1.52 bertrand 341: * Thu Sep 23 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.19 (RPL/2)
342: - due to a very strange bug I've only seen on Solaris, ptmalloc3 is removed.
343: Solaris libresolv randomly uses ptmalloc3 and system allocator and makes heap
344: corruption. As internal memory management have been improved, a best fit
345: allocator like ptmalloc3 is not required anymore;
1.50 bertrand 346: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.4.1;
347: - deadlock is fixed in signal handlers: same mutex was used in standard
348: subroutines (without protected sections by sigprocmask() or pthread_sigmask())

350: - minor bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. In { X 0 PI }, PI is a function
351: that has to be evaluated by ->NUM;
1.49 bertrand 352: - rplfile build process is modify to be sure that rplfile is not modified
353: after rpl build stage (to be sure that rplfile checksum is not modified after
354: rpl compilation);
1.51 bertrand 355: - AWK is replaced by rplawk. rplawk is original awk written by Brian Kernighan,

358: ABORT now works on eComStation;
359: - sqlite is upgraded to 3.7.2;
360: - bug is fixed in software interrupts. When both process have different PID,
361: parent process was not interrupted if it is not group master process. To fix
362: this bug, SIGINJECT signal is not sent by child process but by control thread
363: in parent process;
1.46 bertrand 364: - minor bug is fixed in data injection (POKE) that does not work as expected
365: when child process is protected by NRPROC.

1.43 bertrand 367: - --enable-sysv-sems is added to configure script to use SystemV semaphores
368: functions instead of POSIX functions. This function is disabled or forced on
369: systems that does not provide correct POSIX or SysV semaphores subsystem;
370: - a dirty but not quick patch is written to workaround broken siginfo
371: structures. This patch has been successfully tested. It uses a segment of
1.50 bertrand 372: shared memory (Posix or SysV) and some semaphores (Posix or SysV) by process
1.43 bertrand 373: (Unix PID);
1.41 bertrand 374: - some OpenBSD's hacks are added;

393: Level 0 and 1 variables adresses were swapped when a global variable masked
394: a name of RPL/2 routine;
1.35 bertrand 395: - major bug is fixed in global variable creation subroutine. When a global
396: variable was created and when a local variable existed with the same name,
397: computed address of global variable was wrong;
398: - src/Makefile.am is modified to avoid a bug on several systems. libptmalloc3
399: is forced in front of all libraries.

401: - BACKTRACE intrinsic is added;
402: - major bug is fixed in SELECT/DEFAULT/END conditional structure. Only occurs
403: when this structure is included in IFERR/THEN/END structure and when an error is
404: caught;
405: - major bug is fixed in analyse() subroutine. When evaluation() returned error
406: in a compiled program, analyse() caught this error twice and randomly aborted
407: with a segmentation error;
408: - TRIM and TOKENIZE replace both '\n' and '\t' by regular spaces;
409: - ATEXIT subroutine begins with an implicit CSTOP to avoid multiple stop
410: signals;
411: - memory leak is fixed in ROW+. It only occurs when a row is added to an empty

437: process;
438: - standard allocator (malloc()/free()) is replaced by ptmalloc3 due to some bugs
439: discovered in Solaris thread safe allocators (libmalloc and libumem) that

441: a best fit class allocator but its performance is poor than ptmalloc3
442: performance;
1.24 bertrand 443: - major bug is fixed in ROW+ intrinsic (new row was not added where it
444: should);
445: - minor bugs are fixed in interruptions.c (semaphores values when error is
446: caught);
447: - major bug is fixed in STOP intrinsic. STOP was unable to stop any process
448: created by SPAWN;
449: - SIGFABORT is added. When process receives SIGFSTOP, it tries to execute
450: ATEXIT. If it receives SIGFABORT, it does not;
1.23 bertrand 451: - ONEXIT is renamed in ATEXIT;
452: - ONEXIT new intrinsic is added.

458: information about shared variable was not copied to new processus structure;
1.19 bertrand 459: - some little memory leaks are fixed in evaluation(), recherche_type() and
460: sequenceur(). They only occured when syntax error were caught;
461: - IMPLICIT causes execution error instead system error;

503: sends preprocessor output to standard output. This option is used by
504: rplc (RPL/2 compiler).
1.13 bertrand 505: * Tue Mar 09 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.12 (RPL/2)
506: - in formatted file, string format returned a variable length string even if
507: format was 'CHARACTER*(n)' (n characters string). Now, 'CHARACTER*(*)' returns
1.15 bertrand 508: a variable length string and 'CHARACTER*(n)' a fixed length string;
1.13 bertrand 509: - keyed access files support is added. Currently, only formatted files are

520: on a non recoverable system error;
521: - openssl and sqlite3 libraries are added;
522: - RPL_HOME env variable is added. When RPL/2 is called from librpl, this
523: variable indicates RPL/2 root directory. If it is not set, root path
524: is given by configure script (d_exec_path);
1.11 bertrand 525: * Thu Mar 03 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.11 (RPL/2)

558: * Fri Jan 08 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.8 (RPL/2)
559: - minor bug is fixed in DAEMON intrinsic. When a program was daemonized, all
560: signals sent to main process were not caught because DAEMON did not replace
561: old pid by new one;
562: - major bug is fixed in IFERR/THEN/ELSE/END. Only occurs in expression
563: evaluation when an error is reported from a subroutine in another subroutine.
564: For example, error was not caught in following program when it is executed with

571: script file contains a multibyte character;
572: - IN intrinsic is added;
573: - major bug is fixed in SAME intrinsic : << 1 >> DUP SAME and 'E' DUP SAME
574: returned false ;
575: - major bug is fixed in RETURN intrinsic. It only occurs in compiled
576: programs;
577: - major bug is fixed in NEG intrinsic. NEG did not make a copy of its arguments;
578: - regression is fixed in compilation(). "\\" was analysed as '"' '\' '\"' and

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

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

626: - some bugfixes are added in process management;
627: - all process management is rewritten to avoid usage of defunct process
628: or thread number;
629: - new major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. Sometimes, when retrait_thread()
630: was called before a pending interruption5 (SIGFSTOP), signal handler uses
631: a freed semaphore and corrupts heap;
632: - CLRERR is added to erase previous errors;
633: - ERRN and ERRM return exception message and number;
634: - major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. All signal are now bufferised
635: when semaphore_liste_threads is null to avoid deadlock. This bug only
636: occured when STOP was sent to a dying thread or process (when this thread or
637: process was running retrait_thread());
638: - matrix rank is computed before matrix inversion;
639: - file locks are added to stdin and stdout. stderr is not locked because
640: all messages written by signal handlers are sent to stderr;

715: SIGFSTP (with a nullified siginfo structure) instead of SIGHUP when control
716: process is killed;
717: - abs() macro is modified to avoid multiple evaluation. Your C compiler has to
718: know typeof() intrinsic function. This function is not standard but exists
719: under Sun Studio, gcc, and maybe some others compilers. If this function does
720: not exist on your compiler, you can change its definition by old one in
721: src/rpl.h;

784: SQLQUERY. With all new programs, you can open a real connection to databases;
785: - NRPROC is added. This new intrinsic is used to catch error from child
786: process. Without NRPROC, any errors returned by child process cause
787: main process to abort;
788: - SPAWN is added. This new intrinsic is used to launch a new thread (DETACH
789: starts a new process). There are no mutexes in RPL/2 because all spawned process
790: use specific context. Nevertheless, shared variables and associated mutexes
791: should be added;

1088: it tries to launch regular gnuplot;
1089: - gnuplot is added to source tree to avoid some trouble between preinstalled
1090: gnuplot and release used by RPL/2. This addition to source tree is

1097: not writable;
1098: - major regression is fixed in SYSEVAL intrinsic due to introduction of
1099: error scrutation.

1144: - variable management routines have been rewritten. The new ones are
1145: uncompatible with the old ones. Before these changes, a local variable
1146: was exported to a child subroutine, but cannot be modified into this
1147: child subroutine. Now, a local variable is accessible only in its subroutine;
1148: - SAVE intrinsic is added to manipulate global variables;

1466: (less parenthesis);
1467: - rplpp is modified to workaround a mistake in 'which' function (seems to appear
1468: on Debian distribution, but since cpp is in the default path, RPL/2 works
1469: fine...);
1470: - NOT is not correctly formatted in formateur.c:
1471: Z NOT -> 'NOT Z' but 'A+Z' NOT -> 'NOT A+Z' and 'NOT Z+A' -> 'NOTZ+A'
1472: with a NOTZ function !
1473: * Sun Aug 10 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre7c (RPL/2)
1474: - CYCLE is fixed. Now, it is possible to use CYCLE in an expression even
1475: if the main loop is in a program;
1476: - RPL/2 is tested with efence and valgrind;
1477: - configure.in script is modified;
1478: - units.c is modified to be built by gcc-3.3. I only have removed a #if 0/#endif
1479: structure. I don't know why this code was compiled by gcc-3.3... Maybe
1480: another gcc bug...
1481: * Fri Jul 25 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre7b (RPL/2)
1482: - EXIT is fixed. Now, it is possible to use EXIT in an expression when the

1514: 2: integer (number of column to be inserted)
1515: 1: column matrix to be inserted;
1516: - major bug was discovered in interface_gnuplot(). It only occurs when

1525: * Sun Jun 1 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6k (RPL/2)
1526: - SLICESCALE intrinsic is added. Its syntax is
1527: { "automatic" nb_of_levels }
1528: { "discrete" l1 l2 l3 ... }
1529: { "incremental" start incr }
1530: { "incremental" start incr end }
1531: { "automatic" } (default);

1539: appear on the same figure). The same mistake is fixed in DRWS intrinsic;
1540: - LAST is disabled in evaluation subroutine (EVAL and ->NUM intrinsics).
1541: * Sun May 18 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6j (RPL/2)

1558: - SCLS is added;
1559: - DRWS now uses COLS to draw 2D graphics;
1560: - PPAR and SPAR are written. SPAR returns a list that contains the
1561: size of the statistical matrix (or "UNAVALAIBLE" if there is any
1562: statistical variable, or "DISABLED" if its type is not one of the type of
1563: a statistical matrix.) and XCOL and YCOL parameters. Warning: [[]] SIZE
1564: returns { 1 0 } and it is not a bug, because a null matrix contains _one_
1565: null line ! Thus, [[]] STOS SPAR returns { { 1 0 } 1 2 };
1566: - EXTERNAL intrinsic is added. Warning: by default, extern functions are
1567: disabled. Arguments of EXTERNAL are case sensitive because the external
1568: interface is written in C. { ext_sinus } EXTERNAL does not replace the list
1569: of known external functions but add the new list to the last. { "all" }
1570: EXTERNAL allows all external functions and { "none" } EXTERNAL removes all
1571: external names of the known functions;
1572: - mkrplso.in is modified.
1573: * Sun Apr 20 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6h (RPL/2)
1574: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
1575: - a minor mistake is fixed in recherche_instruction_suivante();
1576: - some minor memory leaks are fixed in recherche_type() function. They only

1584: - PUTC and PUTR new intrinsics are added.
1585: * Sun Apr 13 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6g (RPL/2)
1586: - a very minor bug is fixed in VISIT intrinsic. It only occurs when
1587: VISIT does not find a name in level 1;
1588: - configure.in script is modified to add a new test (--enable-debug
1589: flag). Configured with this fleg, RPL/2 will be built with electric-fences;
1590: - GETR (get row[s]) and GETC (get column[s]) are added. These new instructions
1591: extract a part of a matrix. Syntax: [[ 1 2 3 ][ 2 3 4 ]] { 1 } GETR or
1592: 'MATRIX' { 2 2 3 } GETR;
1593: - LOGSCALE intrinsic is improved and now, it can be used as
1594: { "main" "auxiliary" X Y } LOGSCALE;
1595: - SCALE intrinsic is used to fix the limits of a graphic. Its syntax is the
1596: same than AXES:
1597: { { 60 "ticsonly" 2 } { "automatic" "ticsonly" 10 } } axes
1598: { "auxiliary" { 60 "ticsonly" "default" } { "automatic" } } axes
1599: { { -10 10 } "automatic" } SCALE.
1600: Warning, it is not possible to ask a logarithmic scale with this intrinsic
1601: because it changes only the dimension of the screen. To have a logarithmic
1602: scale, you must use LOGSCALE intrinsic:
1603: { X } LOGSCALE gives a semi-log screen, { "auxiliary" X Y } gives a log-log
1604: screen on second scale;
1605: - { X X } autoscale and { Y Y } logscale are now invalid;
1606: - *D is added (depth multiplication, for 3D graphics);
1607: - a new intrinsic (*S) is added. It changes the scale of a graphic (X, Y
1608: and Z axes). The result of *S is the same than DUP DUP *H *W *D;
1609: - a major bug is fixed in GETI instrinsic when it is used with a name
1610: that contains a matrix or a vector (bad upper bounds conditions in
1611: incrementation);
1612: - DISP intrinsic now uses the 33-th flag. When it is not set
1613: (default), a final carriage return is sent to the terminal;
1614: - AXES intrinsic only takes a list that can contains the keywork
1615: "main" or "auxiliary". Before this modification, this keyword was in
1616: the first stack level;
1617: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
1618: - in appel_gnuplot(), stdin is closed when gnuplot is called with -raise
1619: option;
1620: - LAST is now disabled in the main loop of INT intrinsic;
1621: - expm1 and lnp1 are rewritten to use expm1 and log1p from math.h.
1622: * Sun Apr 6 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6f (RPL/2)
1623: - a major bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. It occurs with DRAW
1624: intrinsic when the equation cannot be evaluated (for example 'SIN(X)/X'
1625: in 0);
1626: - LAST is disabled in the main loop of DRAW intrinsic;
1627: - a major bug is fixed in DRAW intrinsic. When an error occurs in the
1628: evaluation of an equation, the system stack is returned corrupted to the
1629: sequencer;
1630: - the same minor bug is fixed in FOR and START. It only occurs when the limits
1631: of a loop are not integer or real.
1632: * Sun Mar 31 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6e (RPL/2)
1633: - the compilation stage aborts with an error message when two definitions
1634: have the same name. To improve the compilation() subroutine, I have to
1635: add some tests in gestion_variables.c;
1636: - recherche_type() subroutine ad some other connex subroutines are improved.
1637: Now, some syntax errors about object are caught and do not perform sequencer
1638: hangup;

1640: - Makefile.am's and configure.in scripts are improved.
1641: * Fri Mar 14 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6d (RPL/2)
1642: - DRWS intrinsic is written. Two datastyles are associated: SCATTER (2D
1643: and 3D) and HISTOGRAM (only 2D, but 3 columns are accepted, the third shown
1644: the boxwidth, 1 by default);
1645: - recherche_type() is rewritten to be faster;
1646: - gsl is upgraded (release 1.3);
1647: - ncurses is upgraded and patched (release 5.3);
1648: - recherche_instruction_suivante() is fixed (string research with included
1649: '"') and rewritten to be faster;

1661: - vim syntax file is improved;
1662: - DRAW (wireframe section) is fixed. When an error occurs in the evaluation
1663: of a 3D-graphic (for example 'SIN(R)/R' with 'R=SQRT(X**2+Y**2)' in X=0 and
1664: Y=0), no graph was procuced (it results from a bug in gnuplot, and this fix
1665: is a quick and dirty workaround...);
1666: - RETURN intrinsic is modified to fix a trouble in interactive mode;
1667: - rplconvert is improved.
1668: * Sun Dec 22 2002 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6a (RPL/2)

1684: Now, an expression such as 'A+' returns an error when it is analyzed;
1685: - VISIT intrinsic is added;
1686: - a major memory leak is fixed in evaluation.c. This bug rarely occurs in
1687: normal mode.
