2008-12-31 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* unix/Makefile.in: Set TCLLIBPATH in SHELL_ENV so that targets
like `make shell` have access to builds of bundled packages.
2008-12-28 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclZlib.c (Tcl_ZlibStreamPut): Plug a memory leak.
2008-12-27 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclZlib.c (ZlibStreamCmd): Fix compilation consistency. [Bug
* generic/tcl.decls: 2470237]
* generic/tclZlib.c (Tcl_ZlibStreamGet): Corrected the semantics of
this function to be useful to the PNG implementation. If the argument
object is empty, this gives the previous semantics.
(Tcl_ZlibStreamChecksum): Corrected name to be less misleading; it
only produced Adler-32 checksums when the stream was processing the
right type of compressed data format.
(Tcl_ZlibAdler32, Tcl_ZlibCRC32): Corrected types so that they work
naturally with the results of Tcl_GetByteArrayFromObj().
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** for all above changes, but very
unlikely to be difficult for anyone to deal with.
2008-12-26 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tcl.decls: Tidy up the commenting style, adding markers for
each of the big release points under TCT stewardship and noting the
general purpose of each TIP that added C API. Overall effect is to
make this file much more informative to read without having to spend
effort correlating with TIPs and ChangeLogs.
2008-12-23 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* win/Makefile.in: Fix build of zlib objects with msvc
* win/tcl.m4:
* win/configure: autoconf-2.59
2008-12-23 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* win/Makefile.in: Handle file extensions correctly. [Bug 2459725]
2008-12-22 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
*** 8.6b1 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
* win/makefile.vc: Ensure pkgs directories are suitable and quote the
paths. [Bug 2458395]
2008-12-22 Joe Mistachkin <joe@mistachkin.com>
* tools/man2help2.tcl: Added support for "\(mi" nroff macro. [Bug
2330040]

2008-12-21 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* unix/Makefile.in: Fix broken build of bundled packages when path
to build dir contains spaces by switching to
relative paths to toplevel build dir.
* unix/configure.in: Preserve configure environment variables for
sub-configures of bundled packages; reuse
configure cache file for sub-configures.
* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
2008-12-21 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* doc/TclZlib.3: Fix minor typo. [Bug 2455165]
2008-12-20 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
* win/Makefile.in: Renamed the static library libtcl86s.a to
* win/configure.in: have a name distinct from the import library
libtcl86.a. This renaming dodges an ancient
bug in the Makefile revealed by the last
commit where the $(TCL_LIB_FILE) rule can
fire to try to build the static library in a
--enable-shared build (and create a static
library that subsequently fails to link).
Revised the zlib objects so that they are
built directly into the build dir, without
building an intermediate static library.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** for
embedders who link to the static library, but
I couldn't figure out how to sort this out
any other way.
* win/configure: Autoconf 2.59
2008-12-20 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* win/Makefile.in: Minor updates to make building work better with
msys on Windows. (Apparently the gcc used doesn't like a / at the end
of a -I argument...)
2008-12-20 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* changes: Updates for 8.6b1 release.
2008-12-20 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* unix/Makefile.in: Make package install directory of bundled
* unix/configure.in: packages configurable via PACKAGE_DIR makefile
variable (set to platform-specific default).
* unix/Makefile.in (*-packages): Ensure toplevel targets fail if
sub-make/configure fails; fix quoting when
builddir path contains spaces.
* macosx/GNUmakefile: Add install-packages to install targets.
* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
2008-12-19 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* doc/NRE.3: Formatting errors found by `make html`
* doc/Tcl_Main.3:
* doc/zlib.n:
* tests/chanio.test: Add missing [removeFile] cleanups.
* tests/io.test: Add missing [close $f] to io-73.2.
* unix/Makefile.in: Update `make dist' target to include the files
from the compat/zlib directory as well as all the bundled packages
found under the pkgs directory, according to their individual `make
dist' targets. Change includes breaking a `configure-packages' target
out of the `packages` target.
* README: Bump version number to 8.6b1
* generic/tcl.h:
* library/init.tcl:
* tools/tcl.wse.in:

2008-12-18 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_CloseEx, CloseWrite, CloseChannelPart)
(ChanCloseHalf): Rewrite the half-close to properly flush the channel,
like is done for a full close, going through FlushChannel, and using
the flag BG_FLUSH_SCHEDULED (async flush during close). New functions
CloseWrite, CloseChannelPart, new flag CHANNEL_CLOSEDWRITE.
* tests/chanio.test (chanio-28.[67]): Reactivated these tests.
Replaced tclsh -> [interpreter] to get correct executable for the pipe
process, and added after cancel to kill the fail timers when we are
done. Removed the explicits calls to [flush], now that [close] handles
this correctly.
2008-12-18 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* tests/chanio.test: Replaced [chan event] handlers that returned
TCL_RETURN return code, with more conventional ones that return TCL_OK
to suppress otherwise strange writes of outdated $::errorInfo values
to stderr. [Bug 2444274]
* generic/tclExecute.c: Disabled apparently faulty assertion. [Bug
2415422]
2008-12-18 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* unix/configure.in, unix/Makefile.in: Autoconf wizardry.

* doc/throw.n, doc/try.n: Documentation of the new commands.
* library/init.tcl (throw, try): Implementation of commands documented
in TIP. This implementation is in Tcl and is a stop-gap until
higher-performance ones can be written.
2008-12-16 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

* doc/Interp.3: fields by default.
* doc/SetResult.3:
* doc/tcl.decls:
TIP #338 IMPLEMENTATION
* doc/AppInit.c: Made routines Tcl_SetStartupScript and
* doc/Tcl_Main.3: Tcl_GetStartupScript public. Removed all
* generic/tcl.h: internal stub access to Tcl*Startup* routines,

the new public interface.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY for callers of the internal
Tcl*Startup* routines. ***
* generic/tclIntDecls.h: make genstubs
* generic/tclStubInit.c:
* generic/tclDecls.h:

command to integrate with channels.
2008-12-12 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclZlib.c (Tcl_ZlibInflate): Change PATH_MAX to MAXPATHLEN,
since MSVC doesn't have PATH_MAX.
* doc/clock.n: Document new DST fallback rules.
* library/clock.tcl (ProcessPosixTimeZone): Fix time change in Eastern
Europe (not 3:00 but 4:00 local time). [Bug 2207436]
2008-12-12 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclZlib.c, unix/configure.in: Added stubs to use when the
version of zlib is not capable enough, and automagic to detect when
that is the case. [Bug 2421265]

2008-12-11 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* generic/tclIO.c (SetChannelFromAny and related): Modified the
* tests/io.test: internal representation of the tclChannelType to
contain not only the ChannelState pointer, but also a reference to
the interpreter it was made in. Invalidate and recompute the
internal representation when it is used in a different interpreter,
like cmdName intrep's. Added testcase. [Bug 2407783]
2008-12-11 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclZlib.c (ConvertError): Factor out code to turn zlib

2008-12-11 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* win/Makefile.in: Fix Windows build (mingw) for TIP #234
implementation (additionally, first make sure that zlib is available,
and rename the standard zdll.lib to libz.a, but at least this works so
far).
2008-12-11 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* tests/zlib.test: Start of test suite for zlib command.
2008-12-11 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

internal routine ***
2008-12-09 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclIO.c (ChanClose,ChanRead,...): Factored out some of the
code to connect to channel drivers that was common in multiple
locations so as to make code more readable.
2008-12-06 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCmdAH.c (FileTempfileCmd): Force temporary files to be
created in the native filesystem. Attempting to provide a template
that puts it elsewhere will result in the directory part of the
template being ignored. Partial address of [Bug 2388866] concerns.

* win/tclWinPipe.c (TclpOpenTemporaryFile): Avoid an infinite loop due
to GetTempFileName/CreateFile interaction. [Bug 2380318]
2008-12-03 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclFileName.c (DoGlob): One of the Tcl_FSMatchInDirectory
calls did not have its return code checked. This caused error messages
returned by some Tcl_Filesystem drivers to be swallowed.
2008-12-02 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
TIP #336 IMPLEMENTATION

C API function not universally available. [Bug 2371623]
2008-11-30 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
* library/clock.tcl (format, ParseClockScanFormat): Added a [string
map] to get rid of namespace delimiters before caching a scan or
format procedure. [Bug 2362156]
* tests/clock.test (clock-64.[12]): Added test cases for the bug that
was tickled by a namespace delimiter inside a format string.
2008-11-29 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>

* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (TclpOpenTemporaryFile, DefaultTempDir):
* win/tclWinPipe.c (TclpOpenTemporaryFile):

and more like the style used in the rest of the core. Includes adding
more comments and explanation of what is going on. Reduce the amount
of locking required.
2008-11-27 Alexandre Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>

* generic/tclNamesp.c: Eliminate warning: passing arg 4 of
Tcl_SplitList from incompatible pointer type.
* win/tcl.m4: Reverted change from 2008-11-06 (was under the
impression that "-Wno-implicit-int" added an extra
warning)
* win/configure: (regenerated)
* unix/tcl.m4: Use -O2 as gcc optimization compiler flag, and get rid
of -Wno-implicit-int for UNIX.
* unix/configure: (regenerated)
2008-11-10 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* doc/platform_shell.n: Fixed [Bug 2255235], reported by Ulrich
* library/platform/pkgIndex.tcl: Ring <uring@users.sourceforge.net>.
* library/platform/shell.tcl: Updated the LOCATE command in the
* library/tm.tcl: package 'platform::shell' to handle the new form
* unix/Makefile.in: of 'provide' commands generated by tm.tcl. Bumped
* win/Makefile.in: package to version 1.1.4. Added cross-references
to the relevant parts of the code to avoid future desynchronization.
2008-11-07 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclInt.h: Applied [Patch 2215022] from Duoas to clean up
* generic/tclBinary.c: the binary ensemble initiailization code.
* generic/tclNamesp.c: Extends the TclMakeEnsemble to do
* doc/ByteArrObj.3: sub-ensembles from tables.
2008-11-06 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* win/tcl.m4: Add "-Wno-implicit-int" flag for gcc, as on UNIX
* win/configure: (regenerated)
* generic/tclIO.c: Eliminate an 'array index out of bounds' warning
on HP-UX.
2008-11-04 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* generic/tclPort.h: Remove the ../win/ header dir as the build system
already has it, and it confuses builds when used with private headers
installed.
2008-11-01 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclOO.h (TCLOO_VERSION): Bump version of TclOO.
2008-10-31 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclOOBasic.c (TclOONRUpcatch): Reworked the code that does
* generic/tclOO.c (InitFoundation): class constructor handling so
that it is more robust and runs the constructor call in the context of
the caller of the class's constructor method. Needed because the
previously used code did not work at all after applying the fix below;
no Tcl existing command could reliably do what was needed any more.
* generic/tclOODefineCmds.c (GetClassInOuterContext): Rework and
factor out the code to resolve class names in definitions so that
classes are resolved from the perspective of the caller of the
[oo::define] command, rather than from the oo::define namespace! This
makes much code simpler by reducing how often fully-qualified names
are required (previously always in practice, so no back-compat issues
exist). [Bug 2200824]
2008-10-28 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompile.h: CONSTify TclDTraceInfo
* generic/tclBasic.c:
* generic/tclProc.c:
* generic/tclEnv.c: Eliminate some -Wwrite-strings warnings
* generic/tclLink.c:
2008-10-27 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclEncoding.c: Use "iso8859-1" and not "identity" as
the default and original [encoding system] value. Since "iso8859-1" is
built in to the C source code for Tcl now, there's no availability
issue, and it has the good feature of "identity" that we must have
("bytes in" == "bytes out") without the bad feature of "identity"
("broken as designed") that makes us want to abandon it. [RFE 2008609]
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY for older releases of Tclkit and any
other code expecting a particular value for Tcl's default system
encoding ***
2008-10-24 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
* library/http/http.tcl: Fixed a failure to read SHOUTcast streams
with the new 2.7 package. Introduced a new intial state as the first
response may not be HTTP*.
2008-10-23 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCmdAH.c (ForNextCallback): handle TCL_CONTINUE in the for
body. [Bug 2186888]

output in C++ comment.
2008-10-17 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

* generic/tclCmdAH.c: whitespace.
* generic/tclCmdIL.c: Uninitialized variable warning.
* generic/tclTest.c: const correctness warning.

preserves the state of the ::errorInfo and ::errorCode variables at
the start of auto-loading and restores that state before the
autoloaded command is evaluated. [Bug 2140628]
2008-10-15 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclInt.h: Add "const" to many internal const tables, so
* generic/tclBinary.c: those will be put by the C-compiler in the
* generic/tclCompile.c: TEXT segment in stead of the DATA segment.
* generic/tclDictObj.c: This makes those tables sharable in shared

2008-10-14 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* doc/chan.n, doc/fconfigure.n: Added even more emphatic text to
direct people to the correct manual pages for specific channel types,
suitable for the hard-of-reading. Following discussion on tcl-core.
2008-10-13 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
* win/tclWinThrd.c (TclpThreadCreate): We need to initialize the
thread id variable to 0 as on 64 bit windows this is a pointer sized
field while windows only fills it with a 32 bit value. The result is
an inability to join the threads as the ids cannot be matched.
* generic/tclTest.c (TestNRELevels): Set array to the right size.
2008-10-13 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclOOInfo.c (InfoClassDestrCmd): Handle error case.

when a coroutine is running but the resume command has been deleted.
[Bug 2153080]
2008-10-08 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclTrace.c: Corrected handling of errors returned by
variable traces so that the errorInfo value contains the original
error message. [Bug 2151707]
* generic/tclVar.c: Revised implementation of TclObjVarErrMsg so
that error message construction does not disturb an existing
iPtr->errorInfo that may be in progress.
2008-10-07 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* doc/binary.n: Added better documentation of the [binary encode] and
[binary decode] subcommands.

between n<<DIGIT_BIT and n<<DIGIT_BIT+1. [Bug 2143288]
Thanks to Malcolm Boffey (malcolm.boffey@virgin.net) for the patch.
TIP #331 IMPLEMENTATION
* doc/lset.n:
* generic/tclListObj.c (TclLsetFlat):
* tests/lset.test: Modified the [lset] command so that it allows for
an index of 'end+1', which has the effect of appending an element to
the list.
2008-10-05 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclInt.decls: CONSTified the AuxDataType argument
* generic/tclCompCmds.c: of TclCreateAuxData and

and stop allocating quite so much memory by sharing special "method"
names.
2008-10-04 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* doc/ChnlStack.3: CONSTified the typePtr argument
* doc/CrtChannel.3: of Tcl_CreateChannel and Tcl_StackChannel

* generic/tclIndexObj.c (TclGetIndexFromObjList, PrefixMatchObjCmd)
* doc/prefix.n, tests/string.test: Added [tcl::prefix] command for
working with prefixes of strings at the Tcl level. [Patch 1040206]
TIP #265 IMPLEMENTATION
* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_ParseArgsObjv, PrintUsage):
* generic/tcl.h (Tcl_ArgvInfo): Added function for simple parsing of
* doc/ParseArgs.3 (new file): optional arguments to commands. Still
needs tests and the like. [FRQ 1446696] Note that some of the type
signatures are changed a bit from the proposed implementation so that
they better reflect codified good practice for argument order.
2008-10-02 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* tests/info.test (info-23.3): Updated output of the test to handle
the NRE-enabled eval and the proper propagation of location
information through it. [Bug 2017632]

numbers as level argument. [Bug 2134049]
* tests/info.test (info-22.8): Made pattern for file containing
tcltest less specific to accept both .tcl and .tm variants of the file
during matching. [Bug 2129828]
2008-10-02 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
TIP #330 IMPLEMENTATION
* generic/tcl.h: Remove the "result" and "freeProc" fields
* generic/tclBasic.c: from the default public declaration of the
* generic/tclResult.c: Tcl_Interp struct. Code should no longer
* generic/tclStubLib.c: be accessing these fields. Access can be
* generic/tclTest.c: restored by defining USE_INTERP_RESULT, but
* generic/tclUtil.c: that should only be a temporary migration aid.

* doc/define.n, doc/ooInfo.n, benchmarks/cps.tcl:
* tests/oo.test (oo-26.*): Allow the declaration of the common
variables used in methods of a class or object. These are then mapped
in using a variable resolver. This makes many class declarations much
simpler overall, encourages good usage of variable names, and also
boosts speed a bit.
* generic/tclOOMethod.c (TclOOGetMethodBody): Factor out the code to
get the body of a procedure-like method. Reduces the amount of "poking
inside the abstraction" that is done by the introspection code.
2008-09-22 Alexandre Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>
* doc/chan.n: Clean up paragraph order.
2008-09-18 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclExecute.c (NEXT_INST_F):
* generic/tclInt.h (TCL_CT_ASSERT): New compile-time assertions,
adapted from www.pixelbeat.org/programming/gcc/static_assert.html
2008-09-17 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclInt.h: Correct the TclGetLongFromObj, TclGetIntFromObj,
and TclGetIntForIndexM macros so that they retrieve the longValue
field from the internalRep instead of casting the otherValuePtr field
to type long.
2008-09-17 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* library/init.tcl: Export min and max commands from the mathfunc
namespace. [Bug 2116053]
2008-09-16 Joe Mistachkin <joe@mistachkin.com>
* generic/tclParse.c: Move TclResetCancellation to be called on
returning to level 0, as opposed to it being called on starting a
substitution at level 0.
2008-09-16 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c: Move TclResetCancellation to be called on
returning to level 0, as opposed to it being called on starting a
command at level 0. Add a call on returning via Tcl_EvalObjEx to fix
[Bug 2114165].
2008-09-10 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* doc/binary.n: Added partial documentation of [binary encode] and
[binary decode].
* tests/binary.test,cmdAH.test,cmdIL.test,cmdMZ.test,fileSystem.test:
More use of tcltest2 to simplify the tests as exposed to people.
* tests/compile.test (compile-18.*): Added *some* tests of the
disassmbler, though not of its output format.
2008-09-10 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* tests/nre.test: Add missing constraints; enable test of foreach
recursion.
* generic/tclBasic.c:
* generic/tclCompile.h:
* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_EVAL_STK): Wrong numLevels when evaling a
canonical list. [Bug 2102930]
2008-09-10 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclListObj.c (Tcl_ListObjGetElements): Make this list->dict
transformation - encountered when using [foreach] with dicts - not as
expensive as it was before. Spotted by Kieran Elby and reported on
tcl-core.
2008-09-08 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* tests/append.test, appendComp.test, cmdAH.test: Use the powers of
tcltest2 to make these files simpler.
2008-09-07 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileTokens):
* generic/tclExecute.c (CompileExprObj): Fix a perf bug (found by Alex
Ferrieux) where some variables in the LVT where not being accessed by
index. Fix missing localCache management in compiled expressions found
while analyzing the bug.
2008-09-07 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

the coroutine is unwinding. [Bug 2093947]
* generic/tclExecute.c (CACHE_STACK_INFO):
* tests/unsupported.test: Restore execEnv's bottomPtr. [Bug 2093188]
2008-09-02 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tcl.h: Stripped "callers" of the _ANSI_ARGS_ macro
* compat/dirent2.h: to support a TCL_NO_DEPRECATED build.
* compat/dlfcn.h:
* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
* generic/tcl.h: Removed the conditional #define of
_ANSI_ARGS_ that would support pre-prototype C compilers. Since
_ANSI_ARGS_ is no longer used in tclDecls.h, it's clear no one
compiling against Tcl 8.5 headers is making use of a -DNO_PROTOTYPES
configuration.
2008-09-02 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* tests/socket.test: Rewrote so as to use tcltest2 better.
2008-09-01 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCmdAH.c: NRE-enabling [eval]; eval scripts are now
* generic/tclOOBasic.c: bytecompiled. Adapted recursion limit tests
* tests/interp.test: that were relying on eval not being
* tests/nre.test: compiled. Part of the [Bug 2017632] project.
* tests/unsupported.test:
2008-09-01 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclOOMethod.c (InvokeProcedureMethod):
* generic/tclOO.c (ObjectRenamedTrace): Arrange for only methods that
involve callbacks into the Tcl interpreter to be skipped when the
interpreter is being torn down. Allows the semantics of destructors in
a dying interpreter to be more useful when they're implemented in C.
2008-08-29 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>

properly cross-reference each other. Issue reported on Tcler's Chat.
2008-08-26 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c (InfoCoroutine):
* tests/unsupported.test: New command that returns the FQN of the
currently executing coroutine. Lives as infoCoroutine under
unsupported, but is designed to become a subcommand of [info]
2008-08-23 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c (NRInterpCoroutine): Store the caller's eePtr,
stop assuming the coroutine is invoked from the same execEnv where it
was created.
2008-08-24 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCmdAH.c (TclNRForeachCmd): Converted the [foreach]
command to have an NRE-aware non-compiled implementation. Part of the
[Bug 2017632] project. Also restructured the code so as to manage its
temporary memory more efficiently.
2008-08-23 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c: Removed unused var; fixed function pointer
* generic/tclOOInt.h: declarations (why did gcc start complaining
* generic/tclOOMethod.c: all of a sudden?)
* generic/tclProc.c:
2008-08-23 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclInt.h (EnsembleImplMap): Added extra field to make it
* generic/tclNamesp.c (TclMakeEnsemble): easier to build non-recursive
ensembles in the core.
* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictForNRCmd): Converted the [dict for]
command to have an NRE-aware non-compiled implementation. Part of the
[Bug 2017632] project.
2008-08-22 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c:
* generic/tclExecute.c: Set special errocodes: COROUTINE_BUSY,
COROUTINE_CANT_YIELD, COROUTINE_ILLEGAL_YIELD.
2008-08-22 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
*** 8.6a2 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
* changes: Updates for 8.6a2 release.
* generic/tcl.h: Drop use of USE_COMPAT85_CONST. That added
indirection without value. Use -DCONST86="" to engage source compat
support for code written for 8.5 headers.
* generic/tclUtil.c (TclReToGlob): Added missing set of the
*exactPtr value to really fix [Bug 2065115]. Also avoid possible
DString overflow.
* tests/regexpComp.test: Correct duplicate test names.
2008-08-21 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c: Previous fix, now done right.
* generic/tclCmdIL.c:
* generic/tclInt.h:

2008-08-21 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* tests/regexp.test, tests/regexpComp.test: Correct re2glob ***=
* generic/tclUtil.c (TclReToGlob): translation from exact
to anywhere-in-string match. [Bug 2065115]
2008-08-21 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tcl.h: Reduced the use of CONST86 and eliminated
* generic/tcl.decls: the use of CONST86_RETURN to support source
code compatibility with Tcl 8.5 on those public routines passing
(Tcl_Filesystem *), (Tcl_Timer *), and (Tcl_Objtype *) values which
have been const-ified. What remains is the minimum configurability
needed to support code written for pre-8.6 headers via the new
-DUSE_COMPAT85_CONST compiler directive.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
* generic/tclDecls.h: make genstubs
2008-08-21 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c: Fix the cmdFrame level count in
* generic/tclCmdIL.c: coroutines. Fix small bug on coroutine
* generic/tclInt.h: rewind.
2008-08-21 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclProc.c (Tcl_DisassembleObjCmd): Added ability to
disassemble TclOO methods. The code to do this is very ugly.
2008-08-21 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclOOMethod.c: Added casts to make MSVC happy
* generic/tclBasic.c:
2008-08-20 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclOO.c (AllocObject): Suppress compilation of commands in
the namespace allocated for each object.
* generic/tclOOMethod.c (PushMethodCallFrame): Restore some of the
hackery that makes calling methods of classes fast. Fixes performance
problem introduced by the fix of [Bug 2037727].
* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): Allow the suppression of
* generic/tclInt.h (NS_SUPPRESS_COMPILATION): compilation of commands
* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_CreateNamespace): from a namespace or its
children.
2008-08-20 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclTest.c (TestconcatobjCmd): Fix use of internal-only
TclInvalidateStringRep macro. [Bug 2057479]
2008-08-17 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c: Implementation of [coroutine] and [yield]

* generic/tclInt.h:
* tests/unsupported.test:
* generic/tclTest.c (TestconcatobjCmd):
* generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_ConcatObj):
* tests/util.test (util-4.7):
Fix [Bug 1447328]; the original "fix" turned Tcl_ConcatObj() into a
hairy monster. This was exposed by [Bug 2055782]. Additionally,
Tcl_ConcatObj could corrupt its input under certain conditions!
*** NASTY BUG FIXED ***

* generic/tclProc.c (TclNRInterpProcCore, InterpProcNR2):
DTrace probes for NRE. [Bug 2017160]
* generic/tclBasic.c (TclDTraceInfo): Add two extra arguments to
* generic/tclCompile.h: DTrace 'info' probes for tclOO
* generic/tclDTrace.d: method & class/object info.
* generic/tclCompile.h: Add support for debug logging of DTrace
* generic/tclBasic.c: 'proc', 'cmd' and 'inst' probes (does _not_
require a platform with DTrace).
* generic/tclCmdIL.c (TclInfoFrame): Check fPtr->line before
dereferencing as line info may
not exists when TclInfoFrame()
is called from a DTrace probe.
* tests/fCmd.test (fCmd-6.23): Made result matching robust when test
workdir and /tmp are not on same FS.
* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: Remove unused TclpThreadGetStackSize()
* generic/tclInt.h: and related ifdefs and autoconf tests.
* unix/tclUnixPort.h: [Bug 2017264] (jenglish)
* unix/tcl.m4:

Fix # args displayed. [Bug 2048676]
2008-08-08 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclOOMethod.c (PushMethodCallFrame): Added missing check
for bytecode validity. [Bug 2037727]
* generic/tclProc.c (TclProcCompileProc): On recompile of a
proc, clear away any entries on the CompiledLocal list from the
previous compile. This will prevent compile of temporary variables in
the proc body from growing the localCache arbitrarily large.

* unix/Makefile.in:
* win/Makefile.in:
* win/makefile.vc:
2008-08-11 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* library/tm.tcl: Added a 'package provide' command to the generated
ifneeded scripts of Tcl Modules, for early detection of conflicts
between the version specified through the file name and a 'provide'
command in the module implementation, if any. Note that this change
also now allows Tcl Modules to not provide a 'provide' command at all,
and declaring their version only through their filename.
* generic/tclProc.c (Tcl_ProcObjCmd): Fixed memory leak triggered by
* tests/proc.test: procbody::test::proc. See [Bug 2043636]. Added a
test case demonstrating the leak before the fix. Fixed a few spelling
errors in test descriptions as well.
2008-08-11 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* library/http/http.tcl: Bump http version to 2.7.1 to account
* library/http/pkgIndex.tcl: for [Bug 2046486] bug fix. This
* unix/Makefile.in: release of http now requires a
* win/Makefile.in: dependency on Tcl 8.5 to be able to
* win/makefile.bc: use the unsigned formats in the
* win/makefile.vc: [binary scan] command.
2008-08-11 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
* library/http/http.tcl: CRC field from zlib data should be treated as
unsigned for 64bit support. [Bug 2046846]
2008-08-10 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclProc.c: Completely removed ProcCompileProc, which was a
fix for [Bug 1482718]. This is not needed at least since varReform,
where the local variable data at runtime is read from the CallFrame
and/or the LocalCache.

* generic/tclInt.h:
2008-08-06 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclOO.c: Revised TclOO's check for an interp being
deleted during handling of object command deletion. The old code was
relying on documented features of command delete traces that do not in
fact work. [Bug 2039178]
* tests/oo.test (oo-26.*): Added tests that demonstrate failure
of TclOO to check for various kinds of invalid bytecode during method
dispatch. [Bug 2037727]
2008-08-06 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupSimpleVar): Fix bug that the core could
not trigger before TclOO: the number of locals was being read from the
Proc, which can under some circumstance be out of sync with the
localCache's. Found by dgp while investigating [Bug 2037727].
* library/init.tcl (::unknown): Removed the [namespace inscope]
hack that was maintained for Itcl
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** for Itcl
Itcl users will need a new release with Itcl's [Patch 2040295], or
else load the tiny script in that patch by themselves (rewrite
::unknown). Note that it is a script-only patch.

* tests/execute.test:
2008-08-04 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* tests/nre.test: Added tests for [if], [while] and [for]. A test
for [foreach] has been added and marked as knownbug, awaiting for it
to be NR-enabled.
* generic/tclBasic.c: Made atProcExit commands run
* generic/tclCompile.h: unconditionally, streamlined

fallback to direct evaluation of commands in a compiled script.
[Bug 2037338]
2008-08-03 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c: New unsupported command atProcExit that

* tests/unsupported.test:
2008-08-02 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* tests/NRE.test (removed): Migrated tests to standard locations,
* tests/nre.test (new): separating core functionality from the
* tests/unsupported.test (new): experimental commands.
2008-08-01 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* doc/Exit.3: Do not call Tcl_Finalize implicitly
* generic/tclEvent.c: on DLL_PROCESS_DETACH as it may lead
* win/tclWin32Dll.c (DllMain): to issues and the user should be
explicitly calling Tcl_Finalize before unloading regardless. Clarify
the docs to note the explicit need in embedded use.
2008-08-01 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c: Revised timing of the CmdFrame stack
* tests/info.test: management in TclEvalEx so that the CmdFrame
will still be on the stack at the time Tcl_LogCommandInfo is called to
append another level of -errorinfo information. Sets the stage to add
file and line data to the stack trace. Added test to check that [info
frame] functioning remains unchanged by the revision.
2008-07-31 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* tests/NRE.test: Replaced all deep-recursing tests by shallower
tests that actually measure the C-stack depth. This makes them
bearable again (even under memdebug) and avoid crashing on failure.
* generic/tclBasic.c: NR-enabling [catch], [if] and [for] and

dgp for catching this.
2008-07-29 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* tests/NRE.test: New tests that went MIA in the NRE revamping
* generic/tclBasic.c: Clean up
* generic/tclNRE.h:
* generic/tclExecute.c:
* generic/tclBasic.c: Made use of the thread's alloc cache stored in
* generic/tclInt.h: the ekeko at interp creation to avoid hitting
* generic/tclNRE.h: the TSD each time an NRE callback is pushed or
* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: pulled; the approach is suitably general
to extend to every other obj allocation where an interp is know; this
is left for some other time, requires a lot of grunt work.
* generic/tclExecute.c: Fix [Bug 2030670] that cause TclStackRealloc
to panic on rare corner cases. Thx ajpasadyn for diagnose and patch.
* generic/tcl.decls: Completely revamped NRE implementation, with
* generic/tclBasic.c: (almost) unchanged API.
* generic/tclCompile.h:
* generic/tclExecute.c: TEBC will require a bit of a facelift, but
* generic/tclInt.decls: TEOV at least looks great now. There are new
* generic/tclInt.h: tests (incomplete!) to verify that execution
* generic/tclInterp.c: is indeed in the same TEBC instance, at the
* generic/tclNRE.h: same level in all stacks involved. Tailcalls
* generic/tclNamesp.c: are still a bit leaky, still deserving to be
* generic/tclOOBasic.c: in tcl::unsupported.
* generic/tclOOMethod.c:
* generic/tclProc.c: Uninit'd var warnings in TEBC with -O2, no
* generic/tclTest.c: warnings otherwise.
2008-07-28 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* doc/FileSystem.3: CONSTified many functions using
* generic/tcl.decls: Tcl_FileSystem which all are supposed
* generic/tclDecls.h: to be a constant, but this was not
* generic/tclFileSystem.h: reflected in the API: Tcl_FSData,
* generic/tclIOUtil.c: Tcl_FSGetInternalRep, Tcl_FSRegister,
* generic/tclPathObj.c: Tcl_FSNewNativePath, Tcl_FSUnregister,
* generic/tclTest.c: Tcl_FSGetFileSystemForPath ...
This change complies with TIP #27.
***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
2008-07-28 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* generic/tclBasic.c: Added missing ref count when creating an empty
string as path (TclEvalEx). In 8.4 the missing code caused panics in
the testsuite. It doesn't in 8.5. I am guessing that the code path
with the missing the incr-refcount is not invoked any longer. Because
the bug in itself is certainly the same.
2008-07-27 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclOOMethod.c (PushMethodCallFrame): Remove hack that should
have gone when this code was merged into Tcl.
2008-07-27 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* doc/Object.3: CONSTified 3 functions using Tcl_ObjType
* doc/ObjectType.3: which all are supposed to be a constant, but
* generic/tcl.decls: this was not reflected in the API:
* generic/tcl.h: Tcl_RegisterObjType, Tcl_ConvertToType,
* generic/tclDecls.h: Tcl_GetObjType
* generic/tclObj.c: Introduced a CONST86_RETURN, so extensions
* generic/tclCompCmds.c: which use Tcl_ObjType directly can be
* generic/tclOOMethod.c: modified to compile against both Tcl 8.5 and
* generic/tclTestobj.c: Tcl 8.6. tclDecls.h regenerated
This change complies with TIP #27.
***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
2008-07-25 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* test/info.test: More work on singleTestInterp usability. [1605269]
* tests/info.test: Tests 38.* added, exactly testing the tracking of
location for uplevel scripts. Resolved merge conflict on info-37.0,
switched !singleTestInterp constraint to glob matching instead. Ditto
info-22.8, removed constraint, more glob matching, and reduced the
depth of the stack we check. More is coming, right now I want to
commit the bug fixes.
* tests/oo.test: Updated oo-22.1 for expanded location tracking.
* generic/tclCompile.c (TclInitCompileEnv): Reorganized the
initialization of the #280 location information to match the flow in
TclEvalObjEx to get more absolute contexts.
* generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalObjEx): Added missing cleanup of extended
location information.
2008-07-25 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* tests/info.test (info-37.0): Add !singleTestInterp constraint;
(info-22.8, info-23.0): switch to glob matching to avoid sensitivity
to tcltest.tcl line number changes, remove knownBug constraint, fix
expected result. [Bug 1605269]
2008-07-24 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* doc/Notifier.3: CONSTified 4 functions in the Notifier which
* doc/Thread.3: all have a Tcl_Time* in it which is supposed
* generic/tcl.decls: to be a constant, but this was not reflected
* generic/tcl.h: reflected in the API:
* generic/tclDecls.h: Tcl_SetTimer, Tcl_WaitForEvent,
* generic/tclNotify.c: Tcl_ConditionWait, Tcl_SetMaxBlockTime
* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c:
* generic/tclThread.c: Introduced a CONST86, so extensions which have
* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: have their own Notifier (are there any?) can
* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: can be modified to compile against both Tcl
* win/tclWinNotify.c: Tcl 8.5 and Tcl 8.6
* win/tclWinThrd.c: Regenerated tclDecls.h with "make stubs".
This change complies with TIP #27
***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
2008-07-23 Alexandre Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>
* tests/lrange.test: Added relative speed test to check for lrange
in-place optimization committed 2008-06-30.
* tests/binary.test: Added relative speed test to check for pure byte
array CONCAT1 optimization committed 2008-06-30.
2008-07-23 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* tests/info.test: Reordered the tests to have monotonously increasing
numbers.
* generic/tclBasic.c: Modified TclArgumentGet to reject pure lists
* generic/tclCmdIL.c: immediately, without search. Reworked setup of
* generic/tclCompile.c: eoFramePtr, doesn't need the line information,
* tests/info.test: more sensible to have everything on line 1 when
eval'ing a pure list. Updated the users of the line information to
special case this based on the frame type (i.e.
TCL_LOCATION_EVAL_LIST). Added a testcase demonstrating the new
behaviour.
2008-07-23 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c (GetCommandSource): Added comment with
explanation and warning for waintainers.
2008-07-22 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* generic/tclCompile.c: Made the new TclEnterCmdWordIndex static, and
* generic/tclCompile.h: ansified.
* generic/tclBasic.c: Ansified the new functions. Added missing
function comments.
* generic/tclBasic.c: Reworked the handling of bytecode literals for
* generic/tclCompile.c: #280 to fix the abysmal performance for deep
* generic/tclCompile.h: recursion, replaced the linear search through
* generic/tclExecute.c: the whole stack with another hashtable and
* generic/tclInt.h: simplified the data structure used by the compiler
by using an array instead of a hashtable. Incidentially this also
fixes the memory leak reported via [Bug 2024937].
2008-07-22 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c: Added numLevels field to CommandFrame, let
* generic/tclExecute.c: GetCommandSource use it. This solves [Bug
* generic/tclInt.h: 2017146]. Thx dgp for the analysis.
2008-07-21 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* generic/tclBasic.c: Extended the existing TIP #280 system (info
* generic/tclCmdAH.c: frame), added the ability to track the absolute
* generic/tclCompCmds.c: location of literal procedure arguments, and
* generic/tclCompile.c: making this information available to uplevel
* generic/tclCompile.h: eval, and siblings. This allows proper
* generic/tclInterp.c: tracking of absolute location through custom
* generic/tclInt.h: (Tcl-coded) control structures based on uplevel,

2008-07-21 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tcl.decls: Changed the implementation of
* generic/tclBasic.c: [namespace import]; removed
* generic/tclDecls.h: Tcl_NRObjProc, replaced with
* generic/tclExecute.c: Tcl_NRCmdSwap (proposed public
* generic/tclInt.h: NRE API). This should fix
* generic/tclNRE.h: [Bug 582506].
* generic/tclNamesp.c:

2008-07-20 Kevin B. Kenny <kenykb@acm.org>
* tests/fileName.test: Repaired the failing test fileName-15.7 from
dkf's commit earlier today.
2008-07-20 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclDictObj.c (SetDictFromAny): Make the list->dict
transformation a bit more efficient; modern dicts are ordered and so
we can round-trip through lists without needing the string rep at all.
* generic/tclListObj.c (SetListFromAny): Make the dict->list
transformation not lossy of internal representations and hence more
efficient. [Bug 2008248] (ajpasadyn) but using a more efficient patch.
* tests/fileName.test: Revise to reduce the obscurity of tests. In
particular, all tests should now produce informative messages on
failure and the quantity of [catch]-based obscurity is now greatly
reduced; non-erroring is now checked for directly.
2008-07-19 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* tests/env.test: Add LANG to the list of variables that are not
touched by the environment variable tests, so that subprocesses can
get their system encoding correct.
* tests/exec.test, tests/env.test: Rewrite so that non-ASCII
characters are not used in the final comparison. Part of fixing [Bug
1513659].
2008-07-18 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

the command frame (opt).
2008-07-17 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictWithCmd, FinalizeDictWith): Split the
implementation of [dict with] so that it works with NRE.
(DictUpdateCmd, FinalizeDictUpdate): Similarly for the non-compiled
version of [dict update].
2008-07-16 George Peter Staplin <georgeps@users.sf.net>
* win/tclWinThrd.c: Test for TLS_OUT_OF_INDEXES to make certain that

* generic/tclOO.c, generic/tclOOInt.h, generic/tclOOBasic.c:
* generic/tclOOCall.c, generic/tclOOMethod.c: NRE-enable the TclOO
implementation in Tcl. No change to public APIs, except that method
implementations can now be NRE-aware if they choose (which normal
methods and forwards are). On the other hand, callers of
TclOOInvokeObject (which is only in the internal stub table) will need
to deal with the fact that it's only safe to call inside an NRE-aware
context.

Porter for tracking the cause down.
2008-07-03 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* library/package.tcl: Removed [file readable] testing from
[tclPkgUnknown] and friends. We find out soon enough whether a file is
readable when we try to [source] it, and not testing before allows us

readable] lies to us. [Patch 1969717]

TIP #285 IMPLEMENTATION
* doc/Eval.3: Added documentation for the Tcl_CancelEval and
Tcl_Canceled functions and the TCL_CANCEL_UNWIND flag bit.
* doc/after.n: Corrected the spelling of 'canceled' in the
documentation.
* doc/interp.n: Added documentation for [interp cancel].
* generic/tcl.decls: Added the Tcl_CancelEval and Tcl_Canceled
functions to the stubs table.
* generic/tcl.h: Added the TCL_CANCEL_UNWIND flag bit.
* generic/tclBasic.c: The bulk of the script cancellation
functionality is defined here. Added code to initialize and manage the
script cancellation hash table in a thread-safe manner. Reset script
cancellation flags prior to increasing the nesting level (if the
nesting level is currently zero) and always cooperatively check for
script cancellation near the start of TclEvalObjvInternal and after
invoking async handlers.
* generic/tclDecls.h: Regenerated.
* generic/tclEvent.c: Call TclFinalizeEvaluation during finalization
to cleanup the script cancellation hash table. During [vwait], always
cooperatively check for script cancellation. Corrected the spelling of
'canceled' in comments to be consistent with the documentation.
* generic/tclExecute.c: Reset script cancellation flags prior to
increasing the nesting level (if the nesting level is currently zero)
and always cooperatively check for script cancellation after invoking
async handlers. Prevent [catch] from catching script cancellation when
the TCL_CANCEL_UNWIND flag is set (similar to the manner used by TIP
143 when a limit has been exceeded).
* generic/tclInt.decls: Added TclResetCancellation to the internal
stubs table.
* generic/tclInt.h: Added asyncCancel and asyncCancelMsg fields to the
private Interp structure. Added private interp flag value CANCELED to
help control script cancellation.
* generic/tclIntDecls.h: Regenerated.
* generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_InterpObjCmd): Added [interp cancel]
subcommand.
* generic/tclNotify.c (Tcl_DeleteEventSource): Corrected the spelling
of 'canceled' in comments to be consistent with the documentation.
* generic/tclParse.c: Reset script cancellation flags prior to
* generic/tclProc.c: increasing the nesting level (if the nesting
level is currently zero) and cooperatively check for script
cancellation prior to evaluating commands.
* generic/tclStubInit.c: Regenerated.
* generic/tclThreadTest.c (Tcl_ThreadObjCmd): Added script
cancellation support ([testthread cancel]).
Modified [testthread id] to allow querying of the 'main' thread ID.
Corrected comments to reflect the actual command syntax. Made
[testthread wait] cooperatively check for script cancellation. Added
[testthread event] to allow for processing one pending event without
blocking.
* generic/tclTimer.c: Delay for a maximum of 500 milliseconds prior to
checking for async handlers and script cancellation.
* tests/cmdAH.test: Changed [interp c] to [interp create].
* tests/interp.test: Added and fixed tests for [interp cancel].
* tests/thread.test: Added tests for script cancellation via
[testthread cancel].
* tools/man2help2.tcl: Fixed problems with WinHelp target (see
* tools/man2tcl.c: [Bug 1934200], [Bug 1934265], and [Bug 1934272]).
* win/makefile.vc: Added 'pdbs' option for Windows build rules to
* win/rules.vc: allow for non-debug builds with full symbols.
* win/tcl.hpj.in: Corrected version for WinHelp target.
* win/tclWinNotify.c: Used SleepEx and WaitForSingleObjectEx on
* win/tclWinThrd.c: Windows because they are alertable.
2008-06-12 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* unix/Makefile.in: Add complete deps on tclDTrace.h.
* generic/tclOO.c: Use TclOOStubs hooks field to retrieve
* generic/tclOODecls.h: TclOOIntStubs pointer. [Bug 1980953]
* generic/tclOOIntDecls.h:
* generic/tclOOStubInit.c:
* generic/tclOOStubLib.c:
* generic/tclIORTrans.c: Fix signed <-> unsigned cast warnings.
* unix/Makefile.in: Clean generated tclDTrace.h file.
* unix/configure.in (SunOS): Fix static DTrace-enabled build.
* unix/tcl.m4 (SunOS-5.11): Fix 64bit amd64 support with gcc & Sun cc.
* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: Add tclIORTrans.c; updates and
cleanup for Xcode 3.1/Leopard.
* macosx/Tcl.xcode/project.pbxproj: Sync Tcl.xcodeproj changes.
* macosx/README: Document new build configs.
2008-06-10 Joe English <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclEncoding.c(UtfToUtfProc): Avoid unwanted sign extension
when converting incomplete UTF-8 sequences. See [Bug 1908443] for
details.
2008-06-10 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* tests/ioTrans.test (iortrans.tf-6.1): Fixed the [Bug 1988552],
reported by Kevin. Have to close the channel before removal of the
file. Fixed same bug in test 'iortrans.tf-11.0', after fixing missing
cleanup of the file in 'iortrans.tf-11.*'. Lastly fixed the names of
the threaded tests 'iortrans-8.*' to the correct 'iortrans.tf-8.*'.
2008-06-09 Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclIORTrans.c (ReflectInput): Fixed a bug triggered by Pat
Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>. Reset the EOF flag after
draining the Tcl level into the result buffer, to make sure that the
result buffer will be drained as well by repeated calls to
ReflectInput should it contain more than one buffer-full of data.
Without that reset the higher I/O system will not call on ReflectInput
anymore due to the assumed EOF, thus losing the data which did not fit
in the buffer of the call which caused the eof and drain.
2008-06-09 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclOOCall.c (TclOOGetSortedMethodList): Plug memory leak
that occurred when all methods were hidden. [Bug 1987817]
2008-06-08 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c: Compilation of uplevel scripts, allow
* generic/tclCompCmds.c: non-body compiled scripts to access the
* generic/tclCompile.c: LVT (but not to extend it) and enable the
* generic/tclCompile.h: canonical list opt to sidestep the
* generic/tclExecute.c: compiler. [Patch 1973096]
* generic/tclProc.c:
* tests/uplevel.test:
2008-06-06 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
TIP #230 IMPLEMENTATION
* generic/tclIOCmd.c: Integration of transform commands into 'chan'
ensemble.
* generic/tclInt.h: Definitions of the transform commands.
* generic/tclIORTrans.c: Implementation of the reflection transforms.
* tests/chan.test: Tests updated for new sub-commands of 'chan'.
* tests/ioCmd.test: Tests updated for new sub-commands of 'chan'.
* tests/ioTrans.test: Whole new set of tests for the reflection
transform.
* unix/Makefile.in: Integration of new files into build rules.
* win/Makefile.in: Integration of new files into build rules.
* win/makefile.vc: Integration of new files into build rules.
NOTE: The file 'tclIORTrans.c' has a lot of code in common with the
file 'tclIORChan.c', as that made it much easier to develop the
reference implementation as a separate module. Now that the
transforms have been committed the one thing left to do is to go
over both modules and see which of the common parts we can
factor out and share.
2008-06-04 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclBinary.c: TIP #317 implementation
* tests/binary.test:
2008-06-02 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
* generic/tclOO.c (ReleaseClassContents): Fix the one remaining
valgrind complaint about oo.test, caused by failing to protect the
Object as well as the Class corresponding to a subclass being deleted
and hence getting a freed-memory read when attempting to delete the
class command. [Bug 1981001]
2008-06-01 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclOOMethod.c (Tcl_NewMethod): Complete the fix of [Bug
1981001], previous fix was incomplete though helpful in telling me
where to look.
2008-06-01 Joe Mistachkin <joe@mistachkin.com>
* win/Makefile.in: Add tclOO genstubs to Windows makefiles and remove
* win/makefile.vc: -DBUILD_tcloo because it is no longer required.
2008-06-01 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
* generic/tclOODecls.h: Added the swizzling of DLLEXPORT and
* generic/tclOOIntDecls.h: DLLIMPORT needed to make EXTERN work.
* generic/tclDictObj.c: Added missing initializers to the ensemble
map to silence a compiler warning. Thanks to
George Peter Staplin for the report.
* generic/tclOOMethod.c: Fix a bug where the refcount of a method was
reset if the method was redefined while there
was an active invocation. [Bug 1981001]
2008-06-01 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclOO.decls, unix/Makefile.in (genstubs): Make generation of
stub tables correct.
* generic/tclOO{Decls.h,IntDecls.h,StubInit.c,StubLib.c}: Fixes to
make the generation work correctly, removing subtle differences
between output of different versions of stub generator.
2008-06-01 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclOOStubLib.c: Ensure use of tcl stubs; include in
* unix/Makefile.in: stub lib; disable broken tclOO
genstubs
* generic/tclOO.c: Make tclOO stubs tables 'static const'
* generic/tclOODecls.h: and stub table pointers MODULE_SCOPE
* generic/tclOOIntDecls.h: (change generated files manually
* generic/tclOOStubInit.c: pending genstubs support for tclOO).
* generic/tclOOStubLib.c:
* generic/tclOO.c: Fix warnings for 'int<->ptr
* generic/tclOOCall.c: conversion' and 'signed vs unsigned
* generic/tclOOMethod.c: comparison'.
* tests/msgcat.test: Fix for ::tcl::mac::locale with @modifier.
* tools/tsdPerf.tcl: Use [info sharedlibextension]
* unix/tclConfig.h.in: autoheader-2.59
* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: Add new tclOO files; add debug
* macosx/README: configs with corefoundation
disabled and with gcov; update
to Xcode 3.1.
2008-05-31 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclOO.c (InitFoundation): Correct reference counting for
strings used when creating the constructor for classes.
* generic/tclOOMethod.c (TclOODelMethodRef): Correct fencepost error
in reference counting of method implementation structures.
* tests/oo.test (oo-0.5): Added a test to detect a memory leak problem
relating to disposal of the core object system.
TIP#257 IMPLEMENTATION
* generic/tclBasic.c, generic/tclOOInt.h: Correct declarations.
* win/Makefile.in, win/makefile.bc, win/makefile.vc: Build support for
Win32, from Joe Mistachkin. [Patch 1980861]
* generic/tclOO*, doc/*, tests/oo.test: Port of implementation of
TclOO to sit directly inside Tcl. Note that this is incomplete (e.g.
no build support yet for Windows).
2008-05-26 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* tests/io.test (io-53.9): Need to close chan before removing file.
2008-05-26 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* win/makefile.bc: Remove deprecated winhelp target.
* win/Makefile.in, win/makefile.vc: It didn't work correctly anyway.
2008-05-23 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* win/tclWinChan.c (FileWideSeekProc): Accepted a patch by Alexandre
Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net> to fix the [Bug 1965787].
'tell' now works for locations > 2 GB as well instead of going
negative.
* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_SetChannelBufferSize): Accepted a patch by
* tests/io.test: Alexandre Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>
* tests/chanio.test: to fix the [Bug 1969953]. Buffersize outside of
the supported range are now clipped to nearest boundary instead of
ignored.
2008-05-22 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_LogCommandInfo): Restored ability to
handle the argument value length = -1. Thanks to Chris Darroch for
discovering the bug and providing the fix. [Bug 1968245]
2008-05-21 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclParse.c (ParseComment): The new TclParseAllWhiteSpace
* tests/parse.test (parse-15.60): routine has no mechanism to
return the "incomplete" status of "\\\n" so calling this routine
anywhere that can be reached within a Tcl_ParseCommand() call is a
mistake. In particular, ParseComment() must not use it. [Bug 1968882]
2008-05-20 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_SetNamespaceUnknownHandler): Corrected odd
logic for handling installation of namespace unknown handlers which
could lead too very strange things happening in the error case.
2008-05-16 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompile.c: Fix crash with tcl_traceExec. Found and fixed
by Alexander Pasadyn. [Bug 1964803]
2008-05-15 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
* win/makefile.vc: We should use the thread allocator for threaded
* win/rules.vc: builds. Added 'tclalloc' option to disable.
2008-05-09 George Peter Staplin <georgeps@xmission.com>
* tools/tsdPerf.c: A loadable Tcl extension for testing TSD
performance.
* tools/tsdPerf.tcl: A simplistic tool that uses the thread
extension and tsdPerf.so to get some performance metrics by,
simulating, simple TSD contention.
2008-05-09 George Peter Staplin <georgeps@xmission.com>
* generic/tcl.h: Make Tcl_ThreadDataKey a void *.
* generic/tclInt.h: Change around some function names and add some
new per-platform declarations for thread-specific data functions.
* generic/tclThread.c: Make use of of the new function names that no
longer have a Tclp prefix.
* generic/tclThreadStorage.c: Replace the core thread-specific data
(TSD) mechanism with an array offset solution that eliminates the hash
tables, and only uses one slot of native TSD. Many thanks to Kevin B.
Kenny for his help with this.
* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: Add platform-specific TSD functions for use by
* win/tclWinThrd.c: tclThreadStorage.c.
2008-05-09 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
* tests/dict.test (dict-19.2): Corrected a bug where the test was
changed to use [apply] instead of a temporary proc, but the cleanup
script still attempted to delete the temporary proc.
2008-05-07 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@cspool38.cs.man.ac.uk>
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictAppendCmd): Fix silly off-by
one error that caused a crash every time a compiled 'dict append' with
more than one argument was used. Found by Colin McCormack.
2008-05-02 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c: Converted the [binary] command into an
* generic/tclBinary.c: ensemble.
* generic/tclInt.h:
* test/binary.test: Updated the error tests for ensemble errors.
* generic/tclFileName.c: Reverted accidental commit of TIP 316 APIs.
2008-04-27 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* */*.c: A large tranche of getting rid of pre-C89-isms; if your
compiler doesn't support things like proper function declarations,
'void' and 'const', borrow a proper one when building Tcl. (The header
files allow building things that link against Tcl with really ancient
compilers still; the requirement is just when building Tcl itself.)
2008-04-26 Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclAsync.c: Tcl_AsyncDelete(): panic if attempt to locate
handler token fails. Happens when some other thread attempts to delete
somebody else's token.
Also, panic early if we find out the wrong thread attempting to delete
the async handler (common trap). As, only the one that created the
handler is allowed to delete it.
2008-04-24 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* tests/ioCmd.test: Extended testsuite for reflected channel
implementation. Added test cases about how it handles if the rug is
pulled out from under a channel (= killing threads, interpreters
containing the tcl command for a channel, and channel sitting in a
different interpreter/thread.)
* generic/tclIORChan.c: Fixed the bugs exposed by the new testcases,
redone most of the cleanup and exit handling.
2008-04-21 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclIOUtil.c: Removed all code delimited by
* generic/tclTest.c: USE_OBSOLETE_FS_HOOKS, completing
* tests/ioCmd.test: the deprecation path for these
* tests/ioUtil.test (removed): obsolete interfaces. (Code was active
in Tcl 8.4, present but enabled only by customized compile switch in
Tcl 8.5, and now completely gone for Tcl 8.6). Also removed all tests
relevant only to the removed interfaces.
2008-04-19 George Peter Staplin <georgeps@xmission.com>
* doc/Ensemble.3: Fix a typo: s/defiend/defined/
Thanks to hat0 for spotting this.
2008-04-16 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclInt.h: Make stubs tables 'static const' and
* generic/tclStubInit.c: export only module-scope pointers to
* generic/tclStubLib.c: the main stubs tables (for package
* tools/genStubs.tcl: initialization). [Patch 1938497]
* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp):
* generic/tclTomMathInterface.c (TclTommath_Init):
* generic/tclInt.h: Revise Tcl_SetNotifier() to use a
* generic/tclNotify.c: module-scope hooks table instead of
* generic/tclStubInit.c: runtime stubs-table modification;
* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: ensure all hookable notifier functions
* win/tclWinNotify.c: check for hooks; remove hook checks in
* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: notifier API callers. [Patch 1938497]
2008-04-15 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* generic/tclIO.c (CopyData): Applied another patch by Alexandre
* io.test (io-53.8a): Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sf.net>,
* chanio.test (chan-io-53.8a): to shift EOF handling to the async
part of the command if a callback is specified, should the channel be
at EOF already when fcopy is called. Testcase by myself.
2008-04-15 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* unix/Makefile.in: Adjust tclDTrace.h dependencies for removal
of tclStubLib.o from TCL_OBJS. [Bug 1942795]
2008-04-14 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
* unix/tclUnixTime.c (NativeGetTime): Removed obsolete use of
'struct timezone' in the call to 'gettimeofday'. [Bug 1942197]
* tests/clock.test (clock-33.5, clock-33.5a, clock-33.8, clock-33.8a):
Added comments to the test that it can fail on a heavily loaded
system.
2008-04-10 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_FcopyObjCmd): Keeping check for negative
values, changed to not be an error, but behave like the special value
-1 (copy all, default).
* tests/iocmd.test (iocmd-15.{12,13}): Removed.
* tests/io.test (io-52.5{,a,b}): Reverted last change, added
* tests/chanio.test (chan-io-52.5{,a,b}): comment regarding the
meaning of -1, added two more testcases for other negative values,
and input wrapped to negative.
2008-04-09 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* tests/{fCmd,unixFCmd,winFCmd,winFile}.test: Tidying up of the test
suite to make better use of tcltest2 and be clearer about what is
being tested.
* win/Makefile.in (html): Added target for doing convenient
documentation builds, mirroring the one from unix/Makefile.
2008-04-09 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* tests/chanio.test (chan-io-52.5): Removed '-size -1' from test,
* tests/io.test (io-52.5): does not seem to have any bearing, and was
an illegal value. Test case is not affected by the value of -size,
test flag restoration and that evrything was properly copied.
* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_FcopyObjCmd): Added checking of -size value
* tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-15.{13,14}): to reject negative values, and
values overflowing 32-bit signed. Basic patch by Alexandre Ferrieux
<ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>, with modifications from me to
separate overflow from true negative value. Extended testsuite. [Bug
1557855]
2008-04-09 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* tests/chanio.test (chan-io-53.8,53.9,53.10): Fix typo & quoting for
* tests/io.test (io-53.8,53.9,53.10): spaces in builddir path
2008-04-08 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclExecute.c: Added comments to the alignment macros used in
GrowEvaluationStack() and friends.
2008-04-08 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* tools/genStubs.tcl: Revert erroneous 2008-04-02 change marking
*StubsPtr as EXTERN instead of extern.
* generic/tclDecls.h: make genstubs
* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
* generic/tclPlatDecls.h:
* generic/tclTomMathDecls.h:
2008-04-07 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* tests/io.test (io-53.10): Testcase for bi-directional fcopy.
* tests/chanio.test:
* generic/tclIO.c: Additional changes to data structures for fcopy and
* generic/tclIO.h: channels to perform proper cleanup in case of a
channel having two background copy operations running as is now
possible.
* generic/tclIO.c (BUSY_STATE, CheckChannelErrors, TclCopyChannel):
New macro, and the places using it. This change allows for
bi-directional fcopy on channels. Thanks to Alexandre Ferrieux
<ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net> for the patch. [Bug 1350564]
2008-04-07 Reinhard Max <max@suse.de>
* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_AppendFormatToObj): Fix [format {% d}]
so that it behaves the same way as in 8.4 and as C's printf().
* tests/format.test: Add a test for '% d' and '%+d'.
2008-04-05 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
* win/tclWinFile.c: (WinSymLinkDirectory): Fixed a problem that Tcl
was creating an NTFS junction point (IO_REPARSE_TAG_MOUNT_POINT) but
filling in the union member for a Vista symbolic link. We had gotten
away with this error because the union member
(SymbolicLinkReparseBuffer) was misdefined in this file and in the
'winnt.h' in early versions of MinGW. MinGW 3.4.2 has the correct
definition of SymbolicLinkReparseBuffer, exposing the mismatch, and
making tests cmdAH-19.4.1, fCmd-28.*, and filename-11.* fail.
* tests/chanio.test (chan-io-53.9):
* tests/io.test (io-53.9): Made test cleanup robust against the
possibility of slow process shutdown on Windows.
* win/tcl.m4: Added -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE and
-DCRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE to the MSVC compilation flags so that the
compilation doesn't barf on perfectly reasonable Posix system calls.
* win/configure: Manually patched (don't have the right autoconf to
hand).
2008-04-04 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* tests/io.test (io-53.9): Added testcase for [Bug 780533], based
* tests/chanio.test: on Alexandre's test script. Also fixed problem
with timer in preceding test, was not canceled properly in the ok case
2008-04-04 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* generic/tclIORChan.c (ReflectOutput): Allow zero return from write
when input was zero-length anyway. Otherwise keept it an error, and
separate the message from 'written too much'.
* tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-24.6): Testcase updated for changed message.
* generic/tclIORChan.c (ReflectClose): Added missing removal of the
now closed channel from the reflection map. Before we could crash the
system by invoking 'chan postevent' on a closed reflected channel,
dereferencing the dangling pointer in the map.
* tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-31.8): Testcase for the above.
2008-04-03 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* generic/tclIO.c (CopyData): Applied patch [Bug 1932639] to
* tests/io.test: prevent fcopy from calling -command synchronously
* tests/chanio.test: the first time. Thanks to Alexandre Ferrieux
<ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net> for report and patch.
2008-04-02 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tcl.decls: Remove 'export' declarations of symbols now
only in libtclstub and no longer in libtcl.
* generic/tclStubLib.c: Make symbols in libtclstub.a MODULE_SCOPE to
* tools/genStubs.tcl: avoid exporting them from libraries that link
with -ltclstub; constify tcl*StubsPtr and stub
table hook pointers. [Bug 1819422]

2008-04-02 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* generic/tclIO.c (CopyData): Applied patch for fcopy problem [Bug
780533], with many thanks to Alexandre Ferrieux
<ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net> for tracking it down and providing a
solution. Still have to convert his test script into a proper test
case.
2008-04-01 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* generic/tclStrToD.c: Applied patch for [Bug 1839067] (fp rounding
* unix/tcl.m4: setup on solaris x86, native cc), provided by
Michael Schlenker.
2008-04-01 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclStubLib.c: Removed needless #ifdef complexity.

2008-03-30 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
* generic/tclInt.h (TclIsNaN):
* unix/configure.in: Added code to the configurator to check for a
standard isnan() macro and use it if one is
found. This change avoids bugs where the test of
((d) != (d)) is optimized away by an
overaggressive compiler. [Bug 1783544]
* generic/tclObj.c: Added missing #include <math.h> needed to locate

1921166]
* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
2008-03-26 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* changes: Updated for 8.5.2 release.
2008-03-24 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclBinary.c: [Bug 1923966] - crash in binary format
* tests/binary.test: Added tests for the above crash condition.
2008-03-21 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* doc/switch.n: Clarified documentation in respect of two-argument
invokation. [Bug 1899962]
* tests/switch.test: Added more tests of regexp-mode compilation of
the [switch] command. [Bug 1854435]
2008-03-20 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tcl.h, generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: Tidied up the declarations
of Tcl_GetMemoryInfo so that it is always defined. Will panic when
called against a Tcl that was previously built without it at all,
which is OK because that also indicates a serious mismatch between
memory configuration options.
2008-03-19 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tcl.h, generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (Tcl_GetMemoryInfo): Make
sure this function is available when direct linking. [Bug 1868171]
* tests/reg.test (reg-33.14): Marked nonPortable because some
environments have small default stack sizes. [Bug 1905562]
2008-03-18 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* library/tm.tcl (::tcl::tm::UnknownHandler): Changed 'source' to
'source -encoding utf-8'. This fixes a portability problem of Tcl
Modules pointed out by Don Porter. By using plain 'source' we were at
the mercy of 'encoding system', making modules less portable than they
could be. The exact scenario: A writes a TM in some weird encoding
which is A's system encoding, distributes it, and somewhere else it
cannot be read/used because the system encoding is different. Forcing
the use of utf-8 makes the module portable.
***INCOMPATIBILITY*** for all Tcl Modules already written in non-utf-8
compatible encodings.
2008-03-18 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclExecute.c: Patch from Miguel Sofer to correct the
alignment of memory allocated by GrowEvaluationStack(). [Bug 1914503]
2008-03-18 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* library/tm.tcl (::tcl::tm::Defaults): Modified handling of
environment variables. Solution slightly different than proposed in
the report. Using the underscored form TCLX_y_TM_PATH even if
TCLX.y_TM_PATH exists. Also using a loop to cut prevent code
replication. [Bug 1914604]
2008-03-16 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictForCmd): Correct the handling
of stack space calculation (the jump pattern used was confusing the
simple-minded code doing the calculations). [Bug 1903325]
* doc/lreplace.n: Clarified documentation of what happens with
negative indices. [Bug 1905809] Added example, tidied up formatting.
2008-03-14 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c (OldMathFuncProc): Same workaround protection
from bad TclStackAlloc() alignment. Thanks George Peter Staplin.
* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd): Use ckalloc() to allocate
SortElement arrays instead of TclStackAlloc() which isn't getting
alignment right. Workaround for [Bug 1914503].
2008-03-14 Reinhard Max <max@suse.de>

2008-03-13 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* changes: Updated for 8.5.2 release.

libm in Cygwin and DJGPP. Thanks to Gordon Schumacher and Philip
Moore. [Patch 1800636]
2008-03-12 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: Add support for Xcode 3.1
* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/default.pbxuser: CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY and
* macosx/Tcl-Common.xcconfig: 'xcodebuild install'.
2008-03-12 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>

1470377, 219225] (default keepalive is 0)
Added ability to override Host in -headers. [Bug 928154]
Added -strict option to control URL validation on per-call basis.
[Bug 1560506]
2008-03-11 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

* library/http/http.tcl: Whitespace changes, code cleanup. Allow http
to be re-sourced without overwriting http state.
2008-03-11 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>

sub-encodings, fixes encoding-11.1 failing after iso2022-jp loaded.
[Bug 1893053]
* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: Avoid using CoreFoundation after fork() on
Darwin 9 even when TclpCreateProcess() uses vfork().
* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: Add support for Xcode 3.1 and
* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/default.pbxuser: configs for building with

* unix/tclUnixPort.h: Workaround vfork() problems in
llvm-gcc-4.2.1 -O4 build.

define to top. [Bug 1911102]
* macosx/GNUmakefile: Fix quoting to allow paths

* tests/socket.test (socket-2.11): (esp. on multi-proc machines).
* tests/fCmd.test (fCmd-9.4): Skip on Darwin 9 (xfail).
2008-03-11 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclVar.c (TclDeleteNamespaceVars):
* tests/var.test (var-8.2): Unset traces on vars should be called with
a FQ named during namespace deletion. This was causing infinite loops
when unset traces recreated the var, as reported by Julian Noble. [Bug
1911919]
2008-03-10 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* changes: Updated for 8.5.2 release.
* doc/http.n: Revised to indicate that [package require http 2.5.5]
is needed to get all the documented commands ([http::meta]).
* generic/tclEvent.c (TclDefaultBgErrorHandlerObjCmd): Added error
* tests/event.test (event-5.*): checking to protect against callers
passing invalid return options dictionaries. [Bug 1901113]
* generic/tclBasic.c (ExprAbsFunc): Revised so that the abs()
* tests/expr.test: function and the [::tcl::mathfunc::abs]
command do not return the value of -0, or equivalent values with more
alarming string reps like -1e-350. [Bug 1893815]
2008-03-07 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* generic/tclResult.c (ReleaseKeys): Workaround for [Bug 1904907].
Reset the return option keys to NULL to allow full re-initialization
by GetKeys(). This introduces a memory leak for the key objects, but
gets us around a crash in the finalization of reflected channels when
handling returns, either at compile- or runtime. In both cases we
access the keys after they have been released by their thread exit
handler. A proper fix is entangled with the untangling of the
finalization ordering and attendant issues. For now we choose the
lesser evil.
2008-03-07 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclExecute.c (Tcl_ExprObj): Revised expression bytecode
compiling so that bytecodes invalid due to changing context or due to
the difference between expressions and scripts are not reused. [Bug
1899164]
* generic/tclCmdAH.c: Revised direct evaluation implementation of
[expr] so that [expr $e] caches compiled bytecodes for the expression
as the intrep of $e.
* tests/execute.test (execute-6.*): More tests checking that
script bytecode is invalidated in the right situations.
2008-03-07 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
* win/configure.in: Add AC_HEADER_STDC to support msys/win64.
2008-03-06 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* doc/namespace.n: Minor tidying up. [Bug 1909019]
2008-03-04 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* tests/execute.test (6.3,4): Added tests for [Bug 1899164].
2008-03-03 Reinhard Max <max@suse.de>
* unix/tclUnixChan.c: Fix mark and space parity on Linux, which uses
CMSPAR instead of PAREXT.
2008-03-02 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclNamesp.c (GetNamespaceFromObj):
* tests/interp.test (interp-28.2): Spoil the intrep of an nsNameType
obj when the reference crosses interpreter boundaries.
2008-02-29 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclResult.c (Tcl_SetReturnOptions): Revised the refcount
management of Tcl_SetReturnOptions to become that of a conventional
Consumer routine. Thanks to Peter Spjuth for pointing out the
difficulties calling Tcl_SetReturnOptions with non-0-count value for
options.
* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_RETURN_STK): Revised the one caller
within Tcl itself which passes a non-0-count value to
Tcl_SetReturnOptions().
* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_AppendObjToErrorInfo): Revised the
refcount management of Tcl_AppendObjToErrorInfo to become that of a
conventional Consumer routine. This preserves the ease of use for the
overwhelming common callers who pass in a 0-count value, but makes the
proper call with a non-0-count value less surprising.
* generic/tclEvent.c (TclDefaultBgErrorHandlerObjCmd): Revised the
one caller within Tcl itself which passes a non-0-count value to
Tcl_AppendObjToErrorInfo().
2008-02-28 Joe English <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
* unix/tclPort.h, unix/tclCompat.h, unix/tclUnixChan.h: Reduce scope
of <sys/filio.h> and <sys/ioctl.h> #includes. [Patch 1903339]
2008-02-28 Joe English <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
* unix/tclUnixChan.c, unix/tclUnixNotfy.c, unix/tclUnixPipe.c:
Consolidate all code conditionalized on -DUSE_FIONBIO into one place.
* unix/tclUnixPort.h, unix/tclUnixCompat.c: New routine
TclUnixSetBlockingMode(). [Patch 1903339]
2008-02-28 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalObjvInternal): Plug memory leak when
an enter trace deletes or changes the command, prompting a reparsing.
Don't let the second pass lose commandPtr value allocated during the
first pass.
* generic/tclCompExpr.c (ParseExpr): Plug memory leak in error
message generation.
* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_AppendFormatToObj): [format %llx $big]
leaked an mp_int.
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileReturnCmd): The 2007-10-18 commit
to optimize compiled [return -level 0 $x] [RFE 1794073] introduced a
memory leak of the return options dictionary. Fixing that.

paragraph. [Bug 1898025]
* generic/tclClock.c (ParseClockFormatArgs): Changed to check that the
clock value is in the range of a 64-bit integer. [Bug 1862555]
* library/clock.tcl (::tcl::clock::format, ::tcl::clock::scan,
(::tcl::clock::add, ::tcl::clock::LocalizeFormat): Fixed bugs in
caching of localized strings that caused weird results when localized
date/time formats were used. [Bug 1902423]
* tests/clock.test (clock-61.*, clock-62.1): Regression tests for [Bug
1862555] and [Bug 1902423].
2008-02-26 Joe English <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclIOUtil.c, unix/tclUnixPort.h, unix/tclUnixChan.c:
Remove dead/unused portability-related #defines and unused conditional
code. See [Patch 1901828] for discussion.
2008-02-26 Joe English <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclIORChan.c (enum MethodName),
* generic/tclCompExpr.c (enum Marks): More stray trailing ","s
2008-02-26 Joe English <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
* unix/configure.in(socklen_t test): Define socklen_t as "int" if
missing, not "unsigned". Use AC_TRY_COMPILE instead of
AC_EGREP_HEADER.
* unix/configure: regenerated.
2008-02-26 Joe English <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclCompile.h: Remove stray trailing "," from enum
InstOperandType definition (C99ism).
2008-02-26 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* generic/tclUtil.c (TclReToGlob): Fix the handling of the last star
* tests/regexpComp.test: possibly being escaped in
determining right anchor. [Bug 1902436]
2008-02-26 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
* library/http/pkgIndex.tcl: Set version 2.5.5
* library/http/http.tcl: It is better to do the [eof] check after
trying to read from the socket. No clashes found in testing. Added
http::meta command to access the http headers. [Bug 1868845]
2008-02-22 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
* library/http/pkgIndex.tcl: Set version 2.5.4
* library/http/http.tcl: Always check that the state array exists
in the http::status command. [Bug 1818565]
2008-02-13 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

Performance enhancements in [clock format] (moving the analysis of
$args into C code, holding on to Tcl_Objs with resolved command names,
[lassign] in place of [foreach], avoiding [namespace which] for
command resolution).
