Ignore the one in /usr/share/doc/nickle.\n\n \ doc: Expand tabs to spaces in .sgml files\n Makes code examples readable.\n\n \ Build tutorial when docbook2pdf is available\n And build it on debian\n\n \ tutorial: Use sgml entities instead of < and >\n\n Tutorial: twixt doesn't have an optional 'else' block\n This was a proposed feature that was removed\n\n \ Rename nickle tutorial to nickle-tutorial\n Makes any built files include 'nickle' by default\n\n corrected some Nickle Tour nits\n\n Handle OpFarJump in CompileReachable\n A FarJump within a catch block references instructions one or more\n frames outside of the instruction context. When checking for reachable\n code, look down inside the catch blocks to see if any of the FarJumps\n \ within them touch the target instruction.\n Fixes this example:\n void foo() {\n \tfor (;;)\n \t\ttry {\n \t\t} catch uninitialized_value(string x) {\n \t\t\tbreak;\n \t\t}\n }\n Without this fix, the 'break' will not get noticed and no ReturnVoid\n will be appended to the object code for 'foo', leaving the break\n dangling in space.\n\n New instructions IsType and HasMember need entries in OpNames\n Otherwise, the array no longer matches the enum\n\n Fix VALIDATE_EXECUTION test code\n Needed ObjType defined.\n\n \ Update to 2.76\n\n Don't erase twixt pointer during JumpContinue until after stack copy\n Otherwise, if MemCollect occurs during the stack copy, the twixt's\n stack copy can get collected.\n\n Check for lost stack chunks\n \ If a stack chunk gets collected, the 'type' field will get\n cleared. Check to see if this has happened and abort.\n\n Add debug code to check thread validity during execution\n If something gets corrupted, it's useful to have this code to help\n track it down.\n\n Handle initializers with undefined types.\n \ Emit an error instead of crashing.\n\n Handle systems which don't define PATH_MAX (Hurd)\n This is a hack; a correct fix would involve actually allocating the\n correct length object.\n\n Version 2.75\n\n Delete ancient .cvsignore files\n Not exactly useful anymore\n\n Examples shouldn't be executable\n\n \ Fix Source URL in nickle.spec file\n Point at nickle.org, as appropriate.\n\n \ Make 'G' format limit array and struct recursion\n This makes stack traces tractable.\n\n Switch to dh for debian builds\n Vastly simplifies debian/rules...\n\n \ Stop printing recursive structs with 'g' format.\n This gets annoying really quickly, so just terminate the recursive\n struct printing right away.\n\n \ Handle ref types in &foo->bar operations\n For some reason, this case was left out of the usual ref type hacks\n\n Version 2.74\n\n Switch from debuild to pdebuild\n Catch more package building problems by using pbuilder.\n\n Fix Semaphore::wait logic (again) - partial means we've woken up\n The only way to run do_Semaphore::wait with 'partial' set to true is\n if the thread is waking up; in this case, the semaphore count may well\n be negative if other threads are also waiting. Ignore the count in\n this case and just complete the operation.\n\n Add explicit debian source format 3.0 (native)\n Keep lintian happy\n\n Clean up some debian lintian warnings\n\n Fix new FileVPrintf 'G' format comparison\n Was comparing the pointer to the representation enum. oops.\n\n Update debian/changelog for eventual 2.73 release\n\n git-log has become git log\n Needed to build ChangeLog\n\n Back autoconf requirement to 2.64 so debian stable can run it\n\n Shorten backtrace display\n Don't display composite values in backtraces so that the\n backtrace doesn't get flooded with giant values.\n\n Typecheck switch expressions\n Make sure switch expression and case expresssions are all type compatible.\n\n Add is_type and has_member built-ins\n These provide the ability to do run-time type comparisons without\n needing full introspection in the language.\n\n Add list.5c\n \ A useful data type\n\n add 'millis' function to return a clock in milliseconds.\n \ Useful when doing things with sleep\n\n Add Semaphore::count\n Useful for checking current semaphore value without\n modifying it.\n\n Clean up do_Semaphore_wait\n Make it clear that the semaphore count gets bumped down the first time\n into this function.\n\n Check for thread switch even if current thread is last\n Threads can switch due to semaphores or other signals; that can leave\n the current thread last in the run queue. Check for any case where\n running changes instead of only when the current thread isn't last.\n\n \ Make scanf not report valid conversion on blank input.\n scanf was incorrectly accepting \" \" as a valid number, returning a\n conversion of 0. Fix this by checking for empty strings in any numeric\n conversion.\n\n Add tests for scanf function\n Scanf incorrectly accepts blank strings for numbers; here's a pile\n of tests to validate various numeric input.\n\n Add sort and skiplist to standard nickle library\n These are too useful to just be examples\n\n Add gamma function\n\n Printing rational 0 in 'e' format doesn't need an exponent\n \ Computing a negative exponent requires a non-zero value, so just skip\n that if the value is zero\n\n NaturalGcd must return a Natural* when aborting\n \ It was returning One (an Integer) instead of one_natural;\n\n floor() and ceil() should work on imprecise floats\n They should return an approximate integer value instead of raising an exception.\n\n Set version to 2.73 in prepartion for eventually release\n\n Only call readline tty cleanup on signal readline is active\n If readline isn't active, the cleanup functions tend to make a mess of\n the tty state, so don't call them. This really only matters when\n \ handling SIGTSTP.\n\n Update to version 2.72\n\n Keep readline from catching signals\n This stops readline from catching signals, letting nickle handle them\n all by itself.\n\n Block in select instead of sigsuspend when waiting for I/O\n The kernel doesn't appear to reliably deliver SIGIO while the\n application is blocked, so sit in select instead of sigsuspend to make\n \ sure we hear about pending I/O.\n\n rename configure.in to configure.ac\n\n \ Switch version to 2.72 in preparation for an eventual release\n\n wait3 returns 0 when there's nothing left to do\n Don't keep looping when wait3 is done\n\n Update to version 2.71\n\n Clean up a pile of build warnings\n \ Signal return types, unused return values and stepping off the end of\n the typePrim array (the value of which was unused anyways).\n\n Catch attempts to use uninitialized pointer contents\n Dereferencing a pointer to uninitialized storage is an error, instead\n of passing this value along to callers, catch it immediately and raise\n an exception. Check for this case in the ++ and -- operators to\n generate a better error message (otherwise, we'll pass Void along and\n generate an error much later).\n\n Exit after two consecutive interrupts\n If the first interrupt isn't received by the nickle code,\n when the second one comes in, just exit\n\n Cleanup struct type changes\n\n Replace most parameterized macros with static inline functions\n Typechecking, decent compiler warnings and smaller code.\n\n Replace macros with static inline functions in value.h\n Actual type checking, and smaller compiler output to boot.\n\n \ Get rid of old-school variable length struct allocations\n This confuses the new _FORTIFY_SOURCE bits in GCC, so use the\n 'sanctioned' form of placing a zero-length array at the end of the\n struct.\n" module: pkgsrc subject: 'CVS commit: pkgsrc/math/nickle' unixtime: '1369599288' user: wiz
