2007-03-19 Don Porter * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateMathFunc): Replaced some * generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_CreateThread): calls to Tcl_Alloc() * generic/tclObj.c (UpdateStringOfBignum): with calls to * unix/tclUnixTime.c (SetTZIfNecessary): ckalloc(), which better * win/tclAppInit.c (setargv): supports memory debugging. 2007-03-19 Donal K. Fellows * doc/regsub.n: Corrected example so that it doesn't recommend potentially unsafe practice. Many thanks to Konstantin Kushnir for reporting this. 2007-03-17 Kevin Kenny * win/tclWinReg.c (GetKeyNames): Size the buffer for enumerating key names correctly, so that Unicode names exceeding 127 chars can be retrieved without crashing. [Bug 1682211] * tests/registry.test (registry-4.9): Added test case for the above bug. 2007-03-15 Mo DeJong * generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_Stat): Reimplement workaround to avoid gcc warning by using local variables. When the macro argument is of type long long instead of long, the incorrect warning is not generated. 2007-03-15 Mo DeJong * win/Makefile.in: Fully qualify LIBRARY_DIR so that `make test` does not depend on working dir. 2007-03-15 Mo DeJong * tests/parse.test: Add two backslash newline parse tests. 2007-03-12 Don Porter * generic/tclExecute.c (INST_FOREACH_STEP4): Make private copy of * tests/foreach.test (foreach-10.1): value list to be assigned to variables so that shimmering of that list doesn't lead to invalid pointers. [Bug 1671087] * generic/tclEvent.c (HandleBgErrors): Make efficient private copy * tests/event.test (event-5.3): of the command prefix for the interp's background error handling command to avoid panics due to pointers to memory invalid after shimmering. [Bug 1670155] * generic/tclNamesp.c (NsEnsembleImplementationCmd): Make efficient * tests/namespace.test (namespace-42.8): private copy of the command prefix as we invoke the command appropriate to a particular subcommand of a particular ensemble to avoid panic due to shimmering of the List intrep. [Bug 1670091] * generic/tclVar.c (TclArraySet): Make efficient private copy of * tests/var.test (var-17.1): the "list" argument to [array set] to avoid crash due to shimmering invalidating pointers. [Bug 1669489] 2007-03-12 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd): Fix problems with declaration positioning and memory leaks. [Bug 1679072] 2007-03-11 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LreverseObjCmd): Ensure that a list is correctly reversed even if its internal representation is shared without the object itself being shared. [Bug 1675044] 2007-03-10 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclCmdIL (Tcl_LsortObjCmd): changed fix to [Bug 1675116] to use the cheaper TclListObjCopy() instead of Tcl_DuplicateObj(). 2007-03-09 Andreas Kupries * library/platform/shell.tcl: Made more robust if an older platform * library/platform/pkgIndex.tcl: package is present in the inspected * unix/Makefile.in: shell. Package forget it to prevent errors. Bumped * win/Makefile.in: package version to 1.1.3, and updated the Makefiles installing it as Tcl Module. 2007-03-09 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd): Handle tricky case with loss * tests/cmdIL.test (cmdIL-1.29): of list rep during sorting due to shimmering. [Bug 1675116] 2007-03-09 Kevin B. Kenny * library/clock.tcl (ReadZoneinfoFile): Added Y2038 compliance to the code for version-2 'zoneinfo' files. * tests/clock.test (clock-56.3): Added a test case for Y2038 and 'zoneinfo'. Modified test initialisation to use the 'loadTestedCommands' function of tcltest to bring in the correct path for the registry library. 2007-03-08 Don Porter * generic/tclListObj.c (TclLsetList): Rewrite so that the routine itself does not do any direct intrep surgery. Better isolates those things into the implementation of the "list" Tcl_ObjType. 2007-03-08 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclListObj.c (TclLindexList, TclLindexFlat): Moved these functions to tclListObj.c from tclCmdIL.c to mirror the way that the equivalent functions for [lset]'s guts are arranged. 2007-03-08 Kevin B. Kenny * library/clock.tcl: Further tweaks to the Windows time zone table (restoring missing Mexican time zones). Added rudimentary handling of version-2 'zoneinfo' files. Update US DST rules so that zones such as 'EST5EDT' get the correct transition dates. * tests/clock.test: Added rudimentary test cases for 'zoneinfo' parsing. Adjusted several tests that depended on obsolete US DST transition rules. 2007-03-07 Daniel Steffen * macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: add spinlock debugging and sanity checks. * macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: ensure gcc version used by * macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/default.pbxuser: Xcode and configure/make are * macosx/Tcl-Common.xcconfig: consistent and independent of gcc_select default and CC env var; fixes for Xcode 3.0. * unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): s/CFLAGS/CPPFLAGS/ in macosx-version-min check * unix/configure: autoconf-2.59 2007-03-07 Don Porter * generic/tclCmdIL.c (TclLindex*): Rewrites to make efficient private copies of the list and indexlist arguments, so we can operate on the list elements directly with no fear of shimmering effects. Replaces defensive coding schemes that are otherwise required. End result is that TclLindexList is entirely a wrapper around TclLindexFlat, which is now the core engine of all [lindex] operations. * generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_AppendAllObjTypes): Converted to simpler list validity test. 2007-03-07 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclRegexp.c (TclRegAbout): Generate information about a regexp as a Tcl_Obj instead of as a string, which is more efficient. 2007-03-07 Kevin B. Kenny * library/clock.tcl: Adjusted Windows time zone table to handle new US DST rules by locale rather than as Posix time zone spec. * tests/clock.test (clock-39.6, clock-49.2, testclock::registry): Adjusted tests to simulate new US rules. * library/tzdata/America/Indiana/Winamac: * library/tzdata/Europe/Istanbul: * library/tzdata/Pacific/Easter: Olson's tzdata2007c. 2007-03-05 Andreas Kupries * library/platform/shell.tcl (::platform::shell::RUN): In the case of * library/platform/pkgIndex.tcl: a failure put the captured stderr * unix/Makefile.in: into the error message to aid in debugging. Bumped * win/Makefile.in: package version to 1.1.2, and updated the makefiles installing it as Tcl Module. 2007-03-03 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclLink.c (LinkedVar): Added macro to conceal at least some of the pointer hackery. 2007-03-02 Don Porter * generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LreverseObjCmd): Added missing TclInvalidateStringRep() call when we directly manipulate the intrep of an unshared "list" Tcl_Obj. [Bug 1672585]. * generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_JoinObjCmd): Revised [join] implementation to append Tcl_Obj's instead of strings. [RFE 1669420] * generic/tclCmdIL.c (Info*Cmd): Code simplifications and optimizations. 2007-03-02 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclCompile.c (TclPrintInstruction): Added a scheme to allow * generic/tclCompile.h (AuxDataPrintProc): aux-data to be printed * generic/tclCompCmds.c (Print*Info): out for debugging. For this to work, immediate operands referring to aux-data must be identified as such in the instruction descriptor table using OPERAND_AUX4 (all are always 4 bytes). * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Rewrote the compiled * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictCmd): [dict update] so that it * generic/tclCompile.h (DictUpdateInfo): stores critical * tests/dict.test (dict-21.{14,15}): non-varying data in an aux-data value instead of a (shimmerable) literal.

Replaces defensive coding schemes that are otherwise required. * generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_ForeachObjCmd): Rewrite to make efficient private copies of the variable and value lists, so we can operate on them without any special shimmer defense coding schemes. 2007-03-01 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileForeachCmd): Prevent an unexpected * tests/foreach.test (foreach-9.1): infinite loop when the variable list is empty and the foreach is compiled. [Bug 1671138] 2007-02-26 Andreas Kupries * generic/tclIORChan.c (FreeReflectedChannel): Added the missing refcount release between NewRC and FreeRC for the channel handle object, spotted by Don Porter. [Bug 1667990] 2007-02-26 Don Porter * generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_ForeachObjCmd): Removed surplus copying of the objv array that used to be a workaround for [Bug 404865]. That bug is long fixed. 2007-02-24 Don Porter * generic/tclBasic.c: Use new interface in Tcl_EvalObjEx so that the recounting logic of the List internal rep need not be repeated there. Better encapsulation of internal details. * generic/tclInt.h: New internal routine TclListObjCopy() used * generic/tclListObj.c: to efficiently do the equivalent of [lrange $list 0 end]. After some experience with this, might be a good candidate for exposure as a public interface. It's useful for callers of Tcl_ListObjGetElements() who want to control the ongoing validity of the returned objv pointer. 2007-02-22 Andreas Kupries * tests/pkg.test: Added tests for the case of an alpha package satisfying a require for the regular package, demonstrating a corner case specified in TIP#280. More notes in the comments to the test. 2007-02-20 Jan Nijtmans * generic/tclInt.decls: Added "const" specifiers in TclSockGetPort * generic/tclIntDecls.h: regenerated * generic/*.c: * unix/tclUnixChan.c * unix/tclUnixPipe.c * win/tclWinPipe.c * win/tclWinSock.c: Added many "const" specifiers in implementation. 2007-02-20 Don Porter * doc/tcltest.n: Typo fix.

Thanks to Larry Virden for spotting them. * doc/interp.n: Partial fix of [Bug 1662436]; rest requires some policy decisions on what should and shouldn't be safe commands from the "new in 8.5" set. 2007-02-13 Kevin B. Kenny * tools/fix_tommath_h.tcl: Further tweaking for the x86-64. The change is to make 'mp_digit' be an 'unsigned int' on that platform; since we're using only 32 bits of it, there's no reason to make it a 64-bit 'unsigned long.' * generic/tclTomMath.h: Regenerated. 2007-02-13 Donal K. Fellows * doc/re_syntax.n: Corrected description of 'print' class [Bug 1614687] and enhanced description of 'graph' class. 2007-02-12 Kevin B. Kenny * tools/fix_tommath_h.tcl: Added code to patch out a check for __x86_64__ that caused Tommath to use __attributes(TI)__ for the mp_word type. Tetra-int's simply fail on too many gcc-glibc-OS combinations to be ready for shipment today, even if they work for some of us. This change allows reversion of das's change of 2006-08-18 that accomplised the same thing on Darwin.

Fellows * generic/tclBasic.c, generic/tclNamesp.c, generic/tclProc.c: * generic/tclInt.h: Removed the callObjc and callObjv fields from the Interp structure. They did not function correctly and made other parts of the core amazingly complex, resulting in a substantive change to [info level] behaviour. [Bug 1587618] * library/clock.tcl: Removed use of [info level 0] for calculating the command name as used by the user and replace with a literal.

This is the last critical component to make advanced OO systems workable as simple loadable extensions. TOIPC is now in the internal stub table. (MakeProcError, MakeLambdaError): Refactored ProcessProcResultCode to be simpler, some of which goes to TclObjInterpProcCore, and the rest of which is now in these far simpler routines which just do errorInfo stack generation for different types of procedure-like entity. * tests/apply.test (apply-5.1): Updated to expect the more informative form of message. 2006-10-27 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclVar.c (HasLocalVars): New macro to make various bits and pieces cleaner. * generic/tclNamesp.c (TclSetNsPath): Expose SetNsPath() through internal stubs table with semi-external name. * generic/tclInt.h (CallFrame): Add a field for handling context data for extensions (like object systems) that should be tied to a call frame (and not a command or interpreter). * generic/tclBasic.c (TclRenameCommand): Change to take CONST args; they were only ever used in a constant way anyway, so this appears to be a spot that was missed during TIP#27 work. 2006-10-26 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclProc.c (SetLambdaFromAny): minor change, eliminate redundant call to Tcl_GetString (thanks aku). * generic/tclInterp.c (ApplyObjCmd): * generic/tclNamesp.c (EnsembleImplementationCmd): replaced ckalloc (heap) with TclStackAlloc (execution stack). 2006-10-24 Miguel Sofer * tests/info.test (info-9.11-12): tests for [Bug 1577492] * tests/apply.test (apply-4.3-5): tests for [Bug 1574835] * generic/tclProc.c (ObjInterpProcEx): disable itcl hacks for calls from ApplyObjCmd (islambda==1), as they mess apply's error messages [Bug 1583266] 2006-10-23 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclProc.c (ApplyObjCmd): fix wrong#args for apply by using the ensemble rewrite engine, [Bug 1574835]. * generic/tclInterp.c (AliasObjCmd): previous commit missed usage of TCL_EVAL_NOREWRITE for aliases. * generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalObjvInternal): removed redundant check for ensembles [Bug 1577628]. * library/clock.tcl (format, scan): corrected wrong # args messages to * tests/clock.test (3.1, 34.1): make use of the new rewrite capabilities of [info level] * generic/tcl.h: Lets TEOV update the iPtr->callObj[cv] new * generic/tclBasic.c: fields, except when the flag bit * generic/tclInt.h: TCL_EVAL_NOREWRITE is present.

[Bug 1560506] * generic/tcl.h: note limitation on changing Tcl_UniChar size * generic/tclEncoding.c (UtfToUnicodeProc, UnicodeToUtfProc): * tests/encoding.test (encoding-16.1): fix alignment issues in unicode <> utf conversion procs. [Bug 1122671] 2006-10-05 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_LappendObjCmd): * tests/append.test(4.21-22): fix for longstanding [Bug 1570718], lappending nothing to non-list. Reported by lvirden 2006-10-04 Kevin B. Kenny * tzdata/: Olson's tzdata2006m. 2006-10-01 Kevin B. Kenny * tests/clock.test (clock-49.2): Removed a locale dependency that caused a spurious failure in the German locale. [Bug 1567956] 2006-10-01 Miguel Sofer * doc/Eval.3 (TclEvalObjv): added note on refCount management for the elements of objv, [Bug 730244]. 2006-10-01 Pat Thoyts * win/tclWinFile.c: Handle possible missing define. * win/tclWinFile.c (TclpUtime): [Bug 1420432] file mtime fails for * tests/cmdAH.test: directories on windows * tests/winFile.test: Handle Msys environment a little differently in getuser function. Fix for [Bug 1567956]. 2006-09-30 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_SplitList): optimisation, [Patch 1344747] by dgp. * generic/tclInt.decls: * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclIntDecls.h: * generic/tclObj.c: * generic/tclStubInit.c: added an internal function TclObjBeingDeleted to provide info as to the reason for the loss of an internal rep. [FR 1512138] * generic/tclCompile.c: * generic/tclHistory.c: * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclProc.c: made Tcl_RecordAndEvalObj not call "history" if it has been redefined to an empty proc, in order to reduce the noise when debugging [FR 1190441]. Moved TclCompileNoOp from tclProc.c to tclCompile.c 2006-09-28 Andreas Kupries * generic/tclPkg.c (CompareVersions): Bugfix. Check string lengths * tests/pkg.test: before comparison. The shorter string is the smaller number. Added testcases as well. Interestingly all existing test cases for vcompare compared numbers of the same length with each other. See [Bug 1563836]. 2006-09-28 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_GetsObj): added two test'n'panic guards for possible NULL derefs, [Bug 1566382] and coverity #33. 2006-09-27 Don Porter * generic/tclExecute.c: Corrected error in INST_LSHIFT in the * tests/expr.test: calculation done to determine whether a shift in the (long int) type is possible. The calculation had literal value "1" where it needed a value "1L" to compute the correct result. Error detected via testing with the math::bigfloat package [Bug 1567222] * generic/tclPkg.c (CompareVersion): Flatten strcmp() results to {-1, 0, 1} to match expectations of CompareVersion() callers. 2006-09-27 Miguel Sofer * generic/regc_color.c (singleton): * generic/regc_cvec.c (addmcce): * generic/regcomp.c (compile, dovec): the static function addmcce does nothing when called with two NULL pointers; the only call is by compile with two NULL pointers (regcomp.c #includes regc_cvec.c). Large parts (all?) the code for mcce (multi character collating element) that we do not use is ifdef'ed out with the macro REGEXP_MCCE_ENABLE. This silences coverity bugs 7, 16, 80 * generic/regc_color.c (uncolorchain): * generic/regc_nfa.c (freearc): changed tests and asserts to equivalent formulation, designed to avoid an explicit comparison to NULL and satisfy coverity that 6 and 9 are not bugs. 2006-09-27 Andreas Kupries * tests/pkg.test: Added test for version comparison at the 32bit boundary. [Bug 1563836]. * generic/tclPkg.c: [Bug 1563836]. Rewrote CompareVersion to perform string comparison instead of numeric. This breaks through the 32bit limit on version numbers. See code for details (handling of leading zeros, signs, etc.). un-CONSTed some arguments of CompareVersions, RequirementSatisfied, and AllRequirementsSatisfied. The new compare modifies the string (temporary string terminators). All callers use heap-allocated ver-intreps, so we are good with that. 2006-09-27 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclFileName.c (TclGlob): added a panic for a call with TCL_GLOBMODE_TAILS and pathPrefix==NULL. This would cause a segfault, as found by coverity #26. 2006-09-26 Kevin B. Kenny * doc/Encoding.3: Added covariant 'const' qualifier for the * generic/tcl.decls: Tcl_EncodingType argument to * generic/tclEncoding.c: Tcl_CreateEncoding.

Fellows demonstrates, "#define NULL 0" is just wrong, and as a quotable chat figure observed, "If NULL isn't defined, we're not using a C compiler." Improper fallback definition of NULL removed. 2006-09-25 Pat Thoyts * generic/tcl.h: More fixing which struct stat to refer to. * generic/tclGetDate.y: Some casts from time_t to int required. * generic/tclTimer.c: Tcl_Time structure members are longs. * win/makefile.vc: Support for varying compiler options * win/rules.vc: and build to platform-specific subdirs. 2006-09-25 Andreas Kupries * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_StackChannel): Fixed [Bug 1564642], aka coverity #51. Extended loop condition, added checking for NULL to prevent seg.fault. 2006-09-25 Andreas Kupries * doc/package.n: Fixed nits reported by Daniel Steffen in the TIP#268 changes. 2006-09-25 Kevin B.

Also fixed bad var names in TclpGetHostByName. 2006-09-07 Zoran Vasiljevic * unix/tclUnixCompat.c: Added fallback to MT-unsafe library calls if TCL_THREADS is not defined. Fixed alignment of arrays copied by CopyArray() to be on the sizeof(char *) boundary. 2006-09-07 Zoran Vasiljevic * unix/tclUnixChan.c: Rewritten MT-safe wrappers to return ptrs to * unix/tclUnixCompat.c: TSD storage making them all look like their * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: MT-unsafe pendants API-wise. * unix/tclUnixPort.h: * unix/tclUnixSock.c: 2006-09-06 Zoran Vasiljevic * unix/tclUnixChan.c: Added TCL_THREADS ifdef'ed usage of MT-safe * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: calls like: getpwuid, getpwnam, getgrgid, * unix/tclUnixSock.c: getgrnam, gethostbyname and gethostbyaddr. * unix/tclUnixPort.h: See [Bug 999544] * unix/Makefile.in: * unix/configure.in: * unix/tcl.m4: * unix/configure: Regenerated. * unix/tclUnixCompat.c: New file containing MT-safe implementation of some library calls. 2006-09-04 Don Porter * generic/tclCompExpr.c: Removed much complexity that is no longer needed. * tests/main.text (Tcl_Main-4.4): Test corrected to not be timing sensitive to the Bug 1481986 fix.

[Bug 1541274] * tests/expr-old.test: The remaining failing tests reported in * tests/expr.test: [Bug 1381715] are all new in Tcl 8.5, so there's really no issue of compatibility with Tcl 8.4 result to deal with. Fixed by updating tests to expect 8.5 results. 2006-08-29 Don Porter * generic/tclParseExpr.c: Dropped the old expr parser. 2006-08-30 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): init iPtr->threadId * win/tclWinChan.c [Bug 819667] Improve logic for identifying COM ports. * generic/tclIOGT.c (ExecuteCallback): * generic/tclPkg.c (Tcl_PkgRequireEx): replace Tcl_GlobalEval(Obj) with more efficient Tcl_Eval(Obj)Ex * unix/Makefile.in (valgrindshell): add valgrindshell target and update default VALGRINDARGS. User can override, or add to it with VALGRIND_OPTS env var. * generic/tclFileName.c (DoGlob): match incrs with decrs. 2006-08-29 Don Porter * generic/tclParseExpr.c: Use the "parent" field of orphan ExprNodes to store the closure of left pointers. This lets us avoid repeated re-scanning leftward for the left boundary of subexpressions, which in worst case led to near O(N^2) runtime. 2006-08-29 Joe Mistachkin * unix/tclUnixInit.c: Fixed the issue (typo) that was causing * unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpThreadGetStackSize): stack.test to fail on FreeBSD (and possibly other Unix platforms). 2006-08-29 Colin McCormack * generic/tclIOUtil.c: Added test for NULL return from * generic/tclPathObj.c: Tcl_FSGetNormalizedPath which was causing * unix/tclUnixFile.c: segv's per [Bug 1548263] * win/tclWinFCmd.c: * win/tclWinFile.c: 2006-08-28 Kevin B.

This relieves callers of TclObjPrintf() and TclFormatToErrorInfo() from needing to fix arguments to character boundaries. Tcl_ParseExpr() simplified by taking advantage. [Bug 1547786] * generic/tclStringObj.c: Corrected TclFormatObj's failure to count up the number of arguments required by examining the format string. [Bug 1547681] 2006-08-27 Joe Mistachkin * generic/tclClock.c (ClockClicksObjCmd): Fix nested macro breakage with TCL_MEM_DEBUG enabled.

Kenny * library/tzdata: Regenerated, including several new files, from Olson's tzdata2006j. * library/clock.tcl: * tests/clock.test: Removed an early testing hack that allowed loading 'registry' from the build tree rather than an installed one. This is a workaround for [Bug 15232730], which remains open because it's a symptom of a deeper underlying problem. 2006-08-23 Don Porter * generic/tclParseExpr.c: Minimal collection of new tests * tests/parseExpr.test: testing the error messages of the new expr parser. Several bug fixes and code simplifications that appeared during that effort. 2006-08-21 Don Porter * generic/tclIOUtil.c: Revisions to complete the thread finalization of the cwdPathPtr. [Bug 1536142] * generic/tclParseExpr.c: Revised mistaken call to TclCheckBadOctal(), so both [expr 08] and [expr 08z] have same additional info in error message. * tests/compExpr-old.test: Update existing tests to not fail * tests/compExpr.test: with the new expr parser. * tests/compile.test: * tests/expr-old.test: * tests/expr.test: * tests/for.test: * tests/if.test: * tests/parseExpr.test: * tests/while.test: 2006-08-21 Donal K. Fellows * win/Makefile.in (gdb): Make this target work so that debugging an msys build is possible. 2006-08-21 Daniel Steffen * macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): if the run loop is already running (e.g. if Tcl_WaitForEvent was called recursively), re-run it in a custom run loop mode containing only the source for the notifier thread, otherwise wakeups from other sources added to the common run loop modes might get lost. * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): on 64-bit Darwin, pthread_cond_timedwait() appears to have a bug that causes it to wait forever when passed an absolute time which has already been exceeded by the system time; as a workaround, when given a very brief timeout, just do a poll on that platform. [Bug 1457797] * generic/tclClock.c (ClockClicksObjCmd): add support for Darwin * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TimeObjCmd): nanosecond resolution timer * generic/tclInt.h: to [clock clicks] and [time] * unix/configure.in (Darwin): when TCL_WIDE_CLICKS defined. * unix/tclUnixTime.c (TclpGetWideClicks, TclpWideClicksToNanoseconds): * unix/configure: autoconf-2.59 * unix/tclConfig.h.in: autoheader-2.59 * unix/tclUnixPort.h (Darwin): override potentially faulty configure detection of termios availability in all cases, since termios is known to be present on all Mac OS X releases since 10.0. [Bug 497147] 2006-08-18 Daniel Steffen * unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): add support for --enable-64bit on x86_64, for universal builds including x86_64, for 64-bit CoreFoundation on Leopard and for use of -mmacosx-version-min instead of MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET * unix/configure: autoconf-2.59 * unix/tclConfig.h.in: autoheader-2.59 * generic/tcl.h: add fixes for building on Leopard and support * unix/tclUnixPort.h: for 64-bit CoreFoundation on Leopard. * macosx/tclMacOSXFCmd.c: * unix/tclUnixPort.h: on Darwin x86_64, disable use of vfork as it causes execve to fail intermittently. (rdar://4685553) * generic/tclTomMath.h: on Darwin 64-bit, for now disable use of 128-bit arithmetic through __attribute__ ((mode(TI))), as it leads to link errors due to missing fallbacks.

Corrected a bug in cache management for format strings containing [glob] metacharacters [Bug 1494664]. Corrected several errors in formatting/scanning of years prior to the Common Era, and added the missing %EE format group to indicate the era. * tools/makeTestCases.tcl: Added code to make sure that %U and %V format groups are included in the tests. (The code depends on %U and %V formatting working correctly when 'makeTestCases.tcl' is run, rather than making a completely independent check.) Added tests for [glob] metacharacters in strings.

Allows calling exeve() in processes where the event loop has not yet been run (Darwin's execve() fails in processes with more than one thread), in particular allows embedders to call fork() followed by execve(), previously the pthread_atfork() child handler's call to Tcl_InitNotifier() would immediately recreate the notifier thread in the child after a fork. * macosx/tclMacOSXFCmd.c (TclMacOSXCopyFileAttributes): add support * macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (Tcl_InitNotifier): for weakly * unix/tclUnixInit.c (Tcl_GetEncodingNameFromEnvironment): importing symbols not available on OSX 10.2 or 10.3, enables binaires built on later OSX versions to run on earlier ones. * macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: enable weak-linking; turn on extra warnings. * macosx/README: document how to enable weak-linking; cleanup. * unix/tclUnixPort.h: add support for weak-linking; conditionalize AvailabilityMacros.h inclusion; only disable realpath on 10.2 or earlier when threads are enabled. * unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpLoadMemoryGetBuffer): change runtime Darwin * unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitPlatform): release check to use global initialized once * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (DoRenameFile, TclpObjNormalizePath): add runtime Darwin release check to determine if realpath is threadsafe. * unix/configure.in: add check on Darwin for compiler support of weak * unix/tcl.m4: import and for AvailabilityMacros.h header; move Darwin specific checks & defines that are only relevant to the tcl build out of tcl.m4; restrict framework option to Darwin; clean up quoting and help messages. * unix/configure: autoconf-2.59 * unix/tclConfig.h.in: autoheader-2.59 * generic/regc_locale.c (cclass): * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): * generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_ExecObjCmd): * generic/tclListObj.c (NewListIntRep): * generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetLongFromObj, Tcl_GetWideIntFromObj) (FreeBignum, Tcl_SetBignumObj): * generic/tclParseExpr.c (Tcl_ParseExpr): * generic/tclStrToD.c (TclParseNumber): * generic/tclStringObj.c (TclAppendFormattedObjs): * unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpLoadMemory): * unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess): fix signed-with-unsigned comparison and other warnings from gcc4 -Wextra. 2006-07-13 Andreas Kupries * unix/tclUnixPort.h: Added the inclusion of . The missing header caused the upcoming #if conditions to wrongly exclude realpath, causing file normalize to ignore symbolic links in the path. 2006-07-11 Zoran Vasiljevic * generic/tclAsync.c: Made Tcl_AsyncDelete() more tolerant when called after all thread TSD has been garbage-collected. 2006-07-05 Don Porter * generic/tclParseExpr.c: Completely new expression parser that builds a parse tree instead of operating with deep recursion. This corrects reports of stack-blowing crashes parsing long expressions [Bug 906201] and replaces a fundamentally O(N^2) algorithm with an O(N) one [RFE 903765]. The new parser is better able to generate error messages that clearly report both the nature and context of the syntax error [Bugs 1029267, 1381715]. For now, the code for the old parser is still present and can be activated with a "#define OLD_EXPR_PARSER 1". This is for the sake of a clean implementation patch, and for ease of benchmarking. The new parser is non-recursive, so much lighter in stack consumption, but it does use more heap, so there may be cases where parsing of long expressions that succeeded with the old parser will lead to out of memory panics with the new one. There are still more improvements possible on that point, though significant progress may require changes to the Tcl_Token specifications documented for the public Tcl_Parse*() routines. ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for any callers that rely on the exact (usually terrible) error messages generated by the old parser. This includes a large number of tests in the test suite. * generic/tclInt.h: Replaced TclParseWhiteSpace() with * generic/tclParse.c: TclParseAllWhiteSpace() which is what * generic/tclParseExpr.c: all the callers really needed. Breaking whitespace runs at newlines is useful only to the command parsing function, and it can call the file scoped routine ParseWhiteSpace() to do that. * tests/expr-old.test: Removed knownBug constraints that masked * tests/expr.test: failures due to revised error messages. * tests/parseExpr.test: 2006-06-20 Don Porter * generic/tclIOUtil.c: Changed default configuration to * generic/tclInt.decls: #undef USE_OBSOLETE_FS_HOOKS which disables * generic/tclTest.c: access to the Tcl 8.3 internal routines for hooking into filesystem operations. Everyone ought to have migrated to Tcl_Filesystems by now. ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for any code still stuck in the pre-Tcl_Filesystem era. * generic/tclIntDecls.h: make genstubs * generic/tclStubInit.c: * generic/tclStrToD.c: Removed dead code that permitted disabling of recognition of the new 0b and 0o numeric formats. * generic/tclExecute.c: Removed dead code that implemented alternative * generic/tclObj.c: design where numeric values did not automatically narrow to the smallest Tcl_ObjType required to hold them. * generic/tclCmdAH.c: Removed dead code that was old implementation of [format]. 2006-06-14 Daniel Steffen * unix/tclUnixPort.h (Darwin): support for MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED define from AvailabilityMacros.h: override configure detection and only use API available in the indicated OS version or earlier. 2006-06-14 Donal K. Fellows * doc/format.n, doc/scan.n: Added examples for converting between characters and their numeric interpretations following user prompting. 2006-06-13 Donal K. Fellows * unix/tclLoadDl.c (TclpDlopen): Workaround for a compiler bug in Sun Forte 6. [Bug 1503729] 2006-06-06 Don Porter * doc/GetStdChan.3: Added recommendation that each call to Tcl_SetStdChannel() be accompanied by a call to Tcl_RegisterChannel(). 2006-06-05 Donal K. Fellows * doc/Alloc.3: Added documentation of promise that Tcl_Realloc(NULL,x) is the same as Tcl_Alloc(x), as discussed in comp.lang.tcl. Also fixed nonsense sentence to say something meaningful. 2006-05-29 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tcl.h (Tcl_DecrRefCount): use if/else construct to allow placement in unbraced outer if/else conditions. (jcw) 2006-05-27 Daniel Steffen * macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: implemented pthread_atfork() handler that * unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): recreates CoreFoundation state and notifier thread in the child after a fork(). Note that pthread_atfork is available starting with Tiger only. Because vfork() is used by the core on Darwin, [exec]/[open] are not affected by this fix, only extensions or embedders that call fork() directly (such as TclX). However, this only makes fork() safe from corefoundation tcl with --disable-threads; as on all platforms, forked children may deadlock in threaded tcl due to the potential for stale locked mutexes in the child. [Patch 923072] * unix/configure: autoconf-2.59 * unix/tclConfig.h.in: autoheader-2.59 2006-05-24 Donal K. Fellows * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_SYSTEM): Fixed quoting of command script to awk; it was a rarely used branch, but it was wrong. [Bug 1494160] 2006-05-23 Donal K. Fellows * doc/chan.n, doc/refchan.n: Tighten up the documentation to follow a slightly more consistent style with regard to argument capitalization. 2006-05-13 Don Porter * generic/tclProc.c (ProcCompileProc): When a bump of the compile epoch forces the re-compile of a proc body, take care not to overwrite any Proc struct that may be referred to on the active call stack. This fixes [Bug 1482718]. Note that the fix will not be effective for code that calls the private routine TclProcCompileProc() directly. 2006-05-13 Daniel Steffen * generic/tclEvent.c (HandleBgErrors): fix leak. [Coverity issue 86] 2006-05-05 Don Porter * generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main): Corrected flaw that required * tests/main.test: (Tcl_Main-4.5): processing of one interactive command before passing control to the loop routine registered with Tcl_SetMainLoop() [Bug 1481986]. 2006-05-04 Don Porter * README: Bump version number to 8.5a5 * generic/tcl.h: * tools/tcl.wse.in: * unix/configure.in: * unix/tcl.spec: * win/README.binary: * win/configure.in: * unix/configure: autoconf-2.59 * win/configure: * generic/tclBasic.c (ExprSrandFunc): Restore acceptance of wide/big * doc/mathfunc.n: integer values by srand() [Bug 1480509]. 2006-04-26 Don Porter *** 8.5a4 TAGGED FOR RELEASE *** * changes: Updates for another RC. * generic/tclBinary.c: Revised the handling of the Q and q format * generic/tclInt.h: specifiers for [binary] to account for the * generic/tclStrToD.c: "middle endian" floating point format used in Nokia N770. 2006-04-25 Don Porter * doc/DoubleObj.3: More doc updates for TIP 237. * doc/expr.n: * doc/format.n: * doc/mathfunc.n: * doc/scan.n: * doc/string.n: * generic/tclScan.c: [scan $s %u] is documented to accept only * tests/scan.test: decimal formatted integers.

Thanks to Bruce Johnson for reporting this bug, originally on http://wiki.tcl.tk/15408. * library/clock.tcl: Fixed a bug with Daylight Saving Time and Posix time zone specifiers reported by Martin Lemburg in http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.tcl/browse_thread/thread/9a8b15a4dfc0b7a0 (and not at SourceForge). * tests/clock.test: Added test case for the above bug. 2006-04-18 Donal K. Fellows * doc/IntObj.3: Minor review fixes, including better documentation of the behaviour of Tcl_GetBignumAndClearObj. 2006-04-17 Don Porter * doc/IntObj.3: Documentation changes to account for TIP 237 changes. * doc/Object.3: [Bug 1446971] 2006-04-12 Donal K. Fellows * generic/regc_locale.c (cclass): Redefined the meaning of [:print:] to be exactly UNICODE letters, numbers, punctuation, symbols and spaces (*not* whitespace). [Bug 1376892] 2006-04-11 Don Porter * generic/tclTrace.c: Stop some interference between enter traces * tests/trace.test: and enterstep traces. [Bug 1458266] 2006-04-07 Don Porter * generic/tclPathObj.c: Yet another revised fix for the [Bug 1379287] * tests/fileSystem.test: family of path normalization bugs. 2006-04-06 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclRegexp.c (FinalizeRegexp): full reset data to indicate readiness for reinitialization. 2006-04-06 Don Porter * generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct): It seems there * tests/indexObj.test: are extensions that rely on the prior behavior * doc/GetIndex.3: that the empty string cannot succeed as a unique prefix matcher, so I'm restoring Donal Fellows's solution. Added mention of this detail to the documentation. [Bug 1464039] * tests/compExpr-old.test: Updated testmathfunctions constraint * tests/compExpr.test: to post-TIP-232 world. * tests/expr-old.test: * tests/expr.test: * tests/info.test: * tests/indexObj.test: Corrected other test errors revealed by * tests/upvar.test: testing outside the tcltest application. * generic/tclPathObj.c: Revised fix for the [Bug 1379287] family of path normalization bugs. 2006-04-06 Daniel Steffen * unix/tcl.m4: removed TCL_IO_TRACK_OS_FOR_DRIVER_WITH_BAD_BLOCKING define on Darwin.

[RFE 1366195] * library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl: * library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl: Bump to registry 1.2 because * win/tclWinReg.c: Registry_Unload() is a new public routine * win/Makefile.in: compared to the 1.1.* releases. * win/configure.in: Bump package version numbers. * win/configure: autoconf 2.59 2006-04-05 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct): Allow empty strings to be matched by the Tcl_GetIndexFromObj machinery, in the same manner as any other key. [Bug 1464039] 2006-04-03 Andreas Kupries * generic/tclIO.c (ReadChars): Added check, panic and commentary to a piece of code which relies on BUFFER_PADDING to create enough space at the beginning of each buffer for the insertion of partial multibyte data at the beginning of a buffer. Commentary explains why this code is OK, and the panic is as a precaution if someone twiddled the BUFFER_PADDING into uselessness. * generic/tclIO.c (ReadChars): [Bug 1462248]. Temporarily suppress the use of TCL_ENCODING_END set when EOF was reached while the buffer we are converting is not truly the last buffer in the queue. Together with the Utf bug below it was possible to completely wreck the buffer data structures, eventually crashing Tcl. * generic/tclEncoding.c (UtfToUtfProc): Stop accessing memory beyond the end of the input buffer when TCL_ENCODING_END is set and the last bytes of the buffer start a multi-byte sequence. This bug contributed to [Bug 1462248]. 2006-03-30 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclExecute.c: remove unused var and silence gcc warning 2006-03-29 Jeff Hobbs * win/Makefile.in: convert _NATIVE paths to use / to avoid ".\" path-as-escape issue. 2006-03-29 Don Porter * changes: Updates for another RC. * generic/tclPathObj.c: More fixes for path normalization when /../ * tests/fileSystem.test: tries to go beyond root.[Bug 1379287] * generic/tclExecute.c: Revised INST_MOD implementation to do calculations in native types as much as possible, moving to mp_ints only when necessary. 2006-03-28 Jeff Hobbs * win/tclWinPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess): change panics to Tcl errors and do proper refcounting of noe objPtr. [Bug 1194429] * unix/tcl.m4, win/tcl.m4: []-quote AC_DEFUN functions. 2006-03-28 Daniel Steffen * macosx/Tcl.xcode/default.pbxuser: add '-singleproc 1' cli arg to * macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/default.pbxuser: tcltest to ease test debugging * macosx/Tcl.xcode/project.pbxproj: removed $prefix/share from * macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: TCL_PACKAGE_PATH as per change to unix/configure.in of 2006-03-13. * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (TclpObjNormalizePath): deal with *BSD/Darwin realpath() converting relative paths into absolute paths.

Also corrected flaw that made INST_BITNOT of wide values require mp_int calculations. Also corrected type that missed optimized handling of the tclBooleanType by the TclGetBooleanFromObj macro. * changes: Updates for another RC. 2006-03-25 Don Porter * generic/tclExecute.c: Corrections to INST_EXPON detection of overflow to use mp_int calculations. 2006-03-24 Kevin B. Kenny * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Added a couple of missing casts to 'int' that were affecting compilablity on VC6. 2006-03-24 Don Porter * generic/tclEncoding.c: Reverted latest change [Bug 506653] since it reportedly killed test performance on Windows. * generic/tclExecute.c: Revised INST_EXPON implementation to do calculations in native types as much as possible, moving to mp_ints only when necessary. 2006-03-23 Don Porter * generic/tclExecute.c: Merged INST_EXPON handling in with the other binary operators that operate on all number types (INST_ADD, etc.). * tests/env.test: With case preserved (see 2006-03-21 commit) be sure to do case-insensitive filtering.

[Bug 823329] * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: * generic/tclStubInit.c: make genstubs 2006-03-20 Andreas Kupries * win/Makefile.in (install-libraries): Generate tcl8/8.4 directory under Windows as well (cygwin Makefile). Related entry: 2006-03-07, dgp. This moved the installation of http from 8.2 to 8.4, partially. A fix of the required directory creation was done for unix on Mar 10, without entry in the Changelog. This entry is for the fix of the directory creation under Windows. * unix/installManPage: There is always one even more broken "sed". Moved the # comment starting character in the sed script to the beginning of their respective lines. The AIX sed will not recognize them as comments otherwise :( The actual text stays indented for better association with the commands they belong to. 2006-03-20 Donal K.

Mostly minor changes. 2006-02-08 Don Porter TIP#258 IMPLEMENTATION * doc/Encoding.3: New subcommand [encoding dirs]. * doc/encoding.n: New routine Tcl_GetEncodingNameFromEnvironment * generic/tcl.decls: Made public: * generic/tclBasic.c: TclGetEncodingFromObj * generic/tclCmdAH.c: -> Tcl_GetEncodingFromObj * generic/tclEncoding.c:TclGetEncodingSearchPath * generic/tclInt.decls: -> Tcl_GetEncodingSearchPath * generic/tclInt.h: TclSetEncodingSearchPath * generic/tclTest.c: -> Tcl_SetEncodingSearchPath * library/init.tcl: Removed commands: * tests/cmdAH.test: [tcl::unsupported::EncodingDirs] * tests/encoding.test: [testencoding path] (Tcltest) * unix/tclUnixInit.c: [Patch 1413934]. * win/tclWinInit.c: * generic/tclDecls.h: make genstubs * generic/tclIntDecls.h: * generic/tclStubInit.c: 2006-02-01 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclProc.c: minor improvements to [apply] * tests/apply.test: new tests; apply-5.1 currently fails to indicate missing work in error reporting 2006-02-01 Don Porter TIP#194 IMPLEMENTATION * doc/apply.n: (New file) New command [apply]. [Patch 944803]. * doc/uplevel.n: * generic/tclBasic.c: * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclProc.c: * tests/apply.test: (New file) * tests/proc-old.test: * tests/proc.test: TIP#181 IMPLEMENTATION * doc/Namespace.3: New command [namespace unknown]. New public C * doc/namespace.n: routines Tcl_(Get|Set)NamespaceUnknownHandler. * doc/unknown.n: [Patch 958222]. * generic/tcl.decls: * generic/tclBasic.c: * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclNamesp.c: * tests/namespace.test: * generic/tclDecls.h: make genstubs * generic/tclStubInit.c: TIP#250 IMPLEMENTATION * doc/namespace.n: New command [namespace upvar]. [Patch 1275435] * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclNamesp.c: * generic/tclVar.c: * tests/namespace.test: * tests/upvar.test: 2006-01-26 Donal K. Fellows * doc/dict.n: Fixed silly bug in example. Thanks to Heiner Marxen for catching this! [Bug 1415725] 2006-01-26 Donal K. Fellows * unix/tclUnixChan.c (TclpOpenFileChannel): Tidy up and comment the mess to do with setting up serial channels. This (deliberately) breaks a broken FreeBSD port, indicates what we're really doing, and reduces the amount of conditional compilation sections for better maintenance. 2006-01-25 Donal K. Fellows * unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitPlatform): Improved conditions on when to update the FP rounding mode on FreeBSD, taken from FreeBSD port. 2006-01-23 Donal K. Fellows * tests/string.test (string-12.21): Added test for [Bug 1410553] based on original bug report. 2006-01-23 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclStringObj.c: fixed incorrect handling of internal rep in Tcl_GetRange [Bug 1410553]. Thanks to twylite and Peter Spjuth. * generic/tclProc.c: fixed args handling for precompiled bodies [Bug 1412695]; thanks to Uwe Traum. 2006-01-16 Reinhard Max * generic/tclPipe.c (FileForRedirect): Prevent nameString from being freed without having been initialized. * tests/exec.test: Added a test for the above. 2006-01-12 Zoran Vasiljevic * generic/tclPathObj.c (Tcl_FSGetInternalRep): backported patch from core-8-4-branch. A freed pointer has been overwritten causing all sorts of coredumps. 2006-01-12 Vince Darley * win/tclWinFile.c: fix to sharing violation [Bug 1366227] 2006-01-11 Don Porter * generic/tclBasic.c: Moved Tcl_LogCommandInfo from tclBasic.c to * generic/tclNamesp.c: tclNamesp.c to get access to identifier with * tests/error.test (error-7.0): file scope. Added check for traces on ::errorInfo, and when present fall back to contruction of the stack trace in the variable so that write trace notification timings are compatible with earlier Tcl releases. This reduces, but does not completely eliminate the ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** created by the 2004-10-15 commit. [Bug 1397843]. 2006-01-10 Daniel Steffen * unix/configure: add caching, use AC_CACHE_CHECK instead of * unix/configure.in: AC_CACHE_VAL where possible, consistent message * unix/tcl.m4: quoting, sync relevant tclconfig/tcl.m4 changes and gratuitous formatting differences, fix SC_CONFIG_MANPAGES with default argument, Darwin improvements to SC_LOAD_*CONFIG. 2006-01-09 Don Porter * generic/tclNamesp.c (NamespaceInscopeCmd): [namespace inscope] * tests/namespace.test: commands were not reported by [info level] [Bug 1400572]. 2006-01-09 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclTrace.c: Stop exporting the guts of the trace command; nothing outside this file needs to see it. [Bug 971336] 2006-01-05 Donal K. Fellows * unix/tcl.m4 (TCL_CONFIG_SYSTEM): Factor out the code to determine the operating system version number, as it was replicated in several places. 2006-01-04 David Gravereaux * win/tclAppInit.c: WIN32 native console signal handler removed. This was found to be interfering with TWAPI extension one. IMO, special services such as signal handlers should best be done with extensions to the core after discussions on c.l.t. about Roy Terry's tclsh children of a real windows service shell. ****************************************************************** *** CHANGELOG ENTRIES FOR 2005 IN "ChangeLog.2005" *** *** CHANGELOG ENTRIES FOR 2004 IN "ChangeLog.2004" *** *** CHANGELOG ENTRIES FOR 2003 IN "ChangeLog.2003" *** *** CHANGELOG ENTRIES FOR 2002 IN "ChangeLog.2002" *** *** CHANGELOG ENTRIES FOR 2001 IN "ChangeLog.2001" *** *** CHANGELOG ENTRIES FOR 2000 IN "ChangeLog.2000" *** *** CHANGELOG ENTRIES FOR 1999 AND EARLIER IN "ChangeLog.1999" *** ******************************************************************
