+
+ * win/tclWinReg.c: Bump to registry 1.1.5 to account
+ * library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl: for [1682211] bug fix.
+
+2007-05-10 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h: TclFinalizeThreadAlloc() is always defined,
+ so make sure it is also always declared.
+
+ [Tcl Bug 1706140]
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Trace*Proc): Update Tcl_VarTraceProcs so
+ * generic/tclLink.c (LinkTraceProc): that they call
+ * generic/tclUtil.c (TclPrecTraceProc): Tcl_InterpDeleted() for
+ themselves, and do not rely on (frequently buggy) setting of the
+ TCL_INTERP_DESTROYED flag by the trace core.
+
+ * generic/tclVar.c: Update callers of CallVarTraces to not
+ pass in the TCL_INTERP_DESTROYED flag. Also apply filters so that
+ public routines only pass documented flag values down to lower level
+ routines.
+
+ * generic/tclVar.c (CallVarTraces): The setting of the
+ TCL_INTERP_DESTROYED flag is now done entirely within the
+ CallVarTraces routine, the only place it can be done right.
+
+2007-04-30 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/Makefile.in: add 'tclsh' dependency to install targets that rely

+ * generic/tclInt.h: to get the correct type signature
+ * unix/tclUnixPort.h: for TclpLocaltime and TclpGmtime.
+ * unix/tclUnixTime.c: CONST TclpTime_t is a 'time_t *CONST'
+ * win/tclWinTime.c: and not a 'CONST time_t*' [Bug 1677275]
+ * generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+ * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: Regenerated.
+
+2007-03-24 Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * win/tclWinThrd.c: Thread exit handler marks the current
+ thread as un-initialized. This allows exit handlers that
+ are registered later to re-initialize this subsystem in
+ case they need to use some sync primitives (cond variables)
+ from this file again.
+
+2007-03-19 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_CreateThread): Replaced some calls to
+ * generic/tclPkg.c (CheckVersion): Tcl_Alloc() with calls to
+ * unix/tclUnixTime.c (SetTZIfNecessary): ckalloc(), which better
+ * win/tclAppInit.c (setargv): supports memory debugging.
+
+2007-03-17 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+ * win/tclWinReg.c (GetKeyNames): Size the buffer for enumerating

+ from CFLAGS to CPPFLAGS to avoid errors about multiple -isysroot flags
+ from some older gcc builds.
+
+ * unix/configure: autoconf-2.13
+
+2007-01-22 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * compat/memcmp.c (memcmp): Fixed the VOID / CONST typo introduced
+ by the last checkin.
+
+2007-01-22 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

+ OSSpinLock(Un)Lock API.
+
+ * tests/env.test: add extra system env vars that need to be preserved

+
+ * unix/tcl.m4: ensure CPPFLAGS env var is used when set. [Bug 1586861]
+ (Darwin): add -isysroot and -mmacosx-version-min flags to CPPFLAGS when
+ present in CFLAGS to avoid discrepancies between what headers configure

+ * doc/string.n: Fix example. [Bug 1615277]
+
+2006-12-05 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * tests/pkg.test: Backport to 8.4 (Don Porter's work):
+ * generic/tclPkg.c: When no requirements are supplied to a [package
+ require $pkg] and [package unknown] is invoked to find a satisfying
+ package, pass the requirement argument "0-" (which means all versions
+ are acceptable). This permits a registered [package unknown] command
+ to call [package vsatisfies $testVersion {*}$args] without any special
+ handling of the empty $args case. This fixes/avoids a bug in
+ [::tcl::tm::UnknownHandler] that was causing old TM versions to be
+ provided in preference to newer TM versions. Thanks to Julian Noble
+ for discovering the issue.

+2006-08-22 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): Fixed broken if syntax
+ committed 2006-08-21 by Daniel. The broken syntax is visible to all
+ unix platforms, but not on OSX for machines which HAVE_COREFOUNDATION.
+
+2006-08-21 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+ of the cwdPathPtr. [Bug 1536142]
+
+2006-08-21 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): if the run loop is
+ already running (e.g. if Tcl_WaitForEvent was called recursively),
+ re-run it in a custom run loop mode containing only the source for the
+ notifier thread, otherwise wakeups from other sources added to the
+ common run loop modes might get lost; sync panic msg changes from
+ HEAD.
+
+ * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): on 64-bit Darwin,
+ pthread_cond_timedwait() appears to have a bug that causes it to wait
+ forever when passed an absolute time which has already been exceeded
+ by the system time; as a workaround, when given a very brief timeout,
+ just do a poll on that platform. [Bug 1457797]
+
+ * unix/tclUnixPort.h (Darwin): override potentially faulty configure
+ detection of termios availability in all cases, since termios is known
+ to be present on all Mac OS X releases since 10.0. [Bug 497147]
+
+2006-08-18 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): add support for --enable-64bit on x86_64, for
+ universal builds including x86_64, for 64-bit CoreFoundation on
+ Leopard and for use of -mmacosx-version-min instead of
+ MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET.
+ * unix/configure: autoconf-2.13
+
+ * generic/tcl.h: add fixes for building on Leopard and support
+ * unix/tclUnixPort.h: for 64-bit CoreFoundation on Leopard.
+
+ * unix/tclUnixPort.h: on Darwin x86_64, disable use of vfork as it
+ causes execve to fail intermittently. (rdar://4685553)
+
+ * macosx/README: updates for x86_64 support and Xcode 2.4.
+
+ * unix/tclUnixChan.c (TclUnixWaitForFile): with timeout < 0, if
+ select() returns early (e.g. due to a signal), call it again instead
+ of returning a timeout result. Fixes intermittent event-13.8 failures.
+
+2006-08-09 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclEncoding.c: Replace buffer copy in for loop with
+ call to memcpy(). Thanks to afredd. [Patch 1530262]
+
+2006-08-03 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess): for USE_VFORK: ensure
+ standard channels are initialized before vfork() so that the child
+ doesn't potentially corrupt global state in the parent's address
+ space.
+
+2006-07-30 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+ * tests/clock.test: Allowed UTC as a synonym for GMT in two tests that
+ indirectly invoke 'strftime' with the result of 'gmtime' to fix a
+ bogus test failure on FreeBSD systems. [Bug 1513489]
+
+2006-07-30 Joe English <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * doc/AppInit.3: Fix typo [Bug 1496886]
+
+2006-07-20 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (Tcl_InitNotifier, Tcl_WaitForEvent):
+ create notifier thread lazily upon first call to Tcl_WaitForEvent()
+ rather than in Tcl_InitNotifier(). Allows calling exeve() in processes
+ where the event loop has not yet been run (Darwin's execve() fails in
+ processes with more than one thread), in particular allows embedders
+ to call fork() followed by execve(), previously the pthread_atfork()
+ child handler's call to Tcl_InitNotifier() would immediately recreate
+ the notifier thread in the child after a fork.
+
+ * macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (Tcl_InitNotifier): add support for
+ * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (DoRenameFile, CopyFileAtts): weakly importing
+ * unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings): symbols not
+ available on OSX 10.2 or 10.3, enables binaires built on later OSX
+ versions to run on earlier ones.
+ * macosx/README: document how to enable weak-linking; cleanup.
+ * unix/tclUnixPort.h: add support for weak-linking; conditionalize
+ AvailabilityMacros.h inclusion; only disable realpath on 10.2 or
+ earlier when threads are enabled.
+ * unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpLoadMemoryGetBuffer): change runtime Darwin
+ * unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitPlatform): release check to use
+ global initialized once
+ * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (DoRenameFile, TclpObjNormalizePath): add runtime
+ Darwin release check to determine if realpath is threadsafe.
+ * unix/configure.in: add check on Darwin for compiler support of weak
+ * unix/tcl.m4: import and for AvailabilityMacros.h header; move
+ Darwin specific checks & defines that are only relevant to the tcl
+ build out of tcl.m4; restrict framework option to Darwin; cleanup
+ quoting.
+ * unix/configure: autoconf-2.13
+
+ * unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpLoadMemory):
+ * unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess): fix signed-with-unsigned
+ comparison and other warnings from gcc4 -Wextra.
+
+2006-07-13 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * unix/tclUnixPort.h: Added the inclusion of <AvailabilityMacros.h>.
+ The missing header caused the upcoming #if conditions to wrongly
+ exclude realpath, causing file normalize to ignore symbolic links in
+ the path.
+
+2006-07-11 Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclAsync.c: Made Tcl_AsyncDelete() more tolerant when called
+ after all thread TSD has been garbage-collected.
+
+2006-07-10 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_CreateChannel): allow Tcl std channel
+ inheritance to be #defined out (default remains in).
+
+2006-06-15 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * changes: changes to start prep for an 8.4.14 release.
+
+2006-06-14 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/tclUnixPort.h (Darwin): support for MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED

+ use API available in the indicated OS version or earlier.
+
+2006-06-14 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/regerror.c: Enable building Tcl with Microsoft's latest
+ * generic/tcl.h: compiler offering (VS2005). We have to handle
+ * generic/tclDate.c: a number of oddities as they have deprecated
+ * tests/env.test: most of the standard C library and now

+2006-06-13 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

+ Forte 6. [Bug 1503729]
+
+2006-06-06 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * doc/GetStdChan.3: Added recommendation that each call to
+ Tcl_SetStdChannel() be accompanied by a call to Tcl_RegisterChannel().
+
+2006-05-31 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/tclNamesp.c (NamespaceInscopeCmd): revert [Bug 1400572]
+ fix of 2006-01-09 for [namespace inscope] as it seems to mess with
+ itcl scope decoding. Leaving namespace-29.6 test failure until final
+ cause it determined.
+
+2006-05-29 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/tcl.h (Tcl_DecrRefCount): use if/else construct to allow
+ placement in unbraced outer if/else conditions. (jcw)
+
+2006-05-27 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: implemented pthread_atfork() handler that
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): recreates CoreFoundation state and notifier
+ thread in the child after a fork(). Note that pthread_atfork() is
+ available starting with Tiger only. Because vfork() is used by the core
+ on Darwin, [exec]/[open] are not affected by this fix, only extensions
+ or embedders that call fork() directly (such as TclX). However, this
+ only makes fork() safe from corefoundation tcl with --disable-threads;
+ as on all platforms, forked children may deadlock in threaded tcl due
+ to the potential for stale locked mutexes in the child. [Patch 923072]
+ * unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
+
+2006-05-24 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_SYSTEM): Fixed quoting of command script to
+ awk; it was a rarely used branch, but it was wrong. [Bug 1494160]
+
+2006-05-13 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclFileName.c (TclDoGlob): Disabled the partial
+ normalization done by the recursive glob routine, since changing the
+ precise string of the pathname broke [glob] on some Tcl_Filesystems.
+ [Bug 943995]
+
+ * generic/tclProc.c (ProcCompileProc): When a bump of the compile
+ epoch forces the re-compile of a proc body, take care not to
+ overwrite any Proc struct that may be referred to on the active
+ call stack. This fixes [Bug 1482718]. Note that the fix will not be
+ effective for code that calls the private routine TclProcCompileProc()
+ directly.
+
+2006-05-05 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main): Corrected flaw that required
+ * tests/main.test: (Tcl_Main-4.5): processing of one interactive

+ same manner as any other key. [Bug 1464039]
+
+2006-04-04 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclPkg.c: Revised Bug 1162286 fix from 2005-11-08 to be
+ * tests/pkg.test: even more forgiving of package version
+ mismatch errors in [package ifneeded] commands, not even logging any
+ warning messages. This further reduces the
+ ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** noted for that change.
+
+2006-04-03 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclIO.c (ReadChars): Added check, panic and commentary to a
+ piece of code which relies on BUFFER_PADDING to create enough space at
+ the beginning of each buffer for the insertion of partial multibyte
+ data at the beginning of a buffer. Commentary explains why this code
+ is OK, and the panic is as a precaution if someone twiddled the
+ BUFFER_PADDING into uselessness.
+
+ * generic/tclIO.c (ReadChars): Temporarily suppress the use of
+ TCL_ENCODING_END set when EOF was reached while the buffer we are
+ converting is not truly the last buffer in the queue. Together with
+ the Utf bug below it was possible to completely wreck the buffer data
+ structures, eventually crashing Tcl. [Bug 1462248]
+
+ * generic/tclEncoding.c (UtfToUtfProc): Stop accessing memory beyond
+ the end of the input buffer when TCL_ENCODING_END is set and the last
+ bytes of the buffer start a multi-byte sequence. This bug contributed
+ to [Bug 1462248].
+

+
+ Fixed a thread-safety problem with the process list. The delayed cut

+
+2005-11-18 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

+ ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** noted for that change.
+
+2005-11-18 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclIO.c (TclFinalizeIOSubsystem): Applied Pat Thoyts' patch
+ for [Bug 1359094]. This moves the retrieval of the next channel state
+ to the end of the loop, as the called closeproc may close other
+ channels, i.e., modify the list we are iterating, invalidating any
+ pointer retrieved earlier.
+
+2005-11-18 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>

+
+ * tests/cmdAH.test: Backported the fix for [Bug 926016] because of
+ * win/tclWinFile.c: a repeated bug report in 8.4 [Bug 1353840].
+ Windows [file mtime] will now return seconds from the Posix epoch
+ correctly (except for FAT32 file systems after a DST change without a
+ reboot - for which there is no help). A side effect is that file times
+ will appear different in Tcl from the way they do in Windows Explorer
+ or a 'dir' listing, because the Microsoft tools get the DST state
+ wrong in the listings.
+
+2005-11-09 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+

+

+
+2005-11-08 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/expr.test: Portable tests expr-46.13-18 [Bug 1341368]
+
+ * generic/tclPkg.c: Corrected inconsistencies in the value returned
+ * tests/pkg.test: by Tcl_PkgRequire(Ex) so that the returned
+ values will always agree with what is stored in the package database.
+ This way repeated calls to Tcl_PkgRequire(Ex) have the same results.
+ Thanks to Hemang Lavana. [Bug 1162286]
+ ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***: Incompatible with those existing
+ packages that are accustomed to the [package] command forgiving
+ their bugs.
+
+ * tests/namespace.test (25.7,8): Backport test of knownBug.
+
+2005-11-08 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclTraceVariableObjCmd, TraceVarProc): Applied
+ Miguel's fix for [Bug 1348775]. It is not quite as elegant as the one
+ applied to the HEAD, but it is easier to use it rather than fully
+ backporting.
+
+2005-11-07 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * tests/trace.test (trace-13.2-4): added tests to detect leak, see
+ [Bug 1348775].
+
+2005-11-04 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/tcl.m4: Added code to enable [load] on LynxOS. Thanks to

+
+ * unix/configure: autoconf-2.13.
+
+2005-11-04 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * win/tclWinPipe.c: Applied [Patch 1267871] by Matt Newman which
+ * win/tclWinPort.h: provides extended error code support.
+ * tests/exec.test: Wrote some tests for this feature.
+
+2005-11-04 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+ * generic/tclGetDate.y: Added abbreviations for the Korean timezone.
+ * generic/tclDate.c: Regenerated.
+
+ * compat/strftime.c: Fixed a problem where the name of the time zone

+
+2005-11-03 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+ assumption that all command traces are set at the script level.
+ Report/fix from Jacques H. de Villiers. [Bug 1337941]
+
+ * tests/expr-old.test (expr-32.52): Use int(.) to restrict result
+ of left shift to the C long range.

+2005-10-29 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/expr.test: Fix problems in new round() tests that lead to

+
+2005-10-29 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TraceVarProc): [Bug 1337229], partial fix.
+ Ensure that a second call with TCL_TRACE_DESTROYED does not lead to a
+ second call to Tcl_EventuallyFree(). It is still true that that second
+ call should not happen, so the bug is not completely fixed.
+ * tests/trace.test (test-18.3-4): added tests for [Bugs 1337229 and

+ *** 8.4.11 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
+
+ * library/auto.tcl: Reverted to Revision 1.12.2.3 (Tcl 8.4.9).
+ Restores the (buggy) behavior of [auto_reset] that fails to clear
+ away auto-loaded commands from non-global namespaces. Fixing this
+ bug exposed an unknown number of buggy files out there (including at
+ least portions of the Tk script library) that cannot tolerate double

+
+ * generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize):
+ * generic/tclInt.h:
+ * generic/tclPreserve.c (TclFinalizePreserve): Changed the
+ finalization logic so that Tcl_Preserve finalizes after exit
+ handlers run; a lot of code called from Tk's exit handlers
+ presumes tha Tcl_Preserve will still work even from an exit
+ handler. Also, made the assertion check that no exit handlers

+
+ * win/tclWinChan.c: More rewriting of __asm__ blocks that

+ * unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclFinalizePipes): management until after
+ * win/tclWinPipe.c (TclFinalizePipes): all channels have been
+ closed, in order to avoid a situation where the Windows
+ PipeCloseProc2 would re-establish the exit handler after exit
+ handlers had already run, corrupting the heap. [Bug 1225727]
+ Corrected a read of uninitialized memory in PipeCloseProc2, which (at

+ either fail or hang. [Bug 1225044]
+
+2005-06-22 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h: Followup to change made on 2005-06-18 by Daniel
+ Steffen. There are compilers (*) who error out on the redefinition of

+2005-06-21 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/winDde.test: Added some waits to the dde server script to

+ we exit the server process. This avoids 'server did not respond'
+ errors.
+
+2005-06-21 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+ * generic/tclFileName.c: Corrected a problem where a directory name

+
+2005-06-18 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h: ensure WORDS_BIGENDIAN is defined correctly with
+ fat compiles on Darwin (i.e. ppc and i386 at the same time), the
+ configure AC_C_BIGENDIAN check is not sufficient in this case because
+ a single run of the compiler builds for two architectures with

+
+ * compat/string.h: fixed memchr() protoype for __APPLE__ so that we

+
+ * generic/tclNotify.c (TclFinalizeNotifier): fixed notifier not being
+ finalized in unthreaded core (was testing for notifier initialization
+ in current thread by checking thread id != 0 but thread id is always 0
+ in untreaded core).
+
+ * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): sync with HEAD: only declare
+ and use timeout var in unthreaded core.
+
+ * unix/Makefile.in: added @PLAT_SRCS@ to SRCS and split out
+ NOTIFY_SRCS from UNIX_SRCS for parity with UNIX_OBJS & NOTIFY_OBJS.
+
+ * unix/configure.in: only run check for broken strstr implementation
+ if AC_REPLACE_FUNCS(strstr) hasn't already determined that strstr is
+ unavailable, otherwise compat/strstr.o will be used twice (resulting
+ in duplicate symbol link errors on Mac OS X 10.1)
+
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): added configure checks for recently added
+ linker flags -single_module and -search_paths_first to allow building
+ with older tools (and on Mac OS X 10.1), use -single_module in
+ SHLIB_LD and not just T{CL,K}_SHLIB_LD_EXTRAS, added unexporting from

+
+2005-04-19 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinPipe.c: The pipe channel driver now respects the -blocking
+ option when closing. The windows pipe driver now has the same behavior
+ as the UNIX side. This change is to avoid a hung shell when exiting
+ due to open pipes that refuse to close in a graceful manner.
+ * doc/open.n: Added a note about -blocking 0 and lack of exit status
+ as it had never been documented. [Bug 947693]
+
+ ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+
+ Scripts that use async pipes on windows, must (like the UNIX side) set
+ -blocking to 1 before calling [close] to receive the exit status.
+
+ * tests/winPipe.test (winpipe-6.1/2): added 'fconfigure $f -blocking
+ 1' so the exit status can be acquired.
+
+2005-04-13 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_SetChannelBufferSize): Lowest size limit
+ * tests/io.test: changed from ten bytes to one byte. Need for
+ * tests/iogt.test: this change was proven by Ross Cartlidge
+ <rossc@cisco.com> where [read stdin 1] was grabbing 10 bytes followed
+ by starting a child process that was intended to continue reading from
+ stdin. Even with -buffersize set to one, nine chars were getting lost
+ by the buffersize over reading for the native read() caused by [read].

+
+ * macosx/README: updated requirements for OS & developer tool versions

+
+2005-04-05 Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ Set of changes correcting huge memory waste (not a leak) when a thread

+ This fixes the [Bug 1178445].
+

+2004-09-10 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (INST_CONCAT1): added a peephole optimisation
+ for concatting an empty string. This enables replacing the idiom 'K $x
+ [set x {}]' by '$x[set x {}]' for fastest execution.
+
+2004-09-09 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_ForgetImport): Corrected faulty logic that
+ * tests/namespace.test: relied exclusively on string matching and
+ failed in the presence of [rename]s. [Bug 560297]
+ Also corrected faulty prevention of [namespace import] cycles. [Bug
+ 1017299]
+
+2004-09-08 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+ * compat/strftime.c (_conv): Corrected a problem where hour 0 would
+ format as a blank format group with %k.
+ * tests/clock.test (clock-41.1): Added regression test case for %k at
+ the zero hour.
+
+2004-09-07 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+ * generic/tclTimer.c: Removed a premature optimisation that attempted
+ to store the assoc data in the client data; the optimisation caused a
+ bug that [after] would overwrite its imports. [Bug 1016167]
+
+2004-09-02 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

+ Rob Ratcliff for reporting the bug.
+
+2004-07-30 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): Re-organized Tcl_Finalize so

+ * unix/tclConfig.sh.in: replaced EXTRA_CFLAGS with CFLAGS.
+ * unix/dltest/Makefile.in: replaced EXTRA_CFLAGS with DEFS.

+
+2004-07-19 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

+ to override m4 switches.
+ Consolidate header checks to limit redundancy in configure.
+ (CFLAGS_WARNING): Remove -Wconversion, add -fno-strict-aliasing for

+
+2004-07-19 Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>

+ Fixes [Bug 987967]
+
+2004-07-16 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_FcopyObjCmd): Corrected a typo in the
+ generation of error messages and simplified by reusing data in a
+ variable instead of retrieving the string again. Fixes [Bug 835289]
+
+ * doc/OpenFileChnl.3: Added description of the behaviour of
+ Tcl_ReadChars when its 'charsToRead' argument is set to -1. Fixes [Bug
+ 934511]
+
+ * doc/CrtCommand.3: Added note that the arguments given to the command

+ 414778]
+
+ * doc/ChnlStack.3: Removed the declaration that the interp argument to

+ Marco Maggi <marcomaggi@users.sourceforge.net>.
+
+ * tests/socket.test: Accepted two new testcases by Stuart Casoff
+ <stwo@users.sourceforge.net> checking that -server and -async don't go

+
+ * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (NotifierThreadProc): Accepted Joe Mistachkin's

+
+ * generic/tclEvent.c (NewThreadProc): Backout of changes to fix [Bug

+
+ * generic/tclNotify.c (TclFinalizeNotifier): Added conditional
+ notifier finalization based on the fact that an TclInitNotifier has

+ Hopefully this time w/o unwanted side-effects.
+
+2004-07-14 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclIO.h (CHANNEL_INCLOSE): New flag. Set in Tcl_Close
+ * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_UnregisterChannel): while the close callbacks
+ * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Close): are run. Checked in
+ Tcl_Close and Tcl_Unregister to prevent recursive call of [close] in
+ the close-callbacks. This is a possible error made by implementors of
+ virtual filesystems based on 'tclvfs', thinking that they have to
+ close the channel in the close handler for the filesystem.
+
+2004-07-14 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclIO.c:
+ * generic/tclIO.h:
+ Not reverting, but #ifdef'ing the changes from May 19, 2004 out of the
+ core. This removes the ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for channel
+ drivers it introduced. This has become possible due to Expect gaining
+ a BlockModeProc and now handling blockingg and non-blocking modes
+ correctly. Thus [Bug 943274] is still fixed if a recent enough version
+ of Expect is used.
+
+ * doc/CrtChannel.3: Added warning about usage of a channel without a
+ BlockModeProc.
+
+2004-07-15 Andreas Kupries <andreask@pliers.activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_PutsObjCmd): Added length check to the old

+
+2004-07-13 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+

+
+2004-07-13 Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>

+
+2004-07-03 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (ExprRoundFunc):

+
+ * tests/unixNotfy.test: rewritten to use tcltest::threadReap to
+ gracefully wait for the test thread to exit. Otherwise we got a race
+ condition with main thread exiting before the test thread. This
+ exposed the long-standing Tcl lib issue with resource
+ garbage-collection on application exit.
+
+2004-06-21 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * win/tclWin32Dll.c (DllMain, _except_dllmain_detach_handler)

+2004-06-10 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclDecls.h: Regenerated on a unix box. The Win/DOS

+
+2004-06-10 Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c: partially corrected [Bug 932314]. Also,

+2004-06-05 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+ * generic/tcl.h: Corrected Tcl_WideInt declarations so that the mingw
+ build works again.
+ * generic/tclDecls.h: Changes to the tests for
+ * generic/tclInt.decls: clock frequency in Tcl_WinTime
+ * generic/tclIntDecls.h: so that any clock frequency is
+ * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: accepted provided that all
+ * generic/tclPlatDecls.h: CPU's in the system share a
+ * generic/tclStubInit.c: common chip, and hence,
+ * tests/platform.test (platform-1.3): presumably, a common clock.
+ * win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclWinCPUID): This change necessitated a
+ * win/tclWinTest.c (TestwincpuidCmd) small burst of assembly code
+ * win/tclWinTime.c (Tcl_GetTime): to read CPU ID information,
+ which was added as TclWinCPUID in the internal Stubs. To test this
+ code in the common case of a single-processor machine, a
+ 'testwincpuid' command was added to tclWinTest.c, and a test case in
+ platform.test. Thanks to Jeff Godfrey and Richard Suchenwirth for
+ reporting this bug. [Bug 976722]
+
+2004-05-27 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+ * tests/clock.test: Added a single test for the presence of %G in
+ [clock format], and conditioned out the clock-10.x series if they're
+ all going to fail because of a broken strftime() call. [Bug 961714]
+
+2004-05-27 Reinhard Max <max@suse.de>
+
+ * generic/tclEncoding.c:
+ * tests/encoding.test: added support and tests for translating

+ representation on input/output. [Bug 949905]
+
+2004-05-26 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Correction to debug prints and testing
+ * library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl: if TCLTEST_OPTIONS value. Corrected
+ * tests/tcltest.test: double increment of numTestFiles in
+ -singleproc 1 configurations. Updated tcltest-19.1 to tcltest 2.1
+ behavior. Corrected tcltest-25.3 to not falsely report a failure in

+
+2004-05-25 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * doc/http.n (http::config): add -urlencoding option (default utf-8)
+ * library/http/http.tcl: that specifies encoding conversion of
+ * library/http/pkgIndex.tcl: args for http::formatQuery. Previously
+ * tests/http.test: undefined, RFC 2718 says it should be
+ utf-8. 'http::config -urlencoding {}' returns previous behavior,
+ which will throw errors processing non-latin-1 chars. Bumped http
+ package to 2.5.0.
+
+2004-05-25 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+ * tests/winFCmd.test: Correct test for the presence of a CD-ROM so
+ that it doesn't misdetect some other sort of filesystem with a
+ write-protected root as being a CD-ROM drive. [Bug 918267]
+
+2004-05-24 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (VerifyExprObjType): use GET_WIDE_OR_INT to
+ properly have tclIntType used for smaller values. This corrects TclX
+ bug 896727 and any other 3rd party extension that created math
+ functions but was not yet WIDE_INT aware in them.
+
+2004-05-24 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+

+ referring to namespace.n for details [Bug 959180]
+
+2004-05-22 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclVar.c (TclObjUnsetVar2): backported fix [Bug 735335] and
+ new (in tcl8.4) exteriorisations of [Bug 736729] due to the use of
+ tclNsVarNameType obj types. The consequences of [Bug 736729] should be
+ the same as in tcl8.3 and previous versions. The use of
+ tclNsVarNameType objs is still disabled, pending a decision by the
+ release manager.
+
+2004-05-19 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+ * win/tclWinFile.c (TclpMatchInDirectory): fix for an issue where
+ there was a sneak path from Tcl_DStringFree to SetErrorCode(0). The
+ result was that the error code could be reset between a call to
+ FindFirstFile and the check of its status return, leading to a bizarre
+ error return of {POSIX unknown {No error}}. (Found in unplanned test -
+ no incident logged at SourceForge.)
+
+2004-05-19 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclIO.c: Fixed [SF Tcl Bug 943274]. This is the same problem
+ * generic/tclIO.h: as [SF Tcl Bug 462317], see ChangeLog entry
+ 2001-09-26. The fix done at that time is incomplete. It is possible to
+ get around it if the actual read operation is defered and not executed
+ in the event handler itself. Instead of tracking if we are in an read
+ caused by a synthesized fileevent we now track if the OS has delivered
+ a true event = actual data and bypass the driver if a read finds that
+ there is no actual data waiting. The flag is cleared by a short or
+ full read. [[this bug amended 2004-07-14]]

+
+ * compat/strftime.c (_fmt, ISO8601Week):

+
+ * generic/tclInt.decls: Restored TclpTime_t kludge to all places
+ * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: where it appeared before the changes of

+2004-05-14 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+ * generic/tclInt.decls: Promoted TclpLocaltime and TclpGmtime
+ * generic/tclIntDecls.h: from Unix-specific stubs to the generic
+ * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: internal Stubs table. Reran 'genstubs'
+ * generic/tclStubInit.c:
+ * unix/tclUnixPort.h:
+
+ * generic/tclClock.c: Changed a buggy 'GMT' timezone specification to
+ the correct 'GMT0'. [Bug 922848]
+
+ * unix/tclUnixThrd.c: Moved TclpGmtime and TclpLocaltime to
+ unix/tclUnixTime.c where they belong.
+
+ * unix/tclUnixTime.c (TclpGmtime, TclpLocaltime, TclpGetTimeZone,
+ (ThreadSafeGMTime[removed], ThreadSafeLocalTime[removed],
+ (SetTZIfNecessary, CleanupMemory): Restructured to make sure that the
+ same mutex protects all calls to localtime, gmtime, and tzset. Added a
+ check in front of those calls to make sure that the TZ env var hasn't
+ changed since the last call to tzset, and repeat tzset if necessary.
+ [Bug 940278] Removed a buggy test of the Daylight Saving Time
+ information in 'gettimeofday' in favor of applying 'localtime' to a

+
+ * tests/clock.test (clock-3.14): Added test to make sure that changes
+ to $env(TZ) take effect immediately.
+
+ * win/tclWinTime.c (TclpLocaltime, TclpGmtime): Added porting layer
+ for 'localtime' and 'gmtime' calls.
+
+2004-05-10 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Append a space when the path
+ got primed.
+ (TclpCreateProcess): When under NT, with no console, and executing a
+ DOS application, the path priming does not need an ending space as
+ BuildCommandLine() will append one for us.
+
+2004-05-07 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * doc/unset.n: added upvar.n to the "see also" list
+
+2004-05-05 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * generic/tclEvent.c: TclSetLibraryPath's use of caching the stringrep
+ of the pathPtr object to TclGetLibraryPath called from another thread
+ was ineffective if the original's stringrep had been invalidated as
+ what happens when it gets muted to a list.
+
+ * generic/tclEncoding.c: Added FreeEncoding(systemEncoding) in
+ TclFinalizeEncodingSubsystem because its ref count was incremented in
+ TclInitEncodingSubsystem.
+
+ * win/tclWin32Dll.c: Structured Exception Handling added around
+ Tcl_Finalize called from DllMain's DLL_PROCESS_DETACH. We can't be
+ 100% assured that Tcl is being unloaded by the OS in a stable
+ condition and we need to protect the exit handlers should the stack be
+ in a hosed state. AT&T style assembly for SEH under MinGW included,
+ too. [Patch 858493]
+
+ Also added DisableThreadLibraryCalls() for the DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH
+ case. We're not interested in knowing about DLL_THREAD_ATTACH, so
+ disable the notices.
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h:
+ * generic/tclThread.c:
+ * generic/tclEvent.c:
+ * unix/tclUnixThrd.c:
+ * win/tclWinThrd.c: Provisions made so masterLock, initLock,
+ allocLock and joinLock mutexes can be recovered during Tcl_Finalize.
+
+ * win/tclWinSock.c:
+ (SocketThreadExitHandler): Don't call TerminateThread when
+ WaitForSingleObject returns a timeout. Tcl_Finalize called from
+ DllMain will pause all threads. Trust that the thread will get the
+ close notice at a later time if it does ever wake up before being
+ cleaned up by the system anyway.
+ (SocketEventProc): connect errors should fire both the readable and
+ writable handlers because this is how it works on UNIX. [Bug 794839]
+
+ * win/coffbase.txt: Added the tls extension to the list of preferred
+ load addresses.
+
+2004-05-05 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.10): Test correction for Mac OSX.

+ * library/http/http.tcl (geturl): Correctly check the type of
+ boolean-valued options. [Bug 811170]
+
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_FRAMEWORK): Added note to make it clearer

+
+ * win/tclWinPipe.c: The windows port of expect can call

+2003-09-23 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Fixed [Bug 807243] where

+ * library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl: Added escape so that non-Windows

+2003-08-05 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (INST_INVOKE, INST_EVAL, INST_PUSH_RESULT):
+ added a Tcl_ResetResult(interp) at each point where the interp's

+
+ * doc/tcltest.n: Restored the [Eval] proc to replace
+ * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: the [::puts] command when either the
+ -output or -error option for [test] is in use, in order to capture
+ data written to the output or error channels for comparison against
+ what is expected. This is easier to document and agrees better with
+ most user expectations than the previous attempt to replace [puts]
+ only in the caller's namespace. Documentation made more precise on the
+ subject. [Bug 706359]
+
+ * doc/AddErrInfo.3: Improved consistency of documentation by using
+ * doc/CrtTrace.3: "null" everywhere to refer to the character
+ * doc/Encoding.3: '\0', and using "NULL" everywhere to refer to
+ * doc/Eval.3: the value of a pointer that points to nowhere.

+
+ * win/Makefile.in: Don't define TCL_DBGX symbol for every compile.
+ Instead, define TCL_PIPE_DLL only when compiling tclWinPipe.c. This

+ * win/makefile.vc: Ditto.
+ * win/tclWinPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess): Remove PREFIX_IDENT and
+ DEBUG_IDENT from top of file. Use TCL_PIPE_DLL passed in from build

+ closed-source IDE and build tool. The changes are intended to be

+ line variable overrides should continue to work. Changed build to only

+ help is now included in Tk.framework.
+
+ * macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj:
+ * macosx/Tcl.pbproj/jingham.pbxuser: Changed to purely call through to
+ the make driven buildsystem; Tcl.framework is no longer assembled by
+ ProjectBuilder. Set default SYMROOT in target options to simplify
+ setting up PB (manually setting common build folder for tcl & tk no
+ longer needed).

+ * tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: Added options to allow building only the
+ tcl or tk html help files; the default behaviour with none of the new
+ options is to build both, as before.

+2003-05-23 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclObj.c (tclCmdNameType): Converted internal rep
+ management of the cmdName Tcl_ObjType the opposite way, to always use
+ the twoPtrValue instead of always using the otherValuePtr. Previous
+ fix on 2003-05-12 broke several extensions that wanted to poke around

+
+ * generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (TclFreeAllocCache): Fixed memory leak

+
+ * win/tclAppInit.c (Tcl_AppInit): Fixed memory leaks caused by not

+
+2003-04-25 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinThrd.c: Applied [Patch 727271]. This patch changes the
+ code to catch any errors returned by the windows functions handling
+ TLS ASAP instead of waiting to get some mysterious crash later on due

+
+ This is a stop-gap measure to deal with the low number of ?TLS slots
+ provided by some of the variants of Windows (60-80).

+2003-04-21 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: When the return code of a test does
+ not meet expectations, report that as the reason for test failure,
+ and do not attempt to check the test result for correctness. [Bug
+ 725253]
+
+2003-04-18 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (ExprCallMathFunc): remove incorrect
+ extraneous cast from Tcl_WideAsDouble.
+
+2003-04-18 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * doc/open.n: Moved serial port options from [fconfigure]
+ * doc/fconfigure.n: to [open] as it is up to the creator of a
+ channel to describe the channel's special
+ config options. [Bug 679010]
+
+2003-04-16 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tcl.h Made changes so that the "wideInt" Tcl_ObjType
+ * generic/tclObj.c is defined on all platforms, even those where
+ * generic/tclPort.h TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG is defined. Also made
+ the Tcl_Value struct have a wideValue field on all platforms. This is
+ a ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG platforms
+ because that struct changes size. This is the same TIP 72
+ incompatibility that was seen on other platforms at the 8.4.0 release,
+ when this change should have happened as well. [Bug 713562]
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h: New internal macros TclGetWide() and
+ TclGetLongFromWide() to deal with both forms of the "wideInt"
+ Tcl_ObjType, so that conditional TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG code
+ is confined to the header file.
+
+ * generic/tclCmdAH.c: Replaced most coding that was conditional
+ * generic/tclCmdIL.c: on TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG with code that
+ * generic/tclExecute.c: works across platforms, sometimes using
+ * generic/tclTest.c: the new macros above to do it.
+ * generic/tclUtil.c:
+ * generic/tclVar.c:
+
+2003-04-17 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * doc/socket.n: Added a paragraph to remind people to specify

+
+2003-04-16 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * doc/CrtMathFnc.3: Functions also have to deal with wide ints,
+ but this was not documented. [Bug 709720]
+
+2003-04-15 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+ * win/tclWinTime.c: Corrected use of types to make compilation
+ compatible with VC++5.
+
+2003-04-14 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+ * win/tclWinFile.c: added conditionals to restore compilation on
+ VC++6, which was broken by recent changes.
+
+2003-04-14 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ Merged various bug fixes from current cvs head:
+
+ * tests/cmdAH.test: better fix to test suite problem if /home is a
+ symlink [Bug 703264]
+
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix bad error message with 'cd ""' [Bug 704917]
+ * win/tclWinFile.c:
+ * win/tclWin32Dll.c:
+ * win/tclWinInt.h: allow Tcl to differentiate between reparse points
+ which are symlinks and mounted volumes, and correctly handle the
+ latter. This involves some elaborate code to find the actual drive
+ letter (if possible) corresponding to a mounted volume. [Bug 697862]
+ * tests/fileSystem.test: add constraints to stop tests running in
+ ordinary tcl interpreter. [Bug 705675]
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c: Some re-arrangement of code to bring it closer
+ to CVS HEAD. No functional changes.
+
+ * tests/fCmd.test:
+ * win/tclWinFile.c: added some filesystem optimisation to the
+ 'glob' implementation, and some new tests.
+
+ * tests/winFile.test:
+ * tests/ioUtil.test:
+ * tests/unixFCmd.test: renumbered tests with duplicate numbers. [Bug
+ 710361]
+
+2003-04-12 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+ * tests/clock.test: Renumbered test cases to avoid duplicates [Bug
+ 710310].
+ * tests/winTime.test:
+ * win/tclWinTest.c (TestwinclockCmd, TestwinsleepCmd):
+ * win/tclWinTime.c (Tcl_WinTime, UpdateTimeEachSecond,
+ (ResetCounterSamples, AccumulateSample, SAMPLES, TimeInfo): Made
+ substantial changes to the phase-locked loop (replaced an IIR filter
+ with an FIR one) in a quest for improved loop stability (Bug not
+ logged at SF, but cited in private communication from Jeff Hobbs).
+
+2003-04-11 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd,STR_IS_INT): Corrected
+ inconsistent results of [string is integer] observed on systems
+ where sizeof(long) != sizeof(int). [Bug 718878]
+ * tests/string.test: Added tests for Bug 718878.
+ * doc/string.n: Clarified that [string is integer] accepts
+ 32-bit integers.
+
+2003-04-11 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclIO.c (UpdateInterest): When dropping interest in
+ TCL_READABLE now dropping interest in TCL_EXCEPTION too. This fixes a
+ bug where Expect detects eof on a file prematurely on Solaris 2.6 and
+ higher. A much more complete explanation is in the code itself (40
+ lines of comments for a one-line change :)
+
+2003-04-10 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * doc/binary.n: Fixed typo in [binary format w] desc. [Bug 718543]
+
+2003-04-08 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_ErrorObjCmd): Strings are only empty if they
+ have zero length, not if their first byte is zero, so fix test
+ guarding Tcl_AddObjErrorInfo to take this into account. [Bug reported
+ by Don Porter; no bug-id.]
+
+2003-04-07 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileIfCmd): Corrected string limits of
+ arguments interpolated in error messages. [Bug 711371]
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TraceExecutionProc): Added missing
+ Tcl_DiscardResult() call to avoid memory leak.
+
+2003-04-07 Donal K. Fellows <zzcgudf@ernie.mvc.mcc.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclObj.c (tclWideIntType, TclInitObjSubsystem):
+ (SetBooleanFromAny): Make sure that tclWideIntType is defined and
+ somewhat sensible everywhere. [Bug 713562]
+
+2003-04-02 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * win/configure: Regen.
+ * win/configure.in: Set stub lib flag based on new LIBFLAGSUFFIX
+ variable.
+ * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Set new LIBFLAGSUFFIX that works like
+ LIBSUFFIX, it is used when creating library names. The previous
+ implementation would generate -ltclstub85 instead of -ltclstub85s when
+ configured with --disable-shared.
+
+2003-04-01 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/README: Direct [source] of *.test files is no longer
+ recommended. The tests/*.test files should only be evaluated under the
+ control of the [runAllTests] command in tests/all.tcl.

+
+ * doc/tcltest.n:

+ * library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl: Bumped to tcltest 2.2.3
+
+ * tests/msgcat.test (msgcat-2.2.1): changed test name to avoid

+
+ * unix/dltest/pkg?.c: Changed all Tcl_InitStubs calls to pass argument

+
+2003-03-24 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclVar.c:

+ (David Hilker).
+
+2003-03-22 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+ * library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl:
+ * library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl: Fixed a bug where [package require dde] or
+ [package require registry] attempted to load the release version of
+ the DLL into a debug build. [Bug 708218] Thanks to Joe Mistachkin for
+ the patch.
+ * win/makefile.vc: Added quoting around the script name in the 'test'

+ to launch tcltest without it, and it appears harmless otherwise.

+ * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_SetTimer,Tcl_WaitForEvent,

+ * win/tclWinNotify.c (Tcl_SetTimer,Tcl_WaitForEvent): Some linkers
+ apparently use a different representation for a pointer to a function
+ within the same compilation unit and a pointer to a function in a
+ different compilation unit. This causes checks like those in the
+ original notifier procedures to fall into infinite loops. The fix is
+ to store pointers to the original notifier procedures in a struct
+ defined in the same compilation unit as the stubs tables, and compare
+ against those values. [Bug 707174]

+
+2003-03-19 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

+
+2003-03-18 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/registry.test: Changed the conditionals to avoid an abort if

+ tcltest. [Bug 705677]
+
+2003-03-18 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: added support for building 'make html'

+
+2003-03-17 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+

+2003-03-14 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FileObjCmd): Remove assumption that file

+ (Tcl_FormatObjCmd): Stop surprising type conversions from
+ happening when working with integer and wide values. [Bug 699060]
+
+ * generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FormatObjCmd): Only add the modifier that
+ indicates we've got a wide int when we're formatting in an integer
+ style. Stops some libc's from going mad. [Bug 702622]
+ Also tidied whitespace.
+
+2003-03-13 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * win/makefile.vc: Backed the version to 8.4 on the 8.4 branch. (I

+
+2003-03-12 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tcl.h: Removed TCL_PREFIX_IDENT and TCL_DEBUG_IDENT
+ * win/tclWinPipe.c: from tcl.h -- they are not part of Tcl's
+ public interface. Put them in win/tclWinPipe.c where they are used.
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SubstObj): Corrected and added test for
+ * tests/subst.test (subst-2.4): Tcl_SubstObj's incorrect
+ halting of substitution at the first \x00 byte. [Bug 685106]
+
+ * generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_InterpObjCmd): Corrected and added

+ [Bug 702383]
+
+2003-03-11 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2003-03-08 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+2003-02-20 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/tcl.m4:

+
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c: restored Tcl_SetObjLength() side-effect of

+ * win/Makefile.in: Define TCL_DBGX.
+ * win/tclWinPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess): Check that the Tcl pipe dll

+
+ * win/configure:

+ * win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclpCheckStackSpace): Don't define alloca as a

+ _alloca function expects the size argument to be passed in a register
+ and not on the stack. To fix this problem, we use inline ASM when
+ compiling with gcc to invoke _alloca with the size argument loaded
+ into a register.

+
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c: proper fixes for Tcl_SetObjLength and

+
+ This fixes [Bug 635200] and [Bug 671138], but may reduce performance
+ of Unicode string handling in some cases. A further patch will be

+
+2003-01-24 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * win/configure: Regen.
+ * win/configure.in: Add test to see if alloca is undefined in

+ * win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclpCheckStackSpace): Rework the SEH exception

+ off the top of the stack.
+
+2003-01-23 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

+ - fixed some subtle cleanup problems with tracing. This required
+ replacing Tcl_Preserve/Tcl_Release with a more robust refCount
+ approach. Solves at least one known crash caused by memory
+ corruption.
+ - fixed some confusion in the code between new style traces (Tcl
+ 8.4) and the very limited 'Tcl_CreateTrace' which existed before.
+ - made behaviour consistent with documentation (several tests even
+ contradicted the documentation before).
+ - fixed some minor error message details
+ - added a number of new tests

+ and define HAVE_NO_LPFN_DECLS if not found.
+ * win/tclWinSock.c: Define LPFN_* typedefs if HAVE_NO_LPFN_DECLS is

+ patch is a workaround for 8.4.X. A new opcode INST_RETURN is a better
+ long term solution for 8.5 and later.
+
+2003-01-04 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/makefile.vc:
+ * win/rules.vc: Fixed INSTALLDIR macro problem that blanked itself by
+ accident causing the install target to put the tree at the root of the
+ drive built on. Whoops..
+
+ Renamed the 'linkexten' option to be 'staticpkg'. Added 'thrdalloc' to
+ allow the switching _on_ of the thread allocator. Under testing, I
+ found it not to be benificial under windows for the purpose of the
+ application I was using it for. It was more important for this app
+ that resources for tcl threads be returned to the system rather than
+ saved/moved to the global recycler. Be extra clean or extra fast for
+ the default threaded build? Let's move to clean and allow it to be
+ switched on for users who find it benificial for their use of threads.
+
+2002-12-18 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/makefile.vc: some uses of xcopy swapped to the @$(CPY) macro.

+
+2002-12-17 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/tclNotify.c (TclFinalizeNotifier, Tcl_SetServiceMode):

+
+2002-12-16 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * generic/tclPipe.c (TclCleanupChildren):
+ * tests/winPipe.test:
+ * win/tclWinPipe.c (Tcl_WaitPid):
+ * win/tclWinTest.c: Gave Tcl_WaitPid the ability to return a Win32
+ exception code translated into a posix style SIG*. This allows [close]
+ to report "CHILDKILLED" without the meaning getting lost in a
+ truncated exit code. In TclCleanupChildren(), TclpGetPid() had to get
+ moved to before Tcl_WaitPid() as the the handle is removed from the
+ list taking away the ability to get the process id after the wait is
+ done. This shouldn't effect the unix implimentaion unless waitpid is
+ called with a pid of zero, meaning "any". I don't think it is..
+
+2002-12-13 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2002-12-08 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinSock.c (SocketThreadExitHandler, InitSockets): Check that
+ the tsdPtr is valid before dereferencing as we call it from the exit
+ handler, too [Bug 650353]. Another WSAStartup() loaded version
+ comparison byte swap issue fixed. Although 0x0101 byte swapped is
+ still 0x0101, properly claiming which is major/minor is more correct.
+
+2002-12-06 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/tclStubInit.c: regen
+ * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: regen
+ * generic/tclInt.decls: added TclWinResetInterface
+
+ * win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclWinResetInterfaces):
+ * win/tclWinInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings, WinEncodingsCleanup):
+ add exit handler that resets the encoding information to a state where
+ we can reuse Tcl. Following these changes, it is possible to reuse Tcl
+ (following Tcl_FindExecutable or Tcl_CreateInterp) following a
+ Tcl_Finalize.
+
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclFinalizeFilesystem): reset statics to their
+ original values on finalize to allow reuse of the library.
+
+2002-12-04 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinPipe.c: reverted back to -r1.27 due to numerous test
+ failures that need to be resolved first. The idea was good, but the
+ details aren't.
+
+2002-12-04 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinPipe.c (Tcl_WaitPid): When a process exits with an
+ exception, pass this notice on to the caller with a SIG* code rather
+ than truncating the exit code and missing the meaning. This allows
+ TclCleanupChildren() to report "CHILDKILLED".
+
+ This has a different behavior than unix in that closing the read pipe
+ to a process sends the SIGPIPE signal which is returned as a SIGPIPE
+ exit status. On windows, we send the process a CTRL_BREAK_EVENT and
+ get back a CONTROL_C_EXIT which is documented to mean a SIGINT which
+ seems wrong as a system, but is the correct exit status.
+
+2002-12-04 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to redirected 'load' in virtual filesystem
+ for some Unix systems.
+
+ * generic/tclEvent.c: the filesystem must be cleaned up before the
+ encoding subsystem because it needs access to encodings. Fixes crash
+ on exit observed in embedded applications.
+
+ * generic/tclTestObj.c: patch omitted from previous change of
+ 2002-11-13
+
+2002-12-03 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/tclStubLib.c (Tcl_InitStubs): prevent the cached check of

+ hosting apps. [Bug 615304]
+
+2002-12-03 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/tclAppInit.c (sigHandler): Protect from trying to close a NULL
+ handle.
+
+ * win/tclWinPipe.c (PipeClose2Proc, TclpCreateProcess): Send a real
+ Win32 signal (CTRL_C_EVENT) when the read channel is brought down to
+ alert the child to close on its side. Start the process with
+ CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP to allow the ability to send these signals.
+ The following test case now brings down the child without the use of
+ an external [kill] command.
+
+ % set p [open "|[info name]" w+]
+ file8d5380
+ % pid $p
+ 2876
+ % close $p <- now doesn't block in Tcl_WaitPid()
+ %
+
+ * win/tclWinPipe.c (PipeClose2Proc): Changed CTRL_C_EVENT to
+ CTRL_BREAK_EVENT as it can't be ignored by the child and proved to
+ work on [open "|netstat 1" w+] where CTRL_C_EVENT didn't.
+
+2002-11-27 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinPort.h: Don't turn off winsock prototypes! TclX didn't
+ like it. Even though the core doesn't use the prototypes, do offer
+ them.
+
+ * win/tclWinSock.c: Removed shutdown() from the function table as it
+ wasn't referenced anywhere and cleaned-up some casting that that
+ wasn't needed.
+
+ * win/tclWinSock.c: WSAStartup() loaded version comparison error which
+ resulted in 2.0 looking less than 1.1.
+
+ * win/tclWinChan.c (Tcl_MakeFileChannel): return of DuplicateHandle()
+ incorrectly used [Bug 618852].
+
+2002-11-26 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/tclEncoding.c (TclFinalizeEncodingSubsystem): properly
+ cleanup all encodings by using Tcl_FirstHashEntry in the while loop.
+
+ * unix/Makefile.in (valgrind): add simple valgrind target
+
+ * tests/exec.test: unset path var to allow singleproc testing
+
+ * generic/tclInterp.c (AliasCreate): preserve/release interps to
+ prevent possible FMR error in bad alias cases.
+
+2002-11-26 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinPort.h:
+ * win/tclWinSock.c: This patch does two things:
+
+ 1) Cleans-up the winsock typedefs by using the typedefs provided by
+ winsock2.h. This has no effect on how winsock is initialized; just
+ makes the source code easier to read. [Patch 561305, 561301]
+
+ 2) Revamps how the socket message handler thread is brought up and
+ down to allow for cleaner exits without the use of TerminateThread().
+ TerminateThread is evil. No attempt has been made to resolve [Bug
+ 593810] which may need a new channel driver version for adding a
+ registering function within the transfered thread to init the handler
+ thread. IOW, initialization of the TSD structure is getting bypassed
+ through the thread extension's [thread::transfer] command.

+ * win/tclWinPipe.c:
+ * win/tclWinSerial.c:
+ * win/tclWinSock.c:
+ * win/tclWinThrd.c:
+ * win/tclWinTime.c: General cleanup of all worker threads used by the
+ channel drivers. Eliminates the normal case where the worker thread is
+ terminated ('cept the winsock one). Instead, use kernel events to
+ signal a clean exit. Only when the worker thread is blocked on an I/O
+ call is the thread terminated. Essentially, this makes all other
+ channel worker threads behave like the PipeReaderThread() function for
+ it's cleaner exit behavior. This appears to fix [Bug 597924] but needs
+ 3rd party confirmation to close the issue.
+
+2002-11-26 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+2002-11-18 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinThrd.c (Tcl_CreateThread/TclpThreadExit): Fixed improper
+ compiler macros that missed the VC++ compiler. This resulted in VC++
+ builds using CreateThread()/ExitThread() in place of the proper
+ _beginthreadex()/_endthreadex(). This was a large error and am
+ surprised I missed seeing it earlier.
+
+2002-11-13 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/regexpComp.test: added tests 22.*
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileRegexpCmd): add left and right

+
+2002-11-11 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_Backslash): use TclUtfToUniChar.
+ (Tcl_StringCaseMatch): use TclUtfToUniChar and add further
+ optimizations for the one-byte/char case.
+
+ * generic/tclUtf.c: make use of TclUtfToUniChar macro throughout the
+ functions, and add extra optimization to Tcl_NumUtfChars for
+ one-byte/char case.
+
+ * generic/tclVar.c (DisposeTraceResult, CallVarTraces): add proper

+
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_GetCharLength): optimize for the ascii

+ (Tcl_GetUniChar): remove unnecessary use of Tcl_UtfToUniChar.
+ (FillUnicodeRep): Use TclUtfToUniChar.
+
+ * generic/tclHash.c (HashStringKey): move string++ lower to save an
+ instruction.
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): improve INST_STR_CMP to
+ use memcmp in the one-byte/char case, also use direct index for
+ INST_STR_INDEX in that case.
+
+ * generic/tclEncoding.c (UtfToUtfProc, UtfToUnicodeProc):
+ (TableFromUtfProc, EscapeFromUtfProc): Use TclUtfToUniChar.
+ (UnicodeToUtfProc, TableToUtfProc): add 1-byte char optimizations
+ for Tcl_UniCharToUtf call. These improve encoded channel conversion
+ speeds by up to 20%.
+
+ * tests/split.test: added 1-char string split tests
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SplitObjCmd): Use TclUtfToUniChar. Also
+ added a special case for single-ascii-char splits.
+ (Tcl_StringObjCmd): Use TclUtfToUniChar. For STR_RANGE, support
+ getting ranges of ByteArrays (reverts change from 2000-05-26).
+ (TraceExecutionProc) add proper static declaration.
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h: add macro version of Tcl_UtfToUniChar
+ (TclUtfToUniChar) that does the one-byte utf-char check without
+ calling Tcl_UtfToUniChar, for use by the core. This brings notable
+ speedups for primarily ascii string handling.
+
+ * generic/tcl.h (TCL_PATCH_LEVEL): bump to 8.4.1.1 for patchlevel
+ only. This interim number will only be reflected by [info patchlevel]
+
+2002-11-11 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>

+
+ * win/makefile.vc:
+ * win/rules.vc: linkexten option now sets the TCL_USE_STATIC_PACKAGES

+
+2002-09-29 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/tclAppInit.c: Added proper exiting conditions using Win32

+ call exit handlers when built for thread support. Also, properly
+ handles exits from other conditions such as CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT,
+ CTRL_LOGOFF_EVENT, and CTRL_SHUTDOWN_EVENT signals. In all cases, exit
+ handlers will be called. [Bug 219355]

+2002-09-15 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+2002-09-12 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

+ *** macosx-8-4-branch merged into the mainline [Patch 602770] ***
+
+ * generic/tcl.decls: added new macosx specific entry to stubs table.
+
+ * tools/genStubs.tcl: added generation of platform guards for macosx.
+ This is a little more complex than it seems, because MacOS X IS "unix"
+ plus a little bit, for the purposes of Tcl. BUT unfortunately, Tk uses
+ "unix" to mean X11. So added platform keys for macosx (the little
+ added to "unix"), "aqua" and "x11" to distinguish these for Tk.
+
+ * generic/tcl.h: added a #ifnded RESOURCE_INCLUDED so that tcl.h can
+ be passed to the resource compiler.
+
+ * generic/tcl.h:
+ * generic/tclNotify.c: added a few Notifier procs, to be able to
+ modify more bits of the Tcl notifier dynamically. Required to get Mac
+ OS X Tk to live on top of the Tcl Unix threaded notifier. Changes the
+ size of the Tcl_NotifierProcs structure, but doesn't move any elements
+ around.
+
+ * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: moved the call to Tcl_ConditionNotify till
+ AFTER we are done mucking with the pointer swap. Fixes cases where the
+ thread waiting on the condition wakes & accesses the waitingListPtr
+ before it gets reset, causing a hang.
+
+ * library/auto.tcl (tcl_findLibrary): added checking the directories
+ in the tcl_pkgPath for library files on macosx to enable support of
+ the standard Mac OSX library locations
+
+ * unix/Makefile.in:
+ * unix/configure.in:
+ * unix/tcl.m4: added MAC_OSX_DIR. Added PLAT_OBJS to the OBJS: there
+ are some MacOS X specific files now for Tcl, and when I get he
+ resource & applescript stuff ported over, and restore support for
+ FindFiles, etc, there will be a few more. Added LD_LIBRARY_PATH_VAR
+ configure variable to avoid having to set all possible LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+ analogues on all platforms. LD_LIBRARY_PATH_VAR is "LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
+ by default, "LIBPATH" on AIX, "SHLIB_PATH" on HPUX and
+ "DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH" on Mac OSX. Added configure option to package Tcl
+ as a framework on Mac OSX.
+
+ * macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c (new): support for finding Tcl extension
+ packaged as 'bundles' in the standard Mac OSX library locations.
+
+ * unix/tclUnixInit.c: added support for findig the tcl script library
+ inside Tcl packaged as a framework on Mac OSX.
+
+ * macosx/Tcl.pbproj/jingham.pbxuser (new):
+ * macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj (new): project for Apple's

+
+ * tests/fCmd.test: Added test to make sure that the cause of the

+ * doc/ObjectType.3: Added note on the root cause of this problem to

+ sort of behaviour too.
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c (SetFsPathFromAny): Objects should only have
+ their old representation deleted when we know that we are about to
+ install a new one. This stops a weird TclX bug under Linux with
+ certain kinds of memory debugging enabled which essentally came down
+ to a double-free of a string.
+
+2002-08-14 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h:

+ * tests/README: slight wording improvements

+
+ * docs/BoolObj.3: added description of valid string reps for a boolean

+
+2002-08-07 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2002-08-06 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclInt.decls:
+ * unix/tclUnixThrd.c: Added stubs and implementations for non-threaded
+ build for the tclUnixThrd.c procs TclpReaddir, TclpLocaltime,
+ TclpGmtime and TclpInetNtoa. Fixes link errors in stubbed & threaded
+ extensions that include tclUnixPort.h and use any of the procs

+
+ * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: The setup and cleanup scripts are now
+ * library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl: skipped when a test is skipped, fixing
+ * tests/tcltest.test: [Bug 589859]. Test for bug added, and
+ corrected tcltest package bumped to version 2.2.
+
+ * generic/tcl.decls: Restored Tcl_Concat to return (char *). Like
+ * generic/tclDecls.h: Tcl_Merge, it transfers ownership of a dynamic
+ * generic/tclUtil.c: allocated string to the caller.
+
+2002-08-04 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * doc/CmdCmplt.3: Applied Patch 585105 to fully CONST-ify
+ * doc/Concat.3: all remaining public interfaces of Tcl.
+ * doc/CrtCommand.3: Notably, the parser no longer writes on
+ * doc/CrtSlave.3: the string it is parsing, so it is no
+ * doc/CrtTrace.3: longer necessary for Tcl_Eval() to be
+ * doc/Eval.3: given a writable string. Also, the
+ * doc/ExprLong.3: refactoring of the Tcl_*Var* routines
+ * doc/LinkVar.3: by Miguel Sofer is included, so that the
+ * doc/ParseCmd.3: "part1" argument for them no longer needs
+ * doc/SetVar.3: to be writable either.
+ * doc/TraceVar.3:
+ * doc/UpVar.3: Compatibility support has been enhanced so
+ * generic/tcl.decls: that a #define of USE_NON_CONST will remove
+ * generic/tcl.h: all possible source incompatibilities with
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: the 8.3 version of the header file(s).
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: The new #define of USE_COMPAT_CONST now does
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c:what USE_NON_CONST used to do -- disable
+ * generic/tclCompExpr.c:only those new CONST's that introduce
+ * generic/tclCompile.c: irreconcilable incompatibilities.
+ * generic/tclCompile.h:
+ * generic/tclDecls.h: Several bugs are also fixed by this patch.

+
+2002-08-01 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+2002-08-01 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCkalloc.c (TclFinalizeMemorySubsystem): Don't lock the
+ ckalloc mutex before invoking the Tcl_DumpActiveMemory function since
+ it also locks the same mutex. This code is only executed when "memory
+ onexit filename" has been executed and Tcl is compiled with
+ -DTCL_MEM_DEBUG.
+
+2002-08-01 Reinhard Max <max@suse.de>
+
+ * win/tclWinPort.h: The windows headers don't provide socklen_t, so we
+ have to do it.
+
+2002-07-31 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h (USE_THREAD_ALLOC): for unshared objects,
+ TclDecrRefCount now frees the internal rep before the string rep -
+ just like the non-macro Tcl_DecrRefCount/TclFreeObj [Bug 524802]. For
+ the other allocators the fix was done on 2002-03-06.
+
+2002-07-31 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclInterp.c: signed/unsigned comparison warning fixed
+ (Vince Darley).

+2002-07-31 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_BUGGY_STRTOD): Enabled caching of test results.
+
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_BUGGY_STRTOD): Solaris 2.8 still has a buggy
+ strtod() implementation; make sure we detect it.
+
+ * tests/expr.test (expr-22.*): Marked as non-portable because it seems
+ that these tests have an annoying tendency to fail in unexpected ways.
+ [Bugs 584825, 584950, 585986]
+
+2002-07-30 Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/io.test:
+ * generic/tclIO.c (WriteChars): Added flag to break out of loop if
+ nothing of the input is consumed at all, to prevent infinite looping
+ of called with a non-UTF-8 string. Fixes [Bug 584603] partially.
+ Added new test "io-60.1". Might need additional changes to Tcl_Main so
+ that unprintable results are printed as binary data.
+
+2002-07-29 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/Makefile.in: Use CC_SEARCH_FLAGS instead of LD_SEARCH_FLAGS
+ when linking with ${CC}.
+ * unix/configure: Regen.
+ * unix/configure.in: Don't subst CC_SEARCH_FLAGS or LD_SEARCH_FLAGS
+ since this is now done in tcl.m4.
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Document and set CC_SEARCH_FLAGS
+ whenever LD_SEARCH_FLAGS is set. [Patch 588290]
+
+2002-07-29 Reinhard Max <max@suse.de>
+
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_SERIAL_PORT): Fixed detection for cases when

+
+ * unix/tclUnixPort.h:

+
+2002-07-29 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclObj.c: fixed a comment
+
+ * generic/tcl.h:
+ * generic/tclBasic.c:
+ * generic/tclInterp.c: added the new flag TCL_EVAL_INVOKE to the

+ TCL_EVAL_NO_TRACEBACK added yesterday: alias invocations not only
+ require no tracebacks, but also look up the command name in the global
+ scope - see new test interp-9.4
+ * tests/interp.test: added 9.3 to test for safety of aliases to hidden
+ commands, 9.4 to test for correct command lookup scope.
+
+2002-07-29 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/regc_locale.c (cclass): [[:xdigit:]] is only a defined
+ concept on western characters, so should not allow any unicode digit,
+ and hence number of ranges in [[:xdigit:]] is fixed.
+ * tests/reg.test: Added test to detect the bug.
+ * generic/regc_cvec.c (newcvec): Corrected initial size value in
+ character vector structure. [Bug 578363] Many thanks to
+ pvgoran@users.sf.net for tracking this down.
+
+2002-07-28 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tcl.h:
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: added the new flag TCL_EVAL_NO_TRACEBACK to the
+ interface of the Tcl_Eval* functions. Modified the error message for
+ too many nested evaluations.
+ * generic/tclInterp.h: changed the Alias struct to be of variable
+ length and store the prefix arguments directly (instead of a pointer
+ to a Tcl_Obj list). Made AliasObjCmd call Tcl_EvalObjv instead of
+ TclObjInvoke - thus making aliases trigger execution traces. [Bug
+ 582522]
+ * tests/interp.test:
+ * tests/stack.test: adapted to the new error message.
+ * tests/trace.test: added tests for aliases firing the exec traces.
+
+2002-07-27 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/Makefile.in: Revert fix for Tcl bug 529801 since it was
+ incorrect and broke the build on other systems. Fix [Bug 587299]. Add
+ MAJOR_VERSION, MINOR_VERSION, PATCH_LEVEL, SHLIB_LD_FLAGS,
+ SHLIB_LD_LIBS, CC_SEARCH_FLAGS, LD_SEARCH_FLAGS, and LIB_FILE
+ variables to support more generic library build/install rules.
+ * unix/configure: Regen.
+ * unix/configure.in: Move AC_PROG_RANLIB into tcl.m4. Move shared
+ build test and setting of MAKE_LIB and MAKE_STUB_LIB into tcl.m4. Move
+ subst of a number of variables into tcl.m4 where they are defined.
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_SYMBOLS, SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS):
+ Subst vars where they are defined. Add MAKE_LIB, MAKE_STUB_LIB,
+ INSTALL_LIB, and INSTALL_STUB_LIB rules to deal with the ugly details
+ of running ranlib on static libs at build and install time. Replace
+ TCL_SHLIB_LD_EXTRAS with SHLIB_LD_FLAGS and use it when building a
+ shared library.
+ * unix/tclConfig.sh.in: Add TCL_CC_SEARCH_FLAGS.

+
+2002-07-24 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c: restoring the tcl_traceCompile functionality
+ while I repair tcl_traceExec. The core now compiles and runs also

+ still not be traced.
+
+2002-07-24 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>

+2002-07-11 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * doc/file.n:
+ * win/tclWinFile.c: on Win 95/98/ME the long form of the path is used
+ as a normalized form. This is required because short forms are not a
+ robust representation. The file normalization function has been sped
+ up, but more performance gains might be possible, if speed is still an
+ issue on these platforms.
+
+2002-07-11 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Corrected reaction to existing but
+ false ::tcl_interactive.
+
+ * doc/Hash.3: Overlooked CONST documentation update.
+
+2002-07-11 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclCkalloc.c: ckalloc() and friends take the block size as
+ an unsigned, so we should use %ud when reporting it in fprintf() and
+ panic().
+
+2002-07-11 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompile.c: now setting local vars undefined at compile

+ * generic/tclProc.c: use macro TclSetVarUndefined instead of directly
+ setting the flag.
+
+2002-07-11 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * tests/cmdAH.test: [file attr -perm] is Unix-only, so add [catch]

+
+2002-07-10 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * tests/unixFCmd.test, tests/fileName.test:
+ * tests/fCmd.test: Removed [exec] of Unix utilities that have
+ equivalents in standard Tcl. [Bug 579268] Also simplified some of
+ unixFCmd.test while I was at it.
+
+2002-07-10 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/tcltest.test: Greatly reduced the number of [exec]s, using
+ slave interps instead.
+ * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Fixed bug uncovered in the conversion
+ where a message was written to stdout instead of [outputChannel].
+
+ * tests/basic.test: Cleaned up, constrained, and reduced the

+
+2002-07-08 Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/socket.test: Fixed [Bug 578164]. The original reason for the
+ was a DNS outage while running the testsuite. Changed [info hostname]

+ host.
+
+2002-07-08 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+2002-07-08 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/cmdAH.test:
+ * tests/fCmd.test:

+ * generic/tclTest.c:
+ * mac/tclMacChan.c:
+ * unix/tclUnixChan.c:
+ * win/tclWinChan.c:
+ * doc/FileSystem.3: cleaned up internal handling of
+ Tcl_FSOpenFileChannel to remove duplicate code, and make writing
+ external vfs's clearer and easier. No functionality change. Also
+ clarify that objects with refCount zero should not be passed in to the
+ Tcl_FS API, and prevent segfaults from occuring on such user errors.
+ [Bug 578617]
+
+2002-07-06 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/pkgMkIndex.test: Constrained tests of [load] package indexing

+ [Bug 578166].
+
+2002-07-05 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * changes: added recent changes
+
+2002-07-05 Reinhard Max <max@suse.de>
+
+ * generic/tclClock.c (FormatClock): Convert the format string to
+ UTF8 before calling TclpStrftime, so that non-ASCII characters don't
+ get mangled when the result string is being converted back.
+ * tests/clock.test: Added a test for that.
+
+2002-07-05 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * unix/Makefile.in (ro-test,ddd,GDB,DDD): Created new targets to allow
+ running the test suite with a read-only current directory, running
+ under ddd instead of gdb, and factored out some executable names for
+ broken sites (like mine) where gdb and ddd are installed with
+ non-standard names...
+
+ * tests/httpold.test: Altered test names to httpold-* to avoid clashes
+ with http.test, and stopped tests from failing when the current

+
+ All the bugs below are instances of the same problem: The testsuite

+ itself.
+
+ * tests/main.test: Cheap fix for [Bugs 575851, 575858]. Avoid
+ * tests/tcltest.test: non-writable . by [cd [temporaryDirectory]].
+
+ * library/auto.tcl: Fix [tcl_findLibrary] to be sure it sets $varName
+ only if a successful library script is found. [Bug 577033]
+
+2002-07-03 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileCatchCmd): return

+
+ * doc/tcltest.n: Reverted [makeFile] and [viewFile] to

+ * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Made Solaris use gcc for linking

+
+ * tests/README: Updated the instructions on running and

+ * tests/fCmd.test: and destroy any temporary files in the
+ * tests/info.test: [temporaryDirectory] of tcltest.
+ * tests/interp.test:

+
+2002-06-25 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclUtil.c (TclGetIntForIndex): Fix of critical [Bug 533364]

+ * doc/file.n: Fixed indentation. No substantive changes.
+
+2002-06-19 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegexpObjCmd): get the resultPtr again as

+ improved comments; re-indentation.
+
+2002-06-18 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC):
+ - elimination of duplicated code in the non-immediate INST_INCR
+ instructions.
+ - elimination of 103 (!) TclDecrRefCount macros. The different
+ instructions now jump back to a common "DecrRefCount zone" at the
+ top of the loop. The macro "ADJUST_PC" was replaced by two macros
+ "NEXT_INST_F" and "NEXT_INST_V" that take three params
+ (pcAdjustment, # of stack objects to discard, resultObjPtr handling
+ flag). The only instructions that retain a TclDecrRefCount are
+ INST_POP (for speed), the common code for the non-immediate
+ INST_INCR, INST_FOREACH_STEP and the two INST_LSET.
+
+ The object size of tclExecute.o was reduced by approx 20% since the
+ start of the consolidation drive, while making room for some peep-hole
+ optimisation at runtime.
+
+2002-06-18 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC, INST_DONE): small bug in the panic code
+ for tcl-stack corruption.
+
+2002-06-17 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ Trims to support the removal of RESOURCE_INCLUDED from rc scripts from
+ [FRQ 565088].
+
+ * generic/tcl.h: moved the #ifndef RC_INVOKED start block up in the

+ changed to assume modern C by default. See [FRQ 565088] for full
+ details.
+
+2002-06-17 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * doc/msgcat.n: Corrected en_UK references to en_GB. UK is not a
+ country designation recognized in ISO 3166.
+
+ * library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl: More Windows Registry locale codes from
+ Bruno Haible.
+
+ * doc/msgcat.n:
+ * library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:
+ * library/msgcat/pkgIndex.tcl:
+ * tests/msgcat.test: Revised locale initialization to interpret
+ environment variable locale values according to XPG4, and to recognize
+ the LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES values over that of LANG. Also added many
+ Windows Registry locale values to those recognized by msgcat. Revised
+ tests and docs. Bumped to version 1.3. Thanks to Bruno Haible for the
+ report and assistance crafting the solution. [Bug 525522, 525525]
+
+2002-06-16 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileTokens): a better algorithm for the
+ previous bug fix.
+
+2002-06-16 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileTokens):
+ * tests/compile.test: [Bug 569438] in the processing of dollar
+ variables; report by Georgios Petasis.
+
+2002-06-16 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c: bug in the consolidation of the INCR_..._STK
+ instructions; the bug could not be exercised as the (faulty)
+ instruction INST_INCR_ARRAY_STK was never compiled-in (related to [Bug
+ 569438]).
+
+2002-06-14 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): runtime peep-hole
+ optimisation of variables (INST_STORE, INST_INCR) and commands
+ (INST_INVOKE); faster check for the existence of a catch.
+ (TclExecuteByteCode): runtime peep-hole optimisation of comparisons.
+ (TclExecuteByteCode): runtime peep-hole optimisation of INST_FOREACH -
+ relies on peculiarities of the code produced by the bytecode compiler.
+
+2002-06-14 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/rules.vc: The test for compiler optimizations was in error.
+ Thanks goes to Roy Terry <royterry@earthlink.net> for his assistance
+ with this.
+
+2002-06-14 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * doc/trace.n, tests/trace.test:
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TraceObjCmd,TclTraceCommandObjCmd)
+ (TclTraceVariableObjCmd): Changed references to "trace list" to "trace
+ info" as mandated by TIP#102.
+
+2002-06-13 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): consolidated code for the
+ conditional branch instructions.
+
+2002-06-13 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): fixed the previous
+ patch - wouldn't compile with TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG set.
+
+2002-06-13 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): consolidated the handling
+ of exception returns to INST_INVOKE and INST_EVAL, as well as most of
+ the code for INST_CONTINUE and INST_BREAK, in the new jump target
+ "processExceptionReturn".
+
+2002-06-13 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): consolidated variable
+ handling opcodes, replaced redundant code with some 'goto'. All
+ store/append/lappend opcodes on the same data type now share the main
+ code; same with incr opcodes.
+ * generic/tclVar.c: added the bit TCL_TRACE_READS to the possible
+ flags to Tcl_SetVar2Ex - it causes read traces to be fired prior to
+ setting the variable. This is used in the core for [lappend].
+
+ ***NOTE*** the usage of TCL_TRACE_READS in Tcl_(Obj)?GetVar.* is not
+ documented; there, it causes the call to create the variable if it
+ does not exist. The new usage in Tcl_(Obj)?SetVar.* remains
+ undocumented too ...

+ * win/tclWinInt.h:
+ * win/tclWin32Dll.c: cleaned up code and vfs tests and added tests for
+ the internal changes of 2002-06-12, to see whether WinTcl on NTFS can
+ coexist peacefully with links in the filesystem. Added new test
+ command 'testfilelink' to enable the newer code to be tested.
+ * tests/fCmd.test: (made certain tests of 'testfilelink' not run on

+
+2002-06-12 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

+ Hemang Lavana)
+
+2002-06-12 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinFile.c: corrected the symbolic link handling code to
+ allow it to compile. Added real definition of REPARSE_DATA_BUFFER
+ (found in winnt.h). Most of the added definitions appear to have
+ correct, cross-Win-version equivalents in winnt.h and should be
+ removed, but just making things "work" for now.
+
+2002-06-12 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+ * generic/tcl.decls:
+ * generic/tclDecls.h: made code for Tcl_FSNewNativePath agree with man
+ pages.
+
+ * doc/FileSystem.3: clarified the circumstances under which certain
+ functions are called in the presence of symlinks.
+
+ * win/tclWinFile.c:
+ * win/tclWinPort.h:
+ * win/tclWinInt.h:
+ * win/tclWinFCmd.c: Fix for Windows to allow 'file lstat', 'file
+ type', 'glob -type l', 'file copy', 'file delete', 'file normalize',
+ and all VFS code to work correctly in the presence of symlinks
+ (previously Tcl's behaviour was not very well defined). This also
+ fixes possible serious problems in all versions of WinTcl where 'file
+ delete' on a NTFS symlink could delete the original, not the symlink.
+ Note: symlinks cannot yet be created in pure Tcl.

+2002-06-11 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclBasic.c:
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c:
+ * generic/tclInt.h: reverted the new compilation functions; replaced
+ by a more general approach described below.
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c:
+ * generic/tclCompile.c: made *all* compiled variable access attempts
+ create an indexed variable - even get or incr without previous set.
+ This allows indexed access to local variables that are created and set
+ at runtime, for example by [global], [upvar], [variable], [regexp],
+ [regsub].
+
+2002-06-11 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * doc/global.n:
+ * doc/info.n:
+ * test/info.test:

+ reporting some linked variables.
+
+ * generic/tclBasic.c:
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c:
+ * generic/tclInt.h: added compile functions for [global], [variable]
+ and [upvar]. They just declare the new local variables, the commands
+ themselves are not compiled-in. This gives a notably faster read
+ access to these linked variables.
+
+2002-06-11 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+2002-06-10 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: fixed [Bug 566669]
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c: improved and sped up handling of native paths

+ * modified part of above commit, due to problems on Linux. Will
+ re-examine bug report and evaluate more closely.
+
+2002-06-07 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2002-06-07 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c: Tidied up headers in relation to float.h to

+ the same size everywhere; if the assumption isn't true, the variant
+ platforms had better have run configure...
+
+ * unix/tclUnixPort.h (EOVERFLOW): Added code to define it if it wasn't
+ previously defined. Also some other general tidying and adding of
+ comments. [Bugs 563122, 564595]
+ * compat/tclErrno.h: Added definition for EOVERFLOW copied from
+ Solaris headers; I've been unable to find any uses of EFTYPE, which
+ was the error code previously occupying the slot, in Tcl, or any
+ definition of it in the Solaris headers.
+
+2002-06-06 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+2002-06-06 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpReaddir, TclpLocaltime, TclpGmtime):

+ * unix/tcl.m4: added configure check for readdir_r
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): set TCL_DEFAULT_ENCODING to utf-8 on MacOSX

+
+2002-05-29 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * unix/configure: regen'ed
+ * unix/configure.in: replaced bigendian check with autoconf standard
+ AC_C_BIG_ENDIAN, which defined WORDS_BIGENDIAN on bigendian systems.
+ * generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UniCharNcmp):
+ * generic/tclInt.h (TclUniCharNcmp): use WORDS_BIGENDIAN instead of
+ TCL_OPTIMIZE_UNICODE_COMPARE to enable memcmp alternative.
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode INST_STR_CMP):
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): changed the case for choosing

+ benchmarks show that is the optimal check (both bigendian and
+ littleendian systems).
+
+2002-05-29 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclMain.c: Removed "dummy" reference to Tcl_LinkVar. It is

+ Thanks to Joe English for pointing that out.
+
+2002-05-29 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode):
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): Use the macro version.
+ * generic/tclInt.h (TclUniCharNcmp): Optimised still further with a
+ macro for use in sensitive places like tclExecute.c
+
+ * generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UniCharNcmp): Use new flag to figure out when
+ we can use an optimal comparison scheme, and default to the old scheme
+ in other cases which is at least safe.
+ * unix/configure.in (TCL_OPTIMIZE_UNICODE_COMPARE): New optional flag
+ that indicates when we can use memcmp() to compare Unicode strings
+ (i.e. when the high-byte of a Tcl_UniChar precedes the low-byte.)
+
+2002-05-29 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/tclInt.decls:
+ * generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+ * generic/tclStubInit.c:
+ * generic/tclUtf.c: added TclpUtfNcmp2 private command that mirrors
+ Tcl_UtfNcmp, but takes n in bytes, not utf-8 chars. This provides a
+ faster alternative for comparing utf strings internally.
+ (Tcl_UniCharNcmp, Tcl_UniCharNcasecmp): removed the explicit end of
+ string check as it wasn't correct for the function (by doc and logic).
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): reworked the string equal
+ comparison code to use TclpUtfNcmp2 as well as short-circuit for equal
+ objects or unequal length strings in the equal case. Removed the use
+ of goto and streamlined the other parts.
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): added check for object
+ equality in the comparison instructions. Added short-circuit for !=
+ length strings in INST_EQ, INST_NEQ and INST_STR_CMP. Reworked
+ INST_STR_CMP to use TclpUtfNcmp2 where appropriate, and only use
+ Tcl_UniCharNcmp when at least one of the objects is a Unicode obj with
+ no utf bytes.
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileStringCmd): removed error creation
+ in code that no longer throws an error.

+ * compat/strftime.c:
+ * generic/tclClock.c:
+ * generic/tclInt.decls:

+ * unix/tclUnixTime.c: fix for Windows msvcrt mem leak caused by using
+ an env(TZ) setting trick for in clock format -gmt 1. This also makes
+ %s seem to work correctly with -gmt 1 as well as making it a lot
+ faster by avoid the env(TZ) hack. TclpStrftime now takes useGMT as an
+ arg. [Bug 559376]
+
+2002-05-28 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c: fixes to Tcl_FSLoadFile when called on a file

+
+2002-05-27 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * win/tclWinError.c: Added comment on conversion of
+ ERROR_NEGATIVE_SEEK because that is a mapping that really belongs, and
+ not a catch-all case.
+ * win/tclWinPort.h (EOVERFLOW): Should be either EFBIG or EINVAL
+ * generic/tclPosixStr.c (Tcl_ErrnoId, Tcl_ErrnoMsg): EOVERFLOW can
+ potentially be a synonym for EINVAL.
+
+2002-05-24 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ === Changes due to TIP#91 ===
+
+ * win/tclWinPort.h: Added declaration of EOVERFLOW.
+ * doc/CrtChannel.3: Added documentation of wideSeekProc.
+ * generic/tclIOGT.c (TransformSeekProc, TransformWideSeekProc):
+ Adapted to use the new channel mechanism.
+ * unix/tclUnixChan.c (FileSeekProc, FileWideSeekProc): Renamed
+ FileSeekProc to FileWideSeekProc and created new FileSeekProc which
+ has the old-style interface and which errors out with EOVERFLOW when
+ the returned file position can't fit into the return type (int for
+ historical reasons.)
+ * win/tclWinChan.c (FileSeekProc, FileWideSeekProc): Renamed
+ FileSeekProc to FileWideSeekProc and created new FileSeekProc which
+ has the old-style interface and which errors out with EOVERFLOW when
+ the returned file position can't fit into the return type (int for
+ historical reasons.)
+ * mac/tclMacChan.c (FileSeek): Reverted to old interface; Macs lack
+ large-file support because I can't see how to add it.
+ * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Seek, Tcl_Tell): Given these functions
+ knowledge of the new arrangement of channel types.
+ (Tcl_ChannelVersion): Added recognition of new version code.
+ (HaveVersion): New function to do version checking.
+ (Tcl_ChannelBlockModeProc, Tcl_ChannelFlushProc)
+ (Tcl_ChannelHandlerProc): Made these functions use HaveVersion for
+ ease of future maintainability.
+ (Tcl_ChannelBlockModeProc): Obvious lookup function.
+ * generic/tcl.h (Tcl_ChannelType): New wideSeekProc field, and
+ seekProc type restored to old interpretation.
+ (TCL_CHANNEL_VERSION_3): New channel version.
+
+2002-05-24 Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/winPipe.test: Applied patch for [Bug 549617]. Patch and bug
+ report by Kevin Kenny <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>.
+
+ * win/tclWinSock.c (TcpWatchProc): Fixed [Bug 557878]. We are not
+ allowed to mess with the watch mask if the socket is a server socket.
+ I believe that the original reporter is George Peter Staplin.
+
+2002-05-21 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/configure: Regen.
+ * unix/configure.in: Invoke SC_ENABLE_SHARED before calling
+ SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS so that the SHARED_BUILD variable can be checked
+ inside SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS.
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Pass -non_shared instead of -shared
+ to ld when configured with --disable-shared under OSF. [Bug 540390]
+
+2002-05-20 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h: added prototype for TclpFilesystemPathType().
+ * mac/tclMacChan.c: use MSL provided creator type if available instead
+ of the default 'MPW '.
+
+2002-05-16 Joe English <jenglish@users.sf.net>
+
+ * doc/CrtObjCmd.3: Added Tcl_GetCommandFromObj, Tcl_GetCommandFullName

+
+2002-05-14 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtyOutputProc): #if/#endif-ed this function out

+ this file and removal of whitespace from blank lines.
+
+2002-05-13 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * unix/tclUnixChan.c (SETBREAK): Solaris thinks ioctl() takes a signed
+ second argument, and Linux thinks ioctl() takes an unsigned second
+ argument. So need a longer definition of this macro to get neither to
+ spew warnings...
+
+2002-05-13 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclEvent.c:
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+ * generic/tclInt.h: clean up all memory allocated by the filesystem,
+ via introduction of 'TclFinalizeFilesystem'. Move TclFinalizeLoad into
+ TclFinalizeFilesystem so we can be sure it is called at just the right
+ time. Fix bad comment also. [Bug 555078 and 'fs' part of 543549]

+2002-05-10 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/load.test:
+ * tests/safe.test:

+
+2002-05-08 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * tools/man2tcl.c:

+2002-05-07 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ -- Changes from Peter Spjuth <peter.spjuth@space.se>
+ * tools/man2tcl.c: Increased line buffer size and a bail-out if that
+ should ever be over-run.
+ * tools/man2help.tcl: Include Courier New font in rtf header.
+ * tools/man2help2.tcl: Improved handling of CS/CE fields. Use Courier
+ New for code samples and indent better.
+
+ * doc/file.n:
+ * doc/TraceCmd.3: winhelp conversion tools where understanding a ' as
+ the first character on a line to be an unknown macro. Not knowing how
+ to repair tools/man2tcl.c, I decided to rearrange the text in the docs
+ instead.
+
+2002-05-07 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclFileName.c: fix to similar segfault when using
+ 'glob -types nonsense -dir dirname -join * *'. [Bug 553320]
+
+ * doc/FileSystem.3: further documentation on vfs.
+ * tests/cmdAH.test:
+ * tests/fileSystem.test:
+ * tests/pkgMkindex.test: Fix to testsuite bugs when running out of
+ directory whose name contains '{' or '['.
+
+2002-05-07 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/basic.test: Fix for [Bug 549607]
+ * tests/encoding.test: Fix for [Bug 549610]
+ These are testsuite bugs that caused failures when the filename
+ contained spaces. Report & fix by Kevin Kenny.
+
+2002-05-02 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclFileName.c: fix to freeing a bad object (i.e. segfault)
+ when using 'glob -types nonsense -dir dirname'.
+ * generic/tclWinFile.c: fix to [Bug 551306], also wrapped some long
+ lines.
+ * tests/fileName.test: added several tests for the above bugs.
+ * doc/FileSystem.3: clarified documentation on refCount requirements
+ of the object returned by the path type function.
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+ * win/tclWinFile.c:
+ * unix/tclUnixFile.c:
+ * mac/tclMacFile.c: moved TclpFilesystemPathType to the platform
+ specific directories, so we can add missing platform-specific
+ implementations. On Windows, 'file system' now returns useful results
+ like "native NTFS", "native FAT" for that system. Unix and MacOS still
+ only return "native".
+ * doc/file.n: clarified documentation.
+ * tests/winFile.test: test for 'file system' returning correct values.
+ * tests/fileSystem.test: test for 'file system' returning correct
+ values. Clean up after failed previous test run.
+
+2002-04-26 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * unix/configure:
+ * unix/tcl.m4: change HP-11 SHLIB_LD_LIBS from "" to ${LIBS} so that
+ the .sl knows its dependent libs.
+
+2002-04-26 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * tests/obj.test (obj-11.[56]): Test conversion to boolean more

+ parsing function on native 64-bit platforms! [Bug 548686]
+
+2002-04-24 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h: corrected TclRememberJoinableThread decl to use

+
+2002-04-23 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * doc/exec.n:
+ * doc/tclvars.n: doc updates [Patch 509426] (gravereaux)
+
+2002-04-24 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * mac/tclMacResource.r: added check of TCLTK_NO_LIBRARY_TEXT_RESOURCES
+ #define to allow disabling the inclusion of the tcl library code in
+ the resource fork of Tcl executables and shared libraries.
+
+2002-04-23 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

+ * unix/Makefile.in:
+ * unix/tclUnixThrd.c:
+ * win/Makefile.in:
+ * win/tclWinInt.h:
+ * win/tclWinThrd.c: added new threaded allocator contributed by AOL
+ that significantly reduces lock contention when multiple threads are
+ in use. Only Windows and Unix implementations are ready, and the
+ Windows one may need work. It is only used by default on Unix for now,
+ and requires that USE_THREAD_ALLOC be defined (--enable-threads on
+ Unix will define this).
+
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSRegister, Tcl_FSUnregister): corrected
+ calling of Tcl_ConditionWait to ensure that there would be a condition
+ to wait upon.
+
+ * generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FileObjCmd): added cast in FILE_SIZE.
+
+ * win/tclWinFCmd.c (DoDeleteFile): check return of setattr API calls
+ in file deletion for correct Win32 API handling.
+
+ * win/Makefile.in: correct dependencies for shell, gdb, runtest
+ targets.
+
+ * doc/clock.n:
+ * compat/strftime.c (_fmt): change strftime to correctly handle
+ localized %c, %x and %X on Windows. Added some notes about how the
+ other values could be further localized.
+
+2002-04-19 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main): Free the memory allocated for the
+ startup script path. [Bug 543549]
+
+ * library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl: [mcmax] wasn't using the caller's

+ revisions for better use of namespace variables and more efficient
+ [uplevel]s.
+
+ * doc/msgcat.n:
+ * library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:
+ * library/msgcat/pkgIndex.tcl: Added [mcload] to the export list of

+ * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
+ * generic/tclStubInit.c:
+ * mac/tclMacFCmd.c:
+ * mac/tclMacFile.c:
+ * mac/tclMacUtil.c: Modified TclpObjNormalizePath to be alias file
+ aware, and replaced various calls to FSpLocationFrom*Path by calls to
+ new alias file aware versions FSpLLocationFrom*Path. The alias file
+ aware routines don't resolve the last component of a path if it is an
+ alias. This allows [file copy/delete] etc. to act correctly on alias
+ files. (c.f. discussion in [Bug 511666])
+
+2002-04-19 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * tests/lindex.test (lindex-3.7):

+
+2002-04-18 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclNamesp.c:

+ eval, bug report by Richard Suchenwirth.
+
+2002-04-18 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * doc/subst.n: Clarified documentation on handling unusual return
+ codes during substitution, and on variable substitutions implied by
+ command substitution, and vice versa. [Bug 536838]
+
+2002-04-18 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoBodyCmd):
+ * tests/info.test (info-2.6): Proc bodies without string reps would
+ report as empty [Bug 545644]
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SubstObj): More clarification for comment on
+ behaviour when substitutions are not well-formed, prompted by [Bug
+ 536831]; alas, removing the ill-defined behaviour is a lot of work.
+
+2002-04-18 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c:
+ * tests/expr-old.test: fix for [Bug 542588] (Phil Ehrens), where "too
+ large integers" were reported as "floating-point value" in [expr]
+ error messages.
+
+2002-04-17 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/tclEncoding.c (EscapeFromUtfProc):
+ * generic/tclIO.c (WriteChars, Tcl_Close): corrected the handling of
+ outputting end escapes for escape-based encodings.
+ [Bug 526524] (yamamoto)
+
+2002-04-17 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * doc/tcltest.n: Removed [saveState] and [restoreState] from tcltest
+ 2 documentation, effectively deprecating them. [Bug 495660]
+ * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Made separate export for commands kept
+ only for tcltest 1 compatibility.
+
+ * tests/iogt.test: Revised to run tests in a namespace, rather than
+ use the useless and buggy [saveState] and [restoreState] commands of
+ tcltest. Updated to use tcltest 2 as well. [Patch 544911]
+
+2002-04-16 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/io.test: Revised to run tests in a namespace, rather than use
+ the useless and buggy [saveState] and [restoreState] commands of
+ tcltest. Updated to use tcltest 2 as well. [Patch 544546]
+
+2002-04-15 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclProc.c:
+ * tests/proc-old.test: Improved stack trace for TCL_BREAK and
+ TCL_CONTINUE returns from procs. [Bug 536955] (dgp)
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c:
+ * tests/compile.test: made bytecodes check for a catch before
+ returning; the compiled [return] is otherwise non-catchable. [Bug
+ 542142] reported by Andreas Kupries.
+
+2002-04-15 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/socket.test: Increased timeout values so that tests have time
+ to successfully complete even on slow/busy machines. [Bug 523470]
+
+ * doc/tcltest.n:
+ * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:
+ * tests/tcltest.test: Revised [tcltest::test] to return errors when
+ called with invalid syntax and to accept exactly two arguments as
+ documented. Improved error messages. [Bug 497446, Patch 513983]
+ ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***: Incompatible with previous
+ tcltest 2.* releases, found only in alpha releases of Tcl 8.4.
+
+2002-04-11 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/tclNotify.c (TclFinalizeNotifier): remove remaining
+ unserviced events on finalization.
+
+ * win/tcl.m4: Enabled COFF as well as CV style debug info with
+ --enable-symbols to allow Dr. Watson users to see function info. More
+ info on debugging levels can be obtained at:
+ http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnvc60/html/gendepdebug.asp
+
+ * tests/ioCmd.test: fixed iocmd-8.15 to have mac and unixPc variants.
+
+ * generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_ParseVar): conditionally incr obj refcount
+ to prevent possible mem leak.
+
+2002-04-08 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tcl.h: no <sys/types.h> on mac.
+ * mac/tclMacFile.c: minor fixes to Vince's changes from 03-24.
+ * mac/tclMacOSA.c:
+ * mac/tclMacResource.c: added missing Tcl_UtfToExternalDString
+ conversions of resource file names.
+ * mac/tclMacSock.c (TcpGetOptionProc): fixed bug introduced by Andreas
+ on 02-25; changed strcmp's to strncmp's so that option comparison
+ behaves like on other platforms.
+ * mac/tcltkMacBuildSupport.sea.hqx (CW Pro6 changes): added support to
+ allow Tk to hookup C library stderr/stdout to TkConsole.
+ * tests/basic.test:
+ * tests/cmdAH.test:
+ * tests/encoding.test:
+ * tests/fileSystem.test:
+ * tests/ioCmd.test: fixed tests failing on mac: check for existence of
+ [exec], changed some result strings.
+
+2002-04-06 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (Realpath): added a little extra code to
+ initialize a realpath arg when compiling in PURIFY mode in order to
+ prevent spurious purify warnings. We should really create our own
+ realpath implementation, but this will at least quiet purify for now.
+
+2002-04-05 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SubstObj):
+ * tests/subst.test: Corrected [subst] so that return codes TCL_BREAK
+ and TCL_CONTINUE returned by variable substitution have the same
+ effect as when those codes are returned by command substitution. [Bug
+ 536879]
+
+2002-04-03 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: added getMatchingFiles back (alias
+ to GetMatchingFiles), which was a public function in tcltest 1.0.
+
+2002-04-01 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclEnv.c:
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c: invalidate filesystem cache when the user
+ changes env(HOME). Fixes [Bug 535621]. Also cleaned up some of the
+ documentation.
+ * tests/fileSystem.test: added test for bug just fixed.
+
+2002-04-01 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+ * win/tclWinTime.c (Tcl_GetTime): made the checks of clock frequency
+ more permissive to cope with the fact that Win98SE is observed to
+ return 1.19318 in place of 1.193182 for the performance counter
+ frequency.
+
+2002-03-29 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TraceObjCmd, TraceVarProc)
+ (TraceCommandProc, TclTraceCommandObjCmd): corrected potential
+ double-free of traces on variables by flagging in Trace*Proc that it
+ will free the var in case the eval wants to delete the var trace as
+ well. [Bug 536937]
+ Also converted Tcl_UntraceVar -> Tcl_UntraceVar2 and Tcl_Eval to
+ Tcl_EvalEx in Trace*Proc for slight efficiency improvement.

+
+2002-03-28 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+ * tools/feather.bmp:
+ * tools/man2help.tcl:
+ * tools/man2help2.tcl:
+ * win/makefile.vc: More winhelp target fixups. Added a feather bitmap
+ to the non-scrollable area and changed the color to be yellow from a

+ thought I would start with something bold. [Bug 527941]
+
+ * doc/SetVar.3:

+
+2002-03-27 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * tools/man2help.tcl:
+ * win/makefile.vc: winhelp target now copies all needed files from
+ tools/ to a workarea under $(OUT_DIR) and builds it from there. No
+ build cruft is left in tools/ anymore. All paths used in man2help.tcl
+ are now relative to where the script is. [Bug 527941]
+
+2002-03-27 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/.cvsignore:
+ * win/buildall.vc.bat:
+ * win/coffbase.txt:
+ * win/makefile.vc:
+ * win/nmakehlp.c (new):
+ * win/rules.vc: First draft fix for [Bug 527941]. More changes need to
+ done to the makehelp target to get to stop leaving build files in the
+ tools/ directory. This does not address the syntax errors in the man
+ files. Having the contents of tcl.hpj(.in) inside makefile.vc allows
+ for version numbers to be replaced with macros.
+
+ The new nmakehlp.c is built by rules.vc in preprocessing and removes
+ the need to use tricky shell syntax that wasn't compatible on Win9x
+ systems. Clean targets made Win9x complient. This is a first draft
+ repair for [Bug 533862].
+
+2002-03-28 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalEx): passing the correct commandSize

+
+2002-03-28 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+ * doc/tcltest.n ([mainThread]):

+ fixed in the process.
+
+ * tests/main.test: Added missing [after cancel]s.
+
+2002-03-25 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/main.test: Removed workarounds for Bug 495977.
+
+ * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Keep the value of $::auto_path
+ unchanged, so that the tcltest package can test code that depends
+ on auto-loading. If a testing application needs $::auto_path pruned,
+ it should do that itself. [Bug 495726]
+ Improve the processing of the -constraints option to [test] so that
+ constraint lists can have arbitrary whitespace, and non-lists don't
+ blow things up. [Bug 495977]
+ Corrected faulty variable initialization. [Bug 534845]
+
+2002-03-25 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * doc/CrtTrace.3: small doc correction

+
+2002-03-24 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+ documentation of some aspects of the filesystem, particularly
+ 'Tcl_FSMatchInDirectory' which now might match a single file/directory
+ only, and 'file normalize' which wasn't very clear before. Removed
+ inconsistency betweens docs and the Tcl_Filesystem structure. Also
+ fixed [Bug 523217] and corrected file normalization on Unix so that it
+ expands symbolic links. Added some new tests of the filesystem code
+ (in the new file 'fileSystem.test'), and some extra tests for correct
+ handling of symbolic links. Fix to [Bug 530960] which shows up on
+ Win98. Made comparison with ".com" case insensitive in tclWinPipe.c
+
+ ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***: But only between alpha releases
+ (users of the new Tcl_Filesystem lookup table in Tcl 8.4a4 need to
+ handle the new way in which Tcl may call Tcl_FSMatchInDirectory, and
+ 'file normalize' on unix now behaves correctly). Only known impact is
+ with the 'tclvfs' extension.

+ D:FooBar before the glob.
+
+2002-03-11 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclEncoding.c: Fix typo in comment.
+ * generic/tclIO.c (DoReadChars, ReadBytes, ReadChars): Use NULL value
+ instead of pointer set to NULL to make things more clear. Reorder
+ arguments so that they match the function signatures. Cleanup little
+ typos and add more descriptive comment.
+
+2002-03-08 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * win/README: Update to indicate that Mingw 1.1 is required to build
+ Tcl. Add section describing new msys based build process. Update
+ Cygwin build instructions so users know where to find Mingw 1.1.
+
+2002-03-08 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinFCmd.c (DoCopyFile): correctly set retval to TCL_OK.

+
+ * win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclpCheckStackSpace):

+
+ * doc/interp.n:
+ * generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_InterpObjCmd,SlaveObjCmd,
+ (SlaveRecursionLimit):
+ * generic/tclTest.c:

+
+2002-03-06 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tcl.h, tools/tcl.wse.in, unix/configure.in,
+ * unix/tcl.spec, win/README.binary, win/configure.in, README:
+ Bumped patchlevel; this might need to change in the future, but it
+ will help us distinguish between the CVS version and the most
+ recent released version.
+
+2002-03-06 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h: for unshared objects, TclDecrRefCount now frees

+
+ * tests/encoding.test: added encoding-23.* tests
+ * generic/tclIO.c (FilterInputBytes): reset the TCL_ENCODING_START

+ Also reduced the value of ENCODING_LINESIZE from 30 to 20 as this
+ seems to improve the performance of 'gets' according to tclbench.

+
+2002-02-27 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * doc/GetIndex.3:
+ * generic/tcl.decls (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct):
+ * generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct): Revised the
+ prototype of the Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct to take its struct
+ table as a (CONST VOID *) argument, better describing what it is,
+ maintaining source compatibility, and adding CONST correctness
+ according to TIP 27. Thanks to Joe English for an elegant
+ solution. [Bug 520304]
+
+ * generic/tclDecls.h: make genstubs
+
+ * generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main,StdinProc): Corrected some reference

+ Purify. Thanks to Jeff Hobbs for the report and assistance.
+
+2002-02-27 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+

+2002-02-27 Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/socket.test (2.7): Accepted and applied patch for [Bug 523470]
+ provided by Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net> to avoid timing
+ problems in that test.
+
+ * unix/tclUnixChan.c (TclpOpenFileChannel): Added code to regonize
+ "/dev/tty" (by name) and to not handle it as tty / serial line. This
+ is the controlling terminal and is special. Setting it into raw mode
+ as is done for other tty's is a bad idea. This is a hackish fix for
+ expect [Bug 520624]. The fix has limitation: Tcl_MakeFileChannel
+ handles tty's specially too, but is unable to recognize /dev/tty as it
+ only gets a file descriptor, and no name for it.
+
+2002-02-26 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdAH.c (StoreStatData): corrected mem leak.
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): prevent obj leak in remedial

+
+ * generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_TranslateFileName): decr refcount for
+ error case to prevent mem leak.
+
+ * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd): removed extra obj allocation.
+
+ * unix/tclUnixSock.c (Tcl_GetHostName): added an extra gethostbyname
+ check to guard against failure with truncated names returned by uname.
+
+ * unix/configure:
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_SERIAL_PORT): added sys/modem.h check and defined
+ _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED for HP-11 to get updated header decls.

+
+2002-02-26 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCmpCmds.c: (bugfix to the bugfix, hopefully the last)
+ Bugfix to the new [for] compiling code: was setting a exceptArray
+ parameter using another param which wasn't yet initialised, thus
+ filling it with noise.
+
+2002-02-25 Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * mac/tclMacSock.c (TcpGetOptionProc): Changed to recognize the option

+
+ * generic/tclHash.c (AllocArrayEntry, AllocStringEntry): Before
+ invoking ckalloc when creating a Tcl_HashEntry, check that the amount

+
+2002-02-25 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+2002-02-25 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds: fixing a bug in patch dated 2002-02-22, in the

+
+2002-02-25 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

+
+2002-02-22 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h:

+ * library/safe.tcl (CheckFileName): removed the limit on

+
+2002-02-22 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds: [FR 465811]. Optimising [if], [for] and

+
+ * compat/strtoll.c (strtoll):
+ * compat/strtoull.c (strtoull):

+ Note that the return pointer is non-const because it is entirely

+
+2002-02-21 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/mkd.bat (removed):
+ * win/coffbase.txt (new):
+ * win/makefile.bc:
+ * win/makefile.vc: Changed the 'setup' target to stop using the
+ mkd.bat file and just make the directory right in the rule. Same
+ change to makefile.bc. configure.in nor Makefile.in use it.
+
+ coffbase.txt will be the master list for our "prefered base addresses"
+ set by the linker. This should improve load-time (NT only) by avoiding
+ relocations. Submissions to the list by extension authors are
+ encouraged.
+
+ Added a 'tidy' target to compliment 'clean' and 'hose' to remove just
+ the outputs. Also removed the $(winlibs) macro as it wasn't being
+ used.
+
+ Stuff left to do:
+ 1) get the winhelp target to stop building in the tools/ directory.
+ 2) stop using rmd.bat
+ 3) add more dependacy rules.
+
+ * win/tclAppInit.c: Reverted back to -r1.6, as the header file change
+ to tclPort.h won't allow for easy embedded support outside of the
+ source dist. Thanks to Don Porter for pointing this out to me.
+
+2002-02-21 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/makefile.vc:
+ * win/rules.vc: Added a new "loimpact" option that sets the
+ -ws:aggressive linker option. Off by default. It's said to keep the
+ heap use low at the expense of alloc speed.
+
+ * win/tclAppInit.c: Changed #include "tcl.h" to be tclPort.h to remove
+ the raw windows.h include. tclPort.h brings in windows.h already and
+ lessens the pre-compiled-header mush and the randomly useless #pragma
+ comment (lib,...) references throughout the big windows.h tree (as
+ observed at high linker warning levels).
+
+2002-02-21 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

+ now sensitive to presence of (suitable) <limits.h>
+
+2002-02-20 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tcl.decls (Tcl_RegExpRange,Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct):
+ Overlooked a few source incompatibilities. Now using CONST84.
+ * generic/tclDecls.h: make genstubs
+ * generic/tcl.h (Tcl_CmdObjTraceProc): silence warning from Sun
+ Workshop compiler.
+
+2002-02-20 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/buildall.vc.bat:
+ * win/makefile.vc:
+ * win/rules.vc: General clean-ups. Added compiler and linker tests for
+ a) the pentium 0x0F errata, b) optimizing (not all have this), and c)
+ linker v6 section alignment confusion. All these are tested first to
+ make sure any D4002 or LNK1117 warnings aren't displayed. The pentium
+ 0x0F errata is a recommended switch. The v5 linker's section alignment
+ default is 512, but the v6 linker was changed to 4096 in an attempt to
+ speed loading on Win98. I changed the default to always be 512 across
+ both linkers, unless linking statically, then 4096 is used for the
+ claimed speed effect. Using a 512 alignment saves 12k bytes of dead
+ space in the DLL.
+
+ Added IA64 B-stepping errata switch when the compiler supports it.
+
+ Added profiling to $(lflags) when requested and also removed the
+ explict -entry option as the default works fine as is.
+
+ Removed win/tclWinInit.c from the special case section to let it use
+ the common implicit rule as the $(EXTFLAGS) macro it had was never
+ referenced anywhere.
+
+2002-02-20 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tcl.h: Added code to guess the correct settings for
+ TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG and TCL_WIDE_INT_TYPE when configure doesn't tell
+ us them, as can happen with extensions.
+
+2002-02-19 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * doc/format.n: Updated docs to list the specification.
+ * generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FormatObjCmd): Made behaviour on 64-bit
+ platforms correctly meet the specification, that %d works with the
+ native word-sized integer, instead of trying to guess (wrongly) from
+ the value being passed.
+
+2002-02-19 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * changes: First draft of updated changes for 8.4a4 release.
+
+2002-02-15 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * unix/tclUnixPort.h: add strtoll/strtoull declarations for platforms
+ that do not define them.
+
+ * generic/tclIndexObj.c (STRING_AT): removed ptrdiff_t cast and use of
+ VOID* in default case (GNU-ism).

+
+ +----------------------+
+ | TIP #72 IMPLEMENTED. |
+ +----------------------+
+
+ There are a lot of changes from this TIP, so please see
+ http://tip.tcl.tk/72.html for discussion of backward-compatability
+ issues, but the main ones modifications are in:
+
+ * generic/tcl.h: New types.
+ * generic/tcl.decls: New public functions.
+ * generic/tclExecute.c: 64-bit aware bytecode engine.
+ * generic/tclBinary.c: 64-bit handling in [binary] command.
+ * generic/tclScan.c: 64-bit handling in [scan] command.
+ * generic/tclCmdAH.c: 64-bit handling in [file] and [format]
+ commands.
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: New "wordSize" entry in ::tcl_platform.
+ * generic/tclFCmd.c: Large-file support (with many consequences.)
+ * generic/tclIO.c: Large-file support (with many consequences.)
+ * compat/strtoll.c, compat/strtoull.c: New support functions.
+ * unix/tcl.m4, unix/configure: 64-bit support and greatly enhanced
+ cacheing.
+
+ Most other changes, including all those in doc/* and test/* as well as
+ the majority in the platform directories, follow on from these.
+
+ Also coming out of the woodwork:
+ * generic/tclIndex.c: Better support for Cray PVP.
+ * win/tclWinMtherr.c: Better Borland support.
+
+ Note that, in a number of places through the Unix part of the platform
+ support, there are Tcl_Platform* references. These are expanded into
+ the correct way to call that particular underlying function, i.e. with
+ or without a '64' suffix, and should be used by people working on the
+ core in preference to the API functions they overlay so that the code
+ remains portable depending on the presence or absence of 64-bit
+ support on the underlying platform.
+
+ ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***: Extracted from the TIP
+
+ SUMMARY OF INCOMPATIBILITIES AND FIXES
+ ======================================
+
+ The behaviour of expressions containing constants that appear positive
+ but which have a negative internal representation will change, as
+ these will now usually be interpreted as wide integers. This is always
+ fixable by replacing the constant with int(constant).
+
+ Extensions creating new channel types will need to be altered as
+ different types are now in use in those areas. The change to the
+ declaration of Tcl_FSStat and Tcl_FSLstat (which are the new preferred
+ API in any case) are less serious as no non-alpha releases have been
+ made yet with those API functions.
+
+ Scripts that are lax about the use of the l modifier in format and
+ scan will probably need to be rewritten. This should be very uncommon
+ though as previously it had absolutely no effect.
+
+ Extensions that create new math functions that take more than one
+ argument will need to be recompiled (the size of Tcl_Value changes),
+ and functions that accept arguments of any type (TCL_EITHER) will need
+ to be rewritten to handle wide integer values. (I do not expect this
+ to affect many extensions at all.)
+
+2002-02-14 Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_GetsObjCmd): Trivial fix for [Bug 517503], a
+ memory leak reported by Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>.
+ The leak happens if an error occurs for "set var [gets $chan]" and
+ leak one empty object.
+
+2002-02-12 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * djgpp/ (new directory)
+ * djgpp/Makefile (new):
+ * unix/tclAppInit.c:
+ * unix/tclMtherr.c:
+ * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c:
+ * unix/tclUnixFile.c:
+ * unix/tclUnixInit.c:
+ * unix/tclUnixPort.h: Early stage of DJGPP support for building Tcl
+ on DOS. Dynamic loading isn't working, yet. Requires watt32 for the
+ TCP/IP stack. No autoconf, yet. Barely tested, but makes a working exe
+ that runs Tcl in protected-mode, flat memory. [exec] and pipes will
+ need the most work as multi-tasking on DOS has to be carefully.

+ * tests/scan.test:

+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileRegexpCmd): made early check

+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): added special case to
+ search for simple 'string map' style regsub calls.
+ Delayed creation of resultPtr object until an initial match is

+ (Tcl_StringObjCmd): optimization improvements to the STR_MAP
+ algorithm for zero-length and nocase cases.

+ * unix/tclUnixChan.c (FileOutputProc): Fixed [bug 465765] reported by

+ * tests/regexpComp.test (new):

+ it only throws the error for runtime compile, in case the user
+ modifies 'string'.
+ (TclCompileRegexpCmd): first try at a byte-compiled regexp
+ command. It handles static strings and ^$ bounded static strings.
+ (TclCompileAppendCmd): made TclPushVarName call always use
+ TCL_CREATE_VAR as numWords is always > 2 at that point.
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode:INST_LIST): correct

+ * generic/tclIO.c (WriteChars): Fix for [Bug 506297], reported by

+ TCL_ENCODING_START is set, but does not consume any input as
+ TCL_ENCODING_END is cleared. As some output was generated the
+ enclosing loop calls UtfToExternal again, again with START set. Three
+ more characters in the out and still no use of input ... To break this
+ infinite loop we remove TCL_ENCODING_START from the set of flags after
+ the first call (no condition is required, the later calls remove an
+ unset flag, which is a no-op). This causes the subsequent calls to
+ UtfToExternal to consume and convert the actual input.

+ * generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_GetsObjCmd): Fixed [Bug 504642] as reported
+ by Brian Griffin <bgriffin@users.sourceforge.net>, using his patch.
+ Before the patch the generic I/O layer held an unannounced reference
+ to the interp result to store the read line into. This unfortunately
+ has disastrous results if the channel driver executes a Tcl script to
+ perform its operation, this freeing the interp result. In that case we
+ are dereferencing essentially a dangling reference. It is not truly
+ dangling because the object is in the free list, but this only causes
+ us to smash the free list and have the error occur later somewhere
+ else. The patch simply creates a new object for the line and later
+ sets it into the interp result when we are done with reading.

+
+ * doc/Tcl_Main.3:
+ * generic/tclMain.c: Substantial rewrite and expanded documentation
+ of Tcl_Main to correct a number of bugs and flaws:
+
+ * Interactive Tcl_Main can now enter a main loop, exit that
+ loop and continue interactive operations. The loop may even
+ exit in the midst of interactive command typing without loss
+ of the partial command. [Bugs 486453, 474131]
+ * Tcl_Main now gracefully handles deletion of its master
+ interpreter.
+ * Interactive Tcl_Main can now operate with non-blocking stdin
+ * Interactive Tcl_Main can now detect EOF on stdin even in
+ mid-command. [Bug 491341]
+ * Added VFS-aware internal routines for managing the startup
+ script selection.
+ * Tcl variable 'tcl_interactive' is now linked to C variable
+ 'tty' so that one can disable/enable interactive prompts at
+ the script level when there is no startup script. This is
+ meant for use by the test suite.
+ * Consistent use of the Tcl libraries standard channels as
+ returned by Tcl_GetStdChannel(); as opposed to the channels
+ named 'stdin', 'stdout', and 'stderr' in the master interp,
+ which can be different or unavailable.
+ * Tcl_Main now calls Tcl_Exit() if evaluation of [exit] in the
+ master interpreter returns, assuring Tcl_Main does not
+ return.
+ * Documented Tcl_Main's absence from public stub table
+ * Documented that Tcl_Main does not return.
+ * Documented Tcl variables set by Tcl_Main.
+ * All prompts are done from a single procedure, Prompt.
+ * Use of Tcl_Obj-enabled interfaces everywhere.
+
+ * generic/tclInt.decls (TclGetStartupScriptPath,
+ (TclSetStartupScriptPath): New internal VFS-aware routines for
+ managing the startup script of Tcl_Main.
+ * generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+ * generic/tclStubInit.c: make genstubs
+
+ * generic/tclTest.c (TestsetmainloopCmd,TestexitmainloopCmd,
+ (Tcltest_Init,TestinterpdeleteCmd):
+ * tests/main.test (new): Added new file to test suite that thoroughly
+ tests generic/tclMain.c; added some new test commands for testing
