2004-12-02  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclInterp.c (Alias,Target,Master): Rewrote these so that
	the aliases that refer to an interpreter are stored in a list and
	not a hashtable (which was only ever a convenience, and forced the
	use of a global mutex to generate keys!) [FRQ 1077210]
	* generic/tclNamesp.c (numNsCreated): Moved into thread-local
	storage to remove a global mutex. [FRQ 1077210]

2004-12-01  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclGetProcessGlobalValue):	Narrowed the scope
	of mutex locks.

	* generic/tclUtil.c:		Updated Tcl_GetNameOfExecutable() to
	* generic/tclEncoding.c:	make use of a ProcessGlobalValue for
	* generic/tclEvent.c:		storing the executable name.

	[kennykb-numerics-branch]	Merge updates from HEAD

	* generic/tclExecute.c:	More performance macros and special
	handling of the wide integer type for performance on 32-bit
	systems.

2005-10-07  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Macro GetNumberFromObj() is version of
	TclGetNumberFromObj() that saves a function call for common uses.

	* generic/tclInt.h:	Made #undef NO_WIDE_TYPE the default on
	32-bit systems.  Being able to use 64-bit values without leaping
	to mp_int should help with performance.
	* generic/tclObj.c:	Bug fixes in the #undef NO_WIDE_TYPE

	* generic/tclTomMath.h:	Added mp_cmp_d to routines from
	* unix/Makefile.in:	libtommath used by Tcl.
	* win/Makefile.in:

	* libtommath/bn_mp_add_d.c:	Bug fix.  For mp_add_d(&a, d, &c),
	when &a has the value -d, then the value &c computed should be zero,
	but mp_add_d was producing an inconsistent zero value with a sign
	field of MP_NEG, something like a value of -0, which other routines
	in libtommath can't handle.

	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Dropped all creation of "bigOne" values
	and just use tommath routines that accept the value "1" directly.

	* generic/tcl.h:	Explicitly standardized on the use of stdarg.h
	* generic/tclBasic.c:	conventions for functions with variable number

	* generic/tclInt.h (List): Added flag to keep track of whether a list
	* generic/tclListObj.c:    with a string rep is provably canonical.
	* generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_ConcatObj):  Do efficient concatenation and
	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalObjEx): evaluation when the list is
	canonical, and not just when the list is pure. This should make the
	"pure list" hacking introduced in 8.3 much more robust.

	integer value now pass the TCL_PARSE_INTEGER_ONLY flag.

	* generic/tclScan.c:	Extended [scan] to accept the %lld,
	%llo, %llx, and %lli formats.  Numeric scanning is now done

	* doc/FileSystem.3:
	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
	* windows/tclWinFile.c: clarify that Tcl_FSMatchInDirectory may

	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

	* generic/tclStrToD.c:	Bug fix: set shift magnitude properly whether
	we're expanding to mp_int type or not.

	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Bug fix: ACCEPT_NAN under INST_UMINUS.

	* generic/tclStrToD.c:	New macros TIP_114_FORMATS and KILL_OCTAL to
	configure acceptance of 0o and 0b numbers and rejection of "leading
	zero as octal".

2005-08-22  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

	* generic/tclInt.h:	New ACCEPT_NAN macro to mark code that supports
	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:	or disables accepting of the NaN value at 
	* generic/tclExecute.c:	various points.
	* generic/tclLink.c:

	* generic/tclStrToD.c:	Bug fix.  Parsing of +/- Infinity was reversed.

	* generic/tclTestObj.c:	Disabled unused [testconvertobj] command.

	* generic/tclBasic:	Added [expr {entier(.)}].  Rewrote int(.)
	and wide(.) to use the same guts, accepting all non-Inf doubles as
	arguments.

	* generic/tclInt.h:	New routine TclInitBignumFromDouble.

	* generic/tclInt.h:		Moved TclParseInteger to tclUtil.c
	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	and made it static.
	* generic/tclUtil.c:

	* generic/tclInt.decls:	Moved TclExprFloatError to tclBasic.c and
	* generic/tclBasic.c:	made it static.
	* generic/tclExecute.c:

	* generitc/tclIntDecls.h:	make genstubs
	* generic/tclStubInit.c:

	* generic/tclExecute.c:	errno, IS_NAN, IS_INF, LLD no longer called in
	this file; dropped/disabled support for them.

	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	errno no longer used in these files;
	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	dropped support "hack" for it.

	* generic/tclStrToD.c:	Disabled out of date support "hack" for errno.

	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Eliminated VerifyExprObjType.  Initialize
	errno to zero in OldMathFuncProc.

2005-08-19  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Updated OldMathFuncProc and ExprAbsFunc to
	do less invasion into numeric Tcl_Obj internals.  Made ExprDoubleFunc,
	ExprIntFunc, ExprWideFunc, and ExprRoundFunc bignum-aware.  Revised
	ExprSrandFunc error message.

	* generic/tclProc.c:	Wrapped a few tclWideIntType uses in 
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	#ifndef NO_WIDE_TYPE.

	* generic/tclInt.h:	#define'd NO_WIDE_TYPE.

	* generic/tclVar.c:	Replaced TclPtrIncrVar and TclPtrIncrWideVar
	* generic/tclInt.h:	with TclPtrIncrObjVar and replaced TclIncrVar2
	* generic/tclInt.decls:	and TclIncrWideVar2 with TclIncrObjVar2.  New
	routines call on TclIncrObj to do the work.

	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:	make genstubs
	* generic/tclStubInit.c:

	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:	Rework Tcl_IncrObjCmd and the INST_*INCR*

2005-08-18  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

	* generic/tclExecute.c:		Fixed string rep invalidation bug in
	* tests/dict.test (dict-11.17):	INST_DICT_INCR_IMM rewrite.

	* generic/tclDictObj.c:	DictIncrCmd rewrite to use TclIncrObj.

	* generic/tclInt.h:	TclIncrObj static -> internal
	* generic/tclExecute.c:

2005-08-17  George Peter Staplin <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclBasic.c: eliminate a namespace clash caused by
	BuiltinFuncTable not being static.

	* generic/tclObj.c: fix a namespace clash caused by a missing
	static for pendingObjData.

2005-08-17  Kevin Kenny  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): Removed a copy-and-paste
	accident that caused a (mostly harmless) double finalize of the
	load and filesystem subsystems.
	* tests/clock.test: Eliminated the bad test clock-43.1, and split
	clock-50.1 into two tests, with a more permissive check on the
	error message for an out-of-range value.

2005-08-17  Kevin Kenny  <[email protected]>

	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_Expr{Long,Double}{,Obj}): Updated to
	* generic/tclTest.c:                                deal with
	* tests/expr-old.test:                              bignums (well, 
	* tests/expr.test:                                  mostly).
	Added a missing "errno=0;" in ExprUnaryFunc so that spurious
	error returns aren't detected. 
	Added test cases for Tcl_Expr* and Tcl_Expr*Obj because
	there was very poor test coverage in those areas.
	* generic/tclParseExpr.c: Reworked parsing of numbers to call
	TclParseNumber rather than trying to do things locally.
	* generic/tclStrToD.c: Corrected a comment. Changed so that
	*endPtrPtr does not include any trailing whitespace.
	
2005-08-17  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

	* generic/tclExecute.c:	New routine TclIncrObj to centralize the
	increment operation needed in many places.  Updated
	INST_DICT_INCR_IMM to make use of it.

2005-08-16  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Made bit shifting opcodes and INST_MOD
	bignum-aware.

	* tests/scan.test:	Making << bignum-aware means that repeated
	* tests/string.test:	left shifting cannot turn a positive into
	a negative.  Revised [int_range] and [largest_int] utility commands
	in the test suite that relied on that happening.  Without revision
	they became infinite loops.

	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Made binary bitwise opcodes bignum-aware.

	* generic/tclTomMath.h:	Added mp_or and mp_xor to routines from
	* unix/Makefile.in:	libtommath used by Tcl.
	* win/Makefile.in:
	* win/makefile.vc:

2005-08-15  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	[kennykb-numerics-branch]	Updates from HEAD.
	* generic/tclExecute.c:	More revisions to IllegalExprOperandType.
	Merged INST_BITNOT with INST_UMINUS and make it bignum-aware
	according to the rule: ~a = -a - 1.  Disabled unused code and
	noted more TODOs.

	* generic/tclInt.decls: Disabled TclLooksLikeInt() and all callers.
	* generic/tclUtil.c:
	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:

	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Rewrite of VerifyExprObjType().

	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:	make genstubs
	* generic/tclStubInit.c:

	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Updated execution of comparison bytecodes
	to be bignum-aware, routing string compares through INST_STR_CMP.

2005-08-14  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Updated execution of arithmetic bytecodes
	to be bignum-aware, and to allow calculations on NaN to produce
	a NaN result.  INST_UMINUS updated to call mp_neg.

	* generic/tclTomMath.h:	Added mp_and, mp_expt_d, and mp_neg to
	* unix/Makefile.in:	routines from libtommath used by Tcl.
	* win/Makefile.in:
	* win/makefile.vc:

2005-08-13  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

	* generic/tclObj.c:	Extended Bignum auto-narrowing to auto-narrow
	to tclWideIntType when appropriate; this helps keep things working as
	the bytecode execution code is migrated to supporting bignums.

	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Major overhaul of IllegalExprOperandType.
	Changed several TclNewFooObj() calls to more logically appropriate
	ones.  Added several TODO comments marking opportunies for future
	work.  Made more use of the eePtr->constants.  Made INST_UMINUS
	bignum aware.

2005-08-12  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Simplify doCondJump.  Use eePtr->constants
	as result of INST_DICT_NEXT, INST_LAND, and INST_LOR.  Separate
	INST_LNOT from INST_UMINUS and simplify.

2004-08-12  Kevin Kenny  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclClock.c (MktimeObjCmd):
	* library/clock.tcl (GetSystemTimeZone, LoadZoneinfoFile,
	ReadZoneinfoFile):
	* tests/clock.test (clock-50.1):
	Added functionality to read /etc/localtime if it exists, so that
	Tcl's time can track system time on Linux even if TZ is not set.
	Changed ::tcl::clock::Mktime to check for failure, and added a
	test case that mimics failure but is really success.
	
2005-08-11  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Rewrite of INST_LAND/INST_LOR to take
	advantage of loss of "pure double" issues.  Merged INST_UPLUS
	with INST_TRY_CVT_TO_NUMERIC and updated to use improved rules
	for impure "double"s as well.

	* generic/tclStrToD.c:	Restored conditional generation of
	tclWideIntType values by TclParseNumber so that Tcl's not
	completely broken while bignum calculation support is incomplete.
	The NO_WIDE_TYPE macro can be used to disable this.

	* generic/tclBasic.c (ExprAbsFunc):	First pass making [expr abs(.)]
	bignum-aware.

2004-08-11  Kevin Kenny  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclEvent.c:          Eliminated the USE_THREAD_STORAGE
	* generic/tclInt.h:            option (which is on in every build
	* generic/tclThread.c:         generated by the standard configurator).
	* generic/tclThreadStorage.c:  Eliminated the code for thread
	* unix/configure:              specific data without USE_THREAD_STORAGE
	* unix/tcl.m4:                 and radically refactored the code
	* unix/tclConfig.h.in:         for USE_THREAD_STORAGE so that it
	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:          has fewer dependencies on the order
	* win/configure:               of finalization.  (Also, made
	* win/Makefile.in:             'make distclean' on Windows clean
	* win/rules.vc:                just a little bit cleaner.)
	* win/tcl.m4:
	* win/tclWinThrd.c:
	
2005-08-10  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

	* generic/tclTomMath.h:	Added mp_shrink, mp_to_unsigned_bin,
	* unix/Makefile.in:	mp_to_unsigned_bin_n, and mp_unsigned_bin_size
	* win/Makefile.in:	to routines from libtommath used by Tcl.
	* win/makefile.vc:

	* generic/tommath.h:	make gentommath_h

	* generic/tclObj.c:	Substantial rewrite to make all number
	parsing flow through TclParseNumber().  Also established the
	NO_WIDE_TYPE and BIGNUM_AUTO_NARROW #ifdef's to help track the
	assumptions of different portions of the code.

	* generic/tclInt.h:	Added NO_WIDE_TYPE #ifdefs

2005-08-10  Kevin Kenny  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): Pushed Tcl_FinalizeLoad and
	Tcl_ResetFilesystem down after Tcl_FinalizeThreadAlloc because
	we can't unload DLL's until after their TSD keys are finalized.
	(Note that we'll still see aborts if an unloaded DLL has TSD -
	that still needs to be fixed.

	* tests/compExpr-old.test (compExpr-3.8): Made tests conditional on
	* tests/expr.test (expr-3.8):             'unix' because they get
	                                          stack overflows on Win32
	                                          threaded builds,

2005-08-09  Vince Darley  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclPathObj.c: fix to [file rootname] bug in optimized
	code path reported on comp.lang.tcl.

2005-08-08  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

	* generic/tclObj.c:	Replaced some goto's with loops and started
	use of BIGNUM_AUTO_NARROW and NO_WIDE_TYPE.

2005-08-06  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclThreadStorage.c: Stop exposing the guts of the thread
	storage system through the internal stubs table. Client code
	should always use the standard API.

2005-08-05  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	[kennykb-numerics-branch]
	* generic/tclObj.c:	Rewrote Tcl_GetDoubleFromObj().

2005-08-05  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* 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  <[email protected]ourceforge.net>

	* win/makefile.vc: Removed unused file ldAout.tcl.
	* win/makefile.bc: [Bug #1244361]

	* tests/binary.test: Cleaned up testing for scanning of NaN.
			     [Bug #1246264]

	* generic/tclBasic.c (ExprAbsFunc): Added code to handle the
	* tests/expr.test (expr-38.1):      corner case of applying
	'abs' to the smallest 32-bit integer. [Bug #1241572]

2005-08-04  Andreas Kupries <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclIO.c (CloseChannel): Fixed comment nit, added
	  apparently missing word to complete a sentence.

	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_DbDecrRefCount): Fixed whitespace nit in
	  panic message.

2005-08-04  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	[kennykb-numerics-branch] Updated from HEAD

	* generic/tclObj.c:	Rewrote Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj() and supporting
	routines to make use of TclParseNumber.  This reduces the potential
	number of times a string value must be scanned.

	* generic/tclObj.c:	Simplified routines that manage the typeTable.
	Deleted the UpdateStringOfBoolean() routine, that can never be called.

2005-08-03  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Untangled some dependencies in the
	* generic/tclEvent.c:		order of finalization routines.
	* generic/tclInt.h:		[Bug 1251399]
	* generic/tclObj.c:

	for bugs/changes in behaviour in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.

2005-07-29  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* 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  <[email protected]>

	* win/README: Update link to msys_mingw8.zip.

2005-07-28  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* tests/compExpr-old.test:	Still more conversion of "nonPortable"
	* tests/error.test:		tests into tests with constraints that
	* tests/expr-old.test:		describe the limits of their
	* tests/expr.test:		portability.  Also more consolidation
	* tests/fileName.test:		of constraint synonyms.
	* tests/format.test:		wideis64bit, 64bitInts => wideIs64bit
	* tests/get.test:		wideIntegerUnparsed => wideIs32bit
	* tests/load.test:		wideIntExpressions => wideBiggerThanInt
	* tests/obj.test:
	* tests/parseExpr.test:		Dropped "roundOffBug" constraint that
	* tests/string.test:		protected from buggy sprintf.

2005-07-28  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* 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]

2005-07-27  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* generic/tclUtil.c:	Converted the $::tcl_precision value to be
	kept per-thread to prevent different threads from stomping on each
	others' formatting prescriptions.

	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** Multi-threaded programs that set
	the value of ::tcl_precision will now have to set it in each thread.

	* tests/expr.test:	Consolidated equivalent constraints into
	* tests/fileName.test:	single definitions and (more precise) names:
	* tests/get.test:	longis32bit, 32bit, !intsAre64bit => longIs32bit
	* tests/listObj.test:	empty => emptyTest; winOnly => win
	* tests/obj.test:	intsAre64bit => longIs64bit
	Also updated some "nonPortable" tests to use constraints that mark
	precisely what about them isn't portable, so the tests can run where
	they work.

	* library/init.tcl ([unknown]):	Corrected return code handling
	in the portions of [unknown] that expand incomplete commands
	during interactive operations.	[Bug 1214462].

2005-07-26  Mo DeJong  <[email protected]>

	* 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	<[email protected]>

	* 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  <[email protected]>

	* unix/configure: Regen.
	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_PROG_TCLSH, SC_BUILD_TCLSH):
	* win/configure: Regen.
	* 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.

2005-07-23  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* library/auto.tcl:	Updates to the Tcl script library to make

	* win/README: Update msys + mingw URL.
	Remove old Cygwin + mingw info.

2005-07-23  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_DICT_*): stop 2 compiler
	warnings for uninitialised variables.

2005-07-23  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC:INST_DICT_INCR_IMM): Fix the
	incrementor to work correctly with wide values.

2005-07-21  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictCmd): First run at a compiler
	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): for dictionaries.
	Also added an instruction to support 'finally'-like clauses, exposed
	more of the dict guts to the rest of the core, and defined a few
	tests to exercise more obscure parts of the compiler's operation that
	were bugs during development.

2005-07-21  Kevin B. Kenny  <[email protected]>

	* library/ldAout.tcl (***REMOVED***):	Removed support for ancient
	* unix/configure:			BSD's, IRIX 4, RISCos and
	* unix/Makefile.in:			Ultrix.	 Removed two files
	* unix/tcl.m4:				whose code is used only on
	* unix/tclLoadAout.c (***REMOVED***):	those antique platforms.

	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** if anyone actually uses those
	platforms; it is to be noted though, that an error in the
	installer has actually not caused a necessary file to be installed
	on those platforms in several releases, and nobody's complained.

2005-07-16  Kevin B. Kenny  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclStrToD.c (RefineResult):  Plugged a stupid memory
	leak in RefineResult (called from Tcl_StrToD).	[Tk Bug 1227781]

2005-07-15  Kevin B. Kenny  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclClock.c (TclClockLocaltimeObjCmd,ThreadSafeLocalTime):
	* library/clock.tcl (GuessWindowsTimeZone, ClearCaches):
	* tests/clock.test (clock-49.1, clock-49.2):
	Handle correctly the case where localtime() returns NULL to
	report a conversion error.  Also handle the case where the Windows
	registry contains timezone values that can be mapped to a tzdata
	file name but the corresponding file does not exist or is
	corrupted, by falling back on a Posix timezone string instead;
	this last case will avoid calls to localtime() in starpacks on
	Windows. [Bug 1237907]

2005-07-14  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclCompile.c: Update to follow style guidelines.
	(TclPrintInstruction): Reorganize to do better printing out of
	bytecode with far fewer "special hacks" for particular opcodes.
	* generic/tclCompile.h: Requires two new opcode types.

2005-07-13  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* unix/tclUnixSock.c:	Use a ProcessGlobalValue to store the
	* win/tclWinSock.c:	value returned by Tcl_GetHostName()
	([info hostname]).  Also re-order initialization of the value
	on Windows to favor GetComputerName() over gethostname() as
	a source of the information.

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd):
	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetDoubleFromObj, SetDoubleFromAny,
	                    Tcl_GetIntFromObj, SetIntOrWideFromAny):
	* generic/tclStrToD.c (TclParseNumber, etc.):
	* tclTomMathInterface.c (TclBNInitBignumFromWideUInt):
	* tests/obj.test (obj-1.1, obj-2.2, obj-3.1, obj-3.2):
	
	Initial attempt at an implementation of TIP #249, comprising
	a unified parser and modifications to the Tcl_Get*FromObj
	routines to use it.  Further integration of the parser is
	necessary and planned.
	
2005-07-12  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* doc/lsearch.n: Clarify documentation of -exact option; wording was
	open to misinterpretation by non-English speakers.

2005-07-11  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclExecute.c: General style cleanup.

2005-07-08  Mo DeJong  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Reimplement long and wide
	type integer division and modulus operations so that the smallest and
	largest integer values are handled properly.  The divide operation is
	more efficient since it no longer does a modulus or negation and only
	checks for a remainder when the quotient will be a negative number.
	The modulus operation is now a bit more complex because of a number of
	special cases dealing with the smallest and largest integers.
	* tests/expr.test: Add test cases for division and modulus operations
	on the smallest and largest integer values for 32 and 64 bit types.
	[Patch 1230205]

2005-07-06  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* generic/tclLink.c:	Simplified LinkTraceProc [Bug 1208108].

2005-07-05  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* unix/Makefile.in:	Purged use of TCLTESTARGS [RFE 1161550].

	* generic/tclUtil.c:	Converted TclFormatInt() into a macro.
	* generic/tclInt.decls:	[RFE 1194015]
	* generic/tclInt.h:

	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:	make genstubs
	* generic/tclStubInit.c:

	* 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]

2005-07-04  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictForCmd, DictFilterCmd): Interlocking of
	dictionary internal representations is now done in the core of the
	dict iterator. Purge the last attempts at doing it at a higher level
	as they didn't work and were no longer needed.

2005-07-01  Zoran Vasiljevic <[email protected]>

	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: protect against spurious wake-ups while
	waiting on the condition variable when tearing down the notifier
	thread [Bug# 1222872].

2005-06-28  Mo DeJong  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): When parsing an integer
	operand for a unary minus expression operator, check for a wide
	integer that is actually LONG_MIN. If found, convert it back to a long
	int type.
	* tests/expr.test: Add constraint for 32bit long int type and 64bit
	wide int type. Add tests that parse the smallest/largest long int and
	wide int values.

2004-06-24  Kevin Kenny	 <[email protected]>

	* 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 that
	Tcl_Preserve will still work even from an exit handler.

2005-06-24  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* library/auto.tcl:	Make file safe to re-[source] without
	destroying registered auto_mkindex_parser hooks.

2005-06-23  Kevin Kenny	 <[email protected]>

	* win/tclWinChan.c: More rewriting of __asm__ blocks that implement
	* win/tclWinFCmd.c: 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  <[email protected]>

	* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: fixed useversion glob pattern to accept
	multi-digit patchlevels.

2005-06-22  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* win/tclWinFile.c: Potential buffer overflow.	[Bug 1225571]
	Thanks to Pat Thoyts for discovery and fix.

2005-06-22  Kevin Kenny <[email protected]>

	* 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]
	Also corrected a potential read of uninitialized memory in
	PipeClose2Proc [Bug #1225044]

2005-06-21  Andreas Kupries <[email protected]>

	* 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.

2005-06-21  Kevin B. Kenny  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclFileName.c: Changed [file split] and [file join] to treat
	Windows drive letters similarly to ~ syntax and make sure that they
	appear with "./" in front when they are in intermediate components of
	the path. [Bug 1194458]
	* tests/fileName.test: Added test for the above bug.

2005-06-21  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Added missing walk of the list of active traces
	* generic/tclTrace.c:	to cleanup references to traces being deleted.
	* generic/tclInt.h:	[Bug 1201035] Made the walk of the active trace
	* tests/trace.test (trace-34.*): list aware of the direction of trace
	scanning, so the proper correction can be made. [Bug 1224585]

2005-06-21  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_SYMBOLS): Only enable the 'compile' special
	debugging feature when requested in configure.in; removes irrelevant
	junk from the configure files of extensions that use Tcl's tcl.m4.

2005-06-20  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclCompile.h (INST_PUSH_RETURN_OPTIONS): New opcode to allow
	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileCatchCmd):	   compilation of TIP90
	* generic/tclCompile.c:				   catch [Bug 1219112]
	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode):

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSwitchCmd): Ensure we spill to the
	command form in all cases where it generates an error.

2005-06-20  Mo DeJong  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SwitchObjCmd): Generate an error if a mode
	argument like -exact is passed more than once to the switch command.
	The previous implementation silently accepted invalid switch
	invocations like [switch -exact -glob $str ...].
	* tests/for.test: Check some error cases when invoking continue and
	break inside a for loop next script.
	* tests/switch.test: Add checks for shortened version of a mode
	argument like -exact. Add test for more than one mode argument. Add
	test for odd case of passing a variable as a body script.

2005-06-18  Daniel Steffen  <[email protected]>

	* 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-2.59

2005-06-18  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FormatObjCmd): Fix for [Bug 1154163]; only
	* tests/format.test: insert 'l' modifier when it is needed.

2005-06-17  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclTimer.c (AfterDelay): Split out the code to manage
	synchronous-delay [after] commands.
	* tests/interp.test (interp-34.10): Time limits and synch-delay
	[after] did not mix well... [Bug 1221395]

2005-06-14  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken): Only delete a
	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-49.2): command from the hashtable on
	reentrant processing if it has not been already deleted; at least
	three deletes of the same command are possible. [Bug 1220058]
	* generic/tclTrace.c (TraceCommandProc): Remove bogus error message
	creation when traces trigger in situations where the command has
	already been deleted.

2005-06-13  Vince Darley  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclFCmd.c: correct fix to file mkdir 2005-06-09, [Bug 1219176]

2005-06-12  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c: Factor out some common idioms into named
	forms for greater clarity.

2005-06-10  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* doc/chan.n: Fold in the descriptive parts of the documentation
	for all the commands that [chan] builds on top of.

2005-06-09  Vince Darley  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclFCmd.c: fix to race condition in file mkdir [Bug 1217375]
	* doc/glob.n: improve glob documentation [Bug 1190891]

2005-06-09  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* doc/expr.n, doc/mathfunc.n: Fix minor typos [Bug 1211078] and
	add mention of distinctly-relevant [namespace path] subcommand.

2005-06-07  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* generic/tclInt.h:		Reduced the Tcl_ObjTypes "index",
	* generic/tclIndexObj.c:	"ensembleCmd", "localVarName", and
	* generic/tclNamesp.c:		"levelReference" to file static scope.
	* generic/tclProc.c:
	* generic/tclVar.c:

	* generic/tclObj.c:	Restored registration of the "procbody"
	Tcl_ObjType, as required by the tclcompiler application.

	* generic/tclDecls.h:		make genstubs
	* generic/tclStubInit.c:

2005-06-07  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_ChannelTruncateProc): Stop proliferation of
	* generic/tcl.h:			     channel type versions
	* doc/CrtChannel.3:			     following advice from AKu

	Bump patchlevel to a4 to distinguish from a3 release.

	* generic/tclInt.h (INTERP_TRACE_IN_PROGRESS): Add flag so the error
	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_WrongNumArgs):    messages from ensembles
	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_ReadObjCmd):	       can be correct.

	TIP#208 IMPLEMENTATION

	* library/init.tcl: Create the chan ensemble.
	* tests/chan.test: Rudimentary test suite.
	* doc/chan.n: General documentation.

	TRUNCATION API (part of TIP#208)
	* generic/tcl.h, generic/tcl.decls: Declaration of the API.
	* doc/CrtChannel.3, doc/OpenFileChnl.3: Documentation of the API.
	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): Create the mapping into Tcl.
	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (TclChanTruncateObjCmd): Implementation of
	Tcl-level truncation API.
	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_TruncateChannel): Generic C-level
	truncation API implementation.
	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (FileTruncateProc): Basic implementation of
	truncating driver.

	* win/tclWinChan.c (FileTruncateProc): Added implementation of
	file truncation for Windows.
	* tests/chan.test (chan-15.2): Added real test of truncation.

2005-06-06  Kevin B. Kenny  <[email protected]>

	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: Corrected another buglet in the assembly code for
	stack probing on Win32/gcc. [Bug #1213678]
	* generic/tclObj,c: Added missing 'static' on definition of
	UpdateStringOfBignum, and removed a 'switch' on a 'long long' operand
	(which HP-UX native 'cc' seems unable to handle). [Bug #1215775]

2005-06-04  Jeff Hobbs	<[email protected]>

2005-06-02  Jeff Hobbs	<[email protected]>

	* 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.

2005-06-01  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* generic/tclBasic.c:	For compatibility with earlier Tcl releases,
	* generic/tclResult.c:	when a command procedure simply does a
	* generic/tclTest.c:	"return TCL_RETURN;" we must interpret that
	* tests/result.test:	the same as
	"return Tcl_SetReturnOptions(interp, Tcl_NewObj());"  [Bug 1209759].

2005-06-01  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSwitchCmd): Allow compilation
	of -nocase -glob [switch]es (only one we know how to compile).

	TIP#241 IMPLEMENTATION from Joe Mistachkin

	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsearchObjCmd, Tcl_LsortObjCmd):
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SwitchObjCmd): Implementation of -nocase
	option for [lsearch], [lsort] and [switch] commands.
	* win/tclWinPort.h: Win uses nonstandard function names...
	* tests/cmdIL.test, tests/lsearch.test, tests/switch.test: Tests
	* doc/lsearch.n, doc/lsort.n, doc/switch.n: Docs

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileLindexCmd): Compile the most
	common case of [lindex] more efficiently.

	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_FinalizeNotifier): Pass the correct
	number of arguments to Tcl_JoinThread.

2005-05-31  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* unix/configure.in, unix/tcl.m4: Standardize generation of help
	messages to always use AC_HELP_STRING and always (except for
	--with-tcl and --with-tk, where the default is complex) say what
	the default is.

2005-05-31  Zoran Vasiljevic <[email protected]>

	* 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 the Tcl Bug #1082283.

2005-05-30  Zoran Vasiljevic <[email protected]>

	* win/tclWinThrd.c: Fixed Tcl Bug #1204064.

2005-05-30  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	TIP #229 IMPLEMENTATION

	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_FindCommand, TclResetShadowedCmdRefs)

2005-05-26  Daniel Steffen  <[email protected]>

	* 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-2.59

2005-05-25  Jeff Hobbs	<[email protected]>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TimeObjCmd): add necessary cast

2005-05-25  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	TIP#182 IMPLEMENTATION	[Patch 1165062]

	* doc/mathfunc.n:	New built-in math function bool().
	* generic/tclBasic.c:
	* tests/expr.test:
	* tests/info.test:

2005-05-24  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* library/init.tcl:	Updated [unknown] to be sure the [return]
	* tests/init.test:	options from an auto-loaded command are
	seen correctly by the caller.

2005-05-24  Daniel Steffen  <[email protected]>

	* 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-2.59

	* 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-2.59
	* unix/tclConfig.h.in: autoheader-2.59

	* 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]

	* doc/expr.n:
	* doc/string.n: fixed roff syntax complaints from 'make html'.

2005-05-20  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* 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  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalObjvInternal): Rewrite for greater
	clarity; although 'goto' is Bad, the contortions you have to go
	through to avoid it can be worse...

2005-05-19  Daniel Steffen  <[email protected]>

	* 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.

2005-05-18  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_ExprBoolean):	Rewrite as wrapper around
	Tcl_ExprBooleanObj.

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c ([string is boolean/true/false]):	Rewrite
	dropping string-based Tcl_GetBoolean call, so that internal reps
	are kept for subsequent quick boolean operations.

	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Dropped most special handling of the
	"boolean" Tcl_ObjType, since that type should now be rarely
	encountered.

	* doc/BoolObj.3:	Rewrite of documentation dropping many details
	about the internals of Tcl_Objs.  Shorter documentation focuses on
	the function and use of the routines.

	* generic/tclInt.h:	Revision to the "boolean" Tcl_ObjType, so
	* generic/tclObj.c:	that only string values like "yes" and "false"
	* tests/obj.test:	are kept as the "boolean" Tcl_ObjType.	The
	string values "0" and "1" are kept as "int" Tcl_ObjType, which also
	produce quick calls to Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj().	 Since this internal
	change means a Tcl_ConvertToType to a "boolean" Tcl_ObjType might
	not produce a Tcl_Obj of type "boolean", the registration of the
	"boolean" type is also removed.
	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
	For callers of Tcl_GetObjType on the type name "boolean".

2005-05-17  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* generic/tclObj.c (TclInitObjSubsystem):	Removed the
	* tests/listObj.test:	registration of the Tcl_ObjType's "list",
	* tests/obj.test:	"procbody", "index", "ensembleCommand",
	"localVarName", and "levelReference".  The only reason to register
	a Tcl_ObjType is to have it returned by Tcl_GetObjType, and the
	only reason for that is to retrieve a (Tcl_ObjType *) to pass to
	Tcl_ConvertToType().  None of the types above can support a
	Tcl_ConvertToType() call; they panic.  Better not to offer something
	than to lead users into a panic.
	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
	For callers of Tcl_GetObjType on the type names listed above.

2005-05-15  Kevin Kenny	 <[email protected]>

	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: conditioned definition of
	EXCEPTION_REGISTRATION structures on HAVE_NO_SEH, to fix a bug in
	buildability on MSVC.

2005-05-14  Daniel Steffen  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclInt.decls:
	* generic/tclTest.c:
	* generic/tclUtil.c:
	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: fixed link error due to direct access by
	tclTest.c to the MODULE_SCOPE tclPlatform global: renamed existing
	TclWinGetPlatform() accessor to TclGetPlatform() and moved it to
	generic code so that it can be used by on all platforms where
	MODULE_SCOPE is enforced.

	* 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/Makefile: enable configure caching.

	* unix/configure.in: wrap tclConfig.h header in #ifndef _TCLCONFIG so
	that it can be included more than once without warnings from gcc4.0
	(as happens e.g. when including both tclInt.h and tclPort.h)

	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c:
	* unix/tclUnixChan.c:
	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c:
	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: fixed gcc 4.0 warnings.

	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
	* unix/tclConfig.h.in: autoheader-2.59

	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
	* generic/tclStubInit.c: make genstubs

2005-05-13  Kevin Kenny	 <[email protected]>

	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: Further rework of the SEH logic.  All
			     EXCEPTION_REGISTRATION records are now
			     in the activation record rather than pushed
			     on the stack.

2005-05-13  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Dropped the TCL_NO_MATH configuration.
	* generic/tclBinary.c:	It's believed this has not been working
	* generic/tclExecute.c: in a long time.	 Tcl needs math.h.
	* unix/Makefile.in:	[RFE 1200680].

2005-05-12  Kevin Kenny	 <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclStrToD.c (TclStrToD, RefineResult, ParseNaN):
	Changed the code to cast 'char' to UCHAR explicitly when
	using ctype macros, to silence complaints from the Solaris
	compiler.

2005-05-10  Jeff Hobbs	<[email protected]>

	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: add lint attr to enum to satisfy strictly
	compliant compilers that don't like trailing ,s.

	* tests/string.test: string-10.[21-30]
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): add extra checks to

2005-05-10  Kevin Kenny	 <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclBinary.c (FormatNumber): Fixed a bug where NaN's
	resulted in reads of uninitialized memory when using 'd',
	'q', or 'Q' format.
	* generic/tclStrToD.c (ParseNaN, TclFormatNaN): Added code to
	handle the peculiarities of HP's PA_RISC, which uses a different

	[kennykb-numerics-branch]
	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclpCheckStackSpace, TclWinCPUID):

		with -fomit-frame-pointers.

2005-05-08  Kevin B. Kenny  <[email protected]>

	[kennykb-numerics-branch]
	* generic/tclStrToD.c: Made code more portable by finding a
			       workaround for MSVC's 'volatile' issue that
			       does not require conditional compilation.
	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclWinCPUID): Removed structured event
					   handling from the GCC code
					   since (a) bad code is generated
					   by the instruction scheduling
					   with -O2, and (b) it's not
					   needed on any reasonably modern
					   CPU.

			       checked locking protocol. Cleaned up
			       an issue where MSVC ignored the 'volatile'
			       specifier, causing incorrect comparison
			       of an underflowed number against zero.

2005-05-06  Jeff Hobbs	<[email protected]>

	* generic/tclBinary.c (FormatNumber):
	Dredge the NaN out of the internal representation if
	Tcl_GetDoubleFromObj returns TCL_ERROR on a NaN.

	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetDoubleFromObj):
	Restored silent overflow/underflow behaviour that the merge
	of 2004-04-25 messed up.  Thanks to Don Porter for calling
	attention to this bug. Also removed an uninitialised memory
	reference in this function that valgrind caught. Also changed
	to return TCL_ERROR on a pure NaN.

	* generic/tclStrToD.c (RefineResult):
	Added a test for the initial approximation being HUGE_VAL;
	this test avoids EDOM being returned from ldexp on some platforms
	on input values exceeding the floating point range.

	* tests/expr.test (expr-29.*, expr-30.*):

	* 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).

	* win/tclWinNotify.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent):
	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): don't call ScaleTimeProc for
	zero wait times (as specified in TIP 233).

	* unix/Makefile.in: added @[email protected] to SRCS and split out NOTIFY_SRCS
	from UNIX_SRCS for parity with UNIX_OBJS & NOTIFY_OBJS.

	* 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, defined MODULE_SCOPE to __private_extern__.
	(SC_MISSING_POSIX_HEADERS): added caching of dirent.h check.

	The 2005-04-21 changes to Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj were done to bring
	it into agreement with its docs.  Further investigation reveals it
	was the docs that were incorrect.

	* doc/BoolObj.3:	Corrections to the documentation of
	Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj to bring it into agreement with what this
	public interface has always done, including noting the difference
	in function between Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj and Tcl_GetBoolean.

	* generic/tclGet.c:	Revised Tcl_GetBoolean to no longer be a
	wrapper around Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj (different function!).

	* generic/tclObj.c:	Removed TclGetTruthValueFromObj routine
	that was added yesterday.  Revisions so that only
	Tcl_GetBoolean-approved values get the "boolean" Tcl_ObjType.
	This retains the fix for [Bug 1187123].

	* generic/tclInt.h:	Revert most recent change.

	* doc/GetInt.3:	Convert argument "string" to "str" to agree with code.
	Also clarified a few details on int and double formats.
	* generic/tclGet.c:	Radical code simplification.  Converted
	Tcl_GetFoo() routines into wrappers around Tcl_GetFooFromObj().
	Reduces code duplication, and the resulting potential for inconsistency.

	* generic/tclObj.c:	Several changes:

	  - Re-ordered error detection code so all values with trailing
	    garbage receive a "not an integer" message instead of an
	    "integer too large" message.
	  - Removed inactive code meant to deal with strtoul* routines that
	    fail to parse leading signs.  All of them do, and if any are
	    detected that do not, the correct fix is replacement with
	    compat/strtoul*.c, not a lot of special care by the callers.
	  - Tcl_GetDoubleFromObj now avoids shimmering away a "wideInt" intrep.
	  - Fixed Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj to agree with its documentation and
	    with Tcl_GetBoolean, accepting only "0" and "1" and not other
	    numeric strings.  [Bug 1187123]
	  - Added new private routine TclGetTruthValueFromObj to perform
	    the more permissive conversion of numeric values to boolean
	    that is needed by the [expr] machinery.

	* generic/tclInt.h (TclGetTruthValueFromObj):	New routine.
	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Updated callers to call new routine.
	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Updated callers to call new routine.
	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:	Updated callers to call new routine.
	* generic/tclDictObj.c:	Updated callers to call new routine.
	* tests/obj.test:	Corrected bad tests that actually expected
	values like "47" and "0xac" to be accepted as booleans.

	* generic/tclLiteral.c:	Disabled the code that forces some literals
	into the "int" Tcl_ObjType during registration.	 We can re-enable it
	if this change causes trouble, but it seems more sensible to let
	Tcl's "on-demand" shimmering rule, and not try to pre-guess things.

2005-04-16  Zoran Vasiljevic <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: force clenaup of the interp result
	in TclLoadFile(). Some implementations of TclpFindSymbol()
	will seed the interp result with error message when unable
	to find the requested symbol (this is not considered to
	be an error).

	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 Tcl 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.

2005-04-13  David Gravereaux <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_SetChannelBufferSize): Lowest size limit
	* tests/io.test:	changed from ten bytes to one byte.  Need
	* tests/iogt.test:	for this change was proven by
	Ross Cartlidge <[email protected]> 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].

2005-04-13  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpGetEncodingNameFromEnvironment):  Reversed
	order of verifying candidate [encoding system] value, checking against
	a table in memory first before calling Tcl_GetEncoding and potentially
	scanning through the filesystem.  Also ordered the table so that a
	binary search could be used within it.	Improves startup time a bit
	more on some systems.

	on comp.lang.tcl that the current documentation was not clear.

	* generic/tclCompile.c:Commented out the functions
	TclPrintInstruction(), TclPrintObject() and TclPrintSource() when
	not debugging the compiler, as they are never called in that case.

2005-04-12  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* generic/tclInterp.c:	Corrected bad syntax of Tcl_Panic() call.

	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclGetProcessGlobalValue):	More robust handling
	of bad TclInitProcessGlobalValueProc behavior; an immediate panic
	rather than a mysterious crash later.

	* generic/tclEncoding.c:	Several changes to the way the
	encodingFileMap cache is maintained.  Previously, it was attempted
	to keep the file map filled and up to date with changes in the
	encoding search path.  This contributed to slow startup times since
	it required an expensive "glob" operation to fill the cache.  Now the
	validity of items in the cache are checked at the time they are
	used, so the cache is permitted to fall out of sync with the
	encoding search path.  Only [encoding names] and Tcl_GetEncodingNames()
	now pay the full expense.  [Bug 1177363]

2005-04-12  Kevin B. Kenny  <[email protected]>

	* compat/strstr.c: Added default definition of NULL to

	with simpler calls of Tcl_GetIntFromObj and Tcl_GetLongFromObj,
	now that those routines are better behaved wrt shimmering.

	to (a) reduce the malloc/free calls at list creation (from 2 to
	1), (b) reduce the cost of handling empty lists (we now never
	create a list internal rep for them), (c) allow refcounting of the
	list internal rep. The latter permits insuring that the pointers
	returned by Tcl_ListObjGetElements remain valid even if the object

	* generic/tclObj.c:
	* generic/tclStringObj.c:
	(1) defined new internal macros for creating and setting
	frequently used obj types (int,long, wideInt, double,
	string). Changed TEBC to use eg 'TclNewIntObj(objPtr, i)' to avoid
	the function call in 'objPtr = Tcl_NewIntObj(i)'
	(2) ExecEnv now stores two Tcl_Obj* pointing to the constants "0"
	and "1", for use by TEBC.

	* generic/tclThreadTest.c:	Stop providing the phony package
	"Thread 1.0" when the [::testthread] command is defined.  It's
	never used by anything, and conflicts with loading the real
	"Thread" package.

2005-03-18  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileIncrCmd):	Corrected checks

	* generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_PrintDouble):
		Changed the signature of TclDoubleDigits so that it

		returns the signum via that pointer.  Added very
		hacky code to handle IEEE signed zeroes in Tcl_DoubleDigits.
		(It can't be done other than as a hack until C9x;

		Added output conversion of tagged NaN values.

	    Added code to ensure that 'ldexp' is never called with
	    a value that will underflow.
	* tests/expr.test: Added tests for the smallest representible
	    value, and rounding between it and zero. (The tests reflect

	* libtommath/bn_mp_mul_d.c:
	* libtommath/bn_mp_read_radix.c:
	* libtommath/tommath.h: Applied suggested changes from Tom St
	Denis that correct an off-by-one error in single-digit
	multiplication (leading to a pointer smash if uncorrected) and
	change the string argument to 'mp_read_radix' from 'char*' to
	'const char*'.

	* libtommath/bn_mp_radix_size.c:
	Local patch to ensure that sufficient memory is requested
	even if the number has a single digit.

	* libtommath/bn_mp_read_radix.c:
	Local patch to return MP_VAL if the input string contains
	an invalid character.

	* generic/tclObj.c: Added accessor functions for bignums.
	* generic/tclTestObj.c: Added a 'testbignumobj' command to
	exercise the accessor functions for bignums.

	* win/Makefile.in: Added rules for making libtommath.

	TIP#235 IMPLEMENTATION

	* doc/Ensemble.3: Documentation for the new public API.
	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_CreateEnsemble,...): Rename of
	* generic/tcl.decls:		existing API into TIPped form.

2005-01-19  Mo DeJong  <[email protected]>

	* 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  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclFileName.c: fix for glob failure on Windows shares
	[Bug 1100542].

	* doc/pkgMkIndex.n: added documentation that 'pkg_mkIndex -lazy' is
	not a good idea. [Bug 1101678]

2005-01-14  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* tests/compile.test (compile-17.1): Document known issue with
	binding time of compiled command interpretations in [expr].

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclFSFileAttrIndex): New helper function so
	that we don't need to hard-code attribute indexes. [Bug 1100671]

2005-01-13  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* doc/string.n: Removed the term 'set' from the documentation of
	the [string trim] commands, as it caused confusion.

2005-01-12  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_PATH_{TCL,TK}CONFIG): Added code to detect the
	case when the --with-tcl/--with-tk arguments point to the config
	scripts themselves and not their directory. If this is the case,
	they now complain but keep working. [FRQ 951247]
	* unix/configure:	autoconf-2.57

	* unix/Makefile.in, unix/configure.in, unix/tcl.m4,
	* unix/tclConfig.sh.in, unix/dltest/Makefile.in:
	Remove ${DBGX}, ${TCL_DBGX} from Tcl build system [Patch 1081595].
	* unix/configure: regenerated

2005-01-10  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (TclUnixCopyFile): Convert u_int to unsigned
	to make clashes with types in standard C headers less of a
	problem. [Bug 1098829]

2005-01-09  Joe English	 <[email protected]>

	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c, unix/tclUnixPort.h: Remove readdir_r()
	and related #ifdeffery (see #1095909).
	* unix/tcl.m4, unix/tclConfig.h.in: Don't check for HAVE_READDIR_R.
	* unix/configure: Regenerated.

2005-01-06  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* library/http/http.tcl (http::mapReply): Significant performance
	enhancement by using [string map] instead of [regsub]/[subst], and
	update version requirement to Tcl8.4. [Bug 1020491]

2005-01-05  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* doc/lsearch.n, doc/re_syntax.n: Convert to other form of emacs
	mode control comment to prevent problems with old versions of
	man. [Bug 1085127]

2005-01-05  Pat Thoyts	<[email protected]>

	* tests/winDde.test: Fixed broken test result.

2005-01-05  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclInt.h, generic/tclPort.h: Move the #include of
	tclConfig.h *first* before any reference to tcl.h so that the
	build configuration is loaded before the first reference to any
	system headers. Issue reported by Art Haas on tcl-core.

2005-01-04  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* tests/fCmd.test (fCmd-18.10):	Added notNetworkFilesystem constraint.
	[Bug 456665]

2004-12-29  Jeff Hobbs	<[email protected]>

	* win/tcl.m4, win/configure: update MSVC CFLAGS_OPT to -O2, remove
	-Gs (included in -O2) and -GD (outdated).  Use "link -lib" instead
	of "lib" binary and remove -YX for MSVC7 portability.  Add
	-fomit-frame-pointer for gcc OPT compiles. [Bug 1092952, 1091967]
	Align LIBS_GUI with Tk head needs.

2004-12-29  Kevin B. Kenny  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclDate.c: Regen
	* generic/tclGetDate.y (TclDatelex):
		Fixed a problem where a four-digit group with >=2
		leading zeroes appeared to be a	two-digit group, leading to
		misinterpreting the time 0012 as 1200.	[Bug # 1090413]
	* library/clock.tcl: Added code to interpret correctly months
			     outside the range 01-12 as reduced modulo 12
			     with a corresponding adjustment to the year.
			     [Bug 1092789]
	* tests/clock.test: Added regression test cases for the above two
			    bugs.
	* unix/Makefile.in: Added --no-lines to the 'bison' command line
	* win/Makefile.in:  to help constrain the number of diffs in a cvs
			    checkin.

	* generic/tclLiteral.c:
	* generic/tclProc.c:
	Avoid sharing cmdName literals accross namespaces, and generalise
	usage of the TclRegisterNewLiteral macro [Patch 1090905]

2004-12-20  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclCompile.c: moved TclInitCompiledLocals to tclProc.c
	* generic/tclProc.c: new static InitCompiledLocals to allow for a
	single pass over the proc's arguments at proc load time (instead of
	two as previously). TclObjInterpProc() now allocates the
	compiledLocals on the tcl execution stack, using the new
	TclStackAlloc/Free functions.

2004-12-16  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_LimitSetTime, TimeLimitCallback):
	(TclLimitRemoveAllHandlers, TclInitLimitSupport): Set a timer
	event to trigger when the time limit runs out. All the time limit
	actually does is check to see if the time limit has been exceeded,
	but this is enough to fix [Bug 1085023].
	* generic/tclInt.h (struct Interp): Added a field to hold the token
	for the timer event handler associated with the current time limit.
	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_UpdateObjCmd, Tcl_VwaitObjCmd): Add
	error message when limit exceeded.
	* tests/interp.test (interp-34.[89]): Check that time limits
	handle the two cases reported in [Bug 1085023]

	* generic/tclTimer.c (TclCreateAbsoluteTimerHandler): New internal
	function that allows setting a timer handler that will be
	triggered at (or after) a specific time instead of at some number
	of milliseconds in the future. This is a candidate for future
	exposure via a TIP.

	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
	* generic/tclNamesp.c:
	* generic/tclProc.c:
	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
	* generic/tclTest.c: Added two new functions to allocate memory
	from the execution stack (TclStackAlloc, TclStackFree). Added
	functions TclPushStackFrame and TclPopStackFrame that do the work
	of Tcl_PushCallFrame and Tcl_PopCallFrame, but using frames
	allocated in the execution stack - i.e., heap instead of
	C-stack. The core uses these two new functions exclusively; the
	old ones remain for backwards compat, as at least two popular
	extensions (itcl, xotcl) are known to use them.

	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:
	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* generic/tclProc.c:
	* generic/tclVar.c: changing the isProcCallFrame field of the
	CallFrame struct from a 0/1 field to flags. Should be perfectly
	backwards compatible.

2004-12-14  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* unix/configure.in:	Added special processing to remove "$U"
	from libraries in the LIBOBJS value.  This is an auto-make-ism
	we need to avoid.  [Bug 1081541]

	* unix/configure:	autoconf-2.57

2004-12-13  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* generic/tcl.h:	Restored extern "C" guards so that C++ code
	sees function pointer typedef linkage consistent with earlier Tcl
	releases. [Bug 1082349].

	* generic/tclEncoding.c:	Plugged some memory leaks.  Thanks to
	* generic/tclUtil.c:	 Rolf Ade for reports and testing [Bug 1083082]

2004-12-13  Kevin B. Kenny  <[email protected]>

	* doc/clock.n: Clarify that the [clock scan] command does not
	accept the full range of ISO8601 point-in-time formats
	[Bug 1075433].

2004-12-12  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclVar.c (TclArrayObjCmd - ARRAY_NAMES): leaking an
	object [Bug 1084111] - thanks to Rolf Ade.

2004-12-12  Miguel Sofer <m[email protected]>

	* generic/tclObj.c (TclSetCmdNameObj): special handling for fully
	qualified command names (as in fix [Patch 456668]).

2004-12-11  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* generic/tclNamesp.c: converting the static function
	GetNamespaceFromObj() to MODULE_SCOPE TclGetNamespaceFromObj().

2004-12-10  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* tools/tcl.wse.in, unix/tcl.spec, win/README.binary, README:
	* win/configure.in, unix/configure.in, generic/tcl.h:
	Bumped version number to 8.5a3 to distinguish HEAD of CVS
	development from the recent 8.5a2 release.

2004-12-10  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclInitCompiledLocals):
	* generic/tclCompile.h:
	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* generic/tclProc.c (TclObjInterpProc, TclCreateProc): optimised
	loops that initialise a proc's arguments and compiled local
	variables, removing tests from inner loops.

2004-12-10  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclInt.h: Move ensemble API decls here from tclNamesp.c

2004-12-09  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclNamesp.c (TclMakeEnsembleCmd, TclSetEnsemble*)
	(TclSetEnsemble*, TclFindEnsemble): Build an internal API for
	creating and manipulating ensembles; they can be deleted using the
	normal command-deletion API.

	* doc/Async.3: Reword for better grammar, better nroff and get the
	flag name right. (Reported by David Welton.)

2004-12-07  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* tests/unixInit.test (2.1-4):	Added constraints so that when a
	value of TCL_LIBRARY is required for process initialization, we skip
	the tests that mess with that value.

2004-12-07  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	*** 8.5a2 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***

	* unix/Makefile.in: add library/{tzdata,msgs} to dist target (kbk)

	* doc/foreach.n: Adjust tabs to be friendlier to some HTML
	converters. [Bug 1078760]

2004-12-06  Jeff Hobbs	<[email protected]>

	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (NotifierThreadProc): init numFdBits
	[Bug 1079286]

	* doc/error.n, doc/SaveResult.3, doc/Thread.3: minor nroff typos

2004-12-06  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* tests/safe.test:	Trim auto_path to improve performance [1080039]

	* tests/msgcat.test:	makeFile/removeFile cleanup [1079117]

2004-12-04  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* generic/tclEncoding.c:	Different fix for [Bug 1077005].
	* generic/tclEvent.c:	Broke apart TclpSetInitialEncodings() on
	* generic/tclInt.h:	Windows into TclpSetInterfaces(), that is
	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:	fundamentally essential, and the initialization
	* win/tclWinInit.c:	of the system encoding, which is not.  Made
	the TclpSetInterfaces call part of TclInitSubsystems so it cannot be
	overlooked.

2004-12-03  Jeff Hobbs	<[email protected]>

	* changes: updated for 8.5a2 release

2004-12-02  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclSetProcessGlobalValue):	 Handle the case
	where a ProcessGlobalValue might be assigned to itself.

	* generic/tclEncoding.c (MakeFileMap):	Correct refcounting errors
	managing values returned by TclPathPart (with refCount of 1!) that
	led to a memory leak.  [Bug 1077474].

2004-12-02  Vince Darley  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclPathObj.c: fix and new tests for [Bug 1074671] to
	* tests/fileSystem.test:   ensure tilde paths are not returned
	specially by 'glob'.

2004-12-02  Kevin B. Kenny  <[email protected]>

	* win/Makefile.in: Added a 'sed' in the setting of ROOT_DIR_NATIVE
	to compensate for a bug in cygpath (at least version 1.36) that
	leaves a trailing backslash on the end of the converted path.

2004-12-02  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclInterp.c (Alias,Target,Master): Rewrote these so that
	the aliases that refer to an interpreter are stored in a list and
	not a hashtable (which was only ever a convenience, and forced the
	use of a global mutex to generate keys!) [FRQ 1077210]
	* generic/tclNamesp.c (numNsCreated): Moved into thread-local
	storage to remove a global mutex. [FRQ 1077210]

2004-12-01  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclGetProcessGlobalValue):	Narrowed the scope
	of mutex locks.

	* generic/tclUtil.c:		Updated Tcl_GetNameOfExecutable() to
	* generic/tclEncoding.c:	make use of a ProcessGlobalValue for
	* generic/tclEvent.c:		storing the executable name.

	* tests/winDde.test: Rewritten to use tcltest2 features more
	thoroughly (reducing the [catch] count!) and fix the problem with
	winDde-6.1 being out of synch with the implementation.

2004-11-30  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	* library/init.tcl ([unknown]):	Restored the save/restore of
	the variables ::errorCode and ::errorInfo.  This is needed when
	the [::bgerror] command is auto-loaded (as it is by Tk).

	Patch 976520 reworks several of the details involved with
	startup/initialization of the Tcl library, focused on the
	activities of Tcl_FindExecutable().

	* generic/tclIO.c:	Removed bogus claim in comment that
	encoding "iso8859-1" is "built-in" to Tcl.
	
	* generic/tclInt.h:	Created a new struct ProcessGlobalValue,
	* generic/tclUtil.c:	routines Tcl(Get|Set)ProcessGlobalValue,
	and function type TclInitProcessGlobalValueProc.  Together, these
	take care of the housekeeping for "values" (things that can be
	held in a Tcl_Obj) that are global across a whole process.  That is,
	they are shared among multiple threads, and epoch and mutex
	protection must govern the validity of cached copies maintained
	in each thread.

	* generic/tclNotify.c:	Modified TclInitNotifier() to tolerate
	being called multiple times in the same thread.

	* generic/tclEvent.c:	Dropped the unused argv0 argument to
	TclInitSubsystems().  Removed machinery to unsure only one
	TclInitNotifier() call per thread, now that that is safe.
	Converted Tcl(Get|Set)LibraryPath to use a ProcessGlobalValue,
	and moved them to tclEncoding.c.
	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Updated caller.

	* generic/tclInt.h:	TclpFindExecutable now returns void.
	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:	
	* win/tclWinFile.c:
	* win/tclWinPipe.c:

	* generic/tclEncoding.c: Built new encoding search initialization
	on a foundation of ProcessGlobalValues, exposing new routines
	Tcl(Get|Set)EncodingSearchPath.  A cache of a map from encoding name
	to directory pathname keeps track of where encodings are available
	for loading.  Tcl_FindExecutable greatly simplified into just
	three function calls.  The "library path" is now misnamed, as its
	only remaining purpose is as a foundation for the default encoding
	search path.

	* generic/tclInterp.c:	Inlined the initScript that is evaluated
	by Tcl_Init().  Added verification after initScript evaluation
	that Tcl can find its installed *.enc files, and that it has
	initialized [encoding system] in agreement with what the environment
	expects.  [tclInit] no longer driven by the value of $::tcl_libPath;
	it largely constructs its own search path now, rather than attempt
	to share one with the encoding system.

	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:	TclpSetInitialEncodings factored so that a new
	* win/tclWinInit.c:	routine TclpGetEncodingNameFromEnvironment
	can reveal that Tcl thinks the [encoding system] should be, even
	when an incomplete encoding search path, or a missing *.enc file
	won't allow that initialization to succeed.  TclpInitLibraryPath
	reworked as an initializer of a ProcessGlobalValue.

	* unix/tclUnixTest.c:	Update implementations of [testfindexecutable],
	[testgetdefenc], and [testsetdefenc].

	* tests/unixInit.test:	Corrected tests to operate properly even
	when a value of TCL_LIBRARY is required to find encodings.
	 
	* generic/tclInt.decls:	New internal stubs: TclGetEncodingSearchPath,
	TclSetEncodingSearchPath, TclpGetEncodingNameFromEnvironment.  These
	are candidates for public exposure by future TIPs.

	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:	make genstubs
	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
	
	* generic/tclTest.c:	Updated [testencoding] to use
	* tests/encoding.test:	Tcl(Get|Set)EncodingSearchPath.  Updated tests.

2004-11-30  Kevin B. Kenny  <[email protected]>

	* library/clock.tcl: Corrected the regular expressions that match
	a time zone to allow for time zones specified as +HH or -HH.
	* tests/clock.test: Added regression test case for the above issue.
	Thanks to Rolf Ade for reporting this issue
	[http://wiki.tcl.tk/13094]
	* win/tclWinDde.c (Tcl_DdeObjCmd): Corrected a typo that caused a
	compilation failure on VC++.
	
2004-11-29  Andreas Kupries <[email protected]>

	* win/Makefile.in (install-libraries): Brought entry '2004-10-26
	  Don Porter (Tcl Modules)' into the windows world, actually the
	  win/configure buildsystem. The other windows buildsystems (.vc,
	  .bc) still have to be updated as well.

2004-11-26  Andreas Kupries <[email protected]>

	* win/tclWinDde.c (ExecuteRemoteObject): Removed bogus semicolon
	  found at the end of the header for the function definition,
	  terminating it early and preventing a compile. This is likely a
	  fix for '2004-11-25 Donal'. I have to conclude that it is also
	  unknown if the other changes to this file actually pass the
	  testsuite. Running testsuite ... They don't. winDde-6.1
	  fails. This is only a message discrepance, i.e. not too
	  bad. Leaving resolution of that to Pat and Donal.

2004-11-26  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	* library/auto.tcl (tcl_findLibrary):   Made sure the uniquifying
	operations on the search path does not also normalize.  [Bug 1072136]

2004-11-26  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* unix/configure.in: Simplify the code to check for correctness of
	strstr, strtoul and strtod.
	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_TCL_CHECK_BROKEN_FUNC): Split a complex stanza
	out of configure.in into its own function. Also force it to do the

2004-12-01  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* tests/winDde.test: Rewritten to use tcltest2 features more
	thoroughly (reducing the [catch] count!) and fix the problem with
	winDde-6.1 being out of synch with the implementation.

2004-11-30  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* library/init.tcl ([unknown]):	Restored the save/restore of
	the variables ::errorCode and ::errorInfo.  This is needed when
	the [::bgerror] command is auto-loaded (as it is by Tk).

	Patch 976520 reworks several of the details involved with
	startup/initialization of the Tcl library, focused on the
	activities of Tcl_FindExecutable().

	* generic/tclIO.c:	Removed bogus claim in comment that
	encoding "iso8859-1" is "built-in" to Tcl.

	* generic/tclInt.h:	Created a new struct ProcessGlobalValue,
	* generic/tclUtil.c:	routines Tcl(Get|Set)ProcessGlobalValue,
	and function type TclInitProcessGlobalValueProc.  Together, these
	take care of the housekeeping for "values" (things that can be
	held in a Tcl_Obj) that are global across a whole process.  That is,
	they are shared among multiple threads, and epoch and mutex
	protection must govern the validity of cached copies maintained
	in each thread.

	* generic/tclNotify.c:	Modified TclInitNotifier() to tolerate
	being called multiple times in the same thread.

	* generic/tclEvent.c:	Dropped the unused argv0 argument to
	TclInitSubsystems().  Removed machinery to unsure only one
	TclInitNotifier() call per thread, now that that is safe.
	Converted Tcl(Get|Set)LibraryPath to use a ProcessGlobalValue,
	and moved them to tclEncoding.c.
	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Updated caller.

	* generic/tclInt.h:	TclpFindExecutable now returns void.
	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
	* win/tclWinFile.c:
	* win/tclWinPipe.c:

	* generic/tclEncoding.c: Built new encoding search initialization
	on a foundation of ProcessGlobalValues, exposing new routines
	Tcl(Get|Set)EncodingSearchPath.	 A cache of a map from encoding name
	to directory pathname keeps track of where encodings are available
	for loading.  Tcl_FindExecutable greatly simplified into just
	three function calls.  The "library path" is now misnamed, as its
	only remaining purpose is as a foundation for the default encoding
	search path.

	* generic/tclInterp.c:	Inlined the initScript that is evaluated
	by Tcl_Init().	Added verification after initScript evaluation
	that Tcl can find its installed *.enc files, and that it has
	initialized [encoding system] in agreement with what the environment
	expects.  [tclInit] no longer driven by the value of $::tcl_libPath;
	it largely constructs its own search path now, rather than attempt
	to share one with the encoding system.

	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:	TclpSetInitialEncodings factored so that a new
	* win/tclWinInit.c:	routine TclpGetEncodingNameFromEnvironment
	can reveal that Tcl thinks the [encoding system] should be, even
	when an incomplete encoding search path, or a missing *.enc file
	won't allow that initialization to succeed.  TclpInitLibraryPath
	reworked as an initializer of a ProcessGlobalValue.

	* unix/tclUnixTest.c:	Update implementations of [testfindexecutable],
	[testgetdefenc], and [testsetdefenc].

	* tests/unixInit.test:	Corrected tests to operate properly even
	when a value of TCL_LIBRARY is required to find encodings.

	* generic/tclInt.decls:	New internal stubs: TclGetEncodingSearchPath,
	TclSetEncodingSearchPath, TclpGetEncodingNameFromEnvironment.  These
	are candidates for public exposure by future TIPs.

	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:	make genstubs
	* generic/tclStubInit.c:

	* generic/tclTest.c:	Updated [testencoding] to use
	* tests/encoding.test:	Tcl(Get|Set)EncodingSearchPath.	 Updated tests.

2004-11-30  Kevin B. Kenny  <[email protected]>

	* library/clock.tcl: Corrected the regular expressions that match
	a time zone to allow for time zones specified as +HH or -HH.
	* tests/clock.test: Added regression test case for the above issue.
	Thanks to Rolf Ade for reporting this issue
	[http://wiki.tcl.tk/13094]
	* win/tclWinDde.c (Tcl_DdeObjCmd): Corrected a typo that caused a
	compilation failure on VC++.

2004-11-29  Andreas Kupries <[email protected]>

	* win/Makefile.in (install-libraries): Brought entry '2004-10-26
	  Don Porter (Tcl Modules)' into the windows world, actually the
	  win/configure buildsystem. The other windows buildsystems (.vc,
	  .bc) still have to be updated as well.

2004-11-26  Andreas Kupries <[email protected]>

	* win/tclWinDde.c (ExecuteRemoteObject): Removed bogus semicolon
	  found at the end of the header for the function definition,
	  terminating it early and preventing a compile. This is likely a
	  fix for '2004-11-25 Donal'. I have to conclude that it is also
	  unknown if the other changes to this file actually pass the
	  testsuite. Running testsuite ... They don't. winDde-6.1
	  fails. This is only a message discrepance, i.e. not too
	  bad. Leaving resolution of that to Pat and Donal.

2004-11-26  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* library/auto.tcl (tcl_findLibrary):	Made sure the uniquifying
	operations on the search path does not also normalize.	[Bug 1072136]

2004-11-26  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* unix/configure.in: Simplify the code to check for correctness of
	strstr, strtoul and strtod.
	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_TCL_CHECK_BROKEN_FUNC): Split a complex stanza
	out of configure.in into its own function. Also force it to do the

	is so ugly nobody should keep it around once Itcl's fixed.

2004-11-25  Reinhard Max  <[email protected]>

	* tests/tcltest.test: The order in which [glob] returns the file
	names is undefined, so tests should not depend on it.
	
2004-11-25  Zoran Vasiljevic <[email protected]>

	* doc/Thread.3:
	* doc/Notifier.3: Added changes from the core-8-4-branch

2004-11-19  Daniel Steffen  <[email protected]>

	* macosx/Makefile: 
	* unix/configure.in: 
	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (MacOSXGetLibraryPath): changed detection
	of tcl framework build when determining tclLibPath from overloaded
	TCL_LIBRARY to configuration define TCL_FRAMEWORK. [Bug 1068088]

	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.57
	* unix/tclConfig.h.in: autoheader-2.57

2004-11-18  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	* doc/SaveResult.3:	Documentation for Tcl_*InterpState (TIP 226).

	* generic/tclEvent.c (HandleBgErrors):	Simplified program flow.

	* tests/basic.test:	Updated functional (not testing) uses of
	* tests/io.test:	[bgerror] to make use of [interp bgerror].
	* tests/socket.test:
	* tests/timer.test:

	* tests/interp.test (interp-36.*):	[interp bgerror] tests.

	* generic/tclInterp.c:	Corrected [interp bgerror] error messages.

2004-11-18  Reinhard Max  <[email protected]>

	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_MANPAGES): Applied an improved version of
	* unix/configure.in:                patch #996085, that introduces
	* unix/Makefile.in:                 --enable-man-suffix.

	* unix/installManPage:              added
	* unix/mkLinks.tcl:                 removed
	* unix/mkLinks:                     removed
	* unix/configure:                   generated

	* unix/Makefile.in:                 Don't install tclConfig.h .

2004-11-17  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	* unix/configure.in:	The change below reveals that the public
	data type Tcl_StatBuf relies on config information.  For now,
	disabled the use of the tclConfig.h file until its full impact
	on Tcl's interface can be assessed.

	* unix/configure:	autoconf-2.57

	* generic/tcl.h:	Moved the #include "tclConfig.h" out of
	* generic/tclInt.h:	tcl.h.  The config settings are not part of
	* generic/tclPort.:	the public interface, and having it there
	breaks compiled against uninstalled Tcl and extensions using
	autoconf-2.5*.

2004-11-16  Jeff Hobbs  <[email protected]>

	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtySetOptionProc): fixed crash configuring
	-ttycontrol on a channel. [Bug 1067708]

2004-11-16  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclFSEpochOk):	There were two code paths
	via which the thread copy of filesystemEpoch could be synched with
	the master copy, but only one kept the filesystem list cache up
	to date.  Fix routes everything through  a single code path.
	[Bug 1035775].

2004-11-16  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Stop architecture flags to 'ld'
	from getting lost when [load] is disabled. [Bug 1016796]

2004-11-16  Daniel Steffen  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tcl.h:
	* unix/configure.in: changed HAVE_CONFIG_H to HAVE_TCL_CONFIG_H.

	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.57

2004-11-15  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclInt.h:	Added comment warning that the old
	ERR_IN_PROGRESS and ERROR_CODE_SET flag values should not be re-used
	for the sake of those extensions that have accessed them.

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TraceObjCmd): Fixed Bug 1065378 which failed
	* tests/trace.test (trace-33.1):        to permit a variable trace
	created with [trace variable] to be destroyed with [trace remove].
	Thanks to Keith Vetter for the report.

2004-11-15  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* doc/tclvars.n: Added section to documentation on global
	variables that are specific to tclsh and wish. [Patch 1065732]

2004-11-12  Jeff Hobbs  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclEncoding.c (TableFromUtfProc): correct crash
	condition when TCL_UTF_MAX == 6. [Bug 1004065]

2004-11-12  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* doc/interp.n: Basic documentation of the TIP#221 API.

2004-11-12  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	TIP #221 IMPLEMENTATION
	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Define [::tcl::Bgerror] in new interps.
	* generic/tclEvent.c:	Update Tcl_BackgroundError to make use
				of the registered [interp bgerror] command.
	* generic/tclInterp.c:	New [interp bgerror] subcommand.
	* tests/interp.test:	syntax tests updated.

	TIP #226 IMPLEMENTATION
	* generic/tcl.decls:	Stubs for Tcl_(Save|Restore|Discard)InterpState
	* generic/tcl.h:	New public opaque type, Tcl_InterpState.
	* generic/tclInt.h:	Drop old private declarations.  Add
				Tcl(Get|Set)BgErrorHandler
	* generic/tclResult.c:	Tcl_*InterpState implementations.
	* generic/tclDictObj.c:	Update callers.

	* doc/update.n:

	* tests/unixInit.test:	Removed "knownBug" constraints to prompt
	bug fixing before 8.5a2 release.

2004-11-19  Daniel Steffen  <[email protected]>

	* macosx/Makefile:
	* unix/configure.in:
	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (MacOSXGetLibraryPath): changed detection
	of tcl framework build when determining tclLibPath from overloaded
	TCL_LIBRARY to configuration define TCL_FRAMEWORK. [Bug 1068088]

	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.57
	* unix/tclConfig.h.in: autoheader-2.57

2004-11-18  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* doc/SaveResult.3:	Documentation for Tcl_*InterpState (TIP 226).

	* generic/tclEvent.c (HandleBgErrors):	Simplified program flow.

	* tests/basic.test:	Updated functional (not testing) uses of
	* tests/io.test:	[bgerror] to make use of [interp bgerror].
	* tests/socket.test:
	* tests/timer.test:

	* tests/interp.test (interp-36.*):	[interp bgerror] tests.

	* generic/tclInterp.c:	Corrected [interp bgerror] error messages.

2004-11-18  Reinhard Max  <[email protected]>

	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_MANPAGES): Applied an improved version of
	* unix/configure.in:		    patch #996085, that introduces
	* unix/Makefile.in:		    --enable-man-suffix.

	* unix/installManPage:		    added
	* unix/mkLinks.tcl:		    removed
	* unix/mkLinks:			    removed
	* unix/configure:		    generated

	* unix/Makefile.in:		    Don't install tclConfig.h .

2004-11-17  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* unix/configure.in:	The change below reveals that the public
	data type Tcl_StatBuf relies on config information.  For now,
	disabled the use of the tclConfig.h file until its full impact
	on Tcl's interface can be assessed.

	* unix/configure:	autoconf-2.57

	* generic/tcl.h:	Moved the #include "tclConfig.h" out of
	* generic/tclInt.h:	tcl.h.	The config settings are not part of
	* generic/tclPort.:	the public interface, and having it there
	breaks compiled against uninstalled Tcl and extensions using
	autoconf-2.5*.

2004-11-16  Jeff Hobbs	<[email protected]>

	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtySetOptionProc): fixed crash configuring
	-ttycontrol on a channel. [Bug 1067708]

2004-11-16  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclFSEpochOk):	There were two code paths
	via which the thread copy of filesystemEpoch could be synched with
	the master copy, but only one kept the filesystem list cache up
	to date.  Fix routes everything through	 a single code path.
	[Bug 1035775].

2004-11-16  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Stop architecture flags to 'ld'
	from getting lost when [load] is disabled. [Bug 1016796]

2004-11-16  Daniel Steffen  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tcl.h:
	* unix/configure.in: changed HAVE_CONFIG_H to HAVE_TCL_CONFIG_H.

	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.57

2004-11-15  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* generic/tclInt.h:	Added comment warning that the old
	ERR_IN_PROGRESS and ERROR_CODE_SET flag values should not be re-used
	for the sake of those extensions that have accessed them.

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TraceObjCmd): Fixed Bug 1065378 which failed
	* tests/trace.test (trace-33.1):	to permit a variable trace
	created with [trace variable] to be destroyed with [trace remove].
	Thanks to Keith Vetter for the report.

2004-11-15  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* doc/tclvars.n: Added section to documentation on global
	variables that are specific to tclsh and wish. [Patch 1065732]

2004-11-12  Jeff Hobbs	<[email protected]>

	* generic/tclEncoding.c (TableFromUtfProc): correct crash
	condition when TCL_UTF_MAX == 6. [Bug 1004065]

2004-11-12  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* doc/interp.n: Basic documentation of the TIP#221 API.

2004-11-12  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	TIP #221 IMPLEMENTATION
	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Define [::tcl::Bgerror] in new interps.
	* generic/tclEvent.c:	Update Tcl_BackgroundError to make use
				of the registered [interp bgerror] command.
	* generic/tclInterp.c:	New [interp bgerror] subcommand.
	* tests/interp.test:	syntax tests updated.

	TIP #226 IMPLEMENTATION
	* generic/tcl.decls:	Stubs for Tcl_(Save|Restore|Discard)InterpState
	* generic/tcl.h:	New public opaque type, Tcl_InterpState.

	* generic/tcl.h:
	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* unix/Makefile.in: include tclConfig.h from tcl.h and install it
	as a public header. Normalized compiler include path order to

	It didn't do what it was intended to do, and it implied the other
	correct constraint. [Bug 1053908]

	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoGlobalsCmd):
	* tests/info.test (info-8.4): Strip leading global-namespace
	specifiers from the pattern argument. [Bug 1057461]

2004-10-30  Kevin Kenny	 <[email protected]>

	* generic/clock.c: Replaced WIN32 macro with __WIN32__.
	[Bug 1054357].	Thanks to David Gravereaux for the patch.
	* win/tclWinFile.c: Removed a long-standing bug that causes
	incorrect conversion between file time and UTC time if
	the file time is recorded in a different Daylight Saving Time
	status than the current one. [Bug 926106]

2004-10-29  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Correct reaction to errors in the
	obsolete processCmdLineArgsHook.	[Bug 1055673]
	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl:	Bump to tcltest 2.2.7
	* unix/Makefile.in:

	their wrong-num-args message using Tcl_WrongNumArgs instead of
	something baked-at-home.
	* generic/tclNamesp.c (TclIsEnsemble, NsEnsembleImplementationCmd): 
	Added test of ensemble-hood (available to rest of core) and made

	advantage of.
	* generic/tclInt.h (Interp.ensembleRewrite): Extra fields.
	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_WrongNumArgs): Add knowledge of what

	generate the right error message itself.
	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp, TclEvalObjvInternal):
	Added code to initialize (as empty) the rewriting fields and reset
	them when we leak outside an ensemble implementation.

	* win/Makefile.in (install-msgs):   Fixed a problem with the
	* win/Makefile.in (install-tzdata): installation of timezone data
	  and message catalogs. They used the installed tcl library
	  directory, not the source library. Before it was installed.
	  Switched to source lib dir. Thanks to Kevin for the help in
	  figuring this out.

2004-10-20  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclThreadTest.c (ThreadEventProc):	Corrected subtle
	bug where the returned (char *) from Tcl_GetStringResult(interp)
	continued to be used without copying or refcounting, while
	activity on the interp continued.  That's not safe, and recent
	changes demonstrated the lack of safety with failing tests
	thread-4.3 and thread-4.5.

	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictWithCmd): Make sure all paths (that
	are not themselves error paths) do not lose the result code.

	* generic/tclInt.h (Tcl*InterpState):		New internal routines
	* generic/tclResult.c (Tcl*InterpState):	TclSaveInterpState,
	TclRestoreInterpState, and TclDiscardInterpState are superior
	replacements for Tcl_(Save|Restore|Discard)Result.  Intent is that
	these routines will be converted to public routines after TIP approval.
	Interfaces for these routines were shamelessly stolen from Itcl.

	* win/Makefile.in (install-msgs):   Fixed a problem with the
	* win/Makefile.in (install-tzdata): installation of timezone data
	  and message catalogs. They used the installed tcl library
	  directory, not the source library. Before it was installed.
	  Switched to source lib dir. Thanks to Kevin for the help in
	  figuring this out.

2004-10-20  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* generic/tclThreadTest.c (ThreadEventProc):	Corrected subtle
	bug where the returned (char *) from Tcl_GetStringResult(interp)
	continued to be used without copying or refcounting, while
	activity on the interp continued.  That's not safe, and recent
	changes demonstrated the lack of safety with failing tests
	thread-4.3 and thread-4.5.

2004-10-19  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictWithCmd): Make sure all paths (that
	are not themselves error paths) do not lose the result code.

2004-10-19  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* generic/tclInt.h (Tcl*InterpState):		New internal routines
	* generic/tclResult.c (Tcl*InterpState):	TclSaveInterpState,
	TclRestoreInterpState, and TclDiscardInterpState are superior
	replacements for Tcl_(Save|Restore|Discard)Result.  Intent is that
	these routines will be converted to public routines after TIP approval.
	Interfaces for these routines were shamelessly stolen from Itcl.

	(Tcl_DictObjNext): Make calling this after Tcl_DictObjDone non-fatal

	* generic/tcLTest.c (TestevalexObjCmd):	in the testing command
	* tests/parser.test (parse-9.2): [testevalex] and nothing in the
	test suite made use of the capability it enabled.

	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_AddObjErrorInfo): More re-organization
	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_ErrorObjCmd):     of the management of
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclProcessReturn):    the errorCode value.
	* tests/error.test (error-6.4-9):

	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-8.5,6):	the save/restore
	of ::errorInfo and ::errorCode during global namespace teardown.
	Revised the comment to clarify why this is done, and added tests

2004-10-04  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclParseExpr.c (GetLexeme): Ensure that the 'eq' and
	'ne' operators are followed by non-alphabetic characters so
	lexemes can't run together. [Bug 884830]

	* doc/DictObj.3, doc/dict.n: Clarified that a dictionary is not
	order-preserving. [Bug 1032243]	 Also added another example to
	show off more ways of using a dictionary and a few other
	formatting improvements.

2004-10-02  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclDictObj.c (TraceDictPath, Tcl_DictObjPutKeyList): Add
	support for automatic creation of dictionary paths since that is
	what everyone seems to actually expect of the API! [Bug 1037235]
	(Tcl_DictObjNext): Make calling this after Tcl_DictObjDone non-fatal
	as that simplifies a number of internal APIs. This doesn't break any
	existing working code as it is a case which previously caused a panic.

2004-10-02  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-8.7):	Another test for save/restore
	of ::errorInfo and ::errorCode during global namespace teardown.

2004-10-01  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclProc.c (TclObjGetFrame, Tcl_UplevelObjCmd):
	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_UpvarObjCmd): Cache stackframe level
	references in the level object for speed.

2004-09-30  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): Removed the flag bit value
	* generic/tclInt.h (Interp):	EXPR_INITIALIZED.  It was set during
	interp creation and never tested.  Whatever purpose it had is in
	the past.

	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalObjEx):	Removed the flag bit value
	* generic/tclInt.h (Interp):	USE_EVAL_DIRECT.  It was used only
	* generic/tcLTest.c (TestevalexObjCmd):	in the testing command
	* tests/parser.test (parse-9.2): [testevalex] and nothing in the
	test suite made use of the capability it enabled.

	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_AddObjErrorInfo): More re-organization
	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_ErrorObjCmd):	    of the management of
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclProcessReturn):    the errorCode value.
	* tests/error.test (error-6.4-9):

	* generic/tclNamespace.c (TclTeardownNamespace): Tcl_Obj-ified
	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-8.5,6):	the save/restore
	of ::errorInfo and ::errorCode during global namespace teardown.
	Revised the comment to clarify why this is done, and added tests

2004-09-27  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclObjInvoke): fix for bogus gcc warning
	about uninitialised variable.

2004-09-27  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Removed internal routines TclInvoke,
	* generic/tclInt.decls: TclGlobalInvoke, TclObjInvokeGlobal and
	* tests/basic.test:	the portion of TclObjInvoke that handles
	calls without TCL_INVOKE_HIDDEN enabled.  None of this code is
	called any longer within the core, and the superior public
	interface, Tcl_EvalObjv, is available for any external callers.

	on performace to do away with.	These changes also resolve
	an inconsistency in the ::errorInfo values produced by
	[namespace eval x error foo bar] and
	[namespace eval x {error foo bar}].

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclCompEvalObj):	Simplified
	the TclCompEvalObj routine.  Much housekeeping now reliably
	happens elsewhere.  [Patch 1031949]

2004-09-21  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* doc/interp.n: Tighten up wording on how [interp eval] and
	[interp invokehidden] operate w.r.t. stack frames. [Bug 926590]

2004-09-20  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* tests/error.test (error-6.2,3):	Added more tests to verify
	::errorCode setting by/after a [catch].

2004-09-19  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclCmdAH.c: removed outdated comment [Bug 1029518].

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c ([return]):
	* generic/tclProc.c (TclUpdateReturnInfo):

	flows through Tcl_SetObjErrorCode().  This greatly reduces the
	number of different places in the code that need to know details
	about an internal bitflag field of the Interp struct.  Also
	places errorCode setting in one place for easier future mods.

2004-09-17  Kevin B.Kenny  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclDate.c:    Revised tclGetDate.y to use bison instead
	* generic/tclGetDate.y: of yacc to build the parser, eliminating
	* generic/tclInt.h:     all the complicated hackery involving
	* unix/Makefile.in:     'sed' postprocessing.  Rebuilt the parser.

2004-09-14  Kevin B. Kenny  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclClock.c (ClockOldscanObjCmd): Silenced a compiler
	warning (long passed as a param where unsigend long was
	expected).  'Unsigned long' is wrong, but the fix is really
	to change the signature of TclGetDate to return a structure of
	its 'yy' variables and then do the remaining work inside
	clock.tcl. But, as I said on 2004-09-08, that's a job for
	another day.  [Bug 1027993]

	renaming of aliases [Bugs 707104 1026493]. Fix designed by dgp. 

2004-09-13  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclNamesp.c (NsEnsembleImplementationCmd): Add token
	field to internal rep of EnsembleCmdRep structure so that we can
	check it to see if the subcommand object is really being used with
	the same ensemble. [Bug 1026903]

	* generic/tcl.h: Micro formatting fixes.

	  wideseekProc. Thanks to David Graveraux <[email protected]>.

2004-09-11  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclNamespace.c (TclGetNamespaceForQualName):	Resolved
	longstanding inconsistency in the treatment of the TCL_NAMESPACE_ONLY
	flag revealed by testing the 2004-09-09 commits against Itcl.
	TCL_NAMESPACE_ONLY now acts as specified in the pre-function
	comment, forcing resolution in the passed in context namespace.
	It has been incorrectly forcing resolution in the interp's current
	namespace.

2004-09-10  Kevin Kenny  <[email protected]>

	* library/clock.tcl: Fixed a bug where %z always put a plus
	sign on the time zone in :localtime.
	* tests/clock.test: Added test case for the above bug.

2004-09-10  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_CONCAT1): added a peephole
	optimisation for concatting an empty string. This enables
	replacing the idiom 'K $x [set x {}]' by '$x[set x {}]' for
	fastest execution.

2004-09-09  David Gravereaux <[email protected]>

	* win/tclWinConsole.c: Calls to WriteFile and WriteConsoleA
	changed to WriteConsole for simplicity.

	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_ForgetImport):	Corrected faulty
	* tests/namespace.test:	logic that relied exclusively on string
	matching and failed in the presence of [rename]s.  [Bug 560297]
	Also corrected faulty prevention of [namespace import] cycles.
	[Bug 1017299]

2004-09-08  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp):	Removed obsolete
	field for storing the string-based command procedure of built-in
	commands.  We no longer have any string-based built-in commands!

	* unix/Makefile.in: added customization of default module path roots
	via TCL_MODULE_PATH makefile variable.
	* macosx/Makefile: add platform standard locations to default
	module path roots. [Patch 942881]

	* tests/env.test: macosx fixes.

2004-08-25  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	* tests/timer.test (timer-10.1):	Test for Bug 1016167.
	* generic/tclTimer.c:	Workaround for situation when a
	[namespace import] causes the objv[0] value to be something
	other than what Tcl_AfterObjCmd expects.  [Bug 1016167].

2004-08-25  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclNamesp.c (NsEnsembleImplementationCmd): Use the
	ensemble command token to get the name of the ensemble for passing
	to the -unknown handler instead of relying on objv[0], which may
	contain useless info in the presence of [namespace import].
	Problem found by Don Porter when investigating [Bug 1016167].

2004-08-24  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclProc.c:		The routine TclProcInterpProc was a
	* generic/tclTestProcBodyObj.c:	specific instance of the general
	service already provided by TclObjInvokeProc.  Removed
	TclProcInterpProc and TclGetInterpProc from the code...

	* generic/tclInt.decls	...and from the internal stubs table.
	* generic/tclIntDecls.h
	* generic/tclStubInit.c

2004-08-24  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* doc/string.n: Added clarifying note.

2004-08-23  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	* library/auto.tcl:	Updated [tcl_findLibrary] search path
	to include any [<pkg>::pkgconfig get scriptdir,runtime] directory,
	as well as the $::auto_path.  [RFE 695441]

2004-08-21  Kevin B. Kenny  <[email protected]>

	* tests/clock.test (clock-38.1): Changed TZ setting to specify
	CET in excruciating detail to deal with systems that lack the
	Posix defaults for DST changes (and to be formally correct with
	the change dates for CET).

2004-08-19  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclScan.c (Tcl_ScanObjCmd, ValidateFormat): Ensure that
	the %ld conversion works correctly on 64-bit platforms. [Bug 1011860]

2004-08-19  Kevin Kenny  <[email protected]>

	* library/clock.tcl (format): Changed default timezone format
	from alphabetic to numeric to produce scannable times in more
	locales.
	* tests/clock.test (clock-37.1): Removed now-unused 'needPST'
	constraint and the comments that refer to it.

	* doc/SetVar.3:

	* generic/tclVar.c (TclPtrSetVar):
	* tests/result.test (result-4.*, result-5.*): [Bug 1008314]
	detected and fixed by dgp.

2004-08-13  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:	Added checks to prevent [mclocale]
	* tests/msgcat.test:	from registering filesystem paths to possibly
	malicious code to be evaluated by a later [mcload].

2004-08-10  Zoran Vasiljevic <[email protected]>

	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpThreadCreate): changed handling of
	the returned thread ID since broken on 64-bit systems (Cray).
	Thanks to Rob Ratcliff for reporting the bug.

2004-08-03  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclNamesp.c (MakeCachedEnsembleCommand): Initialize the
	epoch field cached in the subcommand. [Bug 989298]
	(NsEnsembleImplementationCmd): Plug a leak (thanks to Miguel Sofer
	for spotting it with valgrind) and reduce the number of goto
	labels to make the code clearer.

2004-08-02  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	* library/package.tcl (pkg_mkIndex):	Updated [pkg_mkIndex] to
	make use of [glob -directory $dir -tails] and return options.

	TIP#207 IMPLEMENTATION

	* doc/interp.n:		Added support for a -namespace option to the
	* generic/tclBasic.c:	[interp invokehidden] command.  Also added an
	* generic/tclInt.h:	internal routine TclObjInvokeNamespace() and
	* generic/tclInterp.c:	corrected the flag names TCL_FIND_ONLY_NS and
	* generic/tclNamesp.c:	TCL_CREATE_NS_IF_UNKNOWN that are passed to the
	* generic/tclTrace.c:	internal routine TclGetNamespaceForQualName().
	* tests/interp.test:	[Patch 981841]

	* generic/tclLiteral.c (TclCleanupLiteralTable):	Corrected
	* tests/compile.test (compile-12.4):	flawed deletion of literal
	internal reps that could lead to accessing of freed memory.
	Thanks to Kevin Kenny for test case and fix [Bug 1001997].

2004-07-30  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	* tests/safe.test (safe-2.1):  Disabled senseless test.  [Bug 999612]

	* library/auto.tcl (auto_reset):  Removed "protected" list of commands 
	from [auto_reset].  All entries in the auto_index can be re-loaded.
	* library/package.tcl: Updated comment to reflect 2004-07-28 commit.

	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize):	Re-organized Tcl_Finalize
	so that Tcl_ExitProc's that call Tcl_Finalize recursively do not
	cause deadlock.  [Patch 999084 fixes Tk Bug 714956]

2004-07-30  Daniel Steffen  <[email protected]>

	* unix/configure:
	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Darwin: instead of setting PLAT_OBJS 
	to explict object files in tcl.m4, refer to MAC_OSX_OBJS makefile var.
	* unix/Makefile.in: added MAC_OSX_OBJS variable.

2004-07-29  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	* library/package.tcl:	[::pkg::create] is now an alias.  Test
	safe-2.1 will now fail until Bug 999612 is corrected.

2004-07-28  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	* library/package.tcl:		Moved private command
	* library/tclIndex:		[pkg_compareExtension] into ::tcl::Pkg.
	* tests/pkg_mkIndex.test:	Also moved implementation of
	[::pkg::create] to [::tcl::Pkg::Create].

2004-07-25  Pat Thoyts  <[email protected]>

	* tests/io.test: Make io-61.1 create file as binary to pass on Win32

2004-07-23  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclVar.c: simplify tclLocalVarNameType, removing the
	reference to the corresponding proc. The reference is now seen as
	unnecessary, and it may cause leaking circular references under
	some circumstances (see for example [Bug 994838]).

2004-07-22  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	* tests/eofchar.data (removed): Test io-61.1 now generates its own
	* tests/io.test:        file of test data as needed.

2004-07-20  Jeff Hobbs  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclEvent.c:       Correct threaded obj allocator to
	* generic/tclInt.h:         fully cleanup on exit and allow for
	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: reinitialization. [Bug #736426]
	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:       (mistachkin, kenny)
	* win/tclWinThrd.c:

2004-07-21  Kevin Kenny  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclBasic.c (DeleteInterpProc):
	* generic/tclLiteral.c (TclCleanupLiteralTable):
	* generic/tclInt.h: added a TclCleanupLiteralTable function,
	called from DeleteInterpProc, that frees internal representations
	of shared literals early when an interpreter is being deleted.
	This change corrects a number of memory mismanagement issues in
	the cases where the internal representation of one literal
	contains a reference to another, and avoids conditions such as
	resolved variable names referring to procedure and namespace
	contexts that no longer exist.  [Bug 994838]

2004-07-20  Daniel Steffen  <[email protected]>

	* unix/Makefile.in:
	* win/Makefile.in: added 'install-private-headers' makefile target
	to allow optionally installing private tcl headers. [FR 922727]

	* macosx/Makefile: use new 'install-private-headers' target
	to install private headers into framework. [FR 922727]

	* unix/tclUnixFile.c (NativeMatchType): added support for
	readonly matching of user immutable files (where available).

	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c: dynamically acquire address for
	CFBundleOpenBundleResourceMap symbol, since it is only present in
	full CoreFoundation on Mac OS X and not in CFLite on pure Darwin.

2004-07-19  Zoran Vasiljevic <[email protected]>

	* win/tclwinThrd.c: redefined MASTER_LOCK to call 
	TclpMasterLock. Fixes Bug #987967

2004-07-17  Vince Darley  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to rare 'cd' infinite loop in
	normalization with vfs [Bug 991420].
	* tests/fileSystem.test: added test for above bug.

	* doc/FileSystem.3: clarified documentation of posix error
	codes in 'remove directory' FS proc - 'EEXIST' is used to
	signify a non-empty directory error (bug reported against
	tclvfs).

2004-07-16  Jeff Hobbs  <[email protected]>

	* unix/Makefile.in, unix/tcl.m4:     move (C|LD)FLAGS after their
	* unix/configure.in, unix/configure: _DEFAULT to allow for env
	setting to override m4 switches.  Move SC_MISSING_POSIX_HEADERS up
	and consolidate calls to limit redundancy in configure.
	(CFLAGS_WARNING): Remove -Wconversion
	(SC_ENABLE_THREADS): Set m4 to force threaded build when built

	from [auto_reset].  All entries in the auto_index can be re-loaded.
	* library/package.tcl: Updated comment to reflect 2004-07-28 commit.

	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize):	Re-organized Tcl_Finalize
	so that Tcl_ExitProc's that call Tcl_Finalize recursively do not
	cause deadlock.	 [Patch 999084 fixes Tk Bug 714956]

2004-07-30  Daniel Steffen  <[email protected]>

	* unix/configure:
	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Darwin: instead of setting PLAT_OBJS
	to explict object files in tcl.m4, refer to MAC_OSX_OBJS makefile var.
	* unix/Makefile.in: added MAC_OSX_OBJS variable.

2004-07-29  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* library/package.tcl:	[::pkg::create] is now an alias.  Test
	safe-2.1 will now fail until Bug 999612 is corrected.

2004-07-28  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* library/package.tcl:		Moved private command
	* library/tclIndex:		[pkg_compareExtension] into ::tcl::Pkg.
	* tests/pkg_mkIndex.test:	Also moved implementation of
	[::pkg::create] to [::tcl::Pkg::Create].

2004-07-25  Pat Thoyts	<[email protected]>

	* tests/io.test: Make io-61.1 create file as binary to pass on Win32

2004-07-23  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclVar.c: simplify tclLocalVarNameType, removing the
	reference to the corresponding proc. The reference is now seen as
	unnecessary, and it may cause leaking circular references under
	some circumstances (see for example [Bug 994838]).

2004-07-22  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* tests/eofchar.data (removed): Test io-61.1 now generates its own
	* tests/io.test:	file of test data as needed.

2004-07-20  Jeff Hobbs	<[email protected]>

	* generic/tclEvent.c:	    Correct threaded obj allocator to
	* generic/tclInt.h:	    fully cleanup on exit and allow for
	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: reinitialization. [Bug #736426]
	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:	    (mistachkin, kenny)
	* win/tclWinThrd.c:

2004-07-21  Kevin Kenny	 <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclBasic.c (DeleteInterpProc):
	* generic/tclLiteral.c (TclCleanupLiteralTable):
	* generic/tclInt.h: added a TclCleanupLiteralTable function,
	called from DeleteInterpProc, that frees internal representations
	of shared literals early when an interpreter is being deleted.
	This change corrects a number of memory mismanagement issues in
	the cases where the internal representation of one literal
	contains a reference to another, and avoids conditions such as
	resolved variable names referring to procedure and namespace
	contexts that no longer exist.	[Bug 994838]

2004-07-20  Daniel Steffen  <[email protected]>

	* unix/Makefile.in:
	* win/Makefile.in: added 'install-private-headers' makefile target
	to allow optionally installing private tcl headers. [FR 922727]

	* macosx/Makefile: use new 'install-private-headers' target
	to install private headers into framework. [FR 922727]

	* unix/tclUnixFile.c (NativeMatchType): added support for
	readonly matching of user immutable files (where available).

	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c: dynamically acquire address for
	CFBundleOpenBundleResourceMap symbol, since it is only present in
	full CoreFoundation on Mac OS X and not in CFLite on pure Darwin.

2004-07-19  Zoran Vasiljevic <[email protected]>

	* win/tclwinThrd.c: redefined MASTER_LOCK to call
	TclpMasterLock. Fixes Bug #987967

2004-07-17  Vince Darley  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to rare 'cd' infinite loop in
	normalization with vfs [Bug 991420].
	* tests/fileSystem.test: added test for above bug.

	* doc/FileSystem.3: clarified documentation of posix error
	codes in 'remove directory' FS proc - 'EEXIST' is used to
	signify a non-empty directory error (bug reported against
	tclvfs).

2004-07-16  Jeff Hobbs	<[email protected]>

	* unix/Makefile.in, unix/tcl.m4:     move (C|LD)FLAGS after their
	* unix/configure.in, unix/configure: _DEFAULT to allow for env
	setting to override m4 switches.  Move SC_MISSING_POSIX_HEADERS up
	and consolidate calls to limit redundancy in configure.
	(CFLAGS_WARNING): Remove -Wconversion
	(SC_ENABLE_THREADS): Set m4 to force threaded build when built

	  mutexes. They were not destroyed properly upon finalization.

2004-07-15  Andreas Kupries  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclIO.h (CHANNEL_INCLOSE):       New flag. Set in
	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_UnregisterChannel): 'Tcl_Close' while the
	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Close):             close callbacks are
	  run. Checked in 'Tcl_Close' and 'Tcl_Unregister' to prevent
	  recursive call of 'close' in the close-callbacks. This is a
	  possible error made by implementors of virtual filesystems based
	  on 'tclvfs', thinking that they have to close the channel in the
	  close handler for the filesystem.

	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): stuffed memory leak
	incurred by re-initializing of TSD slots after the last call to
	TclFinalizeThreadData (done from within Tcl_FinalizeThread()).
	We basically just repeat the TclFinalizeThreadData() once more 
	before tearing down TSD keys in TclFinalizeSynchronization().  
	There should be more elaborate mechanism in place for handling
	such issues, based on thread cleanup handlers registered on the
	OS level. Such change requires much more work and would also
	require TIP because some visible parts of Tcl API would have to
	be modified. In the meantime, this will do.

	* generic/tclNotify.c (TclFinalizeNotifier): Added conditional
	notifier finalization based on the fact that an TclInitNotifier
	has been called for the current thread. This fixes the Tcl
	Bug #770053 again. Hopefully this time w/o unwanted side-effects.

2004-07-15  Kevin Kenny  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclLiteral.c (TclReleaseLiteral): Removed unused
	variable 'codePtr' to silence a message from VC++.

2004-07-15  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): 
	* generic/tclLiteral.c (TclReleaseLiteral): fix for [Bug 467523],
	which resurfaced with the latest changes. The previous strategy
	was to have special code in TclReleaseLiteral to handle the
	self-references generated by empty scripts. The new approach
	avoids the self-reference altogether, by having empty scripts
	return an unshared literal.

	delete value object when removing the hash entry. [Bug 989093 in part]

2004-07-11  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC): fixed leak of expandNestList objs 
	when there is an error while an expansion is in progress (code
	added at checkForCatch).

2004-07-11  Vince Darley  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to 'cd' bug when vfs is active
	[Bug 986944 in tclvfs project] - this bug recently introduced
	by some threading fixes.  Need to work out how to add
	tests for this.

2004-07-10  Kevin Kenny  <[email protected]>

	* tests/clock.test (clock-2.11): Changed the test so that
	it isn't an infinite loop when run under valgrind on a slow
	virtual machine.  Thanks to Miguel Sofer for the bug report.
	Also put in code to restore env(LC_TIME) after tests complete,
	silencing a warning from 'make TESTFLAGS="-debug 1" test'.

2004-07-08  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]t>

	* generic/tclBasic.c (DeleteInterpProc): reverted the modification
	of 3 days ago, as the leak of [Bug 983660] is now handled by the
	change in TclCleanupByteCode.
	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCleanupByteCode): let each bytecode
	remove its references to literals at interp deletion, without
	updating the dying literal table.
	* generic/tclLiteral.c (TclDeleteLiteralTable): with the above
	change to TclCleanupByteCode, this function now removes a single
	reference to the literal object and cleans up its own structures.

2004-07-08  Kevin Kenny  <[email protected]>

	* win/tclWinInit.c (AppendEnvironment): Silenced a compilation
	warning about a type mismatch.

2004-07-07  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): fix for [Bug 458361]. 
	Single-word scripts are compiled with an unshared cmdName to avoid
	shimmering between bytecode and cmdName reps.

2004-07-07  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclMergeReturnOptions):  Simplified logic and
	removed potential memory leak.  [Bug 986257].

2004-07-07  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* tools/man2help2.tcl (setTabs, IPmacro): Added support for the
	more advanced *roff macros used in Tk's doc/bind.n

	* generic/tclObj.c (TclInitObjSubsystem): Declare all current
	object types.

2004-07-06  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	* tests/cmdMZ.test (cmdMZ-return-2.17):  Added a test that a word
	containing backslash-quoted value is treated correctly.

	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclWordKnownAtCompileTime):  [Bug 986196]
	Corrected flaw above and the flaw that caused TCL_TOKEN_SIMPLE_WORDs
	to have their original word value copied ( "{a b}" ) rather than the
	actual value ( "a b" ).  Thanks to Kevin Kenny for report and tests.

2004-07-06  Kevin B. Kenny  <[email protected]>

	* tests/cmdMZ.test (cmdMZ-return-2.15,cmdMZ-return-2.16):
	Added a test that a return code containing spaces is correctly
	returned.

2004-07-06  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* tools/man2html2.tcl (IPmacro, setTabs): Added support for the
	more advanced *roff macros used in Tk's doc/bind.n

2004-07-05  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclBasic.c (DeleteInterpProc): fix for [Bug 983660],
	found by pspjuth. Tear down the global namespace before freeing
	the interp handle, to allow the bytecodes to free their non-shared
	literals. 
	* generic/tclLiteral.c (TclReleaseLiteral): moved special code for
	self-ref so that it is also used for non-shared literals. Possible
	bug found by inspection.

2004-07-03  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (ExprRoundFunc):
	* tests/expr-old.test (39.1): added support for wide integers to
	round(); [Bug 908375], reported by Hemang Lavana. 

2004-07-03  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclCompile.h:
	* generic/tclInt.decls:
	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
	* generic/tclStubInit.c: Moved declaration of TclCompEvalObj()
	from tclCompile.h to the internal stubs table, for compiler
	experimentation. 

2004-07-02  Jeff Hobbs  <[email protected]>

	* generic/regcomp.c (stid): correct minor pointer size error

	* generic/tclPipe.c (TclCreatePipeline): applied TIP #202 patch
	* doc/exec.n, tests/exec.test:           that adds 2>@1 as a
	special case redirection of stderr to the result output.

2004-07-02  Kevin B. Kenny  <[email protected]>

	* tests/io.test: Changed several tests to run the event
	loop rather than just calling [update] periodically, avoiding
	intermittent failures (usually in io-29.32) that stemmed from 
	unreaped processes on Windows.
	* tests/winPipe.test (winpipe-1.11): Fixed a bug that caused
	test to fail if the path name of the working directory contained
	whitespace [Bug 678430]

2004-07-01  Vince Darley  <[email protected]>

	* tests/fileSystem.test: Added test for [Bug 970529]

2004-07-01  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* win/README.binary, win/README: Updated references to Tcl and Tk
	8.4 to point to 8.5 instead.  Thanks to Theo Verelst for spotting
	this.
	* generic/tcl.h: Added note to help prevent those changes from
	getting missed in the future.

	* doc/Namespace.3, doc/load.n, doc/Limit.3: Typo fixes and remove
	duplicate documentation. [Bug 983146]

2004-06-30  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	* tests/fileSystem.test: Minor correction to new fileSystem-9.X
	tests so that they clean up temporary directories correctly.

2004-06-30  Vince Darley  <[email protected]>

	* doc/filename.n: clarified behaviour concerning trailing
	slashes in filenames [Bug 971976]

	* win/tclWinFile.c:
	* tests/fileSystem.test: fix and tests for [Bug 979879]

2004-06-30  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	TIP#188 IMPLEMENTATION

	* doc/string.n, tests/string.test:	 Add 'wideinteger' to things
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): that can be tested for with
	the [string is] subcommand. [Patch 940915, by Kevin Kenny]

2004-06-29  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	* win/tclWinInit.c:	Corrected reference counting flaw in
	recent changes.  Thanks to Pat Thoyts. [Bug 981893].

2004-06-29  Vince Darley  <[email protected]>

	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: fix to compilation with VC++ 5.2

2004-06-29  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* library/safe.tcl: Make sure that the temporary variable is
	local to the namespace and not inadvertently global. [Bug 981733]

2004-06-24  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* tests/unixNotfy.test: Modified constraints so that testing with
	a threaded tclsh (not tcltest) will not hang.

2004-06-23  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclThreadStorage.c:	Corrected type casting errors that led
	to calculation of a negative index value, thus accesses outside the
	threadStorageCache array, thus memory corruption.  Crash observed on
	Mac OS X platform.

	* generic/tclNamesp.c (BuildEnsembleConfig): Don't forget to clean
	out references when deleting the hash table.
	* generic/tclDictObj.c (Tcl_DictObjRemoveKeyList): Oops, forgot to
	delete value object when removing the hash entry. [Bug 989093 in part]

2004-07-11  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC): fixed leak of expandNestList objs
	when there is an error while an expansion is in progress (code
	added at checkForCatch).

2004-07-11  Vince Darley  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to 'cd' bug when vfs is active
	[Bug 986944 in tclvfs project] - this bug recently introduced
	by some threading fixes.  Need to work out how to add
	tests for this.

2004-07-10  Kevin Kenny	 <[email protected]>

	* tests/clock.test (clock-2.11): Changed the test so that
	it isn't an infinite loop when run under valgrind on a slow
	virtual machine.  Thanks to Miguel Sofer for the bug report.
	Also put in code to restore env(LC_TIME) after tests complete,
	silencing a warning from 'make TESTFLAGS="-debug 1" test'.

2004-07-08  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclBasic.c (DeleteInterpProc): reverted the modification
	of 3 days ago, as the leak of [Bug 983660] is now handled by the
	change in TclCleanupByteCode.
	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCleanupByteCode): let each bytecode
	remove its references to literals at interp deletion, without
	updating the dying literal table.
	* generic/tclLiteral.c (TclDeleteLiteralTable): with the above
	change to TclCleanupByteCode, this function now removes a single
	reference to the literal object and cleans up its own structures.

2004-07-08  Kevin Kenny	 <[email protected]>

	* win/tclWinInit.c (AppendEnvironment): Silenced a compilation
	warning about a type mismatch.

2004-07-07  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): fix for [Bug 458361].
	Single-word scripts are compiled with an unshared cmdName to avoid
	shimmering between bytecode and cmdName reps.

2004-07-07  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclMergeReturnOptions):  Simplified logic and
	removed potential memory leak.	[Bug 986257].

2004-07-07  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* tools/man2help2.tcl (setTabs, IPmacro): Added support for the
	more advanced *roff macros used in Tk's doc/bind.n

	* generic/tclObj.c (TclInitObjSubsystem): Declare all current
	object types.

2004-07-06  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* tests/cmdMZ.test (cmdMZ-return-2.17):	 Added a test that a word
	containing backslash-quoted value is treated correctly.

	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclWordKnownAtCompileTime):  [Bug 986196]
	Corrected flaw above and the flaw that caused TCL_TOKEN_SIMPLE_WORDs
	to have their original word value copied ( "{a b}" ) rather than the
	actual value ( "a b" ).	 Thanks to Kevin Kenny for report and tests.

2004-07-06  Kevin B. Kenny  <[email protected]>

	* tests/cmdMZ.test (cmdMZ-return-2.15,cmdMZ-return-2.16):
	Added a test that a return code containing spaces is correctly
	returned.

2004-07-06  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* tools/man2html2.tcl (IPmacro, setTabs): Added support for the
	more advanced *roff macros used in Tk's doc/bind.n

2004-07-05  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclBasic.c (DeleteInterpProc): fix for [Bug 983660],
	found by pspjuth. Tear down the global namespace before freeing
	the interp handle, to allow the bytecodes to free their non-shared
	literals.
	* generic/tclLiteral.c (TclReleaseLiteral): moved special code for
	self-ref so that it is also used for non-shared literals. Possible
	bug found by inspection.

2004-07-03  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]et>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (ExprRoundFunc):
	* tests/expr-old.test (39.1): added support for wide integers to
	round(); [Bug 908375], reported by Hemang Lavana.

2004-07-03  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclCompile.h:
	* generic/tclInt.decls:
	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
	* generic/tclStubInit.c: Moved declaration of TclCompEvalObj()
	from tclCompile.h to the internal stubs table, for compiler
	experimentation.

2004-07-02  Jeff Hobbs	<[email protected]>

	* generic/regcomp.c (stid): correct minor pointer size error

	* generic/tclPipe.c (TclCreatePipeline): applied TIP #202 patch
	* doc/exec.n, tests/exec.test:		 that adds 2>@1 as a
	special case redirection of stderr to the result output.

2004-07-02  Kevin B. Kenny  <[email protected]>

	* tests/io.test: Changed several tests to run the event
	loop rather than just calling [update] periodically, avoiding
	intermittent failures (usually in io-29.32) that stemmed from
	unreaped processes on Windows.
	* tests/winPipe.test (winpipe-1.11): Fixed a bug that caused
	test to fail if the path name of the working directory contained
	whitespace [Bug 678430]

2004-07-01  Vince Darley  <[email protected]>

	* tests/fileSystem.test: Added test for [Bug 970529]

2004-07-01  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* win/README.binary, win/README: Updated references to Tcl and Tk
	8.4 to point to 8.5 instead.  Thanks to Theo Verelst for spotting
	this.
	* generic/tcl.h: Added note to help prevent those changes from
	getting missed in the future.

	* doc/Namespace.3, doc/load.n, doc/Limit.3: Typo fixes and remove
	duplicate documentation. [Bug 983146]

2004-06-30  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* tests/fileSystem.test: Minor correction to new fileSystem-9.X
	tests so that they clean up temporary directories correctly.

2004-06-30  Vince Darley  <[email protected]>

	* doc/filename.n: clarified behaviour concerning trailing
	slashes in filenames [Bug 971976]

	* win/tclWinFile.c:
	* tests/fileSystem.test: fix and tests for [Bug 979879]

2004-06-30  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	TIP#188 IMPLEMENTATION

	* doc/string.n, tests/string.test:	 Add 'wideinteger' to things
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): that can be tested for with
	the [string is] subcommand. [Patch 940915, by Kevin Kenny]

2004-06-29  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* win/tclWinInit.c:	Corrected reference counting flaw in
	recent changes.	 Thanks to Pat Thoyts. [Bug 981893].

2004-06-29  Vince Darley  <[email protected]>

	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: fix to compilation with VC++ 5.2

2004-06-29  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* library/safe.tcl: Make sure that the temporary variable is
	local to the namespace and not inadvertently global. [Bug 981733]

2004-06-24  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* tests/unixNotfy.test: Modified constraints so that testing with
	a threaded tclsh (not tcltest) will not hang.

2004-06-23  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* generic/tclThreadStorage.c:	Corrected type casting errors that led
	to calculation of a negative index value, thus accesses outside the
	threadStorageCache array, thus memory corruption.  Crash observed on
	Mac OS X platform.

	* win/configure.in:

	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): Moved call to
	TclInitEmbeddedConfigurationInformation() earlier in
	Tcl_CreateInterp() so that other parts of interp creation
	and initialization may access and use the config values.

2004-06-11  Kevin Kenny  <[email protected]>

	* win/tclAppInit.c: Restored the 'setargv' procedure when
	compiling with mingw.  Apparently, the command line parsing in
	mingw doesn't work as well as that in vc++, and the result was
	(1) that winPipe-8.19 failed, and (2) that 'make test' would
	work at all only with TESTFLAGS='-singleproc 1'. [Bug 967195]

2004-06-10  Zoran Vasiljevic <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: removed forceful setting of the
	  private cached current working directory rep from 
	  within the Tcl_FSChdir(). We delegate this task to
	  the Tcl_FSGetCwd() which does this task anyway.
	  The relevant code is still present but disabled 
	  temporarily until the change proves correct. The Tcl
	  test suite passes all test with the given change so
	  I suppose it is good enough.

2004-06-10  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):	Disabled addition of
	* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):	relative-to-executable
	directories to the library search path.  A first step in reform of
	Tcl's startup process.

	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
	Attempts to directly run ./tclsh or ./tcltest out of a build
	directory will either fail, or will make use of an installed
	script library in preference to the one in the source tree.
	Use `make shell` or `make runtest` instead.

	* tests/unixInit.test:  Modified tests to suit above changes.

	* generic/tclPathObj.c:	Corrected [file tail] results when operating
	on a path produced by TclNewFSPathObj(). [Bug 970529]

2004-06-09  Zoran Vasiljevic <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: partially corrected [Bug 932314].
	  Also, corrected return values of Tcl_FSChdir() to 
	  reflect those of the underlying platform-specific call.
	  Originally, return codes were mixed with those of Tcl.

2004-06-08  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclCompile.c: 
	* generic/tclExecute.c: handle warning [Bug 969066]

2004-06-08  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclHash.c (RebuildTable): Move declaration of variable
	so it is only declared when it is used. [Bug 969068]

	in tcltest.test.  Bumped to tcltest 2.2.6.  [Bugs 960560, 960926]

2004-05-25  Jeff Hobbs  <[email protected]>

	* doc/http.n (http::config): add -urlencoding option (default utf-8)
	* library/http/http.tcl:     that specifies encoding conversion of

	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_FindNamespaceVar):
	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-17.10-12): reverted commit of
	2004-05-23 and removed the tests, as it interferes with the
	varname resolver and there are apps that break (AlphaTk). A fix
	will have to wait for Tcl9.

	* generic/tclVar.c: Caching of namespace variables disabled: no
	simple way was found to avoid interfering with the resolver's idea
	of variable existence. A cached varName may keep a variable's name
	in the namespace's hash table, which is the resolver's criterion
	for existence.

	* tests/namespace.c (namespace-17.10): testing for interference
	between varname caching and name resolver.

	* generic/tclInterp.c (DeleteScriptLimitCallback): Move all
	deletion of script callback hash table entries to happen here so
	the entries are correctly removed at the right time.  [Bug 960410]

2004-05-25  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>

	* docs/global.n: added details for qualified variable names
	[Bug 959831]

2004-05-25  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_FindNamespaceVar):
	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-17.10-12): reverted commit of
	2004-05-23 and removed the tests, as it interferes with the
	varname resolver and there are apps that break (AlphaTk). A fix
	will have to wait for Tcl9.

	* generic/tclVar.c: Caching of namespace variables disabled: no
	simple way was found to avoid interfering with the resolver's idea
	of variable existence. A cached varName may keep a variable's name
	in the namespace's hash table, which is the resolver's criterion
	for existence.

	* tests/namespace.c (namespace-17.10): testing for interference
	between varname caching and name resolver.

	* tests/winFCmd.test: Correct test for the presence of a CD-ROM so
			      that it doesn't misdetect some other sort
			      of filesystem with a write-protected root as
			      being a CD-ROM drive. [Bug 918267]

2004-05-25  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

	* tests/winPipe.test:	Protect against path being set
	* tests/unixInit.test:	Unset path when done.
	* tests/unload.test (unload-3.1): Verify [pkgb_sub] does not exist.
	Delete interps when done.

	(predecessor of [Bug 959052]) removed.
	* tests/namespace.test: added tests 17.10-12 

	The patch modifies non-documented behaviour, and passes every test
	in the testsuite. However, scripts relying on the old behaviour
	may break.
	Note that the only behaviour change concerns the creative writing
	of unset variables. More precisely, which variable will be created
	when neither a namespace variable nor a global variable by that
	name exists, as defined by [info vars]. The new behaviour is that
	the namespace resolution process deems a variable to exist exactly
	when [info vars] finds it - ie, either it has value, or else it
	was "fixed" by a call to [variable].
	Note: this patch was removed on 2002-05-25.

	("VAR ref absolute" benchmark down to 66 ms, from 230). 
	Added comments in TclLookupSimpleVar explaining my current

	- it simplifies the analysis of individual instructions

	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:     from Unix-specific stubs to the generic
	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: internal Stubs table.  Reran 'genstubs'
	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:

	* generic/tclClock.c: Changed a buggy 'GMT' timezone specification
			      to the correct 'GMT0'. [Bug #922848]

	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: Moved TclpGmtime and TclpLocaltime to
			      unix/tclUnixTime.c where they belong.

	* unix/tclUnixTime.c (TclpGmtime, TclpLocaltime, TclpGetTimeZone,
			      ThreadSafeGMTime [removed],
			      ThreadSafeLocalTime [removed],
			      SetTZIfNecessary, CleanupMemory):
	    Restructured to make sure that the same mutex protects
	    all calls to localtime, gmtime, and tzset.	Added a check
	    in front of those calls to make sure that the TZ env var
	    hasn't changed since the last call to tzset, and repeat
	    tzset if necessary. [Bug #942078]  Removed a buggy test
	    of the Daylight Saving Time information in 'gettimeofday'
	    in favor of applying 'localtime' to a known value.
	    [Bug #922848]

	BuildCommandLine() will do this for us.

2004-05-08  Vince Darley  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclFileName.c:

	TclFreeObjMacro(), so that the allocation and freeing of Tcl_Obj
	is defined in a single spot (the macros in tclInt.h), with the
	exception of the TCL_MEM_DEBUG case.

	* tests/fileSystem.test (filesystem-1.39): replace 'file volumes'
	* tests/fileName.test (filename-12.9,10):  lindex with direct C:/
	hard-coded because A:/ was being used and that is empty for most.

	* tests/winFCmd.test (winFCmd-16.12): test volumerelative $HOME

2004-05-04  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclAlloc.c:		Make sure Tclp*Alloc* routines get

	* generic/tclCompile.c:
	* generic/tclInt.h: reverted fix for [Bug 926445] of 2004-04-02,

	more permanent replacement.

2004-04-30  Kevin B. Kenny   <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: Added a temporary (or so I hope!)
	inclusion of "tclWinInt.h" to avoid problems when compiling
	on Win32-VC++ with --enable-threads.  [Bug 945447]

2004-04-30  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* doc/puts.n: Added a few examples.

2004-04-29  Don Porter	<[email protected]>

2004-04-26  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* doc/open.n, doc/close.n: Updated (thanks to David Welton) to be
	clearer about pipeline errors and added example to open(n) that shows
	simple pipeline use.  [Patches 941377,941380]

	* doc/DictObj.3: Added warning about the use of Tcl_DictObjDone and an
	example of use of iteration. [Bug 940843]

	* doc/Thread.3: Reworked to remove references to testing interfaces
	and instead promote the use of the Thread package. [Patch 932527]

	clicks] error message.

2004-04-07  Jeff Hobbs  <[email protected]>

	* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings): note that WIN32_CE
	is also a unicode platform.
	* generic/tclEncoding.c (TclFindEncodings, Tcl_FindExecutable):

	* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):   loading of Tcl from
	paths that contain multi-byte chars on Windows [Bug 920667]

	* win/configure:    define TCL_LIB_FLAG, TCL_BUILD_LIB_SPEC,
	* win/configure.in: TCL_LIB_SPEC, TCL_PACKAGE_PATH in tclConfig.sh.

2004-04-06  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	Patch 922727 committed.  Implements three changes:

	* generic/tclInt.h:	Reworked the Tcl header files into a clean
	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:	hierarchy where tcl.h < tclPort.h < tclInt.h 
	* win/tclWinInt.h:	and every C source file should #include
	* win/tclWinPort.h:	at most one of those files to satisfy its
	declaration needs.  tclWinInt.h and tclWinPort.h also better organized
	so that tclWinPort.h includes the Windows implementation of
	cross-platform declarations, while tclWinInt.h makes declarations that
	are available on Windows only.

	* tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-3.1):	Default encoding on Darwin
	systems is utf-8.  Thanks to Steven Abner (tauvan).  [Bug 928808]

2004-04-06  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* tests/cmdAH.test (cmdAH-18.2): Added constraint because
	access(...,X_OK) is defined to be permitted to be meaningless when
	running as root, and OSX exhibits this.  [Bug 929892]

2004-04-02  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclCompile.c:
	* generic/tclInt.h: removed the macro TCL_ALIGN() from tclInt.h,
	replaced by the static macro ALIGN() in tclCompile.c [Bug 926445]

2004-04-02  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclCompile.h: removed redundant #ifdef _TCLINT 
	[Bug 928415], reported by tauvan.

2004-04-02  Don Porter  <[email protected]ceforge.net>

	* tests/tcltest.test: Corrected constraint typos: "nonRoot" ->
	"notRoot".  Thanks to Steven Abner (tauvan).  [Bug 928353]

2004-04-01  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclInt.h:  Removed obsolete tclBlockTime* declarations.
	[Bug 926454]

2004-04-01  Vince Darley  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:	 Fix to privately reported vfs bug with
	'glob -type d -dir . *' across a vfs boundary.	No tests for
	this are currently possible without effectively moving tclvfs
	into Tcl's test suite.

2004-03-31  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	* doc/msgcat.n:	Clarified message catalog file encodings. [Bug 811457]
	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:
	Updated internals to make use of [dict]s to store message catalog
	data and to use [source -encoding utf-8] to access catalog files.
	Thanks to Michael Sclenker.  [Patch 875055, RFE 811459]
	Corrected [mcset] to be able to successfully set a translation to
	the empty string.  [mcset $loc $src {}] was incorrectly set the
	$loc translation of $src back to $src.	Also changed [ConvertLocale]
	to minimally require a non-empty "language" part in the locale value.
	If not, an error raised prompts [Init] to keep looking for a valid
	locale value, or ultimately fall back on the "C" locale. [Bug 811461].
	* library/msgcat/pkgIndex.tcl:	Bump to msgcat 1.4.1.  

2004-03-30  Donal K. Fellows  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclHash.c (HashStringKey): Cleaned up. This function is
	not faster, but it is a little bit clearer.
	* generic/tclLiteral.c (HashString): Applied logic from HashObjKey.
	* generic/tclObj.c (HashObjKey): Rewrote to fix fault which hashed
	every single-character object to the same hash bucket.  The new
	code is shorter, simpler, clearer, and (happily) faster.

2004-03-30  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC): reverting to the previous method
	for async tests in TEBC, as the new method turned out to be too
	costly. Async tests now run every 64 instructions.

2004-03-30  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclCompile.c:     New instruction code INST_START_CMD
	* generic/tclCompile.h:     that allows checking the bytecode's
	* generic/tclExecute.c:     validity [Bug 729692] and the interp's
	* tests/interp.test (18.9): readyness [Bug 495830] before running
	* tests/proc.test (7.1):    the command. It also changes the
	* tests/rename.test (6.1):  mechanics of the async tests in TEBC,
	doing it now at command start instead of every 16 instructions.

2004-03-30  Vince Darley  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclFileName.c:  Fix to Windows glob where the pattern is
	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:	  a volume relative path or a network
	* tests/fileName.test:	  share [Bug 898238]. On windows 'glob'
	* tests/fileSystem.test:  will now return the results of 
	'glob /foo/bar' and 'glob \\foo\\bar' as 'C:/foo/bar', i.e. a 
	correct absolute path (rather than a volume relative path).

	Note that the test suite does not test commands like 
	'glob //Machine/Shared/*' (on a network share).	 

2004-03-30  Vince Darley  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclPathObj.c:	  Fix to filename bugs recently
	* tests/fileName.test:	  introduced [Bug 918320].

2004-03-29  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main, StdinProc):	Append newline only
	* tests/basic.test (basic-46.1):		to incomplete scripts
	as part of multi-line script construction.  Do not add an extra
	trailing newline to the complete script.  [Bug 833150]

2004-03-28  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): corrected possible
	segfault when a compilation returns TCL_OUTLINE_COMPILE after
	having grown the compile environment [Bug 925121].

2004-03-27  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>

	* doc/array.n: added documentation for trace-realted behaviour of
	'array get' [Bug 449893]

2004-03-26  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	* README:		Bumped version number to 8.5a2 to
	* tools/tcl.wse.in:	distinguish HEAD of CVS development
	* unix/configure.in:	from the recent 8.5a1 release.
	* unix/tcl.spec:
	* win/README.binary:
	* win/configure.in:

	* tests/registry.test: Applied fix from Patch #910174 to
	make the test for an English-language system include any
	country code, rather than just English-United States.1252.
	Thanks to Pat Thoyts for the changes.

2004-03-04  Pat Thoyts  <[email protected]>

	* tests/registry.test: Applied fixed from #766159 to skip two
	tests on Win98 that depend on a Unicode registry (NT specific).

2004-03-04  Don Porter  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclInt.h (TclParseInit):	Factored the common code
	* generic/tclParse.c (TclParseInit):	for initializing a Tcl_Parse
	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:		struct into one routine.

2004-03-04  Pat Thoyts  <[email protected]>

	* library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl:  Added TIP #100 support to the
	* win/tclWinReg.c:           registry package (patch #903831)
	This provides a Windows test of the TIP #100 mechanism and 
	a sample to show how unloading an extension can be done.

	* changes: updated for 8.5a1

2004-03-03  David Gravereaux <[email protected]>

	* win/makefile.vc: default environment variable for VC++ is
	%MSDevDir% not %MSVCDir%, although vcvars32.bat sets both.

	* win/tclWinNotify.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent) : Allows an idling
	notifier to service "Asynchronous Procedure Calls" from its wait
	state.  Only useful for extension authors who decide they might
	want to try "completion routines" with WriteFileEx(), as an
	example.  From experience, I recommend that "completion	ports"
	should be used instead as the execution of the callbacks are more
	managable.

	* win/tclWinInit.c (AppendEnvironment):
	Use the tail component of the passed in
	lib path instead of just blindly using
	lib+4. That worked when lib was "lib/..."
	but fails for other values. Thanks go to
	Patrick Samson for pointing this out.

	* win/nmakehlp.c: better macro grepping logic.

2004-02-07  David Gravereaux  <[email protected]>

	* win/makefile.vc:
	* win/rules.vc:
	* win/tcl.rc:
	* win/tclsh.rc:  Added an 'unchecked' option to the OPTS macro so a
	core built with symbols can be linked to the non-debug enabled C
	run-time.  As per discussion with Kevin Kenny.  Called like this:

		nmake -af makefile.vc OPTS=unchecked,symbols

	This clarifies the meaning of the 'g' naming suffix to mean only that
	the binary requires the debug enabled C run-time.  Whether the binary
	contains symbols or not is a different condition.

	* win/tclWinReg.c:  Placed the requirement for advapi.lib into

	built with VC++.  This will simplify linking for users of the
	static library.

	* win/rules.vc:  Added new 'fullwarn' to the CHECKS commandline
	macro; sets $(FULLWARNINGS).

	* win/makefile.vc:  Removed 'advapi.lib' from $(baselibs).
	Added new logic to crank-up the warning levels for both compile
	and link when $(FULLWARNINGS) is set.  Some clean-up with how
	the resource files are built and how -DTCL_USE_STATIC_PACKAGES
	is sent when compiling the shells.

	is used.

	* win/tcl.rc:

	a debug suffix was still 'd', now is 'g'.

	* generic/tclDictObj.c: Assorted dict fixes from Peter Spjuth

	(DictReplaceCmd, DictRemoveCmd): Stop object leak.
	(DictIncrCmd,DictLappendCmd,DictAppendCmd,DictSetCmd,DictUnsetCmd):

	the #ifndef TCL_NO_DEPRECATED block.  This allows us to build Tcl
	to check for deprecated functions in use, such as panic() and
	Tcl_Ckalloc().  By request from DKF.  Extensions that build
	with -DTCL_NO_DEPRECATED now have these macros as restricted.
	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***

	* win/makefile.vc:
	* win/rules.vc:  Added -DTCL_NO_DEPRECATED usage to makefile.vc.
	Called like this:   nmake -af makefile.vc CHECKS=nodep

2004-01-09  Vince Darley  <[email protected]>

	Create fresh objects instead of using the one currently in the
	interpreter, which isn't guaranteed to be fresh and unshared. The
	cost for the core will be minimal because of the object cache, and
	this fixes [Bug 875395].

2004-01-12  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclCompExpr.c (CompileLandOrLorExpr): cosmetic changes.

2004-01-12  Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclCompExpr.c (CompileLandOrLorExpr): new logic, fewer
	instructions. As a side effect, the instructions INST_LOR and
	INST_LAND are now never used.
	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_JUMP*): small optimisation; fix a
	bug in debug code.

2004-01-11  David Gravereaux <[email protected]>

	* win/tclWinThrd.c (Tcl_ConditionNotify): condPtr must be
	dereferenced to see if there are waiters else uninitialized
	datum is manipulated.  [Bug 849007 789338 745068]

2004-01-09  David Gravereaux <[email protected]>

	* generic/tcl.h: Renamed and deprecated #defines moved to within
	the #ifndef TCL_NO_DEPRECATED block.  This allows us to build Tcl
	to check for deprecated functions in use, such as panic() and
	Tcl_Ckalloc().	By request from DKF.  Extensions that build
	with -DTCL_NO_DEPRECATED now have these macros as restricted.
	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***

	* win/makefile.vc:
	* win/rules.vc:	 Added -DTCL_NO_DEPRECATED usage to makefile.vc.
	Called like this:   nmake -af makefile.vc CHECKS=nodep

2004-01-09  Vince Darley  <[email protected]>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to infinite loop in
	TclFinalizeFilesystem [Bug 873311]

\fBTcl_GetObjResult\fR retrieves the dictionary of return options
from an interpreter following a script evaluation.
Routines such as \fBTcl_Eval\fR are called to evaluate a
script in an interpreter.  These routines return an integer
completion code.  These routines also leave in the interpreter
both a result and a dictionary of return options generated
by script evaluation.  Just as \fBTcl_GetObjResult\fR retrieves
the result, \fBTcl_GetReturnOptions\fR retrieves the dictionary
of return options.  The integer completion code should be
passed as the \fIcode\fR argument to \fBTcl_GetObjResult\fR
so that all required options will be present in the dictionary.
Specifically, a \fIcode\fR value of \fBTCL_ERROR\fR will
ensure that entries for the keys \fB-errorinfo\fR,
\fB-errorcode\fR, and \fB-errorline\fR will appear in the
dictionary.  Also, the entries for the keys \fB-code\fR
and \fB-level\fR will be adjusted if necessary to agree
with the value of \fIcode\fR.  The \fB(Tcl_Obj *)\fR returned

The \fBTcl_SetReturnOptions\fR and \fBTcl_GetReturnOptions\fR
routines expose the same capabilities as the \fBreturn\fR and
\fBcatch\fR commands, respectively, in the form of a C interface.
.PP
\fBTcl_GetReturnOptions\fR retrieves the dictionary of return options
from an interpreter following a script evaluation.
Routines such as \fBTcl_Eval\fR are called to evaluate a
script in an interpreter.  These routines return an integer
completion code.  These routines also leave in the interpreter
both a result and a dictionary of return options generated
by script evaluation.  Just as \fBTcl_GetObjResult\fR retrieves

of return options.  The integer completion code should be
passed as the \fIcode\fR argument to \fBTcl_GetReturnOptions\fR
so that all required options will be present in the dictionary.
Specifically, a \fIcode\fR value of \fBTCL_ERROR\fR will
ensure that entries for the keys \fB-errorinfo\fR,
\fB-errorcode\fR, and \fB-errorline\fR will appear in the

The best time to call \fBTcl_AddErrorInfo\fR is just after
a script evaluation routine has returned \fBTCL_ERROR\fR.
The value of the \fB-errorline\fR return option (retrieved
via a call to \fBTcl_GetReturnOptions\fR) often makes up
a useful part of the \fImessage\fR passed to \fBTcl_AddErrorInfo\fR.
.PP
\fBTcl_AddObjErrorInfo\fR is nearly identical
to \fBTcl_AddObjErrorInfo\fR, except that it has an additional \fIlength\fR
argument.  This allows the \fImessage\fR string to contain 
embedded null bytes.  This is essentially never a good idea.
If the \fImessage\fR needs to contain the null character \fBU+0000\fR,
Tcl's usual internal encoding rules should be used to avoid
the need for a null byte.  If the \fBTcl_AddObjErrorInfo\fR
interface is used at all, it should be with a negative \fIlength\fR value.

If the procedure \fBTcl_ResetResult\fR is called,
it clears all of the state of ther interpreter associated with
script evaluation, including the entire return options dictionary.
In particular, the \fB-errorinfo\fR and \fB-errorcode\fR options
are reset.  
If an error had occurred, the \fBTcl_ResetResult\fR call will
clear the error state to make it appear as if no error had
occurred after all.
The global variables \fBerrorInfo\fR and
\fBerrorCode\fR are not modified by \fBTcl_ResetResult\fR
so they continue to hold a record of information about the
more recent error seen in an interpreter.

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
These procedures are used to create, modify, and read
boolean Tcl objects from C code.
\fBTcl_NewBooleanObj\fR and \fBTcl_SetBooleanObj\fR
will create a new object of boolean type
or modify an existing object to have boolean type. 
Both of these procedures set the object to have the
boolean value (0 or 1) specified by \fIboolValue\fR;
if \fIboolValue\fR is nonzero, the object is set to 1,
otherwise to 0.
\fBTcl_NewBooleanObj\fR returns a pointer to a newly created object

with reference count zero.

Both procedures set the object's type to be boolean

and assign the boolean value to the object's internal representation


\fIlongValue\fR member.


\fBTcl_SetBooleanObj\fR invalidates any old string representation


and, if the object is not already a boolean object,










frees any old internal representation.



.PP
\fBTcl_GetBooleanFromObj\fR attempts to return a boolean value
from the Tcl object \fIobjPtr\fR.
If the object is not already a boolean object,
it will attempt to convert it to one.
If an error occurs during conversion, it returns \fBTCL_ERROR\fR
and leaves an error message in the interpreter's result object
unless \fIinterp\fR is NULL.

Otherwise, \fBTcl_GetBooleanFromObj\fR returns \fBTCL_OK\fR
and stores the boolean value in the address given by \fIboolPtr\fR.
If the object is not already a boolean object,
the conversion will free any old internal representation.
Objects having a string representation equal to any of \fB0\fR,
\fBfalse\fR, \fBno\fR, or \fBoff\fR have a boolean value 0; if the
string representation is any of \fB1\fR, \fBtrue\fR, \fByes\fR, or
\fBon\fR the boolean value is 1.
Any of these string values may be abbreviated, and upper-case spellings
are also acceptable.

.SH ARGUMENTS
.AS Tcl_Interp boolValue in/out
.AP int boolValue in
Integer value to be stored as a boolean value in a Tcl_Obj.


.AP Tcl_Obj *objPtr in/out
Points to the Tcl_Obj in which to store, or from which to


retrieve a boolean value.


.AP Tcl_Interp *interp in/out
If a boolean value cannot be retrieved,
an error message is left in the interpreter's result object
unless \fIinterp\fR is NULL.
.AP int *boolPtr out
Points to place where \fBTcl_GetBooleanFromObj\fR
stores the boolean value (0 or 1) obtained from \fIobjPtr\fR.
.BE

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
These procedures are used to pass boolean values to and from
Tcl as Tcl_Obj's.  When storing a boolean value into a Tcl_Obj,
any non-zero integer value in \fIboolValue\fR is taken to be
the boolean value \fB1\fR, and the integer value \fB0\fR is


taken to be the boolean value \fB0\fR.

.PP
\fBTcl_NewBooleanObj\fR creates a new Tcl_Obj, stores the boolean
value \fIboolValue\fR in it, and returns a pointer to the new Tcl_Obj.
The new Tcl_Obj has reference count of zero.
.PP
\fBTcl_SetBooleanObj\fR accepts \fIobjPtr\fR, a pointer to
an existing Tcl_Obj, and stores in the Tcl_Obj \fI*objPtr\fR 
the boolean value \fIboolValue\fR.  This is a write operation
on \fI*objPtr\fR, so \fIobjPtr\fR must be unshared.  Attempts to
write to a shared Tcl_Obj will panic.  A successful write
of \fIboolValue\fR into \fI*objPtr\fR implies the freeing of
any former value stored in \fI*objPtr\fR.
.PP
\fBTcl_GetBooleanFromObj\fR attempts to retrive a boolean value
from the value stored in \fI*objPtr\fR.
If \fIobjPtr\fR holds a string value recognized by \fBTcl_GetBoolean\fR,
then the recognized boolean value is written at the address given
by \fIboolPtr\fR.  
If \fIobjPtr\fR holds any value recognized as
a number by Tcl, then if that value is zero a 0 is written at
the address given by \fIboolPtr\fR and if that
value is non-zero a 1 is written at the address given by \fIboolPtr\fR.
In all cases where a value is written at the address given
by \fIboolPtr\fR, \fBTcl_GetBooleanFromObj\fR returns \fBTCL_OK\fR.
If the value of \fIobjPtr\fR does not meet any of the conditions
above, then \fBTCL_ERROR\fR is returned and an error message is 
left in the interpreter's result unless \fIinterp\fR is NULL.
\fBTcl_GetBooleanFromObj\fR may also make changes to the internal
fields of \fI*objPtr\fR so that future calls to 
\fBTcl_GetBooleanFromObj\fR on the same \fIobjPtr\fR can be
performed more efficiently.
.PP
Note that the routines \fBTcl_GetBooleanFromObj\fR and
\fBTcl_GetBoolean\fR are not functional equivalents.
The set of values for which \fBTcl_GetBooleanFromObj\fR



will return \fBTCL_OK\fR is strictly larger than
the set of values for which \fBTcl_GetBoolean\fR will do the same.
For example, the value "5" passed to \fBTcl_GetBooleanFromObj\fR
will lead to a \fBTCL_OK\fR return (and the boolean value 1),





while the same value passed to \fBTcl_GetBoolean\fR will lead to


a \fBTCL_ERROR\fR return.

passing to \fITcl_StringMatch\fR), or NULL to not apply any filter.
.BE

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Tcl allows a number of mathematical functions to be used in
expressions, such as \fBsin\fR, \fBcos\fR, and \fBhypot\fR.


\fBTcl_CreateMathFunc\fR allows applications to add additional functions
to those already provided by Tcl or to replace existing functions.





\fIName\fR is the name of the function as it will appear in expressions.
If \fIname\fR doesn't already exist as a function then a new function

is created.  If it does exist, then the existing function is replaced.
\fINumArgs\fR and \fIargTypes\fR describe the arguments to the function.
Each entry in the \fIargTypes\fR array must be
.VS 8.4
one of \fBTCL_INT\fR, \fBTCL_DOUBLE\fR, \fBTCL_WIDE_INT\fR,
or \fBTCL_EITHER\fR to indicate whether the corresponding argument must be an
integer, a double-precision floating value, a wide (64-bit) integer,
or any, respectively.
.VE 8.4
.PP
Whenever the function is invoked in an expression Tcl will invoke
\fIproc\fR.  \fIProc\fR should have arguments and result that match
the type \fBTcl_MathProc\fR:
.CS
typedef int Tcl_MathProc(
        ClientData \fIclientData\fR,
        Tcl_Interp *\fIinterp\fR,
        Tcl_Value *\fIargs\fR,
        Tcl_Value *\fIresultPtr\fR);
.CE
.PP
When \fIproc\fR is invoked the \fIclientData\fR and \fIinterp\fR
arguments will be the same as those passed to \fBTcl_CreateMathFunc\fR.
\fIArgs\fR will point to an array of \fInumArgs\fR Tcl_Value structures,
which describe the actual arguments to the function:
.VS 8.4
.CS
typedef struct Tcl_Value {
        Tcl_ValueType \fItype\fR;
        long \fIintValue\fR;
        double \fIdoubleValue\fR;
        Tcl_WideInt \fIwideValue\fR;
} Tcl_Value;
.CE
.PP
The \fItype\fR field indicates the type of the argument and is
one of \fBTCL_INT\fR, \fBTCL_DOUBLE\fR or \fBTCL_WIDE_INT\fR.
.VE 8.4
It will match the \fIargTypes\fR value specified for the function unless
the \fIargTypes\fR value was \fBTCL_EITHER\fR. Tcl converts
the argument supplied in the expression to the type requested in
\fIargTypes\fR, if that is necessary.
Depending on the value of the \fItype\fR field, the \fIintValue\fR,
.VS 8.4
\fIdoubleValue\fR or \fIwideValue\fR
.VE 8.4
field will contain the actual value of the argument.
.PP
\fIProc\fR should compute its result and store it either as an integer
in \fIresultPtr->intValue\fR or as a floating value in
\fIresultPtr->doubleValue\fR.
It should set also \fIresultPtr->type\fR to one of
.VS 8.4
\fBTCL_INT\fR, \fBTCL_DOUBLE\fR or \fBTCL_WIDE_INT\fR
.VE 8.4
to indicate which value was set.
Under normal circumstances \fIproc\fR should return \fBTCL_OK\fR.
If an error occurs while executing the function, \fIproc\fR should
return \fBTCL_ERROR\fR and leave an error message in the interpreter's result.
.PP
.VS 8.4
\fBTcl_GetMathFuncInfo\fR retrieves the values associated with
function \fIname\fR that were passed to a preceding
\fBTcl_CreateMathFunc\fR call.  Normally, the return code is
\fBTCL_OK\fR but if the named function does not exist, \fBTCL_ERROR\fR
is returned and an error message is placed in the interpreter's
result.
.PP
If an error did not occur, the array reference placed in the variable
pointed to by \fIargTypesPtr\fR is newly allocated, and should be
released by passing it to \fBTcl_Free\fR.  Some functions (the
standard set implemented in the core) are implemented directly at the

bytecode level; attempting to retrieve values for them causes a NULL
to be stored in the variable pointed to by \fIprocPtr\fR and the
variable pointed to by \fIclientDataPtr\fR will not be modified.



.PP
\fBTcl_ListMathFuncs\fR returns a Tcl object containing a list of all
the math functions defined in the interpreter whose name matches
\fIpattern\fR.  In the case of an error, NULL is returned and an error
message is left in the interpreter result, and otherwise the returned
object will have a reference count of zero.

passing to \fITcl_StringMatch\fR), or NULL to not apply any filter.

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Tcl allows a number of mathematical functions to be used in
expressions, such as \fBsin\fR, \fBcos\fR, and \fBhypot\fR.
These functions are represented by commands in the namespace,
\fBtcl::mathfunc\fR.  The \fBTcl_CreateMathFunc\fR function is
an obsolete way for applications to add additional functions
to those already provided by Tcl or to replace existing functions.
It should not be used by new applications, which should create
math functions using \fBTcl_CreateObjCommand\fR to create a command
in the \fBtcl::mathfunc\fR namespace.
.PP
In the \fBTcl_CreateMathFunc\fR interface,
\fIName\fR is the name of the function as it will appear in expressions.
If \fIname\fR doesn't already exist in the \fB::tcl::mathfunc\fR
namespace, then a new command is created in that namespace.
If \fIname\fR does exist, then the existing function is replaced.
\fINumArgs\fR and \fIargTypes\fR describe the arguments to the function.
Each entry in the \fIargTypes\fR array must be

one of \fBTCL_INT\fR, \fBTCL_DOUBLE\fR, \fBTCL_WIDE_INT\fR,
or \fBTCL_EITHER\fR to indicate whether the corresponding argument must be an
integer, a double-precision floating value, a wide (64-bit) integer,
or any, respectively.

.PP
Whenever the function is invoked in an expression Tcl will invoke
\fIproc\fR.  \fIProc\fR should have arguments and result that match
the type \fBTcl_MathProc\fR:
.CS
typedef int Tcl_MathProc(
        ClientData \fIclientData\fR,
        Tcl_Interp *\fIinterp\fR,
        Tcl_Value *\fIargs\fR,
        Tcl_Value *\fIresultPtr\fR);
.CE
.PP
When \fIproc\fR is invoked the \fIclientData\fR and \fIinterp\fR
arguments will be the same as those passed to \fBTcl_CreateMathFunc\fR.
\fIArgs\fR will point to an array of \fInumArgs\fR Tcl_Value structures,
which describe the actual arguments to the function:

.CS
typedef struct Tcl_Value {
        Tcl_ValueType \fItype\fR;
        long \fIintValue\fR;
        double \fIdoubleValue\fR;
        Tcl_WideInt \fIwideValue\fR;
} Tcl_Value;
.CE
.PP
The \fItype\fR field indicates the type of the argument and is
one of \fBTCL_INT\fR, \fBTCL_DOUBLE\fR or \fBTCL_WIDE_INT\fR.

It will match the \fIargTypes\fR value specified for the function unless
the \fIargTypes\fR value was \fBTCL_EITHER\fR. Tcl converts
the argument supplied in the expression to the type requested in
\fIargTypes\fR, if that is necessary.
Depending on the value of the \fItype\fR field, the \fIintValue\fR,

\fIdoubleValue\fR or \fIwideValue\fR

field will contain the actual value of the argument.
.PP
\fIProc\fR should compute its result and store it either as an integer
in \fIresultPtr->intValue\fR or as a floating value in
\fIresultPtr->doubleValue\fR.
It should set also \fIresultPtr->type\fR to one of

\fBTCL_INT\fR, \fBTCL_DOUBLE\fR or \fBTCL_WIDE_INT\fR

to indicate which value was set.
Under normal circumstances \fIproc\fR should return \fBTCL_OK\fR.
If an error occurs while executing the function, \fIproc\fR should
return \fBTCL_ERROR\fR and leave an error message in the interpreter's result.
.PP

\fBTcl_GetMathFuncInfo\fR retrieves the values associated with
function \fIname\fR that were passed to a preceding
\fBTcl_CreateMathFunc\fR call.  Normally, the return code is
\fBTCL_OK\fR but if the named function does not exist, \fBTCL_ERROR\fR
is returned and an error message is placed in the interpreter's
result.
.PP
If an error did not occur, the array reference placed in the variable
pointed to by \fIargTypesPtr\fR is newly allocated, and should be
released by passing it to \fBTcl_Free\fR.  Some functions (the
standard set implemented in the core, and those defined by placing
commands in the \fBtcl::mathfunc\fR namespace) do not have
argument type information; attempting to retrieve values for
them causes a NULL to be stored in the variable pointed to by 
\fIprocPtr\fR and the variable pointed to by \fIclientDataPtr\fR
will not be modified.  The variable pointed to by \fInumArgsPointer\fR
will contain -1, and no argument types will be stored in the variable
pointed to by \fIargTypesPointer\fR.
.PP
\fBTcl_ListMathFuncs\fR returns a Tcl object containing a list of all
the math functions defined in the interpreter whose name matches
\fIpattern\fR.  In the case of an error, NULL is returned and an error
message is left in the interpreter result, and otherwise the returned
object will have a reference count of zero.

\fBTcl_DStringAppend\fR returns a pointer to the characters of
the new string.  The string can also be retrieved from the
\fIstring\fR field of the Tcl_DString structure.
.PP
\fBTcl_DStringAppendElement\fR is similar to \fBTcl_DStringAppend\fR
except that it doesn't take a \fIlength\fR argument (it appends
all of \fIelement\fR) and it converts the string to a proper list element
before appending.
\fBTcl_DStringAppendElement\fR adds a separator space before the
new list element unless the new list element is the first in a
list or sub-list (i.e. either the current string is empty, or it
contains the single character ``{'', or the last two characters of
the current string are `` {'').
\fBTcl_DStringAppendElement\fR returns a pointer to the

.SH DESCRIPTION
An ensemble is a command, bound to some namespace, which consists of a
collection of subcommands implemented by other Tcl commands. The first
argument to the ensemble command is always interpreted as a selector
that states what subcommand to execute.
.PP
Ensembles are created using \fBTcl_CreateEnsemble\fR, which takes four
arguments: the interpreter to work within, the name of the ensemble to
create, the namespace within the interpreter to bind the ensemble to,
and the default set of ensemble flags. The result of the function is
the command token for the ensemble, which may be used to further
configure the ensemble using the API descibed below in \fBENSEMBLE
PROPERTIES\fR.
.PP
Given the name of an ensemble command, the token for that command may
be retrieved using \fBTcl_FindEnsemble\fR. If the given command name
(in \fIcmdNameObj\fR) does not refer to an ensemble command, the
result of the function is NULL and (if the TCL_LEAVE_ERR_MSG bit is
set in \fIflags\fR) an error message is left in the interpreter
result.
.PP
A command token may be checked to see if it refers to an ensemble
using \fBTcl_IsEnsemble\fR. This returns 1 if the token refers to an
ensemble, or 0 otherwise.
.SS "ENSEMBLE PROPERTIES"
Every ensemble has four read-write properties and a read-only
property. The properties are:
.TP
\fBflags\fR (read-write)
The set of flags for the ensemble, expressed as a
bit-field. Currently, the only public flag is TCL_ENSEMBLE_PREFIX
which is set when unambiguous prefixes of subcommands are permitted to
be resolved to implementations as well as exact matches. The flags may
be read and written using \fBTcl_GetEnsembleFlags\fR and
\fBTcl_SetEnsembleFlags\fR respectively. The result of both of those
functions is a Tcl result code (TCL_OK, or TCL_ERROR if the token does
not refer to an ensemble).
.TP
\fBmapping dictionary\fR (read-write)
A dictionary containing a mapping from subcommand names to lists of
words to use as a command prefix (replacing the first two words of the
command which are the ensemble command itself and the subcommand
name), or NULL if every subcommand is to be mapped to the command with
the same unqualified name in the ensemble's bound namespace. Defaults
to NULL. May be read and written using
\fBTcl_GetEnsembleMappingDict\fR and \fBTcl_SetEnsembleMappingDict\fR
respectively. The result of both of those functions is a Tcl result
code (TCL_OK, or TCL_ERROR if the token does not refer to an
ensemble) and the dictionary obtained from
\fBTcl_GetEnsembleMappingDict\fR should always be treated as immutable
even if it is unshared.
.TP
\fBsubcommand list\fR (read-write)
A list of all the subcommand names for the ensemble, or NULL if this
is to be derived from either the keys of the mapping dictionary (see
above) or (if that is also NULL) from the set of commands exported by
the bound namespace. May be read and written using
\fBTcl_GetEnsembleSubcommandList\fR and
\fBTcl_SetEnsembleSubcommandList\fR respectively. The result of both
of those functions is a Tcl result code (TCL_OK, or TCL_ERROR if the
token does not refer to an ensemble) and the list obtained from
\fBTcl_GetEnsembleSubcommandList\fR should alays be treated as
immutable even if it is unshared.
.TP
\fBunknown subcommand handler command prefix\fR (read-write)
A list of words to prepend on the front of any subcommand when the
subcommand is unknown to the ensemble (according to the current prefix
handling rule); see the \fBnamespace ensemble\fR command for more
details. If NULL, the default behavior \- generate a suitable error
message \- will be used when an unknown subcommand is encountered. May
be read and written using \fBTcl_GetEnsembleUnknownHandler\fR and
\fBTcl_SetEnsembleUnknownHandler\fR respectively. The result of both
functions is a Tcl result code (TCL_OK, or TCL_ERROR if the token does
not refer to an ensemble) and the list obtained from
\fBTcl_GetEnsembleUnknownHandler\fR should always be treated as
immutable even if it is unshared.
.TP
\fBbound namespace\fR (read-only)
The namespace to which the ensemble is bound; when the namespace is
deleted, so too will the ensemble, and this namespace is also the
namespace whose list of exported commands is used if both the mapping
dictionary and the subcommand list properties are NULL. May be read
using \fBTcl_GetEnsembleNamespace\fR which returns a Tcl result code
(TCL_OK, or TCL_ERROR if the token does not refer to an ensemble).

These four procedures all evaluate the expression
given by the \fIstring\fR argument
and return the result in one of four different forms.
The expression can have any of the forms accepted by the \fBexpr\fR command.
Note that these procedures have been largely replaced by the
object-based procedures \fBTcl_ExprLongObj\fR, \fBTcl_ExprDoubleObj\fR,
\fBTcl_ExprBooleanObj\fR, and \fBTcl_ExprObj\fR.
Those object-based procedures evaluate an expression held in a Tcl object
instead of a string.

If the expression's actual value is a non-numeric string then
it must be one of the values accepted by \fBTcl_GetBoolean\fR
such as ``yes'' or ``no'', or else an error occurs.
.PP
\fBTcl_ExprString\fR returns the value of the expression as a
string stored in the interpreter's result.
If the expression's actual value is an integer
then \fBTcl_ExprString\fR converts it to a string using \fBsprintf\fR
with a ``%d'' converter.
If the expression's actual value is a floating-point
number, then \fBTcl_ExprString\fR calls \fBTcl_PrintDouble\fR
to convert it to a string.

\fBTcl_FSGetTranslatedStringPath\fR does the same as
\fBTcl_FSGetTranslatedPath\fR, but returns a character string or NULL.
The string returned is dynamically allocated and owned by the caller,
which must store it or call \fBckfree\fR to ensure it is freed.  Again,
\fBTcl_FSGetNormalizedPath\fR or \fBTcl_GetNativePath\fR are usually
better functions to use for most purposes.
.PP
\fBTcl_FSNewNativePath\fR performs something like that reverse of the
usual obj->path->nativerep conversions.  If some code retrieves a path
in native form (from, e.g. \fBreadlink\fR or a native dialog), and that path
is to be used at the Tcl level, then calling this function is an
efficient way of creating the appropriate path object type.
.PP
The resulting object is a pure 'path' object, which will only receive
a Utf-8 string representation if that is required by some Tcl code.

The return value is a standard Tcl result indicating whether an error

\fIinterp\fR; on a \fBTCL_OK\fR result, results should be added to the

unshared Tcl list).  The matches added
to \fIresultPtr\fR should include any path prefix given in \fIpathPtr\fR

result; errors are only signaled for actual file or filesystem
problems which may occur during the matching process.

\fIinterp\fR, unless \fIinterp\fR in NULL in which case no error
message need be generated; on a \fBTCL_OK\fR result, results should be 
added to the \fIresultPtr\fR object given (which can be assumed to be a 
valid unshared Tcl list).  The matches added
to \fIresultPtr\fR should include any path prefix given in \fIpathPtr\fR
(this usually means they will be absolute path specifications).
Note that if no matches are found, that simply leads to an empty
result; errors are only signaled for actual file or filesystem
problems which may occur during the matching process.

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
These procedures convert from strings to integers or double-precision
floating-point values or booleans (represented as 0- or 1-valued
integers).  Each of the procedures takes a \fIstring\fR argument,
converts it to an internal form of a particular type, and stores
the converted value at the location indicated by the procedure's
third argument.  If all goes well, each of the procedures returns
\fBTCL_OK\fR.  If \fIstring\fR doesn't have the proper syntax for the
desired type then \fBTCL_ERROR\fR is returned, an error message is left
in the interpreter's result, and nothing is stored at *\fIintPtr\fR
or *\fIdoublePtr\fR or *\fIboolPtr\fR.
.PP
\fBTcl_GetInt\fR expects \fIstring\fR to consist of a collection
of integer digits, optionally signed and optionally preceded by
white space.  If the first two characters of \fIstring\fR are ``0x''

then \fIstring\fR is expected to be in hexadecimal form;  otherwise,
if the first character of \fIstring\fR is ``0'' then \fIstring\fR
is expected to be in octal form;  otherwise, \fIstring\fR is
expected to be in decimal form.
.PP
\fBTcl_GetDouble\fR expects \fIstring\fR to consist of a floating-point
number, which is:  white space;  a sign; a sequence of digits;  a
decimal point;  a sequence of digits;  the letter ``e'';  and a

signed decimal exponent.  Any of the fields may be omitted, except that
the digits either before or after the decimal point must be present
and if the ``e'' is present then it must be followed by the
exponent number.
.PP
\fBTcl_GetBoolean\fR expects \fIstring\fR to specify a boolean
value.  If \fIstring\fR is any of \fB0\fR, \fBfalse\fR,
\fBno\fR, or \fBoff\fR, then \fBTcl_GetBoolean\fR stores a zero
value at \fI*boolPtr\fR.
If \fIstring\fR is any of \fB1\fR, \fBtrue\fR, \fByes\fR, or \fBon\fR,
then 1 is stored at \fI*boolPtr\fR.
Any of these values may be abbreviated, and upper-case spellings
are also acceptable.

for the access specified by \fIwrite\fR) then \fBTCL_ERROR\fR is returned
and the interpreter's result will contain an error message.
In the current implementation \fIcheckUsage\fR is ignored and consistency
checks are always performed.

If an error occurs in \fBTcl_GetOpenFile\fR (e.g. \fIchanID\fR didn't
make any sense or \fIcheckUsage\fR was set and the file wasn't opened
for the access specified by \fIwrite\fR) then \fBTCL_ERROR\fR is returned
and the interpreter's result will contain an error message.
In the current implementation \fIcheckUsage\fR is ignored and consistency
checks are always performed.

.PP
The \fBTcl_SetTime\fR function registers two related handler functions
with the core. The first handler function is a replacement for
\fBTcl_GetTime\fR, or rather the OS access made by
\fBTcl_GetTime\fR. The other handler function is used by the Tcl
notifier to convert wait/block times from the virtual domain into real
time.
.PP
The \fBTcl_QueryTime\fR function returns the currently registered
handler functions. If no external handlers were set then this will
return the standard handlers accessing and processing the native time
of the OS. The arguments to the function are allowed to be NULL; and
any argument which is NULL is ignored and not set.
.PP
Any handler pair specified has to return data which is consistent
between them. In other words, setting one handler of the pair to
something assuming a 10-times slowdown, and the other handler of the
pair to something assuming a two-times slowdown is wrong and not
allowed.
.PP
The set handler functions are allowed to run the delivered time
backwards, however this should be avoided. We have to allow it as the
native time can run backwards as the user can fiddle with the system
time one way or other. Note that the insertion of the hooks will not
change the behaviour of the Tcl core with regard to this situation,
i.e. the existing behaviour is retained.

\fBTcl_NewIntObj\fR, \fBTcl_NewLongObj\fR and \fBTcl_NewWideIntObj\fR
return a pointer to a newly created object with reference count zero.
These procedures set the object's type to be integer

being returned by the command.
The \fIresult\fR field must always point to a valid string.
If a command wishes to return no result then \fIinterp->result\fR
should point to an empty string.
Normally, results are assumed to be statically allocated,
which means that the contents will not change before the next time
\fBTcl_Eval\fR is called or some other command procedure is invoked.
.VS
In this case, the \fIfreeProc\fR field must be zero.
Alternatively, a command procedure may dynamically
allocate its return value (e.g. using \fBTcl_Alloc\fR)
and store a pointer to it in \fIinterp->result\fR.
In this case, the command procedure must also set \fIinterp->freeProc\fR
to the address of a procedure that can free the value, or \fBTCL_DYNAMIC\fR
if the storage was allocated directly by Tcl or by a call to
\fBTcl_Alloc\fR. 
.VE
If \fIinterp->freeProc\fR is non-zero, then Tcl will call \fIfreeProc\fR
to free the space pointed to by \fIinterp->result\fR before it
invokes the next command.
If a client procedure overwrites \fIinterp->result\fR when
\fIinterp->freeProc\fR is non-zero, then it is responsible for calling
\fIfreeProc\fR to free the old \fIinterp->result\fR (the \fBTcl_FreeResult\fR
macro should be used for this purpose).
.PP
\fIFreeProc\fR should have arguments and result that match the
\fBTcl_FreeProc\fR declaration above:  it receives a single
argument which is a pointer to the result value to free.
.VS
In most applications \fBTCL_DYNAMIC\fR is the only non-zero value ever
used for \fIfreeProc\fR.
.VE
However, an application may store a different procedure address
in \fIfreeProc\fR in order to use an alternate memory allocator
or in order to do other cleanup when the result memory is freed.
.PP
As part of processing each command, \fBTcl_Eval\fR initializes
\fIinterp->result\fR
and \fIinterp->freeProc\fR just before calling the command procedure for

After \fBTcl_ParseQuotedString\fR returns,
the array of tokens pointed to by the \fItokenPtr\fR field of the
Tcl_Parse structure depends on the contents of the quoted string.
It will consist of one or more \fBTCL_TOKEN_TEXT\fR, \fBTCL_TOKEN_BS\fR,
\fBTCL_TOKEN_COMMAND\fR, and \fBTCL_TOKEN_VARIABLE\fR sub-tokens.
The array always contains at least one token;
for example, if the argument \fIstring\fR is empty,
the array returned consists of a single \fBTCL_TOKEN_TEXT\fR token
with a zero \fIsize\fR field.
Only the token information in the Tcl_Parse structure
is modified: the \fIcommentStart\fR, \fIcommentSize\fR,
\fIcommandStart\fR, and \fIcommandSize\fR fields are not modified.
.PP
After \fBTcl_ParseVarName\fR returns, the first token pointed to by
the \fItokenPtr\fR field of the
Tcl_Parse structure always has type \fBTCL_TOKEN_VARIABLE\fR.  It
is followed by the sub-tokens that make up the variable name as
described above.  The total length of the variable name is
contained in the \fIsize\fR field of the first token.
As in \fBTcl_ParseExpr\fR,
only the token information in the Tcl_Parse structure
is modified by \fBTcl_ParseVarName\fR:
the \fIcommentStart\fR, \fIcommentSize\fR,
\fIcommandStart\fR, and \fIcommandSize\fR fields are not modified.
.PP
All of the character pointers in the
Tcl_Parse and Tcl_Token structures refer
to characters in the \fIstring\fR argument passed to
\fBTcl_ParseCommand\fR, \fBTcl_ParseExpr\fR, \fBTcl_ParseBraces\fR,
\fBTcl_ParseQuotedString\fR, and \fBTcl_ParseVarName\fR.
.PP
There are additional fields in the Tcl_Parse structure after the
\fInumTokens\fR field, but these are for the private use of
\fBTcl_ParseCommand\fR, \fBTcl_ParseExpr\fR, \fBTcl_ParseBraces\fR,
\fBTcl_ParseQuotedString\fR, and \fBTcl_ParseVarName\fR; they should not be
referenced by code outside of these procedures.

After \fBTcl_ParseQuotedString\fR returns,
the array of tokens pointed to by the \fItokenPtr\fR field of the
Tcl_Parse structure depends on the contents of the quoted string.
It will consist of one or more \fBTCL_TOKEN_TEXT\fR, \fBTCL_TOKEN_BS\fR,
\fBTCL_TOKEN_COMMAND\fR, and \fBTCL_TOKEN_VARIABLE\fR sub-tokens.
The array always contains at least one token;
for example, if the argument \fIstart\fR is empty,
the array returned consists of a single \fBTCL_TOKEN_TEXT\fR token
with a zero \fIsize\fR field.
Only the token information in the Tcl_Parse structure
is modified: the \fIcommentStart\fR, \fIcommentSize\fR,
\fIcommandStart\fR, and \fIcommandSize\fR fields are not modified.
.PP
After \fBTcl_ParseVarName\fR returns, the first token pointed to by
the \fItokenPtr\fR field of the
Tcl_Parse structure always has type \fBTCL_TOKEN_VARIABLE\fR.  It
is followed by the sub-tokens that make up the variable name as
described above.  The total length of the variable name is
contained in the \fIsize\fR field of the first token.
As in \fBTcl_ParseExpr\fR,
only the token information in the Tcl_Parse structure
is modified by \fBTcl_ParseVarName\fR:
the \fIcommentStart\fR, \fIcommentSize\fR,
\fIcommandStart\fR, and \fIcommandSize\fR fields are not modified.
.PP
All of the character pointers in the
Tcl_Parse and Tcl_Token structures refer
to characters in the \fIstart\fR argument passed to
\fBTcl_ParseCommand\fR, \fBTcl_ParseExpr\fR, \fBTcl_ParseBraces\fR,
\fBTcl_ParseQuotedString\fR, and \fBTcl_ParseVarName\fR.
.PP
There are additional fields in the Tcl_Parse structure after the
\fInumTokens\fR field, but these are for the private use of
\fBTcl_ParseCommand\fR, \fBTcl_ParseExpr\fR, \fBTcl_ParseBraces\fR,
\fBTcl_ParseQuotedString\fR, and \fBTcl_ParseVarName\fR; they should not be
referenced by code outside of these procedures.

.sp
\fBTcl_PrintDouble\fR(\fIinterp, value, dst\fR)
.SH ARGUMENTS
.AS Tcl_Interp *interp out
.AP Tcl_Interp *interp in
.VS
Before Tcl 8.0, the \fBtcl_precision\fR variable in this interpreter
controlled the conversion.  As of Tcl 8.0, this argument is ignored and
the conversion is controlled by the \fBtcl_precision\fR variable
that is now shared by all interpreters.

.AP double value in
Floating-point value to be converted.
.AP char *dst out
Where to store the string representing \fIvalue\fR.  Must have at
least \fBTCL_DOUBLE_SPACE\fR characters of storage.

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
\fBTcl_PrintDouble\fR generates a string that represents the value
of \fIvalue\fR and stores it in memory at the location given by
\fIdst\fR.  It uses \fB%g\fR format to generate the string, with one
special twist: the string is guaranteed to contain either
a ``.'' or an ``e'' so that it doesn't look like an integer.  Where
\fB%g\fR would generate an integer with no decimal point, \fBTcl_PrintDouble\fR
adds ``.0''.

If there is a match then \fBTcl_RegExpMatch\fR returns 1.
If there is no match then \fBTcl_RegExpMatch\fR returns 0.
If an error occurs in the matching process (e.g. \fIpattern\fR
is not a valid regular expression) then \fBTcl_RegExpMatch\fR
returns \-1 and leaves an error message in the interpreter result.
\fBTcl_RegExpMatchObj\fR is similar to \fBTcl_RegExpMatch\fR except it
operates on the Tcl objects \fIstrObj\fR and \fIpatObj\fR instead of
UTF strings. 
\fBTcl_RegExpMatchObj\fR is generally more efficient than
\fBTcl_RegExpMatch\fR, so it is the preferred interface.
.PP
\fBTcl_RegExpCompile\fR, \fBTcl_RegExpExec\fR, and \fBTcl_RegExpRange\fR
provide lower-level access to the regular expression pattern matcher.
\fBTcl_RegExpCompile\fR compiles a regular expression string into
the internal form used for efficient pattern matching.
The return value is a token for this compiled form, which can be
used in subsequent calls to \fBTcl_RegExpExec\fR or \fBTcl_RegExpRange\fR.
If an error occurs while compiling the regular expression then
\fBTcl_RegExpCompile\fR returns NULL and leaves an error message
in the interpreter result.
Note:  the return value from \fBTcl_RegExpCompile\fR is only valid
up to the next call to \fBTcl_RegExpCompile\fR;  it is not safe to
retain these values for long periods of time.
.PP
\fBTcl_RegExpExec\fR executes the regular expression pattern matcher.
It returns 1 if \fIstring\fR contains a range of characters that
match \fIregexp\fR, 0 if no match is found, and
\-1 if an error occurs.
In the case of an error, \fBTcl_RegExpExec\fR leaves an error
message in the interpreter result.
When searching a string for multiple matches of a pattern,
it is important to distinguish between the start of the original
string and the start of the current search.
For example, when searching for the second occurrence of a
match, the \fIstring\fR argument might point to the character
just after the first match;  however, it is important for the
pattern matcher to know that this is not the start of the entire string,
so that it doesn't allow \fB^\fR atoms in the pattern to match.
The \fIstart\fR argument provides this information by pointing
to the start of the overall string containing \fIstring\fR.
\fIStart\fR will be less than or equal to \fIstring\fR;  if it
is less than \fIstring\fR then no \fB^\fR matches will be allowed.
.PP
\fBTcl_RegExpRange\fR may be invoked after \fBTcl_RegExpExec\fR
returns;  it provides detailed information about what ranges of
the string matched what parts of the pattern.
\fBTcl_RegExpRange\fR returns a pair of pointers in \fI*startPtr\fR
and \fI*endPtr\fR that identify a range of characters in
the source string for the most recent call to \fBTcl_RegExpExec\fR.

\fIStart\fR will be less than or equal to \fItext\fR;  if it
is less than \fItext\fR then no \fB^\fR matches will be allowed.
.PP
\fBTcl_RegExpRange\fR may be invoked after \fBTcl_RegExpExec\fR
returns;  it provides detailed information about what ranges of
the string matched what parts of the pattern.
\fBTcl_RegExpRange\fR returns a pair of pointers in \fI*startPtr\fR
and \fI*endPtr\fR that identify a range of characters in
the source string for the most recent call to \fBTcl_RegExpExec\fR.

.SH ARGUMENTS
.AS Tcl_Channel chan
.AP Tcl_Channel chan in
Refers to the Tcl channel whose bypass area is accessed.
.AP Tcl_Interp* interp in
Refers to the Tcl interpreter whose bypass area is accessed.
.AP Tcl_Obj* msg in
Error message put into a bypass area.  A list of return options and
values, followed by a string message.  Both message and the
option/value information are optional.
.AP Tcl_Obj** msgPtr out
Reference to a place where the message stored in the accessed bypass
area can be stored in.
.BE
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The current definition of a Tcl channel driver does not permit the
direct return of arbitrary error messages, except for the setting and
retrieval of channel options. All other functions are restricted to
POSIX error codes.
.PP
The functions described here overcome this limitation. Channel drivers
are allowed to use \fBTcl_SetChannelError\fR and
\fBTcl_SetChannelErrorInterp\fR to place arbitrary error messages in
\fBbypass areas\fI defined for channels and interpreters. And the
generic I/O layer uses \fBTcl_GetChannelError\fR and
\fBTcl_GetChannelErrorInterp\fR to look for messages in the bypass
areas and arrange for their return as errors. The posix error codes
set by a driver are used now if and only if no messages are present.
.PP
\fBTcl_SetChannelError\fR stores error information in the bypass area
of the specified channel. The number of references to the \fBmsg\fI
object goes up by one. Previously stored information will be
discarded, by releasing the reference held by the channel. The channel
reference must not be NULL.
.PP
\fBTcl_SetChannelErrorInterp\fR stores error information in the bypass
area of the specified interpreter. The number of references to the
\fBmsg\fI object goes up by one. Previously stored information will be
discarded, by releasing the reference held by the interpreter. The
interpreter reference must not be NULL.
.PP
\fBTcl_GetChannelError\fR places either the error message held in the
bypass area of the specified channel into \fImsgPtr\fR, or NULL; and
resets the bypass. I.e. after an invokation all following invokations
will return NULL, until an intervening invokation of
\fBTcl_SetChannelError\fR with a non-NULL message. The \fImsgPtr\fR
must not be NULL. The reference count of the message is not touched.
The reference previously held by the channel is now held by the caller
of the function and it is its responsibility to release that reference
when it is done with the object.
.PP
\fBTcl_GetChannelErrorInterp\fR places either the error message held
in the bypass area of the specified interpreter into \fImsgPtr\fR, or
NULL; and resets the bypass. I.e. after an invokation all following
invokations will return NULL, until an intervening invokation of
\fBTcl_SetChannelErrorInterp\fR with a non-NULL message. The
\fImsgPtr\fR must not be NULL. The reference count of the message is
not touched.  The reference previously held by the interpreter is now
held by the caller of the function and it is its responsibility to
release that reference when it is done with the object.
.PP
Which functions of a channel driver are allowed to use which bypass
function is listed below, as is which functions of the public channel
API may leave a messages in the bypass areas.
.PP
.IP \fBTcl_DriverCloseProc\fR
May use \fBTcl_SetChannelErrorInterp\fR, and only this function.
.IP \fBTcl_DriverInputProc\fR
May use \fBTcl_SetChannelError\fR, and only this function.
.IP \fBTcl_DriverOutputProc\fR
May use \fBTcl_SetChannelError\fR, and only this function.
.IP \fBTcl_DriverSeekProc\fR
May use \fBTcl_SetChannelError\fR, and only this function.
.IP \fBTcl_DriverWideSeekProc
May use \fBTcl_SetChannelError\fR, and only this function.
.IP \fBTcl_DriverSetOptionProc\fR
Has already the ability to pass arbitrary error messages. Must
\fBnot\fR use any of the new functions.
.IP \fBTcl_DriverGetOptionProc\fR
Has already the ability to pass arbitrary error messages. Must
\fBnot\fR use any of the new functions.
.IP \fBTcl_DriverWatchProc\fR
Must \fBnot\fR use any of the new functions. Is internally called and
has no ability to return any type of error whatsoever.
.IP \fBTcl_DriverBlockModeProc\fR
May use \fBTcl_SetChannelError\fR, and only this function.
.IP \fBTcl_DriverGetHandleProc\fR
Must \fBnot\fR use any of the new functions. It is only a low-level
function, and not used by Tcl commands.
.IP \fBTcl_DriverHandlerProc\fR
Must \fBnot\fR use any of the new functions. Is internally called and
has no ability to return any type of error whatsoever.
.PP
Given the information above the following public functions of the Tcl
C API are affected by these changes. I.e. when these functions are
called the channel may now contain a stored arbitrary error message
requiring processing by the caller.
.PP
.IP \fBTcl_StackChannel\fR
.IP \fBTcl_Seek\fR

.IP \fBTcl_WriteRaw\fR
.IP \fBTcl_WriteObj\fR

All other API functions are unchanged. Especially the functions below
leave all their error information in the interpreter result.

\fBTcl_GetObjResult\fR returns the result for \fIinterp\fR as an object.
The object's reference count is not incremented;
if the caller needs to retain a long-term pointer to the object
they should use \fBTcl_IncrRefCount\fR to increment its reference count
in order to keep it from being freed too early or accidentally changed.
.PP
\fBTcl_SetResult\fR
arranges for \fIstring\fR to be the result for the current Tcl
command in \fIinterp\fR, replacing any existing result.
The \fIfreeProc\fR argument specifies how to manage the storage
for the \fIstring\fR argument;
it is discussed in the section
\fBTHE TCL_FREEPROC ARGUMENT TO TCL_SETRESULT\fR below.
If \fIstring\fR is \fBNULL\fR, then \fIfreeProc\fR is ignored
and \fBTcl_SetResult\fR
re-initializes \fIinterp\fR's result to point to an empty string.
.PP
\fBTcl_GetStringResult\fR returns the result for \fIinterp\fR as an string.
If the result was set to an object by a \fBTcl_SetObjResult\fR call,
the object form will be converted to a string and returned.
If the object's string representation contains null bytes,
this conversion will lose information.
For this reason, programmers are encouraged to
write their code to use the new object API procedures
and to call \fBTcl_GetObjResult\fR instead.
.PP
\fBTcl_ResetResult\fR clears the result for \fIinterp\fR
and leaves the result in its normal empty initialized state.
If the result is an object,
its reference count is decremented and the result is left
pointing to an unshared object representing an empty string.
If the result is a dynamically allocated string, its memory is free*d
and the result is left as a empty string.
\fBTcl_ResetResult\fR also clears the error state managed by
\fBTcl_AddErrorInfo\fR, \fBTcl_AddObjErrorInfo\fR,
and \fBTcl_SetErrorCode\fR.
.PP
\fBTcl_AppendResult\fR makes it easy to build up Tcl results in pieces.
It takes each of its \fIstring\fR arguments and appends them in order
to the current result associated with \fIinterp\fR.
If the result is in its initialized empty state (e.g. a command procedure
was just invoked or \fBTcl_ResetResult\fR was just called),
then \fBTcl_AppendResult\fR sets the result to the concatenation of
its \fIstring\fR arguments.
\fBTcl_AppendResult\fR may be called repeatedly as additional pieces
of the result are produced.
\fBTcl_AppendResult\fR takes care of all the
storage management issues associated with managing \fIinterp\fR's
result, such as allocating a larger result area if necessary.
It also manages conversion to and from the \fIresult\fR field of the
\fIinterp\fR so as to handle backward-compatability with old-style
extensions.
Any number of \fIstring\fR arguments may be passed in a single
call; the last argument in the list must be a NULL pointer.
.PP
\fBTcl_AppendResultVA\fR is the same as \fBTcl_AppendResult\fR except that
instead of taking a variable number of arguments it takes an argument list.

.SH "OLD STRING PROCEDURES"
.PP
Use of the following procedures (is deprecated
since they manipulate the Tcl result as a string.
Procedures such as \fBTcl_SetObjResult\fR
that manipulate the result as an object
can be significantly more efficient.
.PP
\fBTcl_AppendElement\fR is similar to \fBTcl_AppendResult\fR in
that it allows results to be built up in pieces.
However, \fBTcl_AppendElement\fR takes only a single \fIstring\fR
argument and it appends that argument to the current result
as a proper Tcl list element.
\fBTcl_AppendElement\fR adds backslashes or braces if necessary
to ensure that \fIinterp\fR's result can be parsed as a list and that
\fIstring\fR will be extracted as a single element.
Under normal conditions, \fBTcl_AppendElement\fR will add a space
character to \fIinterp\fR's result just before adding the new
list element, so that the list elements in the result are properly
separated.
However if the new list element is the first in a list or sub-list
(i.e. \fIinterp\fR's current result is empty, or consists of the
single character ``{'', or ends in the characters `` {'') then no

\fBTcl_SetResult\fR's \fIfreeProc\fR argument specifies how 
the Tcl system is to manage the storage for the \fIstring\fR argument.
If \fBTcl_SetResult\fR or \fBTcl_SetObjResult\fR are called
at a time when \fIinterp\fR holds a string result,
they do whatever is necessary to dispose of the old string result

If \fIfreeProc\fR is \fBTCL_STATIC\fR it means that \fIstring\fR
refers to an area of static storage that is guaranteed not to be

is \fBTCL_DYNAMIC\fR it means that \fIstring\fR was allocated with a call
to \fBTcl_Alloc\fR and is now the property of the Tcl system.
\fBTcl_SetResult\fR will arrange for the string's storage to be
released by calling \fBTcl_Free\fR when it is no longer needed.
If \fIfreeProc\fR is \fBTCL_VOLATILE\fR it means that \fIstring\fR
points to an area of memory that is likely to be overwritten when
\fBTcl_SetResult\fR returns (e.g. it points to something in a stack frame).
In this case \fBTcl_SetResult\fR will make a copy of the string in
dynamically allocated storage and arrange for the copy to be the
result for the current Tcl command.
.PP
If \fIfreeProc\fR isn't one of the values \fBTCL_STATIC\fR,
\fBTCL_DYNAMIC\fR, and \fBTCL_VOLATILE\fR, then it is the address
of a procedure that Tcl should call to free the string.
This allows applications to use non-standard storage allocators.
When Tcl no longer needs the storage for the string, it will
call \fIfreeProc\fR. \fIFreeProc\fR should have arguments and
result that match the type \fBTcl_FreeProc\fR:
.CS
typedef void Tcl_FreeProc(char *\fIblockPtr\fR);
.CE
When \fIfreeProc\fR is called, its \fIblockPtr\fR will be set to
the value of \fIstring\fR passed to \fBTcl_SetResult\fR.
