- * tests/stringObj.test: Tcl_AppendStringsToObj() no longer
- crashes when operating on a pure unicode value. [Bug 2597185]
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: Removed TclCleanupLiteralTable(), and old
+ * generic/tclInt.h: band-aid routine put in place while a fix
+ * generic/tclLiteral.c: for [Bug 994838] took shape. No longer needed.
- * generic/tclExecute.c (INST_CONCAT1): Panic when appends overflow
- the max length of a Tcl value. [Bug 2669109]
+2011-06-02 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
-2009-03-18 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.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.
- * win/tclWinFile.c (TclpObjNormalizePath): Corrected Tcl_Obj leak.
- Thanks to Joe Mistachkin for detection and patch. [Bug 2688184].
+2011-06-01 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
-2009-02-20 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+ * generic/tclUtil.c: Fix for [Bug 3309871]: Valgrind finds:
+ invalid read in TclMaxListLength()
- * generic/tclPathObj.c: Fixed mistaken logic in TclFSGetPathType()
- * tests/fileName.test: that assumed (not "absolute" => "relative").
- This is a false assumption on Windows, where "volumerelative" is
- another possibility. [Bug 2571597].
+2011-05-25 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-2008-02-06 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>

+2011-05-24 Venkat Iyer <venkat@comit.com>
-2009-02-05 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+ * library/tzdata/Africa/Cairo: Update to Olson tzdata2011g
- * generic/tclStringObj.c: Added overflow protections to the
- AppendUtfToUtfRep routine to either avoid invalid arguments and
- crashes, or to replace them with controlled panics. [Bug 2561794]
+2011-05-17 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-2009-02-04 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+ * 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.
- * generic/tclStringObj.c (SetUnicodeObj): Corrected failure of
- Tcl_SetUnicodeObj() to panic on a shared object. [Bug 2561488]. Also
- factored out common code to reduce duplication.
+2011-05-10 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-2009-01-09 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+ * generic/tclInt.h: New internal routines TclScanElement() and

+ machinery to produce string rep of lists. The new routines avoid
+ and correct [Bug 3173086]. See comments for much more detail.
- * generic/tclStringObj.c (STRING_SIZE): Corrected failure to limit
- memory allocation requests to the sizes that can be supported by
- Tcl's memory allocation routines. [Bug 2494093].
+ * generic/tclDictObj.c: Update all callers.
+ * generic/tclIndexObj.c:

+2011-05-09 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
- * generic/tclStringObj.c (STRING_UALLOC): Added missing parens
- required to get correct results out of things like
- STRING_UALLOC(num + append). [Bug 2494093].
+ * generic/tclListObj.c: Revise empty string tests so that we avoid
+ potentially expensive string rep generations, especially for dicts.
-2008-12-04 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+2011-05-07 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
- * generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSGetNormalizedPath): Added another
- flag value TCLPATH_NEEDNORM to mark those intreps which need more
- complete normalization attention for correct results. [Bug 2385549]
+ * generic/tclInt.h: fix USE_TCLALLOC so that it can be enabled
+ * unix/Makefile.in: without editing the Makefile
-2008-12-03 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+2011-05-05 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
- * generic/tclFileName.c (TclDoGlob): One of the
- Tcl_FSMatchInDirectory() calls did not have its return code
- checked. Some VFS drivers can return TCL_ERROR, and when that's
- not checked, the error message gets converted into a list of
- matching files returned by [glob], with ridiculous results.
+ * generic/tclListObj.c: Stop generating string rep of dict when
+ converting to list. Tolerate NULL interps more completely.
-2008-12-01 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+2011-05-03 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
- * generic/tclIO.c (TclFinalizeIOSubsystem): Revised latest commit to
- something that doesn't crash the test suite.
+ * generic/tclUtil.c: Tighten Tcl_SplitList().
+ * generic/tclListObj.c: Tighten SetListFromAny().
+ * generic/tclDictObj.c: Tighten SetDictFromAny().
-2008-11-25 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+2011-05-02 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
- * generic/tclIO.c (TclFinalizeIOSubsystem): Applied backport of
- Alexandre Ferrieux's patch for [Bug 2270477] to prevent infinite
- looping during finalization of channels not bound to
- interpreters.
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Revised TclFindElement() interface. The
+ * generic/tclDictObj.c: final argument had been bracePtr, the address
+ * generic/tclListObj.c: of a 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.
-2008-08-23 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+ * tests/parse.test: Tests for expanded literals quoting detection.
- * generic/tclIO.c: Backport of fix for [Bug 2333466].
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c: New TclFindElement() is also a better
+ fit for the [switch] compiler.
-2008-11-04 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+ * generic/tclInt.h: Replace TclCountSpaceRuns() with
+ * generic/tclListObj.c: TclMaxListLength() which is the function we
+ * generic/tclUtil.c: actually want.
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c:
- * generic/tclPort.h: remove the ../{win,unix}/ header dirs as the
- build system already has it, and it confuses builds when used with
- private headers installed.
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c: Rewrite of parts of the switch compiler to
+ better use the powers of TclFindElement() and do less parsing on
+ its own.
-2008-09-25 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+2011-04-28 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
- * doc/global.n: Correct false claim about [info locals].
+ * generic/tclInt.h: New utility routines:
+ * generic/tclParse.c: TclIsSpaceProc() and
+ * generic/tclUtil.c: TclCountSpaceRuns()
-2008-08-14 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

-2008-08-14 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+ * generic/tclBinary.c: Backport fix for [Bug 2857044].

+ * generic/tclProc.c:
+ * generic/tclRegexp.c:
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c:
+ * generic/tclVar.c:
- * 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).
+2011-04-21 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
- * unix/Makefile.in: ensure Makefile shell is /bin/bash for
- * unix/configure.in (SunOS): DTrace-enabled build on Solaris.
- (followup to 2008-06-12) [Bug 2016584]
+ * generic/tclInt.h: Use macro to set List intreps.
+ * generic/tclListObj.c:
- * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_PATH_X): check for libX11.dylib in addition to
- libX11.so et al.
+ * generic/tclCmdIL.c: Limits on list length were too strict.
+ * generic/tclInt.h: Revised panics to errors where possible.
+ * generic/tclListObj.c:
- * unix/configure: autoconf-2.13
+ * generic/tclCompile.c: Make sure SetFooFromAny routines react
+ * generic/tclIO.c: reasonably when passed a NULL interp.
+ * generic/tclIndexObj.c:
+ * generic/tclListObj.c:
+ * generic/tclNamesp.c:
+ * generic/tclObj.c:

-2008-08-13 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+2011-04-21 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
- * generic/tclFileName.c: Fix for errors handling -types {}
- * tests/fileName.test: option to [glob]. [Bug 1750300]
- Thanks to Matthias Kraft and George Peter Staplin.
+ * generic/tcl.h: fix for [Bug 3288345]: Wrong Tcl_StatBuf
+ * generic/tclInt.h: used on MinGW. Make sure that all _WIN32
+ * win/tclWinFile.c: compilers use exactly the same layout
+ * win/configure.in: for Tcl_StatBuf - the one used by MSVC6 -
+ * win/configure: in all situations.
-2008-08-11 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+2011-04-20 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
- * generic/tclProc.c (Tcl_ProcObjCmd): Fixed memory leak triggered
- * tests/proc.test: by 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.
+ * generic/tclFCmd.c (TclFileAttrsCmd): Added commands to reset the
+ typePtr of the Tcl_Obj* whose int-rep was just purged. Required to
+ prevent a dangling IndexRep* to reused, smashing the heap. See
+ also the entries at 2011-04-16 and 2011-03-24 for the history of
+ the problem.
-2008-07-28 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+2011-04-19 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
- * generic/tclBasic.c: Added missing release of extended command
- word index when deleting an interpreter (DeleteInterpProc). Added
- missing ref count when creating an empty string as path (EvalEx).
+ * generic/tclConfig.c: Reduce internals access in the implementation
+ of [<foo>::pkgconfig list].
- * generic/tclCompile.c (TclInitCompileEnv): Made same change to
- control flow as in TclEvalObjEx. Not needed while uplevel and
- siblings go through the eval-direct code path, however if that
- changes (like it did in 8.5+) better to have this in place instead
- of re-searching why certain places are without absolute locations.
+2011-04-18 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
- * tests/info.test: Added tests 38.*, exactly testing the tracking
- of location for uplevel scripts, and made the testsuite fully
- usable with and without -singleproc 1.
+ * generic/tclCmdIL.c: Use ListRepPtr(.) and other cleanup.
+ * generic/tclConfig.c:
+ * generic/tclListObj.c:
-2008-07-25 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+ * generic/tclInt.h: Define and use macros that test whether
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: a Tcl list value is canonical.
+ * generic/tclUtil.c:
- * tests/info.test: Add !singleTestInterp constraint to various tests;
- (info-22.8, info-23.0): switch to glob matching to avoid sensitivity
- to tcltest.tcl line number changes. [Bug 1605269]
+2011-04-16 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
-2008-07-24 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+ * generic/tclFCmd.c (TclFileAttrsCmd): Tidied up the memory management
+ a bit to try to ensure that the dynamic and static cases don't get
+ confused while still promoting caching where possible. Added a panic
+ to trap problems in the case where an extension is misusing the API.
- * tests/info.test: Tests 38.* added, exactly testing the tracking
- of location for uplevel scripts.
+2011-04-13 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-2008-07-23 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+ * generic/tclUtil.c: [Bug 3285375]: Rewrite of Tcl_Concat*()
+ routines to prevent segfaults on buffer overflow. Build them out of
+ existing primitives already coded to handle overflow properly. Uses
+ the new TclTrim*() routines.
- * generic/tclBasic.c: Modified TclArgumentGet to reject pure lists
- * generic/tclCmdIL.c: immediately, without search. Reworked setup
- * generic/tclCompile.c: of eoFramePtr, doesn't need the line
- * tests/info.test: information, 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.
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: New internal utility routines TclTrimLeft()
+ * generic/tclInt.h: and TclTrimRight(). Refactor the
+ * generic/tclUtil.c: [string trim*] implementations to use them.
-2008-07-22 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+2011-04-13 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
- * generic/tclBasic.c: Added missing function comments.
+ * generic/tclVar.c: [Bug 2662380]: Fix crash caused by appending to a
+ variable with a write trace that unsets it.
- * generic/tclCompile.c: Made the new TclEnterCmdWordIndex
- * generic/tclCompile.h: static.
+2011-04-12 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
- * generic/tclBasic.c: Reworked the handling of bytecode literals
- * generic/tclCompile.c: for #280 to fix the abysmal performance
- * generic/tclCompile.h: for deep recursion, replaced the linear
- * generic/tclExecute.c: search through the whole stack with
- * generic/tclInt.h: another hashtable and simplified the data
- structure used by the compiler (array instead of hashtable).
- Incidentially this also fixes the memory leak reported via [Bug
- 2024937].
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c: [Bug 3285472]: Repair corruption in
+ * tests/string.test: [string reverse] when string rep invalidation
+ failed to also reset the bytes allocated for string rep to zero.
-2008-07-21 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+2011-04-12 Venkat Iyer <venkat@comit.com>
- * generic/tclBasic.c: Extended the existing TIP #280 system (info
- * generic/tclCmdAH.c: frame), added the ability to track the
- * generic/tclCompCmds.c: absolute location of literal procedure
- * generic/tclCompile.c: arguments, and making this information
- * generic/tclCompile.h: available to uplevel, eval, and
- * generic/tclInterp.c: siblings. This allows proper tracking of
- * generic/tclInt.h: absolute location through custom (Tcl-coded)
- * generic/tclNamesp.c: control structures based on uplevel, etc.
- * generic/tclProc.c:
+ * library/tzdata/Atlantic/Stanley: Update to Olson tzdata2011f
-2008-07-07 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>

-2008-07-04 Joe English <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+2011-04-05 Venkat Iyer <venkat@comit.com>
- * generic/tclEncoding.c(UtfToUtfProc): Avoid unwanted sign extension
- when converting incomplete UTF-8 sequences. See [Bug 1908443] for
- details.
+ * library/tzdata/Africa/Casablanca: Update to Olson's tzdata2011e

-2008-07-03 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+2011-04-04 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 to workaround the bugs on some common filesystems
- where [file readable] lies to us. [Patch 1969717]
+ * README: Updated README files, repairing broken URLs and
+ * macosx/README: removing other bits that were clearly wrong.
+ * unix/README: Still could use more eyeballs on the detailed build
+ * win/README: advice on various plaforms. [Bug 3202030]

+2011-04-02 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
- * generic/tclIOUtil.c: Plug memory leak in latest commit. Thanks
- Rolf Ade for detecting and Dan Steffen for the fix [Bug 2004654].
+ * generic/tclStrToD.c (QuickConversion): Replaced another couple of
+ 'double' declarations with 'volatile double' to work around
+ misrounding issues in mingw-gcc 3.4.5.
-2008-06-23 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+2011-03-24 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
- * generic/tclIOUtil.c: Fixed bug in Tcl_GetTranslatedPath() when
- operating on the "Special path" variant of the "path" Tcl_ObjType
- intrep. A full normalization was getting done, in particular, coercing
- relative paths to absolute, contrary to what the function of
- producing the "translated path" is supposed to do. [Bug 1972879].
+ * generic/tclFCmd.c (TclFileAttrsCmd): Ensure that any reference to
+ temporary index tables is squelched immediately rather than hanging
+ around to trip us up in the future.
-2008-06-20 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+2011-03-21 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

+2011-03-16 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
- * generic/tclParseExpr.c: Disabled attempts to support [expr]
- functions named eq(...) or ne(...). Any attempts to use such

- * generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoFrameCmd): Backport of fix made on the
- * tests/info.test: head branch :: Moved the code looking up the
- information for key 'proc' out of the TCL_LOCATION_BC branch to
- after the switch, this is common to all frame types. Updated the
- testsuite to match. This was exposed by the 2008-06-08 commit
- (Miguel), switching uplevel from direct eval to compilation. Fixes
- [Bug 1987851].
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: Some rewrites to eliminate calls to

+2011-03-16 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
- * generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoFrameCmd): TIP #280 conditional

- * generic/tclIO.c (ReadChars): Temporarily suppress the use of
- TCL_ENCODING_END set when EOF was reached while the buffer we are
- converting is not truly the last buffer in the queue. Together with
- the Utf bug below it was possible to completely wreck the buffer data
- structures, eventually crashing Tcl. [Bug 1462248]
+ * generic/tclStrToD.c: [Bug 2902010]: Correct conditional compile

+ platform.
- * generic/tclEncoding.c (UtfToUtfProc): Stop accessing memory beyond
- the end of the input buffer when TCL_ENCODING_END is set and the last
- bytes of the buffer start a multi-byte sequence. This bug contributed

- -- Summary of changes fixing [Bug 1437595] --
+ * library/safe.tcl (::safe::InterpSetConfig): [Bug 2854929]: Added
+ code to recursively find deeper paths which may contain modules.
+ Required to handle modules with names like 'platform::shell', which
+ translate into 'platform/shell-X.tm', i.e arbitrarily deep
+ subdirectories.
- * generic/tclEvent.c: Cosmetic touches and identation

- * unix/tclUnixSock: Added no-op TclpFinalizeSockets().
-
- * mac/tclMacSock.c:
- * win/tclWinPipe.c
- * win/tclWinSock.c: Finalization of the sockets/pipes is now solely
- done in TclpFinalizeSockets() and TclpFinalizePipes() and not over the
- thread-exit handler, because the order of actions the Tcl generic core
- will impose may result in cores/hangs if the thread exit handler tears
- down corresponding subsystem(s) too early.

- * tools/tcl.wse.in:
- * unix/configure{.in}:
- * unix/tcl.spec:
- * win/README.binary:
- * win/configure{.in}:
+ * generic/tcl.h: [Bug 2800740]: 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.
- * tests/parse.test: Missing constraint
+ ***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.

- add CFLAGS to SHLIB_LD to support passing -isysroot in env(CFLAGS) to
- configure (flag can't be present twice, so can't be in both CFLAGS and
- LDFLAGS during configure), don't use -prebind when deploying on 10.4,
- define TCL_IO_TRACK_OS_FOR_DRIVER_WITH_BAD_BLOCKING (rdar://3171542).

- executable linking the same as during configure (needed to avoid
- loosing any linker relevant flags in CFLAGS, in particular flags that
- can't be in LDFLAGS). Avoid concurrent linking of tclsh and compiling

+ is allowed. Provide a nice error message in the bypass area. Updated
+ caller to check the bypass for a mesage. Bug reported by Andy
+ Sonnenburg <andy22286@users.sourceforge.net>. Backported from CVS
+ head.
- * unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpDlopen): [Bug 1204237] use
- NSADDIMAGE_OPTION_WITH_SEARCHING on second NSAddImage only.
- (TclGuessPackageName): should not be MODULE_SCOPE.
- (TclpLoadMemory): ppc64 and endian (i386) fixes, add support for

- * unix/tclUnixPort.h: add Darwin specifc configure overrides to
- support fat compiles, where configure runs only once for multiple
- architectures (replaces Darwin CVS fix by emoy, rdar://3693001).
+2009-07-20 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
- * macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c:
- * macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c:
- * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: fix #include order to support compile time
- * unix/tclUnixPort.h: override of HAVE_COREFOUNDATION in
- tclUnixPort.h when building for ppc64
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (StringIsCmd): Reorganize so that [string is] is
+ more efficient when parsing things that are correct, at a cost of
+ making the empty string test slightly more costly. With this, the cost
+ of doing [string is integer -strict $x] matches [catch {expr {$x+0}}]
+ in the successful case, and greatly outstrips it in the failing case.

+ * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode):
+ * generic/tclInt.h (ExtIndex, CFWordBC):
+ * tests/info.test (info-39.0):
- * macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: sync whitespace & comments with HEAD
+ Backport of some changes made to the Tcl head, to handle literal
+ sharing better. The code here is much simpler (trimmed down) compared
+ to the head as the 8.5 branch is not bytecode compiling whole files,
+ and doesn't compile eval'd code either.
- * unix/configure: regen.
+ 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
+ removes the problems with location data caused by literal sharing in
+ proc bodies. Simplified the associated datastructures (ExtIndex is
+ gone, as is the function EnterCmdWordIndex).

- crashes wish"]
+ * win/tclWinInt.h: [Bug 2806622]: Handle the GetUserName API call

+ * generic/tclCompile.c: The value stashed in iPtr->compiledProcPtr
+ * generic/tclProc.c: when compiling a proc survives too long. We
+ * tests/execute.test: 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. [Bug 2802881].
- * generic/tclIO.c (TclFinalizeIOSubsystem): preserve statePtr until we
- netrieve next statePtr from it.
+2009-06-10 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-2005-11-18 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c: Revised [format] to not overflow the
+ integer calculations computing the length of the %ll formats of
+ really big integers. Also added protections so that [format]s that
+ would produce results overflowing the maximum string length of Tcl
+ values throw a normal Tcl error instead of a panic. [Bug 2801413]
- * generic/tclPkg.c: Revised Bug 1162286 fix from 2005-11-08 to be
- * tests/pkg.test: more forgiving of package version mismatch
- errors in [package ifneeded] commands. This reduces the
- ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** noted for that change.
+2006-06-09 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
-2005-11-18 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+ * generic/tclGetDate.y: Fixed a thread safety bug in the generated
+ * library/clock.tcl: Bison parser (needed a %pure-parser
+ * tests/clock.test: declaration to avoid static variables).
+ Discovered that the %pure-parser declaration
+ allowed for returning the Bison error message
+ to the Tcl caller in the event of a syntax
+ error, so did so.
+ * generic/tclDate.c: bison 2.3
- * generic/tclIO.c (TclFinalizeIOSubsystem): Applied Pat Thoyts' patch
- for [Bug 1359094]. This moves the retrieval of the next channel state
- to the end of the loop, as the called closeproc may close other
- channels, i.e., modify the list we are iterating, invalidating any

- * tests/cmdAH.test: Backported the fix for [Bug 926016] because of

- Windows [file mtime] will now return seconds from the Posix epoch
- correctly (except for FAT32 file systems after a DST change without a
- reboot - for which there is no help). A side effect is that file times
- will appear different in Tcl from the way they do in Windows Explorer
- or a 'dir' listing, because the Microsoft tools get the DST state
- wrong in the listings.

- in the event handler itself. Instead of tracking if we are in an read
- caused by a synthesized fileevent we now track if the OS has delivered
- a true event = actual data and bypass the driver if a read finds that
- there is no actual data waiting. The flag is cleared by a short or
- full read. [[this bug amended 2004-07-14]]

+ *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** (tclInt.h and tclCompile.h)
+ Extensions that access internals defined in tclInt.h and/or
+ tclCompile.h may lose both binary and source compatibility. The
+ relevant changes are:
+ 1. 'struct Var' is completely changed, all acceses to its internals
+ (either direct or via the TclSetVar* and TclIsVar* macros) will
+ malfunction. Var flag values and semantics changed too.
+ 2. 'struct Bytecode' has an additional field that has to be
+ initialised to NULL
+ 3. 'struct Namespace' is larger, as the varTable is now one pointer
+ larger than a Tcl_HashTable. Direct access to its fields will
+ malfunction.
+ 4. 'struct CallFrame' grew one more field (the second such growth with
+ respect to Tcl8.4).
+ 5. API change for the functions TclFindCompiledLocal, TclDeleteVars
+ and many internal functions in tclVar.c
+
+ Additionally, direct access to variable hash tables via the standard
+ Tcl_Hash* interface is to be considered as deprecated. It still works
+ in the present version, but will be broken by further specialisation
+ of these hash tables. This concerns especially the table of array
+ elements in an array, as well as the varTable field in the Namespace
+ struct.

+2007-07-11 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompExpr.c: Added a "parseOnly" flag argument to

+ end goal of filling a Tcl_Parse with Tcl_Tokens representing the
+ parsed expression, or TclCompileExpr() with the goal of compiling and
+ executing the expression. In the latter case, more aggressive
+ conversion of QUOTED and BRACED lexeme to literals is done. In the
+ former case, all such conversion is avoided, since Tcl_Token

+2007-07-10 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompExpr.c: Added a field for operator precedence

+ * generic/tclPkg.c: When no requirements are supplied to a
+ * tests/pkg.test: [package require $pkg] and [package unknown]

- * generic/tclExecute.c: Tidied up headers in relation to float.h to
- cut the cruft and ensure DBL_MAX is defined since doubles seem to be
- the same size everywhere; if the assumption isn't true, the variant
- platforms had better have run configure...
+ * generic/tclCompExpr.c: Corrected flawed logic for disabling
+ the INST_TRY_CVT_TO_NUMERIC instruction at the end of an expression
+ when function arguments contain operators. [Bug 1541274]
- * unix/tclUnixPort.h (EOVERFLOW): Added code to define it if it wasn't
- previously defined. Also some other general tidying and adding of
- comments. [Bugs 563122, 564595]
- * compat/tclErrno.h: Added definition for EOVERFLOW copied from
- Solaris headers; I've been unable to find any uses of EFTYPE, which
- was the error code previously occupying the slot, in Tcl, or any
- definition of it in the Solaris headers.
+ * tests/expr-old.test: The remaining failing tests reported in
+ * tests/expr.test: [Bug 1381715] are all new in Tcl 8.5, so
+ there's really no issue of compatibility with Tcl 8.4 result to deal
+ with. Fixed by updating tests to expect 8.5 results.

+ * macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): if the run loop is
+ already running (e.g. if Tcl_WaitForEvent was called recursively),

- that indicates when we can use memcmp() to compare Unicode strings
- (i.e. when the high-byte of a Tcl_UniChar precedes the low-byte.)

- * generic/tclStubInit.c:
- * generic/tclUtf.c: added TclpUtfNcmp2 private command that mirrors
- Tcl_UtfNcmp, but takes n in bytes, not utf-8 chars. This provides a
- faster alternative for comparing utf strings internally.
- (Tcl_UniCharNcmp, Tcl_UniCharNcasecmp): removed the explicit end of
- string check as it wasn't correct for the function (by doc and logic).
-
- * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): reworked the string equal
- comparison code to use TclpUtfNcmp2 as well as short-circuit for equal
- objects or unequal length strings in the equal case. Removed the use
- of goto and streamlined the other parts.
-
- * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): added check for object
- equality in the comparison instructions. Added short-circuit for !=
- length strings in INST_EQ, INST_NEQ and INST_STR_CMP. Reworked
- INST_STR_CMP to use TclpUtfNcmp2 where appropriate, and only use
- Tcl_UniCharNcmp when at least one of the objects is a Unicode obj with
- no utf bytes.
-
- * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileStringCmd): removed error creation
- in code that no longer throws an error.

-2002-05-27 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
-
- * win/tclWinError.c: Added comment on conversion of

- not a catch-all case.
- * win/tclWinPort.h (EOVERFLOW): Should be either EFBIG or EINVAL
- * generic/tclPosixStr.c (Tcl_ErrnoId, Tcl_ErrnoMsg): EOVERFLOW can

- * generic/tclIOGT.c (TransformSeekProc, TransformWideSeekProc):
- Adapted to use the new channel mechanism.
- * unix/tclUnixChan.c (FileSeekProc, FileWideSeekProc): Renamed
- FileSeekProc to FileWideSeekProc and created new FileSeekProc which
- has the old-style interface and which errors out with EOVERFLOW when
- the returned file position can't fit into the return type (int for
- historical reasons.)
- * win/tclWinChan.c (FileSeekProc, FileWideSeekProc): Renamed
- FileSeekProc to FileWideSeekProc and created new FileSeekProc which
- has the old-style interface and which errors out with EOVERFLOW when
- the returned file position can't fit into the return type (int for

- * mac/tclMacChan.c (FileSeek): Reverted to old interface; Macs lack
- large-file support because I can't see how to add it.

- knowledge of the new arrangement of channel types.
- (Tcl_ChannelVersion): Added recognition of new version code.

- this file and removal of whitespace from blank lines.
-
-2002-05-13 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
-
- * unix/tclUnixChan.c (SETBREAK): Solaris thinks ioctl() takes a signed
- second argument, and Linux thinks ioctl() takes an unsigned second
- argument. So need a longer definition of this macro to get neither to
- spew warnings...

-2002-05-13 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
-
- * generic/tclEvent.c:
- * generic/tclIOUtil.c:
- * generic/tclInt.h: clean up all memory allocated by the filesystem,

+ * unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): move code that is only
+ needed when TCL_LIBRARY is defined to run only in that case.
-2002-05-08 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

- * tools/man2help2.tcl: Thanks to Peter Spjuth <peter.spjuth@space.se>,
- again. My prior fix for single-quote macro mis-understanding was
- wrong. Reverted to reimpliment the 'macro2' proc which handles
- single-quote macros and restored file.n text arrangement to avoid
- single-quotes on the first line. Sorry for all the confusion.
+ * unix/tclUnixChan.c (TclUnixWaitForFile): with timeout < 0, if
+ select() returns early (e.g. due to a signal), call it again instead
+ of returning a timeout result. Fixes intermittent event-13.8 failures.

- -- Changes from Peter Spjuth <peter.spjuth@space.se>
- * tools/man2tcl.c: Increased line buffer size and a bail-out if that
- should ever be over-run.
- * tools/man2help.tcl: Include Courier New font in rtf header.
- * tools/man2help2.tcl: Improved handling of CS/CE fields. Use Courier
- New for code samples and indent better.
-
- * doc/file.n:
- * doc/TraceCmd.3: winhelp conversion tools where understanding a ' as
- the first character on a line to be an unknown macro. Not knowing how
- to repair tools/man2tcl.c, I decided to rearrange the text in the docs
- instead.

-
- * generic/tclFileName.c: fix to freeing a bad object (i.e. segfault)
- when using 'glob -types nonsense -dir dirname'.
- * generic/tclWinFile.c: fix to [Bug 551306], also wrapped some long
- lines.
- * tests/fileName.test: added several tests for the above bugs.

- of the object returned by the path type function.
- * generic/tclIOUtil.c:
- * win/tclWinFile.c:
- * unix/tclUnixFile.c:
- * mac/tclMacFile.c: moved TclpFilesystemPathType to the platform
- specific directories, so we can add missing platform-specific
- implementations. On Windows, 'file system' now returns useful results
- like "native NTFS", "native FAT" for that system. Unix and MacOS still
- only return "native".
- * doc/file.n: clarified documentation.
- * tests/winFile.test: test for 'file system' returning correct values.
- * tests/fileSystem.test: test for 'file system' returning correct
- values. Clean up after failed previous test run.

+
+ * generic/tclParseExpr.c: Completely new expression parser that
+ builds a parse tree instead of operating with deep recursion. This
+ corrects reports of stack-blowing crashes parsing long expressions
+ [Bug 906201] and replaces a fundamentally O(N^2) algorithm with an
+ O(N) one [RFE 903765]. The new parser is better able to generate error
+ messages that clearly report both the nature and context of the syntax
+ error [Bugs 1029267, 1381715]. For now, the code for the old parser is
+ still present and can be activated with a "#define OLD_EXPR_PARSER
+ 1". This is for the sake of a clean implementation patch, and for ease
+ of benchmarking. The new parser is non-recursive, so much lighter in
+ stack consumption, but it does use more heap, so there may be cases
+ where parsing of long expressions that succeeded with the old parser
+ will lead to out of memory panics with the new one. There are still
+ more improvements possible on that point, though significant progress
+ may require changes to the Tcl_Token specifications documented for the
+ public Tcl_Parse*() routines.
+ ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for any callers that rely on the exact
+ (usually terrible) error messages generated by the old parser. This
+ includes a large number of tests in the test suite.
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h: Replaced TclParseWhiteSpace() with
+ * generic/tclParse.c: TclParseAllWhiteSpace() which is what
+ * generic/tclParseExpr.c: all the callers really needed.
+ Breaking whitespace runs at newlines is useful only to the command
+ parsing function, and it can call the file scoped routine
+ ParseWhiteSpace() to do that.

- ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***: But only between alpha releases

- linker v6 section alignment confusion. All these are tested first to
- make sure any D4002 or LNK1117 warnings aren't displayed. The pentium
- 0x0F errata is a recommended switch. The v5 linker's section alignment
- default is 512, but the v6 linker was changed to 4096 in an attempt to
- speed loading on Win98. I changed the default to always be 512 across
- both linkers, unless linking statically, then 4096 is used for the
- claimed speed effect. Using a 512 alignment saves 12k bytes of dead
- space in the DLL.

- +----------------------+
- | TIP #72 IMPLEMENTED. |
- +----------------------+
-
- There are a lot of changes from this TIP, so please see
- http://tip.tcl.tk/72.html for discussion of backward-compatability
- issues, but the main ones modifications are in:
-
- * generic/tcl.h: New types.
- * generic/tcl.decls: New public functions.
- * generic/tclExecute.c: 64-bit aware bytecode engine.
- * generic/tclBinary.c: 64-bit handling in [binary] command.
- * generic/tclScan.c: 64-bit handling in [scan] command.
- * generic/tclCmdAH.c: 64-bit handling in [file] and [format]
- commands.
- * generic/tclBasic.c: New "wordSize" entry in ::tcl_platform.
- * generic/tclFCmd.c: Large-file support (with many consequences.)
- * generic/tclIO.c: Large-file support (with many consequences.)
- * compat/strtoll.c, compat/strtoull.c: New support functions.
- * unix/tcl.m4, unix/configure: 64-bit support and greatly enhanced
- cacheing.
-
- Most other changes, including all those in doc/* and test/* as well as
- the majority in the platform directories, follow on from these.
-
- Also coming out of the woodwork:
- * generic/tclIndex.c: Better support for Cray PVP.
- * win/tclWinMtherr.c: Better Borland support.
-
- Note that, in a number of places through the Unix part of the platform
- support, there are Tcl_Platform* references. These are expanded into
- the correct way to call that particular underlying function, i.e. with
- or without a '64' suffix, and should be used by people working on the
- core in preference to the API functions they overlay so that the code
- remains portable depending on the presence or absence of 64-bit
- support on the underlying platform.
-
- ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***: Extracted from the TIP
-
- SUMMARY OF INCOMPATIBILITIES AND FIXES
- ======================================
-
- The behaviour of expressions containing constants that appear positive
- but which have a negative internal representation will change, as
- these will now usually be interpreted as wide integers. This is always
- fixable by replacing the constant with int(constant).
-
- Extensions creating new channel types will need to be altered as
- different types are now in use in those areas. The change to the
- declaration of Tcl_FSStat and Tcl_FSLstat (which are the new preferred
- API in any case) are less serious as no non-alpha releases have been
- made yet with those API functions.
-
- Scripts that are lax about the use of the l modifier in format and
- scan will probably need to be rewritten. This should be very uncommon
- though as previously it had absolutely no effect.
-
- Extensions that create new math functions that take more than one
- argument will need to be recompiled (the size of Tcl_Value changes),
- and functions that accept arguments of any type (TCL_EITHER) will need
- to be rewritten to handle wide integer values. (I do not expect this
- to affect many extensions at all.)

- * unix/configure:
- * unix/tcl.m4: added -pthread for FreeBSD to EXTRA_CFLAGS and
- LDFLAGS. Also triggered nodots only for FreeBSD-3.
- Added AC_DEFINE(_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS) for Solaris.
+ * generic/tclEvent.c: Cosmetic touches and identation

- localtime, gmtime and inet_ntoa for threaded build. (jgdavidson)
+ * generic/tclIO.c: Calls TclpFinalizeSockets() as part of the
+ TclFinalizeIOSubsystem().

- called on a pointer to NULL.
+ * unix/tclUnixSock.c: Added no-op TclpFinalizeSockets().
-2002-02-07 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+ * win/tclWinPipe.c, win/tclWinSock.c: Finalization of sockets/pipes is
+ now solely done in TclpFinalizeSockets() and TclpFinalizePipes() and
+ not over the thread-exit handler, because the order of actions the Tcl
+ generic core will impose may result in cores/hangs if the thread exit
+ handler tears down corresponding subsystem(s) too early.

- * generic/tclIO.c (WriteChars): Fix for [Bug 506297], reported by
- Martin Forssen <ruric@users.sourceforge.net>. The encoding chosen in
- the script exposing the bug writes out three intro characters when
- TCL_ENCODING_START is set, but does not consume any input as
- TCL_ENCODING_END is cleared. As some output was generated the
- enclosing loop calls UtfToExternal again, again with START set. Three
- more characters in the out and still no use of input ... To break this
- infinite loop we remove TCL_ENCODING_START from the set of flags after
- the first call (no condition is required, the later calls remove an
- unset flag, which is a no-op). This causes the subsequent calls to
- UtfToExternal to consume and convert the actual input.

- Before the patch the generic I/O layer held an unannounced reference
- to the interp result to store the read line into. This unfortunately
- has disastrous results if the channel driver executes a Tcl script to
- perform its operation, this freeing the interp result. In that case we
- are dereferencing essentially a dangling reference. It is not truly
- dangling because the object is in the free list, but this only causes
- us to smash the free list and have the error occur later somewhere
- else. The patch simply creates a new object for the line and later
- sets it into the interp result when we are done with reading.

- named 'stdin', 'stdout', and 'stderr' in the master interp,
- which can be different or unavailable.
- * Tcl_Main now calls Tcl_Exit() if evaluation of [exit] in the

- memory debugging is supported.
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: Moved Tcl_LogCommandInfo from tclBasic.c to
+ * generic/tclNamesp.c: tclNamesp.c to get access to identifier with
+ * tests/error.test (error-7.0): file scope. Added check for traces on
+ ::errorInfo, and when present fall back to contruction of the stack
+ trace in the variable so that write trace notification timings are
+ compatible with earlier Tcl releases. This reduces, but does not
+ completely eliminate the ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** created by
+ the 2004-10-15 commit. [Bug 1397843]

- * mac/tclMacTime.c (TclpGetTZName): fix for daylight savings TZName
- bug
+ * unix/configure: add caching, use AC_CACHE_CHECK instead of
+ * unix/configure.in: AC_CACHE_VAL where possible, consistent message
+ * unix/tcl.m4: quoting, sync relevant tclconfig/tcl.m4 changes
+ and gratuitous formatting differences, fix SC_CONFIG_MANPAGES with
+ default argument, Darwin improvements to SC_LOAD_*CONFIG.

- * doc/FileSystem.3:
- * generic/tclIOUtil.c: Updated some old uses of "fileName" to new VFS
- terminology, "pathPtr".
+ * generic/tclNamesp.c (NamespaceInscopeCmd): [namespace inscope]
+ * tests/namespace.test: commands were not reported by [info level].

- * tests/basic.test (basic-39.4): Greatly simplified test while still
- leaving it so that it crashes when run without the fix to the
- [foreach] implementation.
- * generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_ForeachObjCmd): Stopped [Bug 494348] from
- happening by not trying to be so clever with cacheing; if nothing
- untoward is happening anyway, the less efficient technique will only
- add a few instruction cycles (one function call and a few
- derefs/assigns per list per iteration, with no change in the number of
- tests) and if something odd *is* going on, the code is now far more
- robust.
+ * generic/tclTrace.c: Stop exporting the guts of the trace command;
+ nothing outside this file needs to see it. [Bug 971336]
- * tests/basic.test (basic-39.4): Reproducable script from [Bug 494348]

+ * unix/tcl.m4 (TCL_CONFIG_SYSTEM): Factor out the code to determine
+ the operating system version number, as it was replicated in several
+ places.
- * tests/util.test (Wrapper_Tcl_StringMatch,util-5.*): Rewrote so the
- test is performed with the right internal function since [string
- match] no longer uses Tcl_StringCaseMatch internally.

- * tests/string.test (string-11.51):
- * generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UniCharCaseMatch):
- * generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_StringCaseMatch): Fault with matching
- case-insensitive non-ASCII patterns containing upper case characters.
- [Bug 233257]
+ * win/tclAppInit.c: WIN32 native console signal handler removed. This
+ was found to be interfering with TWAPI extension one. IMO, special
+ services such as signal handlers should best be done with extensions
+ to the core after discussions on c.l.t. about Roy Terry's tclsh
+ children of a real windows service shell.
