CXXFLAGS, and LDFLAGS by the buildlink.mk files so remove the extra
definitions to add them from the package Makefiles. As advised by the
bsd.buildlink.mk file, also ensure that the buildlink.mk files are
included prior to defining any package-specific CFLAGS/LDFLAGS to ensure
that the buildlink directories are at the head of the compiler search
paths.
the plugging of several memory leaks, fixes to the regular expression
engine, the addition of a Unicode character classes, better support for
64-bit platorms, and updates of many modules in the base Perl Library.
See perldelta.pod for more details.
Also update p5-Data-Dumper, p5-Devel-DProf, and p5-Devel-Peek to the
latest versions distributed with the perl-5.6.1 sources, and libperl to
5.6.1 to match the perl package.
Changes since 1.05:
Version 1.06 15/12/2000
- Bug where functions could be used as procedures (and vice
versa) fixed.
- Fixed bug in the VAL function where it would sometimes return
the wrong result as the string being converted was not
terminated properly.
- Fixed bug in BPUT introduced in 1.05.
- HIMEM can now be changed.
- Blank lines in files are no longer discarded when loading a
program.
- The initial value and step used if the lines of a program are
renumbered when loading a program have been changed to 1 and
1 respectively, the idea being that they will match the numbers
of the lines of the program in the file in an editor.
- Under RISC OS, the 'edit' command can now invoke editors such
as StrongED and Zap.
- Added limited support for making BBC MOS calls via USR and
CALL so that OS_Byte 0 could be used to determine the type of
the machine on which the interpreter is being run.
Version 1.07 01/01/2001
- Fixed bug in function SUM when the argument was a string array.
The function should return all of the strings in the array
concatenated together but it was producing rubbish.
- Fixed bug in function SUM LEN. This was failing with the error
message 'type mismatch: array wanted'.
- Fixed bugs in the EOF and EXT functions that show up when the
file is not a disk file but, for example, a serial port.
- Sorted out some more portability issues, but at a cost of
making the program about 10% slower.
- The code for the OSCLI ... TO statement has been improved.
- The RISC OS version of the program has been changed to use
direct OS calls in fileio.c instead of C library functions. This
allows Basic programs to carry out I/O operations on a file using
a mixture of Basic statements and SWIs.
- The INPUT# code has been tidied up.
- Typing in token values directly on the command line is now
handled correctly, for example, typing in the hex value &F1
no longer gives the error 'The interpreter has gone wrong'.
- Under NetBSD and Linux, the handling of I/O redirection on the
program's command line has been sorted out. It is now possible
to invoke the program so that it takes input from or directs
output to a file instead of using the keyboard for input and
screen for output.
- The QUIT command can now optinally be followed by a value that
the interpreter passes back to the underlying operating system
as a return or status code.
Version 1.08 19/04/2001
- Fixed 'big endian' bug in code that checks if a file contains
a tokenised Basic program. The test was failing on big endian
machines.
- Changed code that writes the four byte start marker at the
start of a Basic program so that it is always written in
the same order, that is, fixed another endian bug.
- Extended the WAIT statement so that the time to wait can
be supplied. The time interval is in centiseconds.
Version 1.09 29/04/2001
- Fixed bug in INSTR where the end of the string being searched
was missed when the first character of the wanted string
occured a number of times in the search string.
- Tidied up STR function so that STR$~ produced the same results
as PRINT~, for 'STR$~255' now produced 'FF' instead of 'ff'.
Also changed the format for floating point values so that an
exponent is marked with an 'E' instead of an 'e'.
- Fixed bug in INPUT statement where INPUT ' cleared the screen
instead of skipping to the next line.
- Fixed bug in INPUT statement where 'INPUT TAB() <variable>'
printed a '?' prompt when it should not have done so.
- Fixed a problem in EVAL where the pointer to the expression
that contained the EVAL function was being corrupted if the
string being evaluated contained a reference to a function
that had not been called before. 'EVAL(EVAL(a$))' now works
as well.
Version 1.10 28/05/2001
- Fixed bug in EDIT introduced fixing EVAL in version 1.09. A
'bad token' error message was being produced when editing a
single line with EDIT <line> under DOS and Unix. The amended
line was being saved correctly but the error message was then
being displayed.
- Tidied up handling of @% in PRINT and STR$ when the number of
digits to print is zero. '@%=0: PRINT PI' now produces
3.141592654 instead of 3, as per the Acorn interpreter.
- Added function XLATE$. This either translates a string using
a user-supplied translate table or translates it to lower case
if no translate table is supplied.
- Added function VERIFY. This is used to check that a string
contains only specific characters.
- Changed EDIT and EDITO so that EDIT uses the last EDITO value
instead of LISTO when converting the program to text when it
is edited. If EDITO has not been used, the LISTO value is
used instead.
allows setting:
PY_SETUP_SUBST+= FOO=${FOO}
and having ${FILESDIR}/Setup.in piped through a sed expression with:
s!@FOO@!${FOO}!g
This allows python module package Makefiles to specify other things they
would like to substitute besides just @LOCALBASE@ and @X11BASE@.
linking against installed libraries or finding installed headers except
for those that are explicitly linked into ${BUILDLINK_INCDIR} and
${BUILDLINK_LIBDIR}.
Use BUILDLINK_INCDIR, BUILDLINK_LIBDIR for locations of linked headers
and libraries. Create a variable BUILDLINK_TARGETS whose value is the
list of build-link targets to execute.
a shared library that depends on libtcl83.so. The TCL_SHLIB_LD command was
set to the incorrect value for ELF platforms, relying on "ld" which doesn't
understand the -Wl,... options it receives via ${TCL_LIB_SPEC}. Patch the
configure script to set TCL_SHLIB_LD to the proper value on NetBSD systems
depending on whether they are ELF or a.out, and also modify TCL_LIB_SPEC
to include -Wl,-rpath,... or -R... accordingly.
Bump version number to 8.3.2nb2.
and do-install targets. This is better as the configure script gets
called with the correct environment settings. Also set the values for
INSTALL_PROGRAM and INSTALL_DATA used in the project's Makefile to their
pkgsrc BSD_* counterparts.
VERSION 4.0.5
=============
* FIXED: Actually make re-hashing predicates work. This bug causes
large (dynamic) predicates that are queried while they are build
to show linear rather than constant-time access behaviour. Perfomance
difference on victim programs can be dramatic!
* ENHANCED: GNU-readline interface. Detect useful additions from readline
4.2, avoid type-conflicts and handle re-entrance through XPCE much more
cleanly as well as aborts.
* PORT: Many C-compiler warnings, making the native IRIX cc compile
SWI-Prolog silently. Improved detection of wait() variations.
Thanks to Jean Wang for providing me with access to their machine.
* ENHANCED: Handling of prolog_edit:select_location/3. Enhancement
exploited by XPCE to use GUI-based selection if running from GUI.
* ADDED: -s file to load a script-file in addition to the user
initialisation file.
* ADDED: -q commandline option to make the system operate silently.
* ADDED: PrologScript support using #!, providing direct scripting
in Unix and additional parameters on MS-Windows.
* FIXED: Wipe the anonymous clauses for meta-calling on $dcall/1 as
soon as possible. Reported by Stefan Mueller.
* ADDED: Save home in saved-state for class development and kernel. This
enables saved-states to find the installed SWI-Prolog. Especially
useful for Windows.
* ADDED: Save default stack limits in the Windows registry and add a
menu item to the manpce/0 File/Edit Preferences menu to manage these
registry settings.
nhc98 1.04 (2001-05-21) features
* New: Support for extended module namespaces of the form
Long.Hierarchical.Module.Name is now provided in both nhc98 and
hmake.
* Update: Improved printing of I/O error messages.
* Update: Improved (more accurate) time profiling now provided.
* Bugfix: An identifier hidden on import and redefined in the
current module, then exported, but also imported qualified and
used qualified in the current module, led to an incorrect
interface file being generated.
* Bugfix: hmake issued an unnecessary -cpp flag on some literate
files.
* Bugfix: Type of IO.hSetPosn :: Handle -> HandlePosn -> IO () was
incorrect
* Bugfix: Compile-time error in src/tracer/runtime/ident.c on RedHat
7 and other systems using the new ISO C standard for fpos_t.
* Bugfix: A file opened in ReadMode or WriteMode was actually opened
in ReadWriteMode, so if the file had strict permissions the
correct opening command would fail. Conversely, opening in
ReadWriteMode actually gave ReadMode instead, and file updates
silently failed.
* Bugfix: Operator sections suffered from priority inversion, for
example (^2*3) was incorrectly parsed as (^(2*3)), even though ^
binds more tightly than *.
* Bugfix: The library function Directory.createDirectory gave
strange permissions to the new directory. (Mode was in hex, but
should have been octal!)
The following updates and bugfixes are specifically for Hat, the
redex-trail-based tracing and debugging system.
* New architecture: Traced programs now build their trails in files,
not in the heap. This has four consequences: (1) you no longer
need to give your program large amounts of extra memory to trace
it; but (2) you may need to have large amounts of free disk space,
particularly to trace long-running programs; (3) for the moment,
traced programs now run even slower (we are working to improve
this); and (4) trails are now first-class objects, so new tools
can manipulate them to provide several different views of the
computation.
* New tools: Storing trails in files means we can now provide more
tools to examine them. The original graphical browser is now
renamed hat-trail, and can fully explore the redex trails in file.
hat-stack gives a virtual stack back-trace from a trail file (no
need to re-run the program). hat-observe gives you HOOD-like
observation of the input and output from functions. hat-detect
does algorithmic debugging in the style of Freja; it discovers and
identifies the location of a bug after asking you some simple
questions. hat-check verifies the integrity of the trail file,
prints a textual dump, and gives statistics about its contents.
* Update: Fuller Standard Library support for tracing: added
Directory, System, CPUTime, Random. (Still missing: Time, Locale.)
* Update: More Haskell'98 language features are accepted: named
fields can now be traced, although the hat tools don't yet show
them in source form. Pattern bindings are also handled better.

5.6.0nb1 as this package no longer builds and installs libperl.so as a
shared library. Instead, libperl.so is built and installed by the perl
(as of 5.6.0nb6) if the platform supports shared libraries (or if
MKPIC=yes). The libperl package again only installs DynaLoader.o as a
relocatable shared object.
and installing libperl as a shared libarary on platforms that support
shared libraries (or those that explicitly define MKPIC=yes). As a
compromise for those platforms that have the need for speed and thus a
statically-linked perl binary, explicitly link perl against a static
libperl.a.
Before this update, the current situtation was that we installed the static
library in perl and the shared library in libperl. This caused the wrong
linker flags to be passed to perl packages and they might have gotten a
hidden dependency on libperl depending on whether they were built with or
without libperl installed. Avoid all this by only having the static or
shared library installed at any time.
