generate very large automata. An enormous number of thanks to Will
Drewry <wad@google.com>, Tavis Ormandy <taviso@google.com>, and Tom
Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us> from the Postgresql crowd for their help in
tracking these problems down. [Bug 1810264]

no-op to a cheap no-op. Improve newline usage in debug output.
2007-11-13 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
* unix/tclUnixCompat.c (TclpGetHostByName): The six-argument form of
getaddressbyname_r() uses the fifth argument to indicate whether the
lookup succeeded or not on at least one platform. [Bug 1618235]
2007-10-30 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
* generic/regc_lex.c (lexescape): Ensure that backreference numbers

* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_FindCommandFromObj): fix finding a deleted
command; cannot trigger this from Tcl itself, but crash reported
on xotcl. This check is new to 8.4 but exists in 8.5, so this is a
backport or something. Thanks Gustaf Neumann.

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

* unix/Makefile.in (dist): copy license.terms to dist macosx dir.
* unix/configure.in: install license.terms into Tcl.framework.
* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13
2007-04-21 Kevin B. Kenny <kennyb@acm.org>
* generic/tclClock.c: Restored Cygwin buildability [Bug 1387154]
* generic/tclInt.decls: Yet another round of attempting
* generic/tclInt.h: to get the correct type signature
* unix/tclUnixPort.h: for TclpLocaltime and TclpGmtime.
* unix/tclUnixTime.c: CONST TclpTime_t is a 'time_t *CONST'
* win/tclWinTime.c: and not a 'CONST time_t*' [Bug 1677275]
* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: Regenerated.
2007-03-24 Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
* win/tclWinThrd.c: Thread exit handler marks the current
thread as un-initialized. This allows exit handlers that
are registered later to re-initialize this subsystem in
case they need to use some sync primitives (cond variables)
from this file again.
2007-03-19 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_CreateThread): Replaced some calls to
* generic/tclPkg.c (CheckVersion): Tcl_Alloc() with calls to

2007-03-17 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
* win/tclWinReg.c (GetKeyNames): Size the buffer for enumerating

can be retrieved without crashing. [Bug 1682211]
* tests/registry.test (registry-4.9): Added test case for the
above bug.
2007-03-13 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_FOREACH_STEP4): Re-fetch pointers for
* tests/foreach.test (foreach-10.1): the value list each iteration
of the loop as defense against shimmers. [Bug 1671087]
* generic/tclVar.c (TclArraySet): Re-fetch pointers for the list
* tests/var.test (var-17.1): argument of [array set] each time
through the loop as defense against possible shimmer issues.
[Bug 1669489].
2007-03-10 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd): Handle tricky case with loss

* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13
2007-02-12 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* generic/tclEncoding.c (EscapeFromUtfProc): Applied patch
supplied by Mo DeJong to fix [Bug 1516109]. Backport from Tcl
8.5. Mo's description: Clear the TCL_ENCODING_END flag when end
bytes are written. This fix keep this method from writing escape
bytes for an encoding like iso2022-jp multiple times when the
escape byte overlap with the end of the IO buffer.

* doc/fcopy.n: Typo fix. [Bug 1630627]
2007-01-25 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* unix/tcl.m4: integrate CPPFLAGS into CFLAGS as late as possible
* unix/configure.in: and move (rather than duplicate) -isysroot flags
from CFLAGS to CPPFLAGS to avoid errors about multiple -isysroot flags
from some older gcc builds.
* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13
2007-01-22 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* compat/memcmp.c (memcmp): Fixed the VOID / CONST typo introduced
by the last checkin.
2007-01-22 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
* compat/memcmp.c (memcmp): Reworked so that arithmetic is never
performed upon void pointers, since that is illegal. [Bug 1631017]
2006-01-19 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: accommodate changes to prototypes of
OSSpinLock(Un)Lock API.
* tests/env.test: add extra system env vars that need to be preserved
on some Mac OS X versions for testsuite to work.
* unix/tcl.m4: ensure CPPFLAGS env var is used when set. [Bug 1586861]
(Darwin): add -isysroot and -mmacosx-version-min flags to CPPFLAGS when

2006-12-05 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* tests/pkg.test: Backport to 8.4 (Don Porter's work):
* generic/tclPkg.c: When no requirements are supplied to a [package
require $pkg] and [package unknown] is invoked to find a satisfying
package, pass the requirement argument "0-" (which means all versions
are acceptable). This permits a registered [package unknown] command
to call [package vsatisfies $testVersion {*}$args] without any special
handling of the empty $args case. This fixes/avoids a bug in
[::tcl::tm::UnknownHandler] that was causing old TM versions to be
provided in preference to newer TM versions. Thanks to Julian Noble
for discovering the issue.
2006-12-04 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
* doc/file.n: Fix confusing wording for [file pathtype]. [Bug 1606454]

2006-09-26 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tcl.h: As 2006-09-22 commit from Donal K. Fellows
demonstrates, "#define NULL 0" is just wrong, and as a quotable chat
figure observed, "If NULL isn't defined, we're not using a C compiler."
Improper fallback definition of NULL removed.
2006-09-25 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_StackChannel): Fixed [SF Tcl Bug 1564642], aka
coverity #51. Extended loop condition, added checking for NULL to
prevent seg.fault.
2006-09-25 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* generic/tclBasic.c: Reverted exposure of patchlevel in registered
core version when TIP#268 features are activated. Better compatibility
with existing packages. Like Tk.
2006-09-24 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

strings. This is coverity's bugs #54-5
2006-09-22 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>

of the structure, for better backward compatibility.
2006-09-22 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* generic/tclPkg.c (Tcl_PkgRequireEx): Changes handling of the return
information from 'Tcl_PkgRequireProc'. Keep the interpreter result
empty. Backport of fix for problem found while testing #268 under 8.5.
More details in the comments.
2006-09-22 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
* generic/tclThreadTest.c (TclCreateThread): Use NULL instead of 0 as
end-of-strings marker to Tcl_AppendResult; the difference matters on
64-bit machines. [Bug 1562528]
2006-09-21 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>

HP-UX 11.00 and beyond as having mt-safe implementations of the
gethost functions.
* unix/configure: Regenerated, using autoconf 2.13
* unix/tclUnixCompat.c (PadBuffer): Fixed bug in calculation of the
increment needed to align the pointer, and added documentation
explaining why the macro is implemented as it is.
2006-09-11 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>

* doc/msgcat.n:
2006-09-11 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* unix/tclUnixCompat.c: make compatLock static and only declare it

2006-09-10 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl (msgcat::Init): on Darwin, add fallback of
* tests/msgcat.test: default msgcat locale to
* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetVariables): current CFLocale
identifier if available (via private ::tcl::mac::locale global, set at
interp init when on Mac OS X 10.3 or later with CoreFoundation).

* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13
2006-09-08 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>

CopyHostent. Also fixed bad var names in TclpGetHostByName.
2006-09-08 Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
* unix/tclUnixCompat.c: Added fallback to gethostbyname() and
gethostbyaddr() if the implementation is known to be MT-safe
(currently for Darwin 6 or later only).
* unix/configure.in: Assume gethostbyname() and gethostbyaddr() are
MT-safe starting with Darwin 6 (Mac OSX 10.2).
* unix/configure: Regenerated with autoconf V2.13
2006-09-07 Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: Removed some false tests added (and left by
mistake) by fixing [Bug 999544]
* unix/tclUnixCompat.c: Added fallback to MT-unsafe library calls if
TCL_THREADS is not defined. Fixed alignment of arrays copied by
CopyArrayi() to be on the sizeof(char *) boundary.
2006-09-07 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* unix/configure: Regenerated using autoconf 2.13.
2006-09-07 Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
* unix/tclUnixChan.c Rewritten MT-safe wrappers to
* unix/tclUnixCompat.c return ptrs to TSD storage
* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c making them all look like their
* unix/tclUnixPort.h MT-unsafe pendants API-wise.
* unix/tclUnixSock.c
2006-09-06 Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
* unix/tclUnixChan.c: Added TCL_THREADS ifdef'ed usage
* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: of MT-safe calls like:
* unix/tclUnixSock.c: getpwuid, getpwnam, getgrgid, getgrnam,
* unix/tclUnixPort.h: gethostbyname and gethostbyaddr.
* unix/Makefile.in: See Tcl Bug: 999544
* unix/configure.in:
* unix/tcl.m4:
* unix/configure: Regenerated.
* unix/tclUnixCompat.c: New file containing MT-safe implementation of
some library calls.
2006-09-04 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* tests/main.text (Tcl_Main-4.4): Test corrected to not be
timing sensitive to the Bug 1481986 fix. [Bug 1550858]
2006-09-04 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* doc/package.n: correct package example
2006-08-30 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* win/tclWinChan.c: [Bug 819667] Improve logic for identifying COM
ports.
* win/tclWinFCmd.c: [Bug 1548263] Added test for NULL return
* generic/tclIOUtil.c: from Tcl_FSGetNormalizedPath which was
causing segv's
* generic/tclFileName.c (TclDoGlob): match incr with existing decr.
* unix/Makefile.in: add valgrindshell target and update default
VALGRINDARGS. User can override, or add to it with VALGRIND_OPTS env
var.
* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): init iPtr->threadId
* generic/tclIOGT.c (ExecuteCallback):
* generic/tclPkg.c (Tcl_PkgRequireEx): replace Tcl_GlobalEval(Obj)
with more efficient Tcl_Eval(Obj)Ex
2006-08-22 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): Fixed broken if syntax
committed 2006-08-21 by Daniel. The broken syntax is visible to all
unix platforms, but not on OSX for machines which HAVE_COREFOUNDATION.
2006-08-21 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclIOUtil.c: Revisions to complete the thread finalization
of the cwdPathPtr. [Bug 1536142]
2006-08-21 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): if the run loop is
already running (e.g. if Tcl_WaitForEvent was called recursively),
re-run it in a custom run loop mode containing only the source for the
notifier thread, otherwise wakeups from other sources added to the
common run loop modes might get lost; sync panic msg changes from
HEAD.
* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): on 64-bit Darwin,
pthread_cond_timedwait() appears to have a bug that causes it to wait
forever when passed an absolute time which has already been exceeded
by the system time; as a workaround, when given a very brief timeout,
just do a poll on that platform. [Bug 1457797]
* unix/tclUnixPort.h (Darwin): override potentially faulty configure
detection of termios availability in all cases, since termios is known
to be present on all Mac OS X releases since 10.0. [Bug 497147]
2006-08-18 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): add support for --enable-64bit on x86_64, for
universal builds including x86_64, for 64-bit CoreFoundation on
Leopard and for use of -mmacosx-version-min instead of
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET.
* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13
* generic/tcl.h: add fixes for building on Leopard and support
* unix/tclUnixPort.h: for 64-bit CoreFoundation on Leopard.
* unix/tclUnixPort.h: on Darwin x86_64, disable use of vfork as it
causes execve to fail intermittently. (rdar://4685553)
* macosx/README: updates for x86_64 support and Xcode 2.4.
* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TclUnixWaitForFile): with timeout < 0, if
select() returns early (e.g. due to a signal), call it again instead
of returning a timeout result. Fixes intermittent event-13.8 failures.
2006-08-09 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclEncoding.c: Replace buffer copy in for loop with
call to memcpy(). Thanks to afredd. [Patch 1530262]
2006-08-03 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess): for USE_VFORK: ensure
standard channels are initialized before vfork() so that the child
doesn't potentially corrupt global state in the parent's address
space.
2006-07-30 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
* tests/clock.test: Allowed UTC as a synonym for GMT in two tests that
indirectly invoke 'strftime' with the result of 'gmtime' to fix a
bogus test failure on FreeBSD systems. [Bug 1513489]
2006-07-30 Joe English <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
* doc/AppInit.3: Fix typo [Bug 1496886]
2006-07-20 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (Tcl_InitNotifier, Tcl_WaitForEvent):
create notifier thread lazily upon first call to Tcl_WaitForEvent()
rather than in Tcl_InitNotifier(). Allows calling exeve() in processes
where the event loop has not yet been run (Darwin's execve() fails in
processes with more than one thread), in particular allows embedders
to call fork() followed by execve(), previously the pthread_atfork()
child handler's call to Tcl_InitNotifier() would immediately recreate
the notifier thread in the child after a fork.
* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (Tcl_InitNotifier): add support for
* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (DoRenameFile, CopyFileAtts): weakly importing
* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings): symbols not
available on OSX 10.2 or 10.3, enables binaires built on later OSX
versions to run on earlier ones.
* macosx/README: document how to enable weak-linking; cleanup.
* unix/tclUnixPort.h: add support for weak-linking; conditionalize
AvailabilityMacros.h inclusion; only disable realpath on 10.2 or
earlier when threads are enabled.
* unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpLoadMemoryGetBuffer): change runtime Darwin
* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitPlatform): release check to use
global initialized once
* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (DoRenameFile, TclpObjNormalizePath): add runtime
Darwin release check to determine if realpath is threadsafe.
* unix/configure.in: add check on Darwin for compiler support of weak
* unix/tcl.m4: import and for AvailabilityMacros.h header; move
Darwin specific checks & defines that are only relevant to the tcl
build out of tcl.m4; restrict framework option to Darwin; cleanup
quoting.
* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13
* unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpLoadMemory):
* unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess): fix signed-with-unsigned
comparison and other warnings from gcc4 -Wextra.
2006-07-13 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* unix/tclUnixPort.h: Added the inclusion of <AvailabilityMacros.h>.
The missing header caused the upcoming #if conditions to wrongly
exclude realpath, causing file normalize to ignore symbolic links in
the path.
2006-07-11 Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclAsync.c: Made Tcl_AsyncDelete() more tolerant when called
after all thread TSD has been garbage-collected.
2006-07-10 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_CreateChannel): allow Tcl std channel
inheritance to be #defined out (default remains in).
2006-06-15 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* changes: changes to start prep for an 8.4.14 release.
2006-06-14 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* unix/tclUnixPort.h (Darwin): support for MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED
define from AvailabilityMacros.h: override configure detection and only
use API available in the indicated OS version or earlier.
2006-06-14 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/regerror.c: Enable building Tcl with Microsoft's latest
* generic/tcl.h: compiler offering (VS2005). We have to handle
* generic/tclDate.c: a number of oddities as they have deprecated
* tests/env.test: most of the standard C library and now
* win/makefile.vc: generate manifest files to be linked into the
* win/nmakehlp.c: binaries. [Bug 1424909]
* win/rules.vc:
* win/tclWinTime.c:
2006-06-13 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
* unix/tclLoadDl.c (TclpDlopen): Workaround for a compiler bug in Sun
Forte 6. [Bug 1503729]
2006-06-06 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* doc/GetStdChan.3: Added recommendation that each call to
Tcl_SetStdChannel() be accompanied by a call to Tcl_RegisterChannel().
2006-05-31 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* generic/tclNamesp.c (NamespaceInscopeCmd): revert [Bug 1400572]
fix of 2006-01-09 for [namespace inscope] as it seems to mess with
itcl scope decoding. Leaving namespace-29.6 test failure until final
cause it determined.
2006-05-29 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* generic/tcl.h (Tcl_DecrRefCount): use if/else construct to allow
placement in unbraced outer if/else conditions. (jcw)
2006-05-27 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: implemented pthread_atfork() handler that
* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): recreates CoreFoundation state and notifier
thread in the child after a fork(). Note that pthread_atfork() is
available starting with Tiger only. Because vfork() is used by the core
on Darwin, [exec]/[open] are not affected by this fix, only extensions
or embedders that call fork() directly (such as TclX). However, this
only makes fork() safe from corefoundation tcl with --disable-threads;
as on all platforms, forked children may deadlock in threaded tcl due
to the potential for stale locked mutexes in the child. [Patch 923072]
* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
2006-05-24 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_SYSTEM): Fixed quoting of command script to
awk; it was a rarely used branch, but it was wrong. [Bug 1494160]
2006-05-13 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclFileName.c (TclDoGlob): Disabled the partial
normalization done by the recursive glob routine, since changing the
precise string of the pathname broke [glob] on some Tcl_Filesystems.
[Bug 943995]
* generic/tclProc.c (ProcCompileProc): When a bump of the compile
epoch forces the re-compile of a proc body, take care not to
overwrite any Proc struct that may be referred to on the active
call stack. This fixes [Bug 1482718]. Note that the fix will not be
effective for code that calls the private routine TclProcCompileProc()
directly.
2006-05-05 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main): Corrected flaw that required
* tests/main.test: (Tcl_Main-4.5): processing of one interactive
command before passing control to the loop routine registered with
Tcl_SetMainLoop() [Bug 1481986]
2006-05-04 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

*** 8.4.13 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
* changes: updates for another RC.
2006-04-11 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Stop some interference between enter traces
* tests/trace.test: and enterstep traces. [Bug 1458266]
2006-04-10 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* changes: updates for another RC.
2006-04-06 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* generic/tclRegexp.c (FinalizeRegexp): full reset data to indicate
readiness for reinitialization.
2006-04-06 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct): It seems there
* tests/indexObj.test: are extensions that rely on the prior behavior
* doc/GetIndex.3: that the empty string cannot succeed as a
unique prefix matcher, so I'm restoring Donal Fellows's solution.
Added mention of this detail to the documentation. [Bug 1464039]
2006-04-06 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* unix/tcl.m4: removed TCL_IO_TRACK_OS_FOR_DRIVER_WITH_BAD_BLOCKING
define on Darwin. [Bug 1457515]
* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13
2006-04-05 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl: Long overlooked bump to registry
* win/tclWinReg.c: package version 1.1.4 (should have
been done for the Tcl 8.4.8 release!)
* library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl: Long overlooked bump to dde package
* win/tclWinDde.c: version 1.2.4 (should have been done
for the Tcl 8.4.8 release!)
2006-04-05 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct): Allow empty
strings to be matched by the Tcl_GetIndexFromObj machinery, in the
same manner as any other key. [Bug 1464039]
2006-04-04 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclPkg.c: Revised Bug 1162286 fix from 2005-11-08 to be
* tests/pkg.test: even more forgiving of package version
mismatch errors in [package ifneeded] commands, not even logging any
warning messages. This further reduces the
***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** noted for that change.
2006-04-03 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* generic/tclIO.c (ReadChars): Added check, panic and commentary to a
piece of code which relies on BUFFER_PADDING to create enough space at
the beginning of each buffer for the insertion of partial multibyte
data at the beginning of a buffer. Commentary explains why this code
is OK, and the panic is as a precaution if someone twiddled the
BUFFER_PADDING into uselessness.
* generic/tclIO.c (ReadChars): Temporarily suppress the use of
TCL_ENCODING_END set when EOF was reached while the buffer we are
converting is not truly the last buffer in the queue. Together with
the Utf bug below it was possible to completely wreck the buffer data
structures, eventually crashing Tcl. [Bug 1462248]
* generic/tclEncoding.c (UtfToUtfProc): Stop accessing memory beyond
the end of the input buffer when TCL_ENCODING_END is set and the last
bytes of the buffer start a multi-byte sequence. This bug contributed
to [Bug 1462248].
2006-03-28 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* win/configure, win/tcl.m4: define MACHINE for gcc builds as well.
Needed by Tk for manifest generation.
* win/tclWinConsole.c: revert 2005-11-03 [Patch 1256872] change to add
win32 unicode console support as it broke the ability to modify the
encoding to the console.
2006-03-28 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (TclpObjNormalizePath): deal with *BSD/Darwin
realpath() converting relative paths into absolute paths. [Bug 1064247]

* doc/open.n: Documented the changed behaviour of 'a'ppend mode.
* tests/io.test (io-43.1 io-44.[1234]): Rewritten to be
self-contained with regard to setup and cleanup. [Bug 681793]
* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclGetOpenMode): Added the flag O_APPEND to the
list of POSIX modes used when opening a file for 'a'ppend. This
enables the proper automatic seek-to-end-on-write by the OS. See [Bug
680143] for longer discussion.
* tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-13.7.*): Extended the testsuite to check the
new handling of 'a'.
2006-03-15 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* tests/socket.test: Extended the timeout in socket-11.11 from 10 to

* doc/fconfigure.n: Clarified that -translation is binary is reported
as lf when queried, because it is identical to lf, except for the
special additional behaviour when setting it. [Bug 666770]
2006-03-14 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* win/tclWinPipe.c (Tcl_WaitPid): Backport of fix made to the head by
David Gravereaux in 2004. See ChangeLog entry 2004-01-19. [Bug 1381436]
Fixed a thread-safety problem with the process list. The delayed cut
operation after the wait was going stale by being outside the list
lock. It now cuts within the lock and does a locked splice for when it
needs to instead. [Bug 859820]
2006-03-13 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclEncoding.c: Report error when an escape encoding
is missing one of its sub-encodings [Bug 506653]
* unix/configure.in: Revert change from 2005-07-26 that sometimes
* unix/configure: added $prefix/share to the tcl_pkgPath.
See [Patch 1231015]. autoconf-2.13.

-- Summary of changes fixing [Bug 1437595] --
* generic/tclEvent.c: Cosmetic touches and identation
* generic/tclInt.h: Added TclpFinalizeSockets() call.
* generic/tclIO.c: Calls TclpFinalizeSockets() as part of the
TclFinalizeIOSubsystem().
* 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.
2006-03-10 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@sourceforge.net>
* win/tclWin32Dll.c:
* win/tclWinInt.h:
* win/tclWinFile.c: backported some fixes from HEAD relating to 'file

* tests/trace.test: evaluations, even when execution traces or
invocations of [::unknown] are present. [Bug 1439836]
2006-02-16 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

2006-01-23 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_GetRange):
* tests/stringTest (string-12.21):fixed incorrect handling of internal
rep in Tcl_GetRange. Thanks to twylite and Peter Spjuth. [Bug 1410553]
2006-01-16 Reinhard Max <max@suse.de>
* generic/tclPipe.c (FileForRedirect): Prevent nameString from being
freed without having been initialized.
* tests/exec.test: Added a test for the above.
2006-01-12 Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSGetInternalRep): fixed potential
overwriting of already freed memory which caused all kinds of (rare
but reproducible) coredumps all over the place.
2006-01-11 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* tests/error.test (error-7.0): Test the timing of write traces on
::errorInfo. [Bug 1397843]

changes and gratuitous formatting differences, fix SC_CONFIG_MANPAGES
with default argument, Darwin improvements to SC_LOAD_*CONFIG.
2006-01-09 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclNamesp.c (NamespaceInscopeCmd): [namespace inscope]
* tests/namespace.test: commands were not reported by [info level].
[Bug 1400572]
2005-12-20 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (Tcl_GetMemoryInfo): Format values as longs
and not ints, so they are less likely to wrap on 64-bit machines.
2005-12-19 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
* doc/Tcl.n: Clarify what is going on in variable substitution
following thread on comp.lang.tcl.
2005-12-14 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclIOUtil.c: workaround gcc warning "comparison is always
* generic/tclTest.c: false due to limited range of data type".
* unix/configure.in: run check for fts API on all platforms, since
Linux glibc2 and *BSDs also have this and using fts is more efficient
than recursive opendir/readdir (sync with HEAD).
* unix/configure: regen.
2005-12-12 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* unix/tcl.m4, unix/configure: Fix sh quoting error reported in
bash-3.1+ [Bug 1377619] (schafer)
2005-12-12 Reinhard Max <max@suse.de>
* generic/tclExecute.c (ExprAbsFunc): fixed the abs(MIN_INT) case so
that it doesn't break on compilers that don't assume integers to wrap
around (e.g. gcc-4.1.0).
2005-12-09 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
* tests/lsearch.test (lsearch-10.8..10): If the -start is off the end,
* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsearchObjCmd): searching should find
nothing at all. [Bug 1374778]
2005-12-05 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
*** 8.4.12 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
* unix/tclUnixPort.h (Darwin): fix incorrect __DARWIN_UNIX03 configure
overrides that were originally copied from Darwin CVS (rdar://3693001).
2005-12-05 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* unix/configure.in: Revised fix for [Bug 1034337] from Daniel
* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: Steffen. Uses fts_*() routines.

2005-11-29 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetWideIntFromObj): Add more efficient
conversion to wides from normal ints. [Bug 1310081]
* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsearchObjCmd): Allow [lsearch -regexp] to
process REs that contain backreferences. This expensive mode of
operation is only used if the RE would otherwise cause a compilation
failure. [Bug 1366683]
2005-11-28 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
* win/tclWinSock.c (CreateSocket): Applied [Patch 1353853] to prevent
reads of uninitialized variables during cleanup.
2005-11-27 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): add 64bit support, check for Tiger copyfile(),
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).
(SC_ENABLE_LANGINFO, SC_TIME_HANDLER): add/fix caching, fix obsolete
autoconf macros. Sync with tk/unix/tcl.m4, sync whitespace with HEAD.
* unix/configure.in: fix obsolete autoconf macros, sync gratuitous
formatting/ordering differences with tk/unix/configure.in.
* unix/Makefile.in: add CFLAGS to tclsh/tcltest link to make
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
of tclTestInit.o or xtTestInit.o during parallel make.
(checkstubs, checkdoc, checkexports): dependency and Darwin fixes
* 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
loading universal (fat) bundles from memory.
* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: add support for new Tiger copyfile() API to
enable copying of xattrs & ACLs by [file copy].
* generic/tcl.h: add Darwin specifc configure overrides for TCL_WIDE
defines to support fat compiles of ppc and ppc64 at the same time,
(replaces Darwin CVS fix by emoy, rdar://3693001).
add/correct location of version numbers in macosx files.
* generic/tclInt.h: clarify fat compile comment.
* 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).
* 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
* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/default.pbxuser (new file):
* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/jingham.pbxuser:
* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: sync with HEAD.
* macosx/README: clarification/cleanup, sync with HEAD, document
universal (fat) builds via CFLAGS (i.e. all of ppc ppc64 i386 at once).
* macosx/Makefile: add support for reusing configure cache, build
target fixes, remove GENERIC_FLAGS override now handled by tcl.m4.
* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
* generic/tclRegexp.c:
* generic/tclVar.c: declare globals used only in own file as static
(sync with HEAD).
* generic/rege_dfa.c (getvacant):
* generic/regexec.c (cfind):
* generic/tclCompExpr.c (CompileSubExpr):
* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TclUnixWaitForFile): initialise variables to
silence gcc 4 warnings.
* generic/regguts.h: only #define NDEBUG if not already #defined.
* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: sync whitespace & comments with HEAD
* unix/configure: regen.
2005-11-20 Joe English <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclStubLib.c: Don't set tclStubsPtr to 0 when
Tcl_PkgRequireEx() fails [Fix for [Bug 1091431] "Tcl_InitStubs failure
crashes wish"]
2005-11-18 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* tests/trace.test (trace-34.5): [Bug 1047286], added a second test
illustrating the role of "ns in callStack" in the ns's visibility
during deletion traces.
* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken):
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TraceCommandProc):
* generic/tclInt.h (NS_KILLED):
* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_DeleteNamespace
* tests/namespace.test (namespace-7.3-6):
* tests/trace.test (trace-20.13-16): fix [Bugs 1355942/1355342].
2005-11-18 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* generic/tclIO.c (TclFinalizeIOSubsystem): preserve statePtr until we
netrieve next statePtr from it.
2005-11-18 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* 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.
2005-11-18 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* generic/tclIO.c (TclFinalizeIOSubsystem): Applied Pat Thoyts' patch
for [Bug 1359094]. This moves the retrieval of the next channel state
to the end of the loop, as the called closeproc may close other
channels, i.e., modify the list we are iterating, invalidating any
pointer retrieved earlier.
2005-11-18 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
* library/http/http.tcl (http::geturl): Improved syntactic validation
of URLs, and better error messages in some cases. [Bug 1358369]

2005-11-15 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
* tests/cmdAH.test: Backported the fix for [Bug 926016] because of
* win/tclWinFile.c: a repeated bug report in 8.4 [Bug 1353840].
Windows [file mtime] will now return seconds from the Posix epoch
correctly (except for FAT32 file systems after a DST change without a
reboot - for which there is no help). A side effect is that file times
will appear different in Tcl from the way they do in Windows Explorer
or a 'dir' listing, because the Microsoft tools get the DST state
wrong in the listings.
2005-11-09 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
* generic/tclTimer.c: Changed [after] so that it behaves correctly
* tests/timer.test: with negative arguments. [Bug 1350293]
2005-11-08 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (MAX_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): reduce to 130
based on errors seen on OS X 10.3 with lots of links in a dir. [Bug
1034337 followup]
2005-11-08 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* tests/expr.test: Portable tests expr-46.13-18 [Bug 1341368]
* generic/tclPkg.c: Corrected inconsistencies in the value returned
* tests/pkg.test: by Tcl_PkgRequire(Ex) so that the returned
values will always agree with what is stored in the package database.
This way repeated calls to Tcl_PkgRequire(Ex) have the same results.
Thanks to Hemang Lavana. [Bug 1162286]
***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***: Incompatible with those existing
packages that are accustomed to the [package] command forgiving
their bugs.
* tests/namespace.test (25.7,8): Backport test of knownBug.
2005-11-08 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclTraceVariableObjCmd, TraceVarProc): Applied
Miguel's fix for [Bug 1348775]. It is not quite as elegant as the one
applied to the HEAD, but it is easier to use it rather than fully
backporting.
2005-11-07 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* tests/trace.test (trace-13.2-4): added tests to detect leak, see
[Bug 1348775].
2005-11-04 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* unix/tcl.m4: Added code to enable [load] on LynxOS. Thanks to
heidibr@users.sf.net for the patch. [Bug 1163896]
* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13.
2005-11-04 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
* win/tclWinPipe.c: Applied [Patch 1267871] by Matt Newman which
* win/tclWinPort.h: provides extended error code support.
* tests/exec.test: Wrote some tests for this feature.
2005-11-04 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
* generic/tclGetDate.y: Added abbreviations for the Korean timezone.
* generic/tclDate.c: Regenerated.
* compat/strftime.c: Fixed a problem where the name of the time zone
was double-converted from system encoding to UTF-8. Thanks to the
anonymous submitter of [Bug 1317477] for the report and the patch.
2005-11-04 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclInt.h:
* generic/tclNamesp.c:
* generic/tclVar.c: fix for [Bugs 1338280/1337229]. Thanks Don.
* tests/trace.test: fix duplicate test numbers
2005-11-03 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings): Modified so
that multiple calls can continue to atttempt to properly set the
system encoding. Needed for Tclkit to properly support non-default
encodings. Thanks to Yaroslav Schekin. [Bug 1201171]
2005-11-03 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
* win/tclWin32Dll.c: Backported Anton Kovalenko's [Patch 1256872]
* win/tclWinConsole.c: to give unicode console support on
* win/tclWinInt.h: suitable systems (eg: NT/XP)
2005-11-01 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclCheckExecutionTraces): Corrected mistaken
assumption that all command traces are set at the script level.
Report/fix from Jacques H. de Villiers. [Bug 1337941]
* tests/expr-old.test (expr-32.52): Use int(.) to restrict result
of left shift to the C long range.
2005-10-29 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
* tests/expr.test: Fix problems in new round() tests that lead to
correct result only on 32 bit long systems. [Bug 1341368]
2005-10-29 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TraceVarProc): [Bug 1337229], partial fix.
Ensure that a second call with TCL_TRACE_DESTROYED does not lead to a
second call to Tcl_EventuallyFree(). It is still true that that second
call should not happen, so the bug is not completely fixed.
* tests/trace.test (test-18.3-4): added tests for [Bugs 1337229 and
1338280].
2005-10-27 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclExecute.c (ExprRoundFunc): Fix typo where number before
rounding is compared with smallest integer instead of number after
rounding. This fix does not change the results of any tests.
* tests/expr.test: Add round() tests for cases near the min and max
int values.
* tests/util.test: Remove pointless warning code about testobj command

case [Bug 1334947], one has the choice of leaking the object in some
cases, or else risk crashing in some others.
2005-10-22 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_CONCAT): disable the optimisation for
wide integers. [Bug 1251791]
2005-10-14 Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>

2005-10-05 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* generic/tclPipe.c (TclCreatePipeline): Fixed [Bug 1109294]. Applied
the patch provided by David Gravereaux.
* doc/CrtChannel.3: Fixed [Bug 1104682], by application of David
Welton's patch for it, and added a note about wideSeekProc.
2005-10-05 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* tests/env.test (env-6.1):
* win/tclWinPort.h: define USE_PUTENV_FOR_UNSET 1
* generic/tclEnv.c (TclSetEnv, TclUnsetEnv): add
USE_PUTENV_FOR_UNSET to existing USE_PUTENV define to account for
various systems that have putenv(), but can't unset env vars with it.
Note difference between Windows and Linux for actually unsetting the
env var (use of '=').
Correct the resizing of the environ array. We assume that we are in
full ownership, but that's not correct. [Bug 979640]
2005-10-04 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialSetOptionProc): free argv [Bug 1067708]

* generic/tclEncoding.c (TclFindEncodings): make static
* unix/tclLoadShl.c (TclpDlopen): use DYNAMIC_PATH on second
shl_load only. [Bug 1204237]
2005-10-04 Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers): now deletes any
outstanding timer for the channel. Also, prevents events still
in the event queue from triggering on the current channel.
* generic/tclTimer.c (Tcl_DeleteTimerHandler): bail out early
if passed NULL argument.
2005-09-30 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

arguments from list formatting. [Bug 1306162]
2005-09-27 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

2005-09-15 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_TCL_EARLY_FLAGS): Added extra hack to allow Tcl to
transparently open large files on RHEL 3. [Bug 1287638]
* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13
2005-09-07 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UniCharToUtf): Corrected handling of negative
* tests/utf.test (utf-1.5): Tcl_UniChar input value. Incorrect
handling was producing byte sequences outside of Tcl's legal internal
encoding. [Bug 1283976]
2005-08-29 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
* generic/tclBasic.c (ExprMathFunc): Restored "round away from zero"
* tests/expr.test (expr-46.*): behaviour to the "round"
function. Added test cases for the behavior, including the awkward
case of a number whose fractional part is 1/2-1/2ulp. [Bug 1275043]
2005-08-25 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
* generic/tclListObj.c (UpdateStringOfList): Stop uncontrolled and
unsafe crashes from happening when working with very large string
representations. [Bug 1267380]
2005-08-17 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* generic/tclFCmd.c (TclFileMakeDirsCmd): fix to race condition in
file mkdir (backport from head 2005-06-13) [Bug 1217375]
2005-08-16 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): Pushed Tcl_FinalizeLoad and
Tcl_ResetFilesystem down after Tcl_FinalizeThreadAlloc because
unloading DLLs can't happen while they still own TSD keys.
(This is a backport of changes made in the HEAD on 2005-08-10.)
2005-08-05 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
* unix/tclUnixInit.c (localeTable): Solaris uses a non-standard name
for the cp1251 charset. Thanks to Victor Wagner for reporting this.
[Bug 1252475]
2005-08-05 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Fixed a corner case
* tests/expr.test (expr-38.1): where applying abs to
MIN_INT failed to promote the result to a wide integer. [Bug 1241572]
2005-08-04 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclObj.c: Simplified routines that manage the typeTable.
2005-08-03 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclCompExpr.c: Untangled some dependencies in the
* generic/tclEvent.c: order of finalization routines.
* generic/tclInt.h: [Bug 1251399]
* generic/tclObj.c:
2005-07-30 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* unix/configure, unix/tcl.m4: revert 2005-07-28 change.
* unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpDlopen, TclpLoadMemory): workarounds for
bugs/changes in behaviour in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, sync formatting
changes from HEAD.
2005-07-29 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoGlobalsCmd): Even in high-speed mode, still
have to take care with non-existant variables. [Bug 1247135]
2005-07-28 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
* win/README: Update link to msys_mingw8.zip. Remove old Cygwin +
Mingw info, people should just build with the msys + mingw
configuration.
2005-07-28 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* unix/configure, unix/tcl.m4: defined TCL_LOAD_FROM_MEMORY on Darwin
only for SHARED_BUILD
2005-07-28 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclPipe.c (TclCreatePipeline): Arrange for POSIX systems to
* unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpOpenFile): use the O_APPEND flag for
* tests/exec.test (exec-19.1): files opened in a pipeline
like ">>this". Note that Windows cannot support such access; there is
no equivalent flag on the handle that can be set at the kernel-call
level. The test is unix-specific in every way. [Bug 1245953]
2005-07-26 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
* unix/configure: Regen.
* unix/configure.in: Check for a $prefix/share directory and add it
the the package if found. This will check for Tcl packages in
/usr/local/share when Tcl is configured with the default dist install.
[Patch 1231015]
2005-07-26 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* doc/tclvars.n: Improved $errorCode documentation. [RFE 776921]
* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CallWhenDeleted): Converted to use
per-thread counter, rather than a process global one that required
mutex protection. [RFE 1077194]
* generic/tclNamesp.c (TclTeardownNamespace): Re-ordering so that
* tests/trace.test (trace-34.4): command delete traces fire
while the command still exists. [Bug 1047286]
2005-07-24 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_PROG_TCLSH, SC_BUILD_TCLSH):
* win/tcl.m4 (SC_PROG_TCLSH, SC_BUILD_TCLSH):
Split confused search for tclsh on PATH and build and install
locations into two macros. SC_PROG_TCLSH searches just the PATH.
SC_BUILD_TCLSH determines the name of the tclsh executable in the Tcl
build directory. [Bug 1160114], [Patch 1244153]
2005-07-22 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* library/auto.tcl: Updates to the Tcl script library to make
* library/history.tcl: use of Tcl 8.4 feautures. Thanks to
* library/init.tcl: Patrick Fradin for prompting on this.
* library/package.tcl: [Patch 1237755]
* library/safe.tcl:
* library/word.tcl:
2005-07-07 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* unix/tcl.m4, unix/configure: Backported [Bug 1095909], removing
* unix/tclUnixPort.h: any use of readdir_r as it is not
* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: necessary and just confuses things.
2005-07-05 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclCmdAH.c: New "encoding" Tcl_ObjType (not registered)
* generic/tclEncoding.c: that permits longer lifetimes of the
* generic/tclInt.h: Tcl_Encoding values kept as intreps of
Tcl_Obj's. Reduces the need for repeated reading of encoding
definition files from the filesystem. [Bug 1077262]
* generic/tclNamesp.c: Allow for [namespace import] of a command
* tests/namespace.test: over a previous [namespace import] of itself
without throwing an error. [RFE 1230597]
2005-07-01 Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: protect against spurious wake-ups while waiting
on the condition variable when tearing down the notifier thread. [Bug
1222872]
2005-06-27 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
*** 8.4.11 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
* library/auto.tcl: Reverted to Revision 1.12.2.3 (Tcl 8.4.9).
Restores the (buggy) behavior of [auto_reset] that fails to clear
away auto-loaded commands from non-global namespaces. Fixing this
bug exposed an unknown number of buggy files out there (including at
least portions of the Tk script library) that cannot tolerate double
[source]-ing. The burden of fixing these exposed bugs will not be
forced on package/extension/application authors until Tcl 8.5.
2005-06-24 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize):
* generic/tclInt.h:
* generic/tclPreserve.c (TclFinalizePreserve): Changed the
finalization logic so that Tcl_Preserve finalizes after exit
handlers run; a lot of code called from Tk's exit handlers
presumes tha Tcl_Preserve will still work even from an exit
handler. Also, made the assertion check that no exit handlers
are created in Tcl_Finalize conditional on TCL_MEM_DEBUG to
avoid spurious panics in the "stable" release.
2005-06-24 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* library/auto.tcl: Make file safe to re-[source] without
destroying registered auto_mkindex_parser hooks.
2005-06-23 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: fixed useversion glob pattern to accept
multi-digit patchlevels.
2005-06-23 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
* win/tclWinChan.c: More rewriting of __asm__ blocks that
* win/tclWinFCmd.c: implement SEH in GCC, because mingw's
gcc 3.4.2 is not as forgiving of violations committed by
the old code and caused panics. [Bug 1225957]
2005-06-23 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* unix/Makefile.in (install-private-headers): rewrite tclPort.h when
installing private headers to remove ../unix relative #include path to
tclUnixPort.h (which is incorrect at the installed location).
2005-06-22 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
* generic/tclInt.h: Changed the finalization
* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): logic to defer the
* generic/tclIO.c (TclFinalizeIOSubsystem): shutdown of the pipe
* unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclFinalizePipes): management until after
* win/tclWinPipe.c (TclFinalizePipes): all channels have been
closed, in order to avoid a situation where the Windows
PipeCloseProc2 would re-establish the exit handler after exit
handlers had already run, corrupting the heap. [Bug 1225727]
Corrected a read of uninitialized memory in PipeCloseProc2, which (at
least on certain configurations) caused a great number of tests to
either fail or hang. [Bug 1225044]
2005-06-22 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* generic/tclInt.h: Followup to change made on 2005-06-18 by Daniel
Steffen. There are compilers (*) who error out on the redefinition of
WORDS_BIGENDIAN. We have to undef the previous definition (on the
command line) first to make this acceptable. (*): AIX native.
2005-06-22 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* win/tclWinFile.c: Potential buffer overflow. [Bug 1225571]
Thanks to Pat Thoyts for discovery and fix.
* tests/safe.test: Backport performance improvement from
reduced $::auto_path.
2005-06-21 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
* tests/winDde.test: Added some waits to the dde server script to
let event processing run after we create the dde server and before
we exit the server process. This avoids 'server did not respond'
errors.
2005-06-21 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
* generic/tclFileName.c: Corrected a problem where a directory name
containing a colon can crash the process on Windows [Bug 1194458]
* tests/fileName.test: Added test for [file split] and [file join]
with a name containing a colon.
* win/tclWinPipe.c: Reverted davygrvy's changes of 2005-04-19;
they cause multiple failures in io.test. [Bug 1225044, still open]
2005-06-21 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c: Made the walk of the active trace list aware
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: of the direction of trace scanning, so the
* generic/tclInt.h: proper correction can be made. [Bug 1224585]
* tests/trace.test (trace-34.2,3):
* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteTrace): Added missing walk of the
* tests/trace.test (trace-34.1): list of active traces to
cleanup references to traces being deleted. [Bug 1201035]
2005-06-20 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* doc/FileSystem.3: added missing Tcl_GlobTypeData documentation [Bug
935853]
2005-06-18 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclInt.h: ensure WORDS_BIGENDIAN is defined correctly with
fat compiles on Darwin (i.e. ppc and i386 at the same time), the
configure AC_C_BIGENDIAN check is not sufficient in this case because
a single run of the compiler builds for two architectures with
different endianness.
* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): add -headerpad_max_install_names to LDFLAGS to
ensure we can always relocate binaries with install_name_tool.
* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13
2005-06-18 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

2005-06-18 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FormatObjCmd): Fix for [Bug 1154163]; only
* tests/format.test: insert 'l' modifier when it is needed.
2005-06-07 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_FinalizeNotifier): Add dummy variable
so threaded build compiles.
2005-06-06 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
* win/tclWin32Dll.c: Corrected another buglet in the assembly code for
stack probing on Win32/gcc. [Bug 1213678]
2005-06-03 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
*** 8.4.10 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
* unix/tclLoadDyld.c: fixed header conflict when building this file
with USE_TCL_STUBS.
* macosx/Makefile: fixed 'embedded' target.
2005-06-02 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* unix/Makefile.in (html): add BUILD_HTML_FLAGS optional var
* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: add a --useversion to prevent
confusion when multiple Tcl source dirs exist.
* changes: updated for 8.4.10 release (porter)
2005-05-31 Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: the notifier thread is now created as
joinable thread and it is properly joined in Tcl_FinalizeNotifier.
This is an attempt to fix [Bug 1082283]
2005-05-29 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* win/tclWinThrd.c (TclpFinalizeThreadData): move tlsKey defn
to top of file and clarify name (was 'key'). [Bug 1204064]
2005-05-27 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* README: Bumped patchlevel to 8.4.10
* generic/tcl.h:

* unix/tcl.spec, unix/configure, unix/configure.in:
* win/configure, win/configure.in:
2005-05-26 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* macosx/Makefile: moved & corrected EMBEDDED_BUILD check.
* unix/configure.in: corrected framework finalization to softlink
stub library to Versions/8.x subdir instead of Versions/Current.
* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13
2005-05-25 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TimeObjCmd): add necessary cast
* unix/configure, unix/configure.in: ensure false Tcl.framework is
only created with --enable-framework
2005-05-24 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* tests/env.test: added DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH to the list of env vars
that need to be handled specially.
* macosx/Makefile:
* macosx/README:
* macosx/Tcl-Info.plist.in (new file):
* unix/Makefile.in:
* unix/configure.in:
* unix/tcl.m4:
* unix/tclUnixInit.c: moved all Darwin framework build support from
macosx/Makefile into the standard unix configure/make buildsystem, the
macosx/Makefile is no longer required to build Tcl.framework (but its
functionality is still available for backwards compatibility).
* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13
* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclLoadFile):
* generic/tclInt.h:
* unix/tcl.m4:
* unix/tclLoadDyld.c: added support for [load]ing .bundle binaries in
addition to .dylib's: .bundle's can be [unload]ed (unlike .dylib's),
and can be [load]ed from memory, e.g. directly from VFS without
needing to be written out to a temporary location first. [Bug 1202209]
* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TimeObjCmd): change [time] called with a
count > 1 to return a string with a float value instead of a rounded
off integer. [Bug 1202178]
2005-05-20 Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclParseExpr.c: removed unreferenced stack variable "errMsg"
probably included by fixing [Bug 1201589] (see below).
2005-05-20 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclParseExpr.c: Corrected parser to recognize all
boolean literals accepted by Tcl_GetBoolean, including prefixes like
"y" and "f", and to allow "eq" and "ne" as function names in the
proper context. [Bug 1201589]
2005-05-19 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (Tcl_InitNotifier): fixed crashing
CFRelease of runLoopSource in Tcl_InitNotifier (reported by Zoran):
CFRunLoopAddSource doesn't CFRetain, so can only CFRelease the
runLoopSource in Tcl_FinalizeNotifier.
2005-05-14 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c:
* unix/tclUnixInit.c:
* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): made use of CoreFoundation API configurable
and added test of CoreFoundation availablility to allow building on
ppc64, replaced HAVE_CFBUNDLE by HAVE_COREFOUNDATION; test for
availability of Tiger or later OSSpinLockLock API.
* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c:
* unix/Makefile.in:
* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (new file): when CoreFoundation is
available, use new CFRunLoop based notifier: allows easy integration
with other event loops on Mac OS X, in particular the TkAqua Carbon
event loop is now integrated via a standard tcl event source (instead
of TkAqua upon loading having to finalize the exsting notifier and
replace it with its custom version). [Patch 1202052]
* tests/unixNotfy.test: don't run unthreaded tests on Darwin since
notifier may be using threads even in unthreaded core.
* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): test for thread-unsafe realpath durning
configure, as Darwin 7 and later realpath is threadsafe.
* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c:
* unix/tclLoadDyld.c:
* unix/tclUnixInit.c: fixed gcc 4.0 warnings.
* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13
2005-05-10 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* tests/string.test: string-10.[21-30]
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): add extra checks to
prevent possible UMR in unichar cmp function for string map.
2005-05-06 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* unix/tcl.m4, unix/configure: correct Solaris 10 (5.10) check and
add support for x86_64 Solaris cc builds.
2005-04-29 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
* doc/FileSystem.3: Backport of doc fix. [Bug 1172401]
2005-04-27 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* library/init.tcl: Corrected flaw in interactive command
* tests/main.test: auto-completion. [Bug 1191409]
* tests/unixInit.test (7.1): Alternative fix for the
2005-04-22 commit.
2005-04-25 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* compat/string.h: fixed memchr() protoype for __APPLE__ so that we
build on Mac OS X 10.1 again.
* generic/tclNotify.c (TclFinalizeNotifier): fixed notifier not being
finalized in unthreaded core (was testing for notifier initialization
in current thread by checking thread id != 0 but thread id is always 0
in untreaded core).
* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): sync with HEAD: only declare
and use timeout var in unthreaded core.
* unix/Makefile.in: added @PLAT_SRCS@ to SRCS and split out
NOTIFY_SRCS from UNIX_SRCS for parity with UNIX_OBJS & NOTIFY_OBJS.
* unix/configure.in: only run check for broken strstr implementation
if AC_REPLACE_FUNCS(strstr) hasn't already determined that strstr is
unavailable, otherwise compat/strstr.o will be used twice (resulting
in duplicate symbol link errors on Mac OS X 10.1)
* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): added configure checks for recently added
linker flags -single_module and -search_paths_first to allow building
with older tools (and on Mac OS X 10.1), use -single_module in
SHLIB_LD and not just T{CL,K}_SHLIB_LD_EXTRAS, added unexporting from
Tk of symbols from libtclstub to avoid duplicate symbol warnings,
added PLAT_SRCS definition for Mac OS X.
(SC_MISSING_POSIX_HEADERS): added caching of dirent.h check.
(SC_TCL_64BIT_FLAGS): fixed 'checking for off64_t' message output.
* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13
2005-04-22 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Corrected intrep-dependence of
* tests/string.test: [string is boolean] [Bug 1187123]
2005-04-22 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* tests/unixInit.test (7.1): fixed failure when running tests with
-tmpdir arg not set to working dir.
2005-04-20 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclGet.c (Tcl_GetInt): Corrected error that did not
* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetIntFromObj): permit 0x80000000 to be
recognized as an integer on TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG systems [Bug 1090869]
2005-04-19 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* tests/winPipe.test (winpipe-6.2): remove -blocking 1 as this one
can truly block.
2005-04-19 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
* win/tclWinPipe.c: The pipe channel driver now respects the -blocking
option when closing. The windows pipe driver now has the same behavior
as the UNIX side. This change is to avoid a hung shell when exiting
due to open pipes that refuse to close in a graceful manner.
* doc/open.n: Added a note about -blocking 0 and lack of exit status
as it had never been documented. [Bug 947693]
***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
Scripts that use async pipes on windows, must (like the UNIX side) set
-blocking to 1 before calling [close] to receive the exit status.
* tests/winPipe.test (winpipe-6.1/2): added 'fconfigure $f -blocking
1' so the exit status can be acquired.
2005-04-13 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_SetChannelBufferSize): Lowest size limit
* tests/io.test: changed from ten bytes to one byte. Need for
* tests/iogt.test: this change was proven by Ross Cartlidge
<rossc@cisco.com> where [read stdin 1] was grabbing 10 bytes followed
by starting a child process that was intended to continue reading from
stdin. Even with -buffersize set to one, nine chars were getting lost
by the buffersize over reading for the native read() caused by [read].
2005-04-12 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
* compat/strstr.c: Added default definition of NULL to accommodate
building on systems with badly broken headers. [Bug 1175161]
2005-04-09 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* macosx/README: updated requirements for OS & developer tool versions
+ other small fixes/cleanup.
* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): added -single_module linker flag to
TCL_SHLIB_LD_EXTRAS and TK_SHLIB_LD_EXTRAS.
* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13
2005-04-05 Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
Set of changes correcting huge memory waste (not a leak) when a thread
exits. This has been introduced in 8.4.7 within an attempt to
correctly cleanup after ourselves when Tcl library is being unloaded
with the Tcl_Finalize() call.
This fixes the [Bug 1178445].
* generic/tclInt.h: added prototypes for TclpFreeAllocCache() and
TclFreeAllocCache()
* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: modified TclFinalizeThreadAlloc() to
explicitly call TclpFreeAllocCache with the NULL-ptr as argument
signalling cleanup of private tsd key used only by the threading
allocator.
* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: fixed TclpFreeAllocCache() to recognize when
being called with NULL argument. This is a signal for it to clean up
the tsd key associated with the threading allocator.
* win/tclWinThrd.c: renamed TclWinFreeAllocCache to TclpFreeAllocCache
and fixed to recognize when being called with NULL argument. This is a
signal for it to clean up the tsd key associated with the threading
allocator.
2005-04-05 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclExecute.c (ExprSrandFunc): Replaced incursions into the
* generic/tclUtil.c (TclGetIntForIndex): intreps of numeric types with
simpler calls of Tcl_GetIntFromObj and Tcl_GetLongFromObj, now that
those routines are better behaved wrt shimmering. [Patch 1177129]
2005-03-29 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* win/tcl.m4, win/configure: do not require cygpath in macros to
allow msys alone as an alternative.
* win/tclWinTime.c (TclpGetDate): use time_t for 'time' [Bug 1163422]
2005-03-18 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileIncrCmd): Corrected checks for
immediate operand usage to permit leading space and sign characters.
Restores more efficient bytecode for [incr x -1] that got lost in the
CONST string reforms of Tcl 8.4. [Bug 1165671]
* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalEx,TclEvalTokensStandard):
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SubstObj):
* tests/basic.test (basic-46.4): Restored recursion limit
* tests/parse.test (parse-19.*): testing in nested command

* win/tclWinChan.c (FileCloseProc): Invoke TclpCutFileChannel() to
remove a FileInfo from the thread local list before deallocating it.
This should have been done via an earlier call to Tcl_CutChannel, but
I was running into a crash in the next call to Tcl_CutChannel during
the IO finalization stage.
2005-01-17 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
