52: schroedinger:[~/cvs/bench] >
1.99 bertrand 53: - recherche_type() did not convert huge integer in real. Now,
54: 18446744072742037448 is converted into real as value cannot be stored in

60: a real copy. Now, struct_mutex contains locks owner. On Linux or Solaris (for
61: example), it is possible to lock mutex from a thread and unlock the same mutex
62: from another thread. On NetBSD, system crashes.

138: by a new feature in glibc.
139: * Thu Apr 14 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.22 (RPL/2)
140: - by default, RPL/2 uses "NONE" IMPLICIT when it's started in batch mode and
141: "ALL" IMPLICIT when it runs in interactive mode;
142: - when "NONE" IMPLICIT is set, STO intrinsic raises an error when it is used
143: to create or modify a global variable. Now, with "NONE" IMPLICIT, you have
144: to use SAVE to manipulate global variables;
145: - replace erroneous TAB by TBL in evaluation() and formateur_fichier()
146: subroutines;
147: - fix major memory access violation in evaluation subroutine. Only occurs
148: when 'X(i,j)' is evaluated on a matrix and when (i,j) points out of bounds;
149: - fix major bug in evaluation subroutine. 'X(i)' returns execution error
150: when X was a vector or a table.
1.63 bertrand 151: * Sun Apr 04 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.21 (RPL/2)

161: Known escape sequences are \", \b, \n, \t, \x?? and \\.
1.60 bertrand 162: * Sun Mar 06 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.20 (RPL/2)
163: - Ncurses is upgraded to 5.8;
164: - ALARM is fixed by filling isdst field;
165: - catch ECONNRESET in write intrinsic to return an execution error instead of
166: system one;
167: - fix a typo in HELP intrinsic;
168: - Openssl is upgraded to 1.0.0d, sqlite to 3.7.5 and readline to 6.2;
1.57 bertrand 169: - Lapack is upgraded to 3.3.0;
1.58 bertrand 170: - libmtmalloc is now default Solaris allocator;
1.56 bertrand 171: - ncurses is upgraded;
1.60 bertrand 172: - regression introduced by 4.0.19 is fixed in signal management.
1.59 bertrand 173: Interruption1() could be called from itself and raises bus error (on sparc) or
1.55 bertrand 174: segmentation fault;
175: - sqlite is upgraded to 3.7.4;
1.54 bertrand 176: - OpenSSL is upgraded to 1.0.0c;

1.53 bertrand 179: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.4.2 due to major bugs.
1.52 bertrand 180: * Thu Sep 23 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.19 (RPL/2)
181: - due to a very strange bug I've only seen on Solaris, ptmalloc3 is removed.
182: Solaris libresolv randomly uses ptmalloc3 and system allocator and makes heap
183: corruption. As internal memory management have been improved, a best fit
184: allocator like ptmalloc3 is not required anymore;
1.50 bertrand 185: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.4.1;
186: - deadlock is fixed in signal handlers: same mutex was used in standard
187: subroutines (without protected sections by sigprocmask() or pthread_sigmask())
188: and signal handlers. A new signal handler specific mutex is added;
189: - minor bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. In { X 0 PI }, PI is a function
190: that has to be evaluated by ->NUM;
1.49 bertrand 191: - rplfile build process is modify to be sure that rplfile is not modified
192: after rpl build stage (to be sure that rplfile checksum is not modified after
193: rpl compilation);
1.51 bertrand 194: - AWK is replaced by rplawk. rplawk is original awk written by Brian Kernighan,
195: modified to remove yacc code and renamed;
1.47 bertrand 196: - some workarounds have been written to not use buggy klibc SystemV IPCS.
197: ABORT now works on eComStation;
198: - sqlite is upgraded to 3.7.2;
199: - bug is fixed in software interrupts. When both process have different PID,
200: parent process was not interrupted if it is not group master process. To fix
201: this bug, SIGINJECT signal is not sent by child process but by control thread
202: in parent process;
1.46 bertrand 203: - minor bug is fixed in data injection (POKE) that does not work as expected
204: when child process is protected by NRPROC.
1.44 bertrand 205: * Thu Aug 26 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.18 (RPL/2)
1.43 bertrand 206: - --enable-sysv-sems is added to configure script to use SystemV semaphores
207: functions instead of POSIX functions. This function is disabled or forced on
208: systems that does not provide correct POSIX or SysV semaphores subsystem;
209: - a dirty but not quick patch is written to workaround broken siginfo
210: structures. This patch has been successfully tested. It uses a segment of
1.50 bertrand 211: shared memory (Posix or SysV) and some semaphores (Posix or SysV) by process
1.43 bertrand 212: (Unix PID);
1.41 bertrand 213: - some OpenBSD's hacks are added;
214: - broken siginfo->si_pid field is now checked by configure script;
1.40 bertrand 215: - SWI now sends SIGCONT to interrupted process to start interrupt without delay;
216: - random generator is cloned by SPAWN;
217: - in transliteration subroutine : '\r' is added after all '\n' in OS/2 port;
1.39 bertrand 218: - getaddrinfo is hardcoded when host system does not provide getaddrinfo
1.40 bertrand 219: or freeaddrinfo;
1.39 bertrand 220: - RPL/2 can now use SystemV semaphores when POSIX semaphores are unavailable;
221: - major bug is fixed in CHR intrinsic when obtained character is not printable;
222: - Lapack is upgraded to 3.2.2;
1.37 bertrand 223: - OS/2 (eComStation 2.0 with EMX 0.9d) support is added;
1.36 bertrand 224: - TOKENIZE is now able to convert escape sequences;
225: - ATPOKE and CLRATPOKE new intrinsics are added;
226: - --enable-full-static configure flag is added. With this flag, mysql and
227: postgresql libraries are statically linked in rpl executable;
228: - units Makefile is modified to avoid readline and ncurses usages;
1.37 bertrand 229: - sqlite is upgraded to 3.7.0.1;
1.36 bertrand 230: - units is upgraded to 1.88;
231: - another major bug is fixed in the same variable creation subroutine.
232: Level 0 and 1 variables adresses were swapped when a global variable masked
233: a name of RPL/2 routine;
1.35 bertrand 234: - major bug is fixed in global variable creation subroutine. When a global
235: variable was created and when a local variable existed with the same name,
236: computed address of global variable was wrong;
237: - src/Makefile.am is modified to avoid a bug on several systems. libptmalloc3
238: is forced in front of all libraries.
1.34 bertrand 239: * Tue Jul 13 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.17 (RPL/2)
240: - BACKTRACE intrinsic is added;
241: - major bug is fixed in SELECT/DEFAULT/END conditional structure. Only occurs
242: when this structure is included in IFERR/THEN/END structure and when an error is
243: caught;
244: - major bug is fixed in analyse() subroutine. When evaluation() returned error
245: in a compiled program, analyse() caught this error twice and randomly aborted
246: with a segmentation error;
247: - TRIM and TOKENIZE replace both '\n' and '\t' by regular spaces;
248: - ATEXIT subroutine begins with an implicit CSTOP to avoid multiple stop
249: signals;
250: - memory leak is fixed in ROW+. It only occurs when a row is added to an empty
251: matrix.
1.33 bertrand 252: * Thu Jun 24 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.16 (RPL/2)
253: - minor bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. With this patch, same program
254: returns same result with or without -p flag;
255: - ncurses 5.7 is upgraded to 20100619;
256: - openssl is upgraded to 1.0.0a;
1.32 bertrand 257: - interrupt stacks are now FIFO instead of LIFO;
258: - debug memory allocation subroutines are improved to run in multithreaded
259: programs;
260: - some memory leaks are fixed in process management (SPAWN and DETACH);
261: - version verification is added to shared objects;
262: - -D_GNU_SOURCE is added to ptmalloc3 makefile to avoid a major bug on 64 bits
263: linux (false mremap() prototype);
264: - major bug is fixed in rpliconv. getc() returns an int, not a unsigned char.
1.30 bertrand 265: * Sun May 23 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.15 (RPL/2)

268: - major bug is fixed in IFERR structure. Only occurs in compiled program;
269: - major bug is fixed in copie_objet() and liberation(). Only concerns
270: format in FCH (file descriptor) and SCK (socket descriptor);
271: - debug routines are improved;
272: - PROCID is added;
273: - MEMLOCK and MEMUNLOCK are added. MEMLOCK forces a process to remain in memory
274: and to not use swap;
1.26 bertrand 275: - major bug is fixed in sql support. SQL connections were closed in all chield
276: process;
277: - standard allocator (malloc()/free()) is replaced by ptmalloc3 due to some bugs
278: discovered in Solaris thread safe allocators (libmalloc and libumem) that
279: are first fit class allocators. Solaris libmtmalloc works better and is
280: a best fit class allocator but its performance is poor than ptmalloc3
281: performance;
1.24 bertrand 282: - major bug is fixed in ROW+ intrinsic (new row was not added where it
283: should);
284: - minor bugs are fixed in interruptions.c (semaphores values when error is
285: caught);
286: - major bug is fixed in STOP intrinsic. STOP was unable to stop any process
287: created by SPAWN;
288: - SIGFABORT is added. When process receives SIGFSTOP, it tries to execute
289: ATEXIT. If it receives SIGFABORT, it does not;
1.23 bertrand 290: - ONEXIT is renamed in ATEXIT;
291: - ONEXIT new intrinsic is added.
1.20 bertrand 292: * Wed Apr 21 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.14 (RPL/2)
293: - major bug is fixed in static and shared variables initialization subroutine.
294: This bug only occurs when RPL/2 tries to create a shared or static variable
295: from an expression;
296: - major bug is fixed in copie_etat_processus(). A field that contains
297: information about shared variable was not copied to new processus structure;
1.19 bertrand 298: - some little memory leaks are fixed in evaluation(), recherche_type() and
299: sequenceur(). They only occured when syntax error were caught;
300: - IMPLICIT causes execution error instead system error;
301: - Hurd support is improved but currently broken because Hurd does not support
302: SIG_INFO. Work in progress;
303: - OpenBSD specific support is removed from sources;
304: - support for Mac OS X and Windows/Cygwin is added.
1.17 bertrand 305: * Wed Apr 07 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.13 (RPL/2)

1.12 bertrand 356: - RPL/2 tools (rpliconv, rplfile, rplpp and rplconvert) are now checked before
357: each execution (md5 and sha1 sums) to enhance security. If one of these tools
358: have been modified between RPL/2 compilation and current execution, RPL/2 aborts
359: on a non recoverable system error;
360: - openssl and sqlite3 libraries are added;
361: - RPL_HOME env variable is added. When RPL/2 is called from librpl, this
362: variable indicates RPL/2 root directory. If it is not set, root path
363: is given by configure script (d_exec_path);
1.11 bertrand 364: * Thu Mar 03 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.11 (RPL/2)

389: Number of scalar operations per second and per core : 2383016
390:
391: - PULPRFL does not abort on BUG() but on execution error;
392: - TRIM, REPL and TOKENIZE are added;
393: - sockets options are now set before bind();
394: - shutdown() is added to all connected sockets;
395: - minor bug is fixed in SUB intrinsic (segfault when SUB is called with
396: list argument and inexistant elements).
397: * Fri Jan 08 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.8 (RPL/2)
398: - minor bug is fixed in DAEMON intrinsic. When a program was daemonized, all
399: signals sent to main process were not caught because DAEMON did not replace
400: old pid by new one;
401: - major bug is fixed in IFERR/THEN/ELSE/END. Only occurs in expression
402: evaluation when an error is reported from a subroutine in another subroutine.
403: For example, error was not caught in following program when it is executed with
404: -p option :
405: TEST << iferr TEST2 then end >>
406: TEST2 << 0 inv >>
407: - major bug is fixed in variable management. Some local variables were
408: seen as global ones;
409: - major bug is fixed in rplcore. Rplcore entered in dead lock when
410: script file contains a multibyte character;
411: - IN intrinsic is added;
412: - major bug is fixed in SAME intrinsic : << 1 >> DUP SAME and 'E' DUP SAME
413: returned false ;
414: - major bug is fixed in RETURN intrinsic. It only occurs in compiled
415: programs;
416: - major bug is fixed in NEG intrinsic. NEG did not make a copy of its arguments;
417: - regression is fixed in compilation(). "\\" was analysed as '"' '\' '\"' and
418: strings were never closed;
419: - some bugs have been fixed in file management;
420: - RPL/2 can now be run on EBCDIC systems (OS/390);
421: - major bug is fixed in -A command line option (NULL character is missing);
422: - minor bug is fixed in rpliconv and RECODE intrinsic. All transliterations are
423: made by blocks (1024 bytes). When an incomplete multibyte sequence is
424: encountered at end of block, subroutine aborts with an execution error;
425: - major bug is fixed in OPEN (TCP/IPv4 sockets).
426: * Mon Nov 30 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.7 (RPL/2)
427: - DISP now locks stdout;
428: - rpliconv is added to replace standard iconv provided by operating system.
429: Indeed, conversion between different encodages requires transliteration
430: that is not offered by some iconv utility;
431: - CURRENC and RECODE intrinsics have been written to allow strings conversions;
432: - bug is fixed in SYSEVAL. When execvp() returns (for example when arg[0] can
433: not be found), SYSEVAL enters in a dead lock;
434: - fprintf is replaced by some functions that allow transliterations between
435: locales;
436: - '"' can now be used in strings ("\"");
437: - iconv is called with -c in preprocessor stage. It is done to write
438: CGI scripts with RPL/2 because locale charset is set to ANSI_X3.4-1968;
439: - double free is fixed in liberation() (type SQL, only occurs when locale is
440: set);
441: - LOCALIZATION, UCASE and LCASE are added;
442: - major bug is fixed in EXIT intrinsic that was able to return a false
443: execution error in compiled scripts (only in DO/UNTIL and REPEAT/WHILE loops);
444: - major bug is fixed in wrapper_instruction_intrinseque(). When intrinsic() was
445: used in onLoading from shared library, USE was pushed on stack as algebraic
446: expression;
447: - libiconv is upgraded to 1.13.1;
448: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.2.6;
449: - gsl is upgraded to 1.13.
450: * Mon Sep 28 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.6 (RPL/2)
451: - pipe() is overwritten by a macro to avoid a system error. Communication
452: between process are done with pipes and these pipes are managed by a
453: specific asynchrone thread. If a script try to create more threads than
454: management thread can destroy, you can quickly achieve maximum number of
455: opened files and pipe() shall return a system error. This macro tries to create
456: pipes. If pipe() function returns an error, macro waits and retries. If
457: number of retries is greater than a hardcoded value, macro returns an error;
458: - major bug (deadlock) is fixed in process and thread management. I hope
459: this bug shall be the last one;
460: - major bug is fixed in DET intrinsic (determinant was computed without LU
461: diagonalization);
462: - SWAPCNTXT is added;
463: - minor bug is fixed in Makefile.am (licences rule).
464: * Wed Sep 09 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.5 (RPL/2)
465: - some bugfixes are added in process management;
466: - all process management is rewritten to avoid usage of defunct process
467: or thread number;
468: - new major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. Sometimes, when retrait_thread()
469: was called before a pending interruption5 (SIGFSTOP), signal handler uses
470: a freed semaphore and corrupts heap;
471: - CLRERR is added to erase previous errors;
472: - ERRN and ERRM return exception message and number;
473: - major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. All signal are now bufferised
474: when semaphore_liste_threads is null to avoid deadlock. This bug only
475: occured when STOP was sent to a dying thread or process (when this thread or
476: process was running retrait_thread());
477: - matrix rank is computed before matrix inversion;
478: - file locks are added to stdin and stdout. stderr is not locked because
479: all messages written by signal handlers are sent to stderr;
480: - configure.in script is modified to test gcc version and avoid a bug in
481: gcc older than 4.4;
482: - some benchmarks have been done :

554: SIGFSTP (with a nullified siginfo structure) instead of SIGHUP when control
555: process is killed;
556: - abs() macro is modified to avoid multiple evaluation. Your C compiler has to
557: know typeof() intrinsic function. This function is not standard but exists
558: under Sun Studio, gcc, and maybe some others compilers. If this function does

601: static variable that is shared by multiple threads;
602: - '->' intrinsic is improved. All object copies have been avoided;
603: - -n flag is added to catch HUP signal. stderr and stdout are redirected
604: to a file, stdin is redirected to /dev/null when control process is killed;
605: - a mutex is added to each object (before this modification,
606: RPL/2 used a global mutex and performances in multithreaded programs were very
607: poor.);

622: that all programs that worked with old SQL intrinsic can now work with
623: SQLQUERY. With all new programs, you can open a real connection to databases;
624: - NRPROC is added. This new intrinsic is used to catch error from child
625: process. Without NRPROC, any errors returned by child process cause
626: main process to abort;
627: - SPAWN is added. This new intrinsic is used to launch a new thread (DETACH
628: starts a new process). There are no mutexes in RPL/2 because all spawned process
629: use specific context. Nevertheless, shared variables and associated mutexes
630: should be added;

779: - -p option is added. With this option, all scripts are compiled before
780: RPL/2 starts evaluation. HALT cannot be used with -p, but all programs run
781: 40% faster;
782: - read and write operations in pipe() are rewritten to be sure that such
783: operations are atomic;
784: - minor bug is fixed in LOGSCALE. With {} LOGSCALE, all scales have to be

978: With STATIC, next variables created by '->' are static;
979: - PROTECT and UNPROTECT are added to protect variables against write
980: or purge actions. New PARAMETER and VARIABLE intrinsics are modified
981: versions of PROTECT and UNPROTECT that only deal with global variables
982: (see RCL/SAVE);
983: - variable management routines have been rewritten. The new ones are
984: uncompatible with the old ones. Before these changes, a local variable
985: was exported to a child subroutine, but cannot be modified into this
986: child subroutine. Now, a local variable is accessible only in its subroutine;
987: - SAVE intrinsic is added to manipulate global variables;

1308: fine...);
1309: - NOT is not correctly formatted in formateur.c:
1310: Z NOT -> 'NOT Z' but 'A+Z' NOT -> 'NOT A+Z' and 'NOT Z+A' -> 'NOTZ+A'
1311: with a NOTZ function !
1312: * Sun Aug 10 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre7c (RPL/2)
1313: - CYCLE is fixed. Now, it is possible to use CYCLE in an expression even

1315: - RPL/2 is tested with efence and valgrind;
1316: - configure.in script is modified;
1317: - units.c is modified to be built by gcc-3.3. I only have removed a #if 0/#endif
1318: structure. I don't know why this code was compiled by gcc-3.3... Maybe

1378: appear on the same figure). The same mistake is fixed in DRWS intrinsic;
1379: - LAST is disabled in evaluation subroutine (EVAL and ->NUM intrinsics).
1380: * Sun May 18 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6j (RPL/2)

1397: - SCLS is added;
1398: - DRWS now uses COLS to draw 2D graphics;
1399: - PPAR and SPAR are written. SPAR returns a list that contains the
1400: size of the statistical matrix (or "UNAVALAIBLE" if there is any
1401: statistical variable, or "DISABLED" if its type is not one of the type of
1402: a statistical matrix.) and XCOL and YCOL parameters. Warning: [[]] SIZE
1403: returns { 1 0 } and it is not a bug, because a null matrix contains _one_
1404: null line ! Thus, [[]] STOS SPAR returns { { 1 0 } 1 2 };
1405: - EXTERNAL intrinsic is added. Warning: by default, extern functions are
1406: disabled. Arguments of EXTERNAL are case sensitive because the external
1407: interface is written in C. { ext_sinus } EXTERNAL does not replace the list
1408: of known external functions but add the new list to the last. { "all" }
1409: EXTERNAL allows all external functions and { "none" } EXTERNAL removes all
1410: external names of the known functions;
1411: - mkrplso.in is modified.
1412: * Sun Apr 20 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6h (RPL/2)
1413: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
1414: - a minor mistake is fixed in recherche_instruction_suivante();

1425: - a very minor bug is fixed in VISIT intrinsic. It only occurs when
1426: VISIT does not find a name in level 1;
1427: - configure.in script is modified to add a new test (--enable-debug
1428: flag). Configured with this fleg, RPL/2 will be built with electric-fences;
1429: - GETR (get row[s]) and GETC (get column[s]) are added. These new instructions
1430: extract a part of a matrix. Syntax: [[ 1 2 3 ][ 2 3 4 ]] { 1 } GETR or
1431: 'MATRIX' { 2 2 3 } GETR;
1432: - LOGSCALE intrinsic is improved and now, it can be used as
1433: { "main" "auxiliary" X Y } LOGSCALE;
1434: - SCALE intrinsic is used to fix the limits of a graphic. Its syntax is the
1435: same than AXES:
1436: { { 60 "ticsonly" 2 } { "automatic" "ticsonly" 10 } } axes
1437: { "auxiliary" { 60 "ticsonly" "default" } { "automatic" } } axes
1438: { { -10 10 } "automatic" } SCALE.
1439: Warning, it is not possible to ask a logarithmic scale with this intrinsic
1440: because it changes only the dimension of the screen. To have a logarithmic
1441: scale, you must use LOGSCALE intrinsic:
1442: { X } LOGSCALE gives a semi-log screen, { "auxiliary" X Y } gives a log-log
1443: screen on second scale;
1444: - { X X } autoscale and { Y Y } logscale are now invalid;
1445: - *D is added (depth multiplication, for 3D graphics);
1446: - a new intrinsic (*S) is added. It changes the scale of a graphic (X, Y
1447: and Z axes). The result of *S is the same than DUP DUP *H *W *D;
1448: - a major bug is fixed in GETI instrinsic when it is used with a name
1449: that contains a matrix or a vector (bad upper bounds conditions in
1450: incrementation);
1451: - DISP intrinsic now uses the 33-th flag. When it is not set
1452: (default), a final carriage return is sent to the terminal;
1453: - AXES intrinsic only takes a list that can contains the keywork
1454: "main" or "auxiliary". Before this modification, this keyword was in
1455: the first stack level;
1456: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
1457: - in appel_gnuplot(), stdin is closed when gnuplot is called with -raise
1458: option;
1459: - LAST is now disabled in the main loop of INT intrinsic;
1460: - expm1 and lnp1 are rewritten to use expm1 and log1p from math.h.
1461: * Sun Apr 6 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6f (RPL/2)
1462: - a major bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. It occurs with DRAW
1463: intrinsic when the equation cannot be evaluated (for example 'SIN(X)/X'
1464: in 0);
1465: - LAST is disabled in the main loop of DRAW intrinsic;
1466: - a major bug is fixed in DRAW intrinsic. When an error occurs in the
1467: evaluation of an equation, the system stack is returned corrupted to the
1468: sequencer;
1469: - the same minor bug is fixed in FOR and START. It only occurs when the limits
1470: of a loop are not integer or real.
1471: * Sun Mar 31 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6e (RPL/2)
1472: - the compilation stage aborts with an error message when two definitions
1473: have the same name. To improve the compilation() subroutine, I have to
