416: * Thu May 09 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.23 (RPL/2)
417: - major bug is fixed in STD format (1E7 sq prints 1);
418: - major bug is fixed in READ intrinsic (socket). This bug was introduced
419: by a new feature in glibc.
420: * Thu Apr 14 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.22 (RPL/2)
421: - by default, RPL/2 uses "NONE" IMPLICIT when it's started in batch mode and
422: "ALL" IMPLICIT when it runs in interactive mode;
423: - when "NONE" IMPLICIT is set, STO intrinsic raises an error when it is used
424: to create or modify a global variable. Now, with "NONE" IMPLICIT, you have
425: to use SAVE to manipulate global variables;
426: - replace erroneous TAB by TBL in evaluation() and formateur_fichier()
427: subroutines;
428: - fix major memory access violation in evaluation subroutine. Only occurs
429: when 'X(i,j)' is evaluated on a matrix and when (i,j) points out of bounds;
430: - fix major bug in evaluation subroutine. 'X(i)' returns execution error
431: when X was a vector or a table.
432: * Sun Apr 04 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.21 (RPL/2)

461: * Thu Sep 23 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.19 (RPL/2)
462: - due to a very strange bug I've only seen on Solaris, ptmalloc3 is removed.
463: Solaris libresolv randomly uses ptmalloc3 and system allocator and makes heap
464: corruption. As internal memory management have been improved, a best fit
465: allocator like ptmalloc3 is not required anymore;
466: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.4.1;
467: - deadlock is fixed in signal handlers: same mutex was used in standard
468: subroutines (without protected sections by sigprocmask() or pthread_sigmask())
469: and signal handlers. A new signal handler specific mutex is added;
470: - minor bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. In { X 0 PI }, PI is a function
471: that has to be evaluated by ->NUM;
472: - rplfile build process is modify to be sure that rplfile is not modified
473: after rpl build stage (to be sure that rplfile checksum is not modified after

478: ABORT now works on eComStation;
479: - sqlite is upgraded to 3.7.2;
480: - bug is fixed in software interrupts. When both process have different PID,
481: parent process was not interrupted if it is not group master process. To fix
482: this bug, SIGINJECT signal is not sent by child process but by control thread
483: in parent process;
484: - minor bug is fixed in data injection (POKE) that does not work as expected
485: when child process is protected by NRPROC.
486: * Thu Aug 26 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.18 (RPL/2)
487: - --enable-sysv-sems is added to configure script to use SystemV semaphores
488: functions instead of POSIX functions. This function is disabled or forced on
489: systems that does not provide correct POSIX or SysV semaphores subsystem;
490: - a dirty but not quick patch is written to workaround broken siginfo
491: structures. This patch has been successfully tested. It uses a segment of
492: shared memory (Posix or SysV) and some semaphores (Posix or SysV) by process
493: (Unix PID);
494: - some OpenBSD's hacks are added;
495: - broken siginfo->si_pid field is now checked by configure script;

513: Level 0 and 1 variables adresses were swapped when a global variable masked
514: a name of RPL/2 routine;
515: - major bug is fixed in global variable creation subroutine. When a global
516: variable was created and when a local variable existed with the same name,
517: computed address of global variable was wrong;
518: - src/Makefile.am is modified to avoid a bug on several systems. libptmalloc3
519: is forced in front of all libraries.
520: * Tue Jul 13 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.17 (RPL/2)
521: - BACKTRACE intrinsic is added;
522: - major bug is fixed in SELECT/DEFAULT/END conditional structure. Only occurs
523: when this structure is included in IFERR/THEN/END structure and when an error is
524: caught;
525: - major bug is fixed in analyse() subroutine. When evaluation() returned error
526: in a compiled program, analyse() caught this error twice and randomly aborted
527: with a segmentation error;
528: - TRIM and TOKENIZE replace both '\n' and '\t' by regular spaces;
529: - ATEXIT subroutine begins with an implicit CSTOP to avoid multiple stop
530: signals;
531: - memory leak is fixed in ROW+. It only occurs when a row is added to an empty
532: matrix.
533: * Thu Jun 24 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.16 (RPL/2)
534: - minor bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. With this patch, same program

551: format in FCH (file descriptor) and SCK (socket descriptor);
552: - debug routines are improved;
553: - PROCID is added;
554: - MEMLOCK and MEMUNLOCK are added. MEMLOCK forces a process to remain in memory
555: and to not use swap;
556: - major bug is fixed in sql support. SQL connections were closed in all chield
557: process;
558: - standard allocator (malloc()/free()) is replaced by ptmalloc3 due to some bugs
559: discovered in Solaris thread safe allocators (libmalloc and libumem) that
560: are first fit class allocators. Solaris libmtmalloc works better and is
561: a best fit class allocator but its performance is poor than ptmalloc3
562: performance;
563: - major bug is fixed in ROW+ intrinsic (new row was not added where it
564: should);
565: - minor bugs are fixed in interruptions.c (semaphores values when error is
566: caught);
567: - major bug is fixed in STOP intrinsic. STOP was unable to stop any process
568: created by SPAWN;
569: - SIGFABORT is added. When process receives SIGFSTOP, it tries to execute
570: ATEXIT. If it receives SIGFABORT, it does not;
571: - ONEXIT is renamed in ATEXIT;
572: - ONEXIT new intrinsic is added.

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

626: - in formatted file, string format returned a variable length string even if
627: format was 'CHARACTER*(n)' (n characters string). Now, 'CHARACTER*(*)' returns
628: a variable length string and 'CHARACTER*(n)' a fixed length string;
629: - keyed access files support is added. Currently, only formatted files are
630: supported;
631: - direct access files support is added. Currenlty, these files can only be used
632: in formatted mode;
633: - virtual variables are now writte in UTF-8 and all special characters
634: in string are escaped;
635: - all formatted files are now converted into UTF-8;
636: - all file and unix socket names created by RPL/2 are now UTF-8 compliant;
637: - RPL/2 tools (rpliconv, rplfile, rplpp and rplconvert) are now checked before
638: each execution (md5 and sha1 sums) to enhance security. If one of these tools
639: have been modified between RPL/2 compilation and current execution, RPL/2 aborts
640: on a non recoverable system error;
641: - openssl and sqlite3 libraries are added;
642: - RPL_HOME env variable is added. When RPL/2 is called from librpl, this
643: variable indicates RPL/2 root directory. If it is not set, root path
644: is given by configure script (d_exec_path);
645: * Thu Mar 03 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.11 (RPL/2)

678: * Fri Jan 08 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.8 (RPL/2)
679: - minor bug is fixed in DAEMON intrinsic. When a program was daemonized, all
680: signals sent to main process were not caught because DAEMON did not replace
681: old pid by new one;
682: - major bug is fixed in IFERR/THEN/ELSE/END. Only occurs in expression
683: evaluation when an error is reported from a subroutine in another subroutine.
684: For example, error was not caught in following program when it is executed with
685: -p option :
686: TEST << iferr TEST2 then end >>
687: TEST2 << 0 inv >>
688: - major bug is fixed in variable management. Some local variables were
689: seen as global ones;

691: script file contains a multibyte character;
692: - IN intrinsic is added;
693: - major bug is fixed in SAME intrinsic : << 1 >> DUP SAME and 'E' DUP SAME
694: returned false ;

702: - major bug is fixed in -A command line option (NULL character is missing);
703: - minor bug is fixed in rpliconv and RECODE intrinsic. All transliterations are
704: made by blocks (1024 bytes). When an incomplete multibyte sequence is
705: encountered at end of block, subroutine aborts with an execution error;
706: - major bug is fixed in OPEN (TCP/IPv4 sockets).
707: * Mon Nov 30 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.7 (RPL/2)
708: - DISP now locks stdout;
709: - rpliconv is added to replace standard iconv provided by operating system.
710: Indeed, conversion between different encodages requires transliteration
711: that is not offered by some iconv utility;
712: - CURRENC and RECODE intrinsics have been written to allow strings conversions;
713: - bug is fixed in SYSEVAL. When execvp() returns (for example when arg[0] can
714: not be found), SYSEVAL enters in a dead lock;
715: - fprintf is replaced by some functions that allow transliterations between
716: locales;
717: - '"' can now be used in strings ("\"");
718: - iconv is called with -c in preprocessor stage. It is done to write
719: CGI scripts with RPL/2 because locale charset is set to ANSI_X3.4-1968;
720: - double free is fixed in liberation() (type SQL, only occurs when locale is
721: set);
722: - LOCALIZATION, UCASE and LCASE are added;

724: execution error in compiled scripts (only in DO/UNTIL and REPEAT/WHILE loops);
725: - major bug is fixed in wrapper_instruction_intrinseque(). When intrinsic() was
726: used in onLoading from shared library, USE was pushed on stack as algebraic
727: expression;
728: - libiconv is upgraded to 1.13.1;
729: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.2.6;
730: - gsl is upgraded to 1.13.
731: * Mon Sep 28 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.6 (RPL/2)
732: - pipe() is overwritten by a macro to avoid a system error. Communication
733: between process are done with pipes and these pipes are managed by a
734: specific asynchrone thread. If a script try to create more threads than
735: management thread can destroy, you can quickly achieve maximum number of
736: opened files and pipe() shall return a system error. This macro tries to create
737: pipes. If pipe() function returns an error, macro waits and retries. If
738: number of retries is greater than a hardcoded value, macro returns an error;
739: - major bug (deadlock) is fixed in process and thread management. I hope
740: this bug shall be the last one;
741: - major bug is fixed in DET intrinsic (determinant was computed without LU
742: diagonalization);

747: - all process management is rewritten to avoid usage of defunct process
748: or thread number;
749: - new major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. Sometimes, when retrait_thread()
750: was called before a pending interruption5 (SIGFSTOP), signal handler uses
751: a freed semaphore and corrupts heap;
752: - CLRERR is added to erase previous errors;
753: - ERRN and ERRM return exception message and number;
754: - major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. All signal are now bufferised
755: when semaphore_liste_threads is null to avoid deadlock. This bug only
756: occured when STOP was sent to a dying thread or process (when this thread or
757: process was running retrait_thread());
758: - matrix rank is computed before matrix inversion;
759: - file locks are added to stdin and stdout. stderr is not locked because
760: all messages written by signal handlers are sent to stderr;
761: - configure.in script is modified to test gcc version and avoid a bug in

780: - SVL and SVD are added;
781: - COND and RANK are added;
782: - DIAG-> and ->DIAG are added;
783: - major bug is fixed in DET intrinsic. DET is rewritten to avoid usage of
784: eigenvalues. In a first time, matrix rank is estimated to force determinant
785: to zero if matrix is rank deficient. If not, a PLU decomposition is done to
786: compute determinant;
787: - QR matrix decomposition is added;
788: - LQ matrix decomposition is added;
789: - Fortran90 files are rewritten to use Fortran2003 bind(C) statement and

792: -Wno-unused-parameter;
793: - all mathematical exceptions are now signaled by exceptions instead of
794: execution error;
795: - minor bug is fixed in both CSTOP and RSTOP intrinsics. Without this fix, you
796: can call twice CSTOP without RSTOP;
797: - named semaphore support is added (CRSMPHR, CLRSMPHR, SMHRDECR, SMPHRINCR,
798: SMPHRTRYDECR, SMPHGETV).
799: * Fri Jul 24 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.4 (RPL/2)
800: - semaphore is added in interruptions.c to avoid segmentation fault when STOP
801: signal is sent to a dying thread. Some mutexes are replaced by semaphores too
802: to be used in signal handlers;
803: - major bug (memory corruption) is fixed in COL- intrinsic;
804: - minor bug is fixed in ALARM and WAIT. These temporisations stopped when a
805: software interrupt was caught;
806: - rplpp man page is added.
807: * Fri Jul 17 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.3 (RPL/2)
808: - minor bug is fixed in WRITE (SIGPIPE is ignored to catch error without
809: process termination);
810: - major bug is fixed in FUSE intrinsic (FUSE kills itself and do not kill
811: its parent);
812: - a mutex to protect fork() syscall is added;
813: - all mutexes are unlocked after fork() in DETACH;

819: - branches prediction is added in THEN, ELSE, ELSEIF and REPEAT intrinsics;
820: - FORTRAN 77 file management subroutines are rewritten in pure C due to
821: FORTRAN string management. C/FORTRAN 77 string interfaces are broken

823: - a memory leak is fixed in REMOVE intrinsic;
824: - major bug is fixed in MySQL driver (segfault due to a bug in mysql_init()
825: and due to a libmysqlclient that is not thread safe).
826: * Wen Jun 10 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.2 (RPL/2)
827: - new enhanced allocator is written for regular variables, static variables and

832: - --enable-profile flag is added to configure script. When this flag is
833: enabled, rpl is built with -pg option;
834: - SIGFSTP (from Solaris'TERMIO) is caught. On Solaris 10, all process receive
835: SIGFSTP (with a nullified siginfo structure) instead of SIGHUP when control
836: process is killed;
837: - abs() macro is modified to avoid multiple evaluation. Your C compiler has to
838: know typeof() intrinsic function. This function is not standard but exists
839: under Sun Studio, gcc, and maybe some others compilers. If this function does
840: not exist on your compiler, you can change its definition by old one in
841: src/rpl.h;
842: - fflush() can now be interrupted by signal (SunOS);
843: - fflush(NULL) is called before all fork() occurrences;

862: is send from an external process;
863: - configure.in is modified to avoid a libc bug on Solaris (free() can enter in
864: deadlock when a huge amount of threads is launched);
865: - minor bug is fixed in boath START and FOR intrinsic. Only occurs when
866: arguments types are unsupported;
867: - PLOT instrinsic is added (usage: LINE and MARK do not draw anything. All

882: static variable that is shared by multiple threads;
883: - '->' intrinsic is improved. All object copies have been avoided;
884: - -n flag is added to catch HUP signal. stderr and stdout are redirected
885: to a file, stdin is redirected to /dev/null when control process is killed;
886: - a mutex is added to each object (before this modification,
887: RPL/2 used a global mutex and performances in multithreaded programs were very
888: poor.);

902: in three new intrinsics : SQLCONNECT, SQLQUERY and SQLDISCONNECT. Please note
903: that all programs that worked with old SQL intrinsic can now work with
904: SQLQUERY. With all new programs, you can open a real connection to databases;
905: - NRPROC is added. This new intrinsic is used to catch error from child
906: process. Without NRPROC, any errors returned by child process cause
907: main process to abort;
908: - SPAWN is added. This new intrinsic is used to launch a new thread (DETACH
909: starts a new process). There are no mutexes in RPL/2 because all spawned process
910: use specific context. Nevertheless, shared variables and associated mutexes
911: should be added;
912: - -D flag and DAEMONIZE intrinsic have been added;

982: nullified lists;
983: - rplexternals.h is modified and improved;
984: - GNU File (renamed as rplfile) cannot be built due to a bug in libtoolize and
985: configure script.
986: * Mon Jun 23 2008 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.0.prerelease.7 (RPL/2)

1050: before starting interrupt evaluation;
1051: - -f parameter is added when iconv is called;
1052: - as old file program was bugged, a new option is added to configure script.
1053: When configure is called with --disable-encoding-autodetection, make does not
1054: try to detect source encoding. Please, do not use if RPL/2 can be built
1055: without this option !
1056: - new garbage collector (and more efficient) is written;
1057: - configure script is modified to be usable on NetBSD 4.0, but as NetBSD does
1058: not support real time signals, RPL/2 cannot use multitasking functions;
1059: - error returned by preprocessor are now catched by RPL/2;
1060: - -p option is added. With this option, all scripts are compiled before
1061: RPL/2 starts evaluation. HALT cannot be used with -p, but all programs run
1062: 40% faster;
1063: - read and write operations in pipe() are rewritten to be sure that such
1064: operations are atomic;

1589: fine...);
1590: - NOT is not correctly formatted in formateur.c:
1591: Z NOT -> 'NOT Z' but 'A+Z' NOT -> 'NOT A+Z' and 'NOT Z+A' -> 'NOTZ+A'
1592: with a NOTZ function !
1593: * Sun Aug 10 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre7c (RPL/2)
1594: - CYCLE is fixed. Now, it is possible to use CYCLE in an expression even

1596: - RPL/2 is tested with efence and valgrind;
1597: - configure.in script is modified;
1598: - units.c is modified to be built by gcc-3.3. I only have removed a #if 0/#endif

1659: appear on the same figure). The same mistake is fixed in DRWS intrinsic;
1660: - LAST is disabled in evaluation subroutine (EVAL and ->NUM intrinsics).
1661: * Sun May 18 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6j (RPL/2)

1678: - SCLS is added;
1679: - DRWS now uses COLS to draw 2D graphics;
1680: - PPAR and SPAR are written. SPAR returns a list that contains the
1681: size of the statistical matrix (or "UNAVALAIBLE" if there is any
1682: statistical variable, or "DISABLED" if its type is not one of the type of
1683: a statistical matrix.) and XCOL and YCOL parameters. Warning: [[]] SIZE
1684: returns { 1 0 } and it is not a bug, because a null matrix contains _one_
1685: null line ! Thus, [[]] STOS SPAR returns { { 1 0 } 1 2 };
1686: - EXTERNAL intrinsic is added. Warning: by default, extern functions are
1687: disabled. Arguments of EXTERNAL are case sensitive because the external
1688: interface is written in C. { ext_sinus } EXTERNAL does not replace the list
1689: of known external functions but add the new list to the last. { "all" }
1690: EXTERNAL allows all external functions and { "none" } EXTERNAL removes all
1691: external names of the known functions;
1692: - mkrplso.in is modified.
1693: * Sun Apr 20 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6h (RPL/2)
1694: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
1695: - a minor mistake is fixed in recherche_instruction_suivante();
1696: - some minor memory leaks are fixed in recherche_type() function. They only

1705: * Sun Apr 13 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6g (RPL/2)
1706: - a very minor bug is fixed in VISIT intrinsic. It only occurs when
1707: VISIT does not find a name in level 1;
1708: - configure.in script is modified to add a new test (--enable-debug
1709: flag). Configured with this fleg, RPL/2 will be built with electric-fences;
1710: - GETR (get row[s]) and GETC (get column[s]) are added. These new instructions
1711: extract a part of a matrix. Syntax: [[ 1 2 3 ][ 2 3 4 ]] { 1 } GETR or
1712: 'MATRIX' { 2 2 3 } GETR;
1713: - LOGSCALE intrinsic is improved and now, it can be used as
1714: { "main" "auxiliary" X Y } LOGSCALE;
1715: - SCALE intrinsic is used to fix the limits of a graphic. Its syntax is the
1716: same than AXES:
1717: { { 60 "ticsonly" 2 } { "automatic" "ticsonly" 10 } } axes
1718: { "auxiliary" { 60 "ticsonly" "default" } { "automatic" } } axes
1719: { { -10 10 } "automatic" } SCALE.
1720: Warning, it is not possible to ask a logarithmic scale with this intrinsic
1721: because it changes only the dimension of the screen. To have a logarithmic
1722: scale, you must use LOGSCALE intrinsic:
1723: { X } LOGSCALE gives a semi-log screen, { "auxiliary" X Y } gives a log-log
1724: screen on second scale;
1725: - { X X } autoscale and { Y Y } logscale are now invalid;
1726: - *D is added (depth multiplication, for 3D graphics);
1727: - a new intrinsic (*S) is added. It changes the scale of a graphic (X, Y
1728: and Z axes). The result of *S is the same than DUP DUP *H *W *D;
1729: - a major bug is fixed in GETI instrinsic when it is used with a name
1730: that contains a matrix or a vector (bad upper bounds conditions in
1731: incrementation);
1732: - DISP intrinsic now uses the 33-th flag. When it is not set
1733: (default), a final carriage return is sent to the terminal;
1734: - AXES intrinsic only takes a list that can contains the keywork
1735: "main" or "auxiliary". Before this modification, this keyword was in
1736: the first stack level;
1737: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
1738: - in appel_gnuplot(), stdin is closed when gnuplot is called with -raise
1739: option;
1740: - LAST is now disabled in the main loop of INT intrinsic;
1741: - expm1 and lnp1 are rewritten to use expm1 and log1p from math.h.
1742: * Sun Apr 6 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6f (RPL/2)
1743: - a major bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. It occurs with DRAW
1744: intrinsic when the equation cannot be evaluated (for example 'SIN(X)/X'
1745: in 0);
1746: - LAST is disabled in the main loop of DRAW intrinsic;
1747: - a major bug is fixed in DRAW intrinsic. When an error occurs in the
1748: evaluation of an equation, the system stack is returned corrupted to the
1749: sequencer;
1750: - the same minor bug is fixed in FOR and START. It only occurs when the limits
1751: of a loop are not integer or real.
1752: * Sun Mar 31 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6e (RPL/2)
1753: - the compilation stage aborts with an error message when two definitions
1754: have the same name. To improve the compilation() subroutine, I have to
1755: add some tests in gestion_variables.c;
1756: - recherche_type() subroutine ad some other connex subroutines are improved.
1757: Now, some syntax errors about object are caught and do not perform sequencer
1758: hangup;

1760: - Makefile.am's and configure.in scripts are improved.
1761: * Fri Mar 14 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6d (RPL/2)
1762: - DRWS intrinsic is written. Two datastyles are associated: SCATTER (2D
1763: and 3D) and HISTOGRAM (only 2D, but 3 columns are accepted, the third shown
1764: the boxwidth, 1 by default);
1765: - recherche_type() is rewritten to be faster;
1766: - gsl is upgraded (release 1.3);
1767: - ncurses is upgraded and patched (release 5.3);
1768: - recherche_instruction_suivante() is fixed (string research with included
1769: '"') and rewritten to be faster;

1781: - vim syntax file is improved;
1782: - DRAW (wireframe section) is fixed. When an error occurs in the evaluation
1783: of a 3D-graphic (for example 'SIN(R)/R' with 'R=SQRT(X**2+Y**2)' in X=0 and
1784: Y=0), no graph was procuced (it results from a bug in gnuplot, and this fix
1785: is a quick and dirty workaround...);
1786: - RETURN intrinsic is modified to fix a trouble in interactive mode;
1787: - rplconvert is improved.

1898: sparc v8 and sparc v9. Compilation of RPL/2 on my Sun Sparc 2 (sun4c,
1899: CPU 4/75, 64 MB, 40 MHz with FPU) is a very great mission :
1900:
1901: Newton:[~/rpl/rpl] > time make install
