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

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

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

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

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

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

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

394: RPL/2 aborts because the last Z is undefined and not protected by ''.
395: By default, implicit is set to "ALL";
396: - sqlite is upgraded to 3.6.23.1;
397: - openssl is upgraded to 1.0.0;
398: - major bug is fixed in RETURN intrinsic. It only occurs in evaluation
399: subroutine;
400: - table variable can now be sorted by SORT;
401: - some regressions between libtool 1.x and 2.x are fixed by workarouds in
402: Makefiles;
403: - -a command line option analyzes program (structure and syntax) and
404: sends preprocessor output to standard output. This option is used by
405: rplc (RPL/2 compiler).
406: * Tue Mar 09 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.12 (RPL/2)
407: - in formatted file, string format returned a variable length string even if
408: format was 'CHARACTER*(n)' (n characters string). Now, 'CHARACTER*(*)' returns
409: a variable length string and 'CHARACTER*(n)' a fixed length string;
410: - keyed access files support is added. Currently, only formatted files are
411: supported;
412: - direct access files support is added. Currenlty, these files can only be used
413: in formatted mode;
414: - virtual variables are now writte in UTF-8 and all special characters
415: in string are escaped;
416: - all formatted files are now converted into UTF-8;
417: - all file and unix socket names created by RPL/2 are now UTF-8 compliant;
418: - RPL/2 tools (rpliconv, rplfile, rplpp and rplconvert) are now checked before
419: each execution (md5 and sha1 sums) to enhance security. If one of these tools
420: have been modified between RPL/2 compilation and current execution, RPL/2 aborts
421: on a non recoverable system error;
422: - openssl and sqlite3 libraries are added;
423: - RPL_HOME env variable is added. When RPL/2 is called from librpl, this
424: variable indicates RPL/2 root directory. If it is not set, root path
425: is given by configure script (d_exec_path);
426: * Thu Mar 03 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.11 (RPL/2)
427: - configure.in and makefile.am's are modified to add Cygwin support. Interix
428: support is broken;

430: - TeX files are now written in UTF-8 even default locale differs;
431: - minor bug is fixed in ->STR (escaped characters);
432: - minor bug is fixed in ->Q intrinsic. Resultat is returned as integer
433: fraction intead real one;
434: - SIGN now returns (0,0) instead (nan,nan) when complex argument is null;
435: - Makefile.am are modified to authorize parallel builds;
436: - minor bug is fixed in CR intrinsic. CR sends a carriage return to printer
437: and writes warning to standard output;
438: * Wed Feb 10 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.10 (RPL/2)

442: - file-5.03 is patched to avoid bus error on systems that require memory
443: alignment;
444: - minor bug is fixed in evaluation(). Error returned by RPL/C external functions
445: were able to be avoided by evaluation routine.

455: - sockets options are now set before bind();
456: - shutdown() is added to all connected sockets;
457: - minor bug is fixed in SUB intrinsic (segfault when SUB is called with
458: list argument and inexistant elements).
459: * Fri Jan 08 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.8 (RPL/2)
460: - minor bug is fixed in DAEMON intrinsic. When a program was daemonized, all
461: signals sent to main process were not caught because DAEMON did not replace
462: old pid by new one;
463: - major bug is fixed in IFERR/THEN/ELSE/END. Only occurs in expression
464: evaluation when an error is reported from a subroutine in another subroutine.
465: For example, error was not caught in following program when it is executed with
466: -p option :
467: TEST << iferr TEST2 then end >>
468: TEST2 << 0 inv >>
469: - major bug is fixed in variable management. Some local variables were
470: seen as global ones;
471: - major bug is fixed in rplcore. Rplcore entered in dead lock when
472: script file contains a multibyte character;
473: - IN intrinsic is added;
474: - major bug is fixed in SAME intrinsic : << 1 >> DUP SAME and 'E' DUP SAME
475: returned false ;
476: - major bug is fixed in RETURN intrinsic. It only occurs in compiled
477: programs;
478: - major bug is fixed in NEG intrinsic. NEG did not make a copy of its arguments;
479: - regression is fixed in compilation(). "\\" was analysed as '"' '\' '\"' and
480: strings were never closed;
481: - some bugs have been fixed in file management;

483: - major bug is fixed in -A command line option (NULL character is missing);
484: - minor bug is fixed in rpliconv and RECODE intrinsic. All transliterations are
485: made by blocks (1024 bytes). When an incomplete multibyte sequence is
486: encountered at end of block, subroutine aborts with an execution error;
487: - major bug is fixed in OPEN (TCP/IPv4 sockets).
488: * Mon Nov 30 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.7 (RPL/2)
489: - DISP now locks stdout;
490: - rpliconv is added to replace standard iconv provided by operating system.
491: Indeed, conversion between different encodages requires transliteration
492: that is not offered by some iconv utility;
493: - CURRENC and RECODE intrinsics have been written to allow strings conversions;
494: - bug is fixed in SYSEVAL. When execvp() returns (for example when arg[0] can
495: not be found), SYSEVAL enters in a dead lock;
496: - fprintf is replaced by some functions that allow transliterations between
497: locales;
498: - '"' can now be used in strings ("\"");
499: - iconv is called with -c in preprocessor stage. It is done to write
500: CGI scripts with RPL/2 because locale charset is set to ANSI_X3.4-1968;
501: - double free is fixed in liberation() (type SQL, only occurs when locale is
502: set);
503: - LOCALIZATION, UCASE and LCASE are added;
504: - major bug is fixed in EXIT intrinsic that was able to return a false
505: execution error in compiled scripts (only in DO/UNTIL and REPEAT/WHILE loops);
506: - major bug is fixed in wrapper_instruction_intrinseque(). When intrinsic() was
507: used in onLoading from shared library, USE was pushed on stack as algebraic
508: expression;
509: - libiconv is upgraded to 1.13.1;
510: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.2.6;
511: - gsl is upgraded to 1.13.
512: * Mon Sep 28 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.6 (RPL/2)
513: - pipe() is overwritten by a macro to avoid a system error. Communication
514: between process are done with pipes and these pipes are managed by a
515: specific asynchrone thread. If a script try to create more threads than
516: management thread can destroy, you can quickly achieve maximum number of
517: opened files and pipe() shall return a system error. This macro tries to create
518: pipes. If pipe() function returns an error, macro waits and retries. If
519: number of retries is greater than a hardcoded value, macro returns an error;
520: - major bug (deadlock) is fixed in process and thread management. I hope
521: this bug shall be the last one;
522: - major bug is fixed in DET intrinsic (determinant was computed without LU
523: diagonalization);
524: - SWAPCNTXT is added;
525: - minor bug is fixed in Makefile.am (licences rule).
526: * Wed Sep 09 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.5 (RPL/2)
527: - some bugfixes are added in process management;
528: - all process management is rewritten to avoid usage of defunct process
529: or thread number;
530: - new major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. Sometimes, when retrait_thread()
531: was called before a pending interruption5 (SIGFSTOP), signal handler uses
532: a freed semaphore and corrupts heap;
533: - CLRERR is added to erase previous errors;
534: - ERRN and ERRM return exception message and number;
535: - major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. All signal are now bufferised
536: when semaphore_liste_threads is null to avoid deadlock. This bug only
537: occured when STOP was sent to a dying thread or process (when this thread or
538: process was running retrait_thread());
539: - matrix rank is computed before matrix inversion;
540: - file locks are added to stdin and stdout. stderr is not locked because
541: all messages written by signal handlers are sent to stderr;
542: - configure.in script is modified to test gcc version and avoid a bug in
543: gcc older than 4.4;
544: - some benchmarks have been done :

616: SIGFSTP (with a nullified siginfo structure) instead of SIGHUP when control
617: process is killed;
618: - abs() macro is modified to avoid multiple evaluation. Your C compiler has to
619: know typeof() intrinsic function. This function is not standard but exists
620: under Sun Studio, gcc, and maybe some others compilers. If this function does
621: not exist on your compiler, you can change its definition by old one in

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

683: in three new intrinsics : SQLCONNECT, SQLQUERY and SQLDISCONNECT. Please note
684: that all programs that worked with old SQL intrinsic can now work with
685: SQLQUERY. With all new programs, you can open a real connection to databases;
686: - NRPROC is added. This new intrinsic is used to catch error from child
687: process. Without NRPROC, any errors returned by child process cause
688: main process to abort;
689: - SPAWN is added. This new intrinsic is used to launch a new thread (DETACH
690: starts a new process). There are no mutexes in RPL/2 because all spawned process
691: use specific context. Nevertheless, shared variables and associated mutexes
692: should be added;

780: DETACH intrinsic enters in a definitive dead lock. I have no idea to write a
781: workaround for this major bug. Nevertheless, all others capabilities seems to
782: work fine;
783: - '->' is modified to return error when program tries to initialiaze two
784: variables with the same name like
785: 1 0 -> I I << ... >>;

805: - VERIFY intrinsic is written;
806: - PSHCNTXT and PULCNTXT are added (PSHCNTXT pushes context on an
807: internal contexts stack, PULCNTXT pulls contexts from this internal stack).
808: Main usages of these intrinsics are in conjonction with IFERR or with
809: software interrupts;
810: - HEAD, TAIL and REVLIST intrinsics are added;

831: before starting interrupt evaluation;
832: - -f parameter is added when iconv is called;
833: - as old file program was bugged, a new option is added to configure script.
834: When configure is called with --disable-encoding-autodetection, make does not
835: try to detect source encoding. Please, do not use if RPL/2 can be built
836: without this option !
837: - new garbage collector (and more efficient) is written;
838: - configure script is modified to be usable on NetBSD 4.0, but as NetBSD does
839: not support real time signals, RPL/2 cannot use multitasking functions;
840: - error returned by preprocessor are now catched by RPL/2;
841: - -p option is added. With this option, all scripts are compiled before
842: RPL/2 starts evaluation. HALT cannot be used with -p, but all programs run
843: 40% faster;
844: - read and write operations in pipe() are rewritten to be sure that such
845: operations are atomic;
846: - minor bug is fixed in LOGSCALE. With {} LOGSCALE, all scales have to be
847: linear;
848: - major bug is fixed in gestion_processus.c (some pipes were not closed).

1040: With STATIC, next variables created by '->' are static;
1041: - PROTECT and UNPROTECT are added to protect variables against write
1042: or purge actions. New PARAMETER and VARIABLE intrinsics are modified
1043: versions of PROTECT and UNPROTECT that only deal with global variables
1044: (see RCL/SAVE);
1045: - variable management routines have been rewritten. The new ones are
1046: uncompatible with the old ones. Before these changes, a local variable
1047: was exported to a child subroutine, but cannot be modified into this
1048: child subroutine. Now, a local variable is accessible only in its subroutine;
1049: - SAVE intrinsic is added to manipulate global variables;

1370: fine...);
1371: - NOT is not correctly formatted in formateur.c:
1372: Z NOT -> 'NOT Z' but 'A+Z' NOT -> 'NOT A+Z' and 'NOT Z+A' -> 'NOTZ+A'
1373: with a NOTZ function !
1374: * Sun Aug 10 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre7c (RPL/2)

1377: - RPL/2 is tested with efence and valgrind;
1378: - configure.in script is modified;
1379: - units.c is modified to be built by gcc-3.3. I only have removed a #if 0/#endif

1440: appear on the same figure). The same mistake is fixed in DRWS intrinsic;
1441: - LAST is disabled in evaluation subroutine (EVAL and ->NUM intrinsics).
1442: * Sun May 18 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6j (RPL/2)

1459: - SCLS is added;
1460: - DRWS now uses COLS to draw 2D graphics;
1461: - PPAR and SPAR are written. SPAR returns a list that contains the
1462: size of the statistical matrix (or "UNAVALAIBLE" if there is any
1463: statistical variable, or "DISABLED" if its type is not one of the type of
1464: a statistical matrix.) and XCOL and YCOL parameters. Warning: [[]] SIZE
1465: returns { 1 0 } and it is not a bug, because a null matrix contains _one_
1466: null line ! Thus, [[]] STOS SPAR returns { { 1 0 } 1 2 };
1467: - EXTERNAL intrinsic is added. Warning: by default, extern functions are
1468: disabled. Arguments of EXTERNAL are case sensitive because the external
1469: interface is written in C. { ext_sinus } EXTERNAL does not replace the list
1470: of known external functions but add the new list to the last. { "all" }
1471: EXTERNAL allows all external functions and { "none" } EXTERNAL removes all
1472: external names of the known functions;
1473: - mkrplso.in is modified.
1474: * Sun Apr 20 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6h (RPL/2)
1475: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
1476: - a minor mistake is fixed in recherche_instruction_suivante();

1486: * Sun Apr 13 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6g (RPL/2)
1487: - a very minor bug is fixed in VISIT intrinsic. It only occurs when
1488: VISIT does not find a name in level 1;
1489: - configure.in script is modified to add a new test (--enable-debug
1490: flag). Configured with this fleg, RPL/2 will be built with electric-fences;
1491: - GETR (get row[s]) and GETC (get column[s]) are added. These new instructions
1492: extract a part of a matrix. Syntax: [[ 1 2 3 ][ 2 3 4 ]] { 1 } GETR or
1493: 'MATRIX' { 2 2 3 } GETR;
1494: - LOGSCALE intrinsic is improved and now, it can be used as
1495: { "main" "auxiliary" X Y } LOGSCALE;
1496: - SCALE intrinsic is used to fix the limits of a graphic. Its syntax is the
1497: same than AXES:
1498: { { 60 "ticsonly" 2 } { "automatic" "ticsonly" 10 } } axes
1499: { "auxiliary" { 60 "ticsonly" "default" } { "automatic" } } axes
1500: { { -10 10 } "automatic" } SCALE.
1501: Warning, it is not possible to ask a logarithmic scale with this intrinsic
1502: because it changes only the dimension of the screen. To have a logarithmic
1503: scale, you must use LOGSCALE intrinsic:
1504: { X } LOGSCALE gives a semi-log screen, { "auxiliary" X Y } gives a log-log
1505: screen on second scale;
1506: - { X X } autoscale and { Y Y } logscale are now invalid;
1507: - *D is added (depth multiplication, for 3D graphics);
1508: - a new intrinsic (*S) is added. It changes the scale of a graphic (X, Y
1509: and Z axes). The result of *S is the same than DUP DUP *H *W *D;
1510: - a major bug is fixed in GETI instrinsic when it is used with a name
1511: that contains a matrix or a vector (bad upper bounds conditions in
