Algorithmic changes
* Input of numbers in bases 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 is now done in linear bit
complexity as opposed to O(N^2). Useful for all kinds of persistency.
Implementation changes
* Fixed several bugs in the integer input and output routines that could be
blamed for random crashes in the following cases: output in base 32 for
quite large numbers, input in base 2 for fixnums and input in base 3 for
fixnums on a 64 bit target.
* Fixed crash when radix specifiers were used in input streams.
* Speed up on x86_64 and ia64 by adding some inline assembly.
Other changes
* Fixes for compilation on MacOS X and little endian Mips.

script. This is needed if you want to use mkoctfile once the package is
installed. For example, on NetBSD-1.6* systems, it is important to point
to the gcc3 package tools instead of the base system compilers.
It is small and simple to use but with much power and versatility underneath.
Features include customizable functions, units, arbitrary precision, plotting,
and a graphical interface (GTK+) that uses a one-line fault-tolerant expression
entry (although it supports optional traditional buttons).
Changes 2.0.1:
This is a maintenance version mainly to fix a number of minor bugs and
issues. Some rather nasty bugs were Windows-specific.
Changes 2.0.0:
Many things have changed since 1.0. The R language has acquired namespaces,
exception handling constructs, formal methods and classes, much improved
garbage collection, generalized I/O via connection objects, and
considerable improvements in the graphics area. The user workspace has been
reorganized, and so has the set of packages that ship with R. Several
"recommended packages" deemed indispensable in a statistical system are
bundled. In addition, there has been a large number of more specific new
functions, tweaks, and bugfixes.
Changes:
- Using "memmove()" instead of deprecated "bcopy()".
- Added "tests/tutor.in", which is an incomplete Mathomatic tutor.
- Many improvements to scripts in the tests directory.
- Removed "calculate factor" option.
- Code cleanup.
- Added more modulus simplification.
- Simplify ((a%n)*integer+b)%n to (a*integer+b)%n generally and completely.
- real^complex and complex^complex are now approximated.
Changes:
- Removed obsolete short variable name code and bumped up "MAX_VARS" to 500.
- Fixed problem with conflicting names and code for "cpow()" and "cexp()".
Renamed to "complex_pow()" and "complex_exp()".
Unfortunately, guile{,14}/buildlink3.mk directly includes it, and I don't
know which dependencies actually need libltdl, so it was a recursive bump.
Hopefully this recursive inclusion can be ripped out of
guile{,14}/buildlink3.mk at some point and bubble down to dependencies that
actually use libltdl, avoiding this headache in the future....
Changes:
- Added "code integer" command, which outputs working C code with integer
variables.
- Changed makefile to use libncurses instead of libcurses.
- Added more simplification rules for modulus.
as it's only used internally by bsd.prefs.mk.
* Make _PKGSRCDIR a public variable by renaming it to PKGSRCDIR.
Also, generate its value from ${_PKGSRC_TOPDIR} so it's less fragile
than the old method of stripping off the last two components of
${.CURDIR}. PKGSRCDIR may now be used after bsd.prefs.mk is defined.
* Change all references to _PKGSRCDIR to PKGSRCDIR.
Changes:
Changed sum and product commands to not create another equation if the
result is a constant. If the result is a constant, it is just displayed.
Mathomatic now approximates -1^(2^.5) and the like.
Added modulus (%) operator.
Added simplification of univariate modulus expressions.
Changed univariate modulus simplification to multivariate, integer only
simplification.
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
v4.1
COSMETIC/USABILITY IMPROVEMENTS
- The File->Description dialog now updates automatically if you leave it open
while loading a new pattern file. Also, any previous description dialog is
closed when you open a new one.
- GtkLife now issues a warning dialog if it appears the application was not
propery installed (i.e., "make" without "make install").
- GtkLife now issues a warning dialog if the configured pattern collection
is not found.
BUG FIXES
- Fixed a bug that prevents the start/stop button from changing color when
Gtk+ has debugging enabled (thanks to James Gregory for reporting).
- Fixed stair-stepping effect when drawing diagonal lines.
MISCELLANEOUS
- Better ChangeLog :-)
v4.0
NEW FUNCTIONALITY
- The world size has been bumped up to 1 million x 1 million.
- Added View->Find Active Cells, to locate a live (and preferably active)
region and center on it.
- gtklife has a new default file format, GLF, which is similar to RLE.
- gtklife can now handle multiple file formats: Life 1.05 (the original
format), Life 1.06, RLE, XLife, and GLF. File type is auto-detected when
loading. Information on file formats was added to the "File Handling"
section of the documentation, and a page was added giving detailed
information on the GLF format.
- You can now set a per-session pattern directory
(File->Change Pattern Collection) as well as a default pattern directory
(Preferences/File/Default Pattern Collection).
- Sidebar patterns can now be bundled into sub-directories. Directories will
be displayed with trailing slashes. Click on a directory name to display
its contents in a clickable list beneath the sidebar.
- You can now specify a pattern collection directory on the command line
(previously only individual patterns could be loaded via command line).
- The pattern description has been made unbounded in length and width. An
error will occur if you attempt to save a pattern with a too-large
description to a LIF or RLE pattern file.
COSMETIC/USABILITY IMPROVEMENTS
- Mouse wheel over the description text box now scrolls the description
(previously you had to hover the mouse over the scrollbar).
- The color picker in Preferences now uses the contents (if any) of the
corresponding text entry as its starting color.
- Recent files in the File menu now display full path as a tooltip.
- Sidebar scrollbar is now only displayed when needed.
PATTERN COLLECTION CHANGES
- A new pattern collection, JSLife by Jason Summers, is now available as an
option. The sidebar can be set to display the original LifeP, JSLife, or
a custom collection of your own.
- Patterns were reorganized into a hierarchical format.
- Patterns were renamed to be more human-readable.
- Patterns were converted to GLF for speed of loading.
- Pattern descriptions were reformatted.
- Paul Rendell's Turing Machine pattern was added to the LifeP collection.
- Added a longer description to the Unit Cell pattern.
- Now that we have a command to locate active cells, re-centered the Jaws
pattern.
- Note: Due to a minor change in the config file, any custom pattern
directory that you have chosen previously will be reset.
DOCUMENTATION IMPROVEMENTS
- Fixed broken link to the Scientific American article in help.
MISCELLANEOUS
- The install process now deletes any existing patterns bundle before copying
over the new patterns.
- Added new nifty program icons based on the "pulsar".
Changes since 11.3c:
Improved eliminate command error handling.
Added "eliminate all" command.
Code cleanup.
Man pages for the prime number tools were contributed
by David Moreno Garza. Many thanks.
Renamed the Mathomatic directory in the source tarball to
"mathomatic-`cat VERSION`".
Added several comments to the source code.
Renamed prime number tools to "matho-*".
Improvement to full simplification.
Tried something new with uf_simp() that fixed a problem with Mathomatic
solve complicating expressions.
Minor bugfix to eliminate command.
All library names listed by *.la files no longer need to be listed
in the PLIST, e.g., instead of:
lib/libfoo.a
lib/libfoo.la
lib/libfoo.so
lib/libfoo.so.0
lib/libfoo.so.0.1
one simply needs:
lib/libfoo.la
and bsd.pkg.mk will automatically ensure that the additional library
names are listed in the installed package +CONTENTS file.
Also make LIBTOOLIZE_PLIST default to "yes".
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.
installed files.
- libtoolize a few more lines which seem to have been missed in the original
libtoolization.
- enable loading of shared objects which lets the various .oct files installed
by octave-forge actually work instead of just the .m files.
which are the full option names used to set rpath directives for the
linker and the compiler, respectively. In places were we are invoking
the linker, use "${LINKER_RPATH_FLAG} <path>", where the space is
inserted in case the flag is a word, e.g. -rpath. The default values
of *_RPATH_FLAG are set by the compiler/*.mk files, depending on the
compiler that you use. They may be overridden on a ${OPSYS}-specific
basis by setting _OPSYS_LINKER_RPATH_FLAG and _OPSYS_COMPILER_RPATH_FLAG,
respectively. Garbage-collect _OPSYS_RPATH_NAME and _COMPILER_LD_FLAG.
The octave-forge project contains functions for Octave which are not in
the main distribution. While the main Octave distribution is
conservative about accepting new functions and changes, octave-forge is
very open. As a result, be prepared for some lower quality code and
more rapidly changing interfaces to the functions in octave-forge.
notable changes besides bugfixes are:
** Multifit routines now handle iterations where |f| is already
minimised to zero, without division by zero.
** Numerical derivatives should now be calculated using the
gsl_deriv_forward, gsl_deriv_central and gsl_deriv_backward functions,
which accept a step-size argument in addition to the position x. The
original gsl_diff functions (without the step-size) are deprecated.
** The tridiagonal matrix solvers gsl_linalg_solve_symm_tridiag,
gsl_linalg_solve_tridiag, gsl_linalg_solve_symm_cyc_tridiag,
gsl_linalg_solve_cyc_tridiag now use the GSL_ERROR macro to report
errors, instead of simply returning an error code. The arguments to
these functions must now use exact lengths with no additional
elements. For cyclic systems all vectors must be of length N, for
tridiagonal systems the offdiagonal elements must be of length N-1.
** The singular value decomposition routines gsl_linalg_SV_decomp and
gsl_linalg_SV_decomp_mod now handle the SVD of a column vector (N=1,
arbitrary M), which can occur in linear fitting.
** Added Stefan-Boltzmann constant and Thomson cross section to
physical constants
Changes:
"factor number" command now accepts more than one integer.
Added file "mathomatic.ico".
Added temporary fix for 64 bit longs.
Added file "VERSION" which contains the version number of Mathomatic.
"makefile" modified.
Renamed "lgpl.txt" to "LICENSE.txt".
"make install" now installs all HTML files in "/usr/local/doc/mathomatic".
Added compile-time define "TIMEOUT_SECONDS".
Useful for limiting the amount of time Mathomatic can run as a CGI.
LibTomMath provides highly optimized and portable routines for a
vast majority of integer based number theoretic applications
(including public key cryptography). LibTomMath is not a cryptographic
toolkit itself but it can be used to write one [Used in LibTomCrypt
for RSA, DH and ECC public key routines].
Changes:
Proper exit after error reading files on the command line.
Added code to preserve roots of integers, if the result is irrational.
Fixed "calculate >filename".
Made "+/-2^.5" work as expected.
Code cleanup.
Full simplify added for every loop of taylor command.
Removed "replace temp" option, so that the "temp" variable can be renamed.

Changes:
Substantial change/improvement to simplify command.
Added some more code to fix floating point inaccuracies.
Improved solving. y=(x+1/x)^3 solves both ways, now.
Full simplify after every loop in derivative command added.
Move derivative and taylor commands to "diff.c".
Added "-m" option to Mathomatic (memory size multiplier).
It sets the size of equation spaces at run time.
important changes:
- Ports of Numeric functions
A bunch of Numeric functions were ported to numarray in the new
libnumeric module. To get these import from numarray.numeric. Most
notable among these are put, putmask, take, argmin, and argmax. Also
added were sort, argsort, concatenate, repeat and resize. These are
independent ports/implementations in C done for the purpose of best
Numeric compatibility and small array performance. The numarray
versions, which handle additional cases, still exist and are the
default in numarray proper.
- Faster matrix multiply
The setup for numarray's matrix multiply was moved into C-code. This
makes it faster for small matrices.
- bug fixes
For a complete list of changes see:
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=250453
# XXX: following comment still true for buildlink3?
# R does ugly things in the configure to get the default list of arguments
# for linking Fortran, which exposes the buildlink2 tricks so clean up
# afterwards
Changes:
Renamed the Mathomatic executable to "mathomatic".
Add inverse Laplace transform. Usage: laplace inverse x
Fixed bug in solving for zero, which occurred when there were no
variables in the divisor.
Some improvement in solve routine.
This only worked with gnumeric-1.0.x, and depends on gnome1 structures.
gnumeric is at 1.2.x now, uses gnome2 and comes with an own plotting
package.
Should fix PR pkg/26009 by MLH.
This release fixes a bug related to post incrementing, some regression failures related to compiling under cygwin, and a number of gcc compiler warnings.
Changes:
Slight improvement to integrate and laplace commands.
Integrate/laplace x on (a+x)/(b+c) works now.
Added more examples to the documentation (am.htm).
2 to 10 times speedup for simplify command by fixing polynomial factoring.
The primary purpose of this release is to correct problems on big-endian
64 bit platforms. It also introduces some test code to verify that the
functions and constants work properly.
Changes since 11.2:
Doubled the default amount of memory consumption to 11 megabytes.
This allows equations twice as large.
Fixed bug factoring infinity.
Slight improvement to "integrate" command.
Trap window resize signal and set number of screen columns and rows.
Code cleanup.
Fixed factoring of constants in factor command.
Added "laplace" command.
Allow "#" as a comment, as long as it is not immediately followed by
a number.
Enabled shelling out for all versions with the "!" command.
Improvement and speedup for poly_gcd() and poly2_gcd().
Slight improvement in polynomial factoring made by deleting 1 line of code.
Use getopt(3) to parse command line options.
Made "-c" and "-h" options work together. If both are specified,
work in HTML mono mode.
CHANGES IN R VERSION 1.9.1
NEW FEATURES
o as.Date() now has a method for "POSIXlt" objects.
o mean() has a method for "difftime" objects and so summary()
works for such objects.
o legend() has a new argument 'pt.cex'.
o plot.ts() has more arguments, particularly 'yax.flip'.
o heatmap() has a new 'keep.dendro' argument.
o The default barplot method now handles vectors and 1-d arrays
(e.g., obtained by table()) the same, and uses grey instead of
heat color palettes in these cases. (Also fixes PR#6776.)
o nls() now looks for variables and functions in its formula in
the environment of the formula before the search path, in the
same way lm() etc look for variables in their formulae.
DEPRECATED & DEFUNCT
o Support for non-IEEE-754 arithmetic (which has been untested
for some time) will be removed in the next full release.
o Direct use of R INSTALL|REMOVE|BATCH|COMPILE|SHLIB is
deprecated: use R CMD instead.
o The gnome/GNOME graphics device is deprecated and will be
removed in the next full release.
Plus Bug Fixes.
Changes since 11.1c:
Moved notification of polynomial factoring success to debug level 1 or higher.
Removed "NO_COMPLEX_ROOTS" compile-time define option.
I am thinking of making this a run-time option.
Increased security of "SECURE" compile-time define.
Absolutely no file operations are allowed or linked in.
Added check for terminal with isatty().
This allows better piping into Mathomatic.
Split up change-log ("changes.txt" and "changes_old.txt").
Changed "x!" to mean gamma(x+1) for Laplace transforms.
Fixed parsing of things like "2e#", which failed before,
thinking it was scientific notation.
Wrote "primes/twin.c", to find twin primes.
Added "help usage" command.
Allow output of "help" command to be redirected to a file.
Fixed parsing of variable names (like "pig", which didn't work right).
Added "integrate" command.
Fixed "derivative" command.
Code cleanup.
Fixed "taylor" command.
The step from 1.0.12 to 1.2.12 is too large to mention all changes.
pkgsrc issues:
-use gnome2
-add python support (python23 provides a shared lib)
-XXX I've enabled libgda/gnomedb, this seems to be completelely
non-functional to me, but perhaps it is just my setup...
Changes since 11.1:
Added Java code generation (usage: "code java").
Added "list export" option, to display equations in exportable format.
They can be cut-and-pasted to another math program with this option.
Added a blank line after every equation listed with the "list" and
"code" commands. Looks better.
Made "MAX_VAR_LEN" completely flexible (can be set to any value; set to 80).
Improved factoring of polynomials with repeated factors by trying to
differentiate with respect to every variable.
Changes:
- Fixed "makefile" to be completely portable.
No longer requires GNU make.
- Simplified some code.
- Converted token_type.kind to enum type for better type checking.
- Removed all "unsigned" variables and type casts.
- Simplified "simplify" command code. Some speed up.
- Moved "*.in" and "fix*" to directory "tests".
- Implemented long variable names (up to 40 characters).
building even though it uses INSTALL_DATA on them so set SHAREMODE=644
rather than have to patch an ever increasing number of files.
Idea from Julio M. Merino Vidal.
Changes:
- Removed calc() fraction code for accuracy because of fraction slack
that was implemented in version 10.9c.
- Solve increase power function wasn't working with odd number roots.
Fixed. Appears to be another gcc optimizer bug.
- Improved simplify command.
- Tweaked factor_constants().
- Some changes to "makefile" for "readline" support.
"GNU make" or "gmake" required now.
- Fixed solving of "x^(1/99)=x".
- Fixed readline bug.
Changes:
- Changed unfactoring to improve simplification (again). This was a
bug fix (first one in a long time).
- Restored "epsilon" to original value in version 10.9b. Required
for factoring large polynomials.
- Changed factor_times() to preserve divides. This improved the
"unfactor" command.
- Added polynomial factoring to the very beginning of "simplify"
command. This is necessary in case you "unfactor" a complicated
equation, then "simplify".
USER-VISIBLE CHANGES
o Underscore '_' is now allowed in syntactically valid names, and
make.names() no longer changes underscores. Very old code
that makes use of underscore for assignment may now give
confusing error messages.
o Package 'base' has been split into packages 'base', 'graphics',
'stats' and 'utils'. All four are loaded in a default
installation, but the separation allows a 'lean and mean'
version of R to be used for tasks such as building indices.
Packages ctest, eda, modreg, mva, nls, stepfun and ts have been
merged into stats, and lqs has been returned to MASS. In all
cases a stub has been left that will issue a warning and ensure
that the appropriate new home is loaded. All the time series
datasets have been moved to package stats. Sweave has been
moved to utils.
Package mle has been moved to stats4 which will become the
central place for statistical S4 classes and methods
distributed with base R. Package mle remains as a stub.
Users may notice that code in .Rprofile is run with only the
new base loaded and so functions may now not be found. For
example, ps.options(horizontal = TRUE) should be preceded by
library(graphics) or called as graphics::ps.options or,
better, set as a hook -- see ?setHook.
o There has been a concerted effort to speed up the startup of
an R session: it now takes about 2/3rds of the time of 1.8.1.
o A warning is issued at startup in a UTF-8 locale, as currently R
only supports single-byte encodings.
plus many new features and bug fixes.
Changes:
- Removed some simplification optimizations in favor of correctness
and simpler code. Minor slowdown.
- Doubled "MAX_COMPARE_TERMS".
- Simplify order poly_div then smart_div reversed.
- Kludge for size checking in poly_div removed.
- Broke "am.in". Edited.
- Added "simplify poly" option to do poly_div first.
Changes:
- Fixed HTML mode "screen_rows" and "screen_columns" to be unlimited.
- Allow square brackets ([]) as parentheses and optimized parser.
- Simplification was improved.
Changes are bug-fixes mostly, but also synchronizes bundled GD
with GD 2.0.22 and updates PCRE to version 4.5. Several NetBSD
patches were integrated too, so future pkgsrc updates would
be even more smooth.
Full list of changes since PHP 4.3.4 is available at:
http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-4.php#4.3.6http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-4.php#4.3.5
Changes since 10.9b:
- Removed more MS-DOS specific code; functionality improved.
- Implemented what I call "fraction slack". This perfects float to
fraction conversion, and now Mathomatic doesn't rely on perfect
floating point routines. "-O" option added to CFLAGS in file
"makefile" (we can do this now).
- Changed modf() to fmod() where possible.
- Accuracy increased one more digit by reducing the "epsilon" variable.
- Cleaned up "makefile".
- Took a step towards internationalization with gettext(3) by
calling _() for all English strings. Everything ported except for
the "help" command.
- Commented out some unfactoring code that wasn't helpful and took out
the "pause" command from "all.in" for easier testing.
- Rearranged "simplify" command to simplify better.
- Removed some more unfactoring code and made simplification much
better. Go figure. Perfection has been achieved.
- Added "unfactor fully" option.
- Added "make test" to fully test Mathomatic after compilation.
- Removed masking of 8th bit in all Mathomatic input.
- Updated primes program with a nice user interface.
* Version for GNOME 2.6 (FINAL) call for tarballs. Includes:
- new locales for pa, en_GB, bg and ga.
- localized online user documentation from the Sun translation team.
for de, es, fr, it, ja, ko, sv, zh_CN, zh_HK and zh_TW.
Packaged by Bruce J.A. Nourish, and slightly modified by me.
Mathomatic is an automatic algebraic manipulator that is self-testing
and strictly follows the rules of algebra.
Mathomatic is an interpreter that can:
- Solve, simplify, and compare algebraic equations.
- Combine simultaneous equations.
- Perform basic calculus operations.
- Generate the sensitivity formula for one or more variables in an
equation.
- Act like a double precision floating point programmable calculator.
- Perform complex number and polynomial arithmetic.
- Compute the Greatest Common Divisor of numbers or polynomials.
- Generate "C" code from equations.
explicitly unset NeedFunctionPrototypes, which can no longer safely be done in recent
X11 sources (as _Xconst is only defined if this is set, yet is used everywhere).
by moving the inclusion of buildlink3.mk files outside of the protected
region. This bug would be seen by users that have set PREFER_PKGSRC
or PREFER_NATIVE to non-default values.
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES should be ordered so that for any package in the
list, that package doesn't depend on any packages to the left of it
in the list. This ordering property is used to check for builtin
packages in the correct order. The problem was that including a
buildlink3.mk file for <pkg> correctly ensured that <pkg> was removed
from BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and appended to the end. However, since the
inclusion of any other buildlink3.mk files within that buildlink3.mk
was in a region that was protected against multiple inclusion, those
dependencies weren't also moved to the end of BUILDLINK_PACKAGES.
Many, many, many additions, bug fixes, and improvements since the last
packaged version. Too many to even summarize here. Please refer to the
change log in the distfile or on the homepage.
Changes sinec 5.1.12:
* [ES] use multiplication sign in formulae of regression report
* [ES] allow for DL modules to define functions of 4 and 5 parameters
* [ES] fixed compilation under FreeBSD-5.1 and OS/X
* [ES] on 64-bit platforms, when specific compiler/optimization
combinations were used, some dialogs could crash randomly
* [ES] on 64-bit platforms, when specific compiler/optimization
combinations were used, X run-time warnings could be issued
about unrecognized XKeySym's
* [ES] set filling defaulted to even-odd filling rule in the X11
driver
* [ES] fixed potential memory corruption
* [ES] fixed page size sync in the free mode
* [TO] fixed a race condition in the grace_np library
* [ES] enabled annotated values for HILO sets
* [ES] added IMIN(x) and IMAX(x) functions returning index of minimal or
maximal value of array x
* [ES] updates for T1lib-5.0 API
* [WB] documented commands for calculating running properties
* [MD] enabled font kerning in the MIF driver
* [ES] Grace might fail starting in the GUI mode when a certain
sequence of command line arguments was passed
* One more slight adjustment to the fix for bug 135064
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135064)
Entering numbers that start with the numeric point character ('.")
are now visibly displayed.
* Adjustment to the fix for bug 135064
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135064)
Fix to remove a potential spurious initial thousands separator
character after a change sign operation.
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.
