276: * Thu Apr 14 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.22 (RPL/2)
277: - by default, RPL/2 uses "NONE" IMPLICIT when it's started in batch mode and
278: "ALL" IMPLICIT when it runs in interactive mode;
279: - when "NONE" IMPLICIT is set, STO intrinsic raises an error when it is used
280: to create or modify a global variable. Now, with "NONE" IMPLICIT, you have
281: to use SAVE to manipulate global variables;
282: - replace erroneous TAB by TBL in evaluation() and formateur_fichier()
283: subroutines;
284: - fix major memory access violation in evaluation subroutine. Only occurs
285: when 'X(i,j)' is evaluated on a matrix and when (i,j) points out of bounds;
286: - fix major bug in evaluation subroutine. 'X(i)' returns execution error
287: when X was a vector or a table.

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

337: parent process was not interrupted if it is not group master process. To fix
338: this bug, SIGINJECT signal is not sent by child process but by control thread
339: in parent process;
340: - minor bug is fixed in data injection (POKE) that does not work as expected
341: when child process is protected by NRPROC.
342: * Thu Aug 26 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.18 (RPL/2)
343: - --enable-sysv-sems is added to configure script to use SystemV semaphores
344: functions instead of POSIX functions. This function is disabled or forced on
345: systems that does not provide correct POSIX or SysV semaphores subsystem;
346: - a dirty but not quick patch is written to workaround broken siginfo
347: structures. This patch has been successfully tested. It uses a segment of
348: shared memory (Posix or SysV) and some semaphores (Posix or SysV) by process
349: (Unix PID);
350: - some OpenBSD's hacks are added;
351: - broken siginfo->si_pid field is now checked by configure script;

370: a name of RPL/2 routine;
371: - major bug is fixed in global variable creation subroutine. When a global
372: variable was created and when a local variable existed with the same name,
373: computed address of global variable was wrong;
374: - src/Makefile.am is modified to avoid a bug on several systems. libptmalloc3
375: is forced in front of all libraries.

380: caught;
381: - major bug is fixed in analyse() subroutine. When evaluation() returned error
382: in a compiled program, analyse() caught this error twice and randomly aborted
383: with a segmentation error;
384: - TRIM and TOKENIZE replace both '\n' and '\t' by regular spaces;
385: - ATEXIT subroutine begins with an implicit CSTOP to avoid multiple stop
386: signals;
387: - memory leak is fixed in ROW+. It only occurs when a row is added to an empty
388: matrix.
389: * Thu Jun 24 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.16 (RPL/2)

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

434: information about shared variable was not copied to new processus structure;
435: - some little memory leaks are fixed in evaluation(), recherche_type() and
436: sequenceur(). They only occured when syntax error were caught;
437: - IMPLICIT causes execution error instead system error;
438: - Hurd support is improved but currently broken because Hurd does not support
439: SIG_INFO. Work in progress;
440: - OpenBSD specific support is removed from sources;
441: - support for Mac OS X and Windows/Cygwin is added.
442: * Wed Apr 07 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.13 (RPL/2)

481: * Tue Mar 09 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.12 (RPL/2)
482: - in formatted file, string format returned a variable length string even if
483: format was 'CHARACTER*(n)' (n characters string). Now, 'CHARACTER*(*)' returns
484: a variable length string and 'CHARACTER*(n)' a fixed length string;
485: - keyed access files support is added. Currently, only formatted files are
486: supported;
487: - direct access files support is added. Currenlty, these files can only be used
488: in formatted mode;

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

535: - minor bug is fixed in DAEMON intrinsic. When a program was daemonized, all
536: signals sent to main process were not caught because DAEMON did not replace
537: old pid by new one;
538: - major bug is fixed in IFERR/THEN/ELSE/END. Only occurs in expression
539: evaluation when an error is reported from a subroutine in another subroutine.
540: For example, error was not caught in following program when it is executed with
541: -p option :
542: TEST << iferr TEST2 then end >>
543: TEST2 << 0 inv >>
544: - major bug is fixed in variable management. Some local variables were
545: seen as global ones;

547: script file contains a multibyte character;
548: - IN intrinsic is added;
549: - major bug is fixed in SAME intrinsic : << 1 >> DUP SAME and 'E' DUP SAME
550: returned false ;
551: - major bug is fixed in RETURN intrinsic. It only occurs in compiled
552: programs;
553: - major bug is fixed in NEG intrinsic. NEG did not make a copy of its arguments;
554: - regression is fixed in compilation(). "\\" was analysed as '"' '\' '\"' and

562: - major bug is fixed in OPEN (TCP/IPv4 sockets).
563: * Mon Nov 30 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.7 (RPL/2)
564: - DISP now locks stdout;
565: - rpliconv is added to replace standard iconv provided by operating system.
566: Indeed, conversion between different encodages requires transliteration
567: that is not offered by some iconv utility;
568: - CURRENC and RECODE intrinsics have been written to allow strings conversions;
569: - bug is fixed in SYSEVAL. When execvp() returns (for example when arg[0] can

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

577: set);
578: - LOCALIZATION, UCASE and LCASE are added;

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

607: a freed semaphore and corrupts heap;
608: - CLRERR is added to erase previous errors;
609: - ERRN and ERRM return exception message and number;
610: - major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. All signal are now bufferised
611: when semaphore_liste_threads is null to avoid deadlock. This bug only
612: occured when STOP was sent to a dying thread or process (when this thread or
613: process was running retrait_thread());
614: - matrix rank is computed before matrix inversion;
615: - file locks are added to stdin and stdout. stderr is not locked because
616: all messages written by signal handlers are sent to stderr;

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

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

758: in three new intrinsics : SQLCONNECT, SQLQUERY and SQLDISCONNECT. Please note
759: that all programs that worked with old SQL intrinsic can now work with
760: SQLQUERY. With all new programs, you can open a real connection to databases;
761: - NRPROC is added. This new intrinsic is used to catch error from child
762: process. Without NRPROC, any errors returned by child process cause
763: main process to abort;
764: - SPAWN is added. This new intrinsic is used to launch a new thread (DETACH
765: starts a new process). There are no mutexes in RPL/2 because all spawned process
766: use specific context. Nevertheless, shared variables and associated mutexes
767: should be added;
768: - -D flag and DAEMONIZE intrinsic have been added;

1117: or purge actions. New PARAMETER and VARIABLE intrinsics are modified
1118: versions of PROTECT and UNPROTECT that only deal with global variables
1119: (see RCL/SAVE);
1120: - variable management routines have been rewritten. The new ones are
1121: uncompatible with the old ones. Before these changes, a local variable
1122: was exported to a child subroutine, but cannot be modified into this
1123: child subroutine. Now, a local variable is accessible only in its subroutine;
1124: - SAVE intrinsic is added to manipulate global variables;

1520: - C and H source files now include vim parameters;
1521: - vim syntax file is modified to include new intrinsics;
1522: - static archive is modified to include all required libraries needed by
1523: RPL/2.
1524: * Sun May 4 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6i (RPL/2)
1525: - '=' is added and tested;
1526: - XCOL and YCOL are added;
1527: - a minor bug in analyse_syntaxique() is fixed;
1528: - THEN is modified to return an error when ELSE appears in a CASE/THEN/END
1529: structure. ELSE is modified to return an error when ELSE appears in
1530: an ELSE/END structure;
1531: - a major bug is fixed in CYCLE;
1532: - EXIT is written. When EXIT appears in a defined loop (FOR or START), the
1533: sequencer continues after the end of this loop;
1534: - SCLS is added;
1535: - DRWS now uses COLS to draw 2D graphics;
1536: - PPAR and SPAR are written. SPAR returns a list that contains the
1537: size of the statistical matrix (or "UNAVALAIBLE" if there is any
1538: statistical variable, or "DISABLED" if its type is not one of the type of
1539: a statistical matrix.) and XCOL and YCOL parameters. Warning: [[]] SIZE
1540: returns { 1 0 } and it is not a bug, because a null matrix contains _one_
1541: null line ! Thus, [[]] STOS SPAR returns { { 1 0 } 1 2 };
1542: - EXTERNAL intrinsic is added. Warning: by default, extern functions are
1543: disabled. Arguments of EXTERNAL are case sensitive because the external
1544: interface is written in C. { ext_sinus } EXTERNAL does not replace the list
1545: of known external functions but add the new list to the last. { "all" }
1546: EXTERNAL allows all external functions and { "none" } EXTERNAL removes all
1547: external names of the known functions;
1548: - mkrplso.in is modified.
1549: * Sun Apr 20 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6h (RPL/2)
1550: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
1551: - a minor mistake is fixed in recherche_instruction_suivante();
1552: - some minor memory leaks are fixed in recherche_type() function. They only
1553: occurs when a syntax error is detected;
1554: - #error and #warning preprocessor macros are added;
1555: - INCR and DECR are written (with integer or variable argument);
1556: - CSWP and RSWP are added and tested;
1557: - a minor bug is fixed in analyse.c;
1558: - DEBIAN/control is added to build debian package;
1559: - SCALE is fixed and improved ("automatic" keyword);
1560: - PUTC and PUTR new intrinsics are added.
1561: * Sun Apr 13 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6g (RPL/2)
1562: - a very minor bug is fixed in VISIT intrinsic. It only occurs when
1563: VISIT does not find a name in level 1;
1564: - configure.in script is modified to add a new test (--enable-debug
1565: flag). Configured with this fleg, RPL/2 will be built with electric-fences;
1566: - GETR (get row[s]) and GETC (get column[s]) are added. These new instructions
1567: extract a part of a matrix. Syntax: [[ 1 2 3 ][ 2 3 4 ]] { 1 } GETR or
1568: 'MATRIX' { 2 2 3 } GETR;
1569: - LOGSCALE intrinsic is improved and now, it can be used as
1570: { "main" "auxiliary" X Y } LOGSCALE;
1571: - SCALE intrinsic is used to fix the limits of a graphic. Its syntax is the
1572: same than AXES:
1573: { { 60 "ticsonly" 2 } { "automatic" "ticsonly" 10 } } axes
1574: { "auxiliary" { 60 "ticsonly" "default" } { "automatic" } } axes
1575: { { -10 10 } "automatic" } SCALE.
1576: Warning, it is not possible to ask a logarithmic scale with this intrinsic
1577: because it changes only the dimension of the screen. To have a logarithmic
1578: scale, you must use LOGSCALE intrinsic:
1579: { X } LOGSCALE gives a semi-log screen, { "auxiliary" X Y } gives a log-log
1580: screen on second scale;
1581: - { X X } autoscale and { Y Y } logscale are now invalid;
1582: - *D is added (depth multiplication, for 3D graphics);
1583: - a new intrinsic (*S) is added. It changes the scale of a graphic (X, Y
1584: and Z axes). The result of *S is the same than DUP DUP *H *W *D;
1585: - a major bug is fixed in GETI instrinsic when it is used with a name
1586: that contains a matrix or a vector (bad upper bounds conditions in
1587: incrementation);
1588: - DISP intrinsic now uses the 33-th flag. When it is not set
1589: (default), a final carriage return is sent to the terminal;
1590: - AXES intrinsic only takes a list that can contains the keywork
1591: "main" or "auxiliary". Before this modification, this keyword was in
1592: the first stack level;
1593: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
1594: - in appel_gnuplot(), stdin is closed when gnuplot is called with -raise
1595: option;
1596: - LAST is now disabled in the main loop of INT intrinsic;
1597: - expm1 and lnp1 are rewritten to use expm1 and log1p from math.h.
1598: * Sun Apr 6 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6f (RPL/2)
1599: - a major bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. It occurs with DRAW
1600: intrinsic when the equation cannot be evaluated (for example 'SIN(X)/X'
1601: in 0);
1602: - LAST is disabled in the main loop of DRAW intrinsic;
1603: - a major bug is fixed in DRAW intrinsic. When an error occurs in the
1604: evaluation of an equation, the system stack is returned corrupted to the
1605: sequencer;
1606: - the same minor bug is fixed in FOR and START. It only occurs when the limits
1607: of a loop are not integer or real.
1608: * Sun Mar 31 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6e (RPL/2)
1609: - the compilation stage aborts with an error message when two definitions
1610: have the same name. To improve the compilation() subroutine, I have to
1611: add some tests in gestion_variables.c;
1612: - recherche_type() subroutine ad some other connex subroutines are improved.
1613: Now, some syntax errors about object are caught and do not perform sequencer
1614: hangup;

1616: - Makefile.am's and configure.in scripts are improved.
1617: * Fri Mar 14 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6d (RPL/2)
1618: - DRWS intrinsic is written. Two datastyles are associated: SCATTER (2D
1619: and 3D) and HISTOGRAM (only 2D, but 3 columns are accepted, the third shown
1620: the boxwidth, 1 by default);
1621: - recherche_type() is rewritten to be faster;
1622: - gsl is upgraded (release 1.3);
1623: - ncurses is upgraded and patched (release 5.3);
1624: - recherche_instruction_suivante() is fixed (string research with included
1625: '"') and rewritten to be faster;

1636: - a minor bug is fixed in evaluation subroutine;
1637: - vim syntax file is improved;
1638: - DRAW (wireframe section) is fixed. When an error occurs in the evaluation
1639: of a 3D-graphic (for example 'SIN(R)/R' with 'R=SQRT(X**2+Y**2)' in X=0 and
1640: Y=0), no graph was procuced (it results from a bug in gnuplot, and this fix
1641: is a quick and dirty workaround...);
1642: - RETURN intrinsic is modified to fix a trouble in interactive mode;
1643: - rplconvert is improved.
