2009-11-06 Andreas Kupries * library/safe.tcl (::safe::Setup): Added documentation of the contents of the state array. Also killed the 'InterpState' procedure with its upleveled variable/upvar combination, and replaced all uses with 'namespace upvar'. 2009-11-05 Andreas Kupries * library/safe.tcl: A series of patches which bring the SafeBase up to date with code guidelines, Tcl's features, also eliminating a number of inefficiencies along the way. (1) Changed all procedure names to be fully qualified. (2) Moved the procedures out of the namespace eval. Kept their locations. IOW, broke the namespace eval apart into small sections not covering the procedure definitions. (3) Reindented the code. Just lots of whitespace changes. Functionality unchanged. (4) Moved the multiple namespace eval's around. Command export at the top, everything else (var decls, argument parsing setup) at the bottom. (5) Moved the argument parsing setup into a procedure called when the code is loaded. Easier management of temporary data. (6) Replaced several uses of 'Set' with calls to the new procedure 'InterpState' and direct access to the per-slave state array. (7) Replaced the remaining uses of 'Set' and others outside of the path/token handling, and deleted a number of procedures related to state array access which are not used any longer. (8) Converted the path token system to cache normalized paths and path <-> token conversions. Removed more procedures not used any longer. Removed the test cases 4.3 and 4.4 from safe.test. They were testing the now deleted command "InterpStateName". (9) Changed the log command setup so that logging is compiled out completely when disabled (default). (10) Misc. cleanup. Inlined IsInterp into CheckInterp, its only user. Consistent 'return -code error' for error reporting. Updated to use modern features (lassign, in/ni, dicts). The latter are used to keep a reverse path -> token map and quicker check of existence. (11) Fixed bug 2854929. Recurse into all subdirs under all TM root dirs and put them on the access path. 2009-11-02 Kevin B. Kenny * library/tzdata/Asia/Novokuznetsk: New tzdata locale for Kemerovo oblast', which now keeps Novosibirsk time and not Kranoyarsk time. * library/tzdata/Asia/Damascus: Syrian DST changes. * library/tzdata/Asia/Hong_Kong: Hong Kong historic DST corrections. Olson tzdata2009q. 2009-11-02 Donal K. Fellows * doc/object.n (DESCRIPTION): Substantive revision to make it clearer what the fundamental semantics of an object actually are. 2009-11-01 Joe Mistachkin * doc/Cancel.3: Minor cosmetic fixes. * win/makefile.vc: Make htmlhelp target work again. An extra set of double quotes around the definition of the HTML help compiler tool appears to be required. Previously, there was one set of double quotes around the definition of the tool and one around the actual invocation. This led to confusion because it was the only such tool path to include double quotes around its invocation. Also, it was somewhat inflexible in the event that somebody needed to override the tool command to include arguments. Therefore, even though it may look "wrong", there are now two double quotes on either side of the tool path definition. This fixes the problem that currently prevents the htmlhelp target from building and maintains flexibility in case somebody needs to override it via the command line or an environment variable. 2009-11-01 Joe English * doc/Eval.3, doc/Cancel.3: Move TIP#285 routines out of Eval.3 into their own manpage. 2009-10-31 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclBasic.c (ExprRoundFunc): [Bug 2889593]: Correctly report the expected number of arguments when generating an error for round(). 2009-10-30 Pat Thoyts * tests/tcltest.test: When creating the notwritabledir we deny the current user access to delete the file. We must grant this right when we cleanup. Required on Windows 7 when the user does not automatically have administrator rights. 2009-10-29 Don Porter * generic/tcl.h: Changed the typedef for the mp_digit type from: typedef unsigned long mp_digit; to: typedef unsigned int mp_digit; For 32-bit builds where "long" and "int" are two names for the same thing, this is no change at all. For 64-bit builds, though, this causes the dp[] array of an mp_int to be made up of 32-bit elements instead of 64-bit elements. This is a huge improvement because details elsewhere in the mp_int implementation cause only 28 bits of each element to be actually used storing number data. Without this change bignums are over 50% wasted space on 64-bit systems. [Bug 2800740]. ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** For 64-bit builds, callers of routines with (mp_digit) or (mp_digit *) arguments *will*, and callers of routines with (mp_int *) arguments *may* suffer both binary and stubs incompatibilities with Tcl releases 8.5.0 - 8.5.7. Such possibilities should be checked, and if such incompatibilities are present, suitable [package require] requirements on the Tcl release should be put in place to keep such built code [load]-ing only in Tcl interps that are compatible. 2009-10-29 Donal K. Fellows * tests/dict.test: Make variable-clean and simplify tests by utilizing the fact that dictionaries have defined orders. * generic/tclZlib.c (TclZlibCmd): Remove accidental C99-ism which reportedly makes the AIX native compiler choke. 2009-10-29 Kevin B. Kenny * library/clock.tcl (LocalizeFormat): * tests/clock.test (clock-67.1): [Bug 2819334]: Corrected a problem where '%%' followed by a letter in a format group could expand recursively: %%R would turn into %%H:%M:%S 2009-10-28 Don Porter * generic/tclLiteral.c: [Bug 2888044]: Fixed 2 bugs. * tests/info.test: First, as noted in the comments of the TclCleanupLiteralTable routine, since the teardown of the intrep of one Tcl_Obj can cause the teardown of others in the same table, the full table cleanup must be done with care, but the code did not contain the same care demanded in the comment. Second, recent additions to the info.test file had poor hygiene, leaving an array variable ::a lying around, which breaks later interp.test tests during a -singleproc 1 run of the test suite. 2009-10-28 Kevin B. Kenny * tests/fileName.test (fileName-20.[78]): Corrected poor test hygiene (failure to save and restore the working directory) that caused these two tests to fail on Windows (and [Bug 2806250] to be reopened). 2009-10-27 Don Porter * generic/tclPathObj.c: [Bug 2884203]: Missing refcount on cached normalized path caused crashes. 2009-10-27 Kevin B. Kenny * library/clock.tcl (ParseClockScanFormat): [Bug 2886852]: Corrected a problem where [clock scan] didn't load the timezone soon enough when processing a time format that lacked a complete date. * tests/clock.test (clock-66.1): Added a test case for the above bug. * library/tzdata/America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires: * library/tzdata/America/Argentina/Cordoba: * library/tzdata/America/Argentina/San_Luis: * library/tzdata/America/Argentina/Tucuman: New DST rules for Argentina.

Kenny * library/clock.tcl (ProcessPosixTimeZone): Corrected a regression in the fix to [Bug 2207436] that caused [clock] to apply EU daylight saving time rules in the US. Thanks to Karl Lehenbauer for reporting this regression. * tests/clock.test (clock-52.4): Added a regression test for the above bug. * library/tzdata/Asia/Dhaka: * library/tzdata/Asia/Karachi: New DST rules for Bangladesh and Pakistan. (Olson's tzdata2009o.) 2009-10-23 Andreas Kupries * generic/tclIO.c (FlushChannel): Skip OutputProc for low-level 0-length writes. When closing pipes which have already been closed not skipping leads to spurious SIG_PIPE signals. Reported by Mikhail Teterin . 2009-10-22 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclOOBasic.c (TclOO_Object_VarName): [Bug 2883857]: Allow the passing of array element names through this method. 2009-10-21 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclPosixStr.c: [Bug 2882561]: Work around oddity on Haiku OS where SIGSEGV and SIGBUS are the same value. * generic/tclTrace.c (StringTraceProc): [Bug 2881259]: Added back cast to work around silly bug in MSVC's handling of auto-casting. 2009-10-20 Don Porter * unix/Makefile.in: Removed the long outdated and broken targets package-* that were for building Solaris packages. Appears that the pieces needed for these targets to function have never been present in the current era of Tcl development and belong completely to Tcl pre-history. 2009-10-19 Don Porter * generic/tclIO.c: [Patch 2107634]: Revised ReadChars and FilterInputBytes routines to permit reads to continue up to the string limits of Tcl values. Before revisions, large read attempts could panic when as little as half the limiting value length was reached. Thanks to Sean Morrison and Bob Parker for their roles in the fix. 2009-10-18 Joe Mistachkin * generic/tclObj.c (TclDbDumpActiveObjects, TclDbInitNewObj) (Tcl_DbIncrRefCount, Tcl_DbDecrRefCount, Tcl_DbIsShared): [Bug 2871908]: Enforce separation of concerns between the lineCLPtr and objThreadMap thread specific data members. 2009-10-18 Joe Mistachkin * tests/thread.test (thread-4.[345]): [Bug 1565466]: Correct tests to save their error state before the final call to threadReap just in case it triggers an "invalid thread id" error. This error can occur if one or more of the target threads has exited prior to the attempt to send it an asynchronous exit command. 2009-10-17 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclVar.c (UnsetVarStruct, TclDeleteNamespaceVars) (TclDeleteCompiledLocalVars, DeleteArray): * generic/tclTrace.c (Tcl_UntraceVar2): [Bug 2629338]: Stop traces that are deleted part way through (a feature used by tdom) from causing freed memory to be accessed. 2009-10-08 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclDictObj.c (DictIncrCmd): [Bug 2874678]: Don't leak any bignums when doing [dict incr] with a value. * tests/dict.test (dict-19.3): Memory leak detection code. 2009-10-07 Andreas Kupries * generic/tclObj.c: [Bug 2871908]: Plug memory leaks of objThreadMap and lineCLPtr hashtables. Also make the names of the continuation line information initialization and finalization functions more consistent. Patch supplied by Joe Mistachkin . * generic/tclIORChan.c (ErrnoReturn): Replace hardwired constant 11 with proper errno #define, EAGAIN. What was I thinking? The BSD's have a different errno assignment and break with the hardwired number. Reported by emiliano on the chat. 2009-10-06 Don Porter * generic/tclInterp.c (SlaveEval): Agressive stomping of internal reps was added as part of the NRE patch of 2008-07-13. This doesn't appear to actually be needed, and it hurts quite a bit when large lists lose their intreps and require reparsing. Thanks to Ashok Nadkarni for reporting the problem. * generic/tclTomMathInt.h (new): Public header tclTomMath.h had * generic/tclTomMath.h: dependence on private headers, breaking use * generic/tommath.h: by extensions [Bug 1941434]. 2009-10-05 Andreas Kupries * library/safe.tcl (AliasGlob): Fixed conversion of catch to try/finally, it had an 'on ok msg' branch missing, causing a silent error immediately, and bogus glob results, breaking search for Tcl modules. 2009-10-04 Daniel Steffen * macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c: Workaround CF memory managment bug in * unix/tclUnixInit.c: Mac OS X 10.4 & earlier.

[Bugs 2557696 and 2557796]. 2009-09-28 Don Porter * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Replaced TclProcessReturn() calls with * tests/error.test: Tcl_SetReturnOptions() calls as a simple fix for [Bug 2855247]. Thanks to Anton Kovalenko for the report and fix. Additional fixes for other failures demonstrated by new tests. 2009-09-27 Don Porter * tests/error.test (error-15.8.*): Coverage tests illustrating flaws in the propagation of return options by [try]. 2009-09-26 Donal K. Fellows * unix/tclooConfig.sh, win/tclooConfig.sh: [Bug 2026844]: Added dummy versions of tclooConfig.sh that make it easier to build extensions against both Tcl8.5+TclOO-standalone and Tcl8.6. 2009-09-24 Don Porter TIP #356 IMPLEMENTATION * generic/tcl.decls: Promote internal routine TclNRSubstObj() * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: to public Tcl_NRSubstObj(). Still needs docs. * generic/tclCompile.c: * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclDecls.h: make genstubs * generic/tclStubInit.c: 2009-09-23 Miguel Sofer * doc/namespace.n: the description of [namespace unknown] failed to mention [namespace path]: fixed. Thx emiliano. 2009-09-21 Mo DeJong * tests/regexp.test: Added check for error message from unbalanced [] in regexp. Added additional simple test cases of basic regsub command. 2009-09-21 Don Porter * generic/tclCompile.c: Correct botch in the conversion of Tcl_SubstObj(). Thanks to Kevin Kenny for detection and report. 2009-09-17 Don Porter * generic/tclCompile.c: Re-implement Tcl_SubstObj() as a simple * generic/tclParse.c: wrapper around TclNRSubstObj(). This has * tests/basic.test: the effect of caching compiled bytecode in * tests/parse.test: the value to be substituted. Note that Tcl_SubstObj() now exists only for extensions. Tcl itself no longer makes any use of it. Note also that TclSubstTokens() is now reachable only by Tcl_EvalEx() and Tcl_ParseVar() so tests aiming to test its functioning needed adjustment to still have the intended effect. 2009-09-16 Alexandre Ferrieux * generic/tclObj.c: Extended ::tcl::unsupported::representation. 2009-09-11 Don Porter * generic/tclBasic.c: Completed the NR-enabling of [subst]. * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: [Bug 2314561]. * generic/tclCompCmds.c: * generic/tclCompile.c: * generic/tclInt.h: * tests/coroutine.test: * tests/parse.test: 2009-09-11 Donal K.

This is a partial solution to * generic/tclCompile.c: the need to NR-enable [subst] since bytecode * generic/tclCompile.h: execution is already NR-enabled. Two new * generic/tclExecute.c: bytecode instructions, INST_NOP and * generic/tclInt.h: INST_RETURN_CODE_BRANCH were added to support * generic/tclParse.c: the new routine. INST_RETURN_CODE_BRANCH is * tests/basic.test: likely to be useful in any future effort to * tests/info.test: add a bytecode compiler routine for [try]. * tests/parse.test: 2009-09-03 Donal K. Fellows * doc/LinkVar.3: [Bug 2844962]: Added documentation of issues relating to use of this API in a multi-threaded environment. 2009-09-01 Andreas Kupries * generic/tclIORTrans.c (ReflectInput): Remove error response to 0-result from method 'limit?' of transformations. Return the number of copied bytes instead, which is possibly nothing. The latter then triggers EOF handling in the higher layers, making the 0-result of limit? the way to inject artificial EOF's into the data stream. 2009-09-01 Don Porter * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Bump to tcltest 2.3.2 after revision * library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl: to verbose error message. * unix/Makefile.in: * win/Makefile.in: 2009-08-27 Don Porter * generic/tclStringObj.c: [Bug 2845535]: A few more string overflow cases in [format]. 2009-08-25 Andreas Kupries * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp, Tcl_EvalTokensStandard) (Tcl_EvalEx, TclEvalEx, TclAdvanceContinuations, TclNREvalObjEx): * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SwitchObjCmd, TclListLines): * generic/tclCompCmds.c (*): * generic/tclCompile.c (TclSetByteCodeFromAny, TclInitCompileEnv) (TclFreeCompileEnv, TclCompileScript, TclCompileTokens): * generic/tclCompile.h (CompileEnv): * generic/tclInt.h (ContLineLoc, Interp): * generic/tclObj.c (ThreadSpecificData, ContLineLocFree) (TclThreadFinalizeObjects, TclInitObjSubsystem, TclContinuationsEnter, (TclContinuationsEnterDerived, TclContinuationsCopy, TclFreeObj) (TclContinuationsGet): * generic/tclParse.c (TclSubstTokens, Tcl_SubstObj): * generic/tclProc.c (TclCreateProc): * generic/tclVar.c (TclPtrSetVar): * tests/info.test (info-30.0-24): Extended the parser, compiler, and execution engine with code and attendant data structures tracking the position of continuation lines which are not visible in the resulting script Tcl_Obj*'s, to properly account for them while counting lines for #280. 2009-08-24 Daniel Steffen * generic/tclInt.h: Annotate Tcl_Panic as noreturn for clang static analyzer in PURIFY builds, replacing preprocessor/assert technique. * macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: Fix multiple issues with nested event loops when CoreFoundation notifier is running in embedded mode. (Fixes problems in TkAqua Cocoa reported by Youness Alaoui on tcl-mac) 2009-08-21 Don Porter * generic/tclFileName.c: Correct regression in [Bug 2837800] fix. * tests/fileName.test: 2009-08-20 Don Porter * generic/tclFileName.c: [Bug 2837800]: Correct the result produced by [glob */test] when * matches something like ~foo. * generic/tclPathObj.c: [Bug 2806250]: Prevent the storage of strings starting with ~ in the "tail" part (normPathPtr field) of the path intrep when PATHFLAGS != 0. This establishes the assumptions relied on elsewhere that the name stored there is a relative path. Also refactored to make an AppendPath() routine instead of the cut/paste stanzas that were littered throughout. 2009-08-20 Donal K.

Further extended the bytecode compiler to track the start line in the generated information, and modified the bytecode execution to recompile an object if the location as per the calling context doesn't match the location saved in the bytecode. This part could be optimized more by using more memory to keep all possibilities which occur around, or by just adjusting the location information instead of a total recompile. Reworked the handling of literal command arguments in bytecode to be saved (compiler) and used (execution) per command (See the TCL_INVOKE_STK* instructions), and not per the whole bytecode. This, and the previous change remove the problems with location data caused by literal sharing (across whole files, but also proc bodies). Simplified the associated datastructures (ExtIndex is gone, as is the function EnterCmdWordIndex). The last change causes the hashtable 'lineLABCPtr' to be state which has to be kept per coroutine, like the CmdFrame stack. Reworked the coroutine support code to create, delete and switch the information as needed. Further reworked the tailcall command as well, it has to pop its own arguments when run in a bytecode context to keep a proper stack in 'lineLABCPtr'. Fixed the mishandling of line information in the NRE-enabled 'for' and 'while' commands introduced when both were made to share their iteration callbacks without taking into account that the loop body is found in different words of the command. Introduced a separate data structure to hold all the callback information, as we went over the limit of 4 direct client-data values for NRE callbacks. The above fixes [Bug 1605269]. 2009-07-12 Donal K.

We only need it there long enough for the right TclInitCompileEnv() call to re-stash it into envPtr->procPtr. Once that is done, the CompileEnv controls. If we let the value of iPtr->compiledProcPtr linger, though, then any other bytecode compile operation that takes place will also have its CompileEnv initialized with it, and that's not correct. The value is meant to control the compile of the proc body only, not other compile tasks that happen along.

Diagnosis and fix thanks to GPS. 2009-03-09 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TryObjCmd, TclNRTryObjCmd): Moved the implementation of [try] from Tcl code into C.

[Bug 2613766]: Also added checks to only perform "bytearray" optimization on pure bytearray values. * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Since Tcl_GetCharLength() has its own * generic/tclExecute.c: optimizations for the tclByteArrayType, stop having the callers do them. 2009-02-24 Donal K.

Those were speed * tests/binary.test: tests, that are inherently brittle. 2009-02-21 Don Porter * generic/tclStringObj.c: Several revisions to the shimmering patterns between Unicode and UTF string reps. Most notably the call: objPtr = Tcl_NewUnicodeObj(...,0); followed by a loop of calls: Tcl_AppendUnicodeToObj(objPtr, u, n); will now grow and append to the Unicode representation. Before this commit, the sequence would convert each append to UTF and perform the append to the UTF rep. This is puzzling and likely a bug. The performance of [string map] is significantly improved by this change (according to the MAP collection of benchmarks in tclbench). Just in case there was some wisdom in the old ways that I missed, I left in the ability to restore the old patterns with a #define COMPAT 1 at the top of the file. 2009-02-20 Don Porter * generic/tclPathObj.c: Fixed mistaken logic in TclFSGetPathType() * tests/fileName.test: that assumed (not "absolute" => "relative"). This is a false assumption on Windows, where "volumerelative" is another possibility. [Bug 2571597] 2009-02-18 Don Porter * generic/tclStringObj.c: Simplify the logic of the Tcl_*SetObjLength() routines. * generic/tclStringObj.c: Rewrite GrowStringBuffer() so that it has parallel structure with GrowUnicodeBuffer(). The revision permits allocation attempts to continue all the way up to failure, with no gap. It also directly manipulates the String and Tcl_Obj internals instead of inefficiently operating via Tcl_*SetObjLength() with all of its extra protections and underdocumented special cases. * generic/tclStringObj.c: Another round of simplification on the allocation macros. 2009-02-17 Jeff Hobbs * win/tcl.m4, win/configure: Check if cl groks _WIN64 already to avoid CC manipulation that can screw up later configure checks. Use 'd'ebug runtime in 64-bit builds. 2009-02-17 Don Porter * generic/tclStringObj.c: Pare back the length of the unicode array in a non-extended String struct to one Tcl_UniChar, meant to hold the terminating NUL character. Non-empty unicode strings are then stored by extending the String struct by stringPtr->maxChars additional slots in that array with sizeof(Tcl_UniChar) bytes per slot. This revision makes the allocation macros much simpler. * generic/tclStringObj.c: Factor out common GrowUnicodeBuffer() and solve overflow and growth algorithm fallbacks in it. * generic/tclStringObj.c: Factor out common GrowStringBuffer(). * generic/tclStringObj.c: Convert Tcl_AppendStringsToObj into * tests/stringObj.test: a radically simpler implementation where we just loop over calls to Tcl_AppendToObj. This fixes [Bug 2597185]. It also creates a *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** in that T_ASTO can now allocate more space than is strictly required, like all the other Tcl_Append* routines. The incompatibility was detected by test stringObj-6.5, which I've updated to reflect the new behavior. * generic/tclStringObj.c: Revise buffer growth implementation in ExtendStringRepWithUnicode. Use cheap checks to determine that no reallocation is necessary without cost of computing the precise number of bytes needed. Also make use of the string growth algortihm in the case of repeated appends. 2009-02-16 Jan Nijtmans * generic/tclZlib.c: hack needed for official zlib1.dll build. * win/configure.in: fix [Feature Request 2605263] use official * win/Makefile.in: zlib build. * win/configure: (regenerated) * compat/zlib/zdll.lib: new files * compat/zlib/zlib1.dll: * win/Makefile.in: fix [Bug 2605232] tdbc doesn't build when Tcl is compiled with --disable-shared. 2009-02-15 Don Porter * generic/tclStringObj.c: Added protections from invalid memory * generic/tclTestObj.c: accesses when we append (some part of) * tests/stringObj.test: a Tcl_Obj to itself. Added the appendself and appendself2 subcommands to the [teststringobj] testing command and added tests to the test suite. [Bug 2603158] * generic/tclStringObj.c: Factor out duplicate code from Tcl_AppendObjToObj. * generic/tclStringObj.c: Replace the 'size_t uallocated' field of the String struct, storing the number of bytes allocated to store the Tcl_UniChar array, with an 'int maxChars' field, storing the number of Tcl_UniChars that may be stored in the allocated space. This reduces memory requirement a small bit, and makes some range checks simpler to code. * generic/tclTestObj.c: Replace the [teststringobj ualloc] testing * tests/stringObj.test: command with [teststringobj maxchars] and update the tests. * generic/tclStringObj.c: Removed limitation in Tcl_AppendObjToObj where the char length of the result was only computed if the appended string was all single byte characters. This limitation was in place to dodge a bug in Tcl_GetUniChar. With that bug gone, we can take advantage of always recording the length of append results when we know it. 2009-02-14 Don Porter * generic/tclStringObj.c: Revisions so that we avoid creating the strange representation of an empty string with objPtr->bytes == NULL and stringPtr->hasUnicode == 0. Instead in the situations where that was being created, create a traditional two-legged stork representation (objPtr->bytes = tclEmptyStringRep and stringPtr->hasUnicode = 1). In the situations where the strange rep was treated differently, continue to do so by testing stringPtr->numChars == 0 to detect it. These changes make the code more conventional so easier for new maintainers to pick up. Also sets up further simplifications. * generic/tclTestObj.c: Revise updates to [teststringobj] so we don't get blocked by MODULE_SCOPE limits. 2009-02-12 Don Porter * generic/tclStringObj.c: Rewrites of the routines Tcl_GetCharLength, Tcl_GetUniChar, Tcl_GetUnicodeFromObj, Tcl_GetRange, and TclStringObjReverse to use the new macro, and to more simply and clearly split the cases depending on whether a valid unicode rep is present or needs to be created. New utility routine UnicodeLength(), to compute the length of unicode buffer arguments when no length is passed in, with built-in overflow protection included. Update three callers to use it. * generic/tclInt.h: New macro TclNumUtfChars meant to be a faster replacement for a full Tcl_NumUtfChars() call when the string has all single-byte characters. * generic/tclStringObj.c: Simplified Tcl_GetCharLength by * generic/tclTestObj.c: removing code that did nothing. Added early returns from Tcl_*SetObjLength when the desired length is already present; adapted test command to the change. * generic/tclStringObj.c: Re-implemented AppendUtfToUnicodeRep so that we no longer pass through Tcl_DStrings which have their own sets of problems when lengths overflow the int range. Now AUTUR and FillUnicodeRep share a common core routine. 2009-02-12 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclOODefineCmds.c (TclOOGetDefineCmdContext): Use the correct field in the Interp structure for retrieving the frame to get the context object so that people can extend [oo::define] without deep shenanigans. Bug found by Federico Ferri. 2009-02-11 Don Porter * generic/tclStringObj.c: Re-implemented AppendUnicodeToUtfRep so that we no longer pass through Tcl_DStrings which have their own sets of problems when lengths overflow the int range. Now AUTUR and UpdateStringOfString share a common core routine. * generic/tclStringObj.c: Changed type of the 'allocated' field * generic/tclTestObj.c: of the String struct (and the TestString counterpart) from size_t to int since only int values are ever stored in it. 2009-02-10 Jan Nijtmans * generic/tclEncoding.c Eliminate some unnessary type casts * generic/tclEvent.c some internal const decorations * generic/tclExecute.c spacing * generic/tclIndexObj.c * generic/tclInterp.c * generic/tclIO.c * generic/tclIOCmd.c * generic/tclIORChan.c * generic/tclIOUtil.c * generic/tclListObj.c * generic/tclLiteral.c * generic/tclNamesp.c * generic/tclObj.c * generic/tclOOBasic.c * generic/tclPathObj.c * generic/tclPkg.c * generic/tclProc.c * generic/tclRegexp.c * generic/tclScan.c * generic/tclStringObj.c * generic/tclTest.c * generic/tclTestProcBodyObj.c * generic/tclThread.c * generic/tclThreadTest.c * generic/tclTimer.c * generic/tclTrace.c * generic/tclUtil.c * generic/tclVar.c * generic/tclStubInit.c (regenerated) 2009-02-10 Jan Nijtmans * unix/tcl.m4: fix [tcl-Bug 2502365] Building of head on HPUX is broken when using the native CC. * unix/configure (autoconf-2.59) 2009-02-10 Don Porter * generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetString): Added comments and validity checks following the call to an UpdateStringProc. * generic/tclStringObj.c: Reduce code duplication in Tcl_GetUnicode*. Restrict AppendUtfToUtfRep to non-negative length appends. Convert all Tcl_InvalidateStringRep() calls into macros. Simplify Tcl_AttemptSetObjLength by removing unreachable code. Simplify SetStringFromAny() by removing unreachable and duplicate code. Simplify Tcl_SetObjLength by removing unreachable code. Removed handling of (objPtr->bytes != NULL) from UpdateStringOfString, which is only called when objPtr->bytes is NULL. 2009-02-09 Jan Nijtmans * generic/tclCompile.c: fix [Bug 2555129] const compiler warning (as error) in tclCompile.c 2009-02-07 Donal K.

Part of scheme to address [Bug 1665628] by making the basic string operations more efficient on byte arrays. (Tcl_GetCharLength, Tcl_GetUniChar, Tcl_GetRange): More special casing work for bytearrays. 2009-02-04 Don Porter * generic/tclStringObj.c: Added overflow protections to the AppendUtfToUtfRep routine to either avoid invalid arguments and crashes, or to replace them with controlled panics. [Bug 2561794] * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Prevent crashes due to int overflow of the length of the result of [string repeat].

Also factored out common code to reduce duplication. * generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetStringFromObj): Reduce code duplication. 2009-02-02 Don Porter * generic/tclInterp.c: Reverted the conversion of [interp] into an * tests/interp.test: ensemble. Such conversion is not necessary * tests/nre.test: (or even all that helpful) in the NRE-enabling of [interp invokehidden], and it has other implications -- including significant forkage of the 8.5 and 8.6 implementations -- that are better off avoided if there's no gain. * generic/tclStringObj.c (STRING_NOMEM): [Bug 2494093]: Add missing cast of NULL to (char *) that upsets some compilers. * generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_(Attempt)SetObjLength): [Bug 2553906]: Added protections against callers asking for negative lengths.

Kenny * unix/Makefile.in: Added a CONFIG_INSTALL_DIR parameter so that * unix/tcl.m4: distributors can control where tclConfig.sh goes. Made the installation of 'ldAix' conditional upon actually being on an AIX system. Allowed for downstream packagers to customize SHLIB_VERSION on BSD-derived systems. Thanks to Stuart Cassoff for [Patch 907924]. * unix/configure: Autoconf 2.59 2009-01-19 David Gravereaux * win/build.vc.bat: Improved tools detection and error message * win/makefile.vc: Reorganized the $(TCLOBJ) file list into seperate parts for easier maintenance. Matched all sources built using -GL to both $(lib) and $(link) to use -LTCG and avoid a warning message. Addressed the over-building nature of the htmlhelp target by moving from a pseudo target to a real target dependent on the entire docs/ directory contents. * win/nmakehlp.c: Removed -g option and GrepForDefine() func as it isn't being used anymore. The -V option method is much better. 2009-01-16 Don Porter * generic/tcl.h: Bump patchlevel to 8.6b1.1 to distinguish * library/init.tcl: CVS snapshots from the 8.6b1 and 8.6b2 releases * unix/configure.in: and to deal with the fact that the 8.6b1 * win/configure.in: version of init.tcl will not [source] in the HEAD version of Tcl. * unix/configure: autoconf-2.59 * win/configure: 2009-01-14 Don Porter * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken): Reverted most of the substance of my 2009-01-12 commit. NULLing the objProc field of a Command when deleting it is important so that tests for certain classes of commands don't return false positives when applied to deleted command tokens. Overall change is now just replacement of a false comment with a true one. 2009-01-13 Jan Nijtmans * unix/tcl.m4: fix [tcl-Bug 2502365] Building of head on HPUX is broken when using the native CC. * unix/configure (autoconf-2.59) 2009-01-13 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_ThrowObjCmd): Move implementation of [throw] * library/init.tcl (throw): to C from Tcl. 2009-01-12 Don Porter * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken): One consequence of the NRE rewrite is that there are now situations where a NULL objProc field in a Command struct is perfectly normal. Removed an outdated comment in Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken that claimed we use cmdPtr->objPtr==NULL as a test of command validity. In fact we use cmdPtr->flags&CMD_IS_DELETED to perform that test. Also removed the setting to NULL, since any extension following the advice of the old comment is going to be broken by NRE anyway, and needs to shift to flag-based testing (or stop intruding into such internal matters). Part of [Bug 2486550]. 2009-01-09 Don Porter * generic/tclStringObj.c (STRING_SIZE): Corrected failure to limit memory allocation requests to the sizes that can be supported by Tcl's memory allocation routines.

Fellows * doc/dict.n: Added more examples. [Tk Bug 2491235] * tests/oo.test (oo-22.1): Adjusted test to be less dependent on the specifics of how [info frame] reports general frame information, and instead to focus on what methods add to it; that's really what the test is about anyway. 2009-01-06 Don Porter * tests/stringObj.test: Revise tests that demand a NULL Tcl_ObjType in certain values to construct those values with [testdstring] so there's no lack of robustness depending on the shimmer history of shared literals. 2009-01-06 Donal K.

If the argument object is empty, this gives the previous semantics. (Tcl_ZlibStreamChecksum): Corrected name to be less misleading; it only produced Adler-32 checksums when the stream was processing the right type of compressed data format. (Tcl_ZlibAdler32, Tcl_ZlibCRC32): Corrected types so that they work naturally with the results of Tcl_GetByteArrayFromObj(). *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** for all above changes, but very unlikely to be difficult for anyone to deal with. 2008-12-26 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tcl.decls: Tidy up the commenting style, adding markers for each of the big release points under TCT stewardship and noting the general purpose of each TIP that added C API. Overall effect is to make this file much more informative to read without having to spend effort correlating with TIPs and ChangeLogs. 2008-12-23 Jan Nijtmans * win/Makefile.in: Fix build of zlib objects with msvc * win/tcl.m4: * win/configure: autoconf-2.59 2008-12-23 Donal K.

Kenny * win/Makefile.in: Renamed the static library libtcl86s.a to * win/configure.in: have a name distinct from the import library libtcl86.a. This renaming dodges an ancient bug in the Makefile revealed by the last commit where the $(TCL_LIB_FILE) rule can fire to try to build the static library in a --enable-shared build (and create a static library that subsequently fails to link). Revised the zlib objects so that they are built directly into the build dir, without building an intermediate static library. *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** for embedders who link to the static library, but I couldn't figure out how to sort this out any other way. * win/configure: Autoconf 2.59 2008-12-20 Donal K.

[FRQ 1446696] Note that some of the type signatures are changed a bit from the proposed implementation so that they better reflect codified good practice for argument order. 2008-10-02 Andreas Kupries * tests/info.test (info-23.3): Updated output of the test to handle the NRE-enabled eval and the proper propagation of location information through it. [Bug 2017632] * doc/info.n: Rephrased the documentation of 'info frame' for positive numbers as level argument. [Bug 2134049] * tests/info.test (info-22.8): Made pattern for file containing tcltest less specific to accept both .tcl and .tm variants of the file during matching.

These are then mapped in using a variable resolver. This makes many class declarations much simpler overall, encourages good usage of variable names, and also boosts speed a bit. * generic/tclOOMethod.c (TclOOGetMethodBody): Factor out the code to get the body of a procedure-like method. Reduces the amount of "poking inside the abstraction" that is done by the introspection code. 2008-09-22 Alexandre Ferrieux * doc/chan.n: Clean up paragraph order. 2008-09-18 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclExecute.c (NEXT_INST_F): * generic/tclInt.h (TCL_CT_ASSERT): New compile-time assertions, adapted from www.pixelbeat.org/programming/gcc/static_assert.html 2008-09-17 Don Porter * generic/tclInt.h: Correct the TclGetLongFromObj, TclGetIntFromObj, and TclGetIntForIndexM macros so that they retrieve the longValue field from the internalRep instead of casting the otherValuePtr field to type long. 2008-09-17 Miguel Sofer * library/init.tcl: Export min and max commands from the mathfunc namespace. [Bug 2116053] 2008-09-16 Joe Mistachkin * generic/tclParse.c: Move TclResetCancellation to be called on returning to level 0, as opposed to it being called on starting a substitution at level 0. 2008-09-16 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclBasic.c: Move TclResetCancellation to be called on returning to level 0, as opposed to it being called on starting a command at level 0. Add a call on returning via Tcl_EvalObjEx to fix [Bug 2114165]. 2008-09-10 Donal K.

[Bug 2102930] 2008-09-10 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclListObj.c (Tcl_ListObjGetElements): Make this list->dict transformation - encountered when using [foreach] with dicts - not as expensive as it was before. Spotted by Kieran Elby and reported on tcl-core. 2008-09-08 Donal K.

[Bug 2093188] 2008-09-02 Don Porter * generic/tcl.h: Stripped "callers" of the _ANSI_ARGS_ macro * compat/dirent2.h: to support a TCL_NO_DEPRECATED build. * compat/dlfcn.h: * unix/tclUnixPort.h: * generic/tcl.h: Removed the conditional #define of _ANSI_ARGS_ that would support pre-prototype C compilers. Since _ANSI_ARGS_ is no longer used in tclDecls.h, it's clear no one compiling against Tcl 8.5 headers is making use of a -DNO_PROTOTYPES configuration. 2008-09-02 Donal K. Fellows * tests/socket.test: Rewrote so as to use tcltest2 better. 2008-09-01 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclCmdAH.c: NRE-enabling [eval]; eval scripts are now * generic/tclOOBasic.c: bytecompiled.

Issue reported on Tcler's Chat. 2008-08-26 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclBasic.c (InfoCoroutine): * tests/unsupported.test: New command that returns the FQN of the currently executing coroutine. Lives as infoCoroutine under unsupported, but is designed to become a subcommand of [info] 2008-08-23 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclBasic.c (NRInterpCoroutine): Store the caller's eePtr, stop assuming the coroutine is invoked from the same execEnv where it was created. 2008-08-24 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclCmdAH.c (TclNRForeachCmd): Converted the [foreach] command to have an NRE-aware non-compiled implementation. Part of the [Bug 2017632] project. Also restructured the code so as to manage its temporary memory more efficiently. 2008-08-23 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclBasic.c: Removed unused var; fixed function pointer * generic/tclOOInt.h: declarations (why did gcc start complaining * generic/tclOOMethod.c: all of a sudden?) * generic/tclProc.c: 2008-08-23 Donal K.

Part of the [Bug 2017632] project. 2008-08-22 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclBasic.c: * generic/tclExecute.c: Set special errocodes: COROUTINE_BUSY, COROUTINE_CANT_YIELD, COROUTINE_ILLEGAL_YIELD. 2008-08-22 Don Porter *** 8.6a2 TAGGED FOR RELEASE *** * changes: Updates for 8.6a2 release. * generic/tcl.h: Drop use of USE_COMPAT85_CONST. That added indirection without value. Use -DCONST86="" to engage source compat support for code written for 8.5 headers. * generic/tclUtil.c (TclReToGlob): Added missing set of the *exactPtr value to really fix [Bug 2065115]. Also avoid possible DString overflow. * tests/regexpComp.test: Correct duplicate test names. 2008-08-21 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclBasic.c: Previous fix, now done right. * generic/tclCmdIL.c: * generic/tclInt.h: * tests/unsupported.test: 2008-08-21 Jeff Hobbs * tests/regexp.test, tests/regexpComp.test: Correct re2glob ***= * generic/tclUtil.c (TclReToGlob): translation from exact to anywhere-in-string match. [Bug 2065115] 2008-08-21 Don Porter * generic/tcl.h: Reduced the use of CONST86 and eliminated * generic/tcl.decls: the use of CONST86_RETURN to support source code compatibility with Tcl 8.5 on those public routines passing (Tcl_Filesystem *), (Tcl_Timer *), and (Tcl_Objtype *) values which have been const-ified. What remains is the minimum configurability needed to support code written for pre-8.6 headers via the new -DUSE_COMPAT85_CONST compiler directive. *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** * generic/tclDecls.h: make genstubs 2008-08-21 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclBasic.c: Fix the cmdFrame level count in * generic/tclCmdIL.c: coroutines. Fix small bug on coroutine * generic/tclInt.h: rewind. 2008-08-21 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclProc.c (Tcl_DisassembleObjCmd): Added ability to disassemble TclOO methods. The code to do this is very ugly. 2008-08-21 Pat Thoyts * generic/tclOOMethod.c: Added casts to make MSVC happy * generic/tclBasic.c: 2008-08-20 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclOO.c (AllocObject): Suppress compilation of commands in the namespace allocated for each object. * generic/tclOOMethod.c (PushMethodCallFrame): Restore some of the hackery that makes calling methods of classes fast.

Note that this change also now allows Tcl Modules to not provide a 'provide' command at all, and declaring their version only through their filename. * generic/tclProc.c (Tcl_ProcObjCmd): Fixed memory leak triggered by * tests/proc.test: procbody::test::proc. See [Bug 2043636]. Added a test case demonstrating the leak before the fix. Fixed a few spelling errors in test descriptions as well. 2008-08-11 Don Porter * library/http/http.tcl: Bump http version to 2.7.1 to account * library/http/pkgIndex.tcl: for [Bug 2046486] bug fix.

Thanks dgp for catching this. 2008-07-29 Miguel Sofer * tests/NRE.test: New tests that went MIA in the NRE revamping * generic/tclBasic.c: Clean up * generic/tclNRE.h: * generic/tclExecute.c: * generic/tclBasic.c: Made use of the thread's alloc cache stored in * generic/tclInt.h: the ekeko at interp creation to avoid hitting * generic/tclNRE.h: the TSD each time an NRE callback is pushed or * generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: pulled; the approach is suitably general to extend to every other obj allocation where an interp is know; this is left for some other time, requires a lot of grunt work. * generic/tclExecute.c: Fix [Bug 2030670] that cause TclStackRealloc to panic on rare corner cases. Thx ajpasadyn for diagnose and patch. * generic/tcl.decls: Completely revamped NRE implementation, with * generic/tclBasic.c: (almost) unchanged API. * generic/tclCompile.h: * generic/tclExecute.c: TEBC will require a bit of a facelift, but * generic/tclInt.decls: TEOV at least looks great now. There are new * generic/tclInt.h: tests (incomplete!) to verify that execution * generic/tclInterp.c: is indeed in the same TEBC instance, at the * generic/tclNRE.h: same level in all stacks involved. Tailcalls * generic/tclNamesp.c: are still a bit leaky, still deserving to be * generic/tclOOBasic.c: in tcl::unsupported. * generic/tclOOMethod.c: * generic/tclProc.c: Uninit'd var warnings in TEBC with -O2, no * generic/tclTest.c: warnings otherwise. 2008-07-28 Jan Nijtmans * doc/FileSystem.3: CONSTified many functions using * generic/tcl.decls: Tcl_FileSystem which all are supposed * generic/tclDecls.h: to be a constant, but this was not * generic/tclFileSystem.h: reflected in the API: Tcl_FSData, * generic/tclIOUtil.c: Tcl_FSGetInternalRep, Tcl_FSRegister, * generic/tclPathObj.c: Tcl_FSNewNativePath, Tcl_FSUnregister, * generic/tclTest.c: Tcl_FSGetFileSystemForPath ... This change complies with TIP #27. ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** 2008-07-28 Andreas Kupries * generic/tclBasic.c: Added missing ref count when creating an empty string as path (TclEvalEx). In 8.4 the missing code caused panics in the testsuite. It doesn't in 8.5. I am guessing that the code path with the missing the incr-refcount is not invoked any longer. Because the bug in itself is certainly the same. 2008-07-27 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclOOMethod.c (PushMethodCallFrame): Remove hack that should have gone when this code was merged into Tcl. 2008-07-27 Jan Nijtmans * doc/Object.3: CONSTified 3 functions using Tcl_ObjType * doc/ObjectType.3: which all are supposed to be a constant, but * generic/tcl.decls: this was not reflected in the API: * generic/tcl.h: Tcl_RegisterObjType, Tcl_ConvertToType, * generic/tclDecls.h: Tcl_GetObjType * generic/tclObj.c: Introduced a CONST86_RETURN, so extensions * generic/tclCompCmds.c: which use Tcl_ObjType directly can be * generic/tclOOMethod.c: modified to compile against both Tcl 8.5 and * generic/tclTestobj.c: Tcl 8.6. tclDecls.h regenerated This change complies with TIP #27. ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** 2008-07-25 Andreas Kupries * test/info.test: More work on singleTestInterp usability. [1605269] * tests/info.test: Tests 38.* added, exactly testing the tracking of location for uplevel scripts. Resolved merge conflict on info-37.0, switched !singleTestInterp constraint to glob matching instead. Ditto info-22.8, removed constraint, more glob matching, and reduced the depth of the stack we check. More is coming, right now I want to commit the bug fixes. * tests/oo.test: Updated oo-22.1 for expanded location tracking. * generic/tclCompile.c (TclInitCompileEnv): Reorganized the initialization of the #280 location information to match the flow in TclEvalObjEx to get more absolute contexts. * generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalObjEx): Added missing cleanup of extended location information. 2008-07-25 Daniel Steffen * tests/info.test (info-37.0): Add !singleTestInterp constraint; (info-22.8, info-23.0): switch to glob matching to avoid sensitivity to tcltest.tcl line number changes, remove knownBug constraint, fix expected result. [Bug 1605269] 2008-07-24 Jan Nijtmans * doc/Notifier.3: CONSTified 4 functions in the Notifier which * doc/Thread.3: all have a Tcl_Time* in it which is supposed * generic/tcl.decls: to be a constant, but this was not reflected * generic/tcl.h: reflected in the API: * generic/tclDecls.h: Tcl_SetTimer, Tcl_WaitForEvent, * generic/tclNotify.c: Tcl_ConditionWait, Tcl_SetMaxBlockTime * macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: * generic/tclThread.c: Introduced a CONST86, so extensions which have * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: have their own Notifier (are there any?) can * unix/tclUnixThrd.c: can be modified to compile against both Tcl * win/tclWinNotify.c: Tcl 8.5 and Tcl 8.6 * win/tclWinThrd.c: Regenerated tclDecls.h with "make stubs". This change complies with TIP #27 ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** 2008-07-23 Alexandre Ferrieux * tests/lrange.test: Added relative speed test to check for lrange in-place optimization committed 2008-06-30. * tests/binary.test: Added relative speed test to check for pure byte array CONCAT1 optimization committed 2008-06-30. 2008-07-23 Andreas Kupries * tests/info.test: Reordered the tests to have monotonously increasing numbers. * generic/tclBasic.c: Modified TclArgumentGet to reject pure lists * generic/tclCmdIL.c: immediately, without search. Reworked setup of * generic/tclCompile.c: eoFramePtr, doesn't need the line information, * tests/info.test: more sensible to have everything on line 1 when eval'ing a pure list. Updated the users of the line information to special case this based on the frame type (i.e. TCL_LOCATION_EVAL_LIST). Added a testcase demonstrating the new behaviour. 2008-07-23 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclBasic.c (GetCommandSource): Added comment with explanation and warning for waintainers. 2008-07-22 Andreas Kupries * generic/tclCompile.c: Made the new TclEnterCmdWordIndex static, and * generic/tclCompile.h: ansified. * generic/tclBasic.c: Ansified the new functions. Added missing function comments. * generic/tclBasic.c: Reworked the handling of bytecode literals for * generic/tclCompile.c: #280 to fix the abysmal performance for deep * generic/tclCompile.h: recursion, replaced the linear search through * generic/tclExecute.c: the whole stack with another hashtable and * generic/tclInt.h: simplified the data structure used by the compiler by using an array instead of a hashtable. Incidentially this also fixes the memory leak reported via [Bug 2024937]. 2008-07-22 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclBasic.c: Added numLevels field to CommandFrame, let * generic/tclExecute.c: GetCommandSource use it. This solves [Bug * generic/tclInt.h: 2017146]. Thx dgp for the analysis. 2008-07-21 Andreas Kupries * generic/tclBasic.c: Extended the existing TIP #280 system (info * generic/tclCmdAH.c: frame), added the ability to track the absolute * generic/tclCompCmds.c: location of literal procedure arguments, and * generic/tclCompile.c: making this information available to uplevel * generic/tclCompile.h: eval, and siblings. This allows proper * generic/tclInterp.c: tracking of absolute location through custom * generic/tclInt.h: (Tcl-coded) control structures based on uplevel, * generic/tclNamesp.c: etc. * generic/tclProc.c: * tests/info.test: 2008-07-21 Jan Nijtmans * generic/*.c: Fix [2021443] inconsistant "wrong # args" messages * win/tclWinReg.c * win/tclWinTest.c * tests/*.test 2008-07-21 Alexandre Ferrieux TIP #304 IMPLEMENTATION * generic/tcl.decls: Public API * generic/tclIOCmds.c: Generic part * unix/tclUnixPipe.c: OS part * win/tclWinPipe.c: OS part * tests/chan.test: [chan pipe] tests * tests/ioCmd.test: Modernized checks * tests/ioTrans.test: 2008-07-21 Pat Thoyts * generic/tclFCmd.c: Inodes on windows are unreliable. [Bug 2015723] * tests/winFCmd.test: test rename with inode collision 2008-07-21 Miguel Sofer * generic/tcl.decls: Changed the implementation of * generic/tclBasic.c: [namespace import]; removed * generic/tclDecls.h: Tcl_NRObjProc, replaced with * generic/tclExecute.c: Tcl_NRCmdSwap (proposed public * generic/tclInt.h: NRE API). This should fix * generic/tclNRE.h: [Bug 582506]. * generic/tclNamesp.c: * generic/tclStubInit.c: * generic/tclBasic.c: NRE: enabled calling NR commands * generic/tclExecute.c: from the callbacks. Completely * generic/tclInt.h: redone tailcall implementation * generic/tclNRE.h: using the new feature. [Bug 2021489] * generic/tclProc.c: * tests/NRE.test: 2008-07-20 Kevin B. Kenny * tests/fileName.test: Repaired the failing test fileName-15.7 from dkf's commit earlier today. 2008-07-20 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclDictObj.c (SetDictFromAny): Make the list->dict transformation a bit more efficient; modern dicts are ordered and so we can round-trip through lists without needing the string rep at all. * generic/tclListObj.c (SetListFromAny): Make the dict->list transformation not lossy of internal representations and hence more efficient. [Bug 2008248] (ajpasadyn) but using a more efficient patch. * tests/fileName.test: Revise to reduce the obscurity of tests. In particular, all tests should now produce informative messages on failure and the quantity of [catch]-based obscurity is now greatly reduced; non-erroring is now checked for directly. 2008-07-19 Donal K. Fellows * tests/env.test: Add LANG to the list of variables that are not touched by the environment variable tests, so that subprocesses can get their system encoding correct. * tests/exec.test, tests/env.test: Rewrite so that non-ASCII characters are not used in the final comparison. Part of fixing [Bug 1513659]. 2008-07-18 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclBasic.c: Optimization: replace calls to * generic/tclDictObj.c: Tcl_NRAddCallback with the macro * generic/tclExecute.c: TclNRAddCallback. * generic/tclInterp.c: * generic/tclNRE.h: * generic/tclNamesp.c: * generic/tclOO.c: * generic/tclOOBasic.c: * generic/tclOOCall.c: * generic/tclOOInt.h: * generic/tclOOMethod.c: * generic/tclProc.c: 2008-07-18 Donal K.

Fellows * generic/tclDictObj.c (DictWithCmd, FinalizeDictWith): Split the implementation of [dict with] so that it works with NRE. (DictUpdateCmd, FinalizeDictUpdate): Similarly for the non-compiled version of [dict update]. 2008-07-16 George Peter Staplin * win/tclWinThrd.c: Test for TLS_OUT_OF_INDEXES to make certain that thread key creation is successful. 2008-07-16 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclOO.c, generic/tclOOInt.h, generic/tclOOBasic.c: * generic/tclOOCall.c, generic/tclOOMethod.c: NRE-enable the TclOO implementation in Tcl. No change to public APIs, except that method implementations can now be NRE-aware if they choose (which normal methods and forwards are). On the other hand, callers of TclOOInvokeObject (which is only in the internal stub table) will need to deal with the fact that it's only safe to call inside an NRE-aware context. ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** 2008-07-15 Miguel Sofer * tests/NRE.test: Better constraint for testing the existence of * tests/stack.test: teststacklimit, to insure that the test suite runs under tclsh. * generic/tclParse.c: Fixing incomplete reversion of "fix" for [Bug 2017583], missing TclResetCancellation call. 2008-07-15 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CancelEval): Fix blunder. [Bug 2018603] * doc/DictObj.3: Fix error in example. [Bug 2016740] * generic/tclNamesp.c (EnsembleUnknownCallback): Factor out some of the more complex parts of the ensemble code to make it easier to understand and hence to permit tighter compilation of code on the critical path. 2008-07-14 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclParse.c: Reverting the "fix" for [Bug 2017583], numLevel * tests/parse.test: management and TclInterpReady check seems to be necessary after all. 2008-07-14 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclProc.c (TclNRApplyObjCmd, TclObjInterpProcCore): * generic/tclBasic.c (TclNR_AddCallback, TclEvalObjv_NR2): * generic/tclNRE.h (TEOV_callback): Change the callback storage type to use an array, so guaranteeing correct inter-member spacing and memory layout. 2008-07-14 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclExecute.c: Remove unneeded TclInterpReady calls * generic/tclParse.c: * generic/tclBasic.c.: Embedded Tcl_Canceled() calls into * generic/tclExecute.c: TclInterpReady(). * generic/tclParse.c: * generic/tclVar.c: Fix error message * generic/tclParse.c: Remove unnecessary numLevel management * tests/parse.test: [Bug 2017583] * generic/tclBasic.c.: NRE left too many calls to * generic/tclExecute.c: TclResetCancellation lying around: it * generic/tclProc.c: only needs to be called prior to any iPtr->numLevels++.

Thanks to Miguel for the report and Don Porter for tracking the cause down. 2008-07-03 Don Porter * library/package.tcl: Removed [file readable] testing from [tclPkgUnknown] and friends. We find out soon enough whether a file is readable when we try to [source] it, and not testing before allows us to workaround the bugs on some common filesystems where [file readable] lies to us. [Patch 1969717] 2008-07-01 Donal K. Fellows * generic/regc_nfa.c (duptraverse): Impose a maximum stack depth on the single most recursive part of the RE engine.

Prevent [catch] from catching script cancellation when the TCL_CANCEL_UNWIND flag is set (similar to the manner used by TIP 143 when a limit has been exceeded). * generic/tclInt.decls: Added TclResetCancellation to the internal stubs table. * generic/tclInt.h: Added asyncCancel and asyncCancelMsg fields to the private Interp structure. Added private interp flag value CANCELED to help control script cancellation. * generic/tclIntDecls.h: Regenerated. * generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_InterpObjCmd): Added [interp cancel] subcommand. * generic/tclNotify.c (Tcl_DeleteEventSource): Corrected the spelling of 'canceled' in comments to be consistent with the documentation. * generic/tclParse.c: Reset script cancellation flags prior to * generic/tclProc.c: increasing the nesting level (if the nesting level is currently zero) and cooperatively check for script cancellation prior to evaluating commands. * generic/tclStubInit.c: Regenerated. * generic/tclThreadTest.c (Tcl_ThreadObjCmd): Added script cancellation support ([testthread cancel]). Modified [testthread id] to allow querying of the 'main' thread ID. Corrected comments to reflect the actual command syntax. Made [testthread wait] cooperatively check for script cancellation. Added [testthread event] to allow for processing one pending event without blocking. * generic/tclTimer.c: Delay for a maximum of 500 milliseconds prior to checking for async handlers and script cancellation. * tests/cmdAH.test: Changed [interp c] to [interp create]. * tests/interp.test: Added and fixed tests for [interp cancel]. * tests/thread.test: Added tests for script cancellation via [testthread cancel]. * tools/man2help2.tcl: Fixed problems with WinHelp target (see * tools/man2tcl.c: [Bug 1934200], [Bug 1934265], and [Bug 1934272]). * win/makefile.vc: Added 'pdbs' option for Windows build rules to * win/rules.vc: allow for non-debug builds with full symbols. * win/tcl.hpj.in: Corrected version for WinHelp target. * win/tclWinNotify.c: Used SleepEx and WaitForSingleObjectEx on * win/tclWinThrd.c: Windows because they are alertable. 2008-06-12 Daniel Steffen * unix/Makefile.in: Add complete deps on tclDTrace.h. * generic/tclOO.c: Use TclOOStubs hooks field to retrieve * generic/tclOODecls.h: TclOOIntStubs pointer.

See [Bug 1908443] for details. 2008-06-10 Andreas Kupries * tests/ioTrans.test (iortrans.tf-6.1): Fixed the [Bug 1988552], reported by Kevin. Have to close the channel before removal of the file. Fixed same bug in test 'iortrans.tf-11.0', after fixing missing cleanup of the file in 'iortrans.tf-11.*'. Lastly fixed the names of the threaded tests 'iortrans-8.*' to the correct 'iortrans.tf-8.*'. 2008-06-09 Andreas Kupries * generic/tclIORTrans.c (ReflectInput): Fixed a bug triggered by Pat Thoyts . Reset the EOF flag after draining the Tcl level into the result buffer, to make sure that the result buffer will be drained as well by repeated calls to ReflectInput should it contain more than one buffer-full of data. Without that reset the higher I/O system will not call on ReflectInput anymore due to the assumed EOF, thus losing the data which did not fit in the buffer of the call which caused the eof and drain. 2008-06-09 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclOOCall.c (TclOOGetSortedMethodList): Plug memory leak that occurred when all methods were hidden. [Bug 1987817] 2008-06-08 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclBasic.c: Compilation of uplevel scripts, allow * generic/tclCompCmds.c: non-body compiled scripts to access the * generic/tclCompile.c: LVT (but not to extend it) and enable the * generic/tclCompile.h: canonical list opt to sidestep the * generic/tclExecute.c: compiler.

NOTE: The file 'tclIORTrans.c' has a lot of code in common with the file 'tclIORChan.c', as that made it much easier to develop the reference implementation as a separate module. Now that the transforms have been committed the one thing left to do is to go over both modules and see which of the common parts we can factor out and share. 2008-06-04 Pat Thoyts * generic/tclBinary.c: TIP #317 implementation * tests/binary.test: 2008-06-02 Kevin B. Kenny * generic/tclOO.c (ReleaseClassContents): Fix the one remaining valgrind complaint about oo.test, caused by failing to protect the Object as well as the Class corresponding to a subclass being deleted and hence getting a freed-memory read when attempting to delete the class command. [Bug 1981001] 2008-06-01 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclOOMethod.c (Tcl_NewMethod): Complete the fix of [Bug 1981001], previous fix was incomplete though helpful in telling me where to look. 2008-06-01 Joe Mistachkin * win/Makefile.in: Add tclOO genstubs to Windows makefiles and remove * win/makefile.vc: -DBUILD_tcloo because it is no longer required. 2008-06-01 Kevin B. Kenny * generic/tclOODecls.h: Added the swizzling of DLLEXPORT and * generic/tclOOIntDecls.h: DLLIMPORT needed to make EXTERN work. * generic/tclDictObj.c: Added missing initializers to the ensemble map to silence a compiler warning. Thanks to George Peter Staplin for the report. * generic/tclOOMethod.c: Fix a bug where the refcount of a method was reset if the method was redefined while there was an active invocation.

TIP#257 IMPLEMENTATION * generic/tclBasic.c, generic/tclOOInt.h: Correct declarations. * win/Makefile.in, win/makefile.bc, win/makefile.vc: Build support for Win32, from Joe Mistachkin. [Patch 1980861] * generic/tclOO*, doc/*, tests/oo.test: Port of implementation of TclOO to sit directly inside Tcl. Note that this is incomplete (e.g. no build support yet for Windows). 2008-05-26 Jeff Hobbs * tests/io.test (io-53.9): Need to close chan before removing file. 2008-05-26 Donal K. Fellows * win/makefile.bc: Remove deprecated winhelp target. * win/Makefile.in, win/makefile.vc: It didn't work correctly anyway. 2008-05-23 Andreas Kupries * win/tclWinChan.c (FileWideSeekProc): Accepted a patch by Alexandre Ferrieux to fix the [Bug 1965787]. 'tell' now works for locations > 2 GB as well instead of going negative. * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_SetChannelBufferSize): Accepted a patch by * tests/io.test: Alexandre Ferrieux * tests/chanio.test: to fix the [Bug 1969953]. Buffersize outside of the supported range are now clipped to nearest boundary instead of ignored. 2008-05-22 Don Porter * generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_LogCommandInfo): Restored ability to handle the argument value length = -1. Thanks to Chris Darroch for discovering the bug and providing the fix. [Bug 1968245] 2008-05-21 Don Porter * generic/tclParse.c (ParseComment): The new TclParseAllWhiteSpace * tests/parse.test (parse-15.60): routine has no mechanism to return the "incomplete" status of "\\\n" so calling this routine anywhere that can be reached within a Tcl_ParseCommand() call is a mistake. In particular, ParseComment() must not use it. [Bug 1968882] 2008-05-20 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_SetNamespaceUnknownHandler): Corrected odd logic for handling installation of namespace unknown handlers which could lead too very strange things happening in the error case. 2008-05-16 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclCompile.c: Fix crash with tcl_traceExec. Found and fixed by Alexander Pasadyn. [Bug 1964803] 2008-05-15 Pat Thoyts * win/makefile.vc: We should use the thread allocator for threaded * win/rules.vc: builds.

Many thanks to Kevin B. Kenny for his help with this. * unix/tclUnixThrd.c: Add platform-specific TSD functions for use by * win/tclWinThrd.c: tclThreadStorage.c. 2008-05-09 Kevin B. Kenny * tests/dict.test (dict-19.2): Corrected a bug where the test was changed to use [apply] instead of a temporary proc, but the cleanup script still attempted to delete the temporary proc. 2008-05-07 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictAppendCmd): Fix silly off-by one error that caused a crash every time a compiled 'dict append' with more than one argument was used. Found by Colin McCormack. 2008-05-02 Pat Thoyts * generic/tclBasic.c: Converted the [binary] command into an * generic/tclBinary.c: ensemble. * generic/tclInt.h: * test/binary.test: Updated the error tests for ensemble errors. * generic/tclFileName.c: Reverted accidental commit of TIP 316 APIs. 2008-04-27 Donal K. Fellows * */*.c: A large tranche of getting rid of pre-C89-isms; if your compiler doesn't support things like proper function declarations, 'void' and 'const', borrow a proper one when building Tcl. (The header files allow building things that link against Tcl with really ancient compilers still; the requirement is just when building Tcl itself.) 2008-04-26 Zoran Vasiljevic * generic/tclAsync.c: Tcl_AsyncDelete(): panic if attempt to locate handler token fails. Happens when some other thread attempts to delete somebody else's token. Also, panic early if we find out the wrong thread attempting to delete the async handler (common trap). As, only the one that created the handler is allowed to delete it. 2008-04-24 Andreas Kupries * tests/ioCmd.test: Extended testsuite for reflected channel implementation. Added test cases about how it handles if the rug is pulled out from under a channel (= killing threads, interpreters containing the tcl command for a channel, and channel sitting in a different interpreter/thread.) * generic/tclIORChan.c: Fixed the bugs exposed by the new testcases, redone most of the cleanup and exit handling. 2008-04-21 Don Porter * generic/tclIOUtil.c: Removed all code delimited by * generic/tclTest.c: USE_OBSOLETE_FS_HOOKS, completing * tests/ioCmd.test: the deprecation path for these * tests/ioUtil.test (removed): obsolete interfaces. (Code was active in Tcl 8.4, present but enabled only by customized compile switch in Tcl 8.5, and now completely gone for Tcl 8.6). Also removed all tests relevant only to the removed interfaces. 2008-04-19 George Peter Staplin * doc/Ensemble.3: Fix a typo: s/defiend/defined/ Thanks to hat0 for spotting this. 2008-04-16 Daniel Steffen * generic/tclInt.h: Make stubs tables 'static const' and * generic/tclStubInit.c: export only module-scope pointers to * generic/tclStubLib.c: the main stubs tables (for package * tools/genStubs.tcl: initialization).

Kenny * unix/tclUnixTime.c (NativeGetTime): Removed obsolete use of 'struct timezone' in the call to 'gettimeofday'. [Bug 1942197] * tests/clock.test (clock-33.5, clock-33.5a, clock-33.8, clock-33.8a): Added comments to the test that it can fail on a heavily loaded system. 2008-04-10 Andreas Kupries * generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_FcopyObjCmd): Keeping check for negative values, changed to not be an error, but behave like the special value -1 (copy all, default). * tests/iocmd.test (iocmd-15.{12,13}): Removed. * tests/io.test (io-52.5{,a,b}): Reverted last change, added * tests/chanio.test (chan-io-52.5{,a,b}): comment regarding the meaning of -1, added two more testcases for other negative values, and input wrapped to negative. 2008-04-09 Donal K. Fellows * tests/{fCmd,unixFCmd,winFCmd,winFile}.test: Tidying up of the test suite to make better use of tcltest2 and be clearer about what is being tested. * win/Makefile.in (html): Added target for doing convenient documentation builds, mirroring the one from unix/Makefile. 2008-04-09 Andreas Kupries * tests/chanio.test (chan-io-52.5): Removed '-size -1' from test, * tests/io.test (io-52.5): does not seem to have any bearing, and was an illegal value. Test case is not affected by the value of -size, test flag restoration and that evrything was properly copied. * generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_FcopyObjCmd): Added checking of -size value * tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-15.{13,14}): to reject negative values, and values overflowing 32-bit signed. Basic patch by Alexandre Ferrieux , with modifications from me to separate overflow from true negative value. Extended testsuite.

Kenny * win/tclWinFile.c: (WinSymLinkDirectory): Fixed a problem that Tcl was creating an NTFS junction point (IO_REPARSE_TAG_MOUNT_POINT) but filling in the union member for a Vista symbolic link. We had gotten away with this error because the union member (SymbolicLinkReparseBuffer) was misdefined in this file and in the 'winnt.h' in early versions of MinGW. MinGW 3.4.2 has the correct definition of SymbolicLinkReparseBuffer, exposing the mismatch, and making tests cmdAH-19.4.1, fCmd-28.*, and filename-11.* fail. * tests/chanio.test (chan-io-53.9): * tests/io.test (io-53.9): Made test cleanup robust against the possibility of slow process shutdown on Windows. * win/tcl.m4: Added -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE and -DCRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE to the MSVC compilation flags so that the compilation doesn't barf on perfectly reasonable Posix system calls. * win/configure: Manually patched (don't have the right autoconf to hand). 2008-04-04 Andreas Kupries * tests/io.test (io-53.9): Added testcase for [Bug 780533], based * tests/chanio.test: on Alexandre's test script. Also fixed problem with timer in preceding test, was not canceled properly in the ok case 2008-04-04 Andreas Kupries * generic/tclIORChan.c (ReflectOutput): Allow zero return from write when input was zero-length anyway. Otherwise keept it an error, and separate the message from 'written too much'. * tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-24.6): Testcase updated for changed message. * generic/tclIORChan.c (ReflectClose): Added missing removal of the now closed channel from the reflection map. Before we could crash the system by invoking 'chan postevent' on a closed reflected channel, dereferencing the dangling pointer in the map. * tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-31.8): Testcase for the above. 2008-04-03 Andreas Kupries * generic/tclIO.c (CopyData): Applied patch [Bug 1932639] to * tests/io.test: prevent fcopy from calling -command synchronously * tests/chanio.test: the first time.

[Bug 1905562] 2008-03-18 Andreas Kupries * library/tm.tcl (::tcl::tm::UnknownHandler): Changed 'source' to 'source -encoding utf-8'. This fixes a portability problem of Tcl Modules pointed out by Don Porter. By using plain 'source' we were at the mercy of 'encoding system', making modules less portable than they could be. The exact scenario: A writes a TM in some weird encoding which is A's system encoding, distributes it, and somewhere else it cannot be read/used because the system encoding is different. Forcing the use of utf-8 makes the module portable. ***INCOMPATIBILITY*** for all Tcl Modules already written in non-utf-8 compatible encodings. 2008-03-18 Don Porter * generic/tclExecute.c: Patch from Miguel Sofer to correct the alignment of memory allocated by GrowEvaluationStack().

[Bug 1905809] Added example, tidied up formatting. 2008-03-14 Don Porter * generic/tclBasic.c (OldMathFuncProc): Same workaround protection from bad TclStackAlloc() alignment. Thanks George Peter Staplin. * generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd): Use ckalloc() to allocate SortElement arrays instead of TclStackAlloc() which isn't getting alignment right. Workaround for [Bug 1914503]. 2008-03-14 Reinhard Max * generic/tclTest.c: Ignore the return value of write() when we are * unix/tclUnixPipe.c: about to exit anyways. 2008-03-13 Daniel Steffen * unix/configure.in: Use backslash-quoting instead of double-quoting * unix/tcl.m4: for lib paths in tclConfig.sh. [Bug 1913622] * unix/configure: autoconf-2.59 2008-03-13 Don Porter * changes: Updated for 8.5.2 release. * generic/tclStrToD.c: Resolve identifier conflict over "pow10" with libm in Cygwin and DJGPP. Thanks to Gordon Schumacher and Philip Moore. [Patch 1800636] 2008-03-12 Daniel Steffen * macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: Add support for Xcode 3.1 * macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/default.pbxuser: CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY and * macosx/Tcl-Common.xcconfig: 'xcodebuild install'. 2008-03-12 Andreas Kupries * doc/info.n: Replaced {expand} with {*}. 2008-03-12 Jeff Hobbs * unix/Makefile.in (install-libraries): Bump http to 2.7 * win/Makefile.in (install-libraries): Added -myaddr option to allow * library/http/http.tcl (http::geturl): control of selected socket * library/http/pkgIndex.tcl: interface. [Bug 559898] * doc/http.n, tests/http.test: Added -keepalive and -protocol 1.1 with chunked transfer encoding support. [Bug 1063703, 1470377, 219225] (default keepalive is 0) Added ability to override Host in -headers. [Bug 928154] Added -strict option to control URL validation on per-call basis. [Bug 1560506] 2008-03-11 Jeff Hobbs * library/http/http.tcl (http::geturl): Add -method option to support * tests/http.test (http-3.1): http PUT and DELETE requests. * doc/http.n: [Bug 1599901, 862554] * library/http/http.tcl: Whitespace changes, code cleanup. Allow http to be re-sourced without overwriting http state. 2008-03-11 Daniel Steffen * generic/tclEncoding.c (LoadEscapeEncoding): Avoid leaking escape sub-encodings, fixes encoding-11.1 failing after iso2022-jp loaded. [Bug 1893053] * macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: Avoid using CoreFoundation after fork() on Darwin 9 even when TclpCreateProcess() uses vfork(). * macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: Add support for Xcode 3.1 and * macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/default.pbxuser: configs for building with * macosx/Tcl-Common.xcconfig: gcc-4.2 and llvm-gcc-4.2. * unix/tclUnixPort.h: Workaround vfork() problems in llvm-gcc-4.2.1 -O4 build. * unix/tclUnixPort.h: Move MODULE_SCOPE compat define to top. [Bug 1911102] * macosx/GNUmakefile: Fix quoting to allow paths * macosx/Tcl-Common.xcconfig: to ${builddir} and * unix/Makefile.in: ${INSTALL_ROOT} to contain * unix/configure.in: spaces. * unix/install-sh: * unix/tcl.m4: * tests/ioCmd.test: * unix/configure: autoconf-2.59 * unix/Makefile.in (install-strip): Strip non-global symbols from dynamic library. * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: Fix warning. * tests/exec.test (exec-9.7): Reduce timing sensitivity * tests/socket.test (socket-2.11): (esp. on multi-proc machines). * tests/fCmd.test (fCmd-9.4): Skip on Darwin 9 (xfail). 2008-03-11 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclVar.c (TclDeleteNamespaceVars): * tests/var.test (var-8.2): Unset traces on vars should be called with a FQ named during namespace deletion. This was causing infinite loops when unset traces recreated the var, as reported by Julian Noble. [Bug 1911919] 2008-03-10 Don Porter * changes: Updated for 8.5.2 release. * doc/http.n: Revised to indicate that [package require http 2.5.5] is needed to get all the documented commands ([http::meta]). * generic/tclEvent.c (TclDefaultBgErrorHandlerObjCmd): Added error * tests/event.test (event-5.*): checking to protect against callers passing invalid return options dictionaries. [Bug 1901113] * generic/tclBasic.c (ExprAbsFunc): Revised so that the abs() * tests/expr.test: function and the [::tcl::mathfunc::abs] command do not return the value of -0, or equivalent values with more alarming string reps like -1e-350. [Bug 1893815] 2008-03-07 Andreas Kupries * generic/tclResult.c (ReleaseKeys): Workaround for [Bug 1904907]. Reset the return option keys to NULL to allow full re-initialization by GetKeys(). This introduces a memory leak for the key objects, but gets us around a crash in the finalization of reflected channels when handling returns, either at compile- or runtime. In both cases we access the keys after they have been released by their thread exit handler. A proper fix is entangled with the untangling of the finalization ordering and attendant issues. For now we choose the lesser evil. 2008-03-07 Don Porter * generic/tclExecute.c (Tcl_ExprObj): Revised expression bytecode compiling so that bytecodes invalid due to changing context or due to the difference between expressions and scripts are not reused. [Bug 1899164] * generic/tclCmdAH.c: Revised direct evaluation implementation of [expr] so that [expr $e] caches compiled bytecodes for the expression as the intrep of $e. * tests/execute.test (execute-6.*): More tests checking that script bytecode is invalidated in the right situations. 2008-03-07 Donal K. Fellows * win/configure.in: Add AC_HEADER_STDC to support msys/win64. 2008-03-06 Donal K. Fellows * doc/namespace.n: Minor tidying up.

Thanks to Peter Spjuth for pointing out the difficulties calling Tcl_SetReturnOptions with non-0-count value for options. * generic/tclExecute.c (INST_RETURN_STK): Revised the one caller within Tcl itself which passes a non-0-count value to Tcl_SetReturnOptions(). * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_AppendObjToErrorInfo): Revised the refcount management of Tcl_AppendObjToErrorInfo to become that of a conventional Consumer routine. This preserves the ease of use for the overwhelming common callers who pass in a 0-count value, but makes the proper call with a non-0-count value less surprising. * generic/tclEvent.c (TclDefaultBgErrorHandlerObjCmd): Revised the one caller within Tcl itself which passes a non-0-count value to Tcl_AppendObjToErrorInfo(). 2008-02-28 Joe English * unix/tclPort.h, unix/tclCompat.h, unix/tclUnixChan.h: Reduce scope of and #includes. [Patch 1903339] 2008-02-28 Joe English * unix/tclUnixChan.c, unix/tclUnixNotfy.c, unix/tclUnixPipe.c: Consolidate all code conditionalized on -DUSE_FIONBIO into one place. * unix/tclUnixPort.h, unix/tclUnixCompat.c: New routine TclUnixSetBlockingMode(). [Patch 1903339] 2008-02-28 Don Porter * generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalObjvInternal): Plug memory leak when an enter trace deletes or changes the command, prompting a reparsing. Don't let the second pass lose commandPtr value allocated during the first pass. * generic/tclCompExpr.c (ParseExpr): Plug memory leak in error message generation. * generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_AppendFormatToObj): [format %llx $big] leaked an mp_int. * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileReturnCmd): The 2007-10-18 commit to optimize compiled [return -level 0 $x] [RFE 1794073] introduced a memory leak of the return options dictionary. Fixing that. 2008-02-27 Pat Thoyts * library/http/http.tcl: [Bug 705956] - fix inverted logic when cleaning up socket error in geturl. 2008-02-27 Kevin B. Kenny * doc/clock.n: Corrected minor indentation gaffe in the penultimate paragraph. [Bug 1898025] * generic/tclClock.c (ParseClockFormatArgs): Changed to check that the clock value is in the range of a 64-bit integer. [Bug 1862555] * library/clock.tcl (::tcl::clock::format, ::tcl::clock::scan, (::tcl::clock::add, ::tcl::clock::LocalizeFormat): Fixed bugs in caching of localized strings that caused weird results when localized date/time formats were used. [Bug 1902423] * tests/clock.test (clock-61.*, clock-62.1): Regression tests for [Bug 1862555] and [Bug 1902423]. 2008-02-26 Joe English * generic/tclIOUtil.c, unix/tclUnixPort.h, unix/tclUnixChan.c: Remove dead/unused portability-related #defines and unused conditional code. See [Patch 1901828] for discussion. 2008-02-26 Joe English * generic/tclIORChan.c (enum MethodName), * generic/tclCompExpr.c (enum Marks): More stray trailing ","s 2008-02-26 Joe English * unix/configure.in(socklen_t test): Define socklen_t as "int" if missing, not "unsigned". Use AC_TRY_COMPILE instead of AC_EGREP_HEADER. * unix/configure: regenerated. 2008-02-26 Joe English * generic/tclCompile.h: Remove stray trailing "," from enum InstOperandType definition (C99ism). 2008-02-26 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclUtil.c (TclReToGlob): Fix the handling of the last star * tests/regexpComp.test: possibly being escaped in determining right anchor. [Bug 1902436] 2008-02-26 Pat Thoyts * library/http/pkgIndex.tcl: Set version 2.5.5 * library/http/http.tcl: It is better to do the [eof] check after trying to read from the socket. No clashes found in testing. Added http::meta command to access the http headers. [Bug 1868845] 2008-02-22 Pat Thoyts * library/http/pkgIndex.tcl: Set version 2.5.4 * library/http/http.tcl: Always check that the state array exists in the http::status command.

Replaces the TclExpandTokenArray() routine via replacing: int needed = parsePtr->numTokens + growth; while (needed > parsePtr->tokensAvailable) { TclExpandTokenArray(parsePtr); } with: TclGrowParseTokenArray(parsePtr, growth); This revision merged over from dgp-refactor branch. * generic/tclCompile.h: Demote TclCompEvalObj() from internal stubs to * generic/tclInt.decls: a MODULE_SCOPE routine declared in tclCompile.h. * generic/tclIntDecls.h: make genstubs * generic/tclStubInit.c: 2008-01-22 Don Porter * generic/tclTimer.c (AfterProc): Replace Tcl_EvalEx() with Tcl_EvalObjEx() to evaluate [after] callbacks.
