153: by a new feature in glibc.
154: * Thu Apr 14 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.22 (RPL/2)
155: - by default, RPL/2 uses "NONE" IMPLICIT when it's started in batch mode and
156: "ALL" IMPLICIT when it runs in interactive mode;
157: - when "NONE" IMPLICIT is set, STO intrinsic raises an error when it is used
158: to create or modify a global variable. Now, with "NONE" IMPLICIT, you have
159: to use SAVE to manipulate global variables;
160: - replace erroneous TAB by TBL in evaluation() and formateur_fichier()
161: subroutines;
162: - fix major memory access violation in evaluation subroutine. Only occurs
163: when 'X(i,j)' is evaluated on a matrix and when (i,j) points out of bounds;
164: - fix major bug in evaluation subroutine. 'X(i)' returns execution error
165: when X was a vector or a table.

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

215: parent process was not interrupted if it is not group master process. To fix
216: this bug, SIGINJECT signal is not sent by child process but by control thread
217: in parent process;
218: - minor bug is fixed in data injection (POKE) that does not work as expected
219: when child process is protected by NRPROC.
220: * Thu Aug 26 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.18 (RPL/2)
221: - --enable-sysv-sems is added to configure script to use SystemV semaphores
222: functions instead of POSIX functions. This function is disabled or forced on
223: systems that does not provide correct POSIX or SysV semaphores subsystem;
224: - a dirty but not quick patch is written to workaround broken siginfo
225: structures. This patch has been successfully tested. It uses a segment of
226: shared memory (Posix or SysV) and some semaphores (Posix or SysV) by process
227: (Unix PID);
228: - some OpenBSD's hacks are added;
229: - broken siginfo->si_pid field is now checked by configure script;
230: - SWI now sends SIGCONT to interrupted process to start interrupt without delay;

239: - TOKENIZE is now able to convert escape sequences;
240: - ATPOKE and CLRATPOKE new intrinsics are added;
241: - --enable-full-static configure flag is added. With this flag, mysql and
242: postgresql libraries are statically linked in rpl executable;

247: Level 0 and 1 variables adresses were swapped when a global variable masked
248: a name of RPL/2 routine;
249: - major bug is fixed in global variable creation subroutine. When a global
250: variable was created and when a local variable existed with the same name,
251: computed address of global variable was wrong;
252: - src/Makefile.am is modified to avoid a bug on several systems. libptmalloc3
253: is forced in front of all libraries.
254: * Tue Jul 13 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.17 (RPL/2)
255: - BACKTRACE intrinsic is added;
256: - major bug is fixed in SELECT/DEFAULT/END conditional structure. Only occurs
257: when this structure is included in IFERR/THEN/END structure and when an error is
258: caught;
259: - major bug is fixed in analyse() subroutine. When evaluation() returned error
260: in a compiled program, analyse() caught this error twice and randomly aborted
261: with a segmentation error;
262: - TRIM and TOKENIZE replace both '\n' and '\t' by regular spaces;
263: - ATEXIT subroutine begins with an implicit CSTOP to avoid multiple stop
264: signals;
265: - memory leak is fixed in ROW+. It only occurs when a row is added to an empty
266: matrix.
267: * Thu Jun 24 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.16 (RPL/2)
268: - minor bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. With this patch, same program
269: returns same result with or without -p flag;

271: - openssl is upgraded to 1.0.0a;
272: - interrupt stacks are now FIFO instead of LIFO;
273: - debug memory allocation subroutines are improved to run in multithreaded
274: programs;
275: - some memory leaks are fixed in process management (SPAWN and DETACH);
276: - version verification is added to shared objects;
277: - -D_GNU_SOURCE is added to ptmalloc3 makefile to avoid a major bug on 64 bits
278: linux (false mremap() prototype);
279: - major bug is fixed in rpliconv. getc() returns an int, not a unsigned char.
280: * Sun May 23 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.15 (RPL/2)
281: - all '-' are replaced by '_' in random generator list;

285: format in FCH (file descriptor) and SCK (socket descriptor);
286: - debug routines are improved;
287: - PROCID is added;
288: - MEMLOCK and MEMUNLOCK are added. MEMLOCK forces a process to remain in memory
289: and to not use swap;
290: - major bug is fixed in sql support. SQL connections were closed in all chield
291: process;
292: - standard allocator (malloc()/free()) is replaced by ptmalloc3 due to some bugs
293: discovered in Solaris thread safe allocators (libmalloc and libumem) that
294: are first fit class allocators. Solaris libmtmalloc works better and is
295: a best fit class allocator but its performance is poor than ptmalloc3
296: performance;
297: - major bug is fixed in ROW+ intrinsic (new row was not added where it
298: should);
299: - minor bugs are fixed in interruptions.c (semaphores values when error is
300: caught);
301: - major bug is fixed in STOP intrinsic. STOP was unable to stop any process
302: created by SPAWN;

314: sequenceur(). They only occured when syntax error were caught;
315: - IMPLICIT causes execution error instead system error;

406: - PULPRFL does not abort on BUG() but on execution error;
407: - TRIM, REPL and TOKENIZE are added;
408: - sockets options are now set before bind();
409: - shutdown() is added to all connected sockets;
410: - minor bug is fixed in SUB intrinsic (segfault when SUB is called with

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

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

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

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

993: With STATIC, next variables created by '->' are static;
994: - PROTECT and UNPROTECT are added to protect variables against write
995: or purge actions. New PARAMETER and VARIABLE intrinsics are modified
996: versions of PROTECT and UNPROTECT that only deal with global variables
997: (see RCL/SAVE);
998: - variable management routines have been rewritten. The new ones are
999: uncompatible with the old ones. Before these changes, a local variable
1000: was exported to a child subroutine, but cannot be modified into this
1001: child subroutine. Now, a local variable is accessible only in its subroutine;
1002: - SAVE intrinsic is added to manipulate global variables;

1323: fine...);
1324: - NOT is not correctly formatted in formateur.c:
1325: Z NOT -> 'NOT Z' but 'A+Z' NOT -> 'NOT A+Z' and 'NOT Z+A' -> 'NOTZ+A'
1326: with a NOTZ function !
1327: * Sun Aug 10 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre7c (RPL/2)

1330: - RPL/2 is tested with efence and valgrind;
1331: - configure.in script is modified;
1332: - units.c is modified to be built by gcc-3.3. I only have removed a #if 0/#endif

1393: appear on the same figure). The same mistake is fixed in DRWS intrinsic;
1394: - LAST is disabled in evaluation subroutine (EVAL and ->NUM intrinsics).
1395: * Sun May 18 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6j (RPL/2)

1412: - SCLS is added;
1413: - DRWS now uses COLS to draw 2D graphics;
1414: - PPAR and SPAR are written. SPAR returns a list that contains the
1415: size of the statistical matrix (or "UNAVALAIBLE" if there is any
1416: statistical variable, or "DISABLED" if its type is not one of the type of
1417: a statistical matrix.) and XCOL and YCOL parameters. Warning: [[]] SIZE
1418: returns { 1 0 } and it is not a bug, because a null matrix contains _one_
1419: null line ! Thus, [[]] STOS SPAR returns { { 1 0 } 1 2 };
1420: - EXTERNAL intrinsic is added. Warning: by default, extern functions are
1421: disabled. Arguments of EXTERNAL are case sensitive because the external
1422: interface is written in C. { ext_sinus } EXTERNAL does not replace the list
1423: of known external functions but add the new list to the last. { "all" }
1424: EXTERNAL allows all external functions and { "none" } EXTERNAL removes all
1425: external names of the known functions;
1426: - mkrplso.in is modified.
1427: * Sun Apr 20 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6h (RPL/2)
1428: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
1429: - a minor mistake is fixed in recherche_instruction_suivante();

1441: VISIT does not find a name in level 1;
1442: - configure.in script is modified to add a new test (--enable-debug
1443: flag). Configured with this fleg, RPL/2 will be built with electric-fences;
1444: - GETR (get row[s]) and GETC (get column[s]) are added. These new instructions
1445: extract a part of a matrix. Syntax: [[ 1 2 3 ][ 2 3 4 ]] { 1 } GETR or
1446: 'MATRIX' { 2 2 3 } GETR;
1447: - LOGSCALE intrinsic is improved and now, it can be used as
1448: { "main" "auxiliary" X Y } LOGSCALE;
1449: - SCALE intrinsic is used to fix the limits of a graphic. Its syntax is the
1450: same than AXES:
1451: { { 60 "ticsonly" 2 } { "automatic" "ticsonly" 10 } } axes
1452: { "auxiliary" { 60 "ticsonly" "default" } { "automatic" } } axes
1453: { { -10 10 } "automatic" } SCALE.
1454: Warning, it is not possible to ask a logarithmic scale with this intrinsic
1455: because it changes only the dimension of the screen. To have a logarithmic
1456: scale, you must use LOGSCALE intrinsic:
1457: { X } LOGSCALE gives a semi-log screen, { "auxiliary" X Y } gives a log-log
1458: screen on second scale;
1459: - { X X } autoscale and { Y Y } logscale are now invalid;
1460: - *D is added (depth multiplication, for 3D graphics);
1461: - a new intrinsic (*S) is added. It changes the scale of a graphic (X, Y
1462: and Z axes). The result of *S is the same than DUP DUP *H *W *D;
1463: - a major bug is fixed in GETI instrinsic when it is used with a name
1464: that contains a matrix or a vector (bad upper bounds conditions in
1465: incrementation);
1466: - DISP intrinsic now uses the 33-th flag. When it is not set
1467: (default), a final carriage return is sent to the terminal;
1468: - AXES intrinsic only takes a list that can contains the keywork
1469: "main" or "auxiliary". Before this modification, this keyword was in
1470: the first stack level;
1471: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
1472: - in appel_gnuplot(), stdin is closed when gnuplot is called with -raise
1473: option;
1474: - LAST is now disabled in the main loop of INT intrinsic;
1475: - expm1 and lnp1 are rewritten to use expm1 and log1p from math.h.
1476: * Sun Apr 6 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6f (RPL/2)
1477: - a major bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. It occurs with DRAW
1478: intrinsic when the equation cannot be evaluated (for example 'SIN(X)/X'
1479: in 0);
1480: - LAST is disabled in the main loop of DRAW intrinsic;
1481: - a major bug is fixed in DRAW intrinsic. When an error occurs in the
1482: evaluation of an equation, the system stack is returned corrupted to the
1483: sequencer;
1484: - the same minor bug is fixed in FOR and START. It only occurs when the limits
1485: of a loop are not integer or real.
1486: * Sun Mar 31 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6e (RPL/2)
1487: - the compilation stage aborts with an error message when two definitions
1488: have the same name. To improve the compilation() subroutine, I have to
1489: add some tests in gestion_variables.c;
1490: - recherche_type() subroutine ad some other connex subroutines are improved.
1491: Now, some syntax errors about object are caught and do not perform sequencer
1492: hangup;
1493: - readline is upgraded (minor compilation bug with recent gcc);
1494: - Makefile.am's and configure.in scripts are improved.
1495: * Fri Mar 14 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6d (RPL/2)
1496: - DRWS intrinsic is written. Two datastyles are associated: SCATTER (2D
1497: and 3D) and HISTOGRAM (only 2D, but 3 columns are accepted, the third shown
1498: the boxwidth, 1 by default);
1499: - recherche_type() is rewritten to be faster;
1500: - gsl is upgraded (release 1.3);
1501: - ncurses is upgraded and patched (release 5.3);
1502: - recherche_instruction_suivante() is fixed (string research with included
1503: '"') and rewritten to be faster;
1504: - appel_gnuplot() is fixed. When no graphic was available, it returned a
1505: segfault.
1506: * Sun Mar 9 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6c (RPL/2)
1507: - RPL/2 is compiled by gcc-3.2.2 and seems to work;
