls: * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclCmdIL.c: * generic/tclProc.c: * generic/tclVar.c: Added another collection of missing CONSTs related to TclGetNamespaceForQualName. * generic/tclIntDecls.h: Regenerated. 2000-04-25 Mo DeJong * unix/configure: Regen. * unix/tcl.m4: Subst TCL_THREADS into tclConfig.sh. * unix/tclConfig.sh.in: Add TCL_THREADS variable. * win/configure: Regen. * win/tcl.m4: Subst TCL_THREADS into tclConfig.sh. * win/tclConfig.sh.in: Add TCL_THREADS variable. 2000-04-25 Mo DeJong * unix/configure: Regen. * unix/configure.in: Use $@ in MAKE_LIB and MAKE_STUB_LIB commands instead of using a delayed subst variable. Replace instances of STUB_LIB_FILE with TCL_STUB_LIB_FILE. 2000-04-25 Mo DeJong * unix/Makefile.in: Use TCL_STUB_LIB_FILE instead of STUB_LIB_FILE. * unix/configure: Regen. * unix/configure.in: Don't subst STUB_LIB_FILE, use TCL_STUB_LIB_FILE instead. 2001-04-25 Donal K.

[Patch #415179] ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** from 8.4a2, in which Vince Darley's changes to command tracing were added. A const has been added to the type signature of one of the parameters to Tcl_CommandTraceProc. 2001-04-10 Kevin B. Kenny * unix/tclUnixTime.c: Altered code to use memcpy instead of structure assigments in an effort to achieve better K&R compatibility. 2001-04-10 Kevin B. Kenny * unix/tclUnixTime.c: Fixed silly typo in calls to 'gmtime' and 'localtime' that broke the Linux build. 2001-04-09 Kevin B. Kenny * unix/tclLoadShl.c: Added DYNAMIC_PATH to the load flags so that the SHLIB_PATH will be searched for other libraries. [Bug #219140] 2001-04-09 Kevin B. Kenny * unix/tcl.m4: Added _REENTRANT to Solaris build so that thread safe library routines are included. * unix/configure: Re-ran 'autoconf' with changed tcl.m4 * tclUnixTime.c: Modified for thread safety of 'gmtime' and 'localtime' system calls [Bugs #219136 and #232558] 2001-04-09 Donal K. Fellows * tests/expr.test (expr-21.*): Tests to check below fix. * generic/tclParseExpr.c (GetLexeme): Now recognises the non-numeric boolean literals for what they are. It no longer makes sense for anyone to create functions with the same name as one of them, but this was true in 7.* as well [Bug #217777; finally!] 2001-04-07 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclExecute.c: Avoid panic when there are extra items in the tcl stack [Bug #406709, Patch #414470] * tests/foreach.test: test to exercise the patch 2001-04-07 Miguel Sofer * doc/namespace.n: document correct functionality * generic/tclNamesp.c: corrected behaviour of [namespace code] (Bug #219385, Patch #403530) * library/init.tcl: * tests/namespace-old.test: test correct functionality * tests/namespace.test: test correct functionality 2001-04-07 Andreas Kupries * unix/Makefile.in (checkdoc): New target, checking the definitions as found in the compiled library against the manpages to find undocumented public functionality. * unix/mkLinks: Updated to include the new manpage. * doc/UniCharIsAlpha.3: New manpage documenting the Unicode character classification APIs [Bug #218720]. 2001-04-07 Andreas Kupries * unix/mkLinks: Updated to incorporate the changes below. * doc/StringObj.3: Added 'Tcl_AttemptSetObjLength' to the NAME section. [Bug #414435]. * doc/Alloc.3: Added both 'Tcl_AttemptAlloc' and 'Tcl_AttemptRealloc' to the NAME section. [Bug #414435]. * doc/Utf.3: Added both 'Tcl_UniCharCaseMatch' and 'Tcl_UniCharNcasecmp' to the NAME section. [Bug #414435]. 2001-04-06 Don Porter * library/init.tcl: * tests/init.test: Modified processing of $::errorInfo by [unknown] when the auto-loaded command throws an error to better cover the tracks of auto-loading. [Bug 219280, Patch 403551] 2001-04-06 Donal K. Fellows * doc/read.n: Added section on "USE WITH SERIAL PORTS" to resolve [Bug #219402] * tests/string.test (string-2.30): Test for this case * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd, STR_COMPARE branch): Fixed problem caused by Utf-rep of \x00 being more than Utf-rep of \x01 fooling memcmp by forcing everything through Utf-based comparisons. Added optimizations for case where objects have a string/unicode-rep or a bytearray-rep (i.e. where we can perform comparisons on fixed-size units.) [Bug #219201] * generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UtfNcmp): Corrected seriously erroneous comment. 2001-04-05 Andreas Kupries * doc/Macintosh.3: Removed duplicates from .SH line [Bug #413983]. 2001-04-05 Donal K.

(install-doc): improved install-* targets to use their base build dependency. 2001-03-30 Andreas Kupries * All of the changes below belong to TIP #10 [Tcl I/O Enhancement: Thread-Aware Channels]. See also [Patch #403358] at SF. * generic/tclIO.h (struct ChannelState, line 236f): Extended the structure with a new field of type 'Tcl_ThreadId' to hold the id of the thread currently managing all channels with this state. Note: This structure is shared by all channels in a stack of transformations. * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_CreateChannel, lines 1058-1065): Modified to store the Id of the current thread in the 'ChannelState' of the new channel. * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_SpliceChannel, lines 2265-2270): Modified in the same manner as 'Tcl_CreateChannel' as the channel will be managed by the current thread afterward. * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_GetChannelThread, lines 1478-1503): * generic/tcl.decls (Tcl_GetChannelThread, lines 1504-1506): New API function to retrieve the Id of the managing thread from a channel. Implementation and declaration. * generic/tclTest.c (TestChannelCmd, lines 4520-4532): Added subcommand 'mthread' to query a channel about its managing thread. 2001-03-29 Mo DeJong * tests/interp.test: Print out warning when testinterpdelete command is not defined. Add tests that checks to make sure a child interp inherits the parent's cwd. 2001-03-29 Jeff Hobbs * doc/tcltest.n: corrected incorrect macro usage. * doc/lsort.n: corrected unbalanced nroff macros. * unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateTempFile): prevent potential race condition and security leak in tmp filename creation.

[Bug #411388] * tests/regexp.test (regexp-19.1): * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): fixed handling of nulls in subspec value. 2001-03-26 Don Porter * generic/tclDecls.h (Tcl_InitCustomHashTable): Correction to patch from 2001-01-18; tclDecls.h was not generated using 'make genstubs'. 2001-03-26 Donal K. Fellows * win/tclWinInt.h (tclWinTCharEncoding): Removed as now a static variable in win/tclWin32Dll.c instead. 2001-03-23 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd): Corrected retrieval of resultPtr to prevent possible corruption. * generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_Import): Correctly freed a DString. (lavana) [Patch #403755] 2001-03-15 Donal K. Fellows * tests/set-old.test (set-old-7.2): Changed error behaviour of [unset] to agree with documentation, so must change test as well. 2001-03-14 Don Porter * library/package.tcl (pkg_mkIndex): Added patch from Vince Darley to make [pkg_mkIndex -verbose] even more verbose. [Bug 219349, Patch 403529] 2001-03-13 Donal K. Fellows * doc/info.n: Improved documentation for [info hostname]. [Bug #403840] * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_UnsetObjCmd): Made command behave as documented [issue remaining from bug #405769] * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): A missing {return TCL_OK;} was causing memory corruption. [Bug #408002] * generic/tclExecute.c (TclDeleteExecEnv, GrowEvaluationStack, TclExecuteByteCode): Added some casts to ClientData that are apparently needed on some architectures. 2001-03-12 Donal K. Fellows * tests/string.test: Fixed some test numberings and added a test. [Patch #403229] 2001-03-06 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_UnsetObjCmd): Rewrote argument parser to avoid a read off the end of the argument array that could occur when executing something like [unset -nocomplain] was executed. Improved the error message given when too few arguments are given (-nocomplain should obviously be *before* --, not after it) and also modified the test suite to take account of that and the documentation to use the same improvement. [Bug 405769] 2001-03-02 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Fixed bug that could pass pointers to freed memory to command implementations, which most obviously caused some weird behaviour with [info level], but could have caused problems with user code and command traces too. [Bug 404865, Patch 405436] 2001-02-23 msofer * no changes; fixing up the missing comment in the previous one. Sorry. 2001-02-23 msofer * /cvsroot/tcl/tcl/tests/execute.test: added test for evaluation of an expression in a variable; evals once by compiling, second time using the previous compilation 2001-02-18 Kevin B. Kenny * doc/clock.n: Updated documentation to reflect the addition of compat/strftime.c, including the correct formatting of ISO-8601:1988 fiscal week number (%V). 2001-02-15 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SplitObjCmd): Improved efficiency of splitting strings into individual characters by adding hash so that only one Tcl_Obj per character is created. Improves performance of splitting of short strings and makes a huge difference to splitting of long strings, such as is done in the mime package in tcllib. [Bug #131523] 2001-01-31 Don Porter * win/makefile.vc (install-libraries): Corrected misdirected install directory for the msgcat 1.2 package. 2001-01-30 Don Porter * generic/tclIO.c (CopyData): Moved code that updates the count of how many bytes are left to copy. Corrects bug that when writing occurs in the background, the copy loop could be escaped without updating the count, causing CopyData() to try to copy more bytes than the toRead value originally passed to TclCopyChannel(), leading to hangs and misreporting of number of bytes copied. [Bug 118203, Patch 103432] 2001-01-18 Andreas Kupries * Everything below belongs together, it fixes bug #123153. * generic/tcl.h (line 342): A bit more explanation about the default value for TCL_PRESERVE_BINARY_COMPATABILITY. * generic/tcl.h (line 1208): Define the macro 'Tcl_InitHashTable' only when TCL_PRESERVE_BINARY_COMPATIBILITY is not set as it kills binary compatibility to 8.3 and earlier versions. This is the main part of the patch/change. * generic/tcl.decls (line 1469): * generic/tclHash.c (Tcl_InitHashTable): * generic/tclHash.c (Tcl_InitHashTableEx): * generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_InitObjHashTable): Changed 'Tcl_InitHashTableEx' to 'Tcl_InitCustomHashTable'. This change is more of an estethical nature, replacing the ubiquitous 'Ex' suffix with a more meaningful name. The introduced binary incompatibility is deemed acceptable as it is between alpha versions. Updated callers. * doc/Hash.3: * unix/mkLinks: Changed 'Tcl_InitHashTableEx' to 'Tcl_InitCustomHashTable'. 2001-01-10 Donal K. Fellows * tests/winPipe.test (winpipe-1.20): * tests/winDde.test (createChildProcess): * tests/pkgMkIndex.test (pkgtest::createIndex): Removed assumption that paths contain no spaces which causes problems with both [eval] and [open |...] due to the well-known differences between lists and strings. Fixes bug #119406 2001-01-04 Don Porter * tests/unixInit.test: * unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): * win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): Several entries in the library path ($tcl_libPath) are determined relative to the absolute path of the executable. When the executable is installed in or near the root directory of the file system, relative pathnames were being incorrectly generated, and in the worst case, memory access violations were crashing the program. [Bug 119416, Patch 102972] 2000-12-14 Don Porter * generic/tclExecute.c: * tests/expr-old.test: Re-wrote Tcl's [expr rand()] and [expr srand($seed)] implementations, fixing a range error on some 64-bit platforms. Added tests that detect the bug. The rewrite changes the seed -> sequence map on 64-bit platforms, only for seed >= 2^31, a slight incompatibility. [Bug 121072, Patch 102781] 2000-12-10 Don Porter * library/init.tcl: * library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl: * library/msgcat/pkgIndex.tcl: * library/opt/optparse.tcl: * library/opt/pkgIndex.tcl: Where [uplevel] is used in a proc to evaluate a Tcl built-in command in the caller's context, the built-in commands are now fully namespace-qualified. This prevents problems when the caller context is in a namespace where the built-in command name has been used by a command in the namespace. (For example, [::ns::set] might be called instead of the intended [::set]). [Bug #119422, Patch #102545] 2000-12-09 jeff hobbs * win/tclWinTime.c (CalibrationThread): added lint return value to prevent compiler warning. [Bug #125005] * docs/scan.n: * tests/scan.test: * generic/tclScan.c (Tcl_ScanObjCmd): changed %o and %x to use strtoul instead of strtol to correctly preserve scan<>format conversion of large integers. [Patch #102663, Bug #124600] * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Commited patch fixing handling of {!} in expressions. [Patch #102702] 2000-12-08 jeff hobbs * library/init.tcl: Added support for PATHEXT variable in auto_execok, recognizing the proper set of executable extensions on Windows. [Patch #102719] 2000-12-08 Andreas Kupries * generic/tclEncoding.c (LoadTableEncoding): Changed dangerous code to something less critical. This fixes bug 119417, part A without affecting the speed when loading encodings. 2000-12-08 Donal K. Fellows * doc/open.n: Added xref to fconfigure and advice on the opening of binary files. Should help prevent a recurrence of bugs like #124558 2000-12-07 jeff hobbs * generic/tcl.h: added note about need to updated library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl with minor version increment. * library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl: updated to use 84 version to reflect the makefile. Should probably be updated to use its real version at some point. [Patch #102560, Bug #119421] 2000-12-06 eric melski * generic/tcl.h (attemptckalloc): Fixed typo for #define of attemptckalloc (was defined to Tcl_AttempDbCkalloc, should have been Tcl_AttemptDbCkalloc). [Bug: 124384] * generic/tclCkalloc.c: Added TCL_MEM_DEBUG versions of Tcl_AttemptDbCkrealloc and Tcl_AttemptDbCkalloc. [Bug: 124384]. 2000-11-24 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Logical negation "!" can now handle string booleans, provided those values are placed in variables. * tests/expr.test (expr-13.17): Check that [expr {!$var}] can negate the string-versions of booleans "yes", "false", etc. * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl (getMatchingFiles, getMatchingDirectories): * tools/man2html.tcl (doDir): * tools/man2help.tcl (doDir): * library/package.tcl (tclPkgUnknown,tclMacPkgSearch): * library/safe.tcl (AddSubDirs): [glob] uses -directory instead of unsafe [file join] to fix Bug #123313 * generic/tclIndexObj.c: * generic/tclTestObj.c (TestindexobjCmd): Changed internal representation of index objects to fix Bug #119082; fix shouldn't be visible to outside world... * generic/tclTest.c (TestGetIndexFromObjStructObjCmd): * tests/indexObj.test: (indexObj-6.*) Added to test for presence of Bug #119082. 2000-11-23 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd): Fixed memory leak from Bug #119398 * library/init.tcl (unknown): Added specific level parameters to all uplevel invokations to boost performance; didn't dare touch the "namespace inscope" stuff though, since it looks sensitive to me! Should fix Bug #123217, though testing is tricky... 2000-11-21 Andreas Kupries * All of the changes below are described in TIP #7 ~ Specification and result from the application of the patch contained therein. Creator of the patch is Kevin Kenny . The patch used here is actually a bit different. Two MS specific constant values (format FOOui64) were replaced with a more portable formatting of the values and an additional cast to LONGLONG. My cross-compiling gcc was unable to process the original form. The SF Id of the patch is 102459. * tclWinTime.c: Add to the static data a set of variables that manage the phase-locked techniques, including a ''CRITICAL_SECTION'' to guard them so that multi-threaded code is stable. * tclWinTime.c: Modify ''TclpGetSeconds'' to call ''TclpGetTime'' and return the 'seconds' portion of the result. This change is necessary to make sure that the two times are consistent near the rollover from one second to another. * tclWinTime.c: Modify ''TclpGetClicks'' to use TclpGetTime to determine the click count as a number of microseconds. * tclWinTime.c: Modify ''TclpGetTime'' to return the time as M*Q+B, where Q is the result of ''QueryPerformanceCounter'', and M and B are variables maintained by the phase-locked loop to keep the result as close as possible to the system clock. The ''TclpGetTime'' call will also launch the phase-lock management in a separate thread the first time that it is invoked. If the performance counter is unavailable, or if its frequency is not one of the two common 8254-compatible rates, then ''TclpGetTime'' will return the result of ''ftime'' as it does in Tcl 8.3.2. * tclWinTime.c: Add the clock calibration procedure. The calibration is somewhat complex; to save space, the reader is referred to the reference implementation for the details of how the time base and frequency are maintained. * tclWinNotify.c: Modify ''Tcl_Sleep'' to test that the process has, in fact, slept for the requisite time by calling ''TclpGetTime'' and comparing with the desired time. Otherwise, roundoff errors may cause the process to awaken early. * tclWinTest.c: Add a ''testwinclock'' command. This command returns a four element list comprising the seconds and microseconds portions of the system clock and the seconds and microseconds portions of the Tcl clock. * winTime.test: Add to the test suite a test that makes sure that the Tcl clock stays within 1.1 ms of the system clock over the duration of the test. 2000-11-21 Donal K. Fellows * doc/global.n: * doc/upvar.n: * doc/variable.n: Improved documentation to mention that variables so created are listed in [info locals] and added a few more cross-links between these commands. Fixes bug #119387 2000-11-17 Donal K. Fellows * tests/safe.test: (safe-4.3): * generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupVar): Changed again. Now passes all the tests, though one needed modifying since it required the wrong answer. (Why on earth do we have inline modification of argument strings? This sort of thing is horrendous to debug and doesn't work well in a multithreaded environment!) Fixes bug 119192. * tests/var.test: (var-1.19) If my attempts to fix the problem aren't right yet, my attempts to describe it look pretty good to me... 2000-11-16 Andreas Kupries * win/tclWinPort.h (line 69): Changed reference to winsock2.h into winsock.h. This was a leftover from a foray into using winsock version 2 (History lesson from Scott Redman and Jeff Hobbs). This code was no problem when compiling Tcl itself, but could trip extensions. Fixes bug 122568. 2000-11-15 jeff hobbs * unix/Makefile.in: removed bp.c references (hasn't existed in a long time). Corrected 'make dist' to make dist with unversioned library directories (same as out of cvs), so make install works correctly with either source tree. 2000-11-15 jeff hobbs * generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupVar): reverted fix below as it broke all other array unset error reporting. Bug-119192 is still open. 2000-11-15 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupVar): Changed references to part2 to use elName instead in various error message generating spots, so as to fix Bug-119192. 2000-11-03 David Gravereaux * win/.cvsignore: Removed 'configure' from the glob list now that it's included. 2000-11-03 Jeff Hobbs 8.4a2 RELEASE * unix/Makefile.in (install-libraries, dist): * win/makefile.vc (install-libraries): * win/Makefile.in (install-libraries): updated to install unversioned library directories into versioned directories. * tools/tcl.wse.in: updated for unversioning of library dirs * unix/mkLinks: updated mkLinks with latest doc updates * doc/Tcl_Main.3: added docs for Tcl_SetMainLoop * generic/tclStubInit.c: * generic/tclDecls.h: * generic/tcl.decls: added Tcl_SetMainLoop proc that allows people to set a main loop that will run for tclsh. * generic/tcl.h: added Tcl_MainLoopProc typedef * generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_SetMainLoop, StdinProc, Prompt): new StdinProc and Prompt static procs and Tcl_SetMainLoop stubs proc. The first two handle a fileevent based prompt (taken from tkMain.c). Tcl_SetMainLoop enables the interactive setting of a main loop procedure. This enables Tk to be a loadable package. 2000-11-02 David Gravereaux * generic/tclEvent.c: tclLibraryPath Tcl_Obj didn't have a way to share its data among threads. This caused Tcl_Init() to always fail in threads. Added a way to pass the data around with a global char*. [BUG: 5301] 2000-11-02 Jeff Hobbs * unix/configure: * unix/dltest/configure: * win/configure: * tools/configure: checked in configure scripts so people doing CVS checkouts aren't required to have autoconf. Changes to configure.in in the future will require the corresponding configure script to also be re-autoconf'ed and checked in. * win/makefile.vc: * win/tcl.m4: makefile fixes for Win64 support * generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct): minor cast changes. 2000-11-01 Jeff Hobbs * unix/tcl.m4: removed use of -lbsd and -ldl for AIX-5. * tests/subst.test: added tests for non-zero return code handling by subst. * generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_EvalEx): corrected handling of non-zero, non-error return code cases for subst. [BUG: 119829] * generic/tclVar.c (TclVarTraceExists): Corrected excessive mem use when info exists was called on a non-existent array element. [BUG: 119213, 119336] 2000-10-30 David Gravereaux * win/configure.in: * win/Makefile.in: * win/makefile.vc: * win/tcl.rc: * win/tclsh.rc: Added logic to derive filenames better in the resource scripts based on compile options. 2000-10-30 Jeff Hobbs * unix/tclUnixInit.c: added default encoding map from "ja_JP.eucJP" to "euc-jp". (takahashi) * tests/clock.test: corrected clock-2.* test numbering * unix/configure.in (SC_TCL_LINK_LIBS): removed code that was commented out (it had been moved to tcl.m4's SC_TCL_LINK_LIBS already). * unix/tcl.m4: consolidated gettimeofday check for AIX. 2000-10-27 Jeff Hobbs * unix/configure.in: * unix/tcl.m4: added support for AIX-5. * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_NotifyChannel): removed #ifdef around code for old channel structures, placed preserve/release around statePtr * generic/tclIO.c (CloseChannel): the statePtr for a channel was not being freed when the last channel in a stack was freed, causing a mem leak. * unix/tclUnixChan.c: updated channel types to strict TCL_CHANNEL_VERSION_2 style to avoid compiler warnings. They work either way, but this avoids compiler warnings (that worries people). 2000-10-27 Jennifer Hom * library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Removed a cd into the test directory in runAllTests that screwed up the temporary directory setting, effectively preventing users from running tests on multiple platforms at the same time. 2000-10-26 David Gravereaux * win/tclWinFile.c (TclpMatchFilesTypes): NULL was being set to "attr" which was a DWORD. Changed NULL to zero because a 'void *' can't be set to a DWORD to avoid the compiler warning. 2000-10-24 Jennifer Hom * tests/all.tcl: Removed support for tcltest 1.0. * tests/tcltest.test: * library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: * library/tcltest1.0/pkgIndex.tcl: * docs/tcltest.n: Moved tcltest2 code so that it's the standard version of tcltest. Removed all tcltest2 files (tests/tcltest2.test, library/tcltest1.0/tcltest2.tcl, docs/tcltest2.n). 2000-10-20 Jeff Hobbs * win/tclWinFile.c (TclpMatchFilesTypes): made the stat call only occur when necessary (for 'glob' command). Significantly speeds up glob command from 8.3. [BUG: 6216] 2000-10-19 Jennifer Hom * library/tcltest1.0/tcltest2.tcl: * tests/tcltest2 * doc/tcltest2.n: Code and documentation cleanup. Modified -verbose to take list of keywords as well as string of letters. Removed Tcl version information from tcltest. Removed tcltest::grep from tcltest package. Added optional 3rd directory argument to makeFile/makeDirectory and removeFile/removeDirectory. * tests/basic.test: Changed references to tcltest::tclVersion to hardcoded numbers. * generic/tcl.h: Changed reference to tcltest2.tcl and tcltest.tcl in comments to tests/basic.test. 2000-10-06 David Gravereaux * win/tclWinChan.c: moved Win2K bug case test with GetStdHandle() from TclpGetDefaultStdChannel into Tcl_MakeFileChannel to enable a more general method in detecting invalid OS handles rather than just a specific known case. [BUG: 5971] 2000-10-06 Jeff Hobbs * tests/cmdAH.test: extra tests for 'file channels' that include multiple interpreter tests and channel sharing * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_GetChannelNamesEx): corrected function (and consequently 'file channels') to return channels that are actually registered for this specific interp, rather than this thread. * doc/CrtChannel.3: fixed spelling mistakes 2000-09-29 Jennifer Hom * library/tcltest1.0/tcltest2.tcl: * tests/tcltest2.test: * doc/tcltest2.n: Modified the new form of the test command to accept both attribute-value pairs and command line options. Updated the tests and the documentation for this new format. Also changed the option names for the test command. 2000-09-29 Jeff Hobbs * win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialGetOptionProc): corrected reporting of space parity on Windows (Eason) [Bug 6057]. * win/Makefile.in: commented use of TESTFLAGS * unix/Makefile.in: added TESTFLAGS to test target to conform with Windows makefile and TEA style. * tests/stack.test: prevented possible crash on systems with low default stacksize (Tru64, AIX) in infinite recursion test. A solution to check remaining stack space in the core is best, but hard to do in a cross-platform manner. * generic/tclIOGT.c (FLUSH_DELAY): renamed DELAY define to FLUSH_DELAY to avoid defn conflict using Tru64's cc. 2000-09-28 Jeff Hobbs * tools/tcl.wse.in: added tclPlatDecls.h and tkPlatDecls.h to the Windows .exe install. * tests/fCmd.test (fCmd-6.20): corrected test to remove c:/tcl8975@ after creating it. * tests/fileName.test: cleaned up the testing of glob patterns for c:/globTest (Windows) to directly create/remove directory. 2000-09-27 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tcl.decls: * generic/tclIO.c: updated Tcl_IsChannelShared, Tcl_IsChannelRegistered, Tcl_CutChannel, Tcl_SpliceChannel, Tcl_IsChannelExisting, and Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers to conform to the new stacked channel implementation. Their stub slots were also moved to give preference to the new 8.3.2 stub functions. This will cause an incompatability with 8.4a1 only. (StopCopy): fixed a bug introduced by a partial fix in 8.3.2 that didn't set nonBlocking correctly when resetting the flags for the write side. [Bug: 6261] * doc/ChnlStack.3: * doc/CrtChannel.3: * generic/tcl.decls: * generic/tcl.h: * generic/tclDecls.h: * generic/tclIO.c: * generic/tclIO.h: * generic/tclIOGT.c: * generic/tclInt.decls: * generic/tclIntDecls.h: * generic/tclStubInit.c: * generic/tclTest.c: * tests/iogt.test: * unix/Makefile.in: * win/Makefile.in: * win/makefile.vc: * win/tclConfig.sh.in: * win/tclWinChan.c: * win/tclWinConsole.c: * win/tclWinPipe.c: * win/tclWinSerial.c: * win/tclWinSock.c: Up-port of changes made in 8.3.2 to 8.4a2 code base. Most of these changes relate to the rewrite of the stacked channel implementation, with a few config related fixes. Following is an asynchronous include of the applicable ChangeLog entries from 8.3.2. ******************************************************** ** START OF ASYNCHRONOUS UP-PORT LOG (8.3.2 -> 8.4a2) ** ******************************************************** 2000-08-07 Jeff Hobbs * doc/ChnlStack.3: * doc/CrtChannel.3: updated the docs to be aware of the TCL_CHANNEL_VERSION_2 style of Tcl channels. * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_CreateChannel): added assertion to verify that the new channel versioning will be binary compatible with older channel drivers. 2000-08-05 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclIOGT.c (TclChannelTransform): fixed segfault that would occur when transforming a channel with a proc that did not yet exist. (Kupries) * generic/tclTest.c (TestChannelCmd): added some lint init'ing of statePtr and chan vars. 2000-07-26 Jeff Hobbs * merged core-8-3-1-io-rewrite back into core-8-3-1-branch. The core-8-3-1-io-rewrite branch should now be considered defunct. * generic/tclStubInit.c: * generic/tclDecls.h: * generic/tcl.decls: * generic/tcl.h: * generic/tclIO.c: moved the Tcl_Channel* macros from tcl.h to tclIO.c and made them proper stubbed functions. These are: Tcl_ChannelName, Tcl_ChannelVersion, Tcl_ChannelBlockModeProc, Tcl_ChannelCloseProc, Tcl_ChannelClose2Proc, Tcl_ChannelInputProc, Tcl_ChannelOutputProc, Tcl_ChannelSeekProc, Tcl_ChannelSetOptionProc, Tcl_ChannelGetOptionProc, Tcl_ChannelWatchProc, Tcl_ChannelGetHandleProc, Tcl_ChannelFlushProc, and Tcl_ChannelHandlerProc. These should be used to access the Tcl_ChannelType structure instead of direct pointer dereferencing. * tests/iogt.test: added RCS string, marked tests 2.* to be unixOnly due to underlying system differences. 2000-07-25 Andreas Kupries * tests/iogt.test: (line 866f) New tests iogt-6.[01], highlighting buffering trouble when stacking and unstacking transformations. iogt-6.0 is solved, see the changes below. iogt-6.1 remains, for now, due to the perceived complexity of solutions. * generic/tclIO.h: (line 139f) struct Channel, added a buffer queue, to hold data pushed back when stacking a transformation. * generic/tclIO.c: (line 91f, line 7434f) New internal function 'CopyBuffer'. Derived from 'CopyAndTranslateBuffer', with translation removed. (line 1025f, line 1212f): Initialization of new queue. (line 1164f, Tcl_StackChannel): Pushback of input queue. (line 1293f, Tcl_UnstackChannel): Discard input and pushback. (line 3748f, Tcl_ReadRaw): Modified to use data in the push back area before going to the driver. Uses 'CopyBuffer', s.a. (line 4702f, GetInput): Modified to use data in the push back area before going to the driver. (line 4867f, Tcl_Seek): Modified to take pushback of the topmost channel in a stack into account. (line 5620f, Tcl_InputBuffered): See above. Added 'Tcl_ChannelBuffered'. Analogue to 'Tcl_InputBuffered' but for the buffer area in the channel. * generic/tcl.decls: New public API 'Tcl_ChannelBuffered'. S.a. 2000-07-17 Jeff Hobbs * unix/Makefile.in: * win/Makefile.in: * win/makefile.vc: added tclIOGT.c to objects list to compile. * generic/tclStubInit.c: * generic/tclIntDecls.h: * generic/tclInt.decls: commented out internal decls for TclTestChannelCmd and TclTestChannelEventCmd as they were moved to tclTest.c. Added new decls for TclChannelEventScriptInvoker and TclChannelTransform. * generic/tclIO.c (CloseChannel): stopped masking out of the TCL_READABLE|TCL_WRITABLE bits from the state flags in CloseChannel, instead adding extra intelligence to CheckChannelErrors with a new CHANNEL_RAW_MODE bit for special behavior when called from Raw channel APIs. 2000-07-13 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclIO.c (StackSetBlockMode): moved set of chanPtr outside of blockModeProc check to avoid infinite loop when blockModeProc was NULL (Kupries). updated TransformSeekProc to not call Tcl_Seek directly (Kupries). * win/tclWinChan.c: updated fileChannelType to v2 channel struct * win/tclWinConsole.c: updated consoleChannelType to v2 channel struct * win/tclWinPipe.c: updated pipeChannelType to v2 channel struct * win/tclWinSerial.c: updated serialChannelType to v2 channel struct * win/tclWinSock.c: updated tcpChannelType to v2 channel struct 2000-07-11 Brent Welch * win/tclConfig.sh.in (TCL_LIBS): Cleaned up unix-specific autoconf variables. 2000-07-11 Jeff Hobbs * tests/iogt.test: made tests [345].0 not run by default as they were failing in the new design, but I'm not convinced that the returned result isn't correct. * generic/tclDecls.h: * generic/tclStubInit.c: * generic/tcl.decls: added Tcl_GetTopChannel C API that returns the current top channel of a channel stack. Tcl_GetChannel was changed earlier to return the bottommost channel of a stack because that is the one that is guaranteed to stay around the longest, and this was needed to compensate for certain operations that want to look at the state of the main channel. Most channel APIs already compensate for grabbing the top, so it shouldn't be needed often. * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_StackChannel, Tcl_UnstackChannel): Added flushing of buffers (Kupries), removed use of DownChannel macro, added Tcl_GetTopChannel public API to get to the top channel of the channel stack (necessary for TLS). Rewrote Tcl_NotifyChannel for new channel design (Kupries). Did some code cleanup in the transform code. tclIO.c must still be broken into bits (separate out test code and giot code, create tclIO.h). 2000-07-10 Andreas Kupries * tests/iogt.test: Reverted some earlier changes as a fix by Jeff revived the original and correct behaviour. IOW, the tests showed a genuine error and I didn't see it :(. * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Read|Write_Raw): Changed to directly use the drivers and not DoRead|DoWrite. The latter use the buffering system, encoding and eol-translation and this wreaks havoc with the data going through the transformations. Both procedures use CheckForchannelErrors and let it believe that there is no background copy in progress or else stacked channels could not be used for that. * generic/tclIO.c (TclCopyChannel, CopyData): Moved access to the topmost channel from the first to the second procedure to make the decision about that at the last possible time (Callbacks can change the stacking). test suite: failures of iogt-[345].0 2000-07-06 Jeff Hobbs * tests/iogt.test: new tests for stacked channel stuff based off new 'testchannel transform|unstack' code (Kupries IOGT extension). * generic/tcl.decls: * generic/tcl.h: * generic/tclDecls.h: * generic/tclStubsInit.c: * generic/tclIO.c: complete rewrite of Tcl Channel code for stacked channels. Channels are now designed to work in a more stacked fashion with a shared ChannelState data structure. 2000-06-02 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclIO.c (CloseChannel): removed the &ing out of (TCL_READABLE|TCL_WRITABLE) from the flags, as CloseChannel does this on the next pass through for the top channel, and it appeared to be causing hangs by not allowing the final flush. 2000-06-01 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclIO.c (CloseChannel): Rewrote CloseChannel code to unstack a channel during the close process. Fixed a refcount bug in Tcl_UnstackChannel. [Bug: 5623] (CloseChannel): further extended CloseChannel in the stacked case to effect certain operations on the next channel that would have been done in Tcl_Close. Also added CHANNEL_CLOSED and removed (TCL_READABLE|TCL_WRITABLE) bits from chanPtr->flags. Changed final reset of the WatchProc to check the chanDownPtr's (next) interestMask. ****************************************************** ** END OF ASYNCHRONOUS UP-PORT LOG (8.3.2 -> 8.4a2) ** ****************************************************** 2000-09-20 Jeff Hobbs * tests/socket.test: removed doTestsWithRemoteServer constraint from socket-12.*. It requires 'exec', not a remote server. Cleaned up some coding errors. 2000-09-20 Jennifer Hom * library/tcltest1.0/pkgIndex.tcl: Updated to load tcltest 2.0. * library/tcltest1.0/tcltest2.tcl: New version of tcltest. Cleanup of command line parsing: allows users to specify command line arguments through an environment variable named TCLTEST_OPTIONS [RFE: 3748], does not respond to incorrect arguments, and forces usage of entire flag name when using command line arguments. Defines accessor procs for all tcltest variables. Allows users to use 'return' in test scripts. Allow users to specify whether test files should be sourced or run in a separate process. 'all.tcl' code moved to tcltest package. 'test' proc modified to use attribute-value pairs. Allow users to specify what return codes, output, and errors can be compared and whether these values should be compared using regexp, glob, or exact matching. makeDirectory & removeDirectory now operate with respect to temporaryDirectory [Bug: 6001]. Test results from tests run in slave interpreters are now included in test totals [Bug: 1493]. Test files that return error values are now reported. * tests/all.tcl: Added code to check for the tcltest version loaded; modified to figure out which tests to run based on the tcltest version loaded. * tests/tcltest.test: Modified to explicitly load version 1.0 of tcltest. * tests/tcltest2.test: New test suite for tcltest; includes all of the old tests plus new ones reflecting changes made for version 2.0. * tests/cmdAH.test: Added singleTestInterp constraint to cmdAH-31.2; this test does not run if tests aren't sourced into a single interpreter. * tests/socket.test: Fixed two tests that were referencing variables outside of scope. * tools/tcl.wse.in: Added code to install tcltest2.tcl. * doc/tcltest2.n: New documentation for tcltest version 2.0. Removes documentation for tcltest namespace variables. Adds documentation for new tcltest procs. * unix/mkLinks: Added code to link to tcltest2.n. * generic/tcl.h: Added comment to modify tcltest2.tcl as well as tcltest.tcl for version changes. 2000-09-19 Eric Melski * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegexpObjCmd): When using -all, all attempts after the first to match the regexp against the string should include the TCL_REG_NOTBOL flag, to avoid erroneously matching ^ in the middle of the string. Added code to set this flag after the first pass through the matching loop. [Bug: 6284]. 2000-09-19 David Gravereaux * doc/Eval.3: Added a note about the script argument to Tcl_Eval() should be in UTF-8 or risk implied conversion errors when possible combinations of upper ascii can be valid UTF-8 special codes. 2000-09-17 Eric Melski * tests/cmdIL.test: Added a test for fix for [Bug: 6212]. * generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd): Applied patch from [Bug: 6212], which corrected an error in the handling of the -index option. 2000-09-14 Eric Melski * doc/Alloc.3: Added entries for Tcl_AttemptAlloc, Tcl_AttempRealloc. * doc/StringObj.3: Added entry for Tcl_AttemptSetObjLength. * generic/tclDecls.h: * generic/tclStubInit.c: Regen'ed stubs files from new tcl.decls. * generic/tcl.decls: Added stubs for the Tcl_Attempt* memory allocators and for Tcl_AttemptSetObjLength. * generic/tcl.h: Added #define's for attemptckalloc, attemptckrealloc, which map to the Tcl_Attempt* memory allocators. * generic/tclCkalloc.c: Added non-panic'ing versions of Tcl_Alloc, Tcl_Realloc, etc.; these are called Tcl_AttemptAlloc, Tcl_AttemptRealloc, etc. These are used by Tcl_AttemptSetObjLength and the string obj append functions. * generic/tclStringObj.c: Modified string growth algorithm to use doubling algorithm as long as possible, and only fall back when that fails. Added Tcl_AttemptSetObjLength, and modified AppendUnicodeToUnicodeRep, AppendUtfToUtfRep, and Tcl_AppendStringsToObjVA to support this. 2000-09-07 David Gravereaux * win/.cvsignore: changed the glob patterns a bit to exclude VC++ project conversion backups. * win/tclWinPipe.c: Stage-1 bug fix for TR#2460 "exec leaks memory". Added more logic around the close-down of the pipe reader thread so as to avoid, at all cost, a TerminateThread. Most cases with exec are fixed, but I don't consider 2460 done yet. Closing down the read side of a pipe before the child process, doesn't really fit the windows model. [BUG: 2460] 2000-09-07 Jeff Hobbs * doc/trace.n: minor doc cleanup 2000-09-06 André Pönitz * doc/*.n: added or changed "SEE ALSO:" section 2000-09-06 Jeff Hobbs * win/tclWinLoad.c (TclpLoadFile): added special message for ERROR_PROC_NOT_FOUND exception in loading a dll. * win/tclWinError.c: changed ERROR_PROC_NOT_FOUND to map from ESRCH (POSIX: no such process) to EINVAL because there is no good mapping for "procedure not found". * README: * generic/tcl.h: * library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: * tools/tcl.wse.in: * tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: * unix/configure.in: * unix/tcl.spec: * win/README.binary: * win/configure.in: updated patchlevel to 8.4a2 * unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess): Removed WNOHANG from Tcl_WaitPid call in error case of process creation on Unix, as it would lead to defunct processes. [Bug: 6148] * tests/string.test: extended string repeat tests * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): changed STR_REPEAT to preallocate the full space of the final string, avoided repeated appends. * doc/source.n: * doc/Eval.3: added extra note about how to safe use ^Z in code, as it is now a cross-platform (was just Windows) EOF char. 2000-09-05 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclHash.c: fixed pedantic warning of incorrectly placed #endif * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): INST_STR_INDEX fixed pedantic cast warning. Corrected support for building with -DTCL_COMPILE_STATS. Added efficiency check of object equality. 2000-08-29 Eric Melski * generic/tclStringObj.c: Applied patch from Gerhard Hintermayer to provide a more conservative string growth algorithm for strings larger than one megabyte; this allows more efficient use of memory for very large strings. 2000-08-25 Eric Melski * tests/trace.test: Extended array tracing tests. * doc/trace.n: Clarified information about when array traces will be fired. * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd): Corrected call to CallTraces (for TCL_TRACE_ARRAY) to only be called when the variable is either an array or is undefined, to ensure that array traces do not fire for scalar variables. 2000-08-24 Eric Melski * doc/man.macros: Tweaked tab settings for .SO (Standard Options) sections, based on suggestion from Peter Spjuth. 2000-08-24 Mo DeJong * unix/README: Update to account for removal of --enable-gcc. * unix/configure.in: * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_GCC): Remove --enable-gcc option. * win/README: Add note about building with Cygwin. * win/configure.in: * win/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_GCC): Remove --enable-gcc option. Remove quick hack that provided cross compile support for windows builds. 2000-08-24 Eric Melski Overall change: Added support for command rename/delete traces and new trace syntax, from patch from Vince Darley. Added support for array traces for variables. [RFE: 5048, 5967]. * doc/trace.n: Updated documentation for new syntax; flagged old syntax as deprecated; added documentation for command rename/delete traces and variable array traces. * tests/trace.test: Updated tests for new trace syntax; new tests for command rename/delete traces; new tests for array traces. * generic/tclVar.c: Support for new trace syntax; support for TCL_TRACE_ARRAY. * generic/tclStubInit.c: * generic/tclDecls.h: * generic/tcl.decls: Stub functions for command rename/delete traces. * generic/tcl.h: * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclBasic.c: Support for command traces. * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclTraceVariableObjCmd): Patched to support new [trace] syntax: trace {add|remove|list} {variable|command} name ops command Added support for command traces (rename, delete operations). Added support for TCL_TRACE_ARRAY at Tcl level (array operation for variable traces). 2000-08-20 Eric Melski * generic/tclVar.c: Added check for non-arrays for [array statistics] command (patch from Mark Patton). 2000-08-19 David Gravereaux * generic/tclPlatDecls.h: without a previous '#include ', tclPlatDecls.h can't be parsed due to a missing definition of TCHAR. Added a check to include it when not defined. ***POSSIBLE OBSCURE BUG*** could be caused when the compile flags for the core happen to be different than a project who uses these publics regarding -D_MBCS and -D_UNICODE. This added check might have to be revisited later with a better understanding of the reprocusions. I think TCHAR should be replaced with it's expansion. 2000-08-18 David Gravereaux * win/.cvsignore (added): provides a cleaner build environment with graphical CVS clients. 2000-08-15 Eric Melski * library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Set debug level in tcltest::restoreState to 2, for consistancy with the debug level in tcltest::saveState [Bug: 4505]. 2000-08-14 Eric Melski * win/makefile.vc: * win/Makefile.in: * unix/Makefile.in: Added tclPlatDecls.h to the list of installed headers, for more complete stubs support. [Bug: 5241]. * generic/tcl.h: Added #include "tclPlatDecls.h" to get platform-specific stubs declarations (Tcl_WinTCharToUtf, etc) [Bug: 5241]. * README: Updated link for instructions on compiling Tcl from sources to point to correct location (http://dev.scriptics.com/doc/... instead of http://dev.scriptics.com/support/...). 2000-08-11 Eric Melski * generic/tclEnv.c (TclUnsetEnv): Changed declaration of length variable from "unsigned int" to "int", to match usage when passed to TclpFindVariable [Bug: 6126]. 2000-08-10 Eric Melski * library/msgcat1.0/pkgIndex.tcl: Bumped version number to 1.2 [Bug: 6100]. * library/msgcat1.0/msgcat.tcl: Removed erroneous [package forget] in msgcat namespace initializer. Bumped version number to 1.2 [Bug: 6100]. 2000-08-10 David Gravereaux * generic/tclObj.c: r1.15 accidentally changed a global mutex name tclObjMutex to ObjMutex. Put the correct name back. 2000-08-07 Eric Melski * tests/indexObj.test: Added tests using the [testwrongnumargs] command to test Tcl_WrongNumArgs. * generic/tclTest.c (TestWrongNumArgsObjCmd): Added test function for the Tcl_WrongNumArgs function. * generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_WrongNumArgs): Corrected algorithm to not insert a space before the message component when objc == 0 [Bug: 6078]. 2000-07-27 Mo DeJong * win/configure.in: TCL_STUB_LIB_FLAG should not include ${TCL_DBGX} in win/tclConfig.sh, fix that. 2000-07-25 David Gravereaux * doc/Async.3: * generic/tclAsync.c: * generic/tclInt.decls: * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: * generic/tclStubInit.c: * generic/tclTest.c: * mac/tclMacPort.h: * unix/tclUnixPort.h: * win/tclWinInit.c: Thread-safe rewrite for tclAsync.c. Added notifier alerting on all platforms as it was only working on Win before. Removed older Win hacks that would end-up waking the wrong notifier in the presence of a threaded build. All tests pass as before. New test cases will be added soon for the new behavior. [BUG: 5791] 2000-07-25 Eric Melski * generic/tclVar.c (CallTraces): Added check for VAR_TRACE_ACTIVE on the array containing the variable before executing traces on that array, to conform with normal variable traces and the documentation, which states that while executing a trace, other traces on that variable are disabled. [Bug: 6049]. * win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Added Tcl_DStringFree call to prevent potential memory leaks [Bug: 6041]. 2000-07-24 Eric Melski * doc/msgcat.n: Added documentation about the selection of the default locale on Windows. 2000-07-23 Joe English * doc/AddErrInfo.3: * doc/ChnlStack.3: * doc/Exit.3: * doc/GetIndex.3: * doc/Notifier.3: * doc/Object.3: * doc/RegExp.3: * doc/SetResult.3: * doc/SplitList.3: * doc/Thread.3: Added missing entries to NAME section. * doc/AddErrInfo.3: * doc/CrtObjCmd.3: * doc/RecEvalObj.3: Changed Tcl_EvalObj to Tcl_EvalObjEx 2000-07-21 Eric Melski * generic/tclStubInit.c: * generic/tclObj.c: * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclHash.c: * generic/tclDecls.h: * generic/tcl.h: * generic/tcl.decls: * doc/Hash.3: Reapplied patch from Paul Duffin to extend hash tables to allow custom key types, such as Tcl_Obj *'s, and others. * doc/binary.n: Noted that the example in the introduction assumes a 32-bit system [Bug: 6035]. 2000-07-21 Mo DeJong * win/configure.in: Define ${prefix} and ${exec_prefix} like unix/configure.in. Fix or add TCL_SRC_DIR, TCL_STUB_LIB_FILE, TCL_STUB_LIB_FLAG, TCL_BUILD_STUB_LIB_SPEC, TCL_STUB_LIB_SPEC, TCL_BUILD_STUB_LIB_PATH, TCL_STUB_LIB_PATH. 2000-07-20 Eric Melski * generic/tclStubInit.c: * generic/tclObj.c: * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclHash.c: * generic/tclDecls.h: * generic/tcl.h: * generic/tcl.decls: * doc/Hash.3: Reverted patch from Paul Duffin to extend hash tables to allow custom key types, such as Tcl_Obj *'s, and others; it seems to break Tk. 2000-07-19 Eric Melski * generic/tclStubInit.c: * generic/tclObj.c: * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclHash.c: * generic/tclDecls.h: * generic/tcl.h: * generic/tcl.decls: * doc/Hash.3: Applied patch from Paul Duffin to extend hash tables to allow custom key types, such as Tcl_Obj *'s, and others. * tests/pkgMkIndex.test: Added tests for pkg_compareExtension. * library/package.tcl: Enhanced pkg_compareExtension to handle Unixes which tack the version number on to the end of library names (eg, foo.so.1.2); such filenames will be correctly matched. (Patch from Vince Darley). * win/makefile.vc: Applied patch from Don Porter to provide better nmake support for NT/Alpha [RFE: 5938]. 2000-07-18 Mo DeJong * unix/configure.in: * unix/tcl.m4: * win/tcl.m4: Properly quote arguments to m4 macros. This allows Tcl to work with the new version of autoconf. 2000-07-18 Eric Melski * tests/opt.test: Removed references to Lfirst, Lrest functions. * library/opt0.4/optparse.tcl: Applied patch from Chris Nelson, which replaces the [Lfirst] function with an inline [lindex ... 0] and [Lrest] with [lrange ... 1 end], for better performance. [RFE: 6019] 2000-07-18 Eric Melski * compat/string.h: Fixed function prototypes for strpbrk and strtok [Bug: 6020]. 2000-07-17 David Gravereaux * win/tclWinChan.c: Win2K OS bug with GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE) giving the wrong answer. This made TclpGetDefaultStdChannel grab what it thought was a valid native stdout handle. Added a new WriteFile() test to make sure it's really valid. This OS bug doesn't affect the shells. Only -subsystem:windows (aka WinMain) application that dynamically load tclXX.dll [BUG: 5971] 2000-07-17 Eric Melski * library/msgcat1.0/msgcat.tcl: * doc/msgcat.n: * tests/msgcat.test: Applied patches from Chris Nelson, to provide the mcmset function, which allows the translator to set multiple string translations in a single function call, rather than requiring many calls to mcset. [RFE: 6000, 5993]. In addition, these patches correct mcload to use utf-8 encoding on when reading message catalog files, and provides for better default behavior for determining the locale on a Windows system. 2000-07-17 Mo DeJong * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_GCC): Don't set CC=gcc before running AC_PROG_CC if CC is already set. 2000-07-13 André Pönitz * doc/lappend.n: * doc/lindex.n: * doc/linsert.n: * doc/list.n: * doc/llength.n: * doc/lrange.n: * doc/lreplace.n: * doc/lsearch.n: * doc/lsort.n: Added SEE ALSO sections. 2000-07-07 Mo DeJong * win/configure.in: Fix definition of TCL_SRC_DIR so that it matches the Unix version. * win/tclConfig.sh.in: Removed duplicate variables. 2000-07-06 Eric Melski * tests/msgcat.test: * library/msgcat1.0/msgcat.tcl: Applied patch from Christian Krone, to provide extended args support for msgcat::unknown, which is used for strings without a known translation in the current locale [Bug: 5984]. 2000-06-29 Eric Melski * doc/msgcat.n: Doc's for mcmax function. * library/msgcat1.0/msgcat.tcl: Applied patches from Laurent Duperval, to add mcmax function, which computes the length of the longest of several translated strings. Bumped version number to 1.1. 2000-06-27 Eric Melski * tests/stringObj.test: Tweaked tests to avoid hardcoded high-ASCII characters (which will fail in multibyte locales); instead used \uXXXX syntax. [Bug: 3842]. 2000-06-26 Eric Melski * doc/package.n: Corrected information about [package forget] arguments [Bug: 5418]. 2000-06-23 Eric Melski * doc/Hash.3: Added documentation patch for Tcl_Obj *'s as keys in Tcl hash tables [RFE: 5934]. * generic/tcl.h: * generic/tclHash.c: Applied patch from [RFE: 5934], which extends Tcl hash tables to allow Tcl_Obj *'s as the key. 2000-06-20 Eric Melski * tests/opt.test: * library/opt0.4/optparse.tcl: Applied patch from [Bug: 5922], which corrected an incorrect use of [string match]. * unix/tclConfig.sh.in: * win/tclConfig.sh.in: Applied patch from [Bug: 5921], which corrects a typo in the comments in these files. 2000-06-19 Eric Melski * doc/RegExp.3: Replaced instances of "Tcl_GetRegExpInfo" with "Tcl_RegExpGetInfo", the correct name of the function [Bug: 5901]. 2000-06-13 Eric Melski * win/tcl.m4: * win/configure.in: * win/Makefile.in: Applied patch from [RFE: 5844], to extend support for mingw compile environment on Windows. * win/tclWinDde.c: * win/tclWinInit.c: * win/tclWinNotify.c: * win/tclWinPipe.c: * win/tclWinReg.c: * win/tclWinThrd.c: Applied patch from [Bug: 5794], to fix compiler warnings when using mingw on Windows. 2000-05-31 Jeff Hobbs * tests/set-old.test: * doc/unset.n: * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_UnsetObjCmd): added -nocomplain and -- options to unset, to allow for a silent unset operation. 2000-05-31 Eric Melski * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd): Added support for regexp and exact matching for [array names] command. [RFE: 3684]. * doc/array.n: Added documentation for [array names -exact/-regexp/-glob] [RFE: 3684]. * tests/set-old.test: Added tests for [array names -exact/-regexp/-glob] [RFE: 3684]. 2000-06-06 Jeff Hobbs 8.4a1 RELEASE * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode INST_STR_CMP): added test of iResult return from memcmp, as memcmp isn't required to return only -1,0,1. 2000-06-03 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct): Corrected caching of the index ptr to account for offsets != sizeof(char *). [Bug: 5153] 2000-05-29 Sandeep Tamhankar * tests/http.test * doc/http.n * library/http2.3/http.tcl: Fixed bug 5741, where unsuccessful geturl calls sometimes leaked memory and resources (sockets). Also, switched around some of the logic so that http::wait never throws an exception. This is because in an asynchronous geturl, the command callback will probably end up doing all the error handling anyway, and in an asynchronous situation, the user expects to check the state when the transaction completes, as opposed to being thrown an exception. For the http package, this menas the user can check http::status for "error" and http::error for the error message after doing the http::wait. 2000-05-27 Jeff Hobbs * tests/info.test: * doc/info.n: * generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_EvalFile): * generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoScriptCmd): added ability to set the info script return value [info script ?newFileName?]. This will be beneficial for virtual file system programs. [Bug: 4225] 2000-05-26 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): reworked to operate in Unicode, tweaked for performance. (Tcl_StringObjCmd) changed STR_FIRST/STR_LAST error message to something more understandable, reworked STR_FIRST, STR_LAST, STR_MAP, STR_MATCH, STR_RANGE, STR_REPLACE to operate in Unicode. Removed inneffectual STR_RANGE "special" ByteArray support. Optimized STR_MAP algorithm, especially optimized for one-pair case. Fixed possible mem overrun in STR_INDEX bytearray case. * generic/tclCompExpr.c: changed INST_STREQ -> INST_STR_EQ, INST_STRNEQ -> INST_STR_NEQ * generic/tclCompile.c: added streq, strneq, strcmp, strlen & strmatch to the compiled stats instructionTable * generic/tclCompile.h: added instructions INST_STR_CMP, INST_STR_INDEX, INST_STR_MATCH * generic/tclCompCmds.c: added byte compiler support for [string compare|match|index]. * generic/tclExecute.c: Changed INST_STR_(N)EQ to return an Int object and not bother trying to reuse the top stack object. Added INST_STR_CMP, INST_STR_INDEX, INST_STR_MATCH bytecode ops. Extended evalstats output info with Tcl_IsShared stat info. * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_DbIsShared): added support for checking result of Tcl_IsShared in evalstats (TCL_COMPILE_STATS). * generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_AppendUnicodeToObj): removed dead code. (AppendUnicodeToUnicodeRep) removed overallocation by extra sizeof(Tcl_UniChar) multiplier. * tests/string.test: added string map tests for the one-pair case, corrected tests to reflect improved error messages in first/last. Added tests against mem overrun in string index bytearray case. 2000-05-23 Eric Melski * generic/tclInt.h: Added function prototypes for TclCompileStringCmd and TclCompileReturnCmd. * generic/tclCompile.h: Added definition of INST_STRLEN opcode and updated LAST_INST_OPCODE value. * generic/tclBasic.c: Added information about TclCompileStringCmd and TclCompileReturnCmd to BuiltInCmds table. * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Added support for the INST_STRLEN opcode. * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileStringCmd): Basic implementation of byte-compiled [string] command. Not all subcommands are implemented; those that are not an out-line compiled. (TclCompileReturnCmd): Byte-compiled implementation of [return] command. Only "simple" returns are byte-compiled; in particular, if the -code, -errorinfo or -errorcode flags are used, the command is not byte-compiled. 2000-05-22 Jeff Hobbs * doc/scan.n: * doc/array.n: minor doc fixes [Bug: 5396] * generic/tclEnv.c: cast cleanup [Bug: 5624] * win/tclWinConsole.c: cast and header cleanup [Bug: 5625] * win/tclWinSerial.c: cast cleanup [Bug: 5626] * win/tclWinFCmd.c: cast cleanup [Bug: 5627] 2000-05-19 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclTest.c: * generic/tclIO.c: moved channel test commands from tclIO.c to tclTest.c. * generic/tclIO.h: new file, split out from tclIO.c to allow test commands to be moved to tclTest.c. * generic/tclStubInit.c: * generic/tclIntDecls.h: * generic/tclInt.decls: removed TclTestChannel*Cmd from internal stubs table and added TclChannelEventScriptInvoker to the internal stubs table so it can be used from the test code. 2000-05-18 Eric Melski * tests/clock.test: Added test for "2 days 2 hours ago" style specifications. * generic/tclDate.c: Regenerated from tclGetDate.y. * generic/tclGetDate.y: Tweaked grammar to properly handle the "ago" keyword when it follows multiple relative unit specifiers, as in "2 days 2 hours ago". [Bug: 5497]. 2000-05-18 Jeff Hobbs * win/{tcl.m4,Makefile.in,configure.in}: added support for mingw compile env and cross-compiling. [Bug: 5499] * generic/tclClock.c (FormatClock): correct code to handle locale specific return values from strftime, if any. [Bug: 3345] * unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings): attempt to correct setlocale calls for XIM support and locale issues. [BUG: 5422 3345 4236 2522 2521] 2000-05-17 Jeff Hobbs * library/init.tcl (auto_import): added check to see if a valid pattern was coming in, to avoid simple error cases [Bug: 3326] * doc/regsub.n: correct regsub docs [Bug: 5346] 2000-05-15 Eric Melski * library/history.tcl: Corrected an off-by-one error in HistIndex, which was causing [history redo] to start its search at the wrong event index. [Bug: 1269]. 2000-05-10 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclPosixStr.c (Tcl_SignalMsg): clarified #defines for Linux on Sparc to compile correctly. [Bug: 5364] * doc/namespace.n: * tests/namespace.test: * generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_NamespaceObjCmd): added 'namespace exists' command. [Bug: 4665] * doc/source.n: * doc/Eval.3: * tests/source.test: * generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_EvalFile): added explicit \32 (^Z) eofchar (affects Tcl_EvalFile in C, "source" in Tcl). This was implicit on Windows already, and is now cross-platform to allow for scripted documents. 2000-05-09 Andreas Kupries operating as proxy for David Gravereaux * win/tclWinThrd.c (TclpInitLock, TclpMasterLock): Added missing initialization of joinLock. 2000-05-09 Eric Melski * tests/lsearch.test: * doc/lsearch.n: * generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsearchObjCmd): Extended [lsearch] to support sorted list searching and typed list searching. [RFE: 4098]. 2000-05-08 Jeff Hobbs * doc/expr.n: * tests/expr.test: * tests/expr-old.test: added tests for 'eq' and 'ne' * generic/tclExecute.c: * generic/tclCompile.h: added INST_STREQ and INST_STRNEQ opcodes that do strict string comparisons. * generic/tclCompExpr.c: added 'eq' and 'ne' string comparison operators. * generic/tclParseExpr.c (GetLexeme): added 'eq' and 'ne' expr parse terms (string (in)equality check). * generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LinsertObjCmd): made use of Tcl_DuplicateObj where code was otherwise duplicated. Made special case of inserting one element at the end work again (where index == len). (Tcl_LreplaceObjCmd): moved Tcl_DuplicateObj call lower and cleaned up use of other arguments. * generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_DuplicateObj): simplified code to call TclInitStringRep, which the code was just duplicating in part. * doc/Utf.3: * generic/tclStubInit.c: * generic/tcl.decls: * generic/tclDecls.h: * generic/tclUtf.c: Added new functions Tcl_UniCharNcasecmp and Tcl_UniCharCaseMatch (unicode parallel to Tcl_StringCaseMatch) * generic/tclUtil.c: rewrote Tcl_StringCaseMatch algorithm for optimization and made Tcl_StringMatch just call Tcl_StringCaseMatch * tests/string.test: extended string match tests 2000-05-08 Eric Melski * tests/set-old.test: * doc/array.n: * generic/tclVar.c: Added [array statistics] command [RFE: 4557] 2000-05-06 Andreas Kupries operating as proxy for David Gravereaux * tclThreadJoin.c: Fixed several places with missing a & in arguments to calls of Tcl_Mutex(Un)lock and Tcl_ConditionNotify functions. 2000-05-02 Jeff Hobbs * README: * generic/tcl.h: * library/init.tcl: * library/reg1.0/pkgIndex.tcl: * library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: * mac/README: * tools/tcl.hpj.in: * tools/tcl.wse.in: * unix/README: * unix/configure.in: * unix/tcl.spec: * win/README: * win/README.binary: * win/configure.in: * win/makefile.vc: * win/tcl.m4: updated patchlevel to 8.4a1 * tests/compile.test: * tests/init.test: * tests/proc.test: * tests/proc-old.test: * tests/rename.test: * generic/tclProc.c: reworked error return for procedures with incorrect args to be like the C Tcl_WrongNumArgs, where a "wrong # args: ..." message is printed out with the args list. * unix/Makefile.in: add tclsh.ico and tcl.spec to dist target 2000-05-02 Andreas Kupries * Overall changes: (1) Implementation of joinable threads for all platforms. (2) Additional API's for channels. Required to allow the thread extension to move channels between threads. * generic/tcl.decls (lines 1360f): Added Tcl_JoinThread, Tcl_IsChannelShared, Tcl_IsChannelRegistered, Tcl_CutChannel, Tcl_SpliceChannel, Tcl_IsChannelExisting and Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers (slots 394 to 400). * generic/tclIO.c: Implemented Tcl_IsChannelRegistered, Tcl_IsChannelShared, Tcl_CutChannel, Tcl_SpliceChannel, Tcl_IsChannelExisting and Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers. Tcl_CutChannel uses code from CloseChannel. Replaced this code by a call to Tcl_CutChannel. Replaced several code fragments adding channels to the channel list with calls to Tcl_SpliceChannel. Removed now unused variables from CloseChannel and Tcl_UnstackChannel. Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers uses code from Tcl_Close. Replaced this code by a call to Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers. Removed now unused variables from Tcl_Close. Added the subcommands 'cut', 'forgetch', 'splice' and 'isshared' to the test code (TclTestChannelCmd). * unix/tclUnixThread.c: Implemented Tcl_JoinThread using the pthread-functionality. * win/tclWinThrd.c: Fixed several small typos in comments. Implemented Tcl_JoinThread using a platform independent emulation layer (see generic/tclThreadJoin.c below). Added 'joinLock' to serialize Tcl_CreateThread and TclpExitThread to prevent a race for joinable threads. * mac/tclMacThrd.c: Implemented Tcl_JoinThread using a platform independent emulation layer (see generic/tclThreadJoin.c below). Due to the cooperative nature of threading on this platform the race mentioned above is not present. * generic/tclThreadJoin.c: New file. Contains a platform independent emulation layer helping in the implementation of joinable threads for the win and mac platforms. * generic/tclInt.h: Added declarations for TclJoinThread, TclRememberJoinableThread and TclSignalExitThread. These procedures define the API of the emulation layer for joinable threads (see generic/tclThreadJoin.c above). * win/Makefile.in: * win/makefile.vc: Added generic/tclTheadJoin.o to the rules. * mac/: I don't know to which file generic/tclTheadJoin.o has to be added to so that it compiles. Sorry. * unix/tclUnixChan.c: #ifdef'd the thread-local list of file channels as it prevents us from transfering channels. To restore this we may need an extended interface to drivers in the future. Target: 9.0. Found while testing the new transfer of channels. The information in this list for a channel was left behind and then crashed the system during finalization. * generic/tclThreadTest.c: Added -joinable flag to 'testthread create'. Added subcommand 'testthread join'. * doc/CrtChannel.3: Added documentation for Tcl_IsChannelRegistered, Tcl_IsChannelShared, Tcl_CutChannel, Tcl_SpliceChannel, Tcl_IsChannelExisting and Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers. * doc/Thread.3: Added documentation for Tcl_JoinThread. * tests/thread.test: Added tests for joining of threads. 2000-04-27 Eric Melski * doc/library.n: Added entries for auto_qualify and auto_import [Bug: 1271]. * doc/Init.3: Manual entry for Tcl_Init [Bug: 1820]. * doc/expr.n: Added documentation for each of the math library functions that expr supports [Bug: 1054]. 2000-04-26 Eric Melski * doc/memory.n: Man page for Tcl "memory" command, which is created when TCL_MEM_DEBUG is defined at compile time. * doc/TCL_MEM_DEBUG.3: Man page with overall information about TCL_MEM_DEBUG usage. * doc/DumpActiveMemory.3: Man page for Tcl_DumpActiveMemory, Tcl_InitMemory, and Tcl_ValidateAllMemory [Bug: 1816, 1835]. * generic/tclCkalloc.c: Fixed some function headers. * unix/mkLinks: Regen'd with new mkLinks.tcl. * unix/mkLinks.tcl: Fixed indentation, made link setup more intelligent (only do one existance test per man page, instead of one per function). * doc/library.n: Fixed .SH NAME macro to include each function documented on the page, so that mkLinks will know about the functions listed there, and so that the Windows help file index will get set up correctly [Bug: 1898, 5273]. 2000-04-26 Jeff Hobbs 8.3.1 RELEASE * README: * mac/README: * tools/tcl.wse.in: * unix/README: * unix/tcl.spec: * win/README: * win/README.binary: Updating URLs to reference dev.scriptics.com 2000-04-25 Jeff Hobbs * unix/Makefile.in: * win/Makefile.in: * win/makefile.vc: updated for http change and some cleanup * library/http2.[13]: moved dir http2.1 to http2.3 to match version * doc/Utf.3: clarified docs for Tcl_(UniChar|Utf)AtIndex * unix/tclUnixThrd.c: removed {}s around PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER [Bug: 5254] * unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpLoadFile): removed use of interp->result 2000-04-25 Eric Melski * unix/mkLinks: * doc/AddErrInfo.3: Added information about Tcl_LogCommandInfo [Bug: 1818]. 2000-04-24 Eric Melski * unix/mkLinks: * doc/OpenFileChnl.3: Added man entry for Tcl_Ungets [Bug: 1834]. * unix/mkLinks: * doc/SourceRCFile.3: Man page for Tcl_SourceRCFile [Bug: 1833]. * unix/mkLinks: * doc/ParseCmd.3: Added documentation for Tcl_ParseVar [Bug: 1828]. 2000-04-24 Jeff Hobbs * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_FinalizeNotifier, NotifierThreadProc): added write of 'q' into triggerPipe for notifier in threaded case, so that Tcl doesn't hang when children are still running [Bug: 4139] * unix/tclUnixThrd.c (Tcl_MutexLock): minor comment fixes. 2000-04-23 Jim Ingham These changes make some error handling marginally better for Mac sockets. It is still somewhat flakey, however. * mac/tclMacSock.c (TcpClose): Add timeouts to the close - these don't seem to be honored, however. Use a separate PB for the release, since an async connect socket will still be using the original buffer. Make sure TCPRelease returns noErr before freeing the recvBuff. If the call returns an error, then the buffer is not right. * mac/tclMacSock.c (CreateSocket): Add timeouts to the async create. These don't seem to trigger, however. Sigh... * mac/tclMacSock.c (WaitForSocketEvent): If an TCP_ASYNC_CONNECT socket errors out, then return EWOULDBLOCK & error out. * mac/tclMacSock.c (NotifyRoutine): Added a NotifyRoutine for experimenting with MacTCP. 2000-04-22 Jim Ingham * library/package.tcl (tclPkgUnknown): Fixed a typo in the Mac package search part of tclPkgUnknown. 2000-04-21 Sandeep Tamhankar * library/http2.1/http.tcl: Fixed a newly introduced bug where if there's a -command callback and something goes wrong, geturl threw an exception, called the callback, and unset the token. I changed it so that it will not call the callback when throwing an exception (so the caller only finds out about a given error from one place). Also, fixed http::ncode so that it actually gives you back the http return code (i.e. 200, 404, etc.) instead of the first digit of the version of HTTP being used (i.e. 1). 2000-04-21 Brent Welch * library/http2.1/http.tcl: More thrashing with the "server closes without reading post data" scenario. Reverted to the previous filevent configuratiuon, which seems to work better with small amounts of post data. 2000-04-20 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclAlloc.c: wrapped caddr_t define to not be done on Unix * unix/tclUnixPort.h: added Tclp*Alloc defines to allow the use of USE_TCLALLOC on Unix. [Bug: 4731] 2000-04-19 Jeff Hobbs * library/dde1.1/pkgIndex.tcl: * library/reg1.0/pkgIndex.tcl: * win/tclWinChan.c: * win/tclWinThrd.c: converted CRLF to LF the */tcl.hpj.in files were not converted, as it confuses hcw locally. [Bug: 5096] * win/Makefile.in: expanded cleanup target for help files * doc/Thread.3: minor macro cleanup * generic/tclFileName.c (SplitUnixPath): added support for QNX node ids. 2000-04-18 Jeff Hobbs * README: * generic/tcl.h: * tools/tcl.wse.in: * unix/configure.in: * unix/tcl.spec: * win/configure.in: * win/README.binary: bumped version to 8.3.1 * win/tcl.hpj.in: updated copyright date * generic/tclEnv.c: environment support for Mac OS/X * unix/tclUnixPort.h: environment support for Mac OS/X * unix/tclLoadDyld.c: new file for Mac OS/X dl functions * unix/Makefile.in: added install-strip target; bindir, libdir, mandir, includedir vars; tclLoadDyld.c target [Bug: 2527] * unix/tclUnixChan.c (CreateSocket): force a socket back into blocking mode (default state) after a -async connect succeeds. [Bug: 4388] * generic/tclEvent.c (TclInitSubsystems): Moved tclLibraryPath to thread-local storage to prevent thread-related race condition. [Bug: 5033] * unix/tclAppInit.c (main): removed #ifdef TCL_TEST that sets the library path as it was unnecessary and conflicts with move of tclLibraryPath to thread-local storage. 2000-04-18 Scott Redman * win/Makefile.in: * win/tcl.rc: * win/tclsh.rc: * win/tclsh.ico: Modified copyright dates in Windows resource files. Added an icon for tclsh.exe. 2000-04-17 Brent Welch * generic/tcl.h, generic/tclThreadTest.c, unix/tclUnixThrd.c, win/tclWinThread.c, mac/tclMacThread.c: Added Tcl_CreateThreadType and TCL_RETURN_THREAD_TYPE macros for declaring the NewThread callback proc. 2000-04-14 Jeff Hobbs * unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtyParseMode): Only allow setting mark/space parity on platforms that support it [Bug: 5089] * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_GetVersion): adjusted use of major/minor to not conflict with global decl on some systems [Bug: 2882] * doc/AppInit.3: * doc/Async.3: * doc/BackgdErr.3: * doc/CrtChannel.3: * doc/CrtInterp.3: * doc/CrtMathFnc.3: * doc/DString.3: * doc/Eval.3: * doc/ExprLong.3: * doc/GetInt.3: * doc/GetOpnFl.3: * doc/Interp.3: * doc/LinkVar.3: * doc/OpenFileChnl.3: * doc/OpenTcp.3: * doc/PkgRequire.3: * doc/RecordEval.3: * doc/SetResult.3: * doc/SplitList.3: * doc/StaticPkg.3: * doc/TraceVar.3: * doc/Translate.3: * doc/UpVar.3: * doc/load.n: removed or updated references to interp->result use. 2000-04-13 Jeff Hobbs * doc/regexp.n: doc clarification [Bug: 5037] * doc/update.n: typo fix [Bug: 4996] * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_THREADS): enhanced the detection of pthread_mutex_init [Bug: 4359] and (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS) added --enable-64bit-vis switch for Sparc VIS compilation [Bug: 4995] 2000-04-12 Jeff Hobbs * doc/dde.n: corrected dde poke docs. [Bug: 4991] 2000-04-11 Eric Melski * win/tclWinPipe.c: Added "CONST" keyword to declaration of char *native in TclpCreateTempFile, to supress compiler warnings. 2000-04-10 Brent Welch * generic/tcl.h: Fixed Tcl_CreateThread declaration. * library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Fixed the "mainThread" initialization to work with either testthread or the thread extension * unix/tclUnixThrd.c: Fixed compiler warning when compiling with -DTCL_THREADS 2000-04-10 Eric Melski * win/tclWinPipe.c (TclpCreateTempFile): Added conversion of contents string from UTF to native encoding [Bug: 4030]. * tests/regexp.test: Added tests for infinite looping in [regexp -all]. * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Fixed infinite loop bug with [regexp -all] [Bug: 4981]. * tests/*.test: Changed all occurances of "namespace import ::tcltest" to "namespace import -force ::tcltest" [Bug: 3948]. 2000-04-09 Brent Welch * lib/httpd2.1/http.tcl: Worked on the "server closes before reading post data" case, which unfortunately causes different error cases on Solaris, which can read the reply, and Linux and Windows, which cannot read anything. This is all in the loop-back case - client and server on the same host. Also unified the error handling so the "ioerror" status goes away and errors are reflected in a more uniform way. Updated the man page to document the behavior. 2000-04-09 Jeff Hobbs * tests/reg.test (matchexpected): corrected tests to use tcltest constraint types to skip certain tests. * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_SetCommandInfo): comment fix * unix/tclUnixThrd.c (Tcl_CreateThread): moved TCL_THREADS ifdef inside of func as it is declared for non-threads builds as well. In the non-threads case, it always returns TCL_ERROR (couldn't create thread). 2000-04-08 Andreas Kupries * Overall change: Definition of a public API for the creation of new threads. * generic/tclInt.h (line 1802f): Removed the definition of 'TclpThreadCreate'. (line 793f) Removed the definition of 'Tcl_ThreadCreateProc'. * generic/tcl.h (line 388f): Readded the definition of 'Tcl_ThreadCreateProc'. Added Win32 stuff send in by David Graveraux to that too (__stdcall, ...). Added macros for the default stacksize and allowed flags. * generic/tcl.decls (line 1356f): Added definition of 'Tcl_CreateThread', slot 393 of the stub table. Two new arguments in the public API, for stacksize and flags. * win/tclWinThrd.c: * mac/tclMacThrd.c: Renamed TclpThreadCreate to Tcl_CreateThread, added handling of the stacksize. Flags are currently ignored. * unix/tclUnixThrd.c: See above, but handles joinable flag. Ignores the specified stacksize if the macro HAVE_PTHREAD_ATTR_SETSTACKSIZE is not defined. * generic/tclThreadTest.c (line 363): See below. * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (line 210): Adapted to the changes above. Uses default stacksize and no flags now. * unic/tcl.m4 (line 382f): Added a check for 'pthread_attr_setstacksize' to detect platforms not implementing this feature of pthreads. If it is implemented, configure will define the macro HAVE_PTHREAD_ATTR_SETSTACKSIZE (See unix/tclUnixThrd.c too). * doc/Thread.3: Added Tcl_CreateThread and its arguments to the list of described functions. Removed stuff about not providing a public C-API for thread-creation. 2000-04-07 Jeff Hobbs * doc/binary.n: clarified docs on sign extension in binary scan [Bug: 3466] * library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl (initConstraints): removed win32s references (no longer supported) * tests/fCmd.test: marked test 8.1 knownBug because it is dangerous on poorly configured systems [Bug: 3881] and added 8.2 to keep essence of 8.1 tested. 2000-04-05 Andreas Kupries * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_UnstackChannel, line 1831): Forcing interest mask to the correct value after an unstack and re-initialization of the notifier via the watchProc. Without this the first fileevent after an unstack will come through and be processed, but no more. [Bug: ??]. 2000-03-04 Brent Welch * {win,unix}/Makefile.in: added dependency of tclStubInit.c on tcl.decls and tclInt.decls * generic/tclThread.c: Tweak so this compiles w/out TCL_THREADS * generic/{tcl.decls,tclStubInit.c}: Just touched the tcl.decls and regenerated the tclStubInit.c file 2000-03-29 Sandeep Tamhankar * library/http2.1/http.tcl: For the -querychannel option, fconfigure the socket to be binary so that we don't translate anything while reading the data. This is because we determine the content length of the data on the channel by using seek (to the end of the file) and tell on the file handle, and we need the content-length to match the amount of data actually sent, and translation can affect the number of bytes posted. 2000-04-03 Andreas Kupries * Overall change: Definition of public API's for the finalization of conditions and mutexes. [Bug: 4199]. * generic/tclInt.h: Removed definitions of TclFinalizeMutex and TclFinalizeCondition. * generic/tcl.decls: Added declarations of Tcl_MutexFinalize and Tcl_ConditionFinalize. * generic/tclThread.c: Renamed TclFinalizeMutex to Tcl_MutexFinalize. Renamed TclFinalizeCondition to Tcl_ConditionFinalize. * generic/tclNotify.c: Changed usage of TclFinalizeMutex to Tcl_MutexFinalize. * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: * generic/tclThreadTest.c: Changed usages of TclFinalizeCondition to Tcl_ConditionFinalize. * generic/tcl.h: Added empty macros for Tcl_MutexFinalize and Tcl_ConditionFinalize, to be used when the core is compiled without threads. * doc/Thread.3: Added description the new API's. 2000-04-03 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoVarsCmd): checked for non-NULL procPtr to prevent itcl info override crash [Bug: 4064] * tests/foreach.test: * tests/namespace.test: * tests/var.test: Added lsorts to avoid random sorted return problems. [Bug: 2682] * tests/fileName.test: fixed 14.1 test fragility [Bug: 1482] * tools/man2help2.tcl: fixed winhelp cross-linking error [Bug: 4156] improved translation to winhelp [Bug: 3679] * unix/Makefile.in (MAN_INSTALL_DIR): patch to accept --mandir correctly [Bug: 4085] * unix/dltest/pkg[a-e].c: Cleaned up test packages [Bug: 2293] 2000-04-03 Eric Melski * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (SetGroupAttribute): * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (SetOwnerAttribute): Added (uid_t) and (gid_t) casts to avoid compiler warnings. 2000-03-31 Eric Melski * generic/tclGet.c (Tcl_GetDouble): Added additional conditions to error test (previously only errno was checked, but the return value of strtod() should be checked as well). [Bug: 4118]. * tests/exec.test: Added test for proper conversion of UTF data when used with "<< $dataWithUTF" on exec's. * unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateTempFile): Added Tcl_UtfToExternalDString call, so that if there is UTF content in the string it will be properly converted to the system encoding before being written [Bug: 4030]. (TclpCreateTempFile): Added a check on the return value of tmpnam; some systems (Linux, for example) will start to return NULL after tmpnam has been called TMP_MAX times; not checking for this can have bad results (overwriting temp files, core dumps, etc.) 2000-03-30 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken): Added comments noting the need to pair ckalloc with ckfree. [Bug: 4262] * generic/tclInt.decls: * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: * generic/tclStubInit.c: * win/tclWin32Dll.c: removed TclWinSynchSpawn (vestige of Win32s support). * win/tclWinReg.c: made use of TclWinGetPlatformId instead of getting info again * win/tclWinPort.h: * win/Makefile.in: * win/configure.in: * win/tcl.m4: Added support for gcc/mingw on Windows [Bug: 4234] 2000-03-29 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclCompile.c (TclCleanupByteCode): made ByteCode cleanup more aware of TCL_BYTECODE_PRECOMPILED flagged structs (gen'd by tbcload), to correctly clean them up. * generic/tclClock.c (FormatClock): moved check for empty format earlier, commented 0 result return value 2000-03-29 Sandeep Tamhankar * library/http2.1/http.tcl: Removed an unnecessary fileevent statement from the error processing part of the Write method. Also, fixed two potential memory leaks in wait and reset, in which the state array wasn't being unset before throwing an exception. Prior to this version, Brent checked in a fix to catch a fileevent statement that was sometimes causing a stack trace when geturl was called with -timeout. I believe Brent's fix is necessary because TLS closes bad sockets for secure connections, and the fileevent was trying to act on a socket that no longer existed. 2000-03-27 Jeff Hobbs * tests/httpd: removed unnecessary 'puts stderr "Post Dispatch"' * tests/namespace.test: * generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_Export): added a uniq'ing test to the export list so only one instance of each export pattern would exist in the list. * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): optimized case for the empty string in ==/!= comparisons 2000-03-27 Eric Melski * unix/tclUnixChan.c: Added (off_t) type casts in lseek() call [Bug: 4409]. * unix/tclLoadAout.c: * unix/tclUnixPipe.c: Added (off_t) type casts in lseek() calls [Bug: 4410]. 2000-03-22 Sandeep Tamhankar * library/http2.1/http.tcl: Fixed a bug where string query data that was bigger than queryblocksize would get duplicate characters at block boundaries. 2000-03-22 Sandeep Tamhankar * library/http2.1/http.tcl: Fixed bug 4463, where we were getting a stack trace if we tried to publish a project to a good host but a port where there was no server listening. It turned out the problem was a stray fileevent that needed to be cleared. Also, fixed a bug where http::code could stack trace if called on a bad token (one which didn't represent a successful geturl) by adding an http element to the state array in geturl. 2000-03-21 Eric Melski * tests/clock.test: Modified some tests that were not robust with respect to the time zone in which they were run and were thus failing. * doc/clock.n: Clarified meaning of -gmt with respect to -base when used with [clock scan] (-gmt does not affect the interpretation of -base). 2000-03-19 Sandeep Tamhankar * library/http2.1/http.tcl: geturl used to throw an exception when the connection failed; I accidentally returned a token with the error info, breaking backwards compatibility. I changed it back to throwing an exception, but unsetting the state array first (thus still eliminating the original memory leak problem). 2000-03-19 Sandeep Tamhankar * library/http2.1/http.tcl: Added -querychannel option and altered some of Brent's modifications to allow asynchronous posts (via -command). Also modified -queryprogress so that it calls the query callback as to be consistent with -progress. Added -queryblocksize option with default 8192 bytes for post blocksize. Fixed a bunch of potential memory leaks for the case when geturl receives bad args or can't open a socket, etc. Overall, the package really rocks now. * doc/http.n: Added -queryblocksize, -querychannel, and -queryprogress. Also, changed the description of -blocksize, which states that the -progress callback will be called for each block, to now qualify that with an "if -progress is specified". * tests/http.test: Added a querychannel test for synchronous and asynchronous posts, altered the queryprogress test such that the callback conforms to the -progress format. Also, had to use the -queryblocksize option to do the post 16K at a time to match Brent's expected results (and to test that -queryblocksize works). 2000-03-15 Brent Welch * library/http2.1/http.tcl: Added -queryprogress callback to http::geturl and also changed it so that writing the post data is event driven if the queryprogress callback or a timeout is given. This allows a timeout to occur when writing lots of post data. The queryprogress callback is called after each block of query data is posted. It has the same signature as the -progress callback. 2000-03-06 Eric Melski * library/package.tcl: Applied patch from Bug: 2570; rather than setting geometry of slave interp to 0x0 when Tk was loaded, it now does "wm withdraw .". Both remove the main window from the display, but the former caused some internal structures to get initialized to zero, which caused crashes with some extensions. 2000-03-02 Jeff Hobbs * library/package.tcl (tclPkgUnknown): extended to allow recognizes changes in the auto_path while sourcing in other pkgIndex.tcl files * doc/FindExec.3: fixed doc for declaration of Tcl_FindExecutable [Bug: 4275] * generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_TranslateFileName): Applied patch from Newman to significantly speedup file split/join on Windows (replaces regexp with custom parser). [Bug: 2867] * win/README.binary: change mailing lists from @consortium.org to @scriptics.com [Bug: 4173] 2000-02-28 Eric Melski * tests/clock.test: Added test for ISO bases < 100000 * generic/tclDate.c: (generated on Solaris) * generic/tclGetDate.y: Changed condition for deciding if a number is an ISO 8601 base from number >= 100000 to numberOfDigits >= 6. Previously it would fail to recognize 000000 as an ISO base. 2000-02-14 Eric Melski * unix/Makefile.in: Added rpm target to generate Tcl binary RPM. * unix/tcl.spec: RPM specification file for a Tcl binary RPM for Linux. 2000-02-10 Jeff Hobbs 8.3.0 RELEASE * changes: updated for 8.3.0 release * doc/load.n: added notes about dll load errors on Windows * unix/README: * unix/Makefile.in (dist): removed porting.notes and porting.old from distribution and CVS. The information was very outdated. Now refer to http://dev.scriptics.com/services/support/platforms.html * tests/unixInit.test: fixed japanese LANG encoding test [Bug: 3549] * unix/configure.in: * unix/tcl.m4: correct CFLAG_WARNING setting, fixed gcc config for AIX, added -export-dynamic to LDFLAGS for FreeBSD-3+ [Bug: 2998] * win/tclWinLoad.c (TclpLoadFile): improved error message for load failures, could perhaps be even more intelligent. 2000-02-09 Jim Ingham * mac/tclMacSock.c: Don't panic when you get an error closing an async socket. This doesn't seem to hurt anything, and we return the error so the caller can do the right thing. New Files: * mac/MW_TclHeader.h: * mac/MW_TclTestHeader.h: * mac/MW_TclTestHeader.pch: * mac/MW_TclAppleScriptHeader.h: More convenient to use .h prefix files in the preference panels... The above are curtesy of Daniel Steffen (steffen@math.mq.edu.au) 2000-02-08 Eric Melski * tests/clock.test: Added tests for "next monthname" constructs. * generic/tclDate.c: * generic/tclGetDate.y (Message): Added a grammar rule for "next monthname" so that we can handle "next january" and similar constructs (bug #4146). 2000-02-08 Jeff Hobbs * README: * tools/tcl.wse.in: * unix/configure.in: * win/configure.in: * win/README: * win/README.binary: * generic/tcl.h (TCL_RELEASE_SERIAL): Moved to 8.3.0 patchlevel * doc/library.n: * library/auto.tcl: fixed crufty puts code and docs [Bug: 4122] * library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: correctly protected searchDirectory list to allow dirnames with spaces * unix/tcl.m4: changed all -fpic to -fPIC * generic/tclDecls.h: * generic/tcl.decls: change Tcl_GetOpenFile to use decl of 'int forWriting' instead of 'int write' to avoid shadowing [Bug: 4121] * tests/httpold.test: changed test script to source in the httpd server procs from httpd instead of having its own set. * tests/httpd: improved query support in test httpd to handle fix in http.tcl. [Bug: 4089 change 2000-02-01] * unix/README: fixed notes about --enable-shared and add note about --disable-shared. 2000-02-07 Eric Melski * tests/package.test: * library/tclIndex: * library/package.tcl: Renamed ::package namespace to ::pkg. 2000-02-03 Eric Melski * doc/Package.n: * doc/packagens.n: Renamed Package.n -> packagens.n because Windows can't deal with case-sensitive names. 2000-02-02 Jeff Hobbs * tests/regexp.test: added tests for -all and -inline switches * doc/regexp.n: added docs for -all and -inline switches * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegexpObjCmd): added extra comments for new -all and -inline switches to regexp command 2000-02-01 Eric Melski * library/init.tcl: Applied patch from rfe 1734 regarding auto_load errors not setting error message and errorInfo properly. 2000-02-01 Jeff Hobbs * win/Makefile.in (install-*): reduced verbosity of install * generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_JoinPath): improved support for special QNX node id prefixes in pathnames [Bug: 4053] * library/http1.0/http.tcl: * library/http2.1/http.tcl: The query data POSTed was newline terminated when it shouldn't be altered [Bug: 4089] 2000-01-31 Eric Melski * tests/package.test: * library/tclIndex: * library/package.tcl: Added ::package namespace and ::package::create function. * library/init.tcl: Fixed problem with auto_load and determining if commands were loaded. * library/auto.tcl: "Fixed" issues with $ in files to be auto indexed. * doc/Package.n: New man page for package::create function. * doc/pkgMkIndex.n: Added additional information. * doc/library.n: Added additional qualification regarding auto_mkindex. 2000-01-28 Eric Melski * tests/pkg/magicchar2.tcl: * tests/autoMkindex.test: Test for auto loader fix (bug #2480). * library/init.tcl: auto_load was using [info commands $name] to determine if a given command was available; if the command name had * or [] it, this would fail because info commands uses glob-style matching. This is fixed. (Bug #2480). * tests/pkg/spacename.tcl: * tests/pkgMkIndex.test: Tests for fix for bug #2360. * library/package.tcl: Fixed to extract only the first element of the list returned by auto_qualify (bug #2360). * tests/pkg/magicchar.tcl: * tests/autoMkindex.test: Test for fix for bug #2611. * library/auto.tcl: Fixed the regular expression that performs $ escaping before sourcing a file to index. It was erroneously adding \ escapes even to $'s that were already escaped, effectively "un-escaping" those $'s. (bug #2611). 2000-01-27 Eric Melski * tests/autoMkindex.test: * library/auto.tcl: Applied patch (with slight modification) from bug #2701: auto_mkIndex uses platform dependent file paths. Added test for fix. 2000-01-27 Jennifer Hom * library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Changed NormalizePath to normalizePath and exported it as a public proc. This proc creates an absolute path given the name of the variable containing the path to modify. The path is modified in place. * library/tcltest1.0/pkgIndex.tcl: Added normalizePath. * tests/all.tcl: Changed code to use normalizePath. 2000-01-27 Eric Melski * tests/pkg/samename.tcl: test file for bug #1983 * tests/pkgMkIndex.test: * doc/pkgMkIndex.n: * library/package.tcl: Per rfe #4097, optimized creation of direct load packages to bypass computing the list of commands added by the new package. Also made direct loading the default, and added a -lazy option. Fixed bug #1983, dealing with pkg_mkIndex incorrectly handling situations with two procs by the same name but in different namespaces (ie, foo::baz and bar::baz). 2000-01-26 Eric Melski * generic/tclNamesp.c: Undid fix for #956, which broke backwards compatibility. * doc/variable.n: * doc/trace.n: * doc/namespace.n: * doc/info.n: Added further information about differences between "namespace which" and "info exists". * doc/SetErrno.3: Added descriptions of ErrnoId() and ErrnoMsg() functions. 2000-01-25 Jeff Hobbs * unix/tcl.m4: modified EXTRA_CFLAGS to add -DHAVE_TZSET for OSF1-V* and ULTRIX-4.* when not using gcc. Also added higher min stack size for OSF1-V* when building with threads. [Bug: 4063] * generic/tclClock.c (FormatClock): inlined resultPtr, as it conflicted with var creation for HAVE_TZSET #def [Bug: 4063] * generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd): fixed potential leak when calling lsort -command with bad command [Bug: 4067] * generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_JoinPath): added support for special QNX node id prefixes in pathnames [Bug: 4053] * doc/ListObj.3: clarified Tcl_ListObjGetElements docs [Bug: 4080] * doc/glob.n: clarified Mac path separator determination docs. * win/makefile.vc: added some support for building helpfile on Windows 2000-01-23 Jeff Hobbs * library/init.tcl (auto_execok): added 'start' to list of recognized built-in commands for COMSPEC on NT. [Bug: 2858] * unix/tclUnixPort.h: moved include of lower since some systems (UTS) require sys/types.h to be included first [Bug: 4031] * unix/tclUnixChan.c (CreateSocketAddress): changed comparison with -1 to 0xFFFFFFFF, to ensure 32 bit comparison even on 64 bit systems. [Bug: 3878] * generic/tclFileName.c: improved guessing of path separator for the Mac. (Darley) * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tcl.decls: moved Tcl_ProcObjCmd to stubs table [Bug: 3827] and removed 'register' from stub definition of Tcl_AppendUnicodeToObj [Bug: 4038] 2000-01-21 Eric Melski * unix/mkLinks: * doc/GetHostName.3: Man page for Tcl_GetHostName (bug #1817). * doc/lreplace.n: Corrected man page with respect to treatment of empty lists, and "prettied up" the page. (bug #1705). 2000-01-20 Eric Melski * tests/namespace.test: Added test for undefined variables with namespace which (bug #956). * generic/tclNamesp.c: Added check for undefined variables in NamespaceWhichCmd (bug #956). * tests/var.test: Added tests for corrected variable behavior (bug #981). * doc/upvar.n: Expanded explanation of upvar behavior with respect to variable traces. (bugs 3917 1433 2110). * generic/tclVar.c: Changed behavior of variable command when name refers to an element in an array (ie, "variable foo(x)") to always return an error, regardless of existance of that element in the array (now behavior is consistant with docs too) (bug #981). 2000-01-20 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoBodyCmd): made [info body] return a string if the body has been bytecompiled. * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalObjEx): added pedantic check for originating proc body of bytecompiled code, #def'd out as the change for [info body] should make it unnecessary * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_InitNotifier): added cast for tsdPtr * tests/set.test: added test for complex array elem name compiling * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSetCmd): Fixed parsing of array elements during compiling, and slightly optimised same [Bug: 3889] * doc/tclvars.n: added definitions for tcl_(non)wordchars * doc/vwait.n: added notes about requirement for vwait var being globally scoped [Bug: 3329] * library/word.tcl: changed tcl_(non)wordchars settings to use new unicode regexp char class escapes instead of char sequences 2000-01-14 Eric Melski * tests/var.test: Added a test for the array multiple delete protection in Tcl_UnsetVar2. * generic/tclVar.c: Added protection in Tcl_UnsetVar2 against attempts to multiply delete arrays when unsetting them (bug #3453). This could happen if there was an unset trace on an array element and the trace proc made a global or upvar link to the array, and then the array was unset at the global level. See the bug reference for more information. * unix/tclUnixTime.c: New clock format format. * compat/strftime.c: New clock format format. * generic/tclGetDate.y: New clock scan format. 2000-01-13 Jeff Hobbs * changes: updated changes file to reflect 8.3b2 mods * README: * generic/tcl.h: * tools/tcl.wse.in: * unix/configure.in: * unix/tcl.m4: * win/README.binary: * win/configure.in: updated to patchlevel 8.3b2 * generic/regexec.c: added var initialization to prevent compiler warning 2000-01-13 Eric Melski * tests/cmdIL.test: Added tests for lsort -dictionary with characters that occur between Z and a in ASCII. * generic/tclCmdIL.c: Modified DictionaryCompare function (used by lsort -dictionary) to do upper/lower case equivalency before doing character comparisons, instead of after. This fixes bug #1357, in which lsort -dictionary [list ` AA c CC] and lsort -dictionary [list AA c ` CC] gave different (and both wrong) results. 2000-01-12 Eric Melski * tests/clock.test: Added tests for "next " and "" Added tests for "monday 1 week ago", etc, from RFE #3671. * doc/tests/clock.test: Added numerous tests for clock scan. * doc/generic/tclGetDate.y: Fixed some shift/reduce conflicts in clock grammar. * doc/doc/clock.n: Added documentation for new supported clock scan formats and additional explanation of daylight savings time correction algorithm. 2000-01-12 Jeff Hobbs * doc/file.n: * tests/unixFCmd.test: * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: added support for symbolic permissions setting in SetPermissionsAttribute (file attr $file -perm ...) [Bug: 3970] * generic/tclClock.c: fixed support for 64bit handling of clock values [Bug: 1806] * generic/tclThreadTest.c: upped a buffer size to hold double * tests/info.test: * generic/tclCmdIL.c: fixed 'info procs ::namesp::*' behavior (Dejong) * generic/tclNamesp.c: made imported commands also import their compile proc [Bug: 2100] * tests/expr.test: * unix/Makefile.in: * unix/configure.in: * unix/tcl.m4: recognize strtod bug on Tru64 v5.0 [Bug: 3378] and added tests to prevent unnecessary chmod +x in sources while installing, as well as more intelligent setsockopt/gethostbyname checks [Bug: 3366, 3389] * unix/tclUnixThrd.c: added compile time support (through use of the TCL_THREAD_STACK_MIN define) for increasing the default stack size for a thread. [Bug: 3797, 1966] 2000-01-11 Eric Melski * generic/tclGetDate.y: Added comments for the Convert function. Added a fix for daylight savings time handling for relative time spans of days, weeks or fortnights. (bug 3441, 3868). * generic/tclDate.c: Fixed compiler warning issues. 2000-01-10 Jeff Hobbs * compat/waitpid.c: use pid_t type instead of int [Bug: 3999] * tests/utf.test: fixed test that allowed \8 as octal value * generic/tclUtf.c: changed Tcl_UtfBackslash to not allow non-octal digits (8,9) in \ooo substs. [Bug: 3975] * generic/tcl.h: noted need to change win/tcl.m4 and tools/tclSplash.bmp for minor version changes * library/http2.1/http.tcl: trim value for $state(meta) key * unix/tclUnixFile.c: fixed signature style on functions * unix/Makefile.in: made sure tcl.m4 would be installed with dist * unix/tcl.m4: added ELF support for NetBSD [Bug: 3959] 2000-01-10 Eric Melski * generic/tclGetDate.y: Added rules for ISO 8601 formats (BUG #847): CCYY-MM-DD CCYYMMDD YY-MM-DD YYMMDD CCYYMMDDTHHMMSS CCYYMMDD HHMMSS CCYYMMDDTHH:MM:SS Fixed "clock scan " to scan the number as an hour for the current day, rather than a minute after 00:00 for the current day (bug #2732). 2000-01-07 Eric Melski * generic/tclClock.c: Changed switch in Tcl_ClockObjCmd to use enumerated values instead of constants. (ie, COMMAND_SCAN instead of 3). ***************************************************** *** FURTHER CHANGELOG ENTRIES IN "ChangeLog.1999" *** *****************************************************
