365: subroutines;
366: - fix major memory access violation in evaluation subroutine. Only occurs
367: when 'X(i,j)' is evaluated on a matrix and when (i,j) points out of bounds;

398: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.4.2 due to major bugs.
399: * Thu Sep 23 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.19 (RPL/2)
400: - due to a very strange bug I've only seen on Solaris, ptmalloc3 is removed.
401: Solaris libresolv randomly uses ptmalloc3 and system allocator and makes heap
402: corruption. As internal memory management have been improved, a best fit
403: allocator like ptmalloc3 is not required anymore;
404: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.4.1;
405: - deadlock is fixed in signal handlers: same mutex was used in standard
406: subroutines (without protected sections by sigprocmask() or pthread_sigmask())
407: and signal handlers. A new signal handler specific mutex is added;
408: - minor bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. In { X 0 PI }, PI is a function
409: that has to be evaluated by ->NUM;
410: - rplfile build process is modify to be sure that rplfile is not modified
411: after rpl build stage (to be sure that rplfile checksum is not modified after

416: ABORT now works on eComStation;
417: - sqlite is upgraded to 3.7.2;
418: - bug is fixed in software interrupts. When both process have different PID,
419: parent process was not interrupted if it is not group master process. To fix
420: this bug, SIGINJECT signal is not sent by child process but by control thread
421: in parent process;
422: - minor bug is fixed in data injection (POKE) that does not work as expected
423: when child process is protected by NRPROC.
424: * Thu Aug 26 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.18 (RPL/2)
425: - --enable-sysv-sems is added to configure script to use SystemV semaphores
426: functions instead of POSIX functions. This function is disabled or forced on
427: systems that does not provide correct POSIX or SysV semaphores subsystem;
428: - a dirty but not quick patch is written to workaround broken siginfo
429: structures. This patch has been successfully tested. It uses a segment of
430: shared memory (Posix or SysV) and some semaphores (Posix or SysV) by process
431: (Unix PID);
432: - some OpenBSD's hacks are added;
433: - broken siginfo->si_pid field is now checked by configure script;
434: - SWI now sends SIGCONT to interrupted process to start interrupt without delay;

451: Level 0 and 1 variables adresses were swapped when a global variable masked
452: a name of RPL/2 routine;
453: - major bug is fixed in global variable creation subroutine. When a global
454: variable was created and when a local variable existed with the same name,
455: computed address of global variable was wrong;
456: - src/Makefile.am is modified to avoid a bug on several systems. libptmalloc3
457: is forced in front of all libraries.
458: * Tue Jul 13 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.17 (RPL/2)
459: - BACKTRACE intrinsic is added;
460: - major bug is fixed in SELECT/DEFAULT/END conditional structure. Only occurs
461: when this structure is included in IFERR/THEN/END structure and when an error is
462: caught;
463: - major bug is fixed in analyse() subroutine. When evaluation() returned error
464: in a compiled program, analyse() caught this error twice and randomly aborted
465: with a segmentation error;
466: - TRIM and TOKENIZE replace both '\n' and '\t' by regular spaces;
467: - ATEXIT subroutine begins with an implicit CSTOP to avoid multiple stop
468: signals;
469: - memory leak is fixed in ROW+. It only occurs when a row is added to an empty
470: matrix.
471: * Thu Jun 24 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.16 (RPL/2)

492: - MEMLOCK and MEMUNLOCK are added. MEMLOCK forces a process to remain in memory
493: and to not use swap;
494: - major bug is fixed in sql support. SQL connections were closed in all chield
495: process;
496: - standard allocator (malloc()/free()) is replaced by ptmalloc3 due to some bugs
497: discovered in Solaris thread safe allocators (libmalloc and libumem) that
498: are first fit class allocators. Solaris libmtmalloc works better and is
499: a best fit class allocator but its performance is poor than ptmalloc3
500: performance;
501: - major bug is fixed in ROW+ intrinsic (new row was not added where it
502: should);
503: - minor bugs are fixed in interruptions.c (semaphores values when error is
504: caught);

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

563: * Tue Mar 09 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.12 (RPL/2)
564: - in formatted file, string format returned a variable length string even if
565: format was 'CHARACTER*(n)' (n characters string). Now, 'CHARACTER*(*)' returns
566: a variable length string and 'CHARACTER*(n)' a fixed length string;
567: - keyed access files support is added. Currently, only formatted files are
568: supported;
569: - direct access files support is added. Currenlty, these files can only be used
570: in formatted mode;
571: - virtual variables are now writte in UTF-8 and all special characters
572: in string are escaped;
573: - all formatted files are now converted into UTF-8;
574: - all file and unix socket names created by RPL/2 are now UTF-8 compliant;
575: - RPL/2 tools (rpliconv, rplfile, rplpp and rplconvert) are now checked before
576: each execution (md5 and sha1 sums) to enhance security. If one of these tools
577: have been modified between RPL/2 compilation and current execution, RPL/2 aborts
578: on a non recoverable system error;
579: - openssl and sqlite3 libraries are added;
580: - RPL_HOME env variable is added. When RPL/2 is called from librpl, this
581: variable indicates RPL/2 root directory. If it is not set, root path
582: is given by configure script (d_exec_path);
583: * Thu Mar 03 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.11 (RPL/2)

616: * Fri Jan 08 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.8 (RPL/2)
617: - minor bug is fixed in DAEMON intrinsic. When a program was daemonized, all
618: signals sent to main process were not caught because DAEMON did not replace
619: old pid by new one;
620: - major bug is fixed in IFERR/THEN/ELSE/END. Only occurs in expression
621: evaluation when an error is reported from a subroutine in another subroutine.
622: For example, error was not caught in following program when it is executed with
623: -p option :
624: TEST << iferr TEST2 then end >>
625: TEST2 << 0 inv >>
626: - major bug is fixed in variable management. Some local variables were
627: seen as global ones;
628: - major bug is fixed in rplcore. Rplcore entered in dead lock when
629: script file contains a multibyte character;
630: - IN intrinsic is added;
631: - major bug is fixed in SAME intrinsic : << 1 >> DUP SAME and 'E' DUP SAME
632: returned false ;

640: - major bug is fixed in -A command line option (NULL character is missing);
641: - minor bug is fixed in rpliconv and RECODE intrinsic. All transliterations are
642: made by blocks (1024 bytes). When an incomplete multibyte sequence is
643: encountered at end of block, subroutine aborts with an execution error;
644: - major bug is fixed in OPEN (TCP/IPv4 sockets).
645: * Mon Nov 30 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.7 (RPL/2)
646: - DISP now locks stdout;
647: - rpliconv is added to replace standard iconv provided by operating system.
648: Indeed, conversion between different encodages requires transliteration
649: that is not offered by some iconv utility;
650: - CURRENC and RECODE intrinsics have been written to allow strings conversions;
651: - bug is fixed in SYSEVAL. When execvp() returns (for example when arg[0] can

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

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

685: - all process management is rewritten to avoid usage of defunct process
686: or thread number;
687: - new major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. Sometimes, when retrait_thread()
688: was called before a pending interruption5 (SIGFSTOP), signal handler uses
689: a freed semaphore and corrupts heap;
690: - CLRERR is added to erase previous errors;
691: - ERRN and ERRM return exception message and number;
692: - major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. All signal are now bufferised
693: when semaphore_liste_threads is null to avoid deadlock. This bug only
694: occured when STOP was sent to a dying thread or process (when this thread or
695: process was running retrait_thread());
696: - matrix rank is computed before matrix inversion;
697: - file locks are added to stdin and stdout. stderr is not locked because
698: all messages written by signal handlers are sent to stderr;

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

802: deadlock when a huge amount of threads is launched);
803: - minor bug is fixed in boath START and FOR intrinsic. Only occurs when
804: arguments types are unsupported;

820: static variable that is shared by multiple threads;
821: - '->' intrinsic is improved. All object copies have been avoided;
822: - -n flag is added to catch HUP signal. stderr and stdout are redirected
823: to a file, stdin is redirected to /dev/null when control process is killed;
824: - a mutex is added to each object (before this modification,

841: that all programs that worked with old SQL intrinsic can now work with
842: SQLQUERY. With all new programs, you can open a real connection to databases;
843: - NRPROC is added. This new intrinsic is used to catch error from child
844: process. Without NRPROC, any errors returned by child process cause
845: main process to abort;
846: - SPAWN is added. This new intrinsic is used to launch a new thread (DETACH
847: starts a new process). There are no mutexes in RPL/2 because all spawned process
848: use specific context. Nevertheless, shared variables and associated mutexes
849: should be added;

1144: - external wrapper (rplplot) is written to force usage of gnuplot provided
1145: by RPL/2 if it is built during build process. If this build does not exist,
1146: it tries to launch regular gnuplot;

1524: (less parenthesis);
1525: - rplpp is modified to workaround a mistake in 'which' function (seems to appear
1526: on Debian distribution, but since cpp is in the default path, RPL/2 works
1527: fine...);
1528: - NOT is not correctly formatted in formateur.c:
1529: Z NOT -> 'NOT Z' but 'A+Z' NOT -> 'NOT A+Z' and 'NOT Z+A' -> 'NOTZ+A'
1530: with a NOTZ function !
1531: * Sun Aug 10 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre7c (RPL/2)
1532: - CYCLE is fixed. Now, it is possible to use CYCLE in an expression even
1533: if the main loop is in a program;
1534: - RPL/2 is tested with efence and valgrind;
1535: - configure.in script is modified;
1536: - units.c is modified to be built by gcc-3.3. I only have removed a #if 0/#endif
1537: structure. I don't know why this code was compiled by gcc-3.3... Maybe
1538: another gcc bug...
1539: * Fri Jul 25 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre7b (RPL/2)
1540: - EXIT is fixed. Now, it is possible to use EXIT in an expression when the
1541: main loop is in a program;
1542: - RPL/2 can take its arguments (and command) on the standard input. Try

1568: - major bug is fixed in C->R intrinsic;
1569: - ROW+ and ROW- are added and tested;
1570: - COL+ and COL- are added and tested. Syntax:

1572: 2: integer (number of column to be inserted)
1573: 1: column matrix to be inserted;
1574: - major bug was discovered in interface_gnuplot(). It only occurs when

1583: * Sun Jun 1 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6k (RPL/2)
1584: - SLICESCALE intrinsic is added. Its syntax is
1585: { "automatic" nb_of_levels }
1586: { "discrete" l1 l2 l3 ... }
1587: { "incremental" start incr }
1588: { "incremental" start incr end }
1589: { "automatic" } (default);

1591: - flag 52 is used to automatically update graphics;
1592: - man pages are updated;
1593: - evaluation() is modified to perform evaluation of expressions that contain
1594: '=';
1595: - a minor bug is fixed in AXES intrinsic;
1596: - a minor bug is fixed in DRAW intrinsic (2D and 3D graphics were able to
1597: appear on the same figure). The same mistake is fixed in DRWS intrinsic;
1598: - LAST is disabled in evaluation subroutine (EVAL and ->NUM intrinsics).
1599: * Sun May 18 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6j (RPL/2)
1600: - SLICE intrinsic is added. It is used to draw 3D graphics as contour lines;

1616: - SCLS is added;
1617: - DRWS now uses COLS to draw 2D graphics;
1618: - PPAR and SPAR are written. SPAR returns a list that contains the
1619: size of the statistical matrix (or "UNAVALAIBLE" if there is any
1620: statistical variable, or "DISABLED" if its type is not one of the type of
1621: a statistical matrix.) and XCOL and YCOL parameters. Warning: [[]] SIZE
1622: returns { 1 0 } and it is not a bug, because a null matrix contains _one_
1623: null line ! Thus, [[]] STOS SPAR returns { { 1 0 } 1 2 };
1624: - EXTERNAL intrinsic is added. Warning: by default, extern functions are
1625: disabled. Arguments of EXTERNAL are case sensitive because the external
1626: interface is written in C. { ext_sinus } EXTERNAL does not replace the list
1627: of known external functions but add the new list to the last. { "all" }
1628: EXTERNAL allows all external functions and { "none" } EXTERNAL removes all
1629: external names of the known functions;
1630: - mkrplso.in is modified.
1631: * Sun Apr 20 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6h (RPL/2)
1632: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
1633: - a minor mistake is fixed in recherche_instruction_suivante();
1634: - some minor memory leaks are fixed in recherche_type() function. They only
1635: occurs when a syntax error is detected;

1637: - INCR and DECR are written (with integer or variable argument);
1638: - CSWP and RSWP are added and tested;
1639: - a minor bug is fixed in analyse.c;
1640: - DEBIAN/control is added to build debian package;
1641: - SCALE is fixed and improved ("automatic" keyword);
1642: - PUTC and PUTR new intrinsics are added.
1643: * Sun Apr 13 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6g (RPL/2)
1644: - a very minor bug is fixed in VISIT intrinsic. It only occurs when
1645: VISIT does not find a name in level 1;
1646: - configure.in script is modified to add a new test (--enable-debug
1647: flag). Configured with this fleg, RPL/2 will be built with electric-fences;
1648: - GETR (get row[s]) and GETC (get column[s]) are added. These new instructions
1649: extract a part of a matrix. Syntax: [[ 1 2 3 ][ 2 3 4 ]] { 1 } GETR or
1650: 'MATRIX' { 2 2 3 } GETR;
1651: - LOGSCALE intrinsic is improved and now, it can be used as
1652: { "main" "auxiliary" X Y } LOGSCALE;
1653: - SCALE intrinsic is used to fix the limits of a graphic. Its syntax is the
1654: same than AXES:
1655: { { 60 "ticsonly" 2 } { "automatic" "ticsonly" 10 } } axes
1656: { "auxiliary" { 60 "ticsonly" "default" } { "automatic" } } axes
1657: { { -10 10 } "automatic" } SCALE.
1658: Warning, it is not possible to ask a logarithmic scale with this intrinsic
1659: because it changes only the dimension of the screen. To have a logarithmic
1660: scale, you must use LOGSCALE intrinsic:
1661: { X } LOGSCALE gives a semi-log screen, { "auxiliary" X Y } gives a log-log
1662: screen on second scale;
1663: - { X X } autoscale and { Y Y } logscale are now invalid;
1664: - *D is added (depth multiplication, for 3D graphics);
1665: - a new intrinsic (*S) is added. It changes the scale of a graphic (X, Y
1666: and Z axes). The result of *S is the same than DUP DUP *H *W *D;
1667: - a major bug is fixed in GETI instrinsic when it is used with a name
1668: that contains a matrix or a vector (bad upper bounds conditions in
1669: incrementation);
1670: - DISP intrinsic now uses the 33-th flag. When it is not set
1671: (default), a final carriage return is sent to the terminal;
1672: - AXES intrinsic only takes a list that can contains the keywork
1673: "main" or "auxiliary". Before this modification, this keyword was in
1674: the first stack level;
1675: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
1676: - in appel_gnuplot(), stdin is closed when gnuplot is called with -raise
1677: option;
1678: - LAST is now disabled in the main loop of INT intrinsic;
1679: - expm1 and lnp1 are rewritten to use expm1 and log1p from math.h.
1680: * Sun Apr 6 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6f (RPL/2)
1681: - a major bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. It occurs with DRAW
1682: intrinsic when the equation cannot be evaluated (for example 'SIN(X)/X'
1683: in 0);
1684: - LAST is disabled in the main loop of DRAW intrinsic;
1685: - a major bug is fixed in DRAW intrinsic. When an error occurs in the
1686: evaluation of an equation, the system stack is returned corrupted to the
1687: sequencer;
1688: - the same minor bug is fixed in FOR and START. It only occurs when the limits
1689: of a loop are not integer or real.
1690: * Sun Mar 31 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6e (RPL/2)
1691: - the compilation stage aborts with an error message when two definitions
1692: have the same name. To improve the compilation() subroutine, I have to
1693: add some tests in gestion_variables.c;
1694: - recherche_type() subroutine ad some other connex subroutines are improved.
1695: Now, some syntax errors about object are caught and do not perform sequencer
1696: hangup;
1697: - readline is upgraded (minor compilation bug with recent gcc);
1698: - Makefile.am's and configure.in scripts are improved.
1699: * Fri Mar 14 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6d (RPL/2)
1700: - DRWS intrinsic is written. Two datastyles are associated: SCATTER (2D
1701: and 3D) and HISTOGRAM (only 2D, but 3 columns are accepted, the third shown
1702: the boxwidth, 1 by default);
1703: - recherche_type() is rewritten to be faster;
1704: - gsl is upgraded (release 1.3);
1705: - ncurses is upgraded and patched (release 5.3);
1706: - recherche_instruction_suivante() is fixed (string research with included
1707: '"') and rewritten to be faster;
1708: - appel_gnuplot() is fixed. When no graphic was available, it returned a
1709: segfault.
1710: * Sun Mar 9 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6c (RPL/2)

1718: - a minor bug is fixed in evaluation subroutine;
1719: - vim syntax file is improved;
1720: - DRAW (wireframe section) is fixed. When an error occurs in the evaluation
1721: of a 3D-graphic (for example 'SIN(R)/R' with 'R=SQRT(X**2+Y**2)' in X=0 and
1722: Y=0), no graph was procuced (it results from a bug in gnuplot, and this fix
1723: is a quick and dirty workaround...);
1724: - RETURN intrinsic is modified to fix a trouble in interactive mode;
1725: - rplconvert is improved.
1726: * Sun Dec 22 2002 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6a (RPL/2)

1742: Now, an expression such as 'A+' returns an error when it is analyzed;
1743: - VISIT intrinsic is added;
1744: - a major memory leak is fixed in evaluation.c. This bug rarely occurs in
1745: normal mode.

1833: - Makefile is improved to support sparc v7 (sun4c), sparc v8 (sun4m) and
1834: sparc v9 (sun4u). Now, RPL/2 can be built on i386 (i486 is known as i386),
1835: i586, i686, K6, K7, alpha ev4, alpha ev5, alpha ev56, alpha ev6, sparc v7,
1836: sparc v8 and sparc v9. Compilation of RPL/2 on my Sun Sparc 2 (sun4c,
1837: CPU 4/75, 64 MB, 40 MHz with FPU) is a very great mission :
1838:
1839: Newton:[~/rpl/rpl] > time make install
1840: ...
1841: real 338m39.623s
1842: user 324m32.290s
1843: sys 10m47.380s
1844: Newton:[~/rpl/rpl] >
1845:
1846: I don't know if you will compile this language on old worstations, but
1847: it is usable ;-) ;
1848: - SYSEVAL is improved. An external program can be called without any shell.
1849: Thus, even if the sticky bit is set, RPL/2 can not give a shell root when
