2006-08-23 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* Tcl.pm: replace 'use Config' with less invasive 'require Config'.
2006-08-13 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* Tcl.pm: Add exe path for Darwin. OS X 10.3 requires it for #!
scripts to operate properly (avoids RegisterProcess error).
* tcl-core/darwin-universal/libtclstub8.4.a: AT 266625 update
2006-07-15 Vadim Konovalov
* Tcl.xs: support statical inclusion of some extensions (Tk, Tix, etc)

* tcl-core/linux-x86_64/libtclstub8.4.a:
* Makefile.PL: Enhanced to allow no argument invocations to
attempt to build from provided stubs libraries. No longer
requires --library --include options on most platforms.
Run ranlib on darwin stublib to work around ranlib bug.
(MY::libscan): make override .pl match case insensitive.
2006-05-23 Vadim Konovalov
* Changes: brief summary for 0.89
* Tcl.pm: version 0.89
2006-05-22 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* tcl-core/darwin-universal/libtclstub8.4.a: Binary stub archives
* tcl-core/hpux-parisc/libtclstub8.4.a: for various platforms
* tcl-core/linux-i686/libtclstub8.4.a: to allow building the
* tcl-core/solaris-sparc/libtclstub8.4.a: Tcl module without any
* tcl-core/solaris-x86/libtclstub8.4.a: Tcl distribution on
* tcl-core/win32-x86/libtclstub8.4.a: the system. A Tcl
* tcl-core/include/tcl((Plat)Decls).h: distribution is still
required to test/run the module.
* Makefile.PL: add --include --library and --define as command
line arguments that control where to pull build info from.
* Tcl.xs (NpLoadLibrary): allow alternate TCL_LIB_FILE (basedll)
loading on darwin.
2005-09-28 Vadim Konovalov <vkon@cpan.org>
* Tcl.xs: Win32 build was unfortunate
2005-09-12 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
* Makefile.PL: Added libscan override to prevent installation of
create-moveable-dist.pl.
2005-09-09 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
* Tcl.xs: Read Tcl library override from $Tcl::DL_PATH instead
of the $ENV{PERL_TCL_DLL}.
On Mac OS X search for libtcl.so using the standard File System Domain order.
* Tcl.pm: Initialize $Tcl::DL_PATH from environment if not set
up by something else. Initialize from $ENV{PERL_TCL_DLL} for
backwards compatiblity.
2005-08-24 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* tclcfg.tcl: enhanced tclConfig.sh file search
2005-08-23 Vadim Konovalov
* MANIFEST: mention t/unicode.t
* Changes: brief summary for 0.88
* CPAN release 0.88
2005-08-16 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* Tcl.xs (SvFromTclObj, TclObjFromSv): Convert NULLs to utf-8
\xC0\x80 to/from Tcl as some extensions (eg Tk) call non-counted
string APIs.
(Tcl_result, Tcl_AppendResult): use Sv <> Tcl_Obj bridge functions.
(Tcl_Eval, Tcl_GlobalEval): allow optional flags arg to Tcl::Eval,
removing Tcl::GlobalEval. Add Tcl::EVAL_GLOBAL and
Tcl::EVAL_DIRECT constants.
* Tcl.pm: note removal of Tcl::GlobalEval, updated Tcl::Eval
* t/unicode.t (new): extended unicode/null passing tests
* t/var.t: replace GlobalEval with Eval using flags.
* Makefile.PL: HP-UX uses .sl libnames
2005-08-15 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* Tcl.pm: doc cleanup
* Tcl.xs: squelch a few compile warnings
* t/createcmd.t: perl 5.8.0 finalization order is wonky, so don't
expect the implicit Tcl finalization callbacks.
2005-07-31 Vadim Konovalov
* Makefile.PL: darwin config touches from Tom Wyant <WYANT@cpan.org>
* Tcl.pm: tiny 'authors' change
2005-07-18 Vadim Konovalov
* Tcl.pm: documentation improvements: explain installation techniques;
explain ::perl::Eval from Tcl side
bump to 0.88
create hook to optional reading of Tcl.cfg
* Changes: start 0.88 history
* TODO: file removed
* Manifest: document TODO removal and adding of create-moveable-dist.pl
2005-02-02 Vadim Konovalov <vadimk@vkonovalov.ru>
* Changes: prepare for CPAN release
2005-01-30 Vadim Konovalov <vadimk@vkonovalov.ru>
* Tcl.pm: automatic cleanup on widget deletion
bump to 0.87
* Changes: start 0.87 history
2005-01-23 Vadim Konovalov <vadimk@vkonovalov.ru>
* Tcl.pm: implement method for tied hashes to Tcl::Var
2004-12-30 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* Changes:
* Tcl.pm: bump to 0.85 with change notes
* Makefile.PL: add ENV{TCLSH_PROG} tclsh exe propagation var to
make it easier to configure Tcl-Tk as a subdir.
Make --usestubs the default, allow --nousestubs.
* t/info.t: replace 'info hostname' test with 'info exists' test
as we just wanted another info test, not testing whether Perl and
Tcl agree on hostname, since they might not.
2004-11-12 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* Tcl.xs (NpInitialize): support HP-UX shl_* functions.
2004-09-13 Vadim Konovalov <vadim@vkonovalov.ru>
* Tcl.pm: version 0.84
callbacks of type [$Tcl_Tk_widget, 'method name', ...]
* Makefile.pl: Mac OS X wisdom from Daniel A. Steffen
* Changes: brief summary for 0.84
2004-09-10 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* Tcl.xs (NpLoadLibrary): make PERL_TCL_DLL check error if no file
is found.
2004-06-01 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* Tcl.xs (NpLoadLibrary): minor code cleanup
2004-05-31 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
* Tcl.pm: Introduce global variable $Tcl::STACK_TRACE. Setting this
to a false value avoids some overhead in calls and make it possible
for icall to experience void context.
* Tcl.xs: Introduce class Tcl::List when a list is returned in scalar
context. It works as before it is used as an array refence, but will
also stringify properly.
* Tcl.pm: Set up stringify overload of Tcl::List
* t/call.t: Test Tcl::List.
2004-05-10 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* Tcl.xs (NpInitialize): change load around to use different
dll-kit based init that call TclKit_SetKitPath to indicate the
path of the kit for loading (the dll).
(NpLoadLibrary): take filename arg to pass the found library name
back to the caller.
2004-05-09 Konovalov <vkonovalov@peterstar.ru>
* Changes: brief summary between 0.80 and 0.81
2004-05-07 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* Makefile.PL: force Tcl 8.4 as the minimum version
2004-05-06 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* Tcl.xs: enhance stubs-based initialization to check for a
preloaded Tcl dll as well as for stubs-based dll that is
tclkit-based. This requires maintaining the first created interp
through the lifetime of the module.
2004-05-04 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* Tcl.pm: bump to 0.81 and add commands for icall and invoke.
* Tcl.xs: change Tcl::icall to Tcl::invoke and make alternate
Tcl::icall the default one. Tcl::icall will now have command
tracing and use Tcl's unknown mechanism, whereas Tcl::invoke does
the direct command invocation (where it is an error if the command
does not already exist). This is the better default as Tcl uses
unknown for autoload in many cases.
2004-05-03 Vadim Konovalov <vkonovalov@peterstar.ru>
* Tcl.pm (call): return of \\'xy' convenience
* Changes: brief summary for version 0.80
2004-04-30 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* Tcl.xs (TclObjFromSv): pass strings to Tcl in a strictly correct
way - check SvUTF8 before making a String obj, otherwise make a
ByteArray obj. This is 100% correct, but not as efficient as
ignoring the corner-case binary/utf-8 discrepancies.
2004-04-29 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* Tcl.xs: add a hash of interps created that we can force delete
of prior to Tcl_Finalize, ensuring better cleanup.
* Makefile.PL: Added --usestubs option, which adds DEFINE flags.
* Tcl.pm: Add stubs support to give us version and dll location
* Tcl.xs: independence. Tcl.xs can handle the loading and
finalization of Tcl. Tcl_Finalize is now called by an END block
in Tcl.pm in all cases, flipping a bit that says we shouldn't call
any more Tcl_* APIs.
* Tcl.xs (Tcl_DoOneEvent): expose Tcl::DoOneEvent for perl and add
TCL_*_EVENTS and TCL_DONT_WAIT constants to BOOT block.
(TclObjFromSv): remove SvIOK check in SvNOK block to force the
int-equiv double check. By default, perl does math with doubles,
so we need to force this check. Possibly not necessary for 5.8+.
2004-04-27 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* Tcl.xs (Tcl_SetVar, Tcl_SetVar2): make SV/Tcl_Obj aware.
2004-04-25 Vadim Konovalov <vkonovalov@peterstar.ru>
* Tcl.pm: rename Tcl::EV to Tcl::Ev
2004-04-22 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* Tcl.xs (SvFromTclObj): For boolean types, use the string value
if it's not empty, as booleans that came from strings are often
not 0/1. For list types, use "" for empty lists instead of an
empty AV. This corrects a problem with Tcl literal sharing where
"" can be marked as a list, although the string is intended.
2004-04-21 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* Tcl.xs (Tcl_EvalInPerl): create ::perl::Eval proc in Tcl_Init.
This can be used in Tcl to eval whatever you want in Perl.
* Tcl.pm: jump to v0.80.
Remove Tcl::Ev, replace with Tcl::EV. This is used in the
callback creation instead of in the callback sub, passing the args
as proper args to the sub. Removed the previously ability to have
ref-ref scalars magically convert to %-subs and consume the next
arg as a code ref. What used to be written:
'<Motion>', \\'XY', \&mysub, ...
is now written:
'<Motion>', [\&mysub, Tcl::EV('%X', '%Y')], ...
and they are pass in as true args (no Tcl::Ev calls required).
**** POTENTIAL INCOMPATABILITY ****
Arguments from Tcl passed to sub with Perl args now properly pass
those args to the Perl sub as well (precede Perl args). IOW, a
reference to [\&mysub, "foo"] that becomes CODE(0x1234) called
from Tcl as "CODE(0x1234) bar" will have ("bar", "foo") in @_.
(call): Create tied vars in Tcl in the ::perl namespace and leave
the ()s, making them all elements of the Tcl array ::perl::SCALAR.
(create_tcl_sub): Create procs in Tcl in the ::perl namespace.
2004-04-21 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
* Tcl.pm (call): undo hack to prevent 1=>1.0 (for r1.17). Should
not be needed after Jeff's r1.23 change to Tcl.xs.
2004-04-20 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* Tcl.xs (TclObjFromSv): check for IV == NV in SvNOK to account
for some perl versions' overaggressiveness in promoting ints.
2004-04-17 Vadim Konovalov <vkonovalov@peterstar.ru>
* Tcl.pm (call): add hack to prevent 1=>1.0
* Tcl.pm: add wcall wrapper to 'call' function
* Changes: brief summary of changes between 0.76 and 0.77
2004-04-17 Vadim Konovalov <vkonovalov@peterstar.ru>
* Makefile.PL: fix WinCE case, check if Tcl version supported
* README: change WinCE explanations; add authors; change file
format to be more consistent with other modules
* Tcl.pm: change version to 0.76 for CPAN release; make AUTHORS
section more complete.
* Changes: brief summary of changes between 0.75 and 0.76
* t/info.t: should ignore difference between '/' and '\' on Win32.
2004-04-16 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* t/info.t: return -longname of nameofexe on Windows to match $^X.
2004-04-16 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
* Tcl.xs: Make it possible to subclass Tcl.
* Tcl.pm: Don't subclass Tcl::Tk any more. Tcl::Tcl will subclass
Tcl instead.
2004-04-15 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
* Tcl.xs: Added BOOT: section and moved initializations there.
* Tcl.xs, Tcl.pm, t/constants.t: Avoid hardcoded constants. Let
tcl.h provide the values. The old constants actually got the
values for TCL_APPEND_VALUE and TCL_LIST_ELEMENT wrong from what I
observe in the 8.4 tcl.h.
* Tcl.xs: Got rid of the Tcl_DESTROY and Tcl_result macros. More
obvious what's going on with explict CODE sections instead of
global macros.
* Tcl.xs, t/info.t: Make 'info nameofexecutable' work.
* Tcl.xs: Use boolSV() instead of int to represent bools. A user
visible difference is that false is now "" instead of 0, but
that's the official perl way.
* Tcl.xs: The !SvOBJECT() test is just fine. Remove XXX comment.
* Tcl.pm: Improved argument check in Tcl::Ev.
* Tcl.pm: Enable XS version check during bootstrap.
* Makefile.PL: Integrate ceMakefile.PL
* Makefile.PL: Cleanup. Use Getopt::Long instead of handcoded
option parsing
* Tcl.xs, Tcl.pm: Whitespace cleanup. Remove trailing space.
2004-04-14 Gisle Aas <gisle@ActiveState.com>
* Tcl.xs (has_highbit): renamed 'l' as 'len'. 'l' is not a good
variable name as it looks quite a lot like '1' in many fonts
2004-04-14 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* Tcl.xs (SvFromTclObj): turn on Tcl_ListObj to AV conversion.
* Tcl.pm (call): rework with much clearer comments on what is
going on. Don't bother doing map of undefined vals to "", icall
does that for us. Cache arg ref for use in the if/elsifs.
Remove commented out listify and listify sub - icall properly
handles the AV to Tcl_ListObj conversions.
Correct result handling by matching expectations with icall. If
we are called in ARRAY context, invoke icall in array context,
otherwise invoke icall in scalar context.
* t/call.t (new): some tests for call and icall functions
2004-04-13 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* Tcl.xs (SvFromTclObj): correct if/else if for objPtr == NULL and
return newSV(0) instead of &PL_sv_undef for cleanliness.
* t/var.t: do unicode tests on 5.8, correct some test result output.
* Tcl.xs (SvFromTclObj): set newSV* to sv, then return that var.
(Tcl_new): changed it to force Tcl_FindExecutable call before
first Tcl_CreateInterp and cache data types on first new.
(Tcl_Init): moved Tcl_FindExecutable call to Tcl_new.
2004-04-12 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* Tcl.xs: #define PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT and pass perl context
through internal funcs.
(SvFromTclObj): add possible Tcl_ListObj -> SV conversion. This
needs further examination as it forces coding changes and is not
yet used.
(TclObjFromSv): change to return Tcl_Objs with refcount 0 and
manage refcount from caller. This corrects the recursive refcount
getting too high (caused objects not to be freed when done).
* Tcl.pm (listify): add more comments about usage and add
backslash correcting.
2004-04-09 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* Makefile.PL: add the ability to control what tclsh we build with
* tclcfg.tcl: by passing --tclsh (path to tclsh to use when
calling tclcfg.tcl), --tclconfig (path to tclConfig.sh to get data
from) and --buildspec (use BUILD spec info in conjunction with
--tclconfig).
* Tcl.pm (FETCH, STORE): add perl versions for reference (not used)
* Tcl.xs (SvFromTclObj): if objPtr == NULL, return &PL_sv_undef.
(TclObjFromSv): Add SvGMAGICAL check and check that RV is not an
object. Remove one impotent cycle check and add empty array elem
check. Remove impotent SvUOK check. Always return Tcl_Obj with
refcount 1.
(Tcl_PerlCallWrapper): Tcl_Obj-ify input and result.
(Tcl_icall): rewrite from scratch to allow for recursive calls,
which can occur via commands or tied vars.
(Tcl_icall #2): added alternate implementation (not default) that
calls Tcl_EvalObjv instead of direct command invocation.
(Tcl_Init): pass NULL (not ".") to Tcl_FindExecutable. Create
Tcl_PerlCallWrapper as a Tcl_Obj command.
(Tcl_SetResult): use SVs/Tcl_Objs
(Tcl_GetVar, Tcl_GetVar2): return SV instead of char *
(Tcl_UnsetVar): call Tcl_UnsetVar2
(FETCH): return SV
(STORE): call Tcl_SetVar2Ex always, use SVs
2004-04-07 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* Tcl.xs (TclObjFromSv): updated to correctly descend into ARRAY
refs and add possible ref cycle checking.
Move SvUOK check below SvIOK check.
(Tcl_icall): also check cmdinfo.isNativeObjectProc before using,
although we might want to use this when non-native since the
string version must use Tcl_Obj routines now for correctness.
The string version also calls TclObjFromSv to properly handle
ARRAY to list conversion.
* Tcl.pm (call): let icall do the ARRAY to Tcl_Obj list conversion
(create_tcl_sub): don't s/\W/_/g $tclname, Tcl doesn't care.
(listify): add routine that does rough listification of Perl sv.
* Tcl.xs (Tcl_PerlCallWrapper): handle the perl sub error case
where an error occurs calling perl sub from Tcl callback.
(Tcl_Init): move init of Tcl_Obj typePtrs
2004-04-06 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* Tcl.xs: use ANSI prototypes for some functions.
Remove use of PL_na in favor of SvPV_nolen.
(SvFromTclObj, TclObjFromSv): create bridge routines to translate
to/from Tcl_Obj and SV. May need refinement.
(prepare_Tcl_result): made use of newer GIMME_V macro and Tcl_Obj
based return results.
(Tcl_Eval, Tcl_GlobalEval): use more efficient Tcl_EvalEx.
(Tcl_icall): prefer objProc over string proc and make efficient
Tcl_Obj list out of SVs.
2004-04-01 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* Tcl.pm (call): define tie'd var to "" if undefined before setting.
* Tcl.xs: code cleanup to squelch AIX compiler warnings
2004-03-22 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* Tcl.pm: modifications from Vadim to fix minor ref issues and
initial attempt to support code with args in array refs.
* Tcl.xs (USE_NON_CONST): define to squelch 8.4 const warnings
started using ChangeLog
