2001-05-07 Miguel Sofer * tests/lindex.test: added test for nested braces [Patch: 423617] 2001-05-07 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclInt.h * generic/tclNamesp.c: invalidate all bytecodes in a namespace if a new command shadows a bytecoded command. * tests/namespace.test Patched from [Bug: 231259] 2001-05-15 Donal K. Fellows * doc/console.n: Created. It seems very odd to me that the console implementation is part of the Tcl distribution and not part of Tk, but given the location of the source, the documentation must obviously match up... 2001-05-14 Donal K. Fellows * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): * tests/string.test (string-4.14): Negative string indices should not be added as offsets to the result of [string first] but instead be treated as referring to the start of the string. [Bug: 423581] 2001-05-11 Mo DeJong * unix/Makefile.in: Add a LDFLAGS variable to the Makefile instead of directly substing @LDFLAGS@. * unix/configure: Regen. * unix/tcl.m4: Fix CFLAGS_DEFAULT so that the name of a Makefile variable is passed as @CFLAGS@. * win/Makefile.in: Move the setting of CFLAGS higher up in the Makefile. * win/configure: Regen. * win/configure.in: Use dnl to comment out macros so that they are not accidently expanded. * win/tcl.m4: Fix CFLAGS_DEFAULT so that the name of a Makefile variable is passed as @CFLAGS@. 2001-05-07 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclExecute.c: insure different rand() seeds in different threads [Bug 416643] 2001-05-03 Jeff Hobbs * tests/tcltest.test: removed extraneous 'c' (doh!) [Bug: 414031] * tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: removed use of 'exec' for portability and fixed up code. 2001-05-03 Don Porter * doc/library.n: * library/init.tcl: * tests/autoMkindex.test: Modified [auto_import] to apply pattern matching in the [namespace import] style. [Bug 420186] ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for any callers of [auto_import] from outside Tcl that expect the pattern matching to be like that of [string match]. 2001-05-03 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclParse.c: * tests/namespace.test: Insure consistent behaviour of the [unknown] command: when a command is unknown, it is always processed by [::unknown], ignoring any namespace proc which happens to be called "unknown" [Patch #421166, Bug #420507] 2001-05-02 Don Porter * tools/genStubs.tcl: Add a package require of Tcl 8 at the beginning of the script so that the script will print a descriptive error message when run in an old Tcl 7 shell. 2000-04-27 Kevin Kenny * generic/tclInt.decls: * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclCmdIL.c: * generic/tclProc.c: * generic/tclVar.c: Added another collection of missing CONSTs related to TclGetNamespaceForQualName. * generic/tclIntDecls.h: Regenerated. 2000-04-25 Mo DeJong * unix/configure: Regen. * unix/tcl.m4: Subst TCL_THREADS into tclConfig.sh. * unix/tclConfig.sh.in: Add TCL_THREADS variable. * win/configure: Regen. * win/tcl.m4: Subst TCL_THREADS into tclConfig.sh. * win/tclConfig.sh.in: Add TCL_THREADS variable. 2000-04-25 Mo DeJong * unix/configure: Regen. * unix/configure.in: Use $@ in MAKE_LIB and MAKE_STUB_LIB commands instead of using a delayed subst variable. Replace instances of STUB_LIB_FILE with TCL_STUB_LIB_FILE. 2000-04-25 Mo DeJong * unix/Makefile.in: Use TCL_STUB_LIB_FILE instead of STUB_LIB_FILE. * unix/configure: Regen. * unix/configure.in: Don't subst STUB_LIB_FILE, use TCL_STUB_LIB_FILE instead. 2001-04-25 Donal K. Fellows * tools/encoding/iso8859-15.txt: * library/encoding/iso8859-15.enc: Oops! Got the full encoding wrong. Should be fixed now... * tools/encoding/iso8859-15.txt: * library/encoding/iso8859-15.enc: * tools/tcl.wse.in: Added ISO 8859-15 (a.k.a. Latin-1 + Euro currency symbol) support. * generic/tclNamesp.c: * generic/tclBasic.c (TclRenameCommand): Missing CONST from several declarations relating to use of TclGetNamespaceForQualName 2001-04-24 Kevin B.

[Patch #415179] ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** from 8.4a2, in which Vince Darley's changes to command tracing were added. A const has been added to the type signature of one of the parameters to Tcl_CommandTraceProc. 2001-04-10 Kevin B. Kenny * unix/tclUnixTime.c: Altered code to use memcpy instead of structure assigments in an effort to achieve better K&R compatibility. 2001-04-10 Kevin B. Kenny * unix/tclUnixTime.c: Fixed silly typo in calls to 'gmtime' and 'localtime' that broke the Linux build. 2001-04-09 Kevin B. Kenny * unix/tclLoadShl.c: Added DYNAMIC_PATH to the load flags so that the SHLIB_PATH will be searched for other libraries. [Bug #219140] 2001-04-09 Kevin B. Kenny * unix/tcl.m4: Added _REENTRANT to Solaris build so that thread safe library routines are included. * unix/configure: Re-ran 'autoconf' with changed tcl.m4 * tclUnixTime.c: Modified for thread safety of 'gmtime' and 'localtime' system calls [Bugs #219136 and #232558] 2001-04-09 Donal K. Fellows * tests/expr.test (expr-21.*): Tests to check below fix. * generic/tclParseExpr.c (GetLexeme): Now recognises the non-numeric boolean literals for what they are. It no longer makes sense for anyone to create functions with the same name as one of them, but this was true in 7.* as well [Bug #217777; finally!] 2001-04-07 Miguel Sofer * generic/tclExecute.c: Avoid panic when there are extra items in the tcl stack [Bug #406709, Patch #414470] * tests/foreach.test: test to exercise the patch 2001-04-07 Miguel Sofer * doc/namespace.n: document correct functionality * generic/tclNamesp.c: corrected behaviour of [namespace code] (Bug #219385, Patch #403530) * library/init.tcl: * tests/namespace-old.test: test correct functionality * tests/namespace.test: test correct functionality 2001-04-07 Andreas Kupries * unix/Makefile.in (checkdoc): New target, checking the definitions as found in the compiled library against the manpages to find undocumented public functionality. * unix/mkLinks: Updated to include the new manpage. * doc/UniCharIsAlpha.3: New manpage documenting the Unicode character classification APIs [Bug #218720]. 2001-04-07 Andreas Kupries * unix/mkLinks: Updated to incorporate the changes below. * doc/StringObj.3: Added 'Tcl_AttemptSetObjLength' to the NAME section.

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

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

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

(bug 3441, 3868). * generic/tclDate.c: Fixed compiler warning issues. 2000-01-10 Jeff Hobbs * compat/waitpid.c: use pid_t type instead of int [Bug: 3999] * tests/utf.test: fixed test that allowed \8 as octal value * generic/tclUtf.c: changed Tcl_UtfBackslash to not allow non-octal digits (8,9) in \ooo substs. [Bug: 3975] * generic/tcl.h: noted need to change win/tcl.m4 and tools/tclSplash.bmp for minor version changes * library/http2.1/http.tcl: trim value for $state(meta) key * unix/tclUnixFile.c: fixed signature style on functions * unix/Makefile.in: made sure tcl.m4 would be installed with dist * unix/tcl.m4: added ELF support for NetBSD [Bug: 3959] 2000-01-10 Eric Melski * generic/tclGetDate.y: Added rules for ISO 8601 formats (BUG #847): CCYY-MM-DD CCYYMMDD YY-MM-DD YYMMDD CCYYMMDDTHHMMSS CCYYMMDD HHMMSS CCYYMMDDTHH:MM:SS Fixed "clock scan " to scan the number as an hour for the current day, rather than a minute after 00:00 for the current day (bug #2732). 2000-01-07 Eric Melski * generic/tclClock.c: Changed switch in Tcl_ClockObjCmd to use enumerated values instead of constants. (ie, COMMAND_SCAN instead of 3). 1999-12-22 Jeff Hobbs * changes: updated changes file * tools/tclSplash.bmp: updated to show 8.3 1999-12-21 Jeff Hobbs * README: * generic/tcl.h: * mac/README: * unix/configure.in: * tools/tcl.wse.in: * win/README.binary: * win/configure.in: updated to patch level 8.3b1 * unix/Makefile.in: added -srcdir=... for 'make html' * doc/Hash.3: fixed reference to ckfree [Bug: 3912] * doc/RegExp.3: fixed calling params for Tcl_RegExecFromObj * doc/open.n: fixed minor formatting errors * doc/string.n: fixed minor formatting errors * doc/lsort.n: added -unique docs * tests/cmdIL.test: * generic/tclCmdIL.c: added -unique option to lsort * generic/tclThreadTest.c: changed thread ids to longs [Bug: 3902] * mac/tclMacOSA.c: fixed applescript for I18N [Bug: 3644] * win/mkd.bat: * win/rmd.bat: removed necessity of tag.txt [Bug: 3874] * win/tclWinThrd.c: changed CreateThread to _beginthreadex and ExitThread to _endthreadex 1999-12-12 Jeff Hobbs * doc/glob.n: * tests/fileName.test: * generic/tclInt.decls: * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclIntDecls.h: * generic/tclStubInit.c: * generic/tclEncoding.c: * generic/tclFileName.c: * mac/tclMacFile.c: * unix/tclUnixFile.c: * win/tclWinFile.c: enhanced the glob command with the new options -types -path -directory and -join.

[Bug: 2363] 1999-12-10 Jeff Hobbs * tests/var.test: * generic/tclCompile.c: fixed problem where setting to {} array would intermittently not work. (Fontaine) [Bug: 3339] * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: * generic/tclExecute.c: optimized INST_TRY_CVT_TO_NUMERIC to recognize boolean objects. (Spjuth) [Bug: 2815] * tests/info.test: * tests/parseOld.test: * generic/tclCmdAH.c: * generic/tclProc.c: changed Tcl_UplevelObjCmd (uplevel) and Tcl_EvalObjCmd (eval) to use TCL_EVAL_DIRECT in the single arg case as well, to take advantage of potential pure list input optimization. This means that it won't get byte compiled though, which should be acceptable. * generic/tclBasic.c: made Tcl_EvalObjEx pure list object aware in the TCL_EVAL_DIRECT case for efficiency. * generic/tclUtil.c: made Tcl_ConcatObj pure list object aware, and return a list object in that case [Bug: 2098 2257] * generic/tclMain.c: changed Tcl_Main to not constantly reuse the commandPtr object (interactive case) as it could be shared. (Fellows) * unix/configure.in: * unix/tcl.m4: * unix/tclUnixPipe.c: removed checking for compatible vfork function and use of the vfork function. Modern VM systems rarely suffer any performance degradation when fork is used, and it solves multiple problems with vfork. Users that still want vfork can add -Dfork=vfork to the compile flags. [Bug: 942 2228 1312] 1999-12-09 Jeff Hobbs * win/aclocal.m4: made it just include tcl.m4 * doc/exec.n: * doc/open.n: * win/tclWin32Dll.c: * win/tclWinChan.c: * win/tclWinFCmd.c: * win/tclWinInit.c: * win/tclWinPipe.c: * win/tclWinSock.c: removed all code that supported Win32s. It was no longer officially supported, and likely didn't work anyway. * win/makefile.vc: removed 16 bit stuff, cleaned up. * win/tcl16.rc: * win/tclWin16.c: * win/winDumpExts.c: these files have been removed from the source tree (no longer necessary to build) 1999-12-07 Jeff Hobbs * tests/io.test: removed 'knownBug' tests that were for unsupported0, which is now fcopy (that already has tests) * mac/tclMacPort.h: added utime.h include * generic/tclDate.c: * unix/Makefile.in: fixed make gendate to swap const with CONST so it uses the Tcl defined CONST type [Bug: 3521] * generic/tclIO.c: removed panic that could occur in FlushChannel when a "blocking" channel would receive EAGAIN, instead treating it the same as non-blocking. [Bug: 3773] * generic/tclUtil.c: fixed Tcl_ScanCountedElement to not step beyond the end of the counted string [Bug: 3336] 1999-12-03 Jeff Hobbs * doc/load.n: added note about NT's buggy handling of './' with LoadLibrary * library/http2.1/http.tcl: fixed error handling in http::Event [Bug: 3752] * tests/env.test: removed knownBug limitation from working test * tests/all.tcl: ensured that ::tcltest::testsDirectory would be set to an absolute path * tests/expr-old.test: * tests/parseExpr.test: * tests/string.test: * generic/tclGet.c: * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclObj.c: * generic/tclParseExpr.c: * generic/tclUtil.c: * generic/tclExecute.c: added TclCheckBadOctal routine to enhance error message checking for when users use invalid octal numbers (like 08), as well as replumbed the Expr*Funcs with a new VerifyExprObjType to simplify type handling. [Bug: 2467] * tests/expr.test: * generic/tclCompile.c: fixed 'bad code length' error for 'expr + {[incr]}' case, with new test case [Bug: 3736] and seg fault on 'expr + {[error]}' (different cause) that was caused by a correct optimization that didn't correctly track how it was modifying the source string in the opt. The optimization was removed, which means that: expr 1 + {[string length abc]} will be not be compiled inline as before, but this should be written: expr {1 + [string length abc]} which will be compiled inline for speed. This prevents expr 1 + {[mindless error]} from seg faulting, and only affects optimizations for degenerate cases [Bug: 3737] 1999-12-01 Scott Redman * generic/tcl.decls : * generic/tclMain.c : * unix/tclAppInit.c: * win/tclAppInit.c: Added two new internal functions, TclSetStartupScriptFileName() and TclGetStartupScriptFileName() and added hooks into the main() code for supporting TclPro and other "big" shells more easily without requiring a copy of the main() code. * generic/tclEncoding.c: * generic/tclEvent.c: Moved encoding-related startup code from tclEvent.c into the more appropriate tclEncoding.c. 1999-11-30 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclIO.c: fix from Kupries for Tcl_UnstackChannel that correctly handles resetting translation and encoding. * generic/tclLoad.c: #def'd out the unloading of DLLs at finalize time for Unix in TclFinalizeLoad. [Bug: 2560 3373] Should be parametrized to allow for user to specify unload or not. * win/tclWinTime.c: fixed handling of %Z on NT for time zones that don't have DST. 1999-11-29 Jeff Hobbs * library/dde1.1/pkgIndex.tcl: * library/reg1.0/pkgIndex.tcl: added supported for debugged versions of the libraries * unix/tclUnixPipe.c: fixed PipeBlockModeProc to properly set isNonBlocking flag on pipe. [Bug: 1356 710] removed spurious fcntl call from PipeBlockModeProc * tests/scan.test: * generic/tclScan.c: fixed scan where %[..] didn't match anything and added test case [Bug: 3700] 1999-11-24 Jeff Hobbs * doc/open.n: * win/tclWinSerial.c: adopted patch from Schroedter to handle fconfigure $sock -lasterror on Windows. [RFE: 3368] * generic/tclCmdIL.c: made SORTMODE_INTEGER work with Longs [Bug: 3652] 1999-11-23 Scott Stanton * library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Fixed bug where tcltest output went to stdout instead of the specified output file in some cases. 1999-11-19 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclProc.c: backed out change from 1999-11-18 as it could affect return string from upvar as well. * tools/tcl.wse.in: added tcltest1.0 library to distribution list * doc/http.n: * library/http2.1/http.tcl: * library/http2.1/pkgIndex.tcl: updated http package to 2.2 1999-11-18 Jeff Hobbs * unix/tcl.m4: added defined for _THREAD_SAFE in --enable-threads case; added check for pthread_mutex_init in libc; in AIX case, with --enable-threads ${CC}_r is used; fixed flags when using gcc on SCO * generic/tclProc.c: corrected error reporting for default case at the global level for uplevel command. * generic/tclIOSock.c: changed int to size_t type for len in TclSockMinimumBuffers. * generic/tclCkalloc.c: fixed Tcl_DbCkfree to return a value on NULL input. [Bug: 3400] * generic/tclStringObj.c: fixed support for passing in negative length to Tcl_SetUnicodeObj, et al handling routines. [Bug: 3380] * doc/scan.n: * tests/scan.test: * generic/tclScan.c: finished support for inline scan by supporting XPG identifiers. * doc/http.n: * library/http2.1/http.tcl: added register and unregister commands to http:: package (better support for tls/SSL), as well as -type argument to http::geturl. [RFE: 2617] * generic/tclBasic.c: removed extra decr of numLevels in Tcl_EvalObjEx that could cause seg fault. (mjansen@wendt.de) * generic/tclEvent.c: fixed possible lack of MutexUnlock in Tcl_DeleteExitHandler [Bug: 3545] * unix/tcl.m4: Added better pthreads library check and inclusion of _THREAD_SAFE in --enable-threads case Added support for gcc config on SCO * doc/glob.n: added note about ..../ glob behavior on Win9* * doc/tcltest.n: fixed minor example errors [Bug: 3551] 1999-11-17 Brent Welch * library/http2.1/http.tcl: Correctly fixed the -timeout problem mentioned in the 10-29 change. Also added error handling for failed writes on the socket during the protocol. 1999-11-09 Jeff Hobbs * doc/open.n: corrected docs for 'a' open mode. * generic/tclIOUtil.c: changed Tcl_Alloc to ckalloc * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclObj.c: rolled back changes from 1999-10-29 Purify noted new leaks with that code * generic/tclParse.c: added code in Tcl_ParseBraces to test for possible unbalanced open brace in a comment * library/init.tcl: removed the installed binary directory from the auto_path variable * tools/tcl.wse.in: updated to 8.3a1, fixed install of twind.tcl and koi8-r.enc files * unix/tcl.m4: added recognition of pthreads library for AIX 1999-10-29 Brent Welch * generic/tclInt.h: Modified the TclNewObj and TclDecrRefCount in two ways. First, in the case of TCL_THREADS, we do not use the special Tcl_Obj allocator because that is a source of lock contention. Second, general code cleanup to eliminate duplicated code. In particular, TclDecrRefCount now uses TclFreeObj instead of duplicating that code, so it is now identical to Tcl_DecrRefCount. * generic/tclObj.c: Changed Tcl_NewObj so it uses the TclNewObj macro instead of duplicating the code. Adjusted TclFreeObj so it understands the TCL_THREADS case described above. * library/http2.1/http.tcl: Fixed a bug in the handling of the state(status) variable when the -timeout flag is specified. Previously it was possible to leave the status undefined instead of empty, which caused errors in http::status 1999-10-28 Jeff Hobbs * unix/aclocal.m4: made it just include tcl.m4 * library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: updated makeFile to return full pathname of file created * generic/tclStringObj.c: fixed Tcl_AppendStringsToObjVA so it only iterates once over the va_list (avoiding a memcpy of it, which is not portable). * generic/tclEnv.c: fixed possible ABR error in environ array * tests/scan.test: * generic/tclScan.c: added support for use of inline scan, XPG3 currently not included * tests/incr.test: * tests/set.test: * generic/tclCompCmds.c: fixed improper bytecode handling of 'eval {set array($unknownvar) 5}' (also for incr) [Bug: 3184] * win/tclWinTest.c: added testvolumetype command, as atime is completely ignored for Windows FAT file systems * win/tclWinPort.h: added sys/utime.h to includes * unix/tclUnixPort.h: added utime.h to includes * doc/file.n: * tests/cmdAH.test: * generic/tclCmdAH.c: added time arguments to atime and mtime file command methods (support 'touch' functionality) 1999-10-20 Jeff Hobbs * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: fixed event/io threading problems by making triggerPipe non-blocking [Bug: 2792] * library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: * generic/tclThreadTest.c: fixed mem leaks in threads * generic/tclResult.c: fixed Tcl_AppendResultVA so it only iterates once over the va_list (avoiding a memcpy of it, which is not portable). * generic/regc_color.c: fixed mem leak and assertion, from HS * generic/tclCompile.c: removed savedChar trick that appeared to be causing a segv when the literal table was released * tests/string.test: * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: fixed [string index] to return ByteArrayObj when indexing into one (test case string-5.16) [Bug: 2871] * library/http2.1/http.tcl: protected gets with catch [Bug: 2665] 1999-10-19 Jennifer Hom * tests/tcltest.test: * doc/tcltest.n: * library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Removed the extra return at the end of the tcltest.tcl file, added version information about tcl. Applied patches sent in by Andreas Kupries to add helper procs for debug output, add 3 new flags (-testsdir, -load, -loadfile), and internally refactors common code for dealing with paths into separate procedures. [Bug: 2838, 2842] Merged code from core-8-2-1 branch that changes the checks for the value of tcl_interactive to also incorporate a check for the existence of the variable. * tests/autoMkindex.test: * tests/pkgMkIndex.test: Explicitly cd to ::tcltest::testsDirectory at the beginning of the test run * tests/basic.test: Use version information defined in tcltest instead of hardcoded version number * tests/socket.test: package require tcltest before attempting to use variable defined in tcltest namespace * tests/unixInit.test: * tests/unixNotfy.test: Added explicit exits needed to avoid problems when the tests area run in wish. 1999-10-12 Jim Ingham * mac/tclMacLoad.c: Stupid bug - we converted the filename to external, but used the unconverted version. * mac/tclMacFCmd.c: Fix a merge error in the bug fix for [Bug: 2869] 1999-10-12 Jeff Hobbs * generic/regc_color.c: * generic/regc_cvec.c: * generic/regc_lex.c: * generic/regc_locale.c: * generic/regcomp.c: * generic/regcustom.h: * generic/regerrs.h: * generic/regex.h: * generic/regexec.c: * generic/regguts.h: * generic/tclRegexp.c: * generic/tclTest.c: * tests/reg.test: updated to Henry Spencer's new regexp engine (mid-Sept 99).

[Bug: 2502] 1999-08-04 Scott Stanton * tests/reg.test: Added test for REG_EXPECT bug fixed by Henry's patch. * generic/regc_nfa.c: * generic/regcomp.c: * generic/rege_dfa.c: * generic/regexec.c: * generic/regguts.h: Applied patches supplied by Henry Spencer to greatly enhance the performance of certain classes of regular expressions. [Bug: 2440, 2447] 1999-08-03 Scott Redman * win/tclWinInt.h: Remove function declarations in header that was moved to tclInt.decls file in previous changes. 1999-08-02 Scott Redman * unix/configure.in: * win/configure.in: Change beta level to b2. * generic/tcl.h: * generic/tcl.decls: * generic/tclDecls.h: * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclInt.decls: * generic/tclIntDecls.h: * generic/tclRegexp.h: * generic/tclStubInit.c: Move some exported public and internal functions to the stub tables. Removed functions that are in the stub tables (from this and previous changes) from the original header files. 1999-08-01 Scott Redman * win/tclWinSock.c: Added comment block to SocketThread() function. Added code to avoid calling TerminateThread(), but instead to send a message to the socket event window to tell it to terminate its thread. 1999-07-30 Jennifer Hom * tests/tcltest.test: * library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Exit with non-zero status if there were problems with the way the test suite was started (e.g. wrong # arguments). 1999-07-30 Jeff Hobbs * generic/tclInt.decls: added declaractions necessary for the Tcl test code to work wth stubs [Bug: 2445] 1999-07-30 * win/tclWinPipe.c: * win/Makefile.in: Fixing launching of 16-bit apps on Win9x from wish. The command line was primed with tclpip82.dll, but it was ignored. Fixed that, then fixed the gmake makefile to build tclpip82.dll as an executable. * win/tclWinSock.c: Applied small patch to get thread-specific data after initializing the socket driver. * unix/tclUnixThrd.c: Applied patch to fix threads on Irix 6.5. Patch from James Dennett. [Bug: 2450] * tests/info.test: Enable test for tclParse.c change (info complete). 1999-07-30 * tclIO.c: added fix for Kupries' trf patch [Bug: 2386] * tclParse.c: fixed bug in info complete regarding nested square brackets [Bug: 2382, 2466] 1999-07-29 * win/tclWinChan.c: Allow tcl to open CON and NUL, even for std channels. Checking for bad/unusable std channels was moved to Tk since its only purpose was to check whether to use the Tk Console Window for the std channels. [Bug: 2393 2392 2209 2458] * unix/mkLinks.tcl: Applied patch to avoid linking pack.n to pack-old.n. Patch from Don Porter. [Bug: 2469] * doc/Encoding.n: Applied patch to fix typo in .SH NAME line. Patch from Don Porter. [Bug: 2451] * win/tclWinSock.c: Free Win32 Event handles when destroying the socket helper thread. 1999-07-28 * tests/tcltest.test: * library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Fixed the condition under which ::tcltest::PrintError had an infinite loop problem and added a test case for it. Added an optional argument to ::tcltest::getMatchingFiles telling it where to search for test files. 1999-07-27 * tools/tclSplash.bmp: Updated Windows installer bitmap to ready Tcl/Tk Version 8.2. 1999-07-26 * tests/tcltest.test: Need to close the new core file, there seems to be a hang in threaded WinNT if the file isn't closed. Open issue, need to fix that hang. * tests/httpold.test: Add time delay in response from Http server so that test cases can properly detect timeout conditions with threads enabled on multi-CPU WinNT. * tests/winFCmd.test: Test case winFcmd-1.33 was looking for c:\windows, which may not exist. Instead, create a new directory on c:\ and use it for the test. * win/tclWinConsole.c: * win/tclWinPipe.c: * win/tclWinSock.c: Fix terminating helper threads by holding any mutexes from the primary thread while waiting for the helper thread to terminate. Without these changes, the test suite hangs on WinNT with 2 CPUs and threads enabled. Open issue, seems to be a sporadic hang on dual CPU systems still (very rare). 1999-07-26 Jennifer Hom * tests/tcltest.test: * library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: * doc/tcltest.n: Cleaned up code in ::tcltest::PrintError, revised documentation, and added tests for the tcltest package. 1999-07-23 * tests/info.test: * generic/tclParse.c: Removed patch for info command, breaks test cases on Unix. Patch was bad and needs to be redone properly. [Bug: 2382] 1999-07-22 * Changed version to 8.2b2. * win/tclWinSock.c: Fixed hang with threads enabled, fixed semaphores with threads disabled. * win/safe.test: Fixed safe-6.3 with threads enabled. * win/Makefile.in: Fixed calling of tcltest to fix safe.test failures due to path TCL_LIBRARY path. * win/tclWinPort.h: Block out include of sys/*.h in order to build extensions with MetroWerks compiler for Win32.

[Bug: 2391] * unix/Makefile.in: Need to make install-sh executable before calling (with chmod +x). [Bug: 2413] * tests/var.test: * generic/tclVar.c: Fixed bug that caused a seg. fault when using "array set a(b) {}", which is a bad array name anyway. Now the "array set" command will return an error in this case. Added test case and fixed existing test. [Bug: 2427] 1999-07-21 * tests/info.test: * generic/tclParse.c: Applied patch to fix "info complete" for the string {[a [b]}. Patch from Peter Spjuth. [Bug: 2382] * doc/Utf.3: * generic/tcl.decls: * generic/tclDecls.h: * generic/tclUtf.c: Changed function declarations in non-platform-specific public APIs to use "unsigned long" instead of "size_t", which may not be defined on certain compilers (rather than include sys/types.h, which may not exist). * unix/Makefile.in: Added the Windows configure script to the distribution file list, already shipping configure.in and the .m4 files, but needed the configure script itself. * win/makefile.vc: Changed version number of DDE package in VC++ makefile to use 1.1 instead of 1.0. * doc/open.n: Added documentation of \\.\comX notation for opening serial ports on Windows (alternative to comX:). * tests/ioCmd.test: * doc/open.n: * win/tclWinSerial.c: Applied patch from Rolf Schroedter to add -pollinterval option to fconfigure to modify the maxblocktime used in the fileevent polling. Added documentation and fixed the test case as well. * win/tclWinSock.c: Modified 8.1.0 version of the Win32 socket driver to move the handling of the socket event window in a separate thread. It also turned out that Win95 & Win98 were, in some cases, getting multiple FD_ACCEPTs but only handling one. Added a count for the FD_ACCEPT to take care of this. Tested on NT4 SP3, NT4 SP4, Win95, and Win98. [Bug: 2178 2256 2259 2329 2323 2355] 1999-07-21 * README: Small tweaks to clean up typos and wording. 1999-07-20 Melissa Hirschl * generic/tclInitScript.h: * unix/tclUnixInit.c: merged code with 8.0.5. We now use an intermediate global tcl var "tclDefaultLibrary" to keep the "tcl_library" var from being set by the default value in the Makefile. Also fixed a bug in which caused the value of TCL_LIBRARY env var to be ignored. * unix/tclWinInit.c: just updated some comments. 1999-07-19 Melissa Hirschl * library/http2.1/http.tcl: updated -useragent text to say version 2.1. 1999-07-16 * generic/tcl.decls: * generic/tclDecls.h: * generic/tclStubInit.c: Add Tcl_SetNotifier to stub table. [Bug: 2364] * unix/aclocal.m4: * unix/tcl.m4: Add check for Alpha/Linux to correct the IEEE floating flag to the compiler, should be -mieee. Patch from Don Porter. * tools/tcl.hpj.in: Change version number of .cnt file referenced in .HPJ file. 1999-07-15 * tools/tcl.wse.in: Fixed naming of target files for Windows. 1999-07-14 * doc/re_syntax.n: Deleted sentence as suggested by Scott S. 1999-07-12 * doc/re_syntax.n: Removed two notes to myself (oops), cleaned up wording, fixed changebars, made two examples easier to read. 1999-07-11 * win/makefile.vc: Since the makefile.vc should continue to work while we're working out bugs/issues in the new TEA-style autoconf/configure/gmake build mechanism for Windows, the version numbers of the Tcl libraries need to remain in sync. Modified the version numbers in the makefile to reflect the change to 8.2b1. 1999-07-09 * win/configure.in: Eval DLLSUFFIX, LIBSUFFIX, and EXESUFFIX in the configure script so that substitutions get expanded before being placed in the Makefile. The "d" portion for debug libraries and DLLs was not being set properly. 1999-07-08 * tests/string.test: * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Fixed bug in string range bounds checking code. 1999-07-08 Jennifer Hom * doc/tcltest.n: * library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Removed -asidefromdir and -relateddir flags, removed unused ::tcltest::dotests proc, cleaned up implementation of core file checking, and fixed the code that checks for 1-letter flag abbreviations. 1999-07-08 * win/Makefile.in: Added tcltest target so runtest works properly. Added missing names to the clean/distclean targets. * tests/reg.test: * generic/rege_dfa.c: Applied fix supplied by Henry Spencer for bug in DFA state caching under lookahead conditions. [Bug: 2318] 1999-07-07 * doc/fconfigure.n: Clarified default buffering behavior for the standard channels. [Bug: 2335] 1999-07-06 * win/tclWinSerial.c: New implementation of serial port driver from Rolf Shroedter (Rolf.Schroedter@dlr.de) that allows more than one byte to be read from the port. Implemented using polling instead of threads, there is a max. 10ms latency between checking the port for file events. [Bug: 1980 2217] 1999-07-06 * library/http2.0/http.tcl: Fixed the -timeout option so it handles timeouts that occur during connection attempts to hosts that are down (the only case that really matters!) 1999-07-03 * doc/ChnlStack.3: * generic/tcl.decls: * generic/tclIO.c: Added a new variant of the "Trf patch" from Andreas Kupres that adds new C APIs Tcl_StackChannel, Tcl_UnstackChannel, and Tcl_GetStackedChannel. 1999-07-03 * generic/tclNotify.c: * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: * unix/tclXtTest.c: * unix/tclXtNotify.c: * win/tclWinNotify.c: * mac/tclMacNotify.c: Added Tcl_SetNotifier and the associated hook points in the notifiers to be able to replace the notifier calls at runtime The Xt notifier and test program use this hook. 1999-07-03 * generic/tclParse.c: Changed parsing of variable names to allow empty array names. Now "$(foo)" is a variable reference! Previous you had to use something like $::(foo), which is slower. This change is requested by Jean-Luc Fontaine for his STOOOP package. 1999-07-01 * generic/tclCmdAH.c: * generic/tclFCmd.c: Call TclStat instead of TclpStat in order to allow Tcl_Stat hooks to work properly. 1999-06-29 Jennifer Hom * library/tcltest1.0/pkgIndex.tcl: * library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: * doc/tcltest.n: * tests/all.tcl: Added -preservecore, -limitconstraints, -help, -file, -notfile, -relateddir and -asidefromdir flags to the tcltest package along with exported proc ::tcltest::getMatchingFiles. The documentation was modified to match and all.tcl was modified to use the new functionality instead of implementing -file itself. 1999-06-28 * generic/tclIndexObj.c: * doc/GetIndex.3: * tests/binary.test: * tests/winDde.test: Applied patch from Peter Hardie (with changes) to fix problem with Tcl_GetIndexFromObj() when the key being passed is the empty string. It used to match "" and return TCL_OK, but it should have returned TCL_ERROR instead. Added test case to "binary" and "dde" commands to check the behavior. Added documentation note as well. 1999-06-26 * win/tclWinDde.c: Applied patch from Peter Hardie to add poke command to dde. Also rev'd version of dde package to 1.1. [Bug: 1738] 1999-06-25 Jennifer Hom * unix/Makefile.in: * win/Makefile.in: * library/tcltest1.0/pkgIndex.tcl: * library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: * library/tcltest1.0: Added initial implementation of the Tcl test harness package. This package was based on the defs.tcl file that was part of the tests directory. Reversed the way that tests were evaluated to fix a problem with false passes. * doc/tcltest.n: Added documentation for the tcltest package. * tests/README: * tests/defs.tcl: * tests/all.tcl: Modified all test files (tests/*.test) and all.tcl to use the new tcltest package and removed references to the defs.tcl file. Modified the README file to point to the man page for tcltest. 1999-06-25 * tests/reg.test: * generic/regexec.c: Fixed bugs in non-greedy quantifiers. 1999-06-23 * doc/re_syntax.n: * doc/switch.n: * doc/lsearch.n: * doc/RegExp.3: * doc/regexp.n: * doc/regsub.n: Moved information about syntax of 8.1 regular expressions from regexp(n) manpage into new re_syntax(n) page. Added pointers from other manpages to new re_syntax(n) page. 1999-06-23 * unix/Makefile.in: Changed install-doc to install-man. * tools/uniParse.tcl: * tools/uniClass.tcl: * tools/README: * tests/string.test: * generic/regc_locale.c: * generic/tclUniData.c: * generic/tclUtf.c: * doc/string.n: Updated Unicode character tables to reflect latest Unicode 2.1 data. Also rationalized "regexp" and "string is" definitions of character classes. 1999-06-21 * unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpThreadCreate): Fixed memory leak where thread attributes were not being released. [Bug: 2254] 1999-06-17 * tests/regexp.test: * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: * generic/tclCmdIL.c: Changed to use new regexp interfaces. Added -expanded, -line, -linestop, and -lineanchor switches to regsub. * doc/RegExp.3: Documented the new regexp interfaces and the compile/execute flags. * generic/tclTest.c: * generic/tclRegexp.h: * generic/tclRegexp.c: * generic/tcl.h: * generic/tcl.decls: Renamed Tcl_RegExpMatchObj to Tcl_RegExpExecObj and added a new Tcl_RegExpMatchObj that is equivalent to Tcl_RegExpMatch. Added public macros for the regexp compile/execute flags. Changed to store either an object pointer or a string pointer in the TclRegexp structure. Changed to avoid adding a reference to the object or copying the string. * generic/regcomp.c: lint * tests/reg.test: * generic/regex.h: * generic/regc_lex.c: Added REG_BOSONLY flag to allow Expect to iterate through a string an only find matches that start at the current position within the string. 1999-06-16 * unix/configure.in: * unix/Makefile.in: * unix/tcl.m4: * unix/aclocal.m4: Numerous build changes to make Tcl conform to the proposed TEA spec 1999-06-16 Melissa Hirschl * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_VariableObjCmd): fixed premature increment in loop that was causing out-of-bounds reads on array "varName". 1999-06-16 * tests/execute.test: * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Fixed crash caused by a bug in INST_LOAD_SCALAR1 where the scalar index was read as a signed 1 byte value instead of unsigned. [Bug: 2243] 1999-06-14 Melissa Hirschl * doc/StringObj.3 * test/stringObj.test * unix/Makefile.in * win/Makefile.in * win/makefile.vc * generic/tclStringObj.c: Merged String and Unicode object types. Added new functions to the puplic API: Tcl_NewUnicodeObj, Tcl_SetUnicodeObj, Tcl_GetUnicode, Tcl_GetUniChar, Tcl_GetCharLength, Tcl_GetRange, Tcl_AppendUnicodeToObj. 1999-06-09 * generic/tclUnicodeObj.c: Lots of cleanup and simplification. Fixed several memory bugs. Added TclAppendUnicodeToObj. * generic/tclInt.h: Added declarations for various Unicode string functions. * generic/tclRegexp.c: * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Changed to use new Unicode string interfaces for better performance. * generic/tclRegexp.h: * generic/tclRegexp.c: * generic/tcl.h: * generic/tcl.decls: Added Tcl_RegExpMatchObj and Tcl_RegExpGetInfo calls to access lower level regexp API. These features are needed by Expect. This is a preliminary implementation pending final review and cleanup. * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: * tests/string.test: Fixed bug where string map failed on null strings. * generic/regexec.c: * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: lint * tools/genStubs.tcl: Changed to always write output in LF mode. 1999-06-08 * win/tclWinSock.c: Rolled back to the 8.1.0 implementation because of serious problems with the new driver. Basically no incoming socket connections would be reported to a server port. The 8.1.1 code needs to be redesigned and fixed correctly. 1999-06-07 Melissa Hirschl * tests/string.test: * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_SetVar2Ex): * generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_AppendObjToObj): * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): optimized the string index, string length, string range, and append command in cases where the object's internal rep is a bytearray. Objects with other internal reps are converted to have the new unicode internal rep. * unix/Makefile.in: * win/Makefile.in: * win/Makefile.vc: * tests/unicode.test: * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclObj.c: * generic/tclUnicodeObj.c: added a new object type to store the unicode representation of a string. * generic/tclTestObj.c: added the objtype option to the testobj command. This option returns the name of the type of internal rep an object has. 1999-06-04 * win/configure.in: * win/Makefile.in: Windows build now handles static/dynamic debug/nodebug builds and supports the standard targets using Cygwin user tools plus GNU make and autoconf. 1999-06-03 * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): * tests/string.test: Fixed bug where string equal/compare -nocase reported wrong result on null strings. [Bug: 2138] 1999-06-02 * generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UtfNcasecmp): Fixed incorrect computation of relative ordering. [Bug: 2135] 1999-06-01 * unix/configure.in: Fixed various small configure.in patches submitted by Jan Nijtmans. [Bug: 2121] * tests/reg.test: * generic/regc_color.c: * generic/regc_cvec.c: * generic/regc_lex.c: * generic/regc_locale.c: * generic/regc_nfa.c: * generic/regcomp.c: * generic/regcustom.h: * generic/rege_dfa.c: * generic/regerror.c: * generic/regerrs.h: * generic/regex.h: * generic/regexec.c: * generic/regfree.c: * generic/regfronts.c: * generic/regguts.h: * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: * generic/tclRegexp.c: * generic/tclRegexp.h: * generic/tclTest.c: Applied Henry Spencer's latest regexp patches that fix an infinite loop bug and add support for testing whether a string could match with additional input. [Bug: 2117] 1999-05-28 * generic/tclObj.c: Changed to eliminate use of isupper/tolower in favor of the Unicode versions. * win/Makefile.in: * win/configure.in: Added preliminary TEA implementation. * win/tclWinDde.c: Fixed bug where dde calls were being passed an invalid dde handle because Initialize had not been called. [Bug: 2124] 1999-05-26 * generic/tclThreadTest.c: Fixed race condition in testthread code that showed up in the WinNT test suite intermittently. * win/tclWinSock.c: Fixed a hang in the WinNT socket driver, wake up the socket thread every 100ms to check for events on the sockets that did not wake up the thread (race condition). 1999-05-24 * tools/genStubs.tcl: Changed to allow a list of platforms instead of just one at a time. * generic/tcl.decls: * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: * generic/tclDecls.h: * generic/tclInt.decls: * generic/tclIntDecls.h: * generic/tclPort.h: * generic/tclStubInit.c: * generic/tclStubLib.c: Various header file related changes and other lint to try to get the Mac builds working. 1999-05-21 * win/tclWinPipe.c: Fix bug when launching command.com on Win95/98. Need to wait for the procInfo.hProcess of the process that was created, not the hProcess of the current process. [Bug: 2105] 1999-05-20 * library/init.tcl: Add the directory where the executable is, and the ../lib directory relative to that, to the auto_path variable. 1999-05-19 Merged in various changes submitted by Jeff Hobbs: * generic/tcl.decls: * generic/tclUtf.c: Added Tcl_UniCharIs* functions for control, graph, print, and punct classes. * generic/tclUtil.c: * doc/StrMatch.3: Added Tcl_StringCaseMatch() implementation to support case-insensitive globbing. * doc/string.n: * unix/mkLinks: * tests/string.test: * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Added additional character class tests, added -nocase switch to "string match", changed string first/last to use offsets. 1999-05-19 * generic/tcl.h: Add extern "C" block around entire header file for C++ compilers to fix linkage issues. Submitted by Don Porter and Paul Duffin. * generic/tclRegexp.c: Fix bug when the regexp cache is empty and an empty pattern is used in regexp ( such as {} or "" ). 1999-05-18 * win/tclWinChan.c: Modified initialization code to avoid inherenting closed or invalid channels. If the standard input is anything other than a console, file, serial port, or pipe, then we fall back to the standard Tk window console. 1999-05-14 * generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_ForObjCmd): Fixed crash caused by failure to reset the result before evaluating the test expression. 1999-05-14 * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): Added introspection variable for threaded interps. If the interp was compiled with threads enabled, the tcl_platform(threaded) variable will exist. 1999-05-14 * generic/tclDate.c: Applied patch to fix 100-year and 400-year boundaries in leap year code, from Isaac Hollander. [Bug: 2066] 1999-05-13 * unix/Makefile.in: * unix/tclAppInit.c: Minor cleanup related to Xt notifier. * unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings): Tcl now looks for an encoding subfield in the LANG/LC_ALL variables in cases where the locale is not found in the locale table. Ensure that setlocale() is called at least once so X11 will initialize properly. Also, forces the LC_NUMERIC locale to be "C" so numeric processing in scripts is not affected by the current locale setting. [Bug: 1989] * generic/tclRegexp.c: Increased per-thread regexp cache to 30 slots. This seems to be about the right number for larger applications like exmh. [Bug: 1063] 1999-05-12 * doc/tclsh.1: Updated references to rc script names to accurately reflect the platform differences on Windows. * tests/regexp.test: * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclBasic.c: * generic/tclRegexp.h: * generic/tclRegexp.c: Replaced the per-interpreter regexp cache with a per-thread cache. Changed the Regexp object to take advantage of this extra cache. Added a reference count to the TclRegexp type so regexps can be shared by multiple objects. Removed the per-interp regexp cache from the interpreter. Now regexps can be used with no need for an interpreter. [Bug: 1063] * win/tclWinInit.c (TclpSetVariables): Avoid calling GetUserName if the value can be determined from the USERNAME environment variable. GetUserName is very slow. 1999-05-07 * win/winDumpExts.c: * win/makefile.vc: Removed incorrect patch. [Bug: 1998] * generic/tcl.decls: Replaced const with CONST. * generic/tclResult.c (Tcl_AppendResultVA): * generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_AppendStringsToObjVA): Fixed to copy arglist using memcpy instead of assignment so it works properly on OS/390. [Bug: 1997] * generic/tclLoadNone.c: Updated to use current interfaces, added TclpUnloadFile. [Bug: 2003] * win/winDumpExts.c: * win/makefile.vc: Changed to emit library name in defs file. [Bug: 1998] * unix/configure.in: Added fix for OS/390. [Bug: 1976] 1999-05-06 * tests/string.test: * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: * doc/string.n: Fixed bug in string equal/compare code when using -length option. Cleaned up docs a bit more. * tests/http.test: Unset "data" array before running tests to avoid failures due to previous tests. * doc/string.n: * tests/cmdIL.test: * tests/cmdMZ.test: * tests/error.test: * tests/ioCmd.test: * tests/lindex.test: * tests/linsert.test: * tests/lrange.test: * tests/lreplace.test: * tests/string.test: * tests/cmdIL.test: * generic/tclUtil.c: * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Replaced "string icompare/iequal" with -nocase and -length switches to "string compare/equal". Added a -nocase option to "string map". Changed index syntax to allow integer or end?-integer? instead of a full expression. This is much simpler with safeTcl scripts since it avoids double substitution issues. * doc/Utf.3: * generic/tclStubInit.c: * generic/tclDecls.h: * generic/tclUtf.c: * generic/tcl.decls: Added Tcl_UtfNcmp and Tcl_UtfNcasecmp. 1999-05-05 * win/makefile.vc: Added encoding directory to install-libraries target. 1999-05-03 * doc/string.n: * tests/cmdMZ.test: * tests/string.test: * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): Changed "string length" to avoid regenerating the string rep of a ByteArray object. * tests/cmdIL.test: * tests/cmdMZ.test: * tests/error.test: * tests/lindex.test: * tests/linsert.test: * tests/lrange.test: * tests/lreplace.test: * tests/string.test: * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): * generic/tclUtil.c (TclGetIntForIndex): Applied Jeff Hobbs's string patch which includes the following changes [Bug: 1845]: - string compare now takes optional length arg (for strncmp behavior) - added string equal (just a few lines of code blended in with string compare) - added string icompare/iequal for case-insensitive comparisons - string index's index can now be ?end[+-]?expression I made this change in the private TclGetIntForIndex, which means that the list commands also benefit, as well as string range, et al. - added [string repeat string count] Repeats given string number of times - added string replace, string equiv to lreplace (quasi opposite of string range): string replace first last ?string? Example of use, replacing end of string with ... should the string be more than 16 chars long: string replace $string 16 end "..." This just returns the string len < 16, so it will only affect the long strings. - added optional first and last args to string to* This allows you to just affect certain regions of a string with the command (like just capping the first letter). I found the original totitle to be too draconian to be useful. - added [string map charMap string] where charMap is a {from to from to} list that equates to what one might get from [array get]. Each and can be multiple chars (or none at all). For Tcl/CGI users, this is a MAJOR speed booster. * generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_ParseCommand): Changed to avoid modifying eval'ed strings that are already null terminated. [Bug: 1793] * tests/binary.test: * generic/tclBinary.c (DupByteArrayInternalRep): Fixed bug where type was not being set in duplicated object. [Bug: 1975, 2047] 1999-04-30 * Changed version to 8.1.1. 1999-04-30 * Merged changes from 8.1.0 branch: * generic/tclParse.c: Fixed memory leak in CommandComplete. * generic/tclPlatDecls.h: * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: * generic/tclIntDecls.h: * generic/tclDecls.h: * tools/genStubs.tcl: Added 'extern "C" {}' block around the stub table pointer declaration so the stub library can be used from C++. [Bug: 1934] * Lots of documentation and other release engineering fixes. 1999-04-28 * mac/tclMacResource.c: * generic/tclListObj.c: * generic/tclObj.c: * generic/tclStringObj.c: Changed to avoid freeing the string representation before freeing the internal rep. This helps with debugging since the string rep will still be valid when the free proc is invoked. 1999-04-27 * generic/tclLiteral.c (TclHideLiteral): Fixed so hidden literals get duplicated to avoid accidental sharing in the global object table. 1999-04-23 * generic/tclStubInit.c: * tools/genStubs.tcl: Changed to avoid the need for forward declarations in stub initializers. 1999-04-23 * library/encoding/koi8-r.enc: * tools/encoding/koi8-r.txt: Added support for the koi8-r Cyrillic encoding. [Bug: 1771] 1999-04-22 * win/tclWinFCmd.c: * win/tclWin32Dll.c: Changed uses of "try" to "__try", since that is the actual keyword. This eliminates the need for some -D flags from the makefile. * generic/tclPort.h: Added include of tcl.h since it defines various Windows macros that are needed before deciding which platform porting file to use. * generic/tclEvent.c: lint * win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitPlatform): Added call to TclWinInit when building a static library since DllMain will not be invoked. This could break old code that explicitly called TclWinInit, but should be simpler in the long run. 1999-04-22 Scott Stanton * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclInt.decls: * generic/tclCompile.c: Added TclSetByteCodeFromAny that takes a hook procedure to invoke after compilation but before the byte codes are emitted. This makes it possible to do postprocessing on the compiled byte codes before the ByteCode is generated. * generic/tclLiteral.c: Added TclHideLiteral and TclAddLiteralObj to make it possible to create local unshared literal objects. * win/tclWinInit.c: * unix/tclUnixInit.c: Changed initial search path to match that found used by tcl_findLibrary. 1999-04-22 * win/tclWinPort.h: * win/tclWinSock.c: Added code to use WinSock 2.0 API on NT to avoid creating a window to handle sockets. API not available on Win95 and needs to be fixed on Win98, until then continue to use the older (window-based) scheme on those two OSes. 1999-04-15 * Merged 8.1 back into the main trunk 1999-04-13 * library/encoding/gb2312.enc: * library/encoding/euc-cn.enc: * tools/encoding/gb2312.txt: * tools/encoding/cp950.txt: * tools/encoding/Makefile: Restored the double byte definition of GB2312 and added the EUC-CN encoding. EUC-CN is a variant of GB2312 that shifts the characters into bytes with the high bit set and includes ASCII as a subset. [Bug: 632] 1999-04-13 * win/tclWinSock.c: Apply patch to allow write access to a socket if FD_WRITE is sent but FD_CONNECT is not. Some strange problem with either Win32 or a socket driver. [Bug: 1664 1776] 1999-04-09 * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: Fixed notifier deadlock situation when the pipe used to talk back notifier thread is filled with data. When calling the write() function to feed data down that pipe, unlock the notifierMutex to allow the notifier to wake up again. Found as a result of the focus.test for Tk hanging. [Bug: 1700] 1999-04-06 * tests/unixNotfy.test: Fixed hang in tests when built with thread support. * tests/httpold.test: Fixed broken test that didn't wait long enough for events to arrive. * tests/unixInit.test: Fixed race condition in test. * tests/unixInit.test: * tests/fileName.test: Minor test nits. * unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings): Fixed bad initial encoding string. 1999-04-06 * generic/tclVar.c: * generic/tclEnv.c: Moved the "array set" C level code into a common routine (TclArraySet). The TclSetupEnv routine now uses this API to create an env array w/ no elements. * generic/tclEnv.c: * generic/tclWinInit.h: * generic/tclUnixInit.h: * generic/tclInt.h: Made the Env module I18N compliant. Changed the FindVariable routine to TclpFindVariable, that now does a case insensitive string comparison on Windows, and not on UNIX. [Bug: 1299, 1500] 1999-04-05 * tests/io.test: Minor test cleanup. * generic/tclEncoding.c (Tcl_CreateEncoding): Minor lint to make it easier to compile on Digital-unix. [Bug: 1659] * unix/configure.in: * unix/tclUnixPort.h: Applied patch for OS/390 to handle lack of sys/param.h. [Bug: 1725] * unix/configure.in: Fixed BSD/OS 4.* configuration to support shared libraries properly. [Bug: 1730] 1999-04-05 * win/tclWinDde.c: decrease timeout value for DDE calls to 30k [Bug: 1639] * generic/tcl.decls: * generic/tcl.h: * generic/tclDecls.h: * generic/tclInt.decls: * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclIntDecls.h: * generic/tclStubInit.c: * generic/tclUtil.c: Added more functions to the Tcl stubs table, including all Tcl_ functions not already in it (except Cmd functions) and Tcl_GetCwd() and Tcl_Chdir() (new functions). * tests/safe.test: * doc/safe.n: * generic/tclBasic.c: * library/safe.tcl: The encoding command is not safe as-is, so create a safe alias to mask out the "encoding system " but allow all other uses including "encoding system". Added test cases and updated the man page for Safe Tcl. 1999-04-05 * tests/winTime.test: * win/tclWinTime.c: Fixed crash in clock command that occurred when manipulating negative time values in timezones east of GMT. [Bug: 1142, 1458] * tests/platform.test: * tests/fileName.test: Fixed broken tests. * generic/tclFileName.c: Moved global regexps into thread local storage. * tests/socket.test: Changed so tests don't reuse sockets, since Windows is slow to release sockets. * win/tclWinConsole.c: * win/tclWinPipe.c: * win/tclWinSerial.c: Fixed race condition where background threads were terminated while they still held a lock in the notifier. 1999-04-02 * tests/http.test: Fixed bad test initialization code. * generic/tclThreadTest.c (ThreadExitProc): Fixed bug where static memory was being returned instead of a dynamically allocated result in error cases. 1999-04-02 * doc/dde.n: * tools/tcl.wse.in: * win/makefile.vc: * win/pkgIndex.tcl: * win/tclWinDde.c: Add new DDE package, code removed from Tk now separated into its own package. Changed DDE-based send code into "dde eval" command. Can be loaded into tclsh (not just wish). Windows only. 1999-04-02 * tests/expr.test: * tests/for-old.test: * tests/for.test: * tests/foreach.test: * tests/format.test: * tests/httpold.test: * tests/if.test: * tests/init.test: * tests/interp.test: * tests/while.test: Added some tests for known bugs (marked with knownBug constraint), and cleaned up a few bad tests. * generic/regc_locale.c: * generic/regcustom.h: * generic/tcl.decls: * generic/tclCmdIL.c: * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclRegexp.c: * generic/tclScan.c: * generic/tclTest.c: * generic/tclUtf.c: * win/tclWinFCmd.c: * win/tclWinFile.c: Made various Unicode utility functions public. The following functions were made public and added to the stubs table: Tcl_UtfToUniCharDString, Tcl_UniCharToUtfDString, Tcl_UniCharLen, Tcl_UniCharNcmp, Tcl_UniCharIsAlnum, Tcl_UniCharIsAlpha, Tcl_UniCharIsDigit, Tcl_UniCharIsLower, Tcl_UniCharIsSpace, Tcl_UniCharIsUpper, Tcl_UniCharIsWordChar 1999-04-01 * tests/registry.test: * win/tclWinReg.c: Internationalized the registry code. It now uses Unicode interfaces on NT. [Bug: 1197] * tests/parse.test: * generic/tclParse.c: Fixed crash due to multiple frees in parser during error cleanup when parsing commands with more tokens than will fit in the static area of the parse structure. [Bug: 1681] * generic/tclInt.h: Removed duplicate declarations. * generic/tclInt.decls: * generic/tcl.decls: Added Tcl_WinUtfToTChar and Tcl_WinTCharToUtf to the tclPlat table. 1999-04-01 * generic/tcl.decls: * generic/tcl.h: * generic/tclBasic.c: * generic/tclDecls.h: * generic/StubInit.c: * tools/genStubs.tcl: * unix/Makefile.in: * win/makefile.vc: Applied patch from Jan Nijtmans to fix Ultrix multiple symbol definition problem. Now, even Tcl includes a copy of the Tcl stub library. Also fixed TCL_MEM_DEBUG mode (for Tk). 1999-03-31 * win/tclWinConsole.c: WinNT has a bug when reading a single character from the console. Rewrote the code for the console to read an entire line at a time using the reader thread. 1999-03-30 * unix/Makefile.in: Removed trailing backslash that broke the "depend" target. * unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings): Changed to avoid calling setlocale(). We now look directly at env(LANG) and env(LC_CTYPE) instead. [Bug: 1636] * generic/tclFileName.c: * generic/tclDecls.h: * generic/tcl.decls: Removed CONST from Tcl_JoinPath and Tcl_TranslateFileName because it changes the signature of Tcl_JoinPath in an incompatible manner. * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclLoad.c (TclFinalizeLoad): * generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): Defer unloading of loadable modules until all exit handlers have been invoked. [Bug: 998, 1273, 1573, 1593] 1999-03-29 * generic/tclFileName.c: * generic/tclDecls.h: * generic/tcl.decls: Added CONST to Tcl_JoinPath and Tcl_TranslateFileName. 1999-03-29 * tools/genStubs.tcl: * unix/configure.in: * unix/Makefile.in: * win/makefile.vc: * generic/tcl.h: * generic/tclBasic.c: * generic/tclDecls.h: * generic/tclIntDecls.h: * generic/tclPlatDecls.h: * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: Removed the stub functions and changed the stub macros to just use the name without params. Pass &tclStubs into the interp (don't use tclStubsPtr because of collisions with the stubs on Solaris). 1999-03-27 * win/makefile.bc: Removed makefile for Borland compiler, no longer supported. 1999-03-26 * win/tclWinSerial.c: * win/tclWinConsole.c: * win/tclWinPipe.c: Don't close the Win32 handle for a channel if it's a stdio handle (GetStdHandle()) during shutdown of a thread to prevent it from destroying the stdio of other threads. 1999-03-26 * unix/configure.in --nameble-shared is now the default and build Tcl as a shared library; specify --disable-shared to build a static Tcl library and shell. 1999-03-25 * tests/interp.test: * generic/tclInterp.c (AliasObjCmd): Changed so aliases are invoked at current scope in the target interpreter instead of at the global scope. This was an incompatibility introduced in 8.1 that is being removed. [Bug: 1153, 1556] * library/encoding/big5.enc: * library/encoding/gb2312.enc: * tools/encoding/big5.enc: * tools/encoding/gb2312.enc: Added ASCII to big5 and gb2312 encodings. [Bug: 632] * generic/tclPkg.c (Tcl_PkgRequireEx): Fixed broken clientData initialization in package code. * unix/Makefile.in (dist): Added tcl.decls and tclInt.decls to source distribution. [Bug: 1571] * doc/Thread.3: Updated documentation of Tcl_MutexLock to indicate that the recursive locking behavior is undefined. On Windows, it does not block, on Unix it deadlocks. [Bug: 1275] 1999-03-24 * tests/execute.test: * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Fixed expression code that incorrectly returned floating point values for integers if the internal rep happened to be a double. Now we check to see if the object has a string rep that looks like an integer before using the double internal rep. [Bug: 1516] 1999-03-24 * generic/tclAlloc.c: * generic/tclEncoding.c: * generic/tclProc.c: * unix/tclUnixTime.c: * win/tclWinSerial.c: Fixed compilation warnings/errors for VC++ 5.0 and 6.0 and HP-UX native compiler without -Aa or -Ae. [Bug: 1323 1518 1324 1583 1585 1586] * win/tclWinSock.c: Make sockets thread-safe on Windows. The current implementation uses windows to handle events on the socket, one for each thread (thread local storage). Previously, there was only one window shared between threads, which didn't work. [Bug: 1326] 1999-03-23 * tools/tcl.wse: Fixed file association to look in the right place for the wish icon. [Bug: 1544] * tests/winNotify.test: * tests/ioCmd.test: * tests/event.test: Changed to use new style conditionals. * tests/encoding.test: Fixed nonportable test. * unix/dltest/configure.in: * unix/dltest/Makefile.in: Added missing DBGX macros. [Bug: 1564] * tests/winNotify.test: * mac/tclMacNotify.c: * win/tclWinNotify.c: * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: * generic/tclNotify.c: Added a new Tcl_ServiceModeHook interface that is invoked whenever the service mode changes. This is needed to allow the Windows notifier to create a communication window the first time Tcl is about to enter an external modal event loop instead of at startup time. This will avoid the various problems that people have been seeing where the system hangs when tclsh is running outside of the event loop. [Bug: 783] * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tcl.decls: Renamed TclpAlertNotifier back to Tcl_AlertNotifier since it is part of the public notifier driver API. 1999-03-23 * win/tclWinSerial.c: Fixed problem with fileevent on the serial port and nonblocking mode. Gets no longer hangs, fileevents fire whenever there is any character data on the port. * tests/winConsole.test: * win/tclWinConsole.c: Fixed problem with fileevents and gets from a console stdin. Previously, fileevents were firing before an entire line was available for reading, which meant that when you did a gets or read, it blocked (even in nonblocking mode). Now, it should work the same as Unix: fileevents fire when an entire line is ready, and gets and read do not block in non-blocking mode. Added an interactive test case to check for this. 1999-03-22 * tests/reg.test: * generic/regc_color.c: Applied regexp bug fix from Henry Spencer. 1999-03-19 * generic/tclCmdIL.c: Fixed the initialization of an array so that the Sun 5.0 C compiler wouldn't complain. * unix/configure.in: Added support for --enable-64bit. For now, this is only supported on Solaris 7 64bit (SunOS 5.7) using the Sun compiler (not gcc). 1999-03-18 * win/tclWinChan.c (TclpOpenFileChannel, Tcl_MakeFileChannel): Changed to only test for console or comm handles when the type is FILE_TYPE_CHAR to avoid useless tests on simple files. Also reordered tests so consoles are tested first as this is more common. * win/makefile.vc: Regularized usage of mkd and rmd and rm. * library/encoding/shiftjis.enc: * tools/encoding/shiftjis.txt: Missing/incorrect characters in shift-jis table. [Bug: 1008, 1526] * generic/tclInt.decls: * generic/tcl.decls: Eliminated use of "string" and "list" from argument lists to avoid conflicts with C++ STL. [Bug: 1181] * win/tclWinFile.c (TclpMatchFiles): Changed to ignore the FS_CASE_IS_PRESERVED bit and always return exactly what we get from the system. 1999-03-17 * win/README.binary: * win/README: * unix/configure.in: * generic/tcl.h: * README: Updated version to 8.1b3. 1999-03-14 * win/tclWinConsole.c: * win/tclWinPipe.c: * win/tclWinSerial.c: Changed so channel drivers wait for the reader/writer threads to exit before returning during a close operation. This ensures that the main thread is the last thread to exit, so the process return value is set properly. * generic/tclIntDecls.h: * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: * generic/tclIntPlatStubs.c: * generic/tclIntStubs.c: * generic/tclPlatDecls.h: * generic/tclPlatStubs.c: * generic/tclStubInit.c: * generic/tclStubs.c: Fixed bad eol characters. * generic/tclInt.decls: Changed "const" to "CONST" in declarations for better portability. * generic/tcl.decls: Renamed panic and panicVA to Tcl_Panic and Tcl_PanicVA in the stub files. * generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_MakeSafe): Remove tcl_platform(user) from safe interps. 1999-03-11 * unix/Makefile.in: * unix/configure.in: Include compat files in the stub library in addition to the main library. Compat files are now built for dynamic use in all cases. * generic/tcl.h: Changed magic number so it doesn't match the plus patch, at Jan's request. * unix/tclConfig.sh.in: * unix/dltest/Makefile.in: * unix/dltest/configure.in: * unix/dltest/pkga.c: * unix/dltest/pkgb.c: * unix/dltest/pkgc.c: * unix/dltest/pkgd.c: * unix/dltest/pkge.c: * unix/dltest/pkgf.c: Changed package tests to build against the stubs library. 1999-03-10 * generic/tcl.h: * generic/tcl.decls: Changed Tcl_ReleaseType from an enum to macros so it can be used in .rc files. Added Tcl_GetString. * mac/tclMacNotify.c: * generic/tclNotify.c: * generic/tclInt.h: * win/tclWinNotify.c: * generic/tcl.h: Renamed Tcl_AlertNotifier to TclpAlertNotifier. * generic/tclInt.decls: Added TclWinAddProcess to make it possible for expect to use Tcl_WaitForPid(). This patch is from Gordon Chaffee. * mac/tclMacPort.h: * win/tclWinInit.c: * unix/tclUnixPort.h: * generic/tclAsync.c: Added TclpAsyncMark to fix bug in async handling on Windows where async events don't wake up the event loop. This patch comes from Gordon Chaffee. * generic/tcl.decls: Fixed declarations of reserved slots. 1999-03-10 * generic/tclCompile.h: Ensure that the ByteCode struct is binary compatible with the version in 8.0.6. * generic/tcl.h: * generic/tclBasic.c: Add Tcl_GetVersion() function to the public C API to allow programs to check the version number of the Tcl library at runtime. Also added an enum to clarify the release level (alpha, beta, final). 1999-03-09 * Integrated changes from Tcl 8.0 including: stubs mechanism configure patches from Jan Nijtmans rename of panic to Tcl_Panic 1999-03-08 * win/tclWin32Dll.c: Removed Dll instance from thread-local storage. 1999-03-08 * generic/tcl.h: Moved Tcl_Mutex, etc. macros above the inclusion of tclDecls.h to avoid macro conflicts. * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/regc_color.c: * generic/regcomp.c: * generic/tclCmdIL.c: * generic/tclCmdAH.c: * generic/tclIOCmd.c: * generic/tclParse.c: * generic/tclStringObj.c: * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: Cleaned up various compiler warnings, eliminated UCHAR bugs. * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: * unix/tclUnixThrd.c: * generic/tclThreadTest.c: * mac/tclMacThrd.c: Changed TclpCondition*() to Tcl_Condition*(). * INTEGRATED PATCHES FROM 8.0.6: * generic/tcl.decls: * generic/tcl.h: * generic/tclBasic.c: * generic/tclDecls.h: * generic/tclInt.decls: * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclIntDecls.h: * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: * generic/tclIntPlatStubs.c: * generic/tclIntStubs.c: * generic/tclPlatDecls.h: * generic/tclPlatStubs.c: * generic/tclStubInit.c: * generic/tclStubLib.c: * generic/tclStubs.c: * tools/genStubs.tcl: * unix/configure.in: * unix/Makefile.in: * unix/tclConfig.sh.in: * win/makefile.vc: * win/tclWinPort.h: Added Tcl stubs implementation. There are now two new macros USE_TCL_STUBS and USE_TCL_STUB_PROCS that enable use of stubs and disable stub macros respectively. All of the public and private function declarations from tcl.h and tclInt.h have moved into the *.decls files and the *Stubs.c and *Decls.h files are generated using the genStubs.tcl script. * unix/Makefile.in: * unix/configure.in: * unix/ldAix: Enhanced AIX shared library support. * win/tclWinSock.c: Removed a bunch of extraneous PASCAL FAR attributes from internal functions. * win/tclWinReg.c: Changed registry package to use stubs mechanism so it no longer depends on the specific version of Tcl. * doc/AddErrInfo.3: * doc/Eval.3: * doc/PkgRequire.3: * doc/SetResult.3: * doc/StringObj.3: * generic/tcl.h: * generic/tclBasic.c: * generic/tclPanic.c: * generic/tclStringObj.c: * generic/tclUtil.c: * unix/mkLinks: Added va_list versions of all VARARGS functions so they can be invoked from the stub functions. * doc/package.n: * doc/PkgRequire.3: * generic/tclPkg.c: Added Tcl_PkgProvideEx, Tcl_RequireEx, Tcl_PresentEx, and Tcl_PkgPresent. Added "package present" command. * generic/tclFileName.c: * mac/tclMacFile.c: * mac/tclMacShLib.exp: * unix/tclUnixFile.c: * win/tclWinFile.c: Changed so TclGetUserHome is defined on all platforms, even though it is currently a noop on mac and windows, and renamed it to TclpGetUserHome. * generic/tclPanic.c: * generic/panic.c: Renamed panic to Tcl_Panic. 1999-02-25 * win/makefile.vc: Added tclWinConsole.c and tclWinSerial.c * win/tclWinConsole.c: New code to properly deal with fileevents and nonblocking mode on consoles. * win/tclWinSerial.c: New code to properly deal with fileevents and nonblocking mode on serial ports. * win/tclWinPipe.c: * win/tclWinPort.h: Exported functions to allow creation of pipe channels from tclWinChan.c * win/tclWinChan.c: Check the type of a channel, including for the standard (stdin/stdout/stderr), and use the correct channel type to create the channel (file, serial, console, or pipe). 1999-02-11 * README: * generic/tcl.h: * win/README.binary: * win/README: * unix/configure.in: * mac/README: Updated version numbers to 8.1b2. 1999-02-10 * library/auto.tcl: Fixed auto_mkindex so it handles .tbc files. Did some general cleanup to handle bad eval statements that didn't use "list". * unix/mkLinks: * doc/SetVar.3: * generic/tcl.h: * generic/tclVar.c: Restored Tcl_ObjGetVar2 and Tcl_ObjSetVar2 from 8.0. Renamed Tcl_Get/SetObjVar2 to Tcl_GetVar2Ex and Tcl_SetVar2Ex. 1999-02-10 INTEGRATED PATCHES FROM 8.0.5b2: * test/winPipe.test: Changed to remove echoArgs.tcl temporary file when done. * tests/cmdAH.test: * generic/tclFileName.c (TclGetExtension): Changed behavior so the split happens at the last period in the name instead of the first period of the last run of periods. So, "foo..o" is split into "foo." and ".o" now. [Bug: 1126] * win/makefile.vc: Added better support for paths with spaces in the name. Added .lib and support .dlls to the install-binaries target. Added generate of a pkgIndex.tcl script to the install-libraries target. * win/tclAppInit.c: * unix/tclAppInit.c: * mac/tclMacAppInit.c: * generic/tclTest.c: Changed some EXTERN declarations to extern since they are not defining exported interfaces. This avoids generating useless declspec() attributes and makes the windows makefile simpler. * generic/tcl.h: Moved Tcl_AppInit declaration to end and cleared out TCL_STORAGE_CLASS so it is not declared with a declspec(). * tests/interp.test: * generic/tclInterp.c (DeleteAlias): Changed to use Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken so we handle renames properly. This avoids senseless panic. [Bug: 736] * unix/tclUnixChan.c: * win/tclWinSock.c: * doc/socket.n: Applied Gordon Chaffee's patch to handle failures during asynchronous socket connection operations. This adds a new "-error" fconfgure option to socket channels. [Bug: 893] * generic/tclProc.c: * generic/tclNamesp.c: * generic/tclInt.h: * generic/tclCmdIL.c: * generic/tclBasic.c: * generic/tclVar.c: Applied patch from Viktor Dukhovni to rationalize TCL_LEAVE_ERR_MSG behavior when creating variables. * generic/tclVar.c: Fixed bug in namespace tail computation. Fixed bug where upvar could resurrect a namespace variable whose namespace had been deleted. * generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileExprCmd): Eliminated yet another bogus optimization in expression compilation. * unix/configure.in: Added branch for BSD/OS-4* to shared library case statement. [Bug: 975] Fixed to correctly handle IRIX 6.5 n32 library support. [Bug: 1117] * win/winDumpExts.c: Patched to be pickier about stripping @'s. [Bug: 920] * library/http2.0/http.tcl: Added catch around eof test in CopyDone since the user may have already called http::reset. [Bug: 1108] * unix/configure.in: Changed Linux and IRIX to set SHLIB_LIBS to LIBS so shared libraries are linked with the system libraries. [Bug: 1018] * generic/tclCompile.c (CompileExprWord): Fixed exception stack overflow bug caused by missing statement. [Bug: 928] * generic/tclIOCmd.c: * generic/tclBasic.c: Objectified the "open" command. [Bug: 1113] * generic/tclPosixStr.c (Tcl_ErrnoId, Tcl_ErrnoMsg): When using egcs, ENOTSUP and EOPNOTSUPP are the same, so now we handle that case. [Bug: 1137] * library/init.tcl: Various small changes requested by Jan Nijtmans. - If the variable $tcl_library contains the empty string, this empty string will be put in $auto_path. This is not useful at all, it only slows down later package processing. - If the variable tcl_pkgPath is not set, the "unset __dir" fails. Thich makes init.tcl totally unusable. Better put a "catch" around it. - In the function tcl_findLibraries, the "string match" function only works correctly if $tcl_patchLevel is in one of the forms "?.?a?", "?.?b?" or "?.?.?". Could a "regexp" be used instead, then it allows anything to be appended to the patchLevel string. And it is more efficient. - The tclPkgSetup function assumes that if $type != "load" then the type must be "source". This needn't be true. Some users want to add their own setup types. [RFE: 1138] [Bug: 978] * win/tclWinReg.c: * doc/registry.n: Added support for HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA and HKEY_DYN_DATA keys. [Bug: 1109] * win/tclWinInit.c (TclPlatformInit): Added code to ensure tcl_pkgPath is set to "" when no registry entry is found. [Bug: 978] 1999-02-01 * generic/tclBasic.c: * generic/tclCmdAH.c: * generic/tclCmdIL.c: * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: * generic/tclExecute.c: * generic/tclHistory.c: * generic/tclIO.c: * generic/tclIOUtil.c: * generic/tclInterp.c: * generic/tclMain.c: * generic/tclNamesp.c: * generic/tclParse.c: * generic/tclProc.c: * generic/tclTest.c: * generic/tclTimer.c: * generic/tcl.h: Made eval interfaces compatible with 8.0 by renaming Tcl_EvalObj to Tcl_EvalObjEx, renaming Tcl_Eval2 to Tcl_EvalEx and restoring Tcl_EvalObj and Tcl_GlobalEvalObj interfaces so they match Tcl 8.0. 1999-01-28 * Merged Tcl 8.0.5b1 changes. * generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_DStringSetLength): Changed so the buffer overallocates in a manner similar to Tcl_DStringAppend. This should improve performance for TclUniCharToUtfDString. 1998-12-11 === Tcl 8.1b1 Release === 1998-12-10 * Fixed lots of files that used TCL_THREAD instead of TCL_THREADS. * generic/tclEncoding.c (Tcl_FreeEncoding): Moved most of the code into a static FreeEncoding routine that does not grab the encodingMutex to avoid deadlocks/races when called from other routines that already have the mutex. 1998-12-09 * library/msgcat1.0/msgcat.tcl: Fixed bad export list, fixed so all locale strings are converted to lower case, including file names. * generic/regcomp.c (makescan): Fixed bug in longest match case that caused anchored patterns to fail. [Bug: 897] 1998-12-08 * library/msgcat1.0/msgcat.tcl: changed mc to invoke mcunknown in the calling context, changed locale lookups to be case insensitive 1998-12-07 * generic/tclAlloc.c (TclpRealloc): Fixed a memory allocation bug where big blocks that were reallocated into a different heap location were not being placed into the bigBlocks list. [Bug: 933] * tests/msgcat.test: Added message catalog test suite. * library/msgcat1.0/msgcat.tcl: minor bug fixes, integrated latest changes from Mark Harrison. 1998-12-04 * library/msgcat1.0/msgcat.tcl: Changed code to conform to Tcl coding standards. Changed to use file join for portability. * library/msgcat1.0: Added initial implementaion of Tcl message catalog package contributed by Mark Harrison. 1998-12-03 * win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Fixed bug that kept arguments containing spaces from being properly quoted. * tests/defs: Changed so auto_path is set to only contain the Tcl library directory. This keeps the tests from accidentally picking up stuff in installed packages. * generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_StringMatch): Changed to match 8.0 behavior in corner case where there is no closing bracket. 1998-12-02 * win/tclWinPipe.c (TclpCreateCommandChannel): Changed reader/writer threads to have THREAD_PRIORITY_HIGHEST so they will have a chance to run whenever there is something to do. * generic/tclIO.c (WriteBytes, WriteChars): Fixed so extraneous flushes do not happen in line mode. (TranslateOutputEOL): Made translation more efficient in line mode and fixed a buffer overflow bug in CRLF translation. [Bug: 887] 1998-12-02 * Updated patchlevel to 8.1b1 1998-12-02 * generic/regc_color.c (subcolor): Added check for error case to avoid an out of bounds array reference. * generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_EncodingObjCmd): Changed to avoid using Tcl_DStringResult because it is not binary clean. * generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_ParseCommand): Fixed bug in comment parsing where a trailing comment looked like an incomplete command. 1998-12-02 * Merged changes from 8.0.4, especially the new pkg_mkIndex 1998-12-01 * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_ReadChars): Added a call to UpdateInterest so we don't block when there is data sitting in the buffers. * generic/tclTest.c (TestevalobjvObjCmd): Updated for EvalObjv change. * tests/parse.test: Updated tests for EvalObjv change. * generic/tclParse.c (EvalObjv, Tcl_EvalObjv): Changed Tcl_EvalObjv interface to remove string and length arguments, preserved original interface as EvalObjv for internal use. * generic/tcl.h: Changed Tcl_EvalObjv interface to remove string and length arguments. * doc/Eval.3: Updated documentation for Tcl_EvalObjv to remove string and length arguments. * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileForeachCmd): Fixed code that corrupted the exceptDepth value in the compile environment when foreach failed to compile inline. [Bug: 884] * library/encoding/euc-kr.enc: * library/encoding/ksc5601.enc: * tools/encoding/ksc5601.txt: * unix/tclUnixInit.c: Added support for Korean EUC. * win/tclWinChan.c (TclpGetDefaultStdChannel): added check for a failure during Tcl_MakeFileChannel. 1998-11-30 * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): Fixed hang that occurs when trying to close a pipe that is currently being waited on by the notifier thread. [Bug: 607] * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (GetPermissionsAttribute): Increase size of returnString buffer to avoid overflow. [Bug: 584] * generic/tclThreadTest.c (TclThreadSend): Fixed memory leak due to use of TCL_VOLATILE instead of TCL_DYNAMIC. * generic/tclThread.c (TclRememberSyncObject): Fixed memory leak caused by failure to reuse condition variables. * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: (Tcl_AlertNotifier, Tcl_WaitForEvent, NotifierThreadProc, Tcl_InitNotifier): Fixed race condition caused by incorrect use of condition variables when sending messages between threads.. [Bug: 607] * generic/tclTestObj.c (TeststringobjCmd): MAX_STRINGS was off by one so the strings array was too small. * generic/tclCkalloc.c (Tcl_DbCkfree): Moved mutex lock so ValidateMemory is done inside the mutex to avoid a race condition when validate_memory is enabled. [Bug: 880] 1998-11-23 * regexec.c: more performance tuning from Henry Spencer. 1998-11-17 * tclScan.c: moved "scan" implementation out of tclCmdMZ.c and added Unicode support. This required a complete reimplementation of the command to avoid using scanf(), which isn't Unicode aware. Two new features were added in the process: %n to return the current number of characters consumed, and XPG3-style %n$ argument order specifiers similar to those provided by the "format" command. [Bug: 833] * tclAlloc.c: changed so allocated memory is always 8-byte aligned to improve memory performance and to ensure that it will work on systems that don't like accessing 4-byte aligned values (e.g. Solaris and HP-UX). [Bug: 834] 1998-11-06 * tclVar.c (TclGetIndexedScalar): Fixed bug 796, var name was getting lost before being passed to CallTraces. 1998-10-21 * added "encoding" command * Moved internal regexp declarations from tclInt.h to tclRegexp.h * integrated regexp updates from Henry Spencer 1998-10-15 * tclUtf.c: added Unicode character table support * tclInt.h: added TclUniCharIsWordChar * tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): added "totitle" subcommand, changed "wordend" and "wordstart" to properly handle Unicode word characters and connector punctuation 1998-10-05 * auto.tcl, package.tcl: fixed SCCS strings * tclIndex: updated index to reflect 8.1 files * tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): changed to avoid modifying the input string in place because name lookup operations could have arbitrary side effects * tclInterp.c: added guard against deleting current interpreter * tclMacFile.c, tclUnixFile.c, tclWinFile.c, tclFileName.c: added warnings around code that modifies strings in place * tclExecute.c: fixed off-by-one copying error, fixed merge bugs * tclEvent.c: changed so USE_TCLALLOC is tested for value instead of definition * tclCompCmds.c: replaced SCCS strings, added warnings around code that modifies strings in place * interp.test: added test for interp deleting itself 1998-09-30 * makefile.vc: fixed so TCL_LIBRARY is set before running tcltest * tclWin32Dll.c: removed TclpFinalize, cleanup of merges
