2004-12-29 Jeff Hobbs <[email protected]>
* win/tcl.m4, win/configure: update MSVC CFLAGS_OPT to -O2, remove -Gs
(included in -O2) and -GD (outdated). Use "link -lib" instead of "lib"
binary and remove -YX for MSVC7 portability. Add -fomit-frame-pointer
for gcc OPT compiles. [Bug 1092952, 1091967] Align LIBS_GUI with Tk
head needs.
2004-12-29 Kevin B. Kenny <[email protected]>
* generic/tclDate.c: Regen
* generic/tclGetDate.y (TclDatelex): Fixed a problem where a
four-digit group with >=2 leading zeroes appeared to be a two-digit
group, leading to misinterpreting the time 0012 as 1200. [Bug 1090413]
* library/clock.tcl: Added code to interpret correctly months outside
the range 01-12 as reduced modulo 12 with a corresponding adjustment
to the year. [Bug 1092789]
* tests/clock.test: Added regression test cases for the above two bugs
* unix/Makefile.in: Added --no-lines to the 'bison' command line to
* win/Makefile.in: help constrain the number of diffs in a cvs checkin
2004-12-24 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclCompile.c:
* generic/tclCompile.h:
* generic/tclExecute.c:
* generic/tclInt.h:
* generic/tclLiteral.c:
* generic/tclProc.c:
Avoid sharing cmdName literals accross namespaces, and generalise
usage of the TclRegisterNewLiteral macro. [Patch 1090905]
2004-12-20 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclCompile.c: moved TclInitCompiledLocals to tclProc.c
* generic/tclProc.c: new static InitCompiledLocals to allow for a
single pass over the proc's arguments at proc load time (instead of
two as previously). TclObjInterpProc() now allocates the
compiledLocals on the tcl execution stack, using the new
TclStackAlloc/Free functions.
2004-12-16 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_LimitSetTime, TimeLimitCallback):
(TclLimitRemoveAllHandlers, TclInitLimitSupport): Set a timer event to
trigger when the time limit runs out. All the time limit actually does
is check to see if the time limit has been exceeded, but this is
enough to fix [Bug 1085023].
* generic/tclInt.h (struct Interp): Added a field to hold the token
for the timer event handler associated with the current time limit.
* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_UpdateObjCmd, Tcl_VwaitObjCmd): Add error
message when limit exceeded.
* tests/interp.test (interp-34.[89]): Check that time limits handle
the two cases reported in [Bug 1085023]
* generic/tclTimer.c (TclCreateAbsoluteTimerHandler): New internal
function that allows setting a timer handler that will be triggered at
(or after) a specific time instead of at some number of milliseconds
in the future. This is a candidate for future exposure via a TIP.
2004-12-15 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclBasic.c:
* generic/tclExecute.c:
* generic/tclInt.decls:
* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
* generic/tclNamesp.c:
* generic/tclProc.c:
* generic/tclStubInit.c:
* generic/tclTest.c: Added two new functions to allocate memory from
the execution stack (TclStackAlloc, TclStackFree). Added functions
TclPushStackFrame and TclPopStackFrame that do the work of
Tcl_PushCallFrame and Tcl_PopCallFrame, but using frames allocated in
the execution stack - i.e., heap instead of C-stack. The core uses
these two new functions exclusively; the old ones remain for backwards
compat, as at least two popular extensions (itcl, xotcl) are known to
use them.
2004-12-14 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclCmdIL.c:
* generic/tclInt.h:
* generic/tclProc.c:
* generic/tclVar.c: changing the isProcCallFrame field of the
CallFrame struct from a 0/1 field to flags. Should be perfectly
backwards compatible.
2004-12-14 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* unix/configure.in: Added special processing to remove "$U" from
libraries in the LIBOBJS value. This is an auto-make-ism we need to
avoid. [Bug 1081541]
* unix/configure: autoconf-2.57
2004-12-13 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* generic/tcl.h: Restored extern "C" guards so that C++ code sees
function pointer typedef linkage consistent with earlier Tcl releases.
[Bug 1082349]
* generic/tclEncoding.c: Plugged some memory leaks. Thanks to Rolf Ade
* generic/tclUtil.c: for reports and testing [Bug 1083082]
2004-12-13 Kevin B. Kenny <[email protected]>
* doc/clock.n: Clarify that the [clock scan] command does not accept
the full range of ISO8601 point-in-time formats. [Bug 1075433]
2004-12-12 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclVar.c (TclArrayObjCmd - ARRAY_NAMES): leaking an object
[Bug 1084111] - thanks to Rolf Ade.
2004-12-12 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclObj.c (TclSetCmdNameObj): special handling for fully
qualified command names (as in fix [Patch 456668]).
2004-12-11 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclInt.h:
* generic/tclNamesp.c: converting the static function
GetNamespaceFromObj() to MODULE_SCOPE TclGetNamespaceFromObj().
2004-12-10 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* tools/tcl.wse.in, unix/tcl.spec, win/README.binary, README:
* win/configure.in, unix/configure.in, generic/tcl.h:
Bumped version number to 8.5a3 to distinguish HEAD of CVS development
from the recent 8.5a2 release.
2004-12-10 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclCompile.c (TclInitCompiledLocals):
* generic/tclCompile.h:
* generic/tclInt.h:
* generic/tclProc.c (TclObjInterpProc, TclCreateProc): optimised
loops that initialise a proc's arguments and compiled local
variables, removing tests from inner loops.
2004-12-10 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclInt.h: Move ensemble API decls here from tclNamesp.c
2004-12-09 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclNamesp.c (TclMakeEnsembleCmd, TclSetEnsemble*)
(TclSetEnsemble*, TclFindEnsemble): Build an internal API for creating
and manipulating ensembles; they can be deleted using the normal
command-deletion API.
* doc/Async.3: Reword for better grammar, better nroff and get the
flag name right. (Reported by David Welton.)
2004-12-07 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* tests/unixInit.test (2.1-4): Added constraints so that when a value
of TCL_LIBRARY is required for process initialization, we skip the
tests that mess with that value.
2004-12-07 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
*** 8.5a2 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
* unix/Makefile.in: add library/{tzdata,msgs} to dist target (kbk)
* doc/foreach.n: Adjust tabs to be friendlier to some HTML
converters. [Bug 1078760]
2004-12-06 Jeff Hobbs <[email protected]>
* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (NotifierThreadProc): init numFdBits
[Bug 1079286]
* doc/error.n, doc/SaveResult.3, doc/Thread.3: minor nroff typos
2004-12-06 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* tests/safe.test: Trim auto_path to improve performance [1080039]
* tests/msgcat.test: makeFile/removeFile cleanup [1079117]
2004-12-04 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* generic/tclEncoding.c: Different fix for [Bug 1077005].
* generic/tclEvent.c: Broke apart TclpSetInitialEncodings() on
* generic/tclInt.h: Windows into TclpSetInterfaces(), that is
* unix/tclUnixInit.c: fundamentally essential, and the initialization
* win/tclWinInit.c: of the system encoding, which is not. Made
the TclpSetInterfaces call part of TclInitSubsystems so it cannot be
overlooked.
2004-12-03 Jeff Hobbs <[email protected]>
* changes: updated for 8.5a2 release
2004-12-02 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* generic/tclUtil.c (TclSetProcessGlobalValue): Handle the case where
a ProcessGlobalValue might be assigned to itself.
* generic/tclEncoding.c (MakeFileMap): Correct refcounting errors
managing values returned by TclPathPart (with refCount of 1!) that led
to a memory leak. [Bug 1077474].
2004-12-02 Vince Darley <[email protected]>
* generic/tclPathObj.c: fix and new tests for [Bug 1074671] to ensure
* tests/fileSystem.test: tilde paths are not returned specially by
'glob'.
2004-12-02 Kevin B. Kenny <[email protected]>
* win/Makefile.in: Added a 'sed' in the setting of ROOT_DIR_NATIVE to
compensate for a bug in cygpath (at least version 1.36) that leaves a
trailing backslash on the end of the converted path.
2004-12-02 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclInterp.c (Alias,Target,Master): Rewrote these so that the
aliases that refer to an interpreter are stored in a list and not a
hashtable (which was only ever a convenience, and forced the use of a
global mutex to generate keys!) [FRQ 1077210]
* generic/tclNamesp.c (numNsCreated): Moved into thread-local storage
to remove a global mutex. [FRQ 1077210]
2004-12-01 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* generic/tclUtil.c (TclGetProcessGlobalValue): Narrowed the scope of
mutex locks.
* generic/tclUtil.c: Updated Tcl_GetNameOfExecutable() to
* generic/tclEncoding.c: make use of a ProcessGlobalValue for
* generic/tclEvent.c: storing the executable name. Added
internal routines Tcl(Get|Set)ObjNameOfExecutable() to access that
storage in Tcl_Obj, rather than string format.
* unix/tclUnixFile.c: Rewrote TclpFindExecutable() to use
* win/tclWinFile.c: TclSetObjNameOfExecutable to store the
executable name it computes.
* generic/tclInt.h: Added internal stub entries for
* generic/tclInt.decls: TclpFindExecutable and
Tcl(Get|Set)ObjNameOfExecutable.
* generic/tclIntDecls.h: make genstubs
* generic/tclStubInit.c:
* generic/tclCmdIL.c: Retrieve executable name in Tcl_Obj form
* win/tclWinPipe.c: instead of string form.
* unix/tclUnixTest.c: Update [testfindexecutable] command to use new
internal interfaces.
* generic/tclEncoding.c: Moved TclpSetInitialEncodings() call
from Tcl_FindExecutable() into TclInitEncodingSubsystem(). This is
important on Windows where it establishes whether the "ascii" or
"unicode" set of system routines will be used, and that needs to be
done earlier to support filesystem operations. [Bug 1077005]
2004-12-01 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* tests/winDde.test: Rewritten to use tcltest2 features more
thoroughly (reducing the [catch] count!) and fix the problem with
winDde-6.1 being out of synch with the implementation.
2004-11-30 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* library/init.tcl ([unknown]): Restored the save/restore of the
variables ::errorCode and ::errorInfo. This is needed when the
[::bgerror] command is auto-loaded (as it is by Tk).
Patch 976520 reworks several of the details involved with
startup/initialization of the Tcl library, focused on the activities
of Tcl_FindExecutable().
* generic/tclIO.c: Removed bogus claim in comment that encoding
"iso8859-1" is "built-in" to Tcl.
* generic/tclInt.h: Created a new struct ProcessGlobalValue,
* generic/tclUtil.c: routines Tcl(Get|Set)ProcessGlobalValue, and
function type TclInitProcessGlobalValueProc. Together, these take care
of the housekeeping for "values" (things that can be held in a
Tcl_Obj) that are global across a whole process. That is, they are
shared among multiple threads, and epoch and mutex protection must
govern the validity of cached copies maintained in each thread.
* generic/tclNotify.c: Modified TclInitNotifier() to tolerate being
called multiple times in the same thread.
* generic/tclEvent.c: Dropped the unused argv0 argument to
TclInitSubsystems(). Removed machinery to unsure only one
TclInitNotifier() call per thread, now that that is safe. Converted
Tcl(Get|Set)LibraryPath to use a ProcessGlobalValue, and moved them to
tclEncoding.c.
* generic/tclBasic.c: Updated caller.
* generic/tclInt.h: TclpFindExecutable now returns void.
* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
* win/tclWinFile.c:
* win/tclWinPipe.c:
* generic/tclEncoding.c: Built new encoding search initialization on a
foundation of ProcessGlobalValues, exposing new routines
Tcl(Get|Set)EncodingSearchPath. A cache of a map from encoding name to
directory pathname keeps track of where encodings are available for
loading. Tcl_FindExecutable greatly simplified into just three
function calls. The "library path" is now misnamed, as its only
remaining purpose is as a foundation for the default encoding search
path.
* generic/tclInterp.c: Inlined the initScript that is evaluated by
Tcl_Init(). Added verification after initScript evaluation that Tcl
can find its installed *.enc files, and that it has initialized
[encoding system] in agreement with what the environment expects.
[tclInit] no longer driven by the value of $::tcl_libPath; it largely
constructs its own search path now, rather than attempt to share one
with the encoding system.
* unix/tclUnixInit.c: TclpSetInitialEncodings factored so that a new
* win/tclWinInit.c: routine TclpGetEncodingNameFromEnvironment can
reveal that Tcl thinks the [encoding system] should be, even when an
incomplete encoding search path, or a missing *.enc file won't allow
that initialization to succeed. TclpInitLibraryPath reworked as an
initializer of a ProcessGlobalValue.
* unix/tclUnixTest.c: Update implementations of [testfindexecutable],
[testgetdefenc], and [testsetdefenc].
* tests/unixInit.test: Corrected tests to operate properly even when
a value of TCL_LIBRARY is required to find encodings.
* generic/tclInt.decls: New internal stubs: TclGetEncodingSearchPath,
TclSetEncodingSearchPath, TclpGetEncodingNameFromEnvironment. These
are candidates for public exposure by future TIPs.
* generic/tclIntDecls.h: make genstubs
* generic/tclStubInit.c:
* generic/tclTest.c: Updated [testencoding] to use
* tests/encoding.test: Tcl(Get|Set)EncodingSearchPath. Updated tests.
2004-11-30 Kevin B. Kenny <[email protected]>
* library/clock.tcl: Corrected the regular expressions that match a
time zone to allow for time zones specified as +HH or -HH.
* tests/clock.test: Added regression test case for the above issue.
Thanks to Rolf Ade for reporting this issue [http://wiki.tcl.tk/13094]
* win/tclWinDde.c (Tcl_DdeObjCmd): Corrected a typo that caused a
compilation failure on VC++.
2004-11-29 Andreas Kupries <[email protected]>
* win/Makefile.in (install-libraries): Brought entry '2004-10-26 Don
Porter (Tcl Modules)' into the windows world, actually the
win/configure buildsystem. The other windows buildsystems (.vc, .bc)
still have to be updated as well.
2004-11-26 Andreas Kupries <[email protected]>
* win/tclWinDde.c (ExecuteRemoteObject): Removed bogus semicolon found
at the end of the header for the function definition, terminating it
early and preventing a compile. This is likely a fix for '2004-11-25
Donal'. I have to conclude that it is also unknown if the other
changes to this file actually pass the testsuite. Running testsuite
... They don't. winDde-6.1 fails. This is only a message discrepance,
i.e. not too bad. Leaving resolution of that to Pat and Donal.
2004-11-26 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* library/auto.tcl (tcl_findLibrary): Made sure the uniquifying
operations on the search path does not also normalize. [Bug 1072136]
2004-11-26 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* unix/configure.in: Simplify the code to check for correctness of
strstr, strtoul and strtod.
* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_TCL_CHECK_BROKEN_FUNC): Split a complex stanza out
of configure.in into its own function. Also force it to do the right
thing with cacheing of results of AC_TRY_RUN to deal with issue raised
in [Patch 1073524]
* doc/foreach.n: Added simple example. [FRQ 1073334]
2004-11-25 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclProc.c (TclObjInterpProc): Make it so that only
* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_WrongNumArgs): [proc] instances do
* tests/indexObj.test (indexObj-5.7): quoting of their first
arguments, so keeping [Bug 942757] fixed and making [Bug 1066837] be
fixed as well. Done with a load of #ifdef-ery because this hack is so
ugly nobody should keep it around once Itcl's fixed.
2004-11-25 Reinhard Max <[email protected]>
* tests/tcltest.test: The order in which [glob] returns the file names
is undefined, so tests should not depend on it.
2004-11-25 Zoran Vasiljevic <[email protected]>
* doc/Thread.3:
* doc/Notifier.3: Added changes from the core-8-4-branch
2004-11-25 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* doc/dde.n: Synchronized the documentation of the commands with the
header of the docs and what the package actually does. Thanks to
Andreas Kupries for spotting this.
* win/tclWinDde.c (Tcl_DdeObjCmd): Much cleanup of argument parsing
code.
2004-11-24 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>
* generic/tclPort.h: Relative include of tclWinPort.h returned as it
was requiring me set -I$(tcl_root)/win for my extensions that need to
include tclInt.h and doesn't appear to serve any purpose for windows
builds.
2004-11-24 Kevin B. Kenny <[email protected]>
* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_THREADS): Corrected bad check for 3-argument
readdir_r [Bug 1001325].
* unix/configure: Regenerated.
* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: Corrected all uses of 'select' to manage their
masks using the FD_CLR, FD_ISSET, FD_SET, and FD_ZERO macros rather
than bit-whacking that failed under Solaris-Sparc-64. [Bug 1071807]
* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): Removed unused vars 'pathc'
and 'pathv' that caused compilation problems on VC++ with
--enable-symbols.
2004-11-24 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_THREADS): Corrected failure to determine the
number of arguments for readdir_r on SunOS systems. [Bug 1071701]
* unix/configure: autoconf-2.57
* generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoVarsCmd): Corrected segfault in new
* tests/info.test (info-19.6): trivial matching branch [Bug 1072654]
2004-11-24 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* tools/man2html.tcl, tools/man2html1.tcl: Update to use Tcl 8.4.
* tools/man2html2.tcl: Fix broken .SS handling.
2004-11-23 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* unix/Makefile.in: Add (commented-out) code to integrate tclConfig.h
into the dependency tree and 'make distclean'. [Bug 1068171]
* generic/tclResult.c (Tcl_AppendResultVA): Remove call to
Tcl_GetStringResult to speed up repeated calls to Tcl_AppendResult
with the side effect that code that wants to access interp->result
should always call Tcl_GetStringResult first. See [Patch 1041072]
discussion for more details.
2004-11-22 Mo DeJong <[email protected]>
* unix/configure: Regen.
* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_TCL_64BIT_FLAGS): Define HAVE_TYPE_OFF64_T only when
off64_t, open64(), and lseek64() are defined. IRIX 5.3 is known to not
include an open64 function. [Bug 1030465]
2004-11-22 Mo DeJong <[email protected]>
* unix/configure: Regen.
* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_THREADS): Check for a 2 argument version of
readdir_r that is known to exists under IRIX 5.3.
* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpReaddir): Use either 2 arg or 3 arg version
of readdir_r. [Bug 1001325]
2004-11-22 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): Purged dead code that used
* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): to extend the "library
path". Search path construction for init.tcl is now done within the
[tclInit] proc.
* generic/tclInterp.c: Restored several directories to the search
* tests/unixInit.test: path used to locate init.tcl within [tclInit].
This change does not restore any directories to the encoding search
path, so should still avoid the price of an unreasonably large number
of filesystem accesses during encoding initialization at startup
[Bug 976438]
2004-11-22 Vince Darley <[email protected]>
* generic/tclPathObj.c: fix and new test for [Bug 1043129] in the
* tests/fileSystem.test: treatment of backslashes in file join on
Windows.
2004-11-21 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* doc/AddErrInfo.3: Typo corrections (Thanks Daniel South).
* doc/interp.n:
2004-11-19 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* doc/AddErrInfo.3: Docs for Tcl_(Get|Set)ReturnOptions. [TIP 227]
* doc/AddErrInfo.3:
* doc/Async.3: Documentation updates to replace references
* doc/BackgdErr.3: to global variable ::errorInfo and ::errorCode
* doc/SaveResult.3: and to the ::bgerror command with references
* doc/after.n: to their preferred replacements, the
* doc/bgerror.n: -errorinfo and -errorcode return options,
* doc/error.n: the Tcl_*InterpState routines, and the
* doc/exec.n: [interp bgerror] command.
* doc/exit.n:
* doc/fileevent.n:
* doc/interp.n:
* doc/return.n:
* doc/tclvars.n:
* doc/update.n:
* tests/unixInit.test: Removed "knownBug" constraints to prompt bug
fixing before 8.5a2 release.
2004-11-19 Daniel Steffen <[email protected]>
* macosx/Makefile:
* unix/configure.in:
* unix/tclUnixInit.c (MacOSXGetLibraryPath): changed detection of tcl
framework build when determining tclLibPath from overloaded
TCL_LIBRARY to configuration define TCL_FRAMEWORK. [Bug 1068088]
* unix/configure: autoconf-2.57
* unix/tclConfig.h.in: autoheader-2.57
2004-11-18 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* doc/SaveResult.3: Documentation for Tcl_*InterpState (TIP 226).
* generic/tclEvent.c (HandleBgErrors): Simplified program flow.
* tests/basic.test: Updated functional (not testing) uses of
* tests/io.test: [bgerror] to make use of [interp bgerror].
* tests/socket.test:
* tests/timer.test:
* tests/interp.test (interp-36.*): [interp bgerror] tests.
* generic/tclInterp.c: Corrected [interp bgerror] error messages.
2004-11-18 Reinhard Max <[email protected]>
* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_MANPAGES): Applied an improved version of
* unix/configure.in: [Patch 996085], that introduces
* unix/Makefile.in: --enable-man-suffix.
* unix/installManPage: added
* unix/mkLinks.tcl: removed
* unix/mkLinks: removed
* unix/configure: generated
* unix/Makefile.in: Don't install tclConfig.h .
2004-11-17 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* unix/configure.in: The change below reveals that the public data
type Tcl_StatBuf relies on config information. For now, disabled the
use of the tclConfig.h file until its full impact on Tcl's interface
can be assessed.
* unix/configure: autoconf-2.57
* generic/tcl.h: Moved the #include "tclConfig.h" out of
* generic/tclInt.h: tcl.h. The config settings are not part of
* generic/tclPort.: the public interface, and having it there
breaks compiled against uninstalled Tcl and extensions using
autoconf-2.5*.
2004-11-16 Jeff Hobbs <[email protected]>
* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtySetOptionProc): fixed crash configuring
-ttycontrol on a channel. [Bug 1067708]
2004-11-16 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclFSEpochOk): There were two code paths via
which the thread copy of filesystemEpoch could be synched with the
master copy, but only one kept the filesystem list cache up to date.
Fix routes everything through a single code path. [Bug 1035775].
2004-11-16 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Stop architecture flags to 'ld' from
getting lost when [load] is disabled. [Bug 1016796]
2004-11-16 Daniel Steffen <[email protected]>
* generic/tcl.h:
* unix/configure.in: changed HAVE_CONFIG_H to HAVE_TCL_CONFIG_H.
* unix/configure: autoconf-2.57
2004-11-15 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* generic/tclInt.h: Added comment warning that the old ERR_IN_PROGRESS
and ERROR_CODE_SET flag values should not be re-used for the sake of
those extensions that have accessed them.
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TraceObjCmd): Fixed Bug 1065378 which failed
* tests/trace.test (trace-33.1): to permit a variable trace
created with [trace variable] to be destroyed with [trace remove].
Thanks to Keith Vetter for the report.
2004-11-15 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* doc/tclvars.n: Added section to documentation on global variables
that are specific to tclsh and wish. [Patch 1065732]
2004-11-12 Jeff Hobbs <[email protected]>
* generic/tclEncoding.c (TableFromUtfProc): correct crash condition
when TCL_UTF_MAX == 6. [Bug 1004065]
2004-11-12 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* doc/interp.n: Basic documentation of the TIP#221 API.
2004-11-12 Don Porter <[email protected]>
TIP #221 IMPLEMENTATION
* generic/tclBasic.c: Define [::tcl::Bgerror] in new interps.
* generic/tclEvent.c: Update Tcl_BackgroundError to make use of the
registered [interp bgerror] command.
* generic/tclInterp.c: New [interp bgerror] subcommand.
* tests/interp.test: syntax tests updated.
TIP #226 IMPLEMENTATION
* generic/tcl.decls: Stubs for Tcl_(Save|Restore|Discard)InterpState
* generic/tcl.h: New public opaque type, Tcl_InterpState.
* generic/tclInt.h: Drop old private declarations. Add

* generic/tclResult.c: Tcl_*InterpState implementations.
* generic/tclDictObj.c: Update callers.
* generic/tclIOGT.c:
* generic/tclTrace.c:
TIP #227 IMPLEMENTATION
* generic/tcl.decls: Stubs for Tcl_(Get|Set)ReturnOptions.
* generic/tclInt.h: Drop old private declarations.
* generic/tclResult.c: Tcl_*ReturnOptions implementations.
* generic/tclCmdAH.c: Update callers.
* generic/tclMain.c:
* generic/tclDecls.h: make genstubs
* generic/tclStubInit.c:
* unix/tclAppInit.c: Removed tclConfig.h #include, now that tcl.h
takes care of it for us.
* generic/tclInt.h: Moved verification of ptrdiff_t typedef from
* generic/tclExecute.c: multiple .c files into one common header where
* generic/tclVar.c: it is verifiably after tclConfig.h inclusion.
2004-11-12 Daniel Steffen <[email protected]>
* generic/tcl.h:
* generic/tclInt.h:
* unix/Makefile.in: include tclConfig.h from tcl.h and install it as a
public header. Normalized compiler include path order to
-I${BUILD_DIR} -I${UNIX_DIR} -I${GENERIC_DIR}.
* unix/dltest/Makefile.in: add ${BUILD_DIR}/.. to include path to pick
up tclConfig.h.
* unix/tclUnixInit.c: moved check for HAVE_CFBUNDLE define after
#include "tclInt.h" to ensure tclConfig.h has been included.
2004-11-12 Reinhard Max <[email protected]>
* unix/config.h.in:
* unix/tclConfig.h.in: renamed
* unix/Makefile.in: Completed support for config header,
* unix/configure.in: fixed building outside of the unix dir,
* unix/tclAppinit.c: and reflected the name change of config.h.
* generic/tclInt.h:
* unix/configure: generated
2004-11-12 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* unix/config.h.in: Allow configure to put all the C #defs into
* unix/configure.in: a file (called config.h) so that Unix builds
* unix/tcl.m4: now take far fewer lines of scrollback to
* unix/Makefile.in: proceed (making it less likely that any errors
* generic/tclInt.h: or warnings will get missed).
* unix/tclAppInit.c: Part of the TIP#34 upgrades.
* unix/tcl.m4, unix/tclUnixPort.h: Check for pthread_attr_get_np in
<pthread.h> before forcing the use of <pthread_np.h> to make things
work on NetBSD 2.0. [Bug 1064882]
* doc/binary.n, doc/upvar.n: More minor fixes.
2004-11-12 Daniel Steffen <[email protected]>
* doc/CrtChannel.3:
* doc/Interp.3:
* doc/Limit.3:
* doc/binary.n:
* doc/dict.n:
* doc/tm.n:
* doc/upvar.n: fixed *roff errors uncovered by running 'make html'.
* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: added faked support for bullet point
lists, i.e. *nroff ".IP \(bu" syntax.
2004-11-11 Daniel Steffen <[email protected]>
* tests/fCmd.test:
* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (TraverseUnixTree): added option to rewind() the
readdir() loop whenever the source hierarchy has been modified by
traverseProc (e.g. by deleting files); this is required to ensure
complete traversal of the source hierarchy on certain filesystems like
HFS+. Added test for failing recursive delete on Mac OS X that was due
to this. [Bug 1034337]
* generic/tclListObj.c (Tcl_ListObjReplace): use memmove() instead of
manual copy loop to shift list elements. Decreases time spent in
Tcl_ListObjReplace() from 5.2% to 1.7% of overall runtime of tclbench
on a ppc 7455 (i.e. 200% speed increase). [Patch 1064243]
* generic/tclHash.c: hoisted some constant pointer dereferences out of
loops to eliminate redundant loads that the gcc optimizer didn't deal
with. Decreases time spend in Tcl_FindHashEntry() by 10% over a full
run of the tcl testuite on a ppc 7455. [Patch 1064243]
* tests/fileName.test:
* tests/fileSystem.test:
* tests/io.test:
* tests/msgcat.test:
* tests/tcltest.test:
* tests/unixInit.test: fixed bugs causing failures when running tests
with -tmpdir arg not set to working dir.
* macosx/Makefile: corrected path to html help inside framework.
Prevent parallel make from building several targets at the same time.
* macosx/tclMacOSXFCmd.c (struct fileinfobuf): force struct to be
packed to prevent failures when builing with -malign=natural.
2004-11-10 Andreas Kupries <[email protected]>
* unix/tclUnixChan.c: [Bug 727786]. Exterminated the code marked
DEPRECATED. This code has not been used in over a year now, and we
have no complaints.
2004-11-08 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>
* win/tclWinPipe.c: The pipe channel driver now respects the -blocking
option when closing is the same way the UNIX side works. This 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.
2004-11-07 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>
* tests/winFile.test: added contraint to winFile-4.0 to prevent it
being run on NT4 [Bug 981829]
2004-11-05 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* tests/reg.test: Major reorganization so that this file is much
easier for a normal Tcl maintainer to comprehend. The test flags are
still very cryptic, but they appear to have to be that way. The number
of skipped tests has increased, but now the skipped tests have much
more meaningful content.
* tests/tm.test (genpaths): Add a [file normalize] so we pick up
Windows drive letters, etc. [Bug 1053568]
2004-11-04 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* changes: Updates toward an 8.5a2 release.
2004-11-03 Kevin B. Kenny <[email protected]>
* library/clock.tcl (FreeScan): Fixed a bug where scanning "Monday"
with a base time other than midnight incorrectly carried the base time
forward.
* test/clock.test (clock-33.{5,5a}): Made the test failure more
informative.
* tests/clock.test (clock-34.{28,44,45,46}): Removed 'knownBug'
constraints from tests that no longer fail.
Thanks to Don Porter for reporting these.
2004-11-03 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>
* generic/tcl.h: Moved the preprocessor logic
* generic/tclDecls.h: from tclInt.h of setting the
* generic/tclInt.h: TCL_STORAGE_CLASS macro to the
* generic/tclIntDecls.h: tcl*Decls.h files now that no
* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: use of EXTERN is left in tclInt.h.
* generic/tclPlatDecls.h: Proto for Tcl_Main moved in tcl.h
* win/tclWinPort.h: to prior the inclusion of the Stubs
headers as they are now resetting TCL_STORAGE_CLASS. Removed
extraineous reset from tclWinPort.h. [Patch 1055668]
* generic/tclCompile.h: Removed extrainious reset of TCL_STORAGE_CLASS
missed in my last edit.
2004-11-03 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* library/init.tcl ([unknown]): Corrections to the 2004-10-25 mods to
Aunt ??? in [unknown]. Flaws revealed by Itcl test suite, which still
apparently relies on this brokenness. Also added comment suggesting
the error message that any code using this hack *ought* to receive in
reply.
* generic/tclTrace.c (TclCallVarTraces): Improved ability to debug
* tests/incr-old.test (incr-old-2.6): errors during variable
* tests/incr.test (incr-{1,2}.28): traces by preserving the
* tests/set.test (set-{2,4}.4): -errorinfo data.
* tests/trace.test (trace-33.1): [Bug 527164]
2004-11-02 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>
* generic/tclInt.h: added a check for #ifdef __cplusplus around the
#define of MODULE_SCOPE. About the only time it would be problem is
when someone is statically linking to Tcl and accessing internals from
a C++ file and has name mangling issues from the lack of "C" after
'extern' [Patch 1055668].
* generic/tclCompile.h: Exchanged use of the EXTERN macro to the new
MODULE_SCOPE macro. Lowered exported internals count by 35. [Patch
1055668]
* win/tclWinInt.h:
* win/tclWinPort.h: exported internals dropped by a count of 14.
* generic/tclFileSystem.h: Added use of MODULE_SCOPE on protos.
* generic/tclRegexp.h: manipulating TCL_STORAGE_CLASS unnecessary.
2004-11-02 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Corrected some misleading
* tests/tcltest.test (tcltest-26.1,2): displays of ::errorInfo and
::errorCode information when the -setup, -body, and/or -cleanup scripts
return an unexpected return code. Thanks to Robert Seeger for the fix.
[RFE 1017151].
2004-11-02 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Improved version of the
NaN fix from Miguel Sofer. [Bug 761471]
2004-11-02 Kevin Kenny <[email protected]>
* library/tzdata/America/Cuiaba: Change to DST rules for
* library/tzdata/America/Havana: autumn of 2004.
[ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2004g.tar.gz]
* tools/tclZIC.tcl: Updated to be compatible with recent changes in
library/clock.tcl.
2004-11-02 Vince Darley <[email protected]>
* win/tclWinFile.c: Simplify TclpUtime to use Tcl_FSGetNativePath, and
add comments.
2004-11-02 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclInt.h: Change uses of EXTERN to MODULE_SCOPE (defined in
this file too to be 'extern' if not overridden) as nothing declared in
tclInt.h is supposed to be visible outside the Tcl core. If there *is*
anything that extensions are actually using, we can open this up later
on. [Patch 1055668]
* doc/CrtChannel.3 (Tcl_GetChannelMode): Add synopsis. [Bug 1058446]
2004-11-01 Kevin B. Kenny <[email protected]>
* win/tclWinFile.c (FromCTime, TclpUtime): Replaced a call to the
Posix 'utime' function with calls to Windows-API equivalents, to avoid
a bug where the VC++ versions misconvert times across a Daylight
Saving Time boundary. [Bug 926106]
* win/tclWinInt.h (TclWinProcs):
* win/tclWin32Dll.c (asciiProcs, unicodeProcs): Removed now-unused
reference to 'utime'.
* tests/cmdAH.test (cmdAH-24.12): Added test case for the above bug.
2004-11-01 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Make INST_EQ and friends
handle NaN correctly in all cases. [Bug 761471]
* generic/tclNamesp.c (NamespaceInscopeCmd): Make the error message
generation the same as in NamespaceEvalCmd().
(Tcl_Import): Rationalized to use Tcl_EvalObjv().
2004-10-31 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* tests/io.test (io-40.3): Convert umask2 test constraint into a form
that most people will be able to satisfy.
* tests/cmdAH.test (cmdAH-8.45): Removed broken test constraint. It
didn't do what it was intended to do, and it implied the other correct
constraint. [Bug 1053908]
* generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoGlobalsCmd):
* tests/info.test (info-8.4): Strip leading global-namespace
specifiers from the pattern argument. [Bug 1057461]
2004-10-30 Kevin Kenny <[email protected]>
* generic/clock.c: Replaced WIN32 macro with __WIN32__. [Bug 1054357].
Thanks to David Gravereaux for the patch.
* win/tclWinFile.c: Removed a long-standing bug that causes incorrect
conversion between file time and UTC time if the file time is recorded
in a different Daylight Saving Time status than the current one. [Bug
926106]
2004-10-29 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Correct reaction to errors in the
obsolete processCmdLineArgsHook. [Bug 1055673]
* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl: Bump to tcltest 2.2.7
* unix/Makefile.in:
* tests/all.tcl: Update to use [tcltest::configure].
2004-10-29 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* library/tm.tcl (::tcl::tm::*): Use the core proc engine to generate
the wrong-num-args error messages for the path ensemble.
Ensembles can now (sometimes) rewrite the error messages of their
subcommands so they appear more like the arguments that the user
passed to the ensemble. Below is a description of changes involved in
doing this.
* tests/namespace.test (namespace-50.*): Tests of ensemble subcommand
error message rewriting.
* generic/tclProc.c (TclObjInterpProc): Make procedures implement
their wrong-num-args message using Tcl_WrongNumArgs instead of
something baked-at-home.
* generic/tclNamesp.c (TclIsEnsemble, NsEnsembleImplementationCmd):
Added test of ensemble-hood (available to rest of core) and made
ensembles set up the rewriting for Tcl_WrongNumArgs to take advantage
of.
* generic/tclInt.h (Interp.ensembleRewrite): Extra fields.
* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_WrongNumArgs): Add knowledge of what is
going on in ensembles' command rewriting so this command can generate
the right error message itself.
* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp, TclEvalObjvInternal): Added
code to initialize (as empty) the rewriting fields and reset them when
we leak outside an ensemble implementation.
2004-10-28 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_START_CMD):
* tests/execute.test (execute-8.3): fix for execution stack corruption
[Bug 1055676]. Credit dgp for detective work and fix.
2004-10-27 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* tests/socket.test (socket-13.1): Balanced [makeFile] and
[removeFile] commands.
* tests/clock.test: Correct duplicate test names.
* tests/namespace.test:
* tests/string.test:
* tests/io.test (io-50.4): Use namespace variables.
2004-10-27 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>
* generic/tclInt.decls: The following 9 functions were moved from
* generic/tclInt.h: tclInt.h to the private/int Stubs table for
* generic/tclIntDecls.h: use by the test suite. As tclTest.obj is
* generic/tclStubInit.c: linked to the shell, these functions need
"blessed" status so as to always be exported from the library. Being
placed in the Stubs table guarantees this [Bug 1054748]:
TclpObjRemoveDirectory, TclpObjCopyDirectory,
TclpObjCreateDirectory, TclpObjDeleteFile,
TclpObjCopyFile, TclpObjRenameFile,
TclpObjStat, TclpObjAccess,
TclpOpenFileChannel
* tests/registry.test: Fixed test files to load the correct
* tests/winDde.test: registry and dde packages by using the info
* win/Makefile.in: from makefiles to tell tcltest where to load
* win/makefile.vc: them from. This avoids grabbing the wrong
package from $auto_path which might be the install point rather than
the dev location. Kudos to Jennifer Hom for adding -load and
-loadfile to the tcltest package. [Bug 926088]
* win/tclWinThrd.c (TclFinalizeLock): release the critical section
before deleting it. [Bug 731778]
* generic/tcl.h: Removed the file level 'extern "C" {' and the
coresponding closing block as it serves no purpose given that all the
function prototypes have the proper extern usage already.
* unix/tclAppInit.c: When built as tcltest, TclThread_Init was
* win/tclAppInit.c: getting called twice. First by Tcltest_Init,
then again in Tcl_AppInit. The call from Tcl_AppInit is now removed.
2004-10-27 Andreas Kupries <[email protected]>
* tests/tm.test: Expanded on the testsuite entered by Donal.
* library/tm.tcl: Even found bugs, these have been corrected.
2004-10-26 Kevin Kenny <[email protected]>
* tests/format.test (format-19.1): Additional regression test for [Bug
868489].
2004-10-27 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* doc/*.n: Many small general documentation fixes.
2004-10-26 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>
* generic/tclPipe.c (TclCleanupChildren): bad cast of resolvedPid
caused PIDs on win95 to go negative. winpipe-4.2 brought this to the
surface. Fixed with sprintf in place of TclFormatInt. Thanks to hgiese
[Patch 767676]
2004-10-26 Andreas Kupries <[email protected]>
* library/tm.tcl (::tcl::tm::Defaults): Added a second [file dirname]
around the location of the executable. This fixes [Bug 1038705].
Instable of a bogus "foo/bin/lib" we now have the correct "foo/lib" as
a base path for modules.
2004-10-26 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_SubstObj): Fix for failed subst-12.3 test
* tests/subst.test (subst-12.3-5): More tests for Bug 1036649.
* unix/Makefile.in (install-libraries): Updated the installation of
the http, msgcat, and tcltest packages to install as Tcl Modules on
Unix systems. Other platform Makefiles still need updating. [Patch
1054370]
* tests/basic.test: Added missing constraints.
* tests/compile.test:
* tests/fileSystem.test:
* tests/init.test (init-2.8): Updated to not rely on http package.
2004-10-26 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclInt.h:
* generic/tclVar.c: removed more direct references to the VAR flags,
replaced with access macros.
2004-10-26 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* doc/expr.n: Clarified that non-num/non-bool literals require
quoting. [Bug 1027849]. Also listed booleans as acceptable values.
2004-10-26 Kevin B. Kenny <[email protected]>
* library/clock.tcl (FreeScan): Fixed a bug that caused relative days
of the week in free-form [clock scan] to be evaluated in the wrong
time zone.
* tests/clock.test (clock-31.[456]): Made sure that there isn't an
env(TZ) or env(TCL_TZ) lying around that will override the time zone
that we're trying to establish with the simulated registry.
Both problems reported as [Bug 1054101].
2004-10-25 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* doc/string.n (map): Rewrote to clarify that we don't just map single
characters. [Bug 1048005]
* doc/info.n (procs): Clarified that the pattern argument may have
namespace separators in it. [Bug 1047928]
* tests/cmdAH.test (cmdAH-8.45): Simplify in the hope that the reasons
for [Bug 1053908] will become clearer.
2004-10-25 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* generic/tclExecute.c (IllegalExprOperandType,TclExecuteByteCode):
Removed several DECACHE_INFO/CACHE_INFO pairs that are no longer
needed for protection because routines like Tcl_SetErrorCode() and
Tcl_AddErrorInfo() can no longer re-enter bytecode execution.
* generic/tclResult.c (TclProcessReturn): Bug fix. Be sure that a
missing -errorinfo option when code == TCL_ERROR causes the errorInfo
field to get reset.
* tests/thread.test (thread-4.4): Test depended on a ::errorInfo value
initialized to "". Added code to test to setup that requirement.
* library/auto.tcl: Purged Tcl's script library of all
* library/clock.tcl: remaining references to global vars
* library/init.tcl: ::errorInfo and ::errorCode.
* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main): Updated to make use of
TclGetReturnOptions instead of ::errorInfo variable.
* generic/tclInterp.c (tclInit): Bug fix. Access dict variables with
[dict get], not array syntax.
2004-10-25 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* tests/tm.test: Rewrote the tests to actually perform syntax checks
on the public API. Added a new test (currently failing) to indicate
that the test suite is not complete yet.
* library/tm.tcl (path): Rewrote to turn this command into an ensemble
to make it faster and simpler.
2004-10-24 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclCmdIL.c:
* generic/tclExecute.c:
* generic/tclInt.h:
* generic/tclTrace.c: defined new macros to get/set the flags of
variables. The only files that still access the flag values directly
are tclCompCmds.c, tclCompile.c, tclProc.c and tclVar.c
2004-10-24 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_LogCommandInfo,Tcl_AddObjErrorInfo): Shift
the initialization of errorCode to NONE to more central location.
* generic/tclEvent.c (BgError,Tcl_BackgroundError,HandleBgErrors):
Rewrite to build on the new TclGet/SetReturnOptions routines.
* generic/tclResult.c (TclGetReturnOptions): Add call to
Tcl_AddObjErrorInfo to be sure error fields are initialized.
* generic/tclResult.c (TclTransferResult): Rewrite to build on the new
TclGet/SetReturnOptions routines.
2004-10-22 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* doc/tm.n: Tightened up the documentation.
* tests/tm.test: Created (with partially dummy content) so TIP#189 can
be marked Final.
* generic/tclNamesp.c (NsEnsembleImplementationCmd): Make ensembles
cut their implementations out of error traces. This is the right thing
to do more often than not.
2004-10-22 Kevin B. Kenny <[email protected]>
* library/clock.tcl: Fixed a typo where the fallback time zone became
::localtime instead of :localtime. Fixed a bug where time zone names
containing hyphens could not be loaded.
* tests/clock.test: Added regression test cases that covers both bugs.
Thanks to Todd M. Helfter <[email protected]> for finding
these bugs.
2004-10-22 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclExecute.c (TclCompEvalObj, Tcl_ExprObj):
* generic/tclProc.c (TclProcCompileProc): Always call object
freeIntRepProc's in the same way.
2004-10-22 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclVar.c: fixed bug in commit of 2004-07-23, which was
causing a leak of Proc structures and failure of compile-12.1. Two
lines were 'zombies' from the previous way localVarNames worked.
Credit dgp for finding this.
2004-10-21 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* generic/tclInt.h (Interp):
* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp,Tcl_DeleteInterp):
* generic/tclResult.c (GetKeys,ReleaseKeys,etc.): Moved the key values
of the return options dictionary out of private fields of the Interp
struct and into thread-static values managed in tclResult.c.
* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_CatchObjCmd, Tcl_ErrorObjCmd): Updated to
call the new TclGet/SetReturnOptions routines to do much of their
work.
* generic/tclInt.h (TclGetReturnOptions,TclSetReturnOptions):
* generic/tclResult.c (TclGetReturnOptions,TclSetReturnOptions): New
utility routines to get/set the return options of an interp. Intent is
that these routines will be converted to public routines after TIP
approval.
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclProcessReturn,TclMergeReturnOptions):
* generic/tclResult.c (TclProcessReturn,TclMergeReturnOptions): Move
internal utility routines from tclCmdMZ.c to tclResult.c.
* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp, Tcl_DeleteInterp):
* generic/tclResult.c (TclTransferResult): Rework so that
iPtr->returnOpts can be NULL when there are no special options.
* generic/tclResult.c (TclRestoreInterpState): Plug potential memory
leak.
2004-10-21 Kevin B. Kenny <[email protected]>
* generic/tclBasic.c: Various changes to [clock format] that,
* generic/tclClock.c: together, make it roughly twice as fast
* generic/tclInt.h: while all tests in the test suite
* library/clock.tcl: continue to pass.
2004-10-20 Andreas Kupries <[email protected]>
* win/Makefile.in (install-msgs): Fixed a problem with the
* win/Makefile.in (install-tzdata): installation of timezone data and
message catalogs. They used the installed tcl library directory, not
the source library. Before it was installed. Switched to source lib
dir. Thanks to Kevin for the help in figuring this out.
2004-10-20 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* generic/tclThreadTest.c (ThreadEventProc): Corrected subtle bug
where the returned (char *) from Tcl_GetStringResult(interp) continued
to be used without copying or refcounting, while activity on the
interp continued. That's not safe, and recent changes demonstrated the
lack of safety with failing tests thread-4.3 and thread-4.5.
2004-10-19 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictWithCmd): Make sure all paths (that are
not themselves error paths) do not lose the result code.
2004-10-19 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* generic/tclInt.h (Tcl*InterpState): New internal routines
* generic/tclResult.c (Tcl*InterpState): TclSaveInterpState,
TclRestoreInterpState, and TclDiscardInterpState are superior
replacements for Tcl_(Save|Restore|Discard)Result. Intent is that
these routines will be converted to public routines after TIP
approval. Interfaces for these routines were shamelessly stolen from
Itcl.
* generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalObjvInternal):
* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictUpdateCmd, DictWithCmd):
* generic/tclIOGT.c (ExecuteCallback):
* generic/tclTrace.c (Trace*Proc,TclCheck*Traces,TclCallVarTraces):
Callers of Tcl_*Result updated to call the new routines. The calls
were relocated in several cases to perform save/restore operations
only when needed.
* generic/tclEvent.c (HandleBgErrors):
* generic/tclFCmd.c (CopyRenameOneFile): Calls to Tcl_*Result that
were eliminated because they appeared to serve no useful purpose,
typically saving/restoring an error message, only to throw it away.
2004-10-18 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp,Tcl_DeleteInterp):
* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_CatchObjCmd):
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclMergeReturnOptions,TclProcessReturn):
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileReturnCmd):
* generic/tclExecute.c (TclCompEvalObj):
* generic/tclInt.h (Interp):
* generic/tclProc.c (TclUpdateReturnInfo): Place primary storage of
the -level and -code information in private fields of the Interp
struct, rather than in a DictObj. This should significantly improve
performance of TclUpdateReturnInfo.
2004-10-17 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclResult.c: removed unused variable [Bug 1048588]. Thanks
to Daniel South.

as the primary storage. The ERR_IN_PROGRESS flag bit value is no

***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
Code that sets traces on the ::errorInfo variable may notice a
difference in timing of the firing of those traces. Code that uses the
value ERR_IN_PROGRESS.

TIP#217 IMPLEMENTATION
* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd): Add -indices option from James
Salsman. [Patch 1017532]
* generic/tclUtil.c (TclMatchIsTrivial): Detect degenerate cases of
glob matching that let us avoid scanning through hash tables.
* generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoCommandsCmd, InfoGlobalsCmd, InfoProcsCmd):
(InfoVarsCmd): Use this to speed up some [info] subcommands.

TIP#201 AND TIP#212 IMPLEMENTATIONS
* doc/dict.n, doc/expr.n: Documentation for new functionality.
* tests/expr.test: Basic tests of 'in' and 'ni' behaviour.
* tests/dict.test (dict-21.*,dict-22.*): Tests for [dict update] and
[dict with].
* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Implementation of the
INST_LIST_IN and INST_LIST_NOT_IN bytecodes.
* generic/tclParseExpr.c (GetLexeme): Parse the 'in' and 'ni'
operators for TIP#201.
* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictUpdateCmd,DictWithCmd): Core of
implementation of TIP#212; docs and tests still to do...
2004-10-07 Don Porter <[email protected]>

* tests/fileName.test:
* tests/winFCmd.test: code reorganization for better generic/platform
code splitting [Bug 925620] removing the need for several #ifdef's,
and tests and fix for an unreported Windows glob problem ('glob -dir
C: -tails *').
2004-10-07 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* *.3: Convert CONST to const and VOID to void so we document how
people should actually use the Tcl API and not the compatability hacks
that it has to have.
* doc/man.macros, *.3: Update .AS macro so it can know how wide to
make the third column of the argument list. Update documentation for C
API (only users) to take advantage of this.
* doc/FileSystem.3: Formatting fixes for greater documentation
clarity.
2004-10-06 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclFileName.c (DoGlob, TclGlob): Stop messy sharing of
interpreter result and instead use a private object for collecting the
result of the glob. This simplifies TclGlob quite a lot.
* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSMatchInDirectory): Simplify by removing
some nesting. Also standardize variable names.
(FsAddMountsToGlobResult): Force updates to the list to be done
in-place, putting a side-condition of non-shared-ness on the resultPtr
argument to Tcl_FSMatchInDirectory, but everything would have broken
before if that was shared *anyway*.
* generic/tclEncoding.c (LoadTableEncoding): Removed reference to Tcl
interpreter; it wasn't needed as direct object use is more efficient.
* generic/tclPathObj.c: Made this file follow the style rules in the
Engineering Manual more closely, and also take advantage of the
internal object manipulation macros more.
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SwitchObjCmd): Reorganized to have fewer
magic flag variables and to separate the code that scans for a match
from the code that processes a match body.

It is a poor practice to directly set or append to the value of the

that circumstance a Tcl_Panic() will be the result. Searched for
example of this practice and replaced with safer alternatives, often
using the Tcl_AppendResult() routine that dkf just rehabilitated.

Reworked management of the "errorCode" data of an interp. That

of the Interp struct, rather than using a global variable ::errorCode
as the primary storage. The ERROR_CODE_SET flag bit value is no longer
required to manage the value in its new location, and is removed.
Variable traces are established to support compatibility for any code
expecting the ::errorCode variable to hold the information.
***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
Code that sets traces on the ::errorCode variable may notice a
difference in timing of the firing of those traces.
* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_PopCallFrame): Removed Bug 1038021
workaround. That bug is now fixed.
2004-10-04 Kevin B. Kenny <[email protected]>
* tests/clock.test (clock-34.*): Removed an antibug that forced
comparison of [clock scan] results with the :localtime time zone. Now
that [clock scan] uses the current time zone instead, the antibug
caused several tests to fail. [Bug 1038554]
2004-10-04 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclParseExpr.c (GetLexeme): Ensure that the 'eq' and 'ne'
operators are followed by non-alphabetic characters so lexemes can't
run together. [Bug 884830]
* doc/DictObj.3, doc/dict.n: Clarified that a dictionary is not
order-preserving. [Bug 1032243] Also added another example to show off
more ways of using a dictionary and a few other formatting
improvements.
2004-10-02 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclDictObj.c (TraceDictPath, Tcl_DictObjPutKeyList): Add
support for automatic creation of dictionary paths since that is what
everyone seems to actually expect of the API! [Bug 1037235]
(Tcl_DictObjNext): Make calling this after Tcl_DictObjDone non-fatal
as that simplifies a number of internal APIs. This doesn't break any
existing working code as it is a case which previously caused a panic.

* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp):
* generic/tclInt.h (Interp): Removed the flag bit value
EXPR_INITIALIZED. It was set during interp creation and never tested.
Whatever purpose it had is in the past.
* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalObjEx): Removed the flag bit value
* generic/tclInt.h (Interp): USE_EVAL_DIRECT. It was used
* generic/tcLTest.c (TestevalexObjCmd): only in the testing command
* tests/parser.test (parse-9.2): [testevalex] and nothing in
the test suite made use of the capability it enabled.

* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_ErrorObjCmd): of the management of
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclProcessReturn): the errorCode value.
* tests/error.test (error-6.4-9):
* generic/tclNamespace.c (TclTeardownNamespace): Tcl_Obj-ified
* tests/namespace.test (namespace-8.5,6): the save/restore of
::errorInfo and ::errorCode during global namespace teardown. Revised
the comment to clarify why this is done, and added tests that will
fail if this is not done.
* generic/tclResult.c (TclTransferResult): Added safety checks so that
unexpected undefined ::errorInfo or ::errorCode will not lead to a
segfault.
* generic/tclTrace.c (TclCallVarTraces): Save/restore the flag values
* tests/var.test (var-16.1): that define part of the
interpreter state during variable traces. [Bug 1038021].

2004-09-27 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* generic/tclBasic.c: Removed internal routines TclInvoke,
* generic/tclInt.decls: TclGlobalInvoke, TclObjInvokeGlobal and the
* tests/basic.test: portion of TclObjInvoke that handles calls
without TCL_INVOKE_HIDDEN enabled. None of this code is called any

Continued refactoring of [clock] for TIP 173 changes. Broke the
free-form parser apart so that the Bison parser is responsible for
only parsing, while clock.tcl handles relative times like "next
Thursday", "next January". This change is needed to make timezones
other than :localtime and :Etc/UTC work with free-form scanning. This
change closes out the issue identified as being "for another day" in
my log message of 2004-09-08. The refactored code also eliminates the
last known references to TclpStrftime and TclGetDate, so those
routines (including compat/strftime.c) have been removed. The
refactoring also has the benefit that all storage in the Bison parser
is now on the C stack, eliminating any need for mutex protection
around [clock scan]. Also, changed the Makefiles so that 'make
gendate' is available on Windows as well as Unix.
* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FormatObjCmd): Removed some grubby
* generic/tclObj.c (SetBooleanFromAny): work-around code that was
needed only because of Bug 868489.

* generic/tclBasic.c: Corrections to the 2004-09-21 commit
* generic/tclExecute.c: regarding ERR_ALREADY_LOGGED. That commit
* generic/tclNamesp.c: caused Tk test send-10.7 to fail. Added
* tests/namespace.test (25.7,8): tests in the Tcl test suite
* tests/pkg.test (2.25,26): to catch this error without the aid
of Tk in the future.
* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_ExprObjCmd): Simplified the TclObjCmdProc
of [expr] with a call to Tcl_ConcatObj.
2004-09-22 Don Porter <[email protected]>

2004-09-21 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* generic/tclCompCmds.c: Tolerate [append] syntax errors
* tests/appendComp.test (8.1): at compile time, and allow runtime to
raise the error (or succeed if a redefined [append] allows).
* generic/tclBasic.c: Reworked management of the interp flag
* generic/tclCompile.c: ERR_ALREADY_LOGGED, to reduce its exposure.
* generic/tclExecute.c: Still left several referebces that are just
* generic/tclNamesp.c: too nice on performace to do away with. These
changes also resolve an inconsistency in the ::errorInfo values
produced by [namespace eval x error foo bar] and [namespace eval x
{error foo bar}].
* generic/tclExecute.c (TclCompEvalObj): Simplified the
TclCompEvalObj routine. Much housekeeping now reliably happens
elsewhere. [Patch 1031949]
2004-09-21 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>

invokehidden] operate w.r.t. stack frames. [Bug 926590]
2004-09-20 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* tests/error.test (error-6.2,3): Added more tests to verify
::errorCode setting by/after a [catch].

* generic/tclCmdAH.c: removed outdated comment [Bug 1029518].
2004-09-18 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>
* win/tclAppInit.c: Dde package can load into a safe interp. Claim
this fact for the Tcl_StaticPackage() call when the shell is built
with the TCL_USE_STATIC_PACKAGES option.

* generic/tclResult.c (Tcl_SetErrorCodeVA, Tcl_SetObjErrorCode)
(TclTransferResult): Refactored so that all errorCode setting flows
through Tcl_SetObjErrorCode(). This greatly reduces the number of
different places in the code that need to know details about an
internal bitflag field of the Interp struct. Also places errorCode
setting in one place for easier future mods.
2004-09-17 Kevin B.Kenny <[email protected]>
* generic/tclDate.c: Revised tclGetDate.y to use bison instead of
* generic/tclGetDate.y: yacc to build the parser, eliminating all the
* generic/tclInt.h: complicated hackery involving 'sed'
* unix/Makefile.in: postprocessing. Rebuilt the parser.
2004-09-14 Kevin B. Kenny <[email protected]>
* generic/tclClock.c (ClockOldscanObjCmd): Silenced a compiler warning
(long passed as a param where unsigend long was expected). 'Unsigned
long' is wrong, but the fix is really to change the signature of
TclGetDate to return a structure of its 'yy' variables and then do the
remaining work inside clock.tcl. But, as I said on 2004-09-08, that's
a job for another day. [Bug 1027993]

2004-09-13 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclNamesp.c (NsEnsembleImplementationCmd): Add token field
to internal rep of EnsembleCmdRep structure so that we can check it to
see if the subcommand object is really being used with the same
ensemble. [Bug 1026903]
2004-09-11 Kevin B. Kenny <[email protected]>
* generic/tclClock.c (TclMktimeObjCmd): Corrected a bad check for

* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetIntFromObj): Corrected a problem where
demoting a wide to an int failed on a big-endian machine. [Bug
1026125].
* tests/clock.test (clock-43.1): Added regression test for error
return from 'mktime'.
2004-09-11 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_CONCAT1): fix for [Bug 1025834]; avoid
unnecessary string copies.
2004-09-10 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>
* tests/tcltest.test: tcltest-12.3-4 needed to have
::tcltest::loadScript set to empty in their -setup
2004-09-10 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclObj.c (SetIntOrWideFromAny): Rewritten integral value
parsing code so that values do not flip so easily between numeric
representations. Thanks to KBK for this! [Bug 868489]
* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Seek): Make sure wide seeks do not fail to set
::errorCode on error. [Bug 1025359]
2004-09-10 Andreas Kupries <[email protected]>
* generic/tcl.h: Micro formatting fixes.
* generic/tclIOGT.c: Channel version fixed, must be 3, to have
wideseekProc. Thanks to David Graveraux <[email protected]>.
2004-09-11 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* generic/tclNamespace.c (TclGetNamespaceForQualName): Resolved
longstanding inconsistency in the treatment of the TCL_NAMESPACE_ONLY
flag revealed by testing the 2004-09-09 commits against Itcl.
TCL_NAMESPACE_ONLY now acts as specified in the pre-function comment,
forcing resolution in the passed in context namespace. It has been
incorrectly forcing resolution in the interp's current namespace.
2004-09-10 Kevin Kenny <[email protected]>
* library/clock.tcl: Fixed a bug where %z always put a plus sign on
the time zone in :localtime.
* tests/clock.test: Added test case for the above bug.
2004-09-10 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* 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 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>
* win/tclWinConsole.c: Calls to WriteFile and WriteConsoleA changed to
WriteConsole for simplicity.
2004-09-09 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_ForgetImport): Corrected faulty
* tests/namespace.test: logic that 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 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): Removed obsolete field
for storing the string-based command procedure of built-in commands.
We no longer have any string-based built-in commands!
2004-09-08 Kevin B. Kenny <[email protected]>
* compat/strftime.c (_conv): Corrected a problem where hour 0 would
format as a blank format group with %k.
* doc/clock.n: Corrected a buglet in the header information. [Bug
1024058]
* generic/tclClock.c (TclClockMktimeObjCmd): Fixed a bug where the
month was scanned incorrectly in -timezone :localtime.
* tests/clock.test (clock-34.*,clock-40.1, clock-41.1): Adjusted the
clock-34.* test cases so that the consistency check is performed in
:localtime rather than the current time zone. This change allows
dealing with issues where the C library has a different idea of DST
conversion than Tcl. (Real fix would be to break TclGetDate into
separate parser and time converter, and do the time conversion in
clock.tcl. That's for another day.) Added regression test case for the
bug where month was scanned incorrectly in -timezone :localtime. [Bug
1023779] Added regression test case for %k at the zero hour.

Implementation of TIPs #173 and #209.
The [clock] command is now a Tcl ensemble, with most of its
functionality written in Tcl and callouts to C code only to access
low-level functions such as localtime, mktime and tzset.
In addition to the functionality changes called out in the two TIPs,
it is worth noting that the [clock] command in a safe slave
interpreter is now an alias to the [clock] command in the master, and
that [clock] is otherwise not expected to function entirely correctly
in safe interps. C code that simply does Tcl_MakeSafe needs to be
aware that [clock] may need special handling. (It appears unlikely
that such code actually exists.)
One incompatibility of note is that if the time zone cannot be
determined from the TZ, TCL_TZ environment variables, or from the
Windows control panel, so that the C library must be used for date and
time conversions, then times outside the range of time_t will fail;
they used to return bad data silently.

debugging, criticism of the specification, and localisation. Deserving
of particular mention are Joe English, Clif Flynt, Donal K. Fellows,
Jeff Hobbs, Cameron Laird, Arjen Markus, Reinhard Max, Christopher

with vfs [Bug 991420].
* tests/fileSystem.test: added test for above bug.
* doc/FileSystem.3: clarified documentation of posix error codes in

directory error (bug reported against tclvfs).
2004-07-16 Jeff Hobbs <[email protected]>
* unix/Makefile.in, unix/tcl.m4: move (C|LD)FLAGS after their

2004-07-16 Andreas Kupries <[email protected]>
* 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
proc of a Tcl_CreateCommand are in utf8 since Tcl 8.1. Closing [Patch

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

* 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 [SF Tcl 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 <[email protected]>
* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_PutsObjCmd): Added length check to the old
depreceated newline syntax, to ensure that only "nonewline" is
accepted. [Tcl SF Bug 985869], reported by Joe Mistachkin
<[email protected]>.
2004-07-15 Zoran Vasiljevic <[email protected]>
* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): stuffed memory leak incurred by
re-initializing of TSD slots after the last call to
TclFinalizeThreadData (done from within Tcl_FinalizeThread()). We
basically just repeat the TclFinalizeThreadData() once more before
tearing down TSD keys in TclFinalizeSynchronization(). There should be
more elaborate mechanism in place for handling such issues, based on
thread cleanup handlers registered on the OS level. Such change
requires much more work and would also require TIP because some
visible parts of Tcl API would have to be modified. In the meantime,
this will do.
* generic/tclNotify.c (TclFinalizeNotifier): Added conditional
notifier finalization based on the fact that an TclInitNotifier has
been called for the current thread. This fixes the [Bug 770053] again.
Hopefully this time w/o unwanted side-effects.
2004-07-15 Kevin Kenny <[email protected]>
* generic/tclLiteral.c (TclReleaseLiteral): Removed unused variable
'codePtr' to silence a message from VC++.
2004-07-15 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript):
* generic/tclLiteral.c (TclReleaseLiteral): fix for [Bug 467523],
which resurfaced with the latest changes. The previous strategy was to
have special code in TclReleaseLiteral to handle the self-references
generated by empty scripts. The new approach avoids the self-reference
altogether, by having empty scripts return an unshared literal.
2004-07-15 Zoran Vasiljevic <[email protected]>

to work out how to add tests for this.
2004-07-10 Kevin Kenny <[email protected]>
* tests/clock.test (clock-2.11): Changed the test so that it isn't an
infinite loop when run under valgrind on a slow virtual machine.
Thanks to Miguel Sofer for the bug report. Also put in code to restore
env(LC_TIME) after tests complete, silencing a warning from 'make
TESTFLAGS="-debug 1" test'.
2004-07-08 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclBasic.c (DeleteInterpProc): reverted the modification of
3 days ago, as the leak of [Bug 983660] is now handled by the change
in TclCleanupByteCode.
* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCleanupByteCode): let each bytecode remove
its references to literals at interp deletion, without updating the
dying literal table.
* generic/tclLiteral.c (TclDeleteLiteralTable): with the above change
to TclCleanupByteCode, this function now removes a single reference to
the literal object and cleans up its own structures.
2004-07-08 Kevin Kenny <[email protected]>
* win/tclWinInit.c (AppendEnvironment): Silenced a compilation warning
about a type mismatch.
2004-07-07 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>

2004-07-03 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclCompile.h:
* generic/tclInt.decls:
* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
* generic/tclStubInit.c: Moved declaration of TclCompEvalObj() from
tclCompile.h to the internal stubs table, for compiler
experimentation.
2004-07-02 Jeff Hobbs <[email protected]>
* generic/regcomp.c (stid): correct minor pointer size error
* generic/tclPipe.c (TclCreatePipeline): applied TIP #202 patch that
* doc/exec.n, tests/exec.test: adds 2>@1 as a special case
redirection of stderr to the result output.
2004-07-02 Kevin B. Kenny <[email protected]>
* tests/io.test: Changed several tests to run the event loop rather
than just calling [update] periodically, avoiding intermittent
failures (usually in io-29.32) that stemmed from unreaped processes on
Windows.
* tests/winPipe.test (winpipe-1.11): Fixed a bug that caused test to
fail if the path name of the working directory contained whitespace
[Bug 678430]
2004-07-01 Vince Darley <[email protected]>
* tests/fileSystem.test: Added test for [Bug 970529]
2004-07-01 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* win/README.binary, win/README: Updated references to Tcl and Tk 8.4
to point to 8.5 instead. Thanks to Theo Verelst for spotting this.
* generic/tcl.h: Added note to help prevent those changes from getting
missed in the future.
* doc/Namespace.3, doc/load.n, doc/Limit.3: Typo fixes and remove
duplicate documentation. [Bug 983146]
2004-06-30 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* tests/fileSystem.test: Minor correction to new fileSystem-9.X tests
so that they clean up temporary directories correctly.
2004-06-30 Vince Darley <[email protected]>
* doc/filename.n: clarified behaviour concerning trailing slashes in
filenames [Bug 971976]
* win/tclWinFile.c:
* tests/fileSystem.test: fix and tests for [Bug 979879]
2004-06-30 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
TIP#188 IMPLEMENTATION
* doc/string.n, tests/string.test: Add 'wideinteger' to things
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): that can be tested for with
the [string is] subcommand. [Patch 940915, by Kevin Kenny]
2004-06-29 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* win/tclWinInit.c: Corrected reference counting flaw in recent
changes. Thanks to Pat Thoyts. [Bug 981893].
2004-06-29 Vince Darley <[email protected]>
* win/tclWin32Dll.c: fix to compilation with VC++ 5.2
2004-06-29 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* library/safe.tcl: Make sure that the temporary variable is local to
the namespace and not inadvertently global. [Bug 981733]
2004-06-24 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* tests/unixNotfy.test: Modified constraints so that testing with a
threaded tclsh (not tcltest) will not hang.
2004-06-23 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* generic/tclThreadStorage.c: Corrected type casting errors that led
to calculation of a negative index value, thus accesses outside the
threadStorageCache array, thus memory corruption. Crash observed on
Mac OS X platform.
2004-06-23 Joe Mistachkin <[email protected]>
* generic/tclThread.c: Implements platform independent thread storage
* generic/tclThreadStorage.c: mechanism and fixes associated bugs on
platforms where there is limited thread local storage space
(Win98/WinNT4). [Patch 976496]
* generic/tclInt.decls:
* generic/tclIntDecls.h: Added thread storage functions to the
* generic/tclStubInit.c: internal stubs table.
* unix/Makefile.in:
* unix/configure:
* unix/tcl.m4:
* win/makefile.vc:
* win/rules.vc:
* win/Makefile.in: Modified the unix, VC++, and Cygwin build systems
* win/configure: to include the new "tclThreadStorage.c" and the new
* win/tcl.m4: USE_THREAD_STORAGE define.
2004-06-23 Pat Thoyts <[email protected]>
* tests/io.test: Added -force to 18.1 and 18.2. This was failing on
WinXP.
* tests/winFCmd.test: Added a cleanup to winFCmd-16.11 to avoid a
failure in 16.12.
* tests/eofchar.data: Added -kb option to ensure a binary checkout to
win32 systems. This fixes a failure in io-61.1
* win/makefile.vc: fix for [Bug 977369] about launching tclsh to
generate a tclConfig.sh with the nmake build system
2004-06-23 Kevin B. Kenny <[email protected]>
* tests/winDde.test (createChildProcess): Added a 200-ms delay (with
the event loop live) when shutting down the test DDE server process.
With the delay in place, nuisance failures of tests winDde-4.2, -6.5,
and -6.6 appear to be much less frequent. [Bug 957449]
2004-06-23 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* tests/*.test: Standardize use of platform constraints.
* unix/tclUnixInit.c (GetStackSize, TclpCheckStackSpace):
* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpThreadGetStackSize): Added code to check
whether the C stack is about to be exceeded, from [Patch 746378] by
Joe Mistachkin but with substantial revisions.
2004-06-22 Kevin Kenny <[email protected]>
* generic/tclEvent.c (NewThreadProc): Fixed broken build on Windows
caused by missing TCL_THREAD_CREATE_RETURN.
* tests/stack.test (stack-3.1): Corrected nuisance error in threaded
builds.
2004-06-22 Zoran Vasiljevic <[email protected]>
* generic/tclEvent.c:
* generic/tclInt.h:
* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c:
* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:
* win/tclWinThrd.c: [Bug 770053]. See bug report for more information
about what it does.
* 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 <[email protected]>
* win/tclWin32Dll.c (DllMain, _except_dllmain_detach_handler)
(TclpCheckStackSpace, _except_checkstackspace_handler)
(TclWinCPUID, _except_TclWinCPUID_detach_handler):
* win/tclWinChan.c (Tcl_MakeFileChannel)
(_except_makefilechannel_handler):
* win/tclWinFCmd.c (DoRenameFile, _except_dorenamefile_handler)
(DoCopyFile, _except_docopyfile_handler):
Rework pushing of exception handler function pointer so that compiling
with gcc -O3 works. Remove empty function call to avoid compiler
warning. Mark the DllMain function as noinline to avoid compiler error
from duplicated asm labels in generated code.
2004-06-21 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (Ptr2Block): Rewrote so as to maximize the
chance of detecting and reporting a memory inconsistency without
relying on things being consistent. [Bug 975895]
2004-06-18 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* tests/load.test: Relaxed strictness of error message matching
for test load-2.3 so that it will pass on Mac OSX.
* generic/tclEncoding.c: Static TclFindEncodings -> FindEncodings.
* generic/tclInt.h: Updated TclpFindExecutable() so that failed
* generic/tclUtil.c: attempts to find the executable are saved
* unix/tclUnixFile.c: just as successful finds are. [Patch 966053]
* unix/tclUnixTest.c:
2004-06-18 Kevin B. Kenny <[email protected]>
* tests/winFCmd.test (winFCmd-16.12): Changed test to compute the
target directory, so as not to fail if the user's HOME isn't the root.
2004-06-19 Daniel Steffen <[email protected]>
* unix/tcl.m4: autoconf 2.5 fixes in Darwin section.
* unix/configure: autoconf-2.57
2004-06-18 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* unix/tclUnixInit.c (localeTable): Added some more locale to encoding
mapping info from Jim Huang <[email protected]>
* generic/tclInt.h (PendingObjData,TclFreeObjMacro,etc):
* generic/tclObj.c (TclFreeObj): Added scheme for making TclFreeObj()
avoid blowing up the C stack when freeing up very large object trees.
[Bug 886231]
* win/tclWinInit.c (SetDefaultLibraryDir): Fix logic, simplify and add
comments.
2004-06-17 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* generic/tclObj.c: Added missing space in panic message.
* win/tclWinInit.c: Inform [tclInit] about the default library
directory via the ::tclDefaultLibrary variable. This should correct a
problem with my 2004-06-11 commit. Better solutions still in the
works. Thanks to Joe Mistachkin for pointing out the breakage.
2004-06-16 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* doc/library.n: Moved variables ::auto_oldpath and
* library/auto.tcl: ::unknown_pending into ::tcl namespace.
* library/init.tcl: [Bugs 808319, 948794]
2004-06-15 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* doc/binary.n: Added some notes to the documentation of the 'a'
format to address the point raised in [RFE 768852].
2004-06-15 Jeff Hobbs <[email protected]>
* unix/tclConfig.sh.in (TCL_EXTRA_CFLAGS): set to @CFLAGS@, which is
the configure-time CFLAGS. Addendum to m4 change on 2004-05-26.
2004-06-14 Kevin Kenny <[email protected]>
* win/Makefile.in: Corrected compilation flags for tclPkgConfig.c so
that it doesn't require Stubs.
* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): Removed comment stating that
TclInitEmbeddedConfigurationInformation needs Stubs; with the change
above, the comment is now erroneous.
2004-06-11 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* doc/Encoding.3: Removed bogus claims about tcl_libPath.
* generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_Init): Stopped setting the
tcl_libPath variable. [tclInit] can get all its directories without it.
* tests/unixInit.test: Modified test code that made use of
tcl_libPath variable.
* unix/tclUnixInit.c: Stopped setting the tclDefaultLibrary variable,
execept on the Mac OS X platform with HAVE_CFBUNDLE. In that
configuration we should seek some way to make use of the TIP 59
facilities and get rid of that usage of tclDefaultLibrary as well.
* generic/tclInterp.c: Updated [tclInit] to make $env(TCL_LIBRARY) an
absolute path, and to include the scriptdir,runtime configuration value
on the search path for init.tcl.
* unix/tclUnixInit.c: The routines Tcl_Init() and TclSourceRCFile()
* win/tclWinInit.c: had identical implementations for both win and
* generic/tclInterp.c: unix. Moved to a single generic implementation.
* generic/tclMain.c:
* library/init.tcl:
* generic/tclInitScript.h (removed):
* unix/Makefile.in:
* win/tcl.dsp:
* unix/configure.in: Updated TCL_PACKAGE_PATH value to handle
* win/configure.in: --libdir configuration.
* unix/configure.in: autoconf-2.57
* win/configure.in:
* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): Moved call to
TclInitEmbeddedConfigurationInformation() earlier in
Tcl_CreateInterp() so that other parts of interp creation and
initialization may access and use the config values.
2004-06-11 Kevin Kenny <[email protected]>
* win/tclAppInit.c: Restored the 'setargv' procedure when compiling
with mingw. Apparently, the command line parsing in mingw doesn't work
as well as that in vc++, and the result was (1) that winPipe-8.19
failed, and (2) that 'make test' would work at all only with
TESTFLAGS='-singleproc 1'. [Bug 967195]
2004-06-10 Zoran Vasiljevic <[email protected]>
* generic/tclIOUtil.c: removed forceful setting of the private cached
current working directory rep from within the Tcl_FSChdir(). We
delegate this task to the Tcl_FSGetCwd() which does this task anyway.
The relevant code is still present but disabled temporarily until the
change proves correct. The Tcl test suite passes all test with the
given change so I suppose it is good enough.
2004-06-10 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): Disabled addition of
* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): relative-to-executable
directories to the library search path. A first step in reform of
Tcl's startup process.
***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
Attempts to directly run ./tclsh or ./tcltest out of a build directory
will either fail, or will make use of an installed script library in
preference to the one in the source tree. Use `make shell` or `make
runtest` instead.
* tests/unixInit.test: Modified tests to suit above changes.
* generic/tclPathObj.c: Corrected [file tail] results when operating
on a path produced by TclNewFSPathObj(). [Bug 970529]
2004-06-09 Zoran Vasiljevic <[email protected]>
* generic/tclIOUtil.c: partially corrected [Bug 932314]. Also
corrected return values of Tcl_FSChdir() to reflect those of the
underlying platform-specific call. Originally, return codes were mixed
with those of Tcl.
2004-06-08 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclCompile.c:
* generic/tclExecute.c: handle warning [Bug 969066]
2004-06-08 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclHash.c (RebuildTable): Move declaration of variable so it
is only declared when it is used. [Bug 969068]
2004-06-07 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* doc/lsearch.n: Added correct option to example. [Bug 968219]
2004-06-05 Kevin B. Kenny <[email protected]>
* generic/tcl.h: Corrected Tcl_WideInt declarations so that the mingw
build works again.
* generic/tclDecls.h: Changes to the tests for clock
* generic/tclInt.decls: frequency in Tcl_WinTime so
* generic/tclIntDecls.h: 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]
2004-06-04 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* generic/tcl.h: Restored #include <stdio.h> to tcl.h,
rejecting the "fix" for "Bug" 945570. Tcl_FSSeek() needs the values of
SEEK_SET, etc. and too many extensions rely on tcl.h providing stdio.h
for them.
2004-06-02 Jeff Hobbs <[email protected]>
* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpFindExecutable): when using GetModuleFileNameA
(Win9x), convert from CP_ACP to WCHAR then convert back to utf8.
Adjunct to 2004-04-07 fix.
2004-06-02 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>
* tests/winPipe.test (winpipe-6.1): blocking set to 1 before closing
to ensure we get an exitcode. The windows pipe channel driver doesn't
differentiate between a blocking and non-blocking close just yet, but
will soon. Part of [Bug 947693]
2004-06-02 Vince Darley <[email protected]>
* doc/file.n: fix to documentation of 'file volumes' (Bug 962435)
2004-06-01 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>
* win/makefile.vc: check for either MSDEVDIR or MSVCDIR being in the
environment, for VC7. [Bug 942214]
* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_SetChannelOption): -buffersize wasn't
understanding hexidecimal notation nor was reporting number conversion
errors. The behavior to silently ignore settings outside the
acceptable range of Tcl_SetChannelBufferSize (<10 or >1M) is
unchanged. This silent ignoring behavior might be up for review soon.
2004-05-30 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>
* win/tclWinPipe.c:
* win/tclWinPort.h: Reworked the win implementation of Tcl_WaitPid to
support exitcodes in the 'signed short' range. Even though this range
is non-portable, it is valid on windows. Detection of exception codes
are now more accurate. Previously, an application that exited with
ExitProcess((DWORD)-1); was improperly reported as exiting with
SIGABRT.
2004-05-30 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclInterp.c: Added comments describing the purposes of each
function in the limit implementation and rewrote the names of some
non-public functions for greater clarity of purpose.
* doc/interp.n: Added note about what happens when a limited
interpreter creates a slave interpreter.
* doc/Limit.3: Added manual page for the resource limit subsystem's C
API. [Bug 953903]
2004-05-29 Joe English <[email protected]>
* doc/global.n, doc/interp.n, doc/lrange.n: Fix minor markup errors.
2004-05-28 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* doc/*.n: Added examples to many (too many to list) more man pages.
2004-05-25 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclExecute.c:
* generic/tclVar.c: using (ptrdiff_t) instead of (int) casting to
correct compiler warnings [Bug 961657], reported by Bob Techentin.
2004-05-27 Kevin B. Kenny <[email protected]>
* 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 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclHash.c (CompareStringKeys): Added #ifdef to allow people
to instruct this function to use strcmp(). [FRQ 951168]
* generic/tclVar.c: Moved declarations into #if guards so they only
happen when required.
* unix/tclUnixPort.h: Guard declaration of strtod() so it is only
enabled when we don't have a declaration in stdlib.h
* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (Tcl_CreateThread): Added declarations
* unix/tclUnixTest.c (AlarmHandler): and casts so that
* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtyModemStatusStr): all functions are
* generic/tclScan.c (Tcl_ScanObjCmd): defined before use
* generic/tclDictObj.c (InvalidateDictChain): and no cross-type
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): uses are performed.
The overall effect is to make building with gcc with the additional
flags -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes produce no increase in
the total number of warnings (except for main(), which is undeclared
for traditional reasons.)
2004-05-26 Jeff Hobbs <[email protected]>
* unix/Makefile.in: Rework configure ordering to TCL_LINK_LIBS,
* unix/tcl.m4: ENABLE_SHARED, CONFIG_CFLAGS, & ENABLE_SYMBOLS
* unix/configure: before TCL_EARLY_FLAGS and TCL_64BIT_FLAGS
* unix/configure.in: (about 400 lines earlier) in configure.in. This
forces CFLAGS configuration to be done before many tests, which is
needed for 64-bit builds and may affect other builds. Also make
CONFIG_CFLAGS append to CFLAGS directly instead of using EXTRA_CFLAGS,
and have LDFLAGS append to any existing value. [Bug 874058]
* unix/dltest/Makefile.in: change EXTRA_CFLAGS to DEFS
2004-05-26 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* 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
tcltest.test. Bumped to tcltest 2.2.6. [Bugs 960560, 960926]
2004-05-25 Jeff Hobbs <[email protected]>
* 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 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclInterp.c (DeleteScriptLimitCallback): Move all deletion
of script callback hash table entries to happen here so the entries
are correctly removed at the right time. [Bug 960410]
2004-05-25 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* docs/global.n: added details for qualified variable names [Bug
959831]
2004-05-25 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_FindNamespaceVar):
* tests/namespace.test (namespace-17.10-12): reverted commit of
2004-05-23 and removed the tests, as it interferes with the varname
resolver and there are apps that break (AlphaTk). A fix will have to
wait for Tcl9.
* generic/tclVar.c: Caching of namespace variables disabled: no simple
way was found to avoid interfering with the resolver's idea of
variable existence. A cached varName may keep a variable's name in the
namespace's hash table, which is the resolver's criterion for
existence.
* tests/namespace.c (namespace-17.10): testing for interference
between varname caching and name resolver.
2004-05-25 Kevin Kenny <[email protected]>
* 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]
2004-05-25 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* tests/winPipe.test: Protect against path being set
* tests/unixInit.test: Unset path when done.
* tests/unload.test (unload-3.1): Verify [pkgb_sub] does not exist.
Delete interps when done.
* tests/stringComp.test: stop re-use of string.test test names
* tests/regexpComp.test: stop re-use of regexp.test test names
* tests/namespace.test (namespace-46.3): Verify [p] does not exist.
* tests/http.test: Clear away the custom [bgerror] when done.
* tests/io.test: Take care to use namespace variables.
* tests/autoMkindex.test (autoMkindex-5.2): Use variable "result"
that gets cleaned up.
* tests/exec.test: Clean up the "path" array.
* tests/interp.test (interp-9.3): Initialize res, so prior values
cannot make the test fail.
* tests/execute.test (execute-8.1): Updated to remove the trace set
on ::errorInfo. When left in place, that trace can cause later tests
to fail.
2004-05-25 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclBasic.c: Removed references to Tcl_RenameCommand from
* generic/tcl.h: comments. [Bug 848440, second part]
* tests/fCmd.test: Rewrote tests that failed consistently on NFS so
they either succeed (through slightly more liberal matching of the
results) or are constrained to not run. [Bug 931312]
* doc/bgerror.n: Use idiomatic open flags for working with log
files. [Bug 959602]
2004-05-24 Jeff Hobbs <[email protected]>
* 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 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclInterp.c (TclInitLimitSupport): Made limits work on
platforms where sizeof(void*)!=sizeof(int). [Bug 959193]
2004-05-24 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* doc/set.n: accurate description of name resolution process,
referring to namespace.n for details [Bug 959180]
2004-05-23 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_FindNamespaceVar): [Bug 959052] fixed,
insuring that no "zombie" variables are found.
* generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupSimpleVar): comments re [Bug 736729]
(predecessor of [Bug 959052]) removed.
* tests/namespace.test: added tests 17.10-12
The patch modifies non-documented behaviour, and passes every test in
the testsuite. However, scripts relying on the old behaviour may
break.
Note that the only behaviour change concerns the creative writing of
unset variables. More precisely, which variable will be created when
neither a namespace variable nor a global variable by that name
exists, as defined by [info vars]. The new behaviour is that the
namespace resolution process deems a variable to exist exactly when
[info vars] finds it - ie, either it has value, or else it was "fixed"
by a call to [variable].
Note: this patch was removed on 2002-05-25.
2004-05-22 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclVar.c (TclObjLookupVar, TclObjUnsetVar2): fix for new (in
tcl8.4) exteriorisations of [Bug 736729] due to the use of
tclNsVarNameType obj types. Reenabling the use of this objType ("VAR
ref absolute" benchmark down to 66 ms, from 230). Added comments in
TclLookupSimpleVar explaining my current understanding of [Bug
736729].
2004-05-22 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclVar.c: fix for [Bug 735335]. The use of tclNsVarNameType
objs is still disabled, pending resolution of [Bug 736729].
2004-05-21 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* tests/namespace.test (namespace-41.3): removed the {knownBug}
constraint: [Bug 231259] is closed since nov 2001, and the fix of [Bug
729692] (INST_START_CMD) makes the test succeed.
2004-05-21 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Move a few declarations a
short distance so pre-C99 compilers can cope. Also fix so
TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG path compiles...

* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): reorganised TEBC
automatic variables, defining them in tight blocks instead of at the
function level. This has three purposes:
- it simplifies the analysis of individual instructions
- it is preliminary work to the non-recursive engine
- it allows a better register allocation by the optimiser; under
gcc3.3, this results in up to 10% runtime in some tests
2004-05-20 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclInterp.c (TclLimitRemoveAllHandlers):
* generic/tclBasic.c (DeleteInterpProc):
* tests/interp.test (interp-34.7): Ensure that all limit callbacks are
deleted when their interpreters are deleted. [Bug 956083]
2004-05-19 Kevin B. Kenny <[email protected]>
* 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
FindFirstFileEx 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 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* tests/interp.test (interp-34.3): Rewrite this test to see if a time
limit can catch a tight bytecode loop, a maximally aggressive
denial-of-service attack.
* generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_LimitCheck): Fix the sense of checks to see
whether a time limit has been extended.
* tests/*.test: Many minor fixes, including ensuring that every test
is run (so constraints control whether the test is doing anything) and
making sure that constraints are always set using the API instead of
poking around inside tcltest's internal datastructures. Also got rid
of all trailing whitespace lines from the test suite!
2004-05-19 Andreas Kupries <[email protected]>
* 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.
***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for channel drivers.
2004-05-17 Vince Darley <[email protected]>
* generic/tclPathObj.c: fix to (Bug 956063) in 'file dirname'.
* tests/cmdAH.test: added test for this bug.
* doc/FileSystem.3: better documentation of refCount requirements of
some FS functions (Bug 956126)
2004-05-19 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclTest.c (TestgetintCmd): Made the tests in get.test check
* tests/get.test: Tcl_GetInt() since the core now
avoids that function.
2004-05-18 Kevin B. Kenny <[email protected]>
* compat/strftime.c (_fmt, ISO8601Week):
* doc/clock.n:
* tests/clock.test: Major rework to the handling of ISO8601 week
numbers. Now passes all the %G and %V test cases on Windows, Linux and
Solaris [Bugs 500285, 500389, and 852944]
2004-05-18 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* doc/append.n, doc/upvar.n: Added example.
2004-05-18 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>
* win/makefile.vc: now generates a tclConfig.sh from Pat Thoyts [Patch
909911]
2004-05-18 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* doc/lsearch.n: Improve clarity (based on [Patch 955361] by Peter
Spjuth)
* tools/man2help2.tcl (macro,SHmacro): Added support for subsection
(.SS) header macros.
* doc/interp.n: Added user documentation for the TIP#143 resource
limits and some examples.
* generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_LimitCheck, Tcl_LimitTypeReset): Reset the
limit-exceeded flag when removing a limit.
2004-05-18 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): added comments to
classify the variables according to their use in TEBC.
2004-05-17 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* doc/global.n, doc/uplevel.n: Added an example.
* tests/info.test (info-3.1): Corrected test result back to what it
used to be in Tcl 7.* now that command counts are being correctly kept
* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC:INST_START_CMD): Make sure that the
command-count is always advanced. Allows TIP#143 limits to tell that
work is being done.
* doc/list.n: Updated example to fit with the unified format.
* doc/seek.n: Added some examples.
2004-05-17 Vince Darley <[email protected]>
* win/tclWinFile.c:
* tests/cmdAH.test: fix to (Bug 954263) where 'file executable' was
case-sensitive.
2004-05-17 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* doc/OpenFileChnl.3: Documented type of 'offset' argument to Tcl_Seek
was wrong. [Bug 953374]
2004-05-16 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): remove one level of
indirection for compiledLocals addressing.
2004-05-16 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_CALL_FUNC1): bugfix; restored
(DE)CACHE_STACK_INFO pair around the call - the user defined math
function could cause a recursive call to TEBC.
2004-05-16 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteInterp):
* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_START_CMD): interp deletion now modifies
the compileEpoch, eliminating the need for the check for interp
deletion in INST_START_CMD.
2004-05-16 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclCompile.h:
* generic/tclCompile.c:
* generic/tclExecute.c: changed implementation of {expand}, last
chance while in alpha as ...
***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
Scripts precompiled with ProComp under previous tcl8.5a versions may
malfunction due to changed instruction numbers for
INST_LIST_INDEX_IMM, INST_LIST_RANGE_IMM and INST_START_CMD.
2004-05-14 Kevin B. Kenny <[email protected]>
* 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 942078] Removed a buggy
test of the Daylight Saving Time information in 'gettimeofday' in
favor of applying 'localtime' to a known value. [Bug 922848]
* 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.
2004-05-14 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclExecute.c:
* generic/tclCompile.h: the math functions receive a pointer to top of
the stack (tosPtr) instead of the execution environment (eePtr). First
step towards a change in the execution stack management - it is now
only used within TEBC.
2004-05-13 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
TIP#143 IMPLEMENTATION
* generic/tclExecute.c (TclCompEvalObj, TclExecuteByteCode):
* generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalObjvInternal): Enable limit checking.
* generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_Limit*): Public limit API.
* generic/tcl.decls:
* tests/interp.test: Basic tests of command limits.
* doc/binary.n: TIP#129 IMPLEMENTATION [Patch 858211]
* generic/tclBinary.c: Note that the test suite probably has many more
* tests/binary.test: failures now due to alterations in constraints.
2004-05-12 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
Optimisations for INST_START_CMD [Bug 926164].
* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): avoid emitting
INST_START_CMD as the first instruction in a bytecoded Tcl_Obj. It is
not needed, as the checks are done before calling TEBC.
* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): runtime peephole
optimisation: check at INST_POP if the next instruction is
INST_START_CMD, in which case we fall through.
2004-05-11 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* doc/split.n, doc/join.n: Updated examples and added more.
2004-05-11 Vince Darley <[email protected]>
* doc/glob.n: documented behaviour of symbolic links with 'glob -types
d' (Bug 951489)
2004-05-11 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* doc/scan.n: Updated the examples to be clearer about their relevance
to the scan command.
2004-05-10 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* doc/scan.n: Added examples.
2004-05-10 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>
* win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Moved non-obvious appending
logic to outside the loop and added commentary for its purpose. Also
use the existence of contents in the linePtr rather than the scratch
DString post the append, as this more clear.
(TclpCreateProcess): When under NT, with no console, and executing a
DOS application, the path priming does not need an ending space as
BuildCommandLine() will do this for us.
2004-05-08 Vince Darley <[email protected]>
* generic/tclFileName.c:
* generic/tclIOUtil.c: remove some compiler warnings on MacOS X.
2004-05-07 Chengye Mao <[email protected]>
* win/tclWinPipe.c: refixed bug 789040 re-entered in rev 1.41. Let's
be careful and don't re-enter previously fixed bugs.
2004-05-08 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* doc/format.n: Added examples.
2004-05-07 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* doc/unset.n: added upvar.n to the "see also" list
2004-05-07 Reinhard Max <[email protected]>
* generic/tclEncoding.c:
* tests/encoding.test: added support and tests for translating
embedded null characters between real nullbytes and the internal
representation on input/output [Bug 949905].
2004-05-07 Vince Darley <[email protected]>
* generic/tclFileName.c:
* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
* generic/tclFileSystem.h:
* tests/fileSystem.test: fix for [Bug 943995], in which vfs-registered
root volumes were not handled correctly as glob patterns in all
circumstances.
2004-05-06 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclInt.h:
* generic/tclObj.c (TclFreeObj): made TclFreeObj use the new macro
TclFreeObjMacro(), so that the allocation and freeing of Tcl_Obj is
defined in a single spot (the macros in tclInt.h), with the exception
of the TCL_MEM_DEBUG case.
The #ifdef logic for the corresponding macros has been reformulated to
make it clearer.
2004-05-05 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* doc/break.n, doc/continue.n, doc/for.n, doc/while.n: More examples.
2004-05-05 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.10): Test correction for Mac OSX.
Be sure to consistently compare normalized path names. Thanks to
Steven Abner (tauvan). [Bug 948177]
2004-05-05 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* doc/CrtObjCmd.3: Remove reference to Tcl_RenameCommand; there is no
such API. [Bug 848440]
2004-05-05 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>
* win/tclWinSock.c (SocketEventProc) : connect errors should fire both
the readable and writable handlers because this is how it works on
UNIX [Bug 794839]
* generic/tclEncoding.c (TclFinalizeEncodingSubsystem):
FreeEncoding(systemEncoding); moved to before the hash table iteration
as it was causing a double free attempt under some conditions.
* win/coffbase.txt: Added the tls extension to the list of preferred
load addresses.
2004-05-04 Jeff Hobbs <[email protected]>
* tests/fileSystem.test (filesystem-1.39): replace 'file volumes'
* tests/fileName.test (filename-12.9,10): lindex with direct C:/
hard-coded because A:/ was being used and that is empty for most.
* tests/winFCmd.test (winFCmd-16.12): test volumerelative $HOME
2004-05-04 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* generic/tclAlloc.c: Make sure Tclp*Alloc* routines get
* generic/tclInt.h: declared in the TCL_MEM_DEBUG and
* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: TCL_THREADS configuration. [Bug 947564]
* tests/tcltest.test: Test corrections for Mac OSX. Thanks to Steven
Abner (tauvan). [Bug 947440]
2004-05-04 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclEvent.c (TclSetLibraryPath): Suppress a warning.
2004-05-03 Andreas Kupries <[email protected]>
* Applied [Patch 868853], fixing a mem leak in TtySetOptionProc.
Report and Patch provided by Stuart Cassoff <[email protected]>.
2004-05-03 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclProc.c (TclCreateProc): comments corrected.
2004-05-03 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): setting the compilation
namespace outside of the loop.
2004-05-03 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclCompile.c:
* generic/tclInt.h: reverted fix for [Bug 926445] of 2004-04-02,
restoring TCL_ALIGN to the header file. Todd Helfter reported that the
macro is required by tbcload.
2004-05-03 Kevin Kenny <[email protected]>
* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclpCheckStackSpace):
* tests/stack.test (stack-3.1): Fix for undetected stack overflow in
TclReExec on Windows. [Bug 947070]
2004-05-03 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* library/init.tcl: Corrected unique prefix matching of
interactive command completion in [unknown]. [Bug 946952]
2004-05-02 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclProc.c (TclObjInvokeProc):
* tests/proc.test (proc-3.6): fix for bad quoting of multi-word proc
names in error messages [Bug 942757]
2004-04-30 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* doc/glob.n, doc/incr.n, doc/set.n: More examples.
* doc/if.n, doc/rename.n, doc/time.n:
2004-04-30 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* generic/tclInt.h: Replaced Kevin Kenny's temporary
* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: fix for Bug 945447 with a cleaner,
more permanent replacement.
2004-04-30 Kevin B. Kenny <[email protected]>
* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: Added a temporary (or so I hope!)
inclusion of "tclWinInt.h" to avoid problems when compiling on
Win32-VC++ with --enable-threads. [Bug 945447]
2004-04-30 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* doc/puts.n: Added a few examples.
2004-04-29 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* tests/execute.test (execute-8.2): Avoid crashes when there is
limited system stack space (threads-enabled).
2004-04-28 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* doc/global.n:
* doc/upvar.n:
* generic/tclVar.c (ObjMakeUpvar):
* tests/upvar.test (upvar-8.11):
* tests/var.test (var-3.11): Avoid creation of unusable variables:
[Bug 600812] [TIP 184].
2004-04-28 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* doc/lsearch.n: Fixed fault in documentation of -index option [943448]
2004-04-26 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (TclpObjNormalizePath): Corrected improper
positioning of returned checkpoint. [Bug 941108]
2004-04-26 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* doc/open.n, doc/close.n: Updated (thanks to David Welton) to be
clearer about pipeline errors and added example to open(n) that shows
simple pipeline use. [Patches 941377,941380]
* doc/DictObj.3: Added warning about the use of Tcl_DictObjDone and an
example of use of iteration. [Bug 940843]
* doc/Thread.3: Reworked to remove references to testing interfaces
and instead promote the use of the Thread package. [Patch 932527]
Also reworked and reordered the page for better readability.
2004-04-25 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* generic/tcl.h: Removed obsolete declarations and #include's.
* generic/tclInt.h: [Bugs 926459, 926486]
2004-04-24 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>
* win/tclWin32Dll.c (DllMain): Added DisableThreadLibraryCalls() for
the DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH case. We're not interested in knowing about
DLL_THREAD_ATTACH, so disable the notices.
2004-04-24 Daniel Steffen <[email protected]>
* generic/tclPort.h:
* macosx/Makefile:
* unix/Makefile.in: followup on tcl header reform [FR 922727]: removed
use of relative #include paths in tclPort.h to allow installation of
private headers outside of tcl source tree; added 'unix' dir to
compiler header search path; add newly required tcl private headers to
Tcl.framework on Mac OSX.
2004-04-23 Andreas Kupries <[email protected]>
* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_SetChannelOption): Fixed [SF Tcl Bug 930851].
When changing the eofchar we have to zap the related flags to prevent
them from prematurely aborting the next read.
2004-04-25 Vince Darley <[email protected]>
* generic/tclPathObj.c: fix to [Bug 940281]. Tcl_FSJoinPath will now
always return a valid Tcl_Obj when the input is valid.
* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to [Bug 931823] for a more consistent
Tcl_FSPathSeparator() implementation which allows filesystems not to
implement their Tcl_FSFilesystemSeparatorProc if they wish to use the
default '/'. Also fixed associated memory leak seen with, e.g., tclvfs
package.
* doc/FileSystem.3: documented Tcl_FSJoinPath return values more
clearly, and Tcl_FSFilesystemSeparatorProc requirements.
2004-04-23 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>
* win/tclWin32Dll.c: Removed my mistake from 4/19 of adding an exit
handler to TclWinInit. TclWinEncodingsCleanup called from
TclFinalizeFilesystem does the Tcl_FreeEncoding for us.
* win/tclWinChan.c (Tcl_MakeFileChannel): Case for CloseHandle
returning zero and not throwing a
RaiseException(EXCEPTION_INVALID_HANDLE) now being done.
2004-04-22 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>
* 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.
* win/tclWinTime.c: If the Tcl_ExitProc (StopCalibration) is called
from the stack frame of DllMain's PROCESS_DETACH, the wait operation
should timeout and continue.
* 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.
2004-04-22 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* doc/switch.n: Reworked the examples to be more systematically named
and to cover some TIP#75 capabilities.
* doc/cd.n: Documentation clarification from David Welton.
* doc/exec.n: Added some examples, Windows ones from Arjen Markus and
Unix ones by myself.
2004-04-21 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* doc/Hash.3: Added note to Tcl_{First,Next}HashEntry docs that
deleting the element they return is supported (and is in fact the only
safe update you can do to the structure of a hashtable while an
iteration is going over it.)
* doc/bgerror.n: Added example from David Welton. [Patch 939473]
* doc/after.n: Added examples from David Welton. [Patch 938820]
2004-04-19 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>
* win/tclWin32Dll.c: Added an exit handler in TclWinInit() so
tclWinTCharEncoding could be freed during Tcl_Finalize().
* generic/tclEncoding.c: Added FreeEncoding(systemEncoding) in
TclFinalizeEncodingSubsystem because its ref count was incremented in
TclInitEncodingSubsystem.
2004-04-19 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* doc/read.n: Added example from David Welton. [Patch 938056]
2004-04-19 Kevin B. Kenny <[email protected]>
* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetDoubleFromObj) Corrected "short circuit"
conversion of int to double. Reported by Jeff Hobbs on the Tcl'ers
Chat.
2004-04-16 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* doc/lreplace.n, doc/lrange.n, doc/llength.n: More examples for
* doc/linsert.n, doc/lappend.n: the documentation.
2004-04-16 Vince Darley <[email protected]>
* doc/FileSystem.3: Corrected documentation of Tcl_FSUtime, and the
corresponding filesystem driver Tcl_FSUtimeProc. [Bug 935838]
2004-04-16 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* doc/socket.n: Added example from [Patch 936245].
* doc/gets.n: Added example based on [Patch 935911].
2004-04-15 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclClock.c (Tcl_ClockObjCmd): Minor fault in a [clock
clicks] error message.
2004-04-07 Jeff Hobbs <[email protected]>
* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings): note that WIN32_CE is
also a unicode platform.
* generic/tclEncoding.c (TclFindEncodings, Tcl_FindExecutable):
* generic/tclInt.h: Correct handling of UTF
* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): data that is actually
* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpFindExecutable): "clean", allowing the
* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): loading of Tcl from paths
that contain multi-byte chars on Windows [Bug 920667]
* win/configure: define TCL_LIB_FLAG, TCL_BUILD_LIB_SPEC,
* win/configure.in: TCL_LIB_SPEC, TCL_PACKAGE_PATH in tclConfig.sh.
2004-04-06 Don Porter <[email protected]>
Patch 922727 committed. Implements three changes:
* generic/tclInt.h: Reworked the Tcl header files into a clean
* unix/tclUnixPort.h: hierarchy where tcl.h < tclPort.h < tclInt.h
* win/tclWinInt.h: and every C source file should #include
* win/tclWinPort.h: at most one of those files to satisfy its
declaration needs. tclWinInt.h and tclWinPort.h also better organized
so that tclWinPort.h includes the Windows implementation of
cross-platform declarations, while tclWinInt.h makes declarations that
are available on Windows only.
* generic/tclBinary.c (TCL_NO_MATH): Deleted the generic/tclMath.h
* generic/tclMath.h (removed): header file. The internal Tcl
* macosx/Makefile (PRIVATE_HEADERS): header, tclInt.h, has a
* win/tcl.dsp: #include <math.h> directly,
and file external to Tcl needing libm should do the same.
* win/Makefile.in (WIN_OBJS): Deleted the win/tclWinMtherr.c file.
* win/makefile.bc (TCLOBJS): It's a vestige from matherr() days
* win/makefile.vc (TCLOBJS): gone by.
* win/tcl.dsp:
* win/tclWinMtherr.c (removed):
End Patch 922727.
* tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-3.1): Default encoding on Darwin
systems is utf-8. Thanks to Steven Abner (tauvan). [Bug 928808]
2004-04-06 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* tests/cmdAH.test (cmdAH-18.2): Added constraint because
access(...,X_OK) is defined to be permitted to be meaningless when
running as root, and OSX exhibits this. [Bug 929892]
2004-04-02 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclCompile.c:
* generic/tclInt.h: removed the macro TCL_ALIGN() from tclInt.h,
replaced by the static macro ALIGN() in tclCompile.c [Bug 926445]
2004-04-02 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclCompile.h: removed redundant #ifdef _TCLINT [Bug 928415],
reported by tauvan.
2004-04-02 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* tests/tcltest.test: Corrected constraint typos: "nonRoot" ->
"notRoot". Thanks to Steven Abner (tauvan). [Bug 928353]
2004-04-01 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* generic/tclInt.h: Removed obsolete tclBlockTime* declarations. [Bug
926454]
2004-04-01 Vince Darley <[email protected]>
* generic/tclIOUtil.c: Fix to privately reported vfs bug with 'glob
-type d -dir . *' across a vfs boundary. No tests for this are
currently possible without effectively moving tclvfs into Tcl's test
suite.
2004-03-31 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* doc/msgcat.n: Clarified message catalog file encodings. [Bug 811457]
* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl: Updated internals to make use of [dict]s
to store message catalog data and to use [source -encoding utf-8] to
access catalog files. Thanks to Michael Sclenker. [Patch 875055, RFE
811459] Corrected [mcset] to be able to successfully set a translation
to the empty string. [mcset $loc $src {}] was incorrectly set the $loc
translation of $src back to $src. Also changed [ConvertLocale] to
minimally require a non-empty "language" part in the locale value. If
not, an error raised prompts [Init] to keep looking for a valid locale
value, or ultimately fall back on the "C" locale. [Bug 811461].
* library/msgcat/pkgIndex.tcl: Bump to msgcat 1.4.1.
2004-03-30 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclHash.c (HashStringKey): Cleaned up. This function is not
faster, but it is a little bit clearer.
* generic/tclLiteral.c (HashString): Applied logic from HashObjKey.
* generic/tclObj.c (HashObjKey): Rewrote to fix fault which hashed
every single-character object to the same hash bucket. The new code is
shorter, simpler, clearer, and (happily) faster.
2004-03-30 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC): reverting to the previous method for
async tests in TEBC, as the new method turned out to be too costly.
Async tests now run every 64 instructions.
2004-03-30 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclCompile.c: New instruction code INST_START_CMD that
* generic/tclCompile.h: allows checking the bytecode's validity
* generic/tclExecute.c: [Bug 729692] and the interp's readyness
* tests/interp.test (18.9): [Bug 495830] before running the command.
* tests/proc.test (7.1): It also changes the mechanics of the async
* tests/rename.test (6.1): tests in TEBC, doing it now at command
start instead of every 16 instructions.
2004-03-30 Vince Darley <[email protected]>
* generic/tclFileName.c: Fix to Windows glob where the pattern is a
* generic/tclIOUtil.c: volume relative path or a network share [Bug
* tests/fileName.test: 898238]. On windows 'glob' will now return
* tests/fileSystem.test: the results of 'glob /foo/bar' and 'glob
\\foo\\bar' as 'C:/foo/bar', i.e. a correct absolute path (rather than
a volume relative path).
Note that the test suite does not test commands like
'glob //Machine/Shared/*' (on a network share).
2004-03-30 Vince Darley <[email protected]>
* generic/tclPathObj.c: Fix to filename bugs recently
* tests/fileName.test: introduced [Bug 918320].
2004-03-29 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main, StdinProc): Append newline only
* tests/basic.test (basic-46.1): to incomplete scripts
as part of multi-line script construction. Do not add an extra
trailing newline to the complete script. [Bug 833150]
2004-03-28 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): corrected possible segfault
when a compilation returns TCL_OUTLINE_COMPILE after having grown the
compile environment [Bug 925121].
2004-03-27 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* doc/array.n: added documentation for trace-realted behaviour of

another volume relative bug found while testing.
2004-03-24 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>

handling of strncmp result which just happened to work in some libc
implementations. [Bug 922752]
2004-03-23 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* doc/StringObj.3: Inverted the sense of the documentation of how the

* win/tclWinNotify.c: Fixed a mistake where the return value of
MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx for "a message is in the queue" wasn't
accurate. I removed the check on the case result==(WAIT_OBJECT_0 + 1)
This was having the error of falling into GetMessage and waiting there
by accident, which wasn't alertable through Tcl_AlertNotifier. I'll do
some more study on this and try to find-out why.
2004-03-12 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#163
* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictMergeCmd): This is based on work by Joe
* tests/dict.test (dict-20.*): English in Tcl [FRQ 745851]
* doc/dict.n: but not exactly.
2004-03-10 Kevin B. Kenny <[email protected]>
* generic/tclGetDate.y (TclGetDate): Fix so that [clock scan
<timeOfDay> -gmt true] uses the GMT base date instead of the local
one. [Bug 913513]
* tests/clock.test: Added test cases for wrong ISO8601 week number
[Bug 500285] and wrong GMT base date [Bug 913513]. Several tests still
fail on Windows, and these are actual faults in [clock scan]. Fix is
still pending.
* generic/tclDate.c: Regenerated.
2004-03-08 Vince Darley <[email protected]>
* generic/tclFileName.c: Fix to 'glob -path' near the root
* tests/fileName.test: of the filesystem. [Bug 910525]
2004-03-08 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* generic/tclParse.c (TclParseInit): Modified TclParseInit so
* generic/tclTest.c ([testexprparser]): that Tcl_Parse initialization
conforms to documented promised about what fields will not be
modified by what Tcl_Parse* routines. [Bug 910595]
2004-03-05 Mo DeJong <[email protected]>
* win/configure: Regen.
* win/configure.in: Check for define of MWMO_ALERTABLE in winuser.h.
* win/tclWinPort.h: If MWMO_ALERTABLE is not defined in winuser.h then
define it. This is needed for Mingw.
2004-03-05 Kevin B. Kenny <[email protected]>
* generic/tclTest.c: Modified TesteventObjCmd to use a
Tcl_QueuePosition in place of an 'int' for the enumerated queue
position, to avoid a compiler warning on SGI. [Bug 771960]
2004-03-05 Kevin B. Kenny <[email protected]>
* tests/registry.test: Applied fix from [Patch 910174] to make the test
for an English-language system include any country code, rather than
just English-United States.1252. Thanks to Pat Thoyts for the changes.
2004-03-04 Pat Thoyts <[email protected]>
* tests/registry.test: Applied fixed from [Bug 766159] to skip two
tests on Win98 that depend on a Unicode registry (NT specific).
2004-03-04 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* generic/tclInt.h (TclParseInit): Factored the common code
* generic/tclParse.c (TclParseInit): for initializing a Tcl_Parse
* generic/tclParseExpr.c: struct into one routine.
2004-03-04 Pat Thoyts <[email protected]>
* library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl: Added TIP #100 support to the

This provides a Windows test of the TIP #100 mechanism and a sample to
show how unloading an extension can be done.
2004-03-04 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>

*** 8.5a1 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
* changes: updated for 8.5a1
2004-03-03 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>
* win/makefile.vc: default environment variable for VC++ is %MSDevDir%
not %MSVCDir%, although vcvars32.bat sets both.
* win/tclWinNotify.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent) : Allows an idling notifier to
service "Asynchronous Procedure Calls" from its wait state. Only
useful for extension authors who decide they might want to try
"completion routines" with WriteFileEx(), as an example. From
experience, I recommend that "completion ports" should be used instead
as the execution of the callbacks are more managable.
2004-03-01 Jeff Hobbs <[email protected]>
* README: update patchlevel to 8.5a1
* generic/tcl.h:
* tools/tcl.wse.in, tools/tclSplash.bmp:
* unix/configure, unix/configure.in, unix/tcl.spec:
* win/README.binary, win/configure, win/configure.in:
* unix/tcl.m4: update HP-11 build libs setup
2004-03-01 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Allow 64-bit enabling on
IRIX64-6.5* systems. [Bug 218561]
* unix/configure: autoconf-2.57
* generic/tclTrace.c (TclCheckInterpTraces): The TIP 62
* generic/tclTest.c (TestcmdtraceCmd): implementation introduced a
* tests/trace.test (trace-29.10): bug by testing the CallFrame
level instead of the iPtr->numLevels level when deciding what traces
created by Tcl_Create(Obj)Trace to call. Added test to expose the
error, and made fix. [FRQ 462580]
2004-02-28 Vince Darley <[email protected]>
* tests/fileSystem.test: fix to Tcl Bug 905163.
* tests/fileName.test: fix to Tcl Bug 904705.
* doc/{various}.n: removed 'the the' typos.
2004-02-26 Daniel Steffen <[email protected]>
* macosx/Makefile: fixed copyright year in Tcl.framework Info.plist
2004-02-25 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* tests/basic.test: Made several tests more robust to the
* tests/cmdMZ.test: list-quoting of path names that might contain

* tests/source.test:
* tests/unixInit.test:
2004-02-25 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclLoad.c (Tcl_LoadObjCmd): Missing dereference caused
segfault with non-loadable extension. [Bug 904307]
* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TcpGetOptionProc): Stop memory leak with very
long hostnames. [Bug 888777]
2004-02-25 Pat Thoyts <[email protected]>
* win/tclWinDde.c: Removed some gcc warnings - except for the
-Wconversion warning for GetGlobalAtomName. gcc is just wrong about
this.
2004-02-24 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#100 FROM GEORGIOS PETASIS
* generic/tclLoad.c (Tcl_UnloadObjCmd): Implementation.
* tests/unload.test: Test suite.
* unix/dltest/pkgua.c: Helper for test suite.
* doc/unload.n: Documentation.
Also assorted changes (mostly small) to several other files.
2004-02-23 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/regc_locale.c (cclass): Buffer was having its size reset
instead of being released => memleak. [Bug 902562]
2004-02-21 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclLoad.c (Tcl_LoadObjCmd): Fixed memory leak due to an
improper error exit route.
2004-02-20 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>
* 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.
2004-02-17 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* doc/tcltest.n:
* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Changed -verbose default value to
{body error} so that detailed information on unexpected errors in
tests is provided by default, even after the fix for [Bug 725253]
2004-02-17 Jeff Hobbs <[email protected]>
* tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-7.1):
* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitPlatform): ensure the std fds exist to
prevent crash condition [Bug 772288]
2004-02-17 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSwitchCmd): Bozo mistake in memory
releasing order when in an error case. [Bug 898910]
2004-02-16 Jeff Hobbs <[email protected]>
* generic/tclTrace.c (TclTraceExecutionObjCmd)
(TclTraceCommandObjCmd): fix possible mem leak in trace info.
2004-02-12 Mo DeJong <[email protected]>
* win/tclWinInit.c (AppendEnvironment): Use the tail component of the
passed in lib path instead of just blindly using lib+4. That worked
when lib was "lib/..." but fails for other values. Thanks go to
Patrick Samson for pointing this out.
2004-02-10 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>
* win/nmakehlp.c: better macro grepping logic.
2004-02-07 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>
* win/makefile.vc:
* win/rules.vc:
* win/tcl.rc:
* win/tclsh.rc: Added an 'unchecked' option to the OPTS macro so a
core built with symbols can be linked to the non-debug enabled C
run-time. As per discussion with Kevin Kenny. Called like this:
nmake -af makefile.vc OPTS=unchecked,symbols
This clarifies the meaning of the 'g' naming suffix to mean only that
the binary requires the debug enabled C run-time. Whether the binary
contains symbols or not is a different condition.
2004-02-06 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* doc/clock.n: Removed reference to non-existent [file ctime].
2004-02-05 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>
* docs/tclvars.n: Added clarification of the tcl_platform(debug) var
that it only refers to the flavor of the C run-time, and not whether
the core contains symbols.
2004-02-05 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* generic/tclFileName.c (SkipToChar): Corrected CONST and type-casting
issues that caused compiler warnings.
2004-02-04 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* generic/tclCmdAH.c (StoreStatData): Removed improper refcount
decrement of the varName parameter. This error was causing segfaults
following test cmdAH-28.7.
* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Corrected references to non-existent
$name variable in [cleanupTests]. [Bug 833637]
2004-02-03 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Corrected parsing of single command
line argument (option with missing value) [Bug 833910]
* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl: Bump to version 2.2.5.
2004-02-02 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>
* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Ungets): Fixes improper filling of the channel
buffer. This is the buffer before the splice. [Bug 405995]
2004-02-01 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>
* tests/winPipe.test: more pass-thru commandline verifications.
* win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Special case quoting for '{'
not required by the c-runtimes's parse_cmdline().
* win/tclAppInit.c: Removed our custom setargv() in favor of the work
provided by the c-runtime. [Bug 672938]
* win/nmakehlp.c: defensive techniques to avoid static buffer
overflows and a couple envars upsetting invokations of cl.exe and
link.exe. [Bug 885537]
* tests/winPipe.test: Added proof that BuildCommandLine() is not doing
the "N backslashes followed a quote -> insert N * 2 + 1 backslashes
then a quote" rule needed for the crt's parse_cmdline().
* win/tclWinPipe.c: Fixed BuildCommandLine() to pass the new cases.
2004-01-30 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>
* win/makefile.vc: Use the -GZ compiler switch when building for
symbols. This is supposed to emulate the release build better to avoid
hiding problems that only show themselves in a release build.
2004-01-29 Vince Darley <[email protected]>
* generic/tclPathObj.c: fix to [Bug 883143] in file normalization
2004-01-29 Vince Darley <[email protected]>
* doc/file.n:
* generic/tclFCmd.c
* generic/tclTest.c
* library/init.tcl
* mac/tclMacFile.c
* tests/fileSystem.test: fix to [Bug 886352] where 'file copy -force'
had inconsistent behaviour wrt target files with insufficient
permissions, particular from vfs->native fs. Behaviour of '-force' is
now always consistent (and now consistent with behaviour of 'file
delete -force'). Added new tests and documentation and cleaned up the
'simplefs' test filesystem.
* generic/tclIOUtil.c
* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c
* unix/tclUnixFile.c
* win/tclWinFile.c: made native filesystems more robust to C code
which asks for mount lists.
* generic/tclPathObj.c: fix to [Bug 886607] removing warning/error
with some compilers.
2004-01-28 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclObj.c (SetBooleanFromAny): Rewrite to do more efficient
string->bool conversion.
Many other minor whitespace/style fixes to this file too.
2004-01-27 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>
* win/nmakehlp.c: Use '.\nul' as the sourcefile name instead of 'nul'
so VC 5.2 doesn't try searching the path for it and failing with a
possible dialogbox popping up about having to add a CD to an empty
drive. Also added a SetErrorMode() call to disable any dialogs that
cl.exe or link.exe might create. [Bug 885537]
2004-01-22 Vince Darley <[email protected]>
* doc/file.n: clarified documentation of 'file system' [Bug 883825]
* tests/fCmd.test: improved test result in failure case.
2004-01-22 Vince Darley <[email protected]>
* tests/fileSystem.test: 3 new tests
* generic/tclPathObj.c: fix to [Bug 879555] in file normalization.
* doc/filename.n: small clarification to Windows behaviour with
filenames like '.....', 'a.....', '.....a'.
* generic/tclIOUtil.c: slight improvement to native cwd caching on
Windows.
2004-01-21 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>

documentation.

Three main issues accomplished: (1) cleaned up variable names in the
filesystem code so that 'pathPtr' is used throughout. (2) applied a
round of filesystem optimisation with better handling and caching of
relative and absolute paths, requiring fewer conversions. (3)
clarifications to the documentation, particularly regarding the
acceptable refCounts of objects. Some new tests added. Tcl benchmarks
show a significant improvement over 8.4.5, and on Windows typically a
small improvement over 8.3.5 (Unix still appears to require
optimisation). TCL_FILESYSTEM_VERSION_2 introduced, but for internal
use only. There should be no public incompatibilities from these
changes. Thanks to dgp for extensive testing.

* win/tclWinPipe.c (Tcl_WaitPid): Fixed a thread-safety problem with
the process list. The delayed cut operation after the wait was going
stale by being outside the list lock. It now cuts within the lock and
does a locked splice for when it needs to instead. [Bug 859820]
2004-01-18 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclCompile.c, generic/tclCompile.h: Two new opcodes,
INST_LIST_INDEX_IMM and INST_LIST_RANGE_IMM, that have operand(s) of
new type OPERAND_IDX4 which represents indexes into things like lists
(and perhaps other things eventually.)
* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Implementation of the new
opcodes. INST_LIST_INDEX_IMM does a simple [lindex] with either front-
or end-based simple indexing. INST_LIST_RANGE_IMM does an [lrange]
with front- or end-based simple indexing for both the reference to the
first and last items in the range.
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileLassignCmd): Generate bytecode for
the [lassign] command.
2004-01-17 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>
* win/tclWinInit.c: added #pragma comment(lib, "advapi32.lib") when
compiling under VC++ so we don't need to specify it when linking.
2004-01-17 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LassignObjCmd): Add more shimmering
protection for when the list is also one of the variables.
BASIC IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#57
* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LassignObjCmd): Implementation of the
[lassign] command that takes full advantage of Tcl's object API.
* doc/lassign.n: New file documenting the command.
* tests/cmdIL.test (cmdIL-6.*): Test suite for the command.
2004-01-15 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>
* win/tclWinReg.c: Placed the requirement for advapi.lib into the
object file itself with #pragma comment (lib, ...) when built with
VC++. This will simplify linking for users of the static library.
* win/rules.vc: Added new 'fullwarn' to the CHECKS commandline macro;
sets $(FULLWARNINGS).
* win/makefile.vc: Removed 'advapi.lib' from $(baselibs). Added new
logic to crank-up the warning levels for both compile and link when
$(FULLWARNINGS) is set. Some clean-up with how the resource files are
built and how -DTCL_USE_STATIC_PACKAGES is sent when compiling the
shells.
* win/tclAppInit.c: Small change in how TCL_USE_STATIC_PACKAGES is
used.
* win/tcl.rc:
* win/tclsh.rc: Some clean-up with how the resource files are built.
Fixed 'OriginalFilename' problem that still thought a debug suffix was
still 'd', now is 'g'.
2004-01-14 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclDictObj.c (TraceDictPath, DictExistsCmd): Adjusted
behaviour of [dict exists] so a failure to look up a dictionary along
the path of dicts doesn't trigger an error. This is how it was
documented to behave previously... [Bug 871387]
* generic/tclDictObj.c: Assorted dict fixes from Peter Spjuth relating
to [Bug 876170].
(SetDictFromAny): Make sure that lists retain their ordering even when
converted to dictionaries and back.
(TraceDictPath): Correct object reference count handling!
(DictReplaceCmd, DictRemoveCmd): Stop object leak.
(DictIncrCmd,DictLappendCmd,DictAppendCmd,DictSetCmd,DictUnsetCmd):
Simpler handling of reference counts when assigning to variables.
* tests/dict.test (dict-19.2): Memory leak stress test
2004-01-13 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SwitchObjCmd): Silence compiler warnings.
Patch 876451: restores performance of [return]. Also allows forms such
as [return -code error $msg] to be bytecompiled.
* generic/tclInt.h: Factored Tcl_ReturnObjCmd() into two pieces:
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: TclMergeReturnOptions(), which can parse the
options to [return], check their validity, and create the
corresponding return options dictionary, and TclProcessReturn(), which
takes that return options dictionary and performs the [return]
operation.
* generic/tclCompCmds.c: Rewrote TclCompileReturnCmd() to call
TclMergeReturnOptions() at compile time so the return options
dictionary is computed at compile time (when it is fully known). The
dictionary is pushed on the stack along with the result, and the code
and level values are included in the bytecode as operands. Also
supports optimized compilation of un-[catch]ed [return]s from procs
with default options into the INST_DONE instruction.
* generic/tclExecute.c: Rewrote INST_RETURN instruction to retrieve
the code and level operands, pop the return options from the stack,
and call TclProcessReturn() to perform the [return] operation.
* generic/tclCompile.h: New utilities include TclEmitInt4 macro
* generic/tclCompile.c: and TclWordKnownAtCompileTime().
End Patch 876451.
* generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_GlobObjCmd): Latest changes to management
of the interp result by Tcl_GetIndexFromObj() exposed improper interp
result management in the [glob] command procedure. Corrected by
adopting the Tcl_SetObjResult(Tcl_NewStringObj) pattern. This stopped
a segfault in test filename-11.36. [Bug 877677]
2004-01-13 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct, Tcl_WrongNumArgs):
Create fresh objects instead of using the one currently in the
interpreter, which isn't guaranteed to be fresh and unshared. The cost
for the core will be minimal because of the object cache, and this
fixes [Bug 875395].
2004-01-12 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclCompExpr.c (CompileLandOrLorExpr): cosmetic changes.
2004-01-12 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclCompExpr.c (CompileLandOrLorExpr): new logic, fewer
instructions. As a side effect, the instructions INST_LOR and
INST_LAND are now never used.
* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_JUMP*): small optimisation; fix a bug in
debug code.
2004-01-11 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>
* win/tclWinThrd.c (Tcl_ConditionNotify): condPtr must be dereferenced
to see if there are waiters else uninitialized datum is manipulated.
[Bug 849007 789338 745068]
2004-01-09 David Gravereaux <[email protected]>
* generic/tcl.h: Renamed and deprecated #defines moved to within the
#ifndef TCL_NO_DEPRECATED block. This allows us to build Tcl to check
for deprecated functions in use, such as panic() and Tcl_Ckalloc(). By
request from DKF. Extensions that build with -DTCL_NO_DEPRECATED now
have these macros as restricted.
***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
* win/makefile.vc:
* win/rules.vc: Added -DTCL_NO_DEPRECATED usage to makefile.vc.
Called like this: nmake -af makefile.vc CHECKS=nodep
2004-01-09 Vince Darley <[email protected]>
* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to infinite loop in TclFinalizeFilesystem
[Bug 873311]
