35: internal value was good but RPL/2 was not able to correctly display
36: this value. This bug comes from ABS as ABS(INT64_MIN) cannot be represented

249: by a new feature in glibc.
250: * Thu Apr 14 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.22 (RPL/2)
251: - by default, RPL/2 uses "NONE" IMPLICIT when it's started in batch mode and
252: "ALL" IMPLICIT when it runs in interactive mode;
253: - when "NONE" IMPLICIT is set, STO intrinsic raises an error when it is used
254: to create or modify a global variable. Now, with "NONE" IMPLICIT, you have
255: to use SAVE to manipulate global variables;
256: - replace erroneous TAB by TBL in evaluation() and formateur_fichier()
257: subroutines;
258: - fix major memory access violation in evaluation subroutine. Only occurs
259: when 'X(i,j)' is evaluated on a matrix and when (i,j) points out of bounds;
260: - fix major bug in evaluation subroutine. 'X(i)' returns execution error
261: when X was a vector or a table.

1.52 bertrand 291: * Thu Sep 23 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.19 (RPL/2)
292: - due to a very strange bug I've only seen on Solaris, ptmalloc3 is removed.
293: Solaris libresolv randomly uses ptmalloc3 and system allocator and makes heap
294: corruption. As internal memory management have been improved, a best fit
295: allocator like ptmalloc3 is not required anymore;
1.50 bertrand 296: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.4.1;
297: - deadlock is fixed in signal handlers: same mutex was used in standard
298: subroutines (without protected sections by sigprocmask() or pthread_sigmask())
299: and signal handlers. A new signal handler specific mutex is added;
300: - minor bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. In { X 0 PI }, PI is a function
301: that has to be evaluated by ->NUM;
1.49 bertrand 302: - rplfile build process is modify to be sure that rplfile is not modified
303: after rpl build stage (to be sure that rplfile checksum is not modified after
304: rpl compilation);

308: ABORT now works on eComStation;
309: - sqlite is upgraded to 3.7.2;
310: - bug is fixed in software interrupts. When both process have different PID,
311: parent process was not interrupted if it is not group master process. To fix
312: this bug, SIGINJECT signal is not sent by child process but by control thread
313: in parent process;
1.46 bertrand 314: - minor bug is fixed in data injection (POKE) that does not work as expected
315: when child process is protected by NRPROC.

1.43 bertrand 317: - --enable-sysv-sems is added to configure script to use SystemV semaphores
318: functions instead of POSIX functions. This function is disabled or forced on
319: systems that does not provide correct POSIX or SysV semaphores subsystem;
320: - a dirty but not quick patch is written to workaround broken siginfo
321: structures. This patch has been successfully tested. It uses a segment of
1.50 bertrand 322: shared memory (Posix or SysV) and some semaphores (Posix or SysV) by process
1.43 bertrand 323: (Unix PID);
1.41 bertrand 324: - some OpenBSD's hacks are added;
325: - broken siginfo->si_pid field is now checked by configure script;
1.40 bertrand 326: - SWI now sends SIGCONT to interrupted process to start interrupt without delay;

508: * Fri Jan 08 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.8 (RPL/2)
509: - minor bug is fixed in DAEMON intrinsic. When a program was daemonized, all
510: signals sent to main process were not caught because DAEMON did not replace
511: old pid by new one;
512: - major bug is fixed in IFERR/THEN/ELSE/END. Only occurs in expression
513: evaluation when an error is reported from a subroutine in another subroutine.
514: For example, error was not caught in following program when it is executed with
515: -p option :
516: TEST << iferr TEST2 then end >>
517: TEST2 << 0 inv >>
518: - major bug is fixed in variable management. Some local variables were
519: seen as global ones;

521: script file contains a multibyte character;
522: - IN intrinsic is added;
523: - major bug is fixed in SAME intrinsic : << 1 >> DUP SAME and 'E' DUP SAME
524: returned false ;
525: - major bug is fixed in RETURN intrinsic. It only occurs in compiled
526: programs;
527: - major bug is fixed in NEG intrinsic. NEG did not make a copy of its arguments;
528: - regression is fixed in compilation(). "\\" was analysed as '"' '\' '\"' and

545: - fprintf is replaced by some functions that allow transliterations between
546: locales;
547: - '"' can now be used in strings ("\"");
548: - iconv is called with -c in preprocessor stage. It is done to write

562: - pipe() is overwritten by a macro to avoid a system error. Communication
563: between process are done with pipes and these pipes are managed by a
564: specific asynchrone thread. If a script try to create more threads than
565: management thread can destroy, you can quickly achieve maximum number of
566: opened files and pipe() shall return a system error. This macro tries to create
567: pipes. If pipe() function returns an error, macro waits and retries. If
568: number of retries is greater than a hardcoded value, macro returns an error;
569: - major bug (deadlock) is fixed in process and thread management. I hope
570: this bug shall be the last one;

580: was called before a pending interruption5 (SIGFSTOP), signal handler uses
581: a freed semaphore and corrupts heap;
582: - CLRERR is added to erase previous errors;
583: - ERRN and ERRM return exception message and number;
584: - major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. All signal are now bufferised
585: when semaphore_liste_threads is null to avoid deadlock. This bug only
586: occured when STOP was sent to a dying thread or process (when this thread or
587: process was running retrait_thread());
588: - matrix rank is computed before matrix inversion;
589: - file locks are added to stdin and stdout. stderr is not locked because

709: - YIELD intrinsic is added;
710: - ERRM is fixed. In some cases, ERRM uses some uninitialized pointers;
711: - SHARED and PRIVATE intrinsics have been added. A shared variable is a
712: static variable that is shared by multiple threads;
713: - '->' intrinsic is improved. All object copies have been avoided;
714: - -n flag is added to catch HUP signal. stderr and stdout are redirected
715: to a file, stdin is redirected to /dev/null when control process is killed;
716: - a mutex is added to each object (before this modification,
717: RPL/2 used a global mutex and performances in multithreaded programs were very
718: poor.);
719: - ALARM is now interruptible;
720: - both PUT and PUTI intrinsics are improved and do not copy list and table
721: when nombre_occurrences == 1;

733: that all programs that worked with old SQL intrinsic can now work with
734: SQLQUERY. With all new programs, you can open a real connection to databases;
735: - NRPROC is added. This new intrinsic is used to catch error from child
736: process. Without NRPROC, any errors returned by child process cause
737: main process to abort;
738: - SPAWN is added. This new intrinsic is used to launch a new thread (DETACH
739: starts a new process). There are no mutexes in RPL/2 because all spawned process
740: use specific context. Nevertheless, shared variables and associated mutexes
741: should be added;
742: - -D flag and DAEMONIZE intrinsic have been added;
743: - REPEAT, THEN, ELSE and ELSEIF intrinsics are rewritten to be more efficient;

882: - as old file program was bugged, a new option is added to configure script.
883: When configure is called with --disable-encoding-autodetection, make does not
884: try to detect source encoding. Please, do not use if RPL/2 can be built
885: without this option !
886: - new garbage collector (and more efficient) is written;
887: - configure script is modified to be usable on NetBSD 4.0, but as NetBSD does
888: not support real time signals, RPL/2 cannot use multitasking functions;

890: - -p option is added. With this option, all scripts are compiled before
891: RPL/2 starts evaluation. HALT cannot be used with -p, but all programs run
892: 40% faster;
893: - read and write operations in pipe() are rewritten to be sure that such
894: operations are atomic;
895: - minor bug is fixed in LOGSCALE. With {} LOGSCALE, all scales have to be

1035: - HELP function is rewritten to be more friendly (a la OpenVMS);
1036: - external wrapper (rplplot) is written to force usage of gnuplot provided
1037: by RPL/2 if it is built during build process. If this build does not exist,
1038: it tries to launch regular gnuplot;
1039: - gnuplot is added to source tree to avoid some trouble between preinstalled
1040: gnuplot and release used by RPL/2. This addition to source tree is
1041: required by some incompatibility between gnuplot releases;
1042: - Lapack is upgraded to 3.1.1 release;
1043: - GSL is upgraded to 1.9 revision;
1044: - RPL_TMP_PATH env variable is added to specify the path of tempfiles. If

1047: not writable;
1048: - major regression is fixed in SYSEVAL intrinsic due to introduction of
1049: error scrutation.

1061: introduced by multitasking code;
1062: - SORT can now use name as its argument.
1063: * Sun Jan 21 2007 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre8t (RPL/2)
1064: - Variable management has been rewritten and some tests have been done. Now,
1065: it is possible to execute:

1078:
1079: VAR_S2
1080: <<
1081: static 3 -> C << C disp 'C' decr >>
1082: >>
1083:
1084: - configure.in script is added in lapack subtree;
1085: - VARS is modified to display variables status (LOCKED/UNLOCKED and
1086: STATIC/VOLATILE/PARAMETER/VARIABLE);
1087: - STATIC and VOLATILE intrinsics are added to specify static variables. A
1088: static variable can be transformed into volatile with VOLATILE.
1089: With STATIC, next variables created by '->' are static;
1090: - PROTECT and UNPROTECT are added to protect variables against write
1091: or purge actions. New PARAMETER and VARIABLE intrinsics are modified
1092: versions of PROTECT and UNPROTECT that only deal with global variables
1093: (see RCL/SAVE);
1094: - variable management routines have been rewritten. The new ones are
1095: uncompatible with the old ones. Before these changes, a local variable
1096: was exported to a child subroutine, but cannot be modified into this
1097: child subroutine. Now, a local variable is accessible only in its subroutine;

1475: * Sun Jun 1 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6k (RPL/2)
1476: - SLICESCALE intrinsic is added. Its syntax is
1477: { "automatic" nb_of_levels }
1478: { "discrete" l1 l2 l3 ... }
1479: { "incremental" start incr }
1480: { "incremental" start incr end }
1481: { "automatic" } (default);
1482: - a minor bug (in last stack) is fixed in AXES intrinsic
1483: - flag 52 is used to automatically update graphics;
1484: - man pages are updated;
1485: - evaluation() is modified to perform evaluation of expressions that contain
1486: '=';
1487: - a minor bug is fixed in AXES intrinsic;
1488: - a minor bug is fixed in DRAW intrinsic (2D and 3D graphics were able to
1489: appear on the same figure). The same mistake is fixed in DRWS intrinsic;
1490: - LAST is disabled in evaluation subroutine (EVAL and ->NUM intrinsics).
1491: * Sun May 18 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6j (RPL/2)
1492: - SLICE intrinsic is added. It is used to draw 3D graphics as contour lines;

1508: - SCLS is added;
1509: - DRWS now uses COLS to draw 2D graphics;
1510: - PPAR and SPAR are written. SPAR returns a list that contains the
1511: size of the statistical matrix (or "UNAVALAIBLE" if there is any
1512: statistical variable, or "DISABLED" if its type is not one of the type of
1513: a statistical matrix.) and XCOL and YCOL parameters. Warning: [[]] SIZE
1514: returns { 1 0 } and it is not a bug, because a null matrix contains _one_
1515: null line ! Thus, [[]] STOS SPAR returns { { 1 0 } 1 2 };
1516: - EXTERNAL intrinsic is added. Warning: by default, extern functions are
1517: disabled. Arguments of EXTERNAL are case sensitive because the external
1518: interface is written in C. { ext_sinus } EXTERNAL does not replace the list
1519: of known external functions but add the new list to the last. { "all" }
1520: EXTERNAL allows all external functions and { "none" } EXTERNAL removes all
1521: external names of the known functions;
1522: - mkrplso.in is modified.
1523: * Sun Apr 20 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6h (RPL/2)
1524: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
1525: - a minor mistake is fixed in recherche_instruction_suivante();
1526: - some minor memory leaks are fixed in recherche_type() function. They only

1534: - PUTC and PUTR new intrinsics are added.
1535: * Sun Apr 13 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6g (RPL/2)
1536: - a very minor bug is fixed in VISIT intrinsic. It only occurs when
1537: VISIT does not find a name in level 1;
1538: - configure.in script is modified to add a new test (--enable-debug
1539: flag). Configured with this fleg, RPL/2 will be built with electric-fences;
1540: - GETR (get row[s]) and GETC (get column[s]) are added. These new instructions
1541: extract a part of a matrix. Syntax: [[ 1 2 3 ][ 2 3 4 ]] { 1 } GETR or
1542: 'MATRIX' { 2 2 3 } GETR;
1543: - LOGSCALE intrinsic is improved and now, it can be used as
1544: { "main" "auxiliary" X Y } LOGSCALE;
1545: - SCALE intrinsic is used to fix the limits of a graphic. Its syntax is the
1546: same than AXES:
1547: { { 60 "ticsonly" 2 } { "automatic" "ticsonly" 10 } } axes
1548: { "auxiliary" { 60 "ticsonly" "default" } { "automatic" } } axes
1549: { { -10 10 } "automatic" } SCALE.
1550: Warning, it is not possible to ask a logarithmic scale with this intrinsic
1551: because it changes only the dimension of the screen. To have a logarithmic
1552: scale, you must use LOGSCALE intrinsic:
1553: { X } LOGSCALE gives a semi-log screen, { "auxiliary" X Y } gives a log-log
1554: screen on second scale;
1555: - { X X } autoscale and { Y Y } logscale are now invalid;
1556: - *D is added (depth multiplication, for 3D graphics);
1557: - a new intrinsic (*S) is added. It changes the scale of a graphic (X, Y
1558: and Z axes). The result of *S is the same than DUP DUP *H *W *D;
1559: - a major bug is fixed in GETI instrinsic when it is used with a name
1560: that contains a matrix or a vector (bad upper bounds conditions in
1561: incrementation);
1562: - DISP intrinsic now uses the 33-th flag. When it is not set
1563: (default), a final carriage return is sent to the terminal;
1564: - AXES intrinsic only takes a list that can contains the keywork
1565: "main" or "auxiliary". Before this modification, this keyword was in
1566: the first stack level;
1567: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
1568: - in appel_gnuplot(), stdin is closed when gnuplot is called with -raise
1569: option;
1570: - LAST is now disabled in the main loop of INT intrinsic;
1571: - expm1 and lnp1 are rewritten to use expm1 and log1p from math.h.
1572: * Sun Apr 6 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6f (RPL/2)
1573: - a major bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. It occurs with DRAW
1574: intrinsic when the equation cannot be evaluated (for example 'SIN(X)/X'
1575: in 0);
1576: - LAST is disabled in the main loop of DRAW intrinsic;
1577: - a major bug is fixed in DRAW intrinsic. When an error occurs in the
1578: evaluation of an equation, the system stack is returned corrupted to the
1579: sequencer;
1580: - the same minor bug is fixed in FOR and START. It only occurs when the limits
1581: of a loop are not integer or real.
1582: * Sun Mar 31 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6e (RPL/2)

1592: - DRWS intrinsic is written. Two datastyles are associated: SCATTER (2D
1593: and 3D) and HISTOGRAM (only 2D, but 3 columns are accepted, the third shown

1610: - a minor bug is fixed in evaluation subroutine;
1611: - vim syntax file is improved;
1612: - DRAW (wireframe section) is fixed. When an error occurs in the evaluation
1613: of a 3D-graphic (for example 'SIN(R)/R' with 'R=SQRT(X**2+Y**2)' in X=0 and
1614: Y=0), no graph was procuced (it results from a bug in gnuplot, and this fix
1615: is a quick and dirty workaround...);
1616: - RETURN intrinsic is modified to fix a trouble in interactive mode;
1617: - rplconvert is improved.

1727: i586, i686, K6, K7, alpha ev4, alpha ev5, alpha ev56, alpha ev6, sparc v7,
1728: sparc v8 and sparc v9. Compilation of RPL/2 on my Sun Sparc 2 (sun4c,
1729: CPU 4/75, 64 MB, 40 MHz with FPU) is a very great mission :
1730:
1731: Newton:[~/rpl/rpl] > time make install
