This is a major release. Significant changes include:
* calc may be built with static or dynamic shared libraries
* overhauled Makefiles to use system targets
- replaced compiler sets with host targets
- targets include: linux, OS X, FreeBSD, simple, default
- many changes to Makefile variables
* calc source static and extern variables declared with CPP symbols
- to make it easier to compile under certain Windoz environments
- to assist those who are developing a multi-threaded calc lib
* calc library makes it easier to control parse and scan messages
* added Makefile.simple for hosts without GNU Make
* added custom registers
- when calc is run with the -C flag
* dropped support of md5 and sha-0 hashes
* calc supports real and complex exponentiation bases and exponents
- i.e., 2.5 ^ 3.5, 0.5i ^ 0.25, 2.5 ^ 2.718i, 3.13145i ^ 0.30103i
added TEST_TARGET
changes:
Documentation of # operator, comments, and cscripts.
Documented multi-line statement issues.
Added builtins related to user, system and clock time.
Changed runtime() builtin output.
This release adds changes to better support compiling under cygwin,
improved custom function support, including the addition of the
pmodm127 example and config("compile_custom") and config("allow_custom")
calls, and a missing display help file. It fixes configuration
state hashing, document typos, calc -d (to disable printing of the
leading ~), and some compilation warnings reported under OS X.
Fixed calc man page examples to move -f to the end of the line.
Thanks goes to Michael Somos <somos at grail dot cba dot csuohio
dot edu> for pointing this out.
Linux and gcc now compiled with -Wall -W -Wno-comment.
Fixed a post increment that was reported by R. Trinler <trinler at
web dot de> and fixed by Ernest Bowen <ernie at turing dot une dot
edu dot au>.
Fixed pi.cal to not depend on the buggy pre-2.11.9 post increment
behavior.
Added config("cygwin") to determine if calc was compiled under Cygwin.
The config("cygwin") is a read-only configuration value that is 1
when calc was compiled under Cygwin and 0 otherwise. Regression
tests 949 and 950 are skipped when config("cygwin") is true.
The Makefile variable HAVE_NO_IMPLICIT is empty by default so that
the Makefile will test if the compiler has a -Wno-implicit flag.
Added HAVE_UNUSED Makefile variable. If HAVE_UNUSED is empty,
then the Makefile will run the have_unused program to determine
if the unused attribute is supported. If HAVE_UNUSED is set to
-DHAVE_NO_UNUSED, then the unused attribute will not be used.
The Makefile builds have_unused.h which defines, if the unused
attribute is supported:
#define HAVE_UNUSED /* yes */
#define UNUSED __attribute__((unused)) /* yes */
or defines, if the unused is not supported (or if the Makefile
variable is HAVE_UNUSED= -DHAVE_NO_UNUSED):
#undef HAVE_UNUSED /* no */
#define UNUSED /* no */
Fixed numerous warnings about comparison between signed and unsigned
value warnings and unused parameter warnings in version.c, zrand.c,
string.c, shs1.c, shs.c, qtrans.c, qmath.c, qfunc.c, md5.c, matfunc.c,
hist.c, file.c, const.c, blkcpy.c, seed.c, opcodes.c, func.c, qio.c,
zrandom.c, custom/c_argv.c, custom/c_devnull.c, custom/c_help.c,
custom/c_sysinfo.c, addop.c and calc.c.
Fixed some typos in this file.
By default, compile with -O3 -g3. The Makefile comments on how some
distributions might need to use -O2 -g or -O -g.
