   67: +++Copyright (C) 1989 à 2010, 2011 BERTRAND Joël
   68: Number of scalar operations per second and per core : 2625369.22710792
   69: * Mon Jun 20 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.1.0.prerelease.0 (RPL/2)
   70: - New variable management is written. Please note that -p flag does not work
   71: and all multithread/multitask capabilities have been disabled until this
   72: new subsystem shall be validated.
   73: * Thu May 09 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.23 (RPL/2)
   74: - major bug is fixed in STD format (1E7 sq prints 1);
   75: - major bug is fixed in READ intrinsic (socket). This bug was introduced
   76: by a new feature in glibc.
   77: * Thu Apr 14 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.22 (RPL/2)
   78: - by default, RPL/2 uses "NONE" IMPLICIT when it's started in batch mode and
   79: "ALL" IMPLICIT when it runs in interactive mode;
   80: - when "NONE" IMPLICIT is set, STO intrinsic raises an error when it is used
   81: to create or modify a global variable. Now, with "NONE" IMPLICIT, you have
   82: to use SAVE to manipulate global variables;
   83: - replace erroneous TAB by TBL in evaluation() and formateur_fichier()
   84: subroutines;
   85: - fix major memory access violation in evaluation subroutine. Only occurs
   86: when 'X(i,j)' is evaluated on a matrix and when (i,j) points out of bounds;
   87: - fix major bug in evaluation subroutine. 'X(i)' returns execution error
   88: when X was a vector or a table.
   89: * Sun Apr 04 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.21 (RPL/2)
   90: - Gnuplot is upgraded;

   96: - FLOW socket support is added;
   97: - FLOW sequential files are added;
   98: - new escape sequence is added to handle flow files (\x + hexadecimal code).
   99: Known escape sequences are \", \b, \n, \t, \x?? and \\.
  100: * Sun Mar 06 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.20 (RPL/2)
  101: - Ncurses is upgraded to 5.8;
  102: - ALARM is fixed by filling isdst field;
  103: - catch ECONNRESET in write intrinsic to return an execution error instead of
  104: system one;
  105: - fix a typo in HELP intrinsic;
  106: - Openssl is upgraded to 1.0.0d, sqlite to 3.7.5 and readline to 6.2;
  107: - Lapack is upgraded to 3.3.0;
  108: - libmtmalloc is now default Solaris allocator;
  109: - ncurses is upgraded;
  110: - regression introduced by 4.0.19 is fixed in signal management.
  111: Interruption1() could be called from itself and raises bus error (on sparc) or
  112: segmentation fault;
  113: - sqlite is upgraded to 3.7.4;
  114: - OpenSSL is upgraded to 1.0.0c;
  115: - syntax error is correctly checked ( (2+,0) does not crash RPL/2 anymore);
  116: - characters are tested in recherche_type() to avoid names like '12+';
  117: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.4.2 due to major bugs.
  118: * Thu Sep 23 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.19 (RPL/2)
  119: - due to a very strange bug I've only seen on Solaris, ptmalloc3 is removed.
  120: Solaris libresolv randomly uses ptmalloc3 and system allocator and makes heap
  121: corruption. As internal memory management have been improved, a best fit
  122: allocator like ptmalloc3 is not required anymore;
  123: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.4.1;
  124: - deadlock is fixed in signal handlers: same mutex was used in standard
  125: subroutines (without protected sections by sigprocmask() or pthread_sigmask())
  126: and signal handlers. A new signal handler specific mutex is added;
  127: - minor bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. In { X 0 PI }, PI is a function
  128: that has to be evaluated by ->NUM;
  129: - rplfile build process is modify to be sure that rplfile is not modified
  130: after rpl build stage (to be sure that rplfile checksum is not modified after
  131: rpl compilation);
  132: - AWK is replaced by rplawk. rplawk is original awk written by Brian Kernighan,
  133: modified to remove yacc code and renamed;
  134: - some workarounds have been written to not use buggy klibc SystemV IPCS.
  135: ABORT now works on eComStation;
  136: - sqlite is upgraded to 3.7.2;
  137: - bug is fixed in software interrupts. When both process have different PID,
  138: parent process was not interrupted if it is not group master process. To fix
  139: this bug, SIGINJECT signal is not sent by child process but by control thread
  140: in parent process;
  141: - minor bug is fixed in data injection (POKE) that does not work as expected
  142: when child process is protected by NRPROC.
  143: * Thu Aug 26 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.18 (RPL/2)
  144: - --enable-sysv-sems is added to configure script to use SystemV semaphores
  145: functions instead of POSIX functions. This function is disabled or forced on
  146: systems that does not provide correct POSIX or SysV semaphores subsystem;
  147: - a dirty but not quick patch is written to workaround broken siginfo
  148: structures. This patch has been successfully tested. It uses a segment of
  149: shared memory (Posix or SysV) and some semaphores (Posix or SysV) by process
  150: (Unix PID);
  151: - some OpenBSD's hacks are added;
  152: - broken siginfo->si_pid field is now checked by configure script;
  153: - SWI now sends SIGCONT to interrupted process to start interrupt without delay;
  154: - random generator is cloned by SPAWN;
  155: - in transliteration subroutine : '\r' is added after all '\n' in OS/2 port;
  156: - getaddrinfo is hardcoded when host system does not provide getaddrinfo
  157: or freeaddrinfo;
  158: - RPL/2 can now use SystemV semaphores when POSIX semaphores are unavailable;
  159: - major bug is fixed in CHR intrinsic when obtained character is not printable;
  160: - Lapack is upgraded to 3.2.2;
  161: - OS/2 (eComStation 2.0 with EMX 0.9d) support is added;
  162: - TOKENIZE is now able to convert escape sequences;
  163: - ATPOKE and CLRATPOKE new intrinsics are added;
  164: - --enable-full-static configure flag is added. With this flag, mysql and
  165: postgresql libraries are statically linked in rpl executable;
  166: - units Makefile is modified to avoid readline and ncurses usages;
  167: - sqlite is upgraded to 3.7.0.1;
  168: - units is upgraded to 1.88;
  169: - another major bug is fixed in the same variable creation subroutine.
  170: Level 0 and 1 variables adresses were swapped when a global variable masked
  171: a name of RPL/2 routine;
  172: - major bug is fixed in global variable creation subroutine. When a global
  173: variable was created and when a local variable existed with the same name,
  174: computed address of global variable was wrong;
  175: - src/Makefile.am is modified to avoid a bug on several systems. libptmalloc3
  176: is forced in front of all libraries.
  177: * Tue Jul 13 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.17 (RPL/2)
  178: - BACKTRACE intrinsic is added;
  179: - major bug is fixed in SELECT/DEFAULT/END conditional structure. Only occurs
  180: when this structure is included in IFERR/THEN/END structure and when an error is
  181: caught;
  182: - major bug is fixed in analyse() subroutine. When evaluation() returned error
  183: in a compiled program, analyse() caught this error twice and randomly aborted
  184: with a segmentation error;
  185: - TRIM and TOKENIZE replace both '\n' and '\t' by regular spaces;
  186: - ATEXIT subroutine begins with an implicit CSTOP to avoid multiple stop
  187: signals;
  188: - memory leak is fixed in ROW+. It only occurs when a row is added to an empty
  189: matrix.
  190: * Thu Jun 24 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.16 (RPL/2)
  191: - minor bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. With this patch, same program
  192: returns same result with or without -p flag;

  194: - openssl is upgraded to 1.0.0a;
  195: - interrupt stacks are now FIFO instead of LIFO;
  196: - debug memory allocation subroutines are improved to run in multithreaded
  197: programs;
  198: - some memory leaks are fixed in process management (SPAWN and DETACH);
  199: - version verification is added to shared objects;
  200: - -D_GNU_SOURCE is added to ptmalloc3 makefile to avoid a major bug on 64 bits
  201: linux (false mremap() prototype);
  202: - major bug is fixed in rpliconv. getc() returns an int, not a unsigned char.
  203: * Sun May 23 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.15 (RPL/2)
  204: - all '-' are replaced by '_' in random generator list;
  205: - minor memory leak is fixed in OPEN intrinsic (socket);
  206: - major bug is fixed in IFERR structure. Only occurs in compiled program;
  207: - major bug is fixed in copie_objet() and liberation(). Only concerns
  208: format in FCH (file descriptor) and SCK (socket descriptor);
  209: - debug routines are improved;
  210: - PROCID is added;
  211: - MEMLOCK and MEMUNLOCK are added. MEMLOCK forces a process to remain in memory
  212: and to not use swap;
  213: - major bug is fixed in sql support. SQL connections were closed in all chield
  214: process;
  215: - standard allocator (malloc()/free()) is replaced by ptmalloc3 due to some bugs
  216: discovered in Solaris thread safe allocators (libmalloc and libumem) that
  217: are first fit class allocators. Solaris libmtmalloc works better and is
  218: a best fit class allocator but its performance is poor than ptmalloc3
  219: performance;
  220: - major bug is fixed in ROW+ intrinsic (new row was not added where it
  221: should);
  222: - minor bugs are fixed in interruptions.c (semaphores values when error is
  223: caught);
  224: - major bug is fixed in STOP intrinsic. STOP was unable to stop any process
  225: created by SPAWN;
  226: - SIGFABORT is added. When process receives SIGFSTOP, it tries to execute
  227: ATEXIT. If it receives SIGFABORT, it does not;
  228: - ONEXIT is renamed in ATEXIT;
  229: - ONEXIT new intrinsic is added.
  230: * Wed Apr 21 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.14 (RPL/2)
  231: - major bug is fixed in static and shared variables initialization subroutine.
  232: This bug only occurs when RPL/2 tries to create a shared or static variable
  233: from an expression;
  234: - major bug is fixed in copie_etat_processus(). A field that contains
  235: information about shared variable was not copied to new processus structure;
  236: - some little memory leaks are fixed in evaluation(), recherche_type() and
  237: sequenceur(). They only occured when syntax error were caught;
  238: - IMPLICIT causes execution error instead system error;
  239: - Hurd support is improved but currently broken because Hurd does not support
  240: SIG_INFO. Work in progress;
  241: - OpenBSD specific support is removed from sources;
  242: - support for Mac OS X and Windows/Cygwin is added.
  243: * Wed Apr 07 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.13 (RPL/2)
  244: - implicit names can now be disabled by new IMPLICIT intrinsic:

  279: - -a command line option analyzes program (structure and syntax) and
  280: sends preprocessor output to standard output. This option is used by
  281: rplc (RPL/2 compiler).
  282: * Tue Mar 09 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.12 (RPL/2)
  283: - in formatted file, string format returned a variable length string even if
  284: format was 'CHARACTER*(n)' (n characters string). Now, 'CHARACTER*(*)' returns
  285: a variable length string and 'CHARACTER*(n)' a fixed length string;
  286: - keyed access files support is added. Currently, only formatted files are
  287: supported;
  288: - direct access files support is added. Currenlty, these files can only be used
  289: in formatted mode;
  290: - virtual variables are now writte in UTF-8 and all special characters
  291: in string are escaped;
  292: - all formatted files are now converted into UTF-8;

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

  309: fraction intead real one;
  310: - SIGN now returns (0,0) instead (nan,nan) when complex argument is null;
  311: - Makefile.am are modified to authorize parallel builds;
  312: - minor bug is fixed in CR intrinsic. CR sends a carriage return to printer
  313: and writes warning to standard output;

  335: * Fri Jan 08 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.8 (RPL/2)
  336: - minor bug is fixed in DAEMON intrinsic. When a program was daemonized, all
  337: signals sent to main process were not caught because DAEMON did not replace
  338: old pid by new one;
  339: - major bug is fixed in IFERR/THEN/ELSE/END. Only occurs in expression
  340: evaluation when an error is reported from a subroutine in another subroutine.
  341: For example, error was not caught in following program when it is executed with
  342: -p option :

  360: - minor bug is fixed in rpliconv and RECODE intrinsic. All transliterations are
  361: made by blocks (1024 bytes). When an incomplete multibyte sequence is
  362: encountered at end of block, subroutine aborts with an execution error;
  363: - major bug is fixed in OPEN (TCP/IPv4 sockets).
  364: * Mon Nov 30 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.7 (RPL/2)
  365: - DISP now locks stdout;
  366: - rpliconv is added to replace standard iconv provided by operating system.
  367: Indeed, conversion between different encodages requires transliteration
  368: that is not offered by some iconv utility;
  369: - CURRENC and RECODE intrinsics have been written to allow strings conversions;
  370: - bug is fixed in SYSEVAL. When execvp() returns (for example when arg[0] can
  371: not be found), SYSEVAL enters in a dead lock;
  372: - fprintf is replaced by some functions that allow transliterations between
  373: locales;
  374: - '"' can now be used in strings ("\"");
  375: - iconv is called with -c in preprocessor stage. It is done to write
  376: CGI scripts with RPL/2 because locale charset is set to ANSI_X3.4-1968;
  377: - double free is fixed in liberation() (type SQL, only occurs when locale is
  378: set);
  379: - LOCALIZATION, UCASE and LCASE are added;
  380: - major bug is fixed in EXIT intrinsic that was able to return a false
  381: execution error in compiled scripts (only in DO/UNTIL and REPEAT/WHILE loops);
  382: - major bug is fixed in wrapper_instruction_intrinseque(). When intrinsic() was
  383: used in onLoading from shared library, USE was pushed on stack as algebraic
  384: expression;
  385: - libiconv is upgraded to 1.13.1;
  386: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.2.6;
  387: - gsl is upgraded to 1.13.
  388: * Mon Sep 28 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.6 (RPL/2)
  389: - pipe() is overwritten by a macro to avoid a system error. Communication
  390: between process are done with pipes and these pipes are managed by a
  391: specific asynchrone thread. If a script try to create more threads than
  392: management thread can destroy, you can quickly achieve maximum number of
  393: opened files and pipe() shall return a system error. This macro tries to create
  394: pipes. If pipe() function returns an error, macro waits and retries. If
  395: number of retries is greater than a hardcoded value, macro returns an error;
  396: - major bug (deadlock) is fixed in process and thread management. I hope
  397: this bug shall be the last one;
  398: - major bug is fixed in DET intrinsic (determinant was computed without LU
  399: diagonalization);
  400: - SWAPCNTXT is added;
  401: - minor bug is fixed in Makefile.am (licences rule).
  402: * Wed Sep 09 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.5 (RPL/2)
  403: - some bugfixes are added in process management;
  404: - all process management is rewritten to avoid usage of defunct process
  405: or thread number;
  406: - new major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. Sometimes, when retrait_thread()
  407: was called before a pending interruption5 (SIGFSTOP), signal handler uses
  408: a freed semaphore and corrupts heap;
  409: - CLRERR is added to erase previous errors;
  410: - ERRN and ERRM return exception message and number;
  411: - major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. All signal are now bufferised
  412: when semaphore_liste_threads is null to avoid deadlock. This bug only
  413: occured when STOP was sent to a dying thread or process (when this thread or
  414: process was running retrait_thread());
  415: - matrix rank is computed before matrix inversion;
  416: - file locks are added to stdin and stdout. stderr is not locked because
  417: all messages written by signal handlers are sent to stderr;
  418: - configure.in script is modified to test gcc version and avoid a bug in
  419: gcc older than 4.4;
  420: - some benchmarks have been done :

  452: - minor bug is fixed in both CSTOP and RSTOP intrinsics. Without this fix, you
  453: can call twice CSTOP without RSTOP;
  454: - named semaphore support is added (CRSMPHR, CLRSMPHR, SMHRDECR, SMPHRINCR,
  455: SMPHRTRYDECR, SMPHGETV).

  464: * Fri Jul 17 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.3 (RPL/2)
  465: - minor bug is fixed in WRITE (SIGPIPE is ignored to catch error without
  466: process termination);
  467: - major bug is fixed in FUSE intrinsic (FUSE kills itself and do not kill
  468: its parent);
  469: - a mutex to protect fork() syscall is added;
  470: - all mutexes are unlocked after fork() in DETACH;
  471: - minor bug (double free corruption) is fixed in CLOSE intrinsic;
  472: - major bug is fixed in lecture_pipe when a nullified list is sent into a pipe;
  473: - WORKDIR intrinsic is added;

  475: there variables are not modifiable and only contains static user definitions;
  476: - branches prediction is added in THEN, ELSE, ELSEIF and REPEAT intrinsics;
  477: - FORTRAN 77 file management subroutines are rewritten in pure C due to
  478: FORTRAN string management. C/FORTRAN 77 string interfaces are broken
  479: in some cases (gcc/gfortran/libc/OS and arch conjonction);
  480: - a memory leak is fixed in REMOVE intrinsic;
  481: - major bug is fixed in MySQL driver (segfault due to a bug in mysql_init()
  482: and due to a libmysqlclient that is not thread safe).
  483: * Wen Jun 10 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.2 (RPL/2)
  484: - new enhanced allocator is written for regular variables, static variables and

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

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

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

  559: in three new intrinsics : SQLCONNECT, SQLQUERY and SQLDISCONNECT. Please note
  560: that all programs that worked with old SQL intrinsic can now work with
  561: SQLQUERY. With all new programs, you can open a real connection to databases;
  562: - NRPROC is added. This new intrinsic is used to catch error from child
  563: process. Without NRPROC, any errors returned by child process cause
  564: main process to abort;
  565: - SPAWN is added. This new intrinsic is used to launch a new thread (DETACH
  566: starts a new process). There are no mutexes in RPL/2 because all spawned process
  567: use specific context. Nevertheless, shared variables and associated mutexes
  568: should be added;
  569: - -D flag and DAEMONIZE intrinsic have been added;
  570: - REPEAT, THEN, ELSE and ELSEIF intrinsics are rewritten to be more efficient;

  585: it's done. Data integrity is now respected during transmission (POKE, SEND and
  586: SWI);
  587: - ITRACE is added. This intrinsic is only used to debug internal structures and
  588: should not be used in regular programs;
  589: - SWISTATUS is written;
  590: - WFACK is written;
  591: - rplcore files are now able to handle compilation errors;
  592: - rplcore files are now able to handle evaluation and interruption errors;

  654: - FUSE, RFUSE and CLRFUSE have been added;
  655: - new bug discovered on NetBSD. sigpending() does not return any signal, thus
  656: DETACH intrinsic enters in a definitive dead lock. I have no idea to write a
  657: workaround for this major bug. Nevertheless, all others capabilities seems to
  658: work fine;
  659: - '->' is modified to return error when program tries to initialiaze two
  660: variables with the same name like

  678: - major bug due to new garbage collector is fixed in rplexternals.h (double free
  679: corruption);
  680: - CLRCNTXT is added (clear contexts);
  681: - VERIFY intrinsic is written;
  682: - PSHCNTXT and PULCNTXT are added (PSHCNTXT pushes context on an
  683: internal contexts stack, PULCNTXT pulls contexts from this internal stack).
  684: Main usages of these intrinsics are in conjonction with IFERR or with
  685: software interrupts;
  686: - HEAD, TAIL and REVLIST intrinsics are added;
  687: - function pointers have been added to function description;
  688: - new analyse() routine is written. All instrinsics are now in a N-tree;

  691: time signals have been removed;
  692: - major bugs are fixed in multitasking (mutex trouble _and_ segmentation fault);
  693: - minor bug is fixed in STR->. STR-> could return a system error instead an
  694: execution one;
  695: - first bug due to new garbage collector is fixed in '+' ({ } { } +) and in
  696: '-' intrinsics;
  697: - PostgreSQL support is written.

  699: - locale can now be specified in SQL intrinsic :
  700: { "mysql:iso-8859-1" "server" "database" ... };
  701: - major bug is fixed un analyse_algebrique(). When DISP printed an algebraic
  702: object, 'DISP()' was pushed in stack;
  703: - same major bug is fixed in <, >, <=, >= and <>;
  704: - major bug fixed in formateur() (segfault when a symbol is used without "'");
  705: - major bug is fixed in DUPN intrinsic;
  706: - when software interrupt (SWI) is evaluated, SWI pushs process id on stack
  707: before starting interrupt evaluation;
  708: - -f parameter is added when iconv is called;
  709: - as old file program was bugged, a new option is added to configure script.
  710: When configure is called with --disable-encoding-autodetection, make does not

  712: without this option !
  713: - new garbage collector (and more efficient) is written;
  714: - configure script is modified to be usable on NetBSD 4.0, but as NetBSD does
  715: not support real time signals, RPL/2 cannot use multitasking functions;
  716: - error returned by preprocessor are now catched by RPL/2;
  717: - -p option is added. With this option, all scripts are compiled before
  718: RPL/2 starts evaluation. HALT cannot be used with -p, but all programs run
  719: 40% faster;
  720: - read and write operations in pipe() are rewritten to be sure that such
  721: operations are atomic;
  722: - minor bug is fixed in LOGSCALE. With {} LOGSCALE, all scales have to be
  723: linear;
  724: - major bug is fixed in gestion_processus.c (some pipes were not closed).

  862: - HELP function is rewritten to be more friendly (a la OpenVMS);
  863: - external wrapper (rplplot) is written to force usage of gnuplot provided
  864: by RPL/2 if it is built during build process. If this build does not exist,
  865: it tries to launch regular gnuplot;
  866: - gnuplot is added to source tree to avoid some trouble between preinstalled
  867: gnuplot and release used by RPL/2. This addition to source tree is

 1246: fine...);
 1247: - NOT is not correctly formatted in formateur.c:
 1248: Z NOT -> 'NOT Z' but 'A+Z' NOT -> 'NOT A+Z' and 'NOT Z+A' -> 'NOTZ+A'
 1249: with a NOTZ function !
 1250: * Sun Aug 10 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre7c (RPL/2)

 1253: - RPL/2 is tested with efence and valgrind;
 1254: - configure.in script is modified;
 1255: - units.c is modified to be built by gcc-3.3. I only have removed a #if 0/#endif
 1256: structure. I don't know why this code was compiled by gcc-3.3... Maybe

 1316: appear on the same figure). The same mistake is fixed in DRWS intrinsic;
 1317: - LAST is disabled in evaluation subroutine (EVAL and ->NUM intrinsics).
 1318: * Sun May 18 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6j (RPL/2)
 1319: - SLICE intrinsic is added. It is used to draw 3D graphics as contour lines;

 1335: - SCLS is added;
 1336: - DRWS now uses COLS to draw 2D graphics;
 1337: - PPAR and SPAR are written. SPAR returns a list that contains the
 1338: size of the statistical matrix (or "UNAVALAIBLE" if there is any
 1339: statistical variable, or "DISABLED" if its type is not one of the type of
 1340: a statistical matrix.) and XCOL and YCOL parameters. Warning: [[]] SIZE
 1341: returns { 1 0 } and it is not a bug, because a null matrix contains _one_
 1342: null line ! Thus, [[]] STOS SPAR returns { { 1 0 } 1 2 };
 1343: - EXTERNAL intrinsic is added. Warning: by default, extern functions are
 1344: disabled. Arguments of EXTERNAL are case sensitive because the external
 1345: interface is written in C. { ext_sinus } EXTERNAL does not replace the list
 1346: of known external functions but add the new list to the last. { "all" }
 1347: EXTERNAL allows all external functions and { "none" } EXTERNAL removes all
 1348: external names of the known functions;
 1349: - mkrplso.in is modified.
 1350: * Sun Apr 20 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6h (RPL/2)
 1351: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
 1352: - a minor mistake is fixed in recherche_instruction_suivante();
 1353: - some minor memory leaks are fixed in recherche_type() function. They only

 1361: - PUTC and PUTR new intrinsics are added.
 1362: * Sun Apr 13 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6g (RPL/2)
 1363: - a very minor bug is fixed in VISIT intrinsic. It only occurs when
 1364: VISIT does not find a name in level 1;
 1365: - configure.in script is modified to add a new test (--enable-debug
 1366: flag). Configured with this fleg, RPL/2 will be built with electric-fences;
 1367: - GETR (get row[s]) and GETC (get column[s]) are added. These new instructions
 1368: extract a part of a matrix. Syntax: [[ 1 2 3 ][ 2 3 4 ]] { 1 } GETR or
 1369: 'MATRIX' { 2 2 3 } GETR;
 1370: - LOGSCALE intrinsic is improved and now, it can be used as
 1371: { "main" "auxiliary" X Y } LOGSCALE;
 1372: - SCALE intrinsic is used to fix the limits of a graphic. Its syntax is the
 1373: same than AXES:
 1374: { { 60 "ticsonly" 2 } { "automatic" "ticsonly" 10 } } axes
 1375: { "auxiliary" { 60 "ticsonly" "default" } { "automatic" } } axes
 1376: { { -10 10 } "automatic" } SCALE.
 1377: Warning, it is not possible to ask a logarithmic scale with this intrinsic
 1378: because it changes only the dimension of the screen. To have a logarithmic
 1379: scale, you must use LOGSCALE intrinsic:
 1380: { X } LOGSCALE gives a semi-log screen, { "auxiliary" X Y } gives a log-log
 1381: screen on second scale;
 1382: - { X X } autoscale and { Y Y } logscale are now invalid;
 1383: - *D is added (depth multiplication, for 3D graphics);
 1384: - a new intrinsic (*S) is added. It changes the scale of a graphic (X, Y
 1385: and Z axes). The result of *S is the same than DUP DUP *H *W *D;
 1386: - a major bug is fixed in GETI instrinsic when it is used with a name
 1387: that contains a matrix or a vector (bad upper bounds conditions in
 1388: incrementation);
 1389: - DISP intrinsic now uses the 33-th flag. When it is not set
 1390: (default), a final carriage return is sent to the terminal;
 1391: - AXES intrinsic only takes a list that can contains the keywork
 1392: "main" or "auxiliary". Before this modification, this keyword was in
 1393: the first stack level;
 1394: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
 1395: - in appel_gnuplot(), stdin is closed when gnuplot is called with -raise
 1396: option;
 1397: - LAST is now disabled in the main loop of INT intrinsic;
 1398: - expm1 and lnp1 are rewritten to use expm1 and log1p from math.h.
 1399: * Sun Apr 6 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6f (RPL/2)
 1400: - a major bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. It occurs with DRAW
 1401: intrinsic when the equation cannot be evaluated (for example 'SIN(X)/X'
 1402: in 0);
 1403: - LAST is disabled in the main loop of DRAW intrinsic;
 1404: - a major bug is fixed in DRAW intrinsic. When an error occurs in the
 1405: evaluation of an equation, the system stack is returned corrupted to the
 1406: sequencer;
 1407: - the same minor bug is fixed in FOR and START. It only occurs when the limits
 1408: of a loop are not integer or real.
 1409: * Sun Mar 31 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6e (RPL/2)
 1410: - the compilation stage aborts with an error message when two definitions
 1411: have the same name. To improve the compilation() subroutine, I have to
 1412: add some tests in gestion_variables.c;
 1413: - recherche_type() subroutine ad some other connex subroutines are improved.
 1414: Now, some syntax errors about object are caught and do not perform sequencer
 1415: hangup;
 1416: - readline is upgraded (minor compilation bug with recent gcc);
 1417: - Makefile.am's and configure.in scripts are improved.
 1418: * Fri Mar 14 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6d (RPL/2)
 1419: - DRWS intrinsic is written. Two datastyles are associated: SCATTER (2D
 1420: and 3D) and HISTOGRAM (only 2D, but 3 columns are accepted, the third shown
 1421: the boxwidth, 1 by default);
 1422: - recherche_type() is rewritten to be faster;
 1423: - gsl is upgraded (release 1.3);
 1424: - ncurses is upgraded and patched (release 5.3);
 1425: - recherche_instruction_suivante() is fixed (string research with included
 1426: '"') and rewritten to be faster;
 1427: - appel_gnuplot() is fixed. When no graphic was available, it returned a
 1428: segfault.
 1429: * Sun Mar 9 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6c (RPL/2)
 1430: - RPL/2 is compiled by gcc-3.2.2 and seems to work;
 1431: - the same minor bug is fixed in REDRAW and DRAX functions;
 1432: - a minor fix is written in DRAW function (2D and 3D);
 1433: - AXES intrinsic is improved. Now { { pi "ticsonly" 4 } "automatic" } DRAX
 1434: is accepted;
 1435: - a minor bug is fixed in VISIT intrinsic.
 1436: * Sun Jan 26 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6b (RPL/2)
 1437: - a minor bug is fixed in evaluation subroutine;
 1438: - vim syntax file is improved;
 1439: - DRAW (wireframe section) is fixed. When an error occurs in the evaluation
 1440: of a 3D-graphic (for example 'SIN(R)/R' with 'R=SQRT(X**2+Y**2)' in X=0 and
 1441: Y=0), no graph was procuced (it results from a bug in gnuplot, and this fix
 1442: is a quick and dirty workaround...);
