193: by a new feature in glibc.
194: * Thu Apr 14 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.22 (RPL/2)
195: - by default, RPL/2 uses "NONE" IMPLICIT when it's started in batch mode and
196: "ALL" IMPLICIT when it runs in interactive mode;
197: - when "NONE" IMPLICIT is set, STO intrinsic raises an error when it is used
198: to create or modify a global variable. Now, with "NONE" IMPLICIT, you have
199: to use SAVE to manipulate global variables;
200: - replace erroneous TAB by TBL in evaluation() and formateur_fichier()
201: subroutines;
202: - fix major memory access violation in evaluation subroutine. Only occurs
203: when 'X(i,j)' is evaluated on a matrix and when (i,j) points out of bounds;
204: - fix major bug in evaluation subroutine. 'X(i)' returns execution error
205: when X was a vector or a table.

236: - due to a very strange bug I've only seen on Solaris, ptmalloc3 is removed.
237: Solaris libresolv randomly uses ptmalloc3 and system allocator and makes heap
238: corruption. As internal memory management have been improved, a best fit
239: allocator like ptmalloc3 is not required anymore;
240: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.4.1;
241: - deadlock is fixed in signal handlers: same mutex was used in standard
242: subroutines (without protected sections by sigprocmask() or pthread_sigmask())
243: and signal handlers. A new signal handler specific mutex is added;
244: - minor bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. In { X 0 PI }, PI is a function
245: that has to be evaluated by ->NUM;
246: - rplfile build process is modify to be sure that rplfile is not modified
247: after rpl build stage (to be sure that rplfile checksum is not modified after

255: parent process was not interrupted if it is not group master process. To fix
256: this bug, SIGINJECT signal is not sent by child process but by control thread
257: in parent process;
258: - minor bug is fixed in data injection (POKE) that does not work as expected
259: when child process is protected by NRPROC.
260: * Thu Aug 26 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.18 (RPL/2)
261: - --enable-sysv-sems is added to configure script to use SystemV semaphores
262: functions instead of POSIX functions. This function is disabled or forced on
263: systems that does not provide correct POSIX or SysV semaphores subsystem;
264: - a dirty but not quick patch is written to workaround broken siginfo
265: structures. This patch has been successfully tested. It uses a segment of
266: shared memory (Posix or SysV) and some semaphores (Posix or SysV) by process
267: (Unix PID);
268: - some OpenBSD's hacks are added;
269: - broken siginfo->si_pid field is now checked by configure script;

287: Level 0 and 1 variables adresses were swapped when a global variable masked
288: a name of RPL/2 routine;
289: - major bug is fixed in global variable creation subroutine. When a global
290: variable was created and when a local variable existed with the same name,
291: computed address of global variable was wrong;
292: - src/Makefile.am is modified to avoid a bug on several systems. libptmalloc3
293: is forced in front of all libraries.

295: - BACKTRACE intrinsic is added;
296: - major bug is fixed in SELECT/DEFAULT/END conditional structure. Only occurs
297: when this structure is included in IFERR/THEN/END structure and when an error is
298: caught;
299: - major bug is fixed in analyse() subroutine. When evaluation() returned error
300: in a compiled program, analyse() caught this error twice and randomly aborted
301: with a segmentation error;
302: - TRIM and TOKENIZE replace both '\n' and '\t' by regular spaces;
303: - ATEXIT subroutine begins with an implicit CSTOP to avoid multiple stop
304: signals;
305: - memory leak is fixed in ROW+. It only occurs when a row is added to an empty
306: matrix.

311: - openssl is upgraded to 1.0.0a;
312: - interrupt stacks are now FIFO instead of LIFO;
313: - debug memory allocation subroutines are improved to run in multithreaded
314: programs;
315: - some memory leaks are fixed in process management (SPAWN and DETACH);

325: format in FCH (file descriptor) and SCK (socket descriptor);
326: - debug routines are improved;
327: - PROCID is added;
328: - MEMLOCK and MEMUNLOCK are added. MEMLOCK forces a process to remain in memory
329: and to not use swap;
330: - major bug is fixed in sql support. SQL connections were closed in all chield
331: process;
332: - standard allocator (malloc()/free()) is replaced by ptmalloc3 due to some bugs
333: discovered in Solaris thread safe allocators (libmalloc and libumem) that
334: are first fit class allocators. Solaris libmtmalloc works better and is
335: a best fit class allocator but its performance is poor than ptmalloc3
336: performance;
337: - major bug is fixed in ROW+ intrinsic (new row was not added where it
338: should);
339: - minor bugs are fixed in interruptions.c (semaphores values when error is
340: caught);
341: - major bug is fixed in STOP intrinsic. STOP was unable to stop any process
342: created by SPAWN;

352: information about shared variable was not copied to new processus structure;
353: - some little memory leaks are fixed in evaluation(), recherche_type() and
354: sequenceur(). They only occured when syntax error were caught;
355: - IMPLICIT causes execution error instead system error;
356: - Hurd support is improved but currently broken because Hurd does not support
357: SIG_INFO. Work in progress;
358: - OpenBSD specific support is removed from sources;

398: rplc (RPL/2 compiler).
399: * Tue Mar 09 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.12 (RPL/2)
400: - in formatted file, string format returned a variable length string even if
401: format was 'CHARACTER*(n)' (n characters string). Now, 'CHARACTER*(*)' returns
402: a variable length string and 'CHARACTER*(n)' a fixed length string;
403: - keyed access files support is added. Currently, only formatted files are
404: supported;
405: - direct access files support is added. Currenlty, these files can only be used
406: in formatted mode;

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

452: * Fri Jan 08 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.8 (RPL/2)
453: - minor bug is fixed in DAEMON intrinsic. When a program was daemonized, all
454: signals sent to main process were not caught because DAEMON did not replace
455: old pid by new one;
456: - major bug is fixed in IFERR/THEN/ELSE/END. Only occurs in expression
457: evaluation when an error is reported from a subroutine in another subroutine.
458: For example, error was not caught in following program when it is executed with
459: -p option :
460: TEST << iferr TEST2 then end >>
461: TEST2 << 0 inv >>
462: - major bug is fixed in variable management. Some local variables were
463: seen as global ones;

465: script file contains a multibyte character;
466: - IN intrinsic is added;
467: - major bug is fixed in SAME intrinsic : << 1 >> DUP SAME and 'E' DUP SAME
468: returned false ;
469: - major bug is fixed in RETURN intrinsic. It only occurs in compiled
470: programs;
471: - major bug is fixed in NEG intrinsic. NEG did not make a copy of its arguments;
472: - regression is fixed in compilation(). "\\" was analysed as '"' '\' '\"' and
473: strings were never closed;

479: encountered at end of block, subroutine aborts with an execution error;
480: - major bug is fixed in OPEN (TCP/IPv4 sockets).
481: * Mon Nov 30 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.7 (RPL/2)
482: - DISP now locks stdout;
483: - rpliconv is added to replace standard iconv provided by operating system.
484: Indeed, conversion between different encodages requires transliteration
485: that is not offered by some iconv utility;
486: - CURRENC and RECODE intrinsics have been written to allow strings conversions;
487: - bug is fixed in SYSEVAL. When execvp() returns (for example when arg[0] can
488: not be found), SYSEVAL enters in a dead lock;
489: - fprintf is replaced by some functions that allow transliterations between
490: locales;
491: - '"' can now be used in strings ("\"");
492: - iconv is called with -c in preprocessor stage. It is done to write
493: CGI scripts with RPL/2 because locale charset is set to ANSI_X3.4-1968;
494: - double free is fixed in liberation() (type SQL, only occurs when locale is
495: set);
496: - LOCALIZATION, UCASE and LCASE are added;
497: - major bug is fixed in EXIT intrinsic that was able to return a false
498: execution error in compiled scripts (only in DO/UNTIL and REPEAT/WHILE loops);

506: - pipe() is overwritten by a macro to avoid a system error. Communication
507: between process are done with pipes and these pipes are managed by a
508: specific asynchrone thread. If a script try to create more threads than
509: management thread can destroy, you can quickly achieve maximum number of
510: opened files and pipe() shall return a system error. This macro tries to create
511: pipes. If pipe() function returns an error, macro waits and retries. If
512: number of retries is greater than a hardcoded value, macro returns an error;
513: - major bug (deadlock) is fixed in process and thread management. I hope
514: this bug shall be the last one;
515: - major bug is fixed in DET intrinsic (determinant was computed without LU
516: diagonalization);
517: - SWAPCNTXT is added;
518: - minor bug is fixed in Makefile.am (licences rule).

520: - some bugfixes are added in process management;
521: - all process management is rewritten to avoid usage of defunct process
522: or thread number;
523: - new major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. Sometimes, when retrait_thread()
524: was called before a pending interruption5 (SIGFSTOP), signal handler uses
525: a freed semaphore and corrupts heap;
526: - CLRERR is added to erase previous errors;
527: - ERRN and ERRM return exception message and number;
528: - major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. All signal are now bufferised
529: when semaphore_liste_threads is null to avoid deadlock. This bug only
530: occured when STOP was sent to a dying thread or process (when this thread or
531: process was running retrait_thread());
532: - matrix rank is computed before matrix inversion;
533: - file locks are added to stdin and stdout. stderr is not locked because
534: all messages written by signal handlers are sent to stderr;
535: - configure.in script is modified to test gcc version and avoid a bug in
536: gcc older than 4.4;
537: - some benchmarks have been done :

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

656: static variable that is shared by multiple threads;
657: - '->' intrinsic is improved. All object copies have been avoided;
658: - -n flag is added to catch HUP signal. stderr and stdout are redirected
659: to a file, stdin is redirected to /dev/null when control process is killed;

677: that all programs that worked with old SQL intrinsic can now work with
678: SQLQUERY. With all new programs, you can open a real connection to databases;
679: - NRPROC is added. This new intrinsic is used to catch error from child
680: process. Without NRPROC, any errors returned by child process cause
681: main process to abort;
682: - SPAWN is added. This new intrinsic is used to launch a new thread (DETACH
683: starts a new process). There are no mutexes in RPL/2 because all spawned process
684: use specific context. Nevertheless, shared variables and associated mutexes
685: should be added;

824: before starting interrupt evaluation;
825: - -f parameter is added when iconv is called;
826: - as old file program was bugged, a new option is added to configure script.
827: When configure is called with --disable-encoding-autodetection, make does not
828: try to detect source encoding. Please, do not use if RPL/2 can be built
829: without this option !
830: - new garbage collector (and more efficient) is written;
831: - configure script is modified to be usable on NetBSD 4.0, but as NetBSD does
832: not support real time signals, RPL/2 cannot use multitasking functions;
833: - error returned by preprocessor are now catched by RPL/2;
834: - -p option is added. With this option, all scripts are compiled before
835: RPL/2 starts evaluation. HALT cannot be used with -p, but all programs run
836: 40% faster;
837: - read and write operations in pipe() are rewritten to be sure that such
838: operations are atomic;
839: - minor bug is fixed in LOGSCALE. With {} LOGSCALE, all scales have to be

1035: or purge actions. New PARAMETER and VARIABLE intrinsics are modified
1036: versions of PROTECT and UNPROTECT that only deal with global variables
1037: (see RCL/SAVE);
1038: - variable management routines have been rewritten. The new ones are
1039: uncompatible with the old ones. Before these changes, a local variable
1040: was exported to a child subroutine, but cannot be modified into this
1041: child subroutine. Now, a local variable is accessible only in its subroutine;
1042: - SAVE intrinsic is added to manipulate global variables;

1364: - NOT is not correctly formatted in formateur.c:
1365: Z NOT -> 'NOT Z' but 'A+Z' NOT -> 'NOT A+Z' and 'NOT Z+A' -> 'NOTZ+A'
1366: with a NOTZ function !
1367: * Sun Aug 10 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre7c (RPL/2)

1370: - RPL/2 is tested with efence and valgrind;
1371: - configure.in script is modified;
1372: - units.c is modified to be built by gcc-3.3. I only have removed a #if 0/#endif

1454: - PPAR and SPAR are written. SPAR returns a list that contains the
1455: size of the statistical matrix (or "UNAVALAIBLE" if there is any
1456: statistical variable, or "DISABLED" if its type is not one of the type of
1457: a statistical matrix.) and XCOL and YCOL parameters. Warning: [[]] SIZE
1458: returns { 1 0 } and it is not a bug, because a null matrix contains _one_
1459: null line ! Thus, [[]] STOS SPAR returns { { 1 0 } 1 2 };
1460: - EXTERNAL intrinsic is added. Warning: by default, extern functions are
1461: disabled. Arguments of EXTERNAL are case sensitive because the external
1462: interface is written in C. { ext_sinus } EXTERNAL does not replace the list
1463: of known external functions but add the new list to the last. { "all" }
1464: EXTERNAL allows all external functions and { "none" } EXTERNAL removes all
1465: external names of the known functions;
1466: - mkrplso.in is modified.
1467: * Sun Apr 20 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6h (RPL/2)
1468: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
1469: - a minor mistake is fixed in recherche_instruction_suivante();

1480: - a very minor bug is fixed in VISIT intrinsic. It only occurs when
1481: VISIT does not find a name in level 1;
1482: - configure.in script is modified to add a new test (--enable-debug
1483: flag). Configured with this fleg, RPL/2 will be built with electric-fences;
1484: - GETR (get row[s]) and GETC (get column[s]) are added. These new instructions
1485: extract a part of a matrix. Syntax: [[ 1 2 3 ][ 2 3 4 ]] { 1 } GETR or
1486: 'MATRIX' { 2 2 3 } GETR;
1487: - LOGSCALE intrinsic is improved and now, it can be used as
1488: { "main" "auxiliary" X Y } LOGSCALE;
1489: - SCALE intrinsic is used to fix the limits of a graphic. Its syntax is the
1490: same than AXES:
1491: { { 60 "ticsonly" 2 } { "automatic" "ticsonly" 10 } } axes
1492: { "auxiliary" { 60 "ticsonly" "default" } { "automatic" } } axes
1493: { { -10 10 } "automatic" } SCALE.
1494: Warning, it is not possible to ask a logarithmic scale with this intrinsic
1495: because it changes only the dimension of the screen. To have a logarithmic
1496: scale, you must use LOGSCALE intrinsic:
1497: { X } LOGSCALE gives a semi-log screen, { "auxiliary" X Y } gives a log-log
1498: screen on second scale;
1499: - { X X } autoscale and { Y Y } logscale are now invalid;
1500: - *D is added (depth multiplication, for 3D graphics);
1501: - a new intrinsic (*S) is added. It changes the scale of a graphic (X, Y
1502: and Z axes). The result of *S is the same than DUP DUP *H *W *D;
1503: - a major bug is fixed in GETI instrinsic when it is used with a name
1504: that contains a matrix or a vector (bad upper bounds conditions in
1505: incrementation);
1506: - DISP intrinsic now uses the 33-th flag. When it is not set
1507: (default), a final carriage return is sent to the terminal;
1508: - AXES intrinsic only takes a list that can contains the keywork
1509: "main" or "auxiliary". Before this modification, this keyword was in
1510: the first stack level;
1511: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
1512: - in appel_gnuplot(), stdin is closed when gnuplot is called with -raise
