adding Tcl interface to vpr
2022-06-07 11:15:20 -05:00
A NOTE ON THE CHANGELOG:
Starting in early 2011, Tcl source code has been under the management of
fossil, hosted at https://core.tcl-lang.org/tcl/ . Fossil presents a "Timeline"
view of changes made that is superior in every way to a hand edited log file.
Because of this, many Tcl developers are now out of the habit of maintaining
this log file. You may still find useful things in it, but the Timeline is
a better first place to look now.
============================================================================
2013-09-19 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
*** 8.6.1 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
* generic/tcl.h: Bump version number to 8.6.1.
* library/init.tcl:
* unix/configure.in:
* win/configure.in:
* unix/tcl.spec:
* README:
* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
* win/configure:
2013-09-19 Donal Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* doc/next.n (METHOD SEARCH ORDER): Bug [3606943]: Corrected
description of method search order.
2013-09-18 Donal Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>

2013-09-17 Donal Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBinary.c (BinaryEncodeUu, BinaryDecodeUu): [Bug 2152292]:
Corrected implementation of the core of uuencode handling so that the
line length processing is correctly applied.
***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
Existing code that was using the old versions and working around the
limitations will now need to do far less. The -maxlen option now has
strict limits on the range of supported lengths; this is a limitation
of the format itself.
2013-09-09 Donal Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclOOMethod.c (CloneProcedureMethod): [Bug 3609693]: Strip
the internal representation of method bodies during cloning in order
to ensure that any bound references to instance variables are removed.

* generic/tclBinary.c (BinaryDecodeHex): [Bug b98fa55285]: Ensure that
whitespace at the end of a string don't cause the decoder to drop the
last decoded byte.
2013-08-03 Donal Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* library/auto.tcl: [Patch 3611643]: Allow TclOO classes to be found
by the autoloading mechanism.
2013-08-02 Donal Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclOODefineCmds.c (ClassSuperSet): Bug [9d61624b3d]: Stop
crashes when emptying the superclass slot, even when doing elaborate
things with metaclasses.
2013-08-01 Harald Oehlmann <oehhar@users.sf.net>
* tclUnixNotify.c (Tcl_InitNotifier): Bug [a0bc856dcd]: Start notifier
thread again if we were forked, to solve Rivet bug 55153.

issue.
2013-06-17 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/regc_locale.c: Bug [a876646efe]: re_expr character class
[:cntrl:] should contain \u0000 - \u001f
2013-06-09 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompCmdsSZ.c (TclCompileTryCmd): [Bug 779d38b996]:
Rewrote the [try] compiler to generate better code in some cases and
to behave correctly in others; when an error happens during the
processing of an exception-trap clause or a finally clause, the
*original* return options are now captured in a -during option, even
when fully compiled.
2013-06-05 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_EXPAND_DROP): [Bugs 2835313, 3614226]:
New opcode to allow resetting the stack to get rid of an expansion,
restoring the stack to a known state in the process.
* generic/tclCompile.c, generic/tclCompCmds.c: Adjusted the compilers
for [break] and [continue] to get stack cleanup right in the majority
of cases.
* tests/for.test (for-7.*): Set of tests for these evil cases.
2013-06-04 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* unix/tcl.m4: Eliminate NO_VIZ macro as current zlib uses HAVE_HIDDEN
instead. One more last-moment fix for FreeBSD by Pietro Cerutti
2013-06-03 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclExecute.c: fix for perf bug detected by Kieran
(https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/comp.lang.tcl/vfpI3bc-DkQ),
diagnosed by dgp to be a close relative of [Bug 781585], which was
fixed by commit [f46fb50cb3]. This bug was introduced by myself in
commit [cbfe055d8c].
2013-06-03 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileBreakCmd, TclCompileContinueCmd):
Added code to allow [break] and [continue] to be issued as a jump (in
the most common cases) rather than using the more expensive exception
processing path in the bytecode engine. [Bug 3614226]: Partial fix for
the issues relating to cleaning up the stack when dealing with [break]
and [continue].
2013-05-27 Harald Oehlmann <oehhar@users.sf.net>
* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl: [Bug 3036566]: Also get locale from
registry key HCU\Control Panel\Desktop : PreferredUILanguages to honor
installed language packs on Vista+.
Bumped msgcat version to 1.5.2

* tclCompile.c: Removed duplicate const qualifier causing the HP
native cc to error out.
2013-05-22 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclUtf.c (TclUtfCasecmp): [Bug 3613609]: Replace problematic
uses of strcasecmp with a proper UTF-8-aware version. Affects both
[lsearch -nocase] and [lsort -nocase].
2013-05-22 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* doc/file.n: [Bug 3613671]: Added note to portability section on the
fact that [file owned] does not produce useful results on Windows.
2013-05-20 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (DefaultTempDir): [Bug 3613567]: Corrected logic
for checking return code of access() system call, which was inverted.
2013-05-19 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* unix/tcl.m4: Fix for FreeBSD, and remove support for older
* unix/configure: FreeBSD versions. Patch by Pietro Cerutti.
2013-05-18 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompCmdsGR.c: Split tclCompCmds.c again to keep size of
code down.
2013-05-16 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c: Add panic in order to detect incompatible
mingw32 sys/stat.h and sys/time.h headers.
2013-05-13 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* compat/zlib/*: Upgrade to zlib 1.2.8
2013-05-10 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
Optimizations and general bytecode generation improvements.
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileAppendCmd, TclCompileLappendCmd):
(TclCompileReturnCmd): Make these generate bytecode in more cases.
(TclCompileListCmd): Make this able to push a literal when it can.
* generic/tclCompile.c (TclSetByteCodeFromAny, PeepholeOptimize):
Added checks to see if we can apply some simple cross-command-boundary
optimizations, and defined a small number of such optimizations.
(TclCompileScript): Added the special ability to compile the list
command with expansion ([list {*}blah]) into bytecode that does not
call an external command.
2013-05-06 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclStubInit.c: Add support for Cygwin64, which has a 64-bit
* generic/tclDecls.h: "long" type. Binary compatibility with win64
requires that all stub entries use 32-bit long's, therefore the need
for various wrapper functions/macros. For Tcl 9 a better solution is
needed, but that cannot be done without introducing binary
incompatibility.
2013-04-30 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* library/platform/platform.tcl (::platform::LibcVersion):
* library/platform/pkgIndex.tcl: Followup to the 2013-01-30 change.
The RE become too restrictive again. SuSe added a timestamp after the
version. Loosened up a bit. Bumped package to version 1.0.12.
2013-04-29 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileArraySetCmd): Generate better code
when the list of things to set is a literal.
2013-04-25 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclDecls.h: Implement Tcl_NewBooleanObj, Tcl_DbNewBooleanObj
and Tcl_SetBooleanObj as macros using Tcl_NewIntObj, Tcl_DbNewLongObj
and Tcl_SetIntObj. Starting with Tcl 8.5, this is exactly the same, it
only eliminates code duplication.
* generic/tclInt.h: Eliminate use of NO_WIDE_TYPE everywhere: It's
exactly the same as TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG
2013-04-19 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclDecls.h: Implement many Tcl_*Var* functions and
Tcl_GetIndexFromObj as (faster/stack-saving) macros around resp their
Tcl_*Var*2 equivalent and Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct.
2013-04-12 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclDecls.h: Implement Tcl_Pkg* functions as
(faster/stack-saving) macros around Tcl_Pkg*Ex functions.
2013-04-08 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/regc_color.c: [Bug 3610026]: Stop crash when the number of
* generic/regerrs.h: "colors" in a regular expression overflows a
* generic/regex.h: short int. Thanks to Heikki Linnakangas for
* generic/regguts.h: the report and the patch.
* tests/regexp.test:
2013-04-04 Reinhard Max <max@suse.de>
* library/http/http.tcl (http::geturl): Allow URLs that don't have a
path, but a query query, e.g. http://example.com?foo=bar
* Bump the http package to 2.8.7.
2013-03-22 Venkat Iyer <venkat@comit.com>

* tests/fileSystem.test:
2013-03-19 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* win/tclWinFile.c: [Bug 3608360]: Incompatible behaviour of "file
exists".
2013-03-18 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* tests/cmdAH.test (cmdAH-19.12): [Bug 3608360]: Added test to ensure
that we never ever allow [file exists] to do globbing.
2013-03-12 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* unix/tcl.m4: Patch by Andrew Shadura, providing better support for
three architectures they have in Debian.
2013-03-11 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclCompile.c: [Bugs 3607246,3607372]: Unbalanced refcounts

2013-03-06 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/regc_nfa.c: [Bugs 3604074,3606683]: Rewrite of the

to completely eliminate the infinite loop hazard. Thanks to Tom Lane
for the much improved solution.
2013-02-28 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclLiteral.c: Revise TclReleaseLiteral() to tolerate a NULL
interp argument.
* generic/tclCompile.c: Update callers and revise mistaken comments.
* generic/tclProc.c:
2013-02-27 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/regcomp.c: [Bug 3606139]: missing error check allows
* tests/regexp.test: regexp to crash Tcl. Thanks to Tom Lane for
providing the test-case and the patch.
2013-02-26 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* tests/chanio.test (chan-io-28.7): [Bug 3605120]: Stop test from
hanging when run standalone.
2013-02-26 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclObj.c: Don't panic if Tcl_ConvertToType is called for a
type that doesn't have a setFromAnyProc, create a proper error message.
2013-02-25 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* tests/binary.test (binary-41.*): [Bug 3605721]: Test independence
fixes. Thanks to Rolf Ade for pointing out the problem.
2013-02-25 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* tests/assocd.test: [Bugs 3605719,3605720]: Test independence.
* tests/basic.test: Thanks Rolf Ade for patches.
2013-02-23 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* compat/fake-rfc2553.c: [Bug 3599194]: compat/fake-rfc2553.c is
broken.
2013-02-22 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclAssembly.c: Shift more burden of smart cleanup

Stop crashes when the hookProc raises an error.
2013-02-20 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclNamesp.c: [Bug 3605447]: Make sure the -clear option
* tests/namespace.test: to [namespace export] always clears, whether
or not new export patterns are specified.
2013-02-20 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* win/tclWinDde.c: [Bug 3605401]: Compiler error with latest mingw-w64
headers.
2013-02-19 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

2013-02-14 Harald Oehlmann <oehhar@users.sf.net>
* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl: [Bug 3604576]: Catch missing registry
entry "HCU\Control Panel\International".
Bumped msgcat version to 1.5.1
2013-02-11 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclZlib.c (ZlibTransformOutput): [Bug 3603553]: Ensure that
data gets written to the underlying stream by compressing transforms
when the amount of data to be written is one buffer's-worth; problem
was particularly likely to occur when compressing large quantities of
not-very-compressible data. Many thanks to Piera Poggio (vampiera) for
reporting.
2013-02-09 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclOOBasic.c (TclOO_Object_VarName): [Bug 3603695]: Change
the way that the 'varname' method is implemented so that there are no
longer problems with interactions due to the resolver. Thanks to
Taylor Venable <tcvena@gmail.com> for identifying the problem.
2013-02-08 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/regc_nfa.c (duptraverse): [Bug 3603557]: Increase the
maximum depth of recursion used when duplicating an automaton in
response to encountering a "wild" RE that hit the previous limit.
Allow the limit (DUPTRAVERSE_MAX_DEPTH) to be set by defining its
value in the Makefile. Problem reported by Jonathan Mills.
2013-02-05 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* win/tclWinFile.c: [Bug 3603434]: Make sure TclpObjNormalizePath()
properly declares "a:/" to be normalized, even when no "A:" drive is
present on the system.
2013-02-05 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclLoadNone.c (TclpLoadMemory): [Bug 3433012]: Added dummy
version of this function to use in the event that a platform thinks it
can load from memory but cannot actually do so due to it being
disabled at configuration time.
2013-02-04 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileArraySetCmd): [Bug 3603163]: Stop
crash in weird case where [eval] is used to make [array set] get
confused about whether there is a local variable table or not. Thanks
to Poor Yorick for identifying a reproducible crashing case.
2013-01-30 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* library/platform/platform.tcl (::platform::LibcVersion): See
* library/platform/pkgIndex.tcl: [Bug 3599098]: Fixed the RE
* unix/Makefile.in: extracting the version to avoid issues with
* win/Makefile.in: recent changes to the glibc banner. Now targeting a
less variable part of the string. Bumped package to version 1.0.11.
2013-01-28 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileArraySetCmd)
(TclCompileArrayUnsetCmd, TclCompileDictAppendCmd)
(TclCompileDictCreateCmd, CompileDictEachCmd, TclCompileDictIncrCmd)
(TclCompileDictLappendCmd, TclCompileDictMergeCmd)
(TclCompileDictUnsetCmd, TclCompileDictUpdateCmd)
(TclCompileDictWithCmd, TclCompileInfoCommandsCmd):
* generic/tclCompCmdsSZ.c (TclCompileStringMatchCmd)
(TclCompileStringMapCmd): Improve the code generation in cases where
full compilation is impossible but a full ensemble invoke is provably
not necessary.
2013-01-26 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* unix/tclUnixCompat.c: [Bug 3601804]: platformCPUID segmentation
fault on Darwin.
2013-01-23 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* library/http/http.tcl (http::geturl): [Bug 2911139]: Do not do vwait
for connect to avoid reentrancy problems (except when operating
without a -command option). Internally, this means that all sockets
created by the http package will always be operated in asynchronous
mode.
2013-01-21 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclInt.decls: Put back Tcl[GS]etStartupScript(Path|FileName)
in private stub table, so extensions using this (like Tk 8.4) will
continue to work in all Tcl 8.x versions. Extensions using this
still cannot be compiled against Tcl 8.6 headers.
2013-01-18 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclPort.h: [Bug 3598300]: unix: tcl.h does not include
sys/stat.h
2013-01-17 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (PushVarName): [Bug 3600328]: Added mechanism
for suppressing compilation of variables when we couldn't cope with
the results. Useful for some [array] subcommands.
* generic/tclEnsemble.c (CompileToCompiledCommand): Must restore the
compilation environment when a command compiler fails.
2013-01-16 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclZlib.c (TclZlibInit): [Bug 3601086]: Register the config
info in the iso8859-1 encoding as that is guaranteed to be present.
2013-01-16 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* Makefile.in: Allow win32 build with -DTCL_NO_DEPRECATED, just as
* generic/tcl.h: in the UNIX build. Define Tcl_EvalObj and
* generic/tclDecls.h: Tcl_GlobalEvalObj as macros, even when
* generic/tclBasic.c: TCL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, so Tk can benefit
from it too.
2013-01-14 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* win/tcl.m4: More flexible search for win32 tclConfig.sh, backported
from TEA (not actually used in Tcl, only for Tk)
2013-01-14 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclInt.decls: Put back Tcl_[GS]etStartupScript in internal
stub table, so extensions using this, compiled against 8.5 headers
still run in Tcl 8.6.
2013-01-13 Alexandre Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>
* doc/fileevent.n: [Bug 3436609]: Clarify readable fileevent "false
positives" in the case of multibyte encodings/transforms.
2013-01-13 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclIntDecls.h: If TCL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, make sure
that TIP #139 functions all are taken from the public stub table, even
if the inclusion is through tclInt.h.
2013-01-12 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclInt.decls: Put back TclBackgroundException in internal
stub table, so extensions using this, compiled against 8.5 headers
still run in Tcl 8.6.
2013-01-09 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* library/http/http.tcl: [Bug 3599395]: http assumes status line is a
proper Tcl list.
2013-01-08 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* win/tclWinFile.c: [Bug 3092089]: [file normalize] can remove path
components. [Bug 3587096]: win vista/7: "can't find init.tcl" when
called via junction without folder list access.
2013-01-07 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclOOStubLib.c: Restrict the stub library to only use
* generic/tclTomMathStubLib.c: Tcl_PkgRequireEx, Tcl_ResetResult and
Tcl_AppendResult, not any other function. This puts least restrictions
on eventual Tcl 9 stubs re-organization, and it works on the widest
range of Tcl versions.
2013-01-06 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* library/http/http.tcl: Don't depend on Spencer-specific regexp
* tests/env.test: syntax (/u and /U) any more in unrelated places.
* tests/exec.test:
Bump http package to 2.8.6.
2013-01-04 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclEnsemble.c (CompileBasicNArgCommand): Added very simple
compiler (which just compiles to a normal invoke of the implementation
command) for many ensemble subcommands where we can prove that there
is no way for scripts to detect the difference even through error
handling or [info level]/[info frame]. This improves the code produced
from some ensembles (e.g., [info], [string]) to the point where the
ensemble is now not normally seen at the bytecode level at all.
2013-01-04 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclInt.h: Insure that PURIFY builds cannot exploit the
* generic/tclExecute.c: Tcl stack to hide mem defects.
2013-01-03 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* doc/fconfigure.n, doc/CrtChannel.3: Updated to reflect the fact that
the minimum buffer size is one byte, not ten. Identified by Schelte
Bron on the Tcler's Chat.
* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBCresume:INST_INVOKE_REPLACE):
* generic/tclEnsemble.c (TclCompileEnsemble): Added new mechanism to
allow for more efficient dispatch of non-bytecode-compiled subcommands
of bytecode-compiled ensembles. This can provide substantial speed
benefits in some cases.
2013-01-02 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclEnsemble.c: Remove stray calls to Tcl_Alloc and friends:
* generic/tclExecute.c: the core should only use ckalloc to allow
* generic/tclIORTrans.c: MEM_DEBUG to work properly.
* generic/tclTomMathInterface.c:
2012-12-31 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* doc/string.n: Noted the obsolescence of the 'bytelength',
'wordstart' and 'wordend' subcommands, and moved them to later in the
file.
2012-12-27 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclListObj.c: [Bug 3598580]: Tcl_ListObjReplace may release
deleted elements too early.
2012-12-22 Alexandre Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclUtil.c: [Bug 3598150]: Stop leaking allocated space when
objifying a zero-length DString. Spotted by afredd.
2012-12-21 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* unix/dltest/pkgb.c: Inline compat Tcl_GetDefaultEncodingDir.
* generic/tclStubLib.c: Eliminate unnecessary static HasStubSupport()
and isDigit() functions, just do the same inline.
2012-12-18 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompCmdsSZ.c (TclSubstCompile): Improved the sequence of
instructions issued for [subst] when dealing with simple variable
references.
2012-12-14 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
*** 8.6.0 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
* changes: updates for 8.6.0
2012-12-13 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclZlib.c: Repair same issue with misusing the
* tests/zlib.test: 'fire and forget' nature of Tcl_ObjSetVar2
in the new TIP 400 implementation.
2012-12-13 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCmdAH.c: (CatchObjCmdCallback): do not decrRefCount
* tests/cmdAH.test: the newValuePtr sent to Tcl_ObjSetVar2:
TOSV2 is 'fire and forget', it decrs on its own.
Fix for [Bug 3595576], found by andrewsh.
2012-12-13 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tcl.h: Fix Tcl_DecrRefCount macro such that it doesn't
access its objPtr parameter twice any more.
2012-12-11 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tcl.h: Bump version number to 8.6.0.

2012-12-10 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl (plus-pkgs): Increased robustness of
version number detection code to deal with packages whose names are
prefixes of other packages.
* unix/Makefile.in (dist): Added pkgs/package.list.txt to distribution
builds to ensure that 'make html' will work better.
2012-12-09 Alexandre Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>
* tests/chan.test: Clean up unwanted eofchar side-effect of chan-4.6
leading to a spurious "'" at end of chan.test under certain conditions
(see [Bug 3389289] and [Bug 3389251]).
* doc/expr.n: [Bug 3594188]: Clarifications about commas.
2012-12-08 Alexandre Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>

when there are unflushed nonblocking channels. Thanks Miguel for
spotting.
2012-12-07 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* unix/dltest/pkgb.c: Turn pkgb.so into a Tcl9 interoperability test
library: Whatever Tcl9 looks like, loading pkgb.so in Tcl 9 should
either result in an error-message, either succeed, but never crash.
2012-11-28 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclZlib.c (ZlibStreamSubcmd): [Bug 3590483]: Use a mechanism
for complex option resolution that has fewer problems with more
finicky compilers.
2012-11-26 Reinhard Max <max@suse.de>
* unix/tclUnixSock.c: Factor out creation of the -sockname and
-peername lists from TcpGetOptionProc() to TcpHostPortList(). Make it
robust against implementations of getnameinfo() that error out if
reverse mapping fails instead of falling back to the numeric
representation.
2012-11-20 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBinary.c (BinaryDecode64): [Bug 3033307]: Corrected
handling of trailing whitespace when decoding base64. Thanks to Anton
Kovalenko for reporting, and Andy Goth for the fix and tests.
2012-11-19 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_STR_RANGE_IMM): [Bug 3588366]: Corrected
implementation of bounds restriction for end-indexed compiled [string
range]. Thanks to Emiliano Gavilan for diagnosis and fix.
2012-11-15 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#416
New Options for 'load': -global and -lazy
* generic/tcl.h:
* generic/tclLoad.c
* unix/tclLoadDl.c
* unix/tclLoadDyld.c
* tests/load.test
* doc/Load.3
* doc/load.n
2012-11-14 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (TclUnixOpenTemporaryFile): [Bug 2933003]: Factor
out all the code to do temporary file creation so that it is possible
to make it correct in one place. Allow overriding of the back-stop
default temporary file location at compile time by setting the
TCL_TEMPORARY_FILE_DIRECTORY #def to a string containing the directory
name (defaults to "/tmp" as that is the most common default).
2012-11-13 Joe Mistachkin <joe@mistachkin.com>
* win/tclWinInit.c: also search for the library directory (init.tcl,
encodings, etc) relative to the build directory associated with the
source checkout.
2012-11-10 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c: re-enable bcc-tailcall, after fixing an
* generic/tclExecute.c: infinite loop in the TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG mode

2012-11-06 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* library/http/http.tcl (http::Finish): [Bug 3581754]: Ensure that
callbacks are done at most once to prevent problems with timeouts on a
keep-alive connection (combined with reentrant http package use)
causing excessive stack growth. Not a fix for the underlying problem,
but ensures that pain will be mostly kept away from users.
Bump http package to 2.8.5.
2012-11-05 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
Added bytecode compilation of many Tcl commands. Some of these are
total compilations and some are only partial (i.e., only compile in
some cases). The (sub-)commands affected are:
* array: exists, set, unset
* dict: create, exists, merge
* format: (simple cases only)
* info: commands, coroutine, level, object
* info object: class, isa object, namespace
* namespace: current, code, qualifiers, tail, which
* regsub: (only cases convertable to simple [string map])
* self: (only no-argument and [self object] cases)
* string: first, last, map, range
* tailcall:
* yield:
[This was work originally done on the 'dkf-compile-misc-info' branch.]
2012-11-05 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#413
Align the [string trim] and [string is space] commands, such that
[string trim] by default trims all characters for which [string is
space] returns 1, augmented with the NUL character.
* generic/tclUtf.c: Add NEL, BOM and two more characters to [string is
space]
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Modify [string trim] for Unicode modifications.
* generic/regc_locale.c: Regexp engine must match [string is space]
* doc/string.n
* tests/string.test
***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
Code that relied on characters not previously trimmed being not
removed will notice a difference; it is believed that this is rare,
but a workaround to get the behavior in Tcl 8.5 is to use " \t\n\r" as
an explicit trim set.
2012-10-31 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* win/Makefile.in: Dde version number to 1.4.0, ready for Tcl 8.6.0rc1
* win/makefile.vc
* win/tclWinDde.c
* library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl
* tests/winDde.test
2012-10-24 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictUnsetCmd): Added compilation of
the [dict unset] command (for scalar var in LVT only).
2012-10-23 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclInt.h: Add "flags" parameter from Tcl_LoadFile to
* generic/tclIOUtil.c: to various internal functions, so these
* generic/tclLoadNone.c: flags are available through the whole
* unix/tclLoad*.c: filesystem for (future) internal use.
* win/tclWinLoad.c:
2012-10-17 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c (TclNRCoroutineObjCmd): insure that numlevels
are properly set, fix bug discovered by dkf and reported at
http://code.activestate.com/lists/tcl-core/12213/
2012-10-16 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#405
New commands for applying a transformation to the elements of a list
to produce another list (the [lmap] command) and to the mappings of a
dictionary to produce another dictionary (the [dict map] command). In
both cases, a [continue] will cause the skipping of an element/pair,
and a [break] will terminate the construction early and successfully.
* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_LmapObjCmd, TclNRLmapCmd): Implementation of
the new [lmap] command, based on (and sharing much of) [foreach].
* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictMapNRCmd): Implementation of the new [dict
map] subcommand, based on (and sharing much of) [dict for].
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileLmapCmd, TclCompileDictMapCmd):
Compilation engines for [lmap] and [dict map].
IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#400
* generic/tclZlib.c: Allow the specification of a compression
dictionary (a binary blob used to seed the compression engine) in both
streams and channel transformations. Also some reorganization to allow
for getting gzip header dictionaries and controlling buffering levels
in channel transformations (allowing a trade-off between formal
correctness and speed).
(Tcl_ZlibStreamSetCompressionDictionary): New C API to allow setting
the compression dictionary without using a Tcl script.
2012-10-14 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclDictObj.c: [Bug 3576509]: ::tcl::Bgerror crashes with
* generic/tclEvent.c: invalid arguments. Better fix, which helps
for all Tcl_DictObjGet() calls in Tcl's source code.
2012-10-13 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclEvent.c: [Bug 3576509]: tcl::Bgerror crashes with invalid
arguments
2012-10-06 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* win/Makefile.in: [Bug 2459774]: tcl/win/Makefile.in not compatible
with msys 0.8.
2012-10-03 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclIO.c: When checking for std channels being closed,
compare the channel state, not the channel itself so that stacked
channels do not cause trouble.
2012-09-26 Reinhard Max <max@suse.de>
* generic/tclIOSock.c (TclCreateSocketAddress): Work around a bug in
getaddrinfo() on OSX that caused name resolution to fail for [socket
-server foo -myaddr localhost 0].
2012-09-20 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* win/configure.in: New import libraries for zlib 1.2.7, usable for
* win/configure: all win32/win64 compilers
* compat/zlib/win32/zdll.lib:
* compat/zlib/win64/zdll.lib:
* win/tclWinDde.c: [FRQ 3527238]: Full unicode support for dde. Dde
version is now 1.4.0b2.
***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
2012-09-19 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tcl.h: Make Tcl_Interp a fully opaque structure if
TCL_NO_DEPRECATED is set (TIP 330 and 336).
* win/nmakehlp.c: Let "nmakehlp -V" start searching digits after the
found match (suggested by Harald Oehlmann).
2012-09-19 Harald Oehlmann <oehhar@users.sf.net>
IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#412.
* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl: dynamic locale change with mc file
* library/clock.tcl: load on locale change.
clock uses new msgcat features.
2012-09-07 Harald Oehlmann <oehhar@users.sf.net>
*** 8.6b3 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#404.

when the last component is the empty string.
2012-08-20 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* win/tclWinPort.h: Remove wrapper macro for ntohs(): unnecessary,
because it doesn't require an initialized winsock_2 library. See:

in the thread exit handler for the filesystem subsystem.
2012-07-31 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_GetInterpPath):

but use tclsh86.exe in combination with tcltest86.dll to do that.
* tests/*.test: load tcltest86.dll if necessary.
2012-07-28 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

pipe driver to its fate when needed to honour TIP#398.
2012-07-24 Trevor Davel <twylite@crypt.co.za>
* win/tclWinSock.c: [Bug: 3545363]: Loop over multiple underlying file
descriptors for a socket where required (TcpCloseProc, SocketProc).

one place. Fix memory leak in socket close (TcpCloseProc) and related
dangling pointers in SocketEventProc.
2012-07-19 Reinhard Max <max@suse.de>

* tests/winDde.test: Add test-case (winDde-9.4) for transferring
null-strings with dde. Convert tests to tcltest-2 syntax.
2012-06-06 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclZlib.c (TclZlibInit): Declare that Tcl is publishing the
zlib package (version 2.0) as part of its bootstrap process. This will
have an impact on tclkit (which includes zlib 1.1) but otherwise be
very low impact.
2012-06-06 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* unix/tclUnixInit.c: On Cygwin, use win32 API in stead of uname()
to determine the tcl_platform variables.
2012-05-31 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclZlib.c: [Bug 3530536]: zlib-7.4 fails on IRIX64
* tests/zlib.test:
* doc/zlib.n: Document that [stream checksum] doesn't do
what's expected for "inflate" and "deflate" formats
2012-05-31 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* library/safe.tcl (safe::AliasFileSubcommand): Don't assume that
slaves have corresponding commands, as that is not true for
sub-subinterpreters (used in Tk's test suite).
* doc/safe.n: [Bug 1997845]: Corrected formatting so that generated
HTML can link properly.
* tests/socket.test (socket*-13.1): Prevented intermittent test
failure due to race condition.
2012-05-29 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>

2012-05-28 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* library/safe.tcl (safe::AliasFileSubcommand): [Bug 3529949]: Made a
more sophisticated method for preventing information leakage; it
changes references to "~user" into "./~user", which is safe.
2012-05-25 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* doc/namespace.n, doc/Ensemble.3: [Bug 3528418]: Document what is
going on with respect to qualification of command prefixes in ensemble
subcommand maps.
* generic/tclIO.h (SYNTHETIC_EVENT_TIME): Factored out the definition
of the amount of time that should be waited before firing a synthetic
event on a channel.
2012-05-25 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* win/tclWinDde.c: [Bug 473946]: Special characters were not correctly
sent, now for XTYP_EXECUTE as well as XTYP_REQUEST.

* generic/tcl*Decls.h: re-generated
* generic/tclStubInit.c: Implement TclpIsAtty, Cygwin only.
* doc/dde.n: Doc fix: "dde execute iexplore" doesn't work
without -async, because iexplore doesn't return a value
2012-05-24 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* tools/genStubs.tcl: Let cygwin share stub table with win32
* win/tclWinSock.c: implement TclpInetNtoa for win32
* generic/tclInt.decls: Revert most of [3caedf05df], since when
we let cygwin share the win32 stub table this is no longer necessary
* generic/tcl*Decls.h: re-generated
* doc/dde.n: 1.3 -> 1.4
2012-05-23 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclZlib.c (ZlibTransformInput): [Bug 3525907]: Ensure that
decompressed input is flushed through the transform correctly when the
input stream gets to the end. Thanks to Alexandre Ferrieux and Andreas
Kupries for their work on this.
2012-05-21 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclFileName.c: When using Tcl_SetObjLength() calls to
* generic/tclPathObj.c: grow and shrink the objPtr->bytes
buffer, care must be taken that the value cannot possibly become pure
Unicode. Calling Tcl_AppendToObj() has the possibility of making such
a conversion. Bug found while valgrinding the trunk.
2012-05-21 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#106
* win/tclWinDde.c: Added encoding-related abilities to
* library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl: the [dde] command. The dde package's
* tests/winDde.test: version is now 1.4.0.
* doc/dde.n:
2012-05-20 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclOOBasic.c (TclOO_Class_Constructor): [Bug 2023112]: Cut
the amount of hackiness in class constructors, and refactor some of
the error message handling from [oo::define] to be saner in the face
of odd happenings.
2012-05-17 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SwitchObjCmd): [Bug 3106532]: Corrected
resulting indexes from -indexvar option to be usable with [string
range]; this was always the intention (and is consistent with [regexp
-indices] too).
***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
Uses of [switch -regexp -indexvar] that previously compensated for the
wrong offsets (by subtracting 1 from the end indices) now do not need
to do so as the value is correct.
* library/safe.tcl (safe::InterpInit): Ensure that the module path is
constructed in the correct order.
(safe::AliasGlob): [Bug 2964715]: More extensive handling of what
globbing is required to support package loading.
* doc/expr.n: [Bug 3525462]: Corrected statement about what happens
when comparing "0y" and "0x12"; the previously documented behavior was
actually a subtle bug (now long-corrected).
2012-05-16 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCmdAH.c (TclMakeFileCommandSafe): [Bug 3445787]: Improve
the compatibility of safe interpreters' version of 'file' with that of
unsafe interpreters.
* library/safe.tcl (::safe::InterpInit): Teach the safe-interp scripts
about how to expose 'file' properly.
2012-05-13 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* win/tclWinDde.c: Protect against receiving strings without ending
\0, as external applications (or Tcl with TIP #106) could generate
that.
2012-05-10 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* win/tclWinDde.c: [Bug 473946]: Special characters not correctly sent
* library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl: Increase version to 1.3.3
2012-05-10 Alexandre Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>
* {win,unix}/configure{,.in}: [Bug 2812981]: Clean up bundled
packages' build directory from within Tcl's ./configure, to avoid
stale configuration.
2012-05-09 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* generic/tclIORChan.c: [Bug 3522560]: Fixed the crash, enabled the
test case. Modified [chan postevent] to properly inject the event(s)
into the owner thread's event queue for execution in the correct
context. Renamed the ForwardOpTo...Thread() function to match with our
terminology.
* tests/ioCmd.test: [Bug 3522560]: Added a test which crashes the core
if it were not disabled as knownBug. For a reflected channel
transfered to a different thread the [chan postevent] run in the
handler thread tries to execute the owner threads's fileevent scripts
by itself, wrongly reaching across thread boundaries.
2012-04-28 Alexandre Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclIO.c: Properly close nonblocking channels even when
not flushing them.
2012-05-03 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* compat/zlib/*: Upgrade to zlib 1.2.7 (pre-built dll is still 1.2.5,
will be upgraded as soon as the official build is available)
2012-05-03 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* tests/socket.test: [Bug 3428754]: Test socket-14.2 tolerate
[socket -async] connection that connects synchronously.
* unix/tclUnixSock.c: [Bug 3428753]: Fix [socket -async] connections
that manage to connect synchronously.
2012-05-02 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/configure.in: Better detection and implementation for
* generic/configure: cpuid instruction on Intel-derived
* generic/tclUnixCompat.c: processors, both 32-bit and 64-bit.
* generic/tclTest.c: Move cpuid testcase from win-specific to
* win/tclWinTest.c: generic tests, as it should work on all
* tests/platform.test: Intel-related platforms now.
2012-04-30 Alexandre Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>
* tests/ioCmd.test: [Bug 3522560]: Tame deadlocks in broken refchan
tests.
2012-04-28 Alexandre Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>
IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#398
* generic/tclIO.c: Quickly Exit with Non-Blocking Blocked Channels

* doc/close.n : (compat flag available)
2012-04-27 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
2012-04-27 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>

* generic/tclTest.c:
* unix/tclUnixChan.c:
2012-04-25 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclUtil.c (TclDStringToObj): Added internal function to make
the fairly-common operation of converting a DString into an Obj a more
efficient one; for long strings, it can just transfer the ownership of
the buffer directly. Replaces this:
obj=Tcl_NewStringObj(Tcl_DStringValue(&ds),Tcl_DStringLength(&ds));
Tcl_DStringFree(&ds);
with this:
obj=TclDStringToObj(&ds);
2012-04-24 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclInt.decls: [Bug 3508771]: load tclreg.dll in cygwin

2012-04-16 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* doc/FileSystem.3 (Tcl_FSOpenFileChannelProc): [Bug 3518244]: Fixed
documentation of this filesystem callback function; it must not
register its created channel - that's the responsibility of the caller
of Tcl_FSOpenFileChannel - as that leads to reference leaks.
2012-04-15 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclEnsemble.c (NsEnsembleImplementationCmdNR):
* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSEvalFileEx): Cut out levels of the C
stack by going direct to the relevant internal evaluation function.
* generic/tclZlib.c (ZlibTransformSetOption): [Bug 3517696]: Make
flushing work correctly in a pushed compressing channel transform.
2012-04-12 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

* win/tcl.m4: only in debug compilation.
* win/configure:
* unix/tcl.m4: Use NDEBUG consistantly meaning: no debugging.
* unix/configure:
* generic/tclBasic.c:
* library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl: Use [::tcl::pkgconfig get debug] instead
* library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl: of [info exists ::tcl_platform(debug)]
2012-04-10 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tcl.h (TCL_DEPRECATED_API): [Bug 2458976]: Added macro that
can be used to mark parts of Tcl's API as deprecated. Currently only
used for fields of Tcl_Interp, which TIPs 330 and 336 have deprecated
with a migration strategy; we want to encourage people to move away
from those fields.
2012-04-09 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclOODefineCmds.c (ClassVarsSet, ObjVarsSet): [Bug 3396896]:
Ensure that the lists of variable names used to drive variable
resolution will never have the same name twice.
* generic/tclVar.c (AppendLocals): [Bug 2712377]: Fix problem with
reporting of declared variables in methods. It's really a problem with
how [info vars] interacts with variable resolvers; this is just a bit
of a hack so it is no longer a big problem.
2012-04-04 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclOO.c (Tcl_NewObjectInstance, TclNRNewObjectInstance):
[Bug 3514761]: Fixed bogosity with automated argument description
handling when constructing an instance of a class that is itself a
member of an ensemble. Thanks to Andreas Kupries for identifying that
this was a problem case at all!
(Tcl_CopyObjectInstance): Fix potential bleed-over of ensemble
information into [oo::copy].
2012-04-04 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
2012-04-02 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#396.
* generic/tclBasic.c (builtInCmds, TclNRYieldToObjCmd): Convert the
formerly-unsupported yieldm and yieldTo commands into [yieldto].
2012-04-02 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclInt.decls: [Bug 3508771]: load tclreg.dll in cygwin tclsh
* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: Implement TclWinGetTclInstance,
* generic/tclStubInit.c: TclpGetTZName, and various more
win32-specific internal functions for Cygwin, so win32 extensions
using those can be loaded in the cygwin version of tclsh.
2012-03-30 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* unix/tcl.m4: [Bug 3511806]: Compiler checks too early
* unix/configure.in: This change allows to build the cygwin and
* unix/tclUnixPort.h: mingw32 ports of Tcl/Tk to build out-of-the-box
* win/tcl.m4: using a native or cross-compiler.
* win/configure.in:
* win/tclWinPort.h:
* win/README Document how to build win32 or win64 executables
with Linux, Cygwin or Darwin.
2012-03-29 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (StringIsCmd): Faster mem-leak free
implementation of [string is entier].
2012-03-27 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#395.
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (StringIsCmd): Implementation of the [string is
entier] check. Code by Jos Decoster.
2012-03-27 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tcl.h: [Bug 3508771]: Wrong Tcl_StatBuf used on MinGW.
* generic/tclFCmd.c: [Bug 2015723]: Duplicate inodes from file stat
* generic/tclCmdAH.c: on windows (but now for cygwin as well).
* generic/tclOODefineCmds.c: minor gcc warning
* win/tclWinPort.h: Use lower numbers, preventing integer overflow.
Remove the workaround for mingw-w64 [Bug 3407992]. It's long fixed.
2012-03-27 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#397.
* generic/tclOO.c (Tcl_CopyObjectInstance): [Bug 3474460]: Make the
target object name optional when copying classes. [RFE 3485060]: Add
callback method ("<cloned>") so that scripted control over copying is
easier.
***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
If you'd previously been using the "<cloned>" method name, this now
has a standard semantics and call interface. Only a problem if you are
also using [oo::copy].
2012-03-26 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#380.
* doc/define.n, doc/object.n, generic/tclOO.c, generic/tclOOBasic.c:
* generic/tclOOCall.c, generic/tclOODefineCmds.c, generic/tclOOInt.h:
* tests/oo.test: Switch definitions of lists of things in objects and
classes to a slot-based approach, which gives a lot more flexibility
and programmability at the script-level. Introduce new [::oo::Slot]
class which is the implementation of these things.
***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
The unknown method handler now may be asked to deal with the case
where no method name is provided at all. The default implementation
generates a compatible error message, and any override that forces the
presence of a first argument (i.e., a method name) will continue to
function as at present as well, so this is a pretty small change.
* generic/tclOOBasic.c (TclOO_Object_Destroy): Made it easier to do a
tailcall inside a normally-invoked destructor; prevented leakage out
to calling command.
2012-03-25 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclInt.decls: [Bug 3508771]: load tclreg.dll in cygwin

2012-03-23 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclInt.decls: Revert some cygwin-related signature
* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: changes from [835f8e1e9d] (2010-01-22).
* win/tclWinError.c: They were an attempt to make the cygwin
port compile again, but since cygwin is
based on unix this serves no purpose any
more.
* win/tclWinSerial.c: Use EAGAIN in stead of EWOULDBLOCK,
* win/tclWinSock.c: because in VS10+ the value of
EWOULDBLOCK is no longer the same as
EAGAIN.
* unix/Makefile.in: Add tclWinError.c to the CYGWIN build.
* unix/tcl.m4:
* unix/configure:

2011-11-20 Joe Mistachkin <joe@mistachkin.com>
* tests/thread.test: Remove unnecessary [after] calls from the thread
tests. Make error message matching more robust for tests that may
have built-in race conditions. Test thread-7.26 must first unset all
thread testing related variables. Revise results of the thread-7.28
through thread-7.31 tests to account for the fact they are canceled
via a script sent to the thread asynchronously, which then impacts the
error message handling. Attempt to manually drain the event queue for
the main thread after joining the test thread to make sure no stray
events are processed at the wrong time on the main thread. Revise all
the synchronization and comparison semantics related to the thread id
and error message.
2011-11-18 Joe Mistachkin <joe@mistachkin.com>
* tests/thread.test: Remove all use of thread::release from the thread
7.x tests, replacing it with a script that can easily cause "stuck"
threads to self-destruct for those test cases that require it. Also,
make the error message handling far more robust by keeping track of
every asynchronous error.
2011-11-17 Joe Mistachkin <joe@mistachkin.com>
* tests/thread.test: Refactor all the remaining thread-7.x tests that
were using [testthread]. Note that this test file now requires the
very latest version of the Thread package to pass all tests. In
addition, the thread-7.18 and thread-7.19 tests have been flagged as
knownBug because they cannot pass without modifications to the [expr]
command, persuant to TIP #392.

2011-09-27 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_ParseArgsObjv): [Bug 3413857]: Corrected

macro in passing.
2011-09-26 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCmdAH.c (TclMakeFileCommandSafe): [Bug 3211758]: Also

which the code breaks, but not necessarily eliminate it...
2011-09-23 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclIORTrans.c: More revisions to get finalization of
ReflectedTransforms correct, including adopting a "dead" field as was
done in tclIORChan.c.
* tests/thread.test: Stop using the deprecated thread management
commands of the tcltest package. The test suite ought to provide
these tools for itself. They do not belong in a testing harness.
2011-09-22 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

data structures even when the thread exits for reasons other than the
[testthread exit] command.
2011-09-21 Alexandre Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>

initialization of the 'dsti' field. Reported by Don Porter, on chat.
2011-09-20 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclIORChan.c: Re-using the "interp" field to signal a dead
channel (via NULL value) interfered with conditional cleanup tasks
testing for "the right interp". Added a new field "dead" to perform
the dead channel signalling task so the corrupted logic is avoided.
* generic/tclIORTrans.c: Revised ReflectClose() and
FreeReflectedTransform() so that we stop leaking ReflectedTransforms,
yet free all Tcl_Obj values in the same thread that alloced them.
2011-09-19 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* tests/ioTrans.test: Conversion from [testthread] to Thread package
stops most memory leaks.
* tests/thread.test: Plug most memory leaks in thread.test.
Constrain the rest to be skipped during `make valgrind'. Tests using
the [testthread cancel] testing command are leaky. Corrections wait
for either addition of [thread::cancel] to the Thread package, or
improvements to the [testthread] testing command to make leak-free
versions of these tests possible.
* generic/tclIORChan.c: Plug all memory leaks in ioCmd.test exposed
* tests/ioCmd.test: by `make valgrind'.

Merge from rmax-ipv6-branch:
* unix/tclUnixSock.c: Fix [socket -async], so that all addresses
returned by getaddrinfo() are tried, not just the first one. This
requires the event loop to be running while the async connection is in
progress. ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
* tests/socket.test: Add a test for the above.

* generic/tclExecute.c: Reverted the fix for [Bug 3274728] committed
on 2011-04-06 and replaced with one which is 64bit-safe. The existing
fix crashed tclsh on Windows 64bit.
2011-06-08 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* tests/fileSystem.test: Reduce the amount of use of duplication of
complex code to perform common tests, and convert others to do the
test result check directly using Tcltest's own primitives.
2011-06-06 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* tests/socket.test: Add test constraint, so 6.2 and 6.3 don't fail
when the machine does not have support for ip6. Follow-up to checkin
from 2011-05-11 by rmax.
2011-06-02 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c: Removed TclCleanupLiteralTable(), and old
* generic/tclInt.h: band-aid routine put in place while a fix for
* generic/tclLiteral.c: [Bug 994838] took shape. No longer needed.
2011-06-02 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclInt.h (TclInvalidateNsCmdLookup): [Bug 3185407]: Extend
the set of epochs that are potentially bumped when a command is
created, for a slight performance drop (in some circumstances) and
improved semantics.
2011-06-01 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

2011-05-31 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclInt.h: Use a complete growth algorithm for lists so
* generic/tclListObj.c: that length limits do not overconstrain by a

* generic/tclUtil.c: rooting all growth routines by default on a
common tunable parameter TCL_MIN_GROWTH.

2011-05-24 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl (msgcat::mcset, msgcat::mcmset): Remove
some useless code; [dict set] builds dictionary levels for us.
2011-05-17 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* generic/tclCompile.c (TclFixupForwardJump): Tracked down and fixed
* generic/tclBasic.c (TclArgumentBCEnter): the cause of a violation of
my assertion that 'ePtr->nline == objc' in TclArgumentBCEnter. When a
bytecode was grown during jump fixup the pc -> command line mapping
was not updated. When things aligned just wrong the mapping would
direct command A to the data for command B, with a different number of
arguments.
2011-05-11 Reinhard Max <max@suse.de>
* unix/tclUnixSock.c (TcpWatchProc): No need to check for server
sockets here, as the generic server code already takes care of that.
* tests/socket.test (accept): Add tests to make sure that this remains
so.
2011-05-10 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclInt.h: New internal routines TclScanElement() and
* generic/tclUtil.c: TclConvertElement() are rewritten guts of

path] and [package versions].
2011-05-09 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclListObj.c: Revise empty string tests so that we avoid
potentially expensive string rep generations, especially for dicts.
2011-05-07 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclLoad.c (TclGetLoadedPackages): Convert to use Tcl_Obj API

2011-05-05 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclListObj.c: Stop generating string rep of dict when
converting to list. Tolerate NULL interps more completely.
2011-05-03 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclUtil.c: Tighten Tcl_SplitList().
* generic/tclListObj.c: Tighten SetListFromAny().

* tests/join.test:

2011-05-02 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Revised TclFindElement() interface. The final
* generic/tclDictObj.c: argument had been bracePtr, the address of a
* generic/tclListObj.c: boolean var, where the caller can be told
* generic/tclParse.c: whether or not the parsed list element was
* generic/tclUtil.c: enclosed in braces. In practice, no callers
really care about that. What the callers really want to know is
whether the list element value exists as a literal substring of the
string being parsed, or whether a call to TclCopyAndCollpase() is
needed to produce the list element value. Now the final argument is
changed to do what callers actually need. This is a better fit for the
calls in tclParse.c, where now a good deal of post-processing checking
for "naked backslashes" is no longer necessary.
***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
For any callers calling in via the internal stubs table who really do
use the final argument explicitly to check for the enclosing brace
scenario. Simply looking for the braces where they must be is the
revision available to those callers, and it will backport cleanly.
* tests/parse.test: Tests for expanded literals quoting detection.
* generic/tclCompCmdsSZ.c: New TclFindElement() is also a better
fit for the [switch] compiler.
* generic/tclInt.h: Replace TclCountSpaceRuns() with
* generic/tclListObj.c: TclMaxListLength() which is the function we
* generic/tclUtil.c: actually want.
* generic/tclCompCmdsSZ.c:
* generic/tclCompCmdsSZ.c: Rewrite of parts of the switch compiler to
better use the powers of TclFindElement() and do less parsing on its
own.
2011-04-28 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclInt.h: New utility routines:
* generic/tclParse.c: TclIsSpaceProc() and TclCountSpaceRuns()

* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
* generic/tclStringObj.c: Improved reaction to out of memory.

existing primitives already coded to handle overflow properly. Uses
the new TclTrim*() routines.
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: New internal utility routines TclTrimLeft()

codes ([format], [after], [trace], RE optimizer).
2011-04-04 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCmdAH.c: Better error-message in case of errors
* generic/tclCmdIL.c: related to setting a variable. This fixes

More generation of errorCode information.
2011-03-28 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>

generation of errorCode information, notably when lists are mis-parsed
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegexpObjCmd, Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): Use the
error messages generated by the variable management code rather than
creating our own.
2011-03-27 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c (TclNREvalObjEx): fix performance issue, notably
apparent in tclbench's "LIST lset foreach". Many thanks to Twylite for
patiently researching the issue and explaining it to me: a missing
Tcl_ResetObjResult that causes unwanted sharing of the current result
Tcl_Obj.
2011-03-26 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>

allocation and free macros.
2011-03-24 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclFCmd.c (TclFileAttrsCmd): Ensure that any reference to

around to trip us up in the future.
2011-03-23 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
For extensions which rely on symbols from other extensions being
present in the global symbol table. For an example and some discussion
of workarounds, see http://stackoverflow.com/q/8330614/301832
2011-03-21 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCkAlloc.c:
* generic/tclInt.h: Remove one level of allocator indirection in
non-memdebug builds, imported from mig-alloc-reform.
2011-03-20 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: Imported HAVE_FAST_TSD support from
mig-alloc-reform. The feature has to be enabled by hand: no autoconf
support has been added. It is not clear how universal a build using
this will be: it also requires some loader support.
2011-03-17 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompExpr.c (ParseExpr): Generate errorCode information on
failure to parse expressions.
2011-03-17 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

stuff in (tcl|tk)Main.c.
2011-03-16 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

TCL_MEM_DEBUG builds.
2011-03-16 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c: Some rewrites to eliminate calls to isspace()
* generic/tclParse.c: and their /* INTL */ risk.
* generic/tclProc.c:
2011-03-16 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* unix/tcl.m4: Make SHLIB_LD_LIBS='${LIBS}' the default and

Backported from TEA, but kept all original platform code which was
removed from TEA.
2011-03-14 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
* tools/tclZIC.tcl (onDayOfMonth): Allow for leading zeroes in month
and day so that tzdata2011d parses correctly.

* generic/tclAssembly.c (BBEmitInstInt1): Changed parameter data types
in an effort to silence a MSVC warning reported by Ashok P. Nadkarni.
Unable to test, since both forms work on my machine in VC2005, 2008,
2010, in both release and debug builds.
* tests/tclTest.c (TestdstringCmd): Restored MSVC buildability broken
by [5574bdd262], which changed the effective return type of 'ckalloc'
from 'char*' to 'void*'.
2011-03-13 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclExecute.c: remove TEBCreturn()
2011-03-12 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tcl.h (ckalloc,ckfree,ckrealloc): Moved casts into these
macro so that they work with VOID* (which is a void* on all platforms
which Tcl actually builds on) and unsigned int for the length
parameters, removing the need for MANY casts across the rest of Tcl.
Note that this is a strict source-level-only change, so size_t cannot
be used (would break binary compatibility on 64-bit platforms).

* generic/tclInt.h, generic/tclNamesp.c, library/auto.tcl:
* tests/interp.test, tests/namespace.test, tests/nre.test:
Converted the [namespace] command into an ensemble. This has the
consequence of making it vital for Tcl code that wishes to work with
namespaces to _not_ delete the ::tcl namespace.
***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl (loadIntoSlaveInterpreter): Added this
command to handle connecting tcltest to a slave interpreter. This adds
in the hook (inside the tcltest namespace) that allows the tests run
in the child interpreter to be reported as part of the main sequence
of test results. Bumped version of tcltest to 2.3.3.
* tests/init.test, tests/package.test: Adapted these test files to use
the new feature.

* tests/parse.test: trunction checks in \x and \u substitutions.
2011-03-05 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclExecute.c (TclStackFree): insure that the execStack
satisfies "at most one free stack after the current one" when
consecutive reallocs caused the creation of intervening stacks.
2011-03-05 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>

* generic/tclExecute.c: Cleaner mem management for TEBCdata
* generic/tclExecute.c:
* tests/nre.test: Renamed BottomData to TEBCdata, so that the name
refers to what it is rather than to its storage location.

* generic/tclOOMethod.c (ProcedureMethodCompiledVarConnect)
(ProcedureMethodCompiledVarDelete): [Bug 3185009]: Keep references to

pointers for code to trip over.
2011-03-01 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c (TclNREvalObjv): Missing a variable declaration
in commented out non-optimised code, left for ref in checkin
[b97b771b6d]
2011-03-03 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclResult.c (Tcl_AppendResultVA): Use the directive
USE_INTERP_RESULT [TIP 330] to force compat with interp->result
access, instead of the improvised hack USE_DIRECT_INTERP_RESULT_ACCESS
from releases past.
2011-03-01 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompCmdsSZ.c (TclCompileThrowCmd, TclCompileUnsetCmd):

increase

* generic/tclOOMethod.c (PushMethodCallFrame): [Bug 3001438]: Make
sure that the cmdPtr field of the procPtr is correct and relevant at
all times so that [info frame] can report sensible information about a
frame after a return to it from a recursive call, instead of probably
crashing (depending on what else has overwritten the Tcl stack!)

* tests/util.test (util-16.*): [Bug 3157475]: Restored full Tcl 8.4
compatibility for the formatting of floating point numbers when
$::tcl_precision is not zero. Added compatibility tests to make sure
that excess trailing zeroes are suppressed for all eight major code
paths.
2011-01-12 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* win/tclWinFile.c: Use _vsnprintf in stead of vsnprintf, because
MSVC 6 doesn't have it. Reported by andreask.

* tests/util.test (util-15.*): Added test cases for floating point
conversion of the largest denormal and the smallest normal number, to

couple of days. (They didn't fail, so no actual functional change.)
2011-01-05 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>

(TclFileMakeDirsCmd): Adjust these subcommand implementations to work
inside an ensemble.

2010-12-01 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
* generic/tclStrToD.c (SetPrecisionLimits, TclDoubleDigits):
[Bug 3124675]: Added meaningless initialization of 'i', 'ilim' and
'ilim1' to silence warnings from the C compiler about possible use of
uninitialized variables, Added a panic to the 'switch' that assigns
them, to assert that the 'default' case is impossible.
2010-12-01 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

int->string routine (e.g. int-indexed arrays).
2010-11-29 Alexandre Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c: Patch by Miguel, providing a
[::tcl::unsupported::inject coroname command args], which prepends

* win/Makefile.in:
* win/makefile.vc: Rewrite of Tcl_PrintDouble and TclDoubleDigits that
(a) fixes a severe performance problem with floating point shimmering
reported by Karl Lehenbauer, (b) allows TclDoubleDigits to generate
the digit strings for 'e' and 'f' format, so that it can be used for
tcl_precision != 0 (and possibly later for [format]), (c) fixes [Bug
3120139] by making TclPrintDouble inherently locale-independent, (d)
adds test cases to util.test for correct rounding in difficult cases
of TclDoubleDigits where fixed- precision results are requested. (e)
adds test cases to util.test for the controversial aspects of [Bug
3105247]. As a side effect, two more modules from libtommath
(bn_mp_set_int.c and bn_mp_init_set_int.c) are brought into the build,
since the new code uses them.

2010-11-05 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclMain.c: Thanks, Kevin, for the fix, but this how it was
supposed to be (TCL_ASCII_MAIN is only supposed to be defined on
WIN32).
2010-11-05 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
* generic/tclMain.c: Added missing conditional on _WIN32 around code
that messes around with the definition of _UNICODE, to correct a badly
broken Unix build from Jan's last commit.

2010-11-04 Reinhard Max <max@suse.de>
* tests/socket.test: Run the socket tests three times with the address
family set to any, inet, and inet6 respectively. Use constraints to
skip the tests if a family is found to be unsupported or not
configured on the local machine. Adjust the tests to dynamically adapt
to the address family that is being tested.
Rework some of the tests to speed them up by avoiding (supposedly)
unneeded [after]s.

* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileCatchCmd): [Bug 3098302]:
* tests/compile.test (compile-3.6): Reworked the compilation of the
[catch] command so as to avoid placing any code that might throw an
exception (specifically, any initial substitutions or any stores to
result or options variables) between the BEGIN_CATCH and END_CATCH but
outside the exception range. Added a test case that panics on a stack
smash if the change is not made.
2010-11-01 Stuart Cassoff <stwo@users.sourceforge.net>
* library/safe.tcl: Improved handling of non-standard module path

systems. Thanks Larry Virden.
2010-10-26 Reinhard Max <max@suse.de>
* Changelog.2008: Split off from Changelog.
* generic/tclIOSock.c (TclCreateSocketAddress): The interp != NULL
check is needed for ::tcl::unsupported::socketAF as well.
2010-10-26 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* unix/tclUnixSock.c (TcpGetOptionProc): Prevent crash if interp is
* win/tclWinSock.c (TcpGetOptionProc): NULL (a legal situation).
2010-10-26 Reinhard Max <max@suse.de>
* unix/tclUnixSock.c (TcpGetOptionProc): Added support for
::tcl::unsupported::noReverseDNS, which if set to any value, prevents
[fconfigure -sockname] and [fconfigure -peername] from doing
reverse DNS queries.
2010-10-24 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
[dogeen-assembler-branch]
* generic/tclAssembly.c:
* tests/assembly.test (assemble-17.15): Reworked branch handling so
that forward branches can use jump1 (jumpTrue1, jumpFalse1). Added
test cases that the forward branches will expand to jump4, jumpTrue4,
jumpFalse4 when needed.

* generic/tclCompile.c (tclInstructionTable): of [dict for] so that
* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBCresume): it no longer makes any
use of INST_DICT_DONE now that's not needed, and make it clearer in
the implementation of the instruction that it's just a deprecated form
of unset operation. Followup to my commit of 2010-10-16.
2010-10-19 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclZlib.c (Tcl_ZlibStreamGet): [Bug 3081008]: Ensure that
when a bytearray gets its internals entangled with zlib for more than
a passing moment, that bytearray will never be shimmered away. This
increases the amount of copying but is simple to get right, which is a
reasonable trade-off.
* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_AppendObjToObj): Added some special
cases so that most of the time when you build up a bytearray by
appending, it actually ends up being a bytearray rather than
shimmering back and forth to string.
* tests/http11.test (check_crc): Use a simpler way to express the
functionality of this procedure.
* generic/tclZlib.c: Purge code that wrote to the object returned by
Tcl_GetObjResult, as we don't want to do that anti-pattern no more.

out-of-range chars > 0xFFFF)

2010-09-28 Reinhard Max <max@suse.de>
TIP #162 IMPLEMENTATION
* doc/socket.n: Document the changes to the [socket] and
[fconfigure] commands.
* generic/tclInt.h: Introduce TclCreateSocketAddress() as a
* generic/tclIOSock.c: replacement for the platform-dependent
* unix/tclUnixSock.c: TclpCreateSocketAddress() functions. Extend
* unix/tclUnixChan.c: the [socket] and [fconfigure] commands to
* unix/tclUnixPort.h: behave as proposed in TIP #162. This is the
* win/tclWinSock.c: core of what is required to support the use of
* win/tclWinPort.h: IPv6 sockets in Tcl.
* compat/fake-rfc2553.c: A compat implementation of the APIs defined
* compat/fake-rfc2553.h: in RFC-2553 (getaddrinfo() and friends) on
top of the existing gethostbyname() etc.
* unix/configure.in: Test whether the fake-implementation is
* unix/tcl.m4: needed.
* unix/Makefile.in: Add a compile target for fake-rfc2553.
* win/configure.in: Allow cross-compilation by default.
* tests/socket.test: Improve the test suite to make more use of
* tests/remote.tcl: randomized ports to reduce interference with
tests running in parallel or other services on
the machine.
2010-09-28 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
[dogeen-assembler-branch]
* tests/assemble.test: Added more "white box" tests.
* generic/tclAssembly.c: Added the error checking and reporting
for undefined labels. Revised code so that no pointers into the
bytecode sequence are held (because the sequence can move!),
that no Tcl_HashEntry pointers are held (because the hash table
doesn't guarantee their stability!) and to eliminate the BBHash
table, which is merely additional information indexed by jump
labels and can just as easily be held in the 'label' structure.
Renamed shared structures to CamelCase, and renamed 'label' to
JumpLabel because other types of labels may eventually be possible.

[dogeen-assembler-branch]
* tests/assemble.test: Added more "white box" tests.
* generic/tclAssembly.c: Fixed bugs exposed by the new tests.
(a) [eval] and [expr] had incorrect stack balance computed if
the arg was not a simple word. (b) [concat] accepted a negative
operand count. (c) [invoke] accepted a zero or negative operand
count. (d) more misspelt error messages.
Also replaced a funky NRCallTEBC with the new call
TclNRExecuteByteCode, necessitated by a merge with changes on the
HEAD.
2010-09-26 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c: [Patch 3072080] (minus the itcl
* generic/tclCmdIL.c: update): a saner NRE.
* generic/tclCompExpr.c:
* generic/tclCompile.c: This makes TclNRExecuteByteCode (ex TEBC)
* generic/tclCompile.h: to be a normal NRE citizen: it loses its
* generic/tclExecute.c: special status.
* generic/tclInt.decls: The logic flow within the BC engine is
* generic/tclInt.h: simplified considerably.
* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
* generic/tclObj.c:
* generic/tclProc.c:
* generic/tclTest.c:
* generic/tclVar.c: Use the macro HasLocalVars everywhere
2010-09-26 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclOOMethod.c (ProcedureMethodVarResolver): avoid code
duplication, let the runtime var resolver call the compiled var
resolver.
2010-09-26 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
[dogeen-assembler-branch]
* tests/assemble.test: Added many new tests moving toward a more
comprehensive test suite for the assembler.
* generic/tclAssembly.c: Fixed bugs exposed by the new tests:
(a) [bitnot] and [not] had incorrect operand counts. (b)
INST_CONCAT cannot concatenate zero objects. (c) misspelt error
messages. (d) the "assembly code" internal representation lacked
a duplicator, which caused double-frees of the Bytecode object
if assembly code ever was duplicated.
2010-09-25 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
[dogeen-assembler-branch]
* generic/tclAssembly.c: Massive refactoring of the assembler
* generic/tclAssembly.h: to use a Tcl-like syntax (and use
* tests/assemble.test: Tcl_ParseCommand to parse it). The
* tests/assemble1.bench: refactoring also ensures that
Tcl_Tokens in the assembler have string ranges inside the source
code, which allows for [eval] and [expr] assembler directives
that simply call TclCompileScript and TclCompileExpr recursively.
2010-09-24 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* tests/stringComp.test: improved string eq/cmp test coverage
* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): merge INST_STR_CMP and
INST_STR_EQ/INST_STR_NEQ paths. Speeds up eq/ne/[string eq] with
obj-aware comparisons and eq/==/ne/!= with length equality check.
2010-09-24 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* tclWinsock.c: [Bug 3056775]: Fixed race condition between thread and
internal co-thread access of a socket's structure because of the
thread not using the socketListLock in TcpAccept(). Added
documentation on how the module works to the top.
2010-09-23 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclDecls.h: Make Tcl_SetPanicProc and Tcl_GetStringResult

anti-pattern to seek and destroy.
2010-09-23 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

* win/tclAppInit.c: yet), many clean-ups in comments.
2010-09-22 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclExecute: [Bug 3072640]: One more DECACHE_STACK_INFO() was
missing.
* tests/execute.test: Added execute-10.3 for [Bug 3072640]. The test
causes a mem failure.
* generic/tclExecute: Protect all possible writes to ::errorInfo or
::errorCode with DECACHE_STACK_INFO(), as they could run traces. The
new calls to be protected are Tcl_ResetResult(), Tcl_SetErrorCode(),
IllegalExprOperandType(), TclExprFloatError(). The error was triggered
by [Patch 3072080].
2010-09-22 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* win/tcl.m4: Add kernel32 to LIBS, so the link line for
* win/configure: mingw is exactly the same as for MSVC++.
2010-09-21 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode):

* generic/tclPathObj.c (Tcl_FSGetNormalizedPath, Tcl_FSEqualPaths):
* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclFSCwdPointerEquals): peephole opt
* generic/tclResult.c (TclMergeReturnOptions): Use memcmp where
applicable as possible speedup on some libc variants.

* generic/tclTomMath.decls:
This allows genStubs.tcl to generate the ttk stub files as well, while

2010-09-02 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* doc/glob.n: Fixed documentation ambiguity regarding the handling
of -join.
* library/safe.tcl (safe::AliasGlob): Fixed another problem, the
option -join does not stop option processing in the core builtin, so
the emulation must not do that either.
2010-09-01 Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
* library/safe.tcl (safe::AliasGlob): Moved the command extending the
actual glob command with a -directory flag to when we actually have a
proper untranslated path,
2010-09-01 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>

* generic/tclInt.h (TclIsVarDirectUnsettable): Corrected flags so that
deletion of traces is not optimized out...
* generic/tclExecute.c (ExecuteExtendedBinaryMathOp)
(TclCompareTwoNumbers,ExecuteExtendedUnaryMathOp,TclExecuteByteCode):
[Patch 2981677]: Move the less common arithmetic operations (i.e.,
exponentiation and operations on non-longs) out of TEBC for a big drop
in the overall size of the stack frame for most code. Net effect on
speed is minimal (slightly faster overall in tclbench). Also extended
the number of places where TRESULT handling is replaced with a jump to

no longer necessary.
2010-04-26 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* unix/tclLoadDl.c (FindSymbol): [Bug 2992295]: Added an explicit cast
because auto-casting between function and non-function types is never

* generic/tclIORChan.c (ReflectClose, ReflectInput, ReflectOutput,

destruction of the channel deep inside such a nesting.

* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c, macosx/tclMacOSXFCmd.c:
* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: Reduce the level of ifdeffery in the
functions of these files to improve readability. They need to be
audited for whether complexity can be removed based on the minimum
supported version of OSX, but that requires a real expert.
2010-03-24 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclResult.c: [Bug 2383005]: Revise [return -errorcode] so
* tests/result.test: that it rejects illegal non-list values.
2010-03-24 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclOOInfo.c (InfoObjectMethodTypeCmd)
(InfoClassMethodTypeCmd): Added introspection of method types so that
it is possible to find this info out without using errors.
* generic/tclOOMethod.c (procMethodType): Now that introspection can
reveal the name of method types, regularize the name of normal methods
to be the name of the definition type used to create them.
* tests/async.test (async-4.*): Reduce obscurity of these tests by
putting the bulk of the code for them inside the test body with the
help of [apply].
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TryPostBody, TryPostHandler): Make sure that the
[try] command does not trap unwinding due to limits.
2010-03-23 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

2010-03-23 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Make error message in "try" implementation
* generic/tclCompCmdsSZ.c: exactly the same as the one in "return"
* tests/error.test:
* libtommath/mtests/mpi.c: Single "const" addition
2010-03-22 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: [Bug 2973361]: Compute the correct integer
values to identify the argument indices of the various script
arguments to [try]. Passing in -1 led to invalid memory reads.
2010-03-20 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* doc/exec.n: Make it a bit clearer that there is an option to run a
pipeline in the background.
* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_FcopyObjCmd): Lift the restriction
* generic/tclIO.c (TclCopyChannel, CopyData): on the [fcopy] command
* generic/tclIO.h (CopyState): that forced it to only
copy up to 2GB per script-level callback. Now it is anything that can
fit in a (signed) 64-bit integer. Problem identified by Frederic
Bonnet on comp.lang.tcl. Note that individual low-level reads and
writes are still smaller as the optimal buffer size is smaller.

of result values.
2010-03-17 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* generic/tclIORTrans.c (ReflectInput, ReflectOutput)

calls for preserved ReflectedTransform* structures. Reworked
ReflectInput to preserve the structure for its whole life, not only in
InvokeTclMethod.
* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_GetsObj): [Bug 2921116]: Regenerate topChan,
may have been changed by a self-modifying transformation.
* tests/ioTrans/test (iortrans-4.8, iortrans-4.9, iortrans-5.11)

2010-03-05 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclIORTrans.c (ForwardProc): [Bug 2964425]: When cleaning
the stables, it is sometimes necessary to do more than the minimum. In
this case, rationalizing the variables for a forwarded limit? method
required removing an extra Tcl_DecrRefCount too.
* generic/tclOO.h, generic/tclOOInt.h: [Patch 2961556]: Change TclOO
to use the same style of function typedefs as Tcl, as this is about
the last chance to get this right.
***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
Source code that uses function typedefs from TclOO will need to update
variables and argument definitions so that pointers to the function
values are used instead. Binary compatibility is not affected.
* generic/*.c, generic/tclInt.h, unix/*.c, macosx/*.c: Applied results
of doing a Code Audit. Principal changes:
* Use do { ... } while (0) in macros
* Avoid shadowing one local variable with another
* Use clearer 'foo.bar++;' instead of '++foo.bar;' where result not
required (i.e., semantically equivalent); clarity is increased
because it is bar that is incremented, not foo.
* Follow Engineering Manual rules on spacing and declarations
2010-03-04 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclOO.c (ObjectRenamedTrace): [Bug 2962664]: Add special
handling so that when the class of classes is deleted, so is the class
of objects. Immediately.
* generic/tclOOInt.h (ROOT_CLASS): Add new flag for specially marking
the root class. Simpler and more robust than the previous technique.
2010-03-04 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

(generic/tclIORChan.c). Fixed the documentation to explain that errno
numbers are operating system dependent, and reworked the associated
example.
2010-03-02 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* unix/tcl.m4: [FRQ 2959069]: Support for -fvisibility=hidden
* unix/configure (regenerated with autoconf-2.59)
2010-03-01 Alexandre Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>
* unix/tclUnixSock.c: Refrain from a possibly lengthy reverse-DNS
lookup on 0.0.0.0 when calling [fconfigure -sockname] on an
universally-bound (default) server socket.
* generic/tclIndexObj.c: fix [AT 86258]: special-casing of empty
tables when generating error messages for [::tcl::prefix match].
2010-02-28 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCmdIL.c: More additions of {TCL LOOKUP} error-code
generation to various subcommands of [info] as part of long-term
project to classify all Tcl's generated errors.
2010-02-28 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclStubInit.c: [Bug 2959713]: Link error with gcc 4.1
2010-02-27 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (StringFirstCmd, StringLastCmd): [Bug 2960021]:
Only search for the needle in the haystack when the needle isn't
larger than the haystack. Prevents an odd crash from sometimes
happening when things get mixed up (a common programming error).
* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main): [Bug 801429]: Factor out the holding
of the client-installed main loop function into thread-specific data.
***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
Code that previously tried to set the main loop from another thread
will now fail. On the other hand, there is a fairly high probability
that such programs would have been failing before due to the lack of
any kind of inter-thread memory barriers guarding accesses to this
part of Tcl's state.
2010-02-26 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompCmds.c: Split this file into two pieces to make it

2010-02-26 Reinhard Max <max@suse.de>

Use "Safe Tcl" instead of the "Safe Base", "Safe Tcl" mixture.
2010-02-26 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* unix/Makefile.in (NATIVE_TCLSH): Added this variable to allow for
better control of what tclsh to use for various scripts when doing
cross compiling. An imperfect solution, but works.
* unix/installManPage: Remap non-alphanumeric sequences in filenames
to single underscores (especially colons).
2010-02-26 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
* tests/zlib.test: Add tests for [Bug 2818131] which was crashing with
mismatched zlib algorithms used in combination with gets. This issue
has been fixed by Andreas's last commit.
2010-02-25 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

* generic/tclDictObj.c (SetDictFromAny): Prevent the list<->dict
* generic/tclListObj.c (SetListFromAny): conversion code from taking
too many liberties. Stops loss of duplicate keys in some scenarios.
Many thanks to Jean-Claude Wippler for finding this.
* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Reduce ifdef-fery and
size of activation record. More variables shared across instructions
than before.
* doc/socket.n: [Bug 2957688]: Clarified that [socket -server] works
with a command prefix. Extended example to show this in action.
2010-02-22 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* generic/tclZlib.c (ZlibTransformInput): [Bug 2762041]: Added a hack
to work around the general problem, early EOF recognition based on the
base-channel, instead of the data we have ready for reading in the
transform. Long-term we need a proper general fix (likely tracking EOF
on each level of the channel stack), with attendant complexity.
Furthermore, Z_BUF_ERROR can be ignored, and must be when feeding the
zlib code with single characters.
2010-02-22 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

2010-02-19 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* unix/installManPage: [Bug 2954638]: Correct behaviour of manual page
installer. Also added armouring to check that assumptions about the
initial state are actually valid (e.g., look for existing input file).
2010-02-17 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclHash.c (HashStringKey): Restore these hash functions
* generic/tclLiteral.c (HashString): to use the classic algorithm.
* generic/tclObj.c (TclHashObjKey): Community felt normal case
speed to be more important than resistance to malicious cases. For
now, hashes that need to deal with the malicious case can use a custom
hash table and install their own hash function, though that is not
functionality exposed to the script level.
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictUpdateCmd): Stack depth must be
correctly described when compiling a body to prevent crashes in some
debugging modes.
2010-02-16 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclInt.h: Change order of various struct members,
fixing potential binary incompatibility with Tcl 8.5
2010-02-16 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* unix/configure.in, generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_Stat): Updated so that
we do not assume that all unix systems have the POSIX blkcnt_t type,
since OpenBSD apparently does not.
* generic/tclLiteral.c (HashString): Missed updating to FNV in one
place; the literal table (a copy of the hash table code...)
2010-02-15 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* tools/genStubs.tcl: Reverted earlier rename from tcl*Stubs to

* generic/tclOO.c (AllocObject, SquelchedNsFirst, ObjectRenamedTrace):
* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_DeleteNamespace): [Bug 2950259]: Revised
the namespace deletion code to provide an additional internal callback
that gets triggered early enough in namespace deletion to allow TclOO
destructors to run sanely. Adjusted TclOO to take advantage of this,
so making tearing down an object by killing its namespace appear to
work seamlessly, which is needed for Itcl. (Note that this is not a
feature that will ever be backported to 8.5, and it remains not a
recommended way of deleting an object.)
2010-02-13 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSwitchCmd): Divided the [switch]
compiler into three pieces (after the model of [try]): a parser, an
instruction-issuer for chained tests, and an instruction-issuer for
jump tables.
* generic/tclEnsemble.c: Split the ensemble engine out into its own
file rather than keeping it mashed together with the namespace code.
2010-02-12 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* win/tcl.m4: Use -pipe for gcc on win32

2010-02-11 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
* tests/list.test: Add tests for explicit \0 in a string argument to
the list command.
2010-02-11 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_OpenObjCmd): [Bug 2949740]: Make sure that
we do not try to put a NULL pipeline channel into binary mode.
2010-02-11 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
[Bug 2826551, Patch 2948425]: Assorted regexp bugs related to -all,
-line and -start options and newlines.
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegexpObjCmd): If -offset is given, treat it
as the start of the line if the previous character was a newline. Fix
nasty edge case where a zero length match would not advance the index.
* tests/regexp.test: Add regression tests back ported from Jacl.
Checks for a number of issues related to -line and newline handling. A
few of tests were broken before the patch and continue to be broken,
marked as knownBug.
2010-02-11 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclOO.c (ObjectRenamedTrace): [Bug 2949397]: Prevent
destructors from running on the two core class objects when the whole
interpreter is being destroyed.
2010-02-09 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileTryCmd, IssueTryInstructions)
(IssueTryFinallyInstructions): Added compiler for the [try] command.
It is split into three pieces that handle the parsing of the tokens,
the issuing of instructions for finally-free [try], and the issuing of
instructions for [try] with finally; there are enough differences
between the all cases that it was easier to split the code rather than
have a single function do the whole thing.
2010-02-09 Alexandre Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>
* tools/genStubs.tcl: Remove dependency on 8.5+ idiom "in" in
expressions.
2010-02-08 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclZlib.c (Tcl_ZlibDeflate, Tcl_ZlibInflate): [Bug 2947783]:
Make sure that the result is an unshared object before appending to it
so that nothing crashes if it is shared (use in Tcl code was not
affected by this, but use from C was an issue).
2010-02-06 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclHash.c (HashStringKey): Replace Tcl's crusty old hash
* generic/tclObj.c (TclHashObjKey): function with the algorithm
due to Fowler, Noll and Vo. This is slightly faster (assuming the
presence of hardware multiply) and has somewhat better distribution
properties of the resulting hash values. Note that we only ever used
the 32-bit version of the FNV algorithm; Tcl's core hash engine
assumes that hash values are simple unsigned ints.
***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
Code that depends on hash iteration order (especially tests) may well
be disrupted by this. Where a definite order is required, the fix is
usually to just sort the results after extracting them from the hash.
Where this is insufficient, the code that has ceased working was
always wrong and was only working by chance.
2010-02-05 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileErrorCmd): Added compilation of the
[error] command. No new bytecodes.

* generic/tcl*Decls.h (regenerated)
* generic/tclStubInit.c (regenerated)
* generic/tclOOStubInit.c (regenerated)
* generic/tclTest.c (minor formatting)
2010-02-05 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclVar.c: More consistency in errorcode generation.
* generic/tclOOBasic.c (TclOO_Object_Destroy): Rewrote to be NRE-aware
when calling destructors. Note that there is no guarantee that
destructors will always be called in an NRE context; that's a feature
of the 'destroy' method only.
* generic/tclEncoding.c: Add 'const' to many function-internal vars
that are never pointing to things that are written to.
2010-02-05 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* tools/genStubs.tcl: Follow-up to [2010-01-29] commit:
prevent space within stub table function parameters if the
parameter type is a pointer.
* win/tclWinInt.h: Minor Formatting
* generic/tcl.h: VOID -> void and other formatting
* generic/tclInt.h: Minor formatting
* generic/tclInt.decls: Change signature of TclNRInterpProcCore,
* generic/tclOO.decls: and TclOONewProc(Instance|)MethodEx,
* generic/tclProc.c: indicating that errorProc is a function,
* generic/tclOOMethod.c:pointer, and other formatting
* generic/tcl*Decls.h: (regenerated)
* generic/tclVar.c: gcc warning(line 3703): 'pattern' may be used
uninitialized in this function
gcc warning(line 3788): 'matched' may be used
uninitialized in this function
2010-02-04 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclVar.c: Added more use of error-codes and reduced the
stack overhead of older interfaces.
(ArrayGetCmd): Stop silly crash when using a trivial pattern due to
error in conversion to ensemble.
(ArrayNamesCmd): Use the object RE interface for faster matching.
2010-02-03 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclVar.c (ArrayUnsetCmd): More corrections.
2010-02-02 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclVar.c: Turned the [array] command into a true ensemble.
* generic/tclOO.c (AllocObject, MyDeleted): A slightly faster way to
handle the deletion of [my] is with a standard delete callback. This
is because it doesn't require an additional memory allocation during
object creation. Also reduced the amount of string manipulation
performed during object creation to further streamline memory
handling; this is not backported to the 8.5 package as it breaks a
number of abstractions.
* generic/tclOOBasic.c (TclOO_Object_Destroy): [Bug 2944404]: Do not
crash when a destructor deletes the object that is executing that
destructor.
2010-02-01 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd): [Bug 2939073]: Stop the [array
unset] command from having dangling pointer problems when an unset
trace deletes the element that is going to be processed next. Many
thanks to Alexandre Ferrieux for the bulk of this fix.
* generic/regexec.c (ccondissect, crevdissect): [Bug 2942697]: Rework
these functions so that certain pathological patterns are matched much
more rapidly. Many thanks to Tom Lane for dianosing this issue and
providing an initial patch.
2010-01-30 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompile.c (tclInstructionTable): Bytecode instructions
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileUnsetCmd): to allow the [unset]
* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): command to be compiled
with the compiler being a complete compilation for all compile-time
decidable uses.
* generic/tclVar.c (TclPtrUnsetVar): Var reference version of the code
to unset a variable. Required for INST_UNSET bytecodes.
2010-01-29 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tcl.h: [Bug 2942081]: Reverted Tcl_ThreadDataKey type change
Changed some Tcl_CallFrame fields from "char *"
to "void *". This saves unnecessary space on
Cray's (and it's simply more correct).
* tools/genStubs.tcl: No longer generate a space after "*" and
immediately after a function name, so the
format of function definitions in tcl*Decls.h
match all other tcl*.h header files.
* doc/ParseArgs.3: Change Tcl_ArgvFuncProc, Tcl_ArgvGenFuncProc
* generic/tcl.h: and GetFrameInfoValueProc to be function
* generic/tclInt.h: definitions, not pointers, for consistency
* generic/tclOOInt.h: with all other Tcl function definitions.
* generic/tclIndexObj.c:
* generic/regguts.h: CONST -> const
* generic/tcl.decls: Formatting
* generic/tclTomMath.decls: Formatting

* generic/tclPlatDecls.h:
* generic/tclTomMathDecls.h:
2010-01-28 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclOOBasic.c (TclOO_Object_Destroy): Move the execution of
destructors to a point where they can produce an error. This will not
work for all destructors, but it does mean that more failing calls of
them will be caught.
* generic/tclOO.c (AllocObject, MyDeletedTrace, ObjectRenamedTrace):
(ObjectNamespaceDeleted): Stop various ways of getting at commands
with dangling pointers to the object. Also increases the reliability
of calling of destructors (though most destructors won't benefit; when
an object is deleted namespace-first, its destructors are not run in a
nice state as the namespace is partially gone).
2010-01-25 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclOOStubInit.c: Remove double includes (which causes a
* generic/tclOOStubLib.c: warning in CYGWIN compiles)
* unix/.cvsignore: add confdefs.h
2010-01-22 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* doc/proc.n: [Bug 1970629]: Define a bit better what the current
namespace of a procedure is.
2010-01-22 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclInt.decls: Don't use DWORD and HANDLE here.
* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
* generic/tcl.h: Revert [2009-12-21] change, instead
* generic/tclPort.h: resolve the CYGWIN inclusion problems by
* win/tclWinPort.h: re-arranging the inclusions at other
places.
* win/tclWinError.c
* win/tclWinPipe.c
* win/tcl.m4: Make cygwin configuration error into
* win/configure.in: a warning: CYGWIN compilation works
* win/configure: although there still are test failures.
2010-01-22 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Improve error code
generation from some of the tailcall-related bits of TEBC.
2010-01-21 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompile.h: [Bug 2910748]: NRE-enable direct eval on BC

2010-01-19 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* doc/dict.n: [Bug 2929546]: Clarify just what [dict with] and [dict
update] are doing with variables.
2010-01-18 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* generic/tclIO.c (CreateScriptRecord): [Bug 2918110]: Initialize
the EventScriptRecord (esPtr) fully before handing it to
Tcl_CreateChannelHandler for registration. Otherwise a reflected
channel calling 'chan postevent' (== Tcl_NotifyChannel) in its
'watchProc' will cause the function 'TclChannelEventScriptInvoker'
to be run on an uninitialized structure.
2010-01-18 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_AppendFormatToObj): [Bug 2932421]: Stop
the [format] command from causing argument objects to change their
internal representation when not needed. Thanks to Alexandre Ferrieux
for this fix.
2010-01-13 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: More factoring out of special cases
* tools/tcltk-man2html-utils.tcl: so that they are described outside
the engine file. Now there is only one real set of special cases in
there, to handle the .SO/.OP/.SE directives.
2010-01-13 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

2010-01-10 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* tests/namespace.test (namespace-51.17): [Bug 2898722]: Demonstrate
that there are still bugs in the handling of resolution epochs. This
bug is not yet fixed.
* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: Split the man->html converter into
* tools/tcltk-man2html-utils.tcl: two pieces for easier maintenance.
Also made it much less verbose in its printed messages by default.
2010-01-09 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: Added basic support for building the docs
for contributed packages into the HTML versions. Prompted by question
on Tcler's Chat by Tom Krehbiel. Note that there remain problems in
the documentation generated due to errors in the contributed docs.
2010-01-05 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclPathObj.c (TclPathPart): [Bug 2918610]: Correct
* tests/fileName.test (filename-14.31): inconsistency between the
string rep and the intrep of a path value created by [file rootname].
Thanks to Vitaly Magerya for reporting.
2010-01-03 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): [Bug 1636685]: Use the configuration
for modern FreeBSD suggested by the FreeBSD porter.
2010-01-03 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c: [Bug 2724403]: Fix leak of coroutines on

::unknown when [set] is undefined.
2009-12-29 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclHistory.c (Tcl_RecordAndEvalObj): Reduce the amount of
allocation and deallocation of memory by caching objects in the
interpreter assocData table.
* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetCommandFromObj): Rewrite the logic so that
it does not require making assignments part way through an 'if'
condition, which was deeply unclear.
* generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_MakeSafe): [Bug 2895741]: Make sure that
the min() and max() functions are supported in safe interpreters.
2009-12-29 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclBinary.c: [Bug 2922555]: Handle completely invalid input

2009-12-16 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* library/safe.tcl (::safe::AliasGlob): Upgrade to correctly support a
larger fraction of [glob] functionality, while being stricter about
directory management.
2009-12-11 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclTest.c: Fix gcc warning: ignoring return value of

to the list manpage when generating HTML.
* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl (Init): [Bug 2913616]: Do not use platform
tests that are not needed and which don't work in safe interpreters.
2009-12-14 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* doc/file.n (file tempfile): [Bug 2388866]: Note that this only ever
creates files on the native filesystem. This is a design feature.
2009-12-13 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c: Release TclPopCallFrame() from its
* generic/tclExecute.c: tailcall-management duties
* generic/tclNamesp.c:

pairing of the Enter and Release calls is clearer.
2009-12-12 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclTest.c (TestconcatobjCmd): [Bug 2895367]: Stop memory
leak when testing. We don't need extra noise of this sort when
tracking down real problems!
2009-12-11 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBinary.c: Fix gcc warning, using gcc-4.3.4 on cygwin

earlier commits in coroutine management.
2009-12-10 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* generic/tclObj.c (TclContinuationsEnter): [Bug 2895323]: Updated
comments to describe when the function can be entered for the same
Tcl_Obj* multiple times. This is a continuation of the 2009-11-10
entry where a memory leak was plugged, but where not sure if that was
just a band-aid to paper over some other error. It isn't, this is a
legal situation.
2009-12-10 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c: Reducing the # of moving parts for coroutines
* generic/tclExecute.c: by delegating more to tebc; eliminate the
special coroutine CallFrame.
2009-12-09 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* generic/tclIO.c: [Bug 2901998]: Applied Alexandre Ferrieux's patch
fixing the inconsistent buffered I/O. Tcl's I/O now flushes buffered
output before reading, discards buffered input before writing, etc.
2009-12-09 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c: Ensure right lifetime of varFrame's (objc,objv)
for coroutines.

* generic/tclExecute.c (TclStackFree): Improved panic msg.
2009-12-08 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c: Partial nre-enabling of coroutines. The
* generic/tclExecute.c: initial call still requires its own
* generic/tclInt.h: instance of tebc, but on resume coros can
execute in the caller's tebc.
* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC): Silence warning about pcAdjustment.
2009-12-08 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Make the dict opcodes
more sparing in their use of C variables, to reduce size of TEBC
activiation record a little bit.
2009-12-07 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC): Grouping "slow" variables into structs,
to reduce register pressure and help the compiler with variable
allocation.
2009-12-07 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclExecute.c: Start cleaning the TEBC stables
* generic/tclInt.h:
* generic/tclCmdIL.c: [Bug 2910094]: Fix by aku
* tests/coroutine.test:
* generic/tclBasic.c: Arrange for [tailcall] to be created with the
other builtins: was being created in a separate call, leftover from
pre-tip days.
2009-12-07 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclStrToD.c: [Bug 2902010]: Correct conditional compile
directives to better detect the toolchain that needs extra work for
proper underflow treatment instead of merely detecting the MIPS
platform.
2009-12-07 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c: [Patch 2910056]: Add ::tcl::unsupported::yieldTo
* generic/tclInt.h:
2009-12-07 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TryPostBody): [Bug 2910044]: Close off memory
leak in [try] when a variable-free handler clause is present.
2009-12-05 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c: Small changes for clarity in tailcall
* generic/tclExecute.c: and coroutine code.
* tests/coroutine.test:
* tests/tailcall.test: Remove some old unused crud; improved the
stack depth tests.
* generic/tclBasic.c: Fixed things so that you can tailcall
* generic/tclNamesp.c: properly out of a coroutine.
* tests/tailcall.test:
* generic/tclInterp.c: Fixed tailcalls for same-interp aliases (no
test)
2009-12-03 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* library/safe.tcl (::safe::AliasEncoding): Make the safe encoding
command behave more closely like the unsafe one (for safe ops).
(::safe::AliasGlob): [Bug 2906841]: Clamp down on evil use of [glob]
in safe interpreters.
* tests/safe.test: Rewrite to use tcltest2 better.
2009-12-02 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* tools/genStubs.tcl: Add support for win32 CALLBACK functions and
remove obsolete "emitStubs" and "genStubs" functions.
* win/Makefile.in: Use tcltest86.dll for all tests, and add
.PHONY rules to preemptively stop trouble that plagued Tk from hitting
Tcl too.
2009-11-30 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tcl.h: Don't use EXPORT for Tcl_InitStubs
* win/Makefile.in: Better dependancies in case of static build.
2009-11-30 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* doc/Tcl.n: [Bug 2901433]: Improved description of expansion to
mention that it is using list syntax.
2009-11-27 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
* win/tclAppInit.c (Tcl_AppInit): [Bug 2902965]: Reverted Jan's change
that added a call to Tcl_InitStubs. The 'tclsh' and 'tcltest' programs
are providers, not consumers of the Stubs table, and should not link
with the Stubs library, but only with the main Tcl library. (In any
case, the presence of Tcl_InitStubs broke the build.)
2009-11-27 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* doc/BoolObj.3, doc/Class.3, doc/CrtChannel.3, doc/DictObj.3:

* doc/Method.3, doc/NRE.3, doc/ObjectType.3, doc/PkgRequire.3:
* doc/SetChanErr.3, doc/SetResult.3: [Patch 2903921]: Many small
spelling fixes from Larry Virden.
BUMP VERSION OF TCLOO TO 0.6.2. Too many people need accumulated small
versions and bugfixes, so the version-bump removes confusion.
* generic/tclOOBasic.c (TclOO_Object_LinkVar): [Bug 2903811]: Remove
unneeded restrictions on who can usefully call this method.
2009-11-26 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* unix/Makefile.in: Add .PHONY rules and documentation to preemptively
stop trouble that plagued Tk from hitting Tcl too, and to make the
overall makefile easier to understand. Some reorganization too to move
related rules closer together.
2009-11-26 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* win/Makefile.in: [Bug 2902965]: Fix stub related changes that
* win/makefile.vc: caused tclkit build to break.
* win/tclAppInit.c
* unix/tcl.m4
* unix/Makefile.in
* unix/tclAppInit.c
* unix/configure: (regenerated)
2009-11-25 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
* win/Makefile.in: Added a 'test-tcl' rule that is identical to
'test' except that it does not go spelunking in 'pkgs/'. (This rule
has existed in unix/Makefile.in for some time.)
2009-11-25 Stuart Cassoff <stwo@users.sf.net>
* unix/configure.in: [Patch 2892871]: Remove unneeded
* unix/tcl.m4: AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE and use
* unix/tclConfig.h.in: AC_CHECK_MEMBERS([struct stat.st_blksize])
* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: instead of AC_STRUCT_ST_BLKSIZE.
* unix/configure: Regenerated with autoconf-2.59.
2009-11-24 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* library/tclIndex: Manually redone the part of tclIndex dealing with
safe.tcl and tm.tcl. This part passes the testsuite. Note that
automatic regeneration of this part is not possible because it wrongly
puts 'safe::Setup' on the list, and wrongly leaves out 'safe::Log'
which is more dynamically created than the generator expects.
Further note that the file "clock.tcl" is explicitly loaded by
"init.tcl", the first time the clock command is invoked. The relevant
code can be found at line 172ff, roughly, the definition of the
procedure 'clock'. This means none of the procedures of this file
belong in the tclIndex. Another indicator that automatic regeneration
of tclIndex is ill-advised.
2009-11-24 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclOO.c (FinalizeAlloc, Tcl_NewObjectInstance):
[Bug 2903011]: Make it an error to destroy an object in a constructor,

Documents' folder to the one that's correct for Windows 2000, XP,
Server 2003, Vista, Server 2008, and Windows 7. (See
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310746)

* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtyParseMode): Partial undo of Donal's tidy-up
from a few days ago (2009-11-9, not in ChangeLog). It seems that

2009-11-10 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
* tests/winFCmd.test: Cleanup directories that have been set chmod
000. On Windows7 and Vista we really have no access and these were
getting left behind.
A few tests were changed to reflect the intent of the test where
setting a directory chmod 000 should prevent any modification. This
restriction was ignored on XP but is honoured on Vista
2009-11-10 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>

branch.

Forward port from 8.5
2009-11-08 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* doc/string.n (bytelength): Noted that this command is not a good
thing to use, and suggested a better alternatve. Also factored out the
description of the indices into its own section.
2009-11-07 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
* tests/fCmd.test: [Bug 2891026]: Exclude tests using chmod 555
directories on vista and win7. The current user has access denied and
so cannot rename the directory without admin privileges.
2009-11-06 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* library/safe.tcl (::safe::Setup): Added documentation of the
contents of the state array. Also killed the 'InterpState' procedure
with its upleveled variable/upvar combination, and replaced all uses
with 'namespace upvar'.
2009-11-05 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* library/safe.tcl: A series of patches which bring the SafeBase up to
date with code guidelines, Tcl's features, also eliminating a number
of inefficiencies along the way.
(1) Changed all procedure names to be fully qualified.
(2) Moved the procedures out of the namespace eval. Kept their
locations. IOW, broke the namespace eval apart into small sections not
covering the procedure definitions.
(3) Reindented the code. Just lots of whitespace changes.
Functionality unchanged.
(4) Moved the multiple namespace eval's around. Command export at the
top, everything else (var decls, argument parsing setup) at the
bottom.
(5) Moved the argument parsing setup into a procedure called when the
code is loaded. Easier management of temporary data.
(6) Replaced several uses of 'Set' with calls to the new procedure
'InterpState' and direct access to the per-slave state array.
(7) Replaced the remaining uses of 'Set' and others outside of the
path/token handling, and deleted a number of procedures related to
state array access which are not used any longer.
(8) Converted the path token system to cache normalized paths and path
<-> token conversions. Removed more procedures not used any longer.
Removed the test cases 4.3 and 4.4 from safe.test. They were testing
the now deleted command "InterpStateName".
(9) Changed the log command setup so that logging is compiled out
completely when disabled (default).
(10) Misc. cleanup. Inlined IsInterp into CheckInterp, its only user.
Consistent 'return -code error' for error reporting. Updated to use
modern features (lassign, in/ni, dicts). The latter are used to keep a
reverse path -> token map and quicker check of existence.
(11) Fixed [Bug 2854929]: Recurse into all subdirs under all TM root
dirs and put them on the access path.

2009-11-02 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* doc/object.n (DESCRIPTION): Substantive revision to make it clearer
what the fundamental semantics of an object actually are.
2009-11-01 Joe Mistachkin <joe@mistachkin.com>
* doc/Cancel.3: Minor cosmetic fixes.
* win/makefile.vc: Make htmlhelp target work again. An extra set of
double quotes around the definition of the HTML help compiler tool
appears to be required. Previously, there was one set of double
quotes around the definition of the tool and one around the actual
invocation. This led to confusion because it was the only such tool
path to include double quotes around its invocation. Also, it was
somewhat inflexible in the event that somebody needed to override the
tool command to include arguments. Therefore, even though it may look
"wrong", there are now two double quotes on either side of the tool
path definition. This fixes the problem that currently prevents the
htmlhelp target from building and maintains flexibility in case
somebody needs to override it via the command line or an environment
variable.
2009-11-01 Joe English <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
* doc/Eval.3, doc/Cancel.3: Move TIP#285 routines out of Eval.3 into
their own manpage.
2009-10-31 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c (ExprRoundFunc): [Bug 2889593]: Correctly report
the expected number of arguments when generating an error for round().
2009-10-30 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
* tests/tcltest.test: When creating the notwritabledir we deny the
current user access to delete the file. We must grant this right when
we cleanup. Required on Windows 7 when the user does not automatically
have administrator rights.
2009-10-29 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tcl.h: Changed the typedef for the mp_digit type
from:
typedef unsigned long mp_digit;
to:
typedef unsigned int mp_digit;
For 32-bit builds where "long" and "int" are two names for the same
thing, this is no change at all. For 64-bit builds, though, this
causes the dp[] array of an mp_int to be made up of 32-bit elements
instead of 64-bit elements. This is a huge improvement because
details elsewhere in the mp_int implementation cause only 28 bits of
each element to be actually used storing number data. Without this
change bignums are over 50% wasted space on 64-bit systems. [Bug
2800740].
***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
For 64-bit builds, callers of routines with (mp_digit) or (mp_digit *)
arguments *will*, and callers of routines with (mp_int *) arguments
*may* suffer both binary and stubs incompatibilities with Tcl releases
8.5.0 - 8.5.7. Such possibilities should be checked, and if such
incompatibilities are present, suitable [package require] requirements
on the Tcl release should be put in place to keep such built code
[load]-ing only in Tcl interps that are compatible.

* tests/dict.test: Make variable-clean and simplify tests by utilizing
the fact that dictionaries have defined orders.
* generic/tclZlib.c (TclZlibCmd): Remove accidental C99-ism which
reportedly makes the AIX native compiler choke.
2009-10-29 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
* library/clock.tcl (LocalizeFormat):
* tests/clock.test (clock-67.1):
[Bug 2819334]: Corrected a problem where '%%' followed by a letter in
a format group could expand recursively: %%R would turn into %%H:%M:%S
2009-10-28 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclLiteral.c: [Bug 2888044]: Fixed 2 bugs.
* tests/info.test: First, as noted in the comments of the
TclCleanupLiteralTable routine, since the teardown of the intrep of
one Tcl_Obj can cause the teardown of others in the same table, the
full table cleanup must be done with care, but the code did not
contain the same care demanded in the comment. Second, recent
additions to the info.test file had poor hygiene, leaving an array
variable ::a lying around, which breaks later interp.test tests during
a -singleproc 1 run of the test suite.
2009-10-28 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
* tests/fileName.test (fileName-20.[78]): Corrected poor test
hygiene (failure to save and restore the working directory) that
caused these two tests to fail on Windows (and [Bug 2806250] to be
reopened).
2009-10-27 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

to work around silly bug in MSVC's handling of auto-casting.
2009-10-20 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* unix/Makefile.in: Removed the long outdated and broken targets
package-* that were for building Solaris packages. Appears that the
pieces needed for these targets to function have never been present in
the current era of Tcl development and belong completely to Tcl
pre-history.
2009-10-19 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclIO.c: [Patch 2107634]: Revised ReadChars and
FilterInputBytes routines to permit reads to continue up to the string
limits of Tcl values. Before revisions, large read attempts could
panic when as little as half the limiting value length was reached.
Thanks to Sean Morrison and Bob Parker for their roles in the fix.

line information initialization and finalization functions more
consistent. Patch supplied by Joe Mistachkin <joe@mistachkin.com>.
* generic/tclIORChan.c (ErrnoReturn): Replace hardwired constant 11
with proper errno #define, EAGAIN. What was I thinking? The BSD's have
a different errno assignment and break with the hardwired number.
Reported by emiliano on the chat.
2009-10-06 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclInterp.c (SlaveEval): Agressive stomping of internal reps
was added as part of the NRE patch of 2008-07-13. This doesn't appear
to actually be needed, and it hurts quite a bit when large lists lose
their intreps and require reparsing. Thanks to Ashok Nadkarni for
reporting the problem.
* generic/tclTomMathInt.h (new): Public header tclTomMath.h had
* generic/tclTomMath.h: dependence on private headers, breaking use
* generic/tommath.h: by extensions [Bug 1941434].
2009-10-05 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* library/safe.tcl (AliasGlob): Fixed conversion of catch to
try/finally, it had an 'on ok msg' branch missing, causing a silent
error immediately, and bogus glob results, breaking search for Tcl
modules.

* generic/tclCompile.c: Correct botch in the conversion of
Tcl_SubstObj(). Thanks to Kevin Kenny for detection and report.
2009-09-17 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclCompile.c: Re-implement Tcl_SubstObj() as a simple
* generic/tclParse.c: wrapper around TclNRSubstObj(). This has
* tests/basic.test: the effect of caching compiled bytecode in
* tests/parse.test: the value to be substituted. Note that
Tcl_SubstObj() now exists only for extensions. Tcl itself no longer
makes any use of it. Note also that TclSubstTokens() is now reachable
only by Tcl_EvalEx() and Tcl_ParseVar() so tests aiming to test its
functioning needed adjustment to still have the intended effect.

* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSubstCmd): [Bug 2314561]:
* generic/tclBasic.c: Added a bytecode compiler routine for the
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: [subst] command. This is a partial solution to
* generic/tclCompile.c: the need to NR-enable [subst] since bytecode
* generic/tclCompile.h: execution is already NR-enabled. Two new
* generic/tclExecute.c: bytecode instructions, INST_NOP and
* generic/tclInt.h: INST_RETURN_CODE_BRANCH were added to support
* generic/tclParse.c: the new routine. INST_RETURN_CODE_BRANCH is

* generic/tclIORTrans.c (ReflectInput): Remove error response to
0-result from method 'limit?' of transformations. Return the number of

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

* generic/tclCompile.c: [Bug 2802881]: The value stashed in
* generic/tclProc.c: iPtr->compiledProcPtr when compiling a proc
* tests/execute.test: survives too long. We only need it there long
enough for the right TclInitCompileEnv() call to re-stash it into
envPtr->procPtr. Once that is done, the CompileEnv controls. If we
let the value of iPtr->compiledProcPtr linger, though, then any other
bytecode compile operation that takes place will also have its
CompileEnv initialized with it, and that's not correct. The value is
meant to control the compile of the proc body only, not other compile
tasks that happen along. Thanks to Carlos Tasada for discovering and
reporting the problem.

* generic/tclOO.c (TclNRNewObjectInstance): [Bug 2414858]: Add a
* generic/tclBasic.c (TclPushTailcallPoint): marker to the stack of
NRE callbacks at the right point so that tailcall works correctly in a
constructor.
* tests/exec.test (cat): [Bug 2788468]: Adjust the scripted version of
cat so that it does not perform transformations on the data it is
working with, making it more like the standard Unix 'cat' program.
2009-05-07 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetCommandFromObj): [Bug 2785893]: Ensure that
a command in a deleted namespace can't be found through a cached name.
* generic/tclBasic.c: Let coroutines start with a much smaller
* generic/tclCompile.h: stack: 200 words (previously was 2000, the

2009-05-07 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* tests/env.test (printenvScript, env-4.3, env-4.5): [Bug 1513659]:

being on platforms that were either ISO 8859-1 or UTF-8. Stabilized
the results by forcing the encoding.
2009-05-06 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

* generic/tclOOMethod.c (InvokeForwardMethod): Clarify the resolution
behaviour of the name of the command that is forwarded to: it's now
resolved using the object's namespace as context, which is much more
useful than the previous (somewhat random) behaviour of using the
caller's current namespace.
2009-04-10 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

* generic/tclNamesp.c: NR-enabled)
* tests/tailcall.test:

and ensembles "leak" as of this commit.
* tests/nre.test: [foreach] has been NR-enabled for a while, the test
was marked 'knownBug': unmark it.
* generic/tclBasic.c: Fix for (among others) [Bug 2699087]
* generic/tclCmdAH.c: Tailcalls now perform properly even from
* generic/tclExecute.c: within [eval]ed scripts.
* generic/tclInt.h: More tests missing, as well as proper
exploration and testing of the interaction with "redirectors" like
interp-alias (suspect that it does not happen in constant space)
and pure-eval commands.
* generic/tclExecute.c: Proper fix for [Bug 2415422]. Reenabled
* tests/nre.test: the failing assertion that was disabled on
2008-12-18: the assertion is correct, the fault was in the
management of expansions.
* generic/tclExecute.c: Fix both test and code for tailcall

commit fixes [Bug 2649975] and [Bug 2695587].
* tests/coroutine.test: Moved the tests to their own files,

patch.
* generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupSimpleVar): [Bug 2689307]: Shift
all calls to Tcl_SetErrorCode() out of TclLookupSimpleVar and onto its

2009-03-15 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclThreadStorage.c (TSDTableDelete): [Bug 2687952]: Ensure

Tcl's TSD system are all freed. Use the correct matching allocator.
* generic/tclPosixStr.c (Tcl_SignalId,Tcl_SignalMsg): [Patch 1513655]:
Added support for SIGINFO, which is present on BSD platforms.

* unix/tcl.pc.in (new file): [Patch 2243948] (hat0)
* unix/configure.in, unix/Makefile.in: Added support for reporting
Tcl's public build configuration via the pkg-config system. TEA is
still the official mechanism though, in part because pkg-config is not
universally supported across all Tcl's supported platforms.
2009-03-11 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c (TclNRCoroutineObjCmd): fix Tcl_Obj leak.
Diagnosis and fix thanks to GPS.
2009-03-09 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TryObjCmd, TclNRTryObjCmd): Moved the
implementation of [try] from Tcl code into C. Still lacks a bytecode
version, but should be better than what was before.
2009-03-04 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclZlib.c (TclZlibCmd): Checksums are defined to be unsigned
32-bit integers, use Tcl_WideInt to pass to scripts. [Bug 2662434]
(ZlibStreamCmd, ChanGetOption): A few other related corrections.

2009-02-25 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclUtil.c (TclStringMatchObj): [Bug 2637173]: Revised
the branching on the strObj->typePtr so that untyped values get
converted to the "string" type and pass through the Unicode matcher.
[Bug 2613766]: Also added checks to only perform "bytearray"
optimization on pure bytearray values.
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Since Tcl_GetCharLength() has its own
* generic/tclExecute.c: optimizations for the tclByteArrayType, stop
having the callers do them.

* doc/clock.n, doc/fblocked.n, doc/format.n, doc/lsort.n,
* doc/pkgMkIndex.n, doc/regsub.n, doc/scan.n, doc/tclvars.n:
General minor documentation improvements.
* library/http/http.tcl (geturl, Eof): Added support for 8.6's built
in zlib routines.
2009-02-22 Alexandre Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>
* tests/lrange.test: Revert commits of 2008-07-23. Those were speed
* tests/binary.test: tests, that are inherently brittle.
2009-02-21 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclStringObj.c: Several revisions to the shimmering
patterns between Unicode and UTF string reps. Most notably the
call: objPtr = Tcl_NewUnicodeObj(...,0); followed by a loop of calls:
Tcl_AppendUnicodeToObj(objPtr, u, n); will now grow and append to
the Unicode representation. Before this commit, the sequence would
convert each append to UTF and perform the append to the UTF rep.
This is puzzling and likely a bug. The performance of [string map]
is significantly improved by this change (according to the MAP
collection of benchmarks in tclbench). Just in case there was some
wisdom in the old ways that I missed, I left in the ability to restore
the old patterns with a #define COMPAT 1 at the top of the file.
2009-02-20 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclPathObj.c: [Bug 2571597]: Fixed mistaken logic in
* tests/fileName.test: TclFSGetPathType() that assumed (not
"absolute") => "relative". This is a false assumption on Windows,
where "volumerelative" is another possibility.
2009-02-18 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclStringObj.c: Simplify the logic of the
Tcl_*SetObjLength() routines.
* generic/tclStringObj.c: Rewrite GrowStringBuffer() so that it
has parallel structure with GrowUnicodeBuffer(). The revision permits
allocation attempts to continue all the way up to failure, with no
gap. It also directly manipulates the String and Tcl_Obj internals
instead of inefficiently operating via Tcl_*SetObjLength() with all of
its extra protections and underdocumented special cases.
* generic/tclStringObj.c: Another round of simplification on
the allocation macros.
2009-02-17 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* win/tcl.m4, win/configure: Check if cl groks _WIN64 already to
avoid CC manipulation that can screw up later configure checks.
Use 'd'ebug runtime in 64-bit builds.
2009-02-17 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclStringObj.c: Pare back the length of the unicode
array in a non-extended String struct to one Tcl_UniChar, meant to
hold the terminating NUL character. Non-empty unicode strings are
then stored by extending the String struct by stringPtr->maxChars
additional slots in that array with sizeof(Tcl_UniChar) bytes per
slot. This revision makes the allocation macros much simpler.
* generic/tclStringObj.c: Factor out common GrowUnicodeBuffer()
and solve overflow and growth algorithm fallbacks in it.
* generic/tclStringObj.c: Factor out common GrowStringBuffer().
* generic/tclStringObj.c: Convert Tcl_AppendStringsToObj into
* tests/stringObj.test: a radically simpler implementation
where we just loop over calls to Tcl_AppendToObj. This fixes [Bug
2597185]. It also creates a *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** in
that T_ASTO can now allocate more space than is strictly required,
like all the other Tcl_Append* routines. The incompatibility was
detected by test stringObj-6.5, which I've updated to reflect the
new behavior.
* generic/tclStringObj.c: Revise buffer growth implementation
in ExtendStringRepWithUnicode. Use cheap checks to determine that
no reallocation is necessary without cost of computing the precise
number of bytes needed. Also make use of the string growth algortihm
in the case of repeated appends.
2009-02-16 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclZlib.c: Hack needed for official zlib1.dll build.
* win/configure.in: fix [Feature Request 2605263] use official
* win/Makefile.in: zlib build.
* win/configure: (regenerated)
* compat/zlib/zdll.lib: new files
* compat/zlib/zlib1.dll:
* win/Makefile.in: [Bug 2605232]: tdbc doesn't build when Tcl is
compiled with --disable-shared.
2009-02-15 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclStringObj.c: [Bug 2603158]: Added protections from
* generic/tclTestObj.c: invalid memory accesses when we append
* tests/stringObj.test: (some part of) a Tcl_Obj to itself.
Added the appendself and appendself2 subcommands to the
[teststringobj] testing command and added tests to the test suite.
* generic/tclStringObj.c: Factor out duplicate code from
Tcl_AppendObjToObj.
* generic/tclStringObj.c: Replace the 'size_t uallocated' field
of the String struct, storing the number of bytes allocated to store
the Tcl_UniChar array, with an 'int maxChars' field, storing the
number of Tcl_UniChars that may be stored in the allocated space.
This reduces memory requirement a small bit, and makes some range
checks simpler to code.
* generic/tclTestObj.c: Replace the [teststringobj ualloc] testing
* tests/stringObj.test: command with [teststringobj maxchars] and
update the tests.
* generic/tclStringObj.c: Removed limitation in
Tcl_AppendObjToObj where the char length of the result was only
computed if the appended string was all single byte characters.
This limitation was in place to dodge a bug in Tcl_GetUniChar.
With that bug gone, we can take advantage of always recording the
length of append results when we know it.
2009-02-14 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclStringObj.c: Revisions so that we avoid creating
the strange representation of an empty string with
objPtr->bytes == NULL and stringPtr->hasUnicode == 0. Instead in
the situations where that was being created, create a traditional
two-legged stork representation (objPtr->bytes = tclEmptyStringRep
and stringPtr->hasUnicode = 1). In the situations where the strange
rep was treated differently, continue to do so by testing
stringPtr->numChars == 0 to detect it. These changes make the code
more conventional so easier for new maintainers to pick up. Also
sets up further simplifications.
* generic/tclTestObj.c: Revise updates to [teststringobj] so we don't
get blocked by MODULE_SCOPE limits.
2009-02-12 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclStringObj.c: Rewrites of the routines
Tcl_GetCharLength, Tcl_GetUniChar, Tcl_GetUnicodeFromObj,
Tcl_GetRange, and TclStringObjReverse to use the new macro, and
to more simply and clearly split the cases depending on whether
a valid unicode rep is present or needs to be created.
New utility routine UnicodeLength(), to compute the length of unicode
buffer arguments when no length is passed in, with built-in
overflow protection included. Update three callers to use it.
* generic/tclInt.h: New macro TclNumUtfChars meant to be a faster
replacement for a full Tcl_NumUtfChars() call when the string has all
single-byte characters.
* generic/tclStringObj.c: Simplified Tcl_GetCharLength by
* generic/tclTestObj.c: removing code that did nothing.
Added early returns from Tcl_*SetObjLength when the desired length
is already present; adapted test command to the change.
* generic/tclStringObj.c: Re-implemented AppendUtfToUnicodeRep
so that we no longer pass through Tcl_DStrings which have their own
sets of problems when lengths overflow the int range. Now AUTUR and
FillUnicodeRep share a common core routine.
2009-02-12 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclOODefineCmds.c (TclOOGetDefineCmdContext): Use the
correct field in the Interp structure for retrieving the frame to get
the context object so that people can extend [oo::define] without deep
shenanigans. Bug found by Federico Ferri.
2009-02-11 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclStringObj.c: Re-implemented AppendUnicodeToUtfRep
so that we no longer pass through Tcl_DStrings which have their own
sets of problems when lengths overflow the int range. Now AUTUR and
UpdateStringOfString share a common core routine.
* generic/tclStringObj.c: Changed type of the 'allocated' field
* generic/tclTestObj.c: of the String struct (and the
TestString counterpart) from size_t to int since only int values are
ever stored in it.

Removed handling of (objPtr->bytes != NULL) from UpdateStringOfString,
which is only called when objPtr->bytes is NULL.
2009-02-09 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompile.c: [Bug 2555129]: const compiler warning (as
error) in tclCompile.c
2009-02-07 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclZlib.c (TclZlibCmd): [Bug 2573172]: Ensure that when
invalid subcommand name is given, the list of valid subcommands is
produced. This gives a better experience when using the command
interactively.
2009-02-05 Joe Mistachkin <joe@mistachkin.com>
* generic/tclInterp.c: [Bug 2544618]: Fix argument checking for
[interp cancel].
* unix/Makefile.in: Fix build issue with zlib on FreeBSD (and possibly
other platforms).
2009-02-05 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (StringIndexCmd, StringRangeCmd, StringLenCmd):
Simplify the implementation of some commands now that the underlying
string API knows more about bytearrays.
* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): [Bug 2568434]: Make sure
that INST_CONCAT1 will not lose string reps wrongly.
* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_AppendObjToObj): Special-case the
appending of one bytearray to another, which can be extremely rapid.
Part of scheme to address [Bug 1665628] by making the basic string
operations more efficient on byte arrays.
(Tcl_GetCharLength, Tcl_GetUniChar, Tcl_GetRange): More special casing
work for bytearrays.
2009-02-04 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclStringObj.c: [Bug 2561794]: Added overflow protections to
the AppendUtfToUtfRep routine to either avoid invalid arguments and
crashes, or to replace them with controlled panics.
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: [Bug 2561746]: Prevent crashes due to int
overflow of the length of the result of [string repeat].
2009-02-03 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

* generic/tclObj.c (tclCmdNameType): [Bug 2558422]: Corrected the type
of this structure so that extensions that write it (yuk!) will still
be able to function correctly.
2009-02-03 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclStringObj.c (SetUnicodeObj): [Bug 2561488]:
Corrected failure of Tcl_SetUnicodeObj() to panic on a shared object.
Also factored out common code to reduce duplication.
* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetStringFromObj): Reduce code duplication.
2009-02-02 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclInterp.c: Reverted the conversion of [interp] into an
* tests/interp.test: ensemble. Such conversion is not necessary
* tests/nre.test: (or even all that helpful) in the NRE-enabling
of [interp invokehidden], and it has other implications -- including
significant forkage of the 8.5 and 8.6 implementations -- that are
better off avoided if there's no gain.
* generic/tclStringObj.c (STRING_NOMEM): [Bug 2494093]: Add missing
cast of NULL to (char *) that upsets some compilers.
* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_(Attempt)SetObjLength): [Bug 2553906]:
Added protections against callers asking for negative lengths. It is
likely when this happens that an integer overflow is to blame.
2009-02-01 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
* win/makefile.vc: Allow nmake flags such as -a (rebuild all) to pass
down to the pkgs targets, too.
2009-01-30 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* doc/chan.n: [Bug 1216074]: Added another extended example.
* doc/refchan.n: Added an example of how to build a scripted channel.
2009-01-29 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* tests/stringObj.test: [Bug 2006888]: Remove non-ASCII chars from
non-comment locations in the file, making it work more reliably in
locales with a non-Latin-1 default encoding.
* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_FindCommand): [Bug 2519474]: Ensure that
the path is not searched when the TCL_NAMESPACE_ONLY flag is given.
* generic/tclOODecls.h (Tcl_OOInitStubs): [Bug 2537839]: Make the
declaration of this macro work correctly in the non-stub case.
2009-01-29 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclInterp.c: Convert the [interp] command into a
* tests/interp.test: [namespace ensemble]. Work in progress
* tests/nre.test: to NRE-enable the [interp invokehidden]
subcommand.
2009-01-29 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclNamesp.c (TclMakeEnsemble): [Bug 2529117]: Make this
function behave more sensibly when presented with a fully-qualified
name, rather than doing strange stuff.
2009-01-28 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c (TclInvokeObjectCommand): Made this understand
what to do if it ends up being used on a command with no objProc; that
shouldn't happen, but...
* generic/tclNamesp.c (TclMakeEnsemble): [Bug 2529157]: Made this
understand NRE command implementations better.
* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictForCmd): Eliminate unnecessary command
implementation.
2009-01-27 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclOODefineCmds.c (Tcl_ClassSetConstructor):
[Bug 2531577]: Ensure that caches of constructor chains are cleared
when the constructor is changed.
2009-01-26 Alexandre Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclInt.h: [Bug 1028264]: WSACleanup() too early.
* generic/tclEvent.c: The fix introduces "late exit handlers" for
* win/tclWinSock.c: similar late process-wide cleanups.
2009-01-26 Alexandre Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>
* win/tclWinSock.c: [Bug 2446662]: Resync Win behavior on RST with
that of unix (EOF).
2009-01-26 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclZlib.c (ChanClose): [Bug 2536400]: Only generate error
messages in the interpreter when the thread is not being closed down.
2009-01-23 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* doc/zlib.n: Added a note that 'zlib push' is reversed by 'chan pop'.

2009-01-22 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
* unix/tcl.m4: Corrected a typo ($(SHLIB_VERSION) should be
${SHLIB_VERSION}).
* unix/configure: Autoconf 2.59
2009-01-21 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* generic/tclIORChan.c (ReflectClose): [Bug 2458202]:
* generic/tclIORTrans.c (ReflectClose): Closing a channel may supply
NULL for the 'interp'. Test for finalization needs to be different,
and one place has to pull the interp out of the channel instead.
2009-01-21 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclStringObj.c: New fix for [Bug 2494093] replaces the
flawed attempt committed 2009-01-09.
2009-01-19 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
* unix/Makefile.in: [Patch 907924]:Added a CONFIG_INSTALL_DIR
* unix/tcl.m4: parameter so that distributors can control where
tclConfig.sh goes. Made the installation of 'ldAix' conditional upon
actually being on an AIX system. Allowed for downstream packagers to
customize SHLIB_VERSION on BSD-derived systems. Thanks to Stuart
Cassoff for his help.
* unix/configure: Autoconf 2.59
2009-01-19 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
* win/build.vc.bat: Improved tools detection and error message
* win/makefile.vc: Reorganized the $(TCLOBJ) file list into seperate
parts for easier maintenance. Matched all sources built using -GL to
both $(lib) and $(link) to use -LTCG and avoid a warning message.
Addressed the over-building nature of the htmlhelp target by moving
from a pseudo target to a real target dependent on the entire docs/
directory contents.
* win/nmakehlp.c: Removed -g option and GrepForDefine() func as it
isn't being used anymore. The -V option method is much better.
2009-01-16 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tcl.h: Bump patchlevel to 8.6b1.1 to distinguish
* library/init.tcl: CVS snapshots from the 8.6b1 and 8.6b2 releases
* unix/configure.in: and to deal with the fact that the 8.6b1
* win/configure.in: version of init.tcl will not [source] in the
HEAD version of Tcl.
* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
* win/configure:
2009-01-14 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken): Reverted most
of the substance of my 2009-01-12 commit. NULLing the objProc field of
a Command when deleting it is important so that tests for certain
classes of commands don't return false positives when applied to
deleted command tokens. Overall change is now just replacement of a
false comment with a true one.
2009-01-13 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* unix/tcl.m4: [Bug 2502365]: Building of head on HPUX is broken when
using the native CC.
* unix/configure (autoconf-2.59)
2009-01-13 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_ThrowObjCmd): Move implementation of [throw]
* library/init.tcl (throw): to C from Tcl.
2009-01-12 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken): One consequence of
the NRE rewrite is that there are now situations where a NULL objProc
field in a Command struct is perfectly normal. Removed an outdated
comment in Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken that claimed we use
cmdPtr->objPtr==NULL as a test of command validity. In fact we use
cmdPtr->flags&CMD_IS_DELETED to perform that test. Also removed the
setting to NULL, since any extension following the advice of the old
comment is going to be broken by NRE anyway, and needs to shift to
flag-based testing (or stop intruding into such internal matters).
Part of [Bug 2486550].
2009-01-09 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclStringObj.c (STRING_SIZE): [Bug 2494093]: Corrected
failure to limit memory allocation requests to the sizes that can be
supported by Tcl's memory allocation routines.
2009-01-09 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclNamesp.c (NamespaceEnsembleCmd): [Bug 1558654]: Error out
when someone gives wrong # of args to [namespace ensemble create].
2009-01-08 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclStringObj.c (STRING_UALLOC): [Bug 2494093]: Added missing
parens required to get correct results out of things like
STRING_UALLOC(num + append).
2009-01-08 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclDictObj.c, generic/tclIndexObj.c, generic/tclListObj.c,
* generic/tclObj.c, generic/tclStrToD.c, generic/tclUtil.c,
* generic/tclVar.c: Generate errorcodes for the error cases which
approximate to "I can't interpret that string as one of those" and
"You gave me the wrong number of arguments".
2009-01-07 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* doc/dict.n: [Tk Bug 2491235]: Added more examples.
* tests/oo.test (oo-22.1): Adjusted test to be less dependent on the
specifics of how [info frame] reports general frame information, and
instead to focus on what methods add to it; that's really what the
test is about anyway.
2009-01-06 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* tests/stringObj.test: Revise tests that demand a NULL Tcl_ObjType
in certain values to construct those values with [testdstring] so
there's no lack of robustness depending on the shimmer history of
shared literals.
2009-01-06 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictIncrCmd): Corrected twiddling in internals
of dictionaries so that literals can't get destroyed.
* tests/expr.test: [Bug 2006879]: Eliminate non-ASCII char.
* generic/tclOOInfo.c (InfoObjectMethodsCmd,InfoClassMethodsCmd):
[Bug 2489836]: Only delete pointers that were actually allocated!
* generic/tclOO.c (TclNRNewObjectInstance, Tcl_NewObjectInstance):
[Bug 2481109]: Perform search for existing commands in right context.
2009-01-05 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclNRSourceObjCmd): [Bug 2412068]: Make
* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclNREvalFile): implementation of the
[source] command be NRE enabled so that [yield] inside a script
sourced in a coroutine can work.
2009-01-04 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCmdAH.c: Tidy up spacing and code style.
2009-01-03 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
* library/clock.tcl (tcl::clock::add): Fixed error message formatting
in the case where [clock add] is presented with a bad switch.
* tests/clock.test (clock-65.1) Added a test case for the above
problem [Bug 2481670].
2009-01-02 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): [Bug 878333]: Force the use of the
compatibility version of mkstemp() on IRIX.
* unix/configure.in, unix/Makefile.in (mkstemp.o):
* compat/mkstemp.c (new file): [Bug 741967]: Added a compatibility
implementation of the mkstemp() function, which is apparently needed
on some platforms.
