2007-12-31 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* doc/dict.n: Clarified meaning of dictionary values following
discussion on comp.lang.tcl.
2007-12-26 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCmdIL.c: More [lsort] data handling streamlines. The
function MergeSort is gone, essentially inlined into Tcl_LsortObjCmd.
It is not a straight inlining, two loops over all lists elements where
merged in the process: the linked list elements are now built and
merged into the temporary sublists in the same pass.
2007-12-25 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCmdIL.c: More [lsort] data handling streamlines. Extra
mem reqs of latest patches removed, restored to previous mem profile.
Improved -unique handling, now eliminating repeated elems immediately
instead of marking them to avoid reinsertion at the end.
2007-12-23 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileRegexpCmd): TCL_REG_NOSUB cannot
* tests/regexp.test (regexp-22.2): be used because it

2007-12-21 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCmdIL.c: Speed patch for lsort. [Patch 1856994]
2007-12-21 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd, Tcl_LsearchObjCmd): Avoid
calling SelectObjFromSublist when there are no sublists.
2007-12-21 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd): Preallocate a listObj of
sufficient length for the sorted list instead of growing it. Second
commit replaces calls to Tcl_ListObjAppenElement with direct access to
the internal rep.

2007-12-06 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): Simplify the setting up of

* library/init.tcl: gets rid of quite a bit of
code and makes it possible to understand the whole with less effort.
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileEnsemble): Ensure that the right
number of tokens are copied. [Bug 1845320]
* generic/tclNamesp.c (TclMakeEnsemble): Added missing release of a
DString. [Bug 1845397]
2007-12-05 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

EOL translation when not linebuffered or using lf. [Bug 1845092]
2007-12-05 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* tests/stack.test: made the tests for stack overflow not care
about which mechanism caused the error (interp's recursion limit
or C-stack depth detector).
2007-12-05 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* win/configure, win/tcl.m4 (LIBS_GUI): mingw needs -lole32
-loleaut32 but not msvc for Tk's [send]. [Bug 1844749]
2007-12-05 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>

when -exact and -integer/-real are mixed. [Bug 1844789]
2007-12-03 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>

2007-12-03 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSwitchCmd): Adjusted the [switch]
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SwitchObjCmd): command so that when
passed two arguments, no check for options are performed. This is OK
since in the two-arg case, detecting an option would definitely lead
to a syntax error. [Patch 1836519]
2007-11-29 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* win/makefile.vc: add ws2_32.lib to baselibs
* win/configure, win/tcl.m4: add ws2_32.lib / -lws2_32 to build.

always available now.
2007-11-29 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

buffer length tracking. After gethostname() writes into a buffer,
convert only the written string to internal encoding, not the whole
buffer.
2007-11-28 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclConfig.c: Corrected failure of the [::foo::pkgconfig]
command to clean up registered configuration data when the query
command is deleted from the interp. [Bug 983501]

and develop the fix.
2007-11-24 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictAppendCmd): Fix bug in [dict
append] compiler which caused strange stack corruption. [Bug 1837392]
2007-11-23 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* generic/tclIORChan.c: Fixed a problem with reflected channels. 'chan
postevent' is defined to work only from within the interpreter
containing the handler command. Sensible, we want only handler
commands to use it. It identifies the channel by handle. The channel
moves to a different interpreter or thread. The interpreter containing
the handler command doesn't know the channel any longer. 'chan
postevent' fails, not finding the channel any longer. Uhm.
Fixed by creating a second per-interpreter channel table, just for
reflected channels, where each interpreter remembers for which
reflected channels it has the handler command. This info does not move
with the channel itself. The table is updated by 'chan create', and
used by 'chan postevent'.
* tests/ioCmd.test: Updated the testsuite.
2007-11-23 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd): handle the right data for

2007-11-22 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclDictObj.c (Dict*Cmd,TclInitDictCmd): Rebuilt the [dict]
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDict*Cmd): command as an ensemble.
2007-11-22 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): Rewrote the [string] and
* generic/tclDictObj.c (Tcl_DictObjCmd): [dict] implementations to be
ready for conversion to ensembles.
* tests/string.test (string-12.22): Flag shimmering bug found in
[string range].
2007-11-21 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileEnsemble): Rewrote the ensemble
compiler to remove many of the limitations. Can now compile scripts
that use unique prefixes of subcommands, and which have mappings of a
command to multiple words (provided the first is a compilable command
of course).
2007-11-21 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
* generic/tclNamesp.c (TclMakeEnsemble): Factor out the code to set up
a core ensemble from a table of information about subcommands, ready
for reuse within the core.
* generic/various: Start to return more useful Error codes, currently
mainly on assorted lookup failures.
2007-11-20 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclDictObj.c: Changed the underlying implementation of the
hash table used in dictionaries to additionally keep all entries in
the hash table in a linked list, which is only ever added to at the
end. This makes iteration over all entries in the dictionary in
key insertion order a trivial operation, and so cleans up a great deal
of complexity relating to dictionary representation and stability of
iteration order.
***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
For any code that depended on the (strange) old iteration order.
* generic/tclConfig.c (QueryConfigObjCmd): Correct usage of
Tcl_WrongNumArgs.

2007-11-16 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
* generic/tclCmdIL.c (TclInitInfoCmd): Rename the implementation
commands for [info] to be something more "expected".
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileInfoExistsCmd): Compiler for the
[info exists] subcommand.
(TclCompileEnsemble): Cleaned up version of ensemble compiler that was
in TclCompileInfoCmd, but which is now much more generally applicable.
* generic/tclInt.h (ENSEMBLE_COMPILE): Added flag to allow for cleaner
turning on and off of ensemble bytecode compilation.
* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): Add the cmdPtr to the list
of arguments passed to command compilers.
2007-11-15 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

[Bug 1810038]
* generic/regc_nfa.c: Corrected looping logic in fixempties() to
avoid wasting time walking a list of dead states. [Bug 1832612]
2007-11-15 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
* generic/tclNamesp.c (NamespaceEnsembleCmd): Must pass a non-NULL
interp to Tcl_SetEnsemble* functions.
* doc/re_syntax.n: Try to make this easier to read. It's still a very
difficult manual page!
* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Allow people to turn off the -rpath
option to their linker if they so desire. This is a configuration only
recommended for (some) vendors. Relates to [Patch 1231022].
2007-11-15 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
* win/tclWin32Dll.c: Prefer UINT_PTR to DWORD_PTR when casting
pointers to integer types for greater portability. [Bug 1831253]
2007-11-15 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: add new chanio.test.
* macosx/Tcl.xcode/project.pbxproj:
2007-11-14 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): Ensure that we get our
count in our INST_START_CMD calls right, even when there's a failure
to compile a command directly.
* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_SetEnsembleSubcommandList)
(Tcl_SetEnsembleMappingDict): Special code to make sure that
* generic/tclCmdIL.c (TclInitInfoCmd): [info exists] is compiled
right while not allowing changes to the ensemble to cause havok.
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileInfoCmd): Simple compiler for the
[info] command that only handles [info exists].
* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode:INST_EXIST_*): New
instructions to allow the testing of whether a variable exists.
2007-11-14 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* tests/chanio.test: New file. This is essentially a duplicate of
'io.test', with all channel commands converted to their 'chan xxx'
notation.
* tests/io.test: Fixed typo in test description.
2007-11-14 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
* generic/regc*.c: Eliminate multi-char collating element code
completely. Simplifies the code quite a bit. If people still want the
full code, it will remain on the 8.4 branch. [Bug 1831425]
2007-11-13 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileRegexpCmd): clean up comments, only
free dstring on OK from TclReToGlob.
(TclCompileSwitchCmd): simplify TclReToGlob usage.
2007-11-14 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/regc*.c: #ifdef/comment out the code that deals with
multi-character collating elements, which have never been supported.
Cuts the memory consumption of the RE compiler. [Bug 1831425]
2007-11-13 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSwitchCmd, TclCompileRegexpCmd):
Extend [switch] compiler to handle regular expressions as long as
things are not too complex. Fix [regexp] compiler so that non-trivial
literal regexps get fed to INST_REGEXP.
* doc/mathop.n: Clarify definitions of some operations.
2007-11-13 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* unix/tclUnixInit.c: the TCL_NO_STACK_CHECK was being incorrectly
undefined here; this should be set (or not) in the compile options, it
is used elsewhere and needs to be consistent.
2007-11-13 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
* unix/tcl.m4: Added autoconf goo to detect and make use of
* unix/configure.in: getaddrinfo and friends.
* unix/configure: (regenerated)
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]
2007-11-13 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/regcomp.c: Convert optst() from expensive no-op to a
cheap no-op.
2007-11-13 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
* unix/tclUnixChan.c (CreateSocketAddress): Rewrote to use the
thread-safe version of gethostbyname() by forward-porting the code
used in 8.4, and added rudimentary support for getaddrinfo() (not
enabled by default, as no autoconf-ery written). Part of fix for [Bug
1618235].
2007-11-12 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* generic/tclGet.c (Tcl_Get, Tcl_GetInt): revert use of TclGet* macros
due to compiler warning. These cases won't save time either.
* generic/tclUtil.c (TclReToGlob): add more comments, set interp
result if specified on error.
2007-11-12 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c: New macro TclResetResult, new iPtr
* generic/tclExecute.c: flag bit INTERP_RESULT_UNCLEAN:
* generic/tclInt.h: shortcut for Tcl_ResetResult for the
* generic/tclProc.c: "normal" case: TCL_OK, no return
* generic/tclResult.c: options, no errorCode nor errorInfo,
* generic/tclStubLib.c: return at normal level. [Patch
* generic/tclUtil.c: 1830184]
THIS PATCH WAS REVERTED: initial (mis)measurements overstated the
perfomance wins, which turn out to be tiny. Not worth the
complication.

TclReToGlob function to convert RE to glob patterns and use these in
the possible cases.
2007-11-11 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclResult.c (ResetObjResult): clarify the logic.
* generic/tclBasic.c: Increased usage of macros to detect

* generic/tclClock.c: macros TclGet(Int|Long)FromObj,
* generic/tclCmdAH.c: TclGetIntForIndexM & TclListObjLength,

is that "nobody does that", and so it is not worth the cost. Improved
failure comments (mistachkin).
2007-11-10 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
* win/tclWin32Dll.c: Rewrote the Windows stack checking algorithm to
use information from VirtualQuery to determine the bound of the stack.
This change fixes a bug where the guard page of the stack was never
restored after an overflow. It also eliminates a nasty piece of
assembly code for structured exception handling on mingw. It
introduces an assumption that the stack is a single memory arena
returned from VirtualAlloc, but the code in MSVCRT makes the same
assumption, so it should be fairly safe.
2007-11-10 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c:
* generic/tclInt.h:
* unix/tclUnixInit.c:
* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
* win/tclWin32Dll.c: Modify the stack checking algorithm to recheck in
case of failure. The working assumptions are now that (a) a thread's
stack is never moved, and (b) a thread's stack can grow but not
shrink. Port to windows - could be more efficient, but is already
cheaper than it was.

(DoWriteChars): Special case for 1-byte channel write.
2007-11-06 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclEncoding.c: Version of the embedded iso8859-1 encoding
handler that is faster (functions to do the encoding know exactly what
they're doing instead of pulling it from a table, though the table
itself has to be retained for use by shift encodings that depend on
iso8859-1). [Patch 1826906], committing for dkf.
2007-11-05 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* generic/tclConfig.c (Tcl_RegisterConfig): Modified to not extend the
config database if the encoding provided by the user is not found
(venc == NULL). Scripts expecting the data will error out, however we
neither crash nor provide bogus information. See [Bug 983509] for more
discussion.
* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtyGetOptionProc): Accepted [Patch 1823576]
provided by Stuart Cassof <stwo@users.sourceforge.net>. The patch adds
the necessary utf/external conversions to the handling of the
arguments of option -xchar which will allow the use of \0 and similar
characters.

concatenees being empty objs. [Bug 1447328]
2007-10-28 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclEncoding.c (TclInitEncodingSubsystem): Hard code the
iso8859-1 encoding, as it's needed for more than just text (especially
binary encodings...) Note that other encodings rely on the encoding
being a table encoding (!) so we can't use more efficient encoding
mapping functions.

mentioned in [Bug 1810264].

tclCompile.h to tclInt.h, reverting linker [Bug 1821159] caused by
commit of 2007-10-11 (both I and gcc missed one dep).
* generic/tclVar.c: try to preserve Tcl_Objs when doing variable
lookups by name, partially addressing [Bug 1793601].

that it interprets leading zero strings as octal numbers, even if Tcl
itself no longer parses integers in that way.
