critcl_changes \- CriTcl Changes
249
Welcome to the \fIC Runtime In Tcl\fR, \fICriTcl\fR for short, a
250
system to build C extension packages for Tcl on the fly, from C code
251
embedded within Tcl scripts, for all who wish to make their code go
254
This document provides an overview of the changes \fBcritcl\fR
255
underwent from version to version\&.
256
.SH "CHANGES FOR VERSION 2\&.1"
258
Fixed bug where \fBcritcl::tsources\fR interpreted relative
259
paths as relative to the current working directory instead of
260
relative to the "\fI\&.critcl\fR" file using the command, as all other
261
commands of this type do\&.
263
Fixed internals, preventing information collected for multiple
264
"\fI\&.critcl\fR" files to leak between them\&. Notably, \fBcritcl::tk\fR
265
is not a global configuration option anymore\&.
267
Fixed the command \fBcritcl::license\fR to be a null-operation
268
in mode "compile & run", instead of throwing an error\&.
270
Fixed the critcl application's interference with the "compile &
271
run" result cache in \fB-pkg\fR mode by having it use a wholly
272
separate (and by default transient) directory for that mode\&.
274
Fixed bug where changes to a "\fI\&.critcl\fR" file did not result
275
in a rebuild for mode "compile & run"\&. All relevant API commands now
276
ensure UUID changes\&.
278
Fixed bug in the backend handling of \fBcritcl::debug\fR where
279
the companion c-sources of a "\fI\&.critcl\fR" file were not compiled
280
with debug options, although the "\fI\&.critcl\fR" file was\&.
282
Fixed bug in \fBcritcl::debug\fR which prevented recognition of
283
mode "all" when it was not the first argument to the command\&.
285
Fixed bug in "\fIpreload\&.c\fR" preventing its compilation on
286
non-windows platforms\&.
288
Fixed long-standing bug in the handling of namespace qualifiers
289
in the command name argument of \fBcritcl::cproc\fR and
290
\fBcritcl::ccommand\fR\&. It is now possible to specify a fully
291
qualified command name without issues\&.
293
Extended/reworked \fBcritcl::tsources\fR to be the canonical
294
way of declaring "\fI\&.tcl\fR" companion files even for mode "compile &
297
Extended/reworked \fBcritcl::tsources\fR to allow the use of a
298
"\fI\&.critcl\fR" file as its own Tcl companion file\&.
300
Extended \fBcritcl::framework\fR to internally check for OS X
301
build target, and to ignore the declaration if its not\&.
303
Extended \fBcritcl::failed\fR to be callable more than once in
304
a "\fI\&.critcl\fR" file\&. The first call forces the build, if it was not
305
done already, to get the result\&. Further calls return the cached
306
result of the first call\&.
308
Extended the handling of environment variable CC in the code
309
determining the compiler to use to deal with (i\&.e\&. remove) paths to
310
the compiler, compiler file extensions, and compiler options specified
311
after the compiler itself, leaving only the bare name of the compiler\&.
313
Extended the code handling the search for preloaded libraries
314
to print the paths it searched, making debugging of a search failure
317
A new command \fBcritcl::tcl\fR can be used to declare the
318
version of Tcl minimally needed to build and run the "\fI\&.critcl\fR"
319
file and package\&. Defaults to 8\&.4 if not declared\&. Extended critcl to
320
have the stubs and headers for all of Tcl 8\&.4, 8\&.5, and 8\&.6\&.
322
A new command \fBcritcl::load\fR forces the build and load of a
323
"\fI\&.critcl\fR" file\&. This is the official way for overriding critcl's
324
default lazy-build-&-load-on-demand scheme for mode "compile & run"\&.
326
\fINote\fR that after using \fBcritcl::load\fR /
327
\fBcritcl::failed\fR in a "\fI\&.critcl\fR" file it is not possible to
328
use critcl commands in that file anymore\&. Doing so will throw an
331
Extended the generation of '#line' pragmas to use
332
\fBinfo frame\fR (if available) to provide the C compiler with exact
333
line numbers into the "\fI\&.critcl\fR" file for the reporting of
334
warnings and errors\&.
336
Extended \fBcritcl::check\fR with logging to help with
337
debugging build-time checks of the environment, plus an additional
338
optional argument to provide labeling\&.
340
Added a new command \fBcritcl::checklink\fR which not only
341
tries to check the environment via compiling the code, but also
344
Added a new command \fBcritcl::msg\fR for messaging, like
345
command \fBcritcl::error\fR is for error reporting\&. Likewise this is a
346
hook a user of the package is allowed to override\&. The default
347
implementation, used by mode \fIcompile & run\fR does nothing\&. The
348
implementation for mode \fIgenerate package\fR prints the message
351
Envisioned use is for the reporting of results determined by
352
\fBcritcl::check\fR and \fBcritcl::checklink\fR during building, to
353
help with debugging when something goes wrong with a check\&.
355
Exposed the argument processing internals of \fBcritcl::proc\fR
356
for use by advanced users\&. The new commands are
359
\fBcritcl::argnames\fR
361
\fBcritcl::argcnames\fR
363
\fBcritcl::argcsignature\fR
365
\fBcritcl::argvardecls\fR
367
\fBcritcl::argconversion\fR
370
Please see section \fIAdvanced Embedded C Code\fR of the
371
\fBcritcl\fR package documentation for details\&.
373
Extended the critcl package to intercept \fBpackage
374
provide\fR and record the file -> package name mapping\&. Plus other
375
internal changes now allow the use of namespaced package names while
376
still using proper path names and init function\&.
378
Dropped the unused commands \fBcritcl::optimize\fR and
379
\fBcritcl::include\fR\&.
381
Dropped \fB-lib\fR mode from the critcl application\&.
383
Dropped remnants of support for Tcl 8\&.3 and before\&.
385
.SH "CHANGES FOR VERSION 3"
387
The command \fBcritcl::platform\fR was deprecated in version
388
2\&.1, superceded by \fBcritcl::targetplatform\fR, yet kept for
389
compatibility\&. Now it has been removed\&.
391
The command \fBcritcl::compiled\fR was kept with in version 2\&.1
392
with semantics in contradiction to its, for compatibility\&. This
393
contradiction has been removed, changing the visible semantics of the
394
command to be in line with its name\&.
396
The change to version 3 became necessary because of the two
397
incompatible visible changes above\&.
399
Extended the application package with code handling a new
400
option \fB-tea\fR\&. Specifying this option invokes a special mode
401
where critcl generates a TEA package, i\&.e\&. wraps the input into a
402
directory hierarchy and support files which provide it TEA-lookalike
405
This new option, and \fB-pkg\fR, exclude each other\&. If
406
both are specified the last used option takes precedence\&.
408
The generated package directory hierarchy is mostly
409
self-contained, but not fully\&. It requires not only a working
410
installation of Tcl, but also working installations of the packages
411
\fBmd5\fR and \fBcmdline\fR\&. Both of these are provided by the
412
\fBTcllib\fR bundle\&. Not required, but recommended to have
413
installed are any of the packages which can accelerate md5's
414
operation, i\&.e\&. \fBcryptkit\fR, \fBtcllibc\fR, or
417
Extended the critcl package with a new command
418
\fBcritcl::scan\fR taking the path to a "\fI\&.critcl\fR" file,
419
statically scanning it, and returning license, version, a list of its
420
companion files, list of imported APIs, and list of
421
developer-specified custom configuration options\&. This data is the
422
foundation for the TEA wrapping described above\&.
424
Note that this is a \fIstatic\fR scan\&. While the other build
425
modes can (must) execute the "\fI\&.critcl\fR" file and make
426
platform-specific decisions regarding the assembled C code, companion
427
files, etc\&. the TEA wrap mode is not in a position to make
428
platform-specific decisions\&. It has to wrap everything which might
429
conceivably be needed when actually building\&. Hence the static scan\&.
430
This has however its own set of problems, namely the inability to
431
figure out any dynamic construction of companion file paths, at least
434
Extended the API used by critcl-based packages with the command
435
\fBcritcl::owns\fR\&. While this command is ignored by the regular build
436
modes the static scanner described above takes its arguments as the
437
names of companion files which have to be wrapped into the TEA package
438
and could not be figured by the scanner otherwise, like because of
439
dynamic paths to \fBcritcl::tsources\fR, \fBcritcl::csources\fR,
440
getting sourced directly, or simply being adjunct datafiles\&.
442
Extended the API used by critcl-based packages with the command
443
\fBcritcl::api\fR for the management of stubs tables, be it their use,
444
and/or declaration and export\&.
446
Please see section \fIStubs Table Management\fR of the
447
\fBcritcl\fR package documentation for details\&.
449
Extended the API used by critcl-based packages with the command
450
\fBcritcl::userconfig\fR for the management of developer-specified
451
custom configuration options, be it their use and/or declaration\&.
453
Please see section \fICustom Build Configuration\fR of the
454
\fBcritcl\fR package documentation for details\&.
456
Extended the API used by critcl-based packages with the
457
commands \fBcritcl::description\fR, \fBcritcl::summary\fR,
458
\fBcritcl::subject\fR, \fBcritcl::meta\fR, and
459
\fBcritcl::buildrequirement\fR for the declaration of TEApot meta data
460
for/about the package\&.
462
Please see section \fIPackage Meta Data\fR of the
463
\fBcritcl\fR package documentation for details\&.
465
.SH "CHANGES FOR VERSION 3\&.0\&.1"
467
Bugfixes all around\&. In detail:
469
Fixed recording of Tcl version requirements\&. Keep package name
470
and version together, unbreaking generated meta data and generated
471
package load command\&.
473
Fixed the build scripts: When installing, or wrapping for TEA,
474
generate any missing directories
476
Modified the build scripts to properly exit the application
477
when the window of their GUI is closed through the (X) button\&.
479
Removed an 8\&.5-ism (open wb) which had slipped into the main
482
Modified the example build scripts to separate the output for
483
the different examples (and packages) by adding empty lines\&.
485
stack::c example bugfix: Include API declarations for use in
486
the companion files\&.
488
Extended the documentation: Noted the need for a working
489
installation of a C compiler\&.
491
Extended the Windows target definitions and code to handle the
492
manifest files used by modern MS development environments\&. Note that
493
this code handles both possibilities, environment using manifests, and
494
(old(er)) environments without\&.
496
Extended the Windows 64bit target definitions and code to
497
auto-detect the need for the helper library "bufferoverflowU\&.lib" and
498
reconfigure the compile and link commands appropriately\&. We assume
499
that the library must be linked when present\&. This should be no harm
500
if the library is present, yet not needed\&. Just superfluous\&. We search
501
for the library in the paths specified by the environment variable
504
.SH "CHANGES FOR VERSION 3\&.0\&.2"
506
Fixed issue in compile-and-run mode where commands put into the
507
auto_index are not found by Tcl's [unknown] command\&.
509
Fixed an array key mismatch breaking usage of client data and
510
delete function for procedure\&. Reported by Jos DeCoster, with patch\&.
512
Implemented a command line option \fB-L\fR, an equivalent of
513
option \fB-I\fR, just for library search paths\&.
515
Fixed github issues 5 and 8\&. Working around a missing variable
516
::errorInfo\&. It should always be present, however there seem to be
517
revisions of Tcl around which violate this assumption\&.
519
.SH "CHANGES FOR VERSION 3\&.0\&.3"
521
Fixed github issues 5 and 8, for the example build\&.tcl
522
scripts\&. Working around a missing variable ::errorInfo\&. It should
523
always be present, however there seem to be revisions of Tcl around
524
which violate this assumption\&.
526
.SH "CHANGES FOR VERSION 3\&.0\&.4"
528
Fixed generation of the package's initname when the incoming
529
code is read from stdin and has no proper path\&.
531
Fixed github issue 11\&. Now using /LIBPATH instead of -L
532
on Windows (libinclude configuration setting)\&.
534
Extended critcl to handle -l:path format of -l options\&.
535
GNU ld 2\&.22+ handles this by searching for the path as
536
is\&. Good when specifying static libraries, as plain -l looks
537
for shared libraries in preference over static\&. critcl handles
538
it now, as older GNU ld's do not understand it, nor the
539
various vendor-specific linkers\&.
541
Fixed github issue #12\&. Critcl now determines the version of
542
MSVC in use and uses it to switch between various link debug
543
options\&. Simplified the handling of bufferoverflowU\&.lib also,
544
making use of the same mechanism and collapsing the two
545
configurations sections we had back into one\&.
547
Reworked the insertion of #line pragmas into the generated C
548
code to avoid limitations on the line number argument imposed
549
by various compilers, and be more accurate\&.
551
Modified argument processing\&. Option -libdir now also
552
implies -L for its argument\&.
554
Extended handling of option -show (\fBcritcl::showconfig\fR)
555
to list the path of the configuration file the data is coming
556
from\&. Good for debugging configuration processing\&.
558
Extended the build script with targets to regenerate the
559
embedded documentation, and diagrams, and to generate a
562
.SH "CHANGES FOR VERSION 3\&.0\&.5"
564
Fixed bug in the new code for #line pragmas triggered when
565
specifying C code without leading whitespace\&.
567
Extended the documentation to have manpages for the license,
568
source retrieval, installer, and developer's guides\&.
570
.SH "CHANGES FOR VERSION 3\&.0\&.6"
572
Fixed github issue 10\&. The critcl application now delivers a
573
proper exit code (1) on build failure, instead of always
574
indicating success (status 0)\&.
576
Fixed github issue 13\&. Handling of bufferoverflowU\&.lib for
577
release builds was inconsistent with handling for debug
578
builds\&. It is now identically handled (conditional) by
581
Documentation cleanup, mainly in the installation guide, and
582
the README\&.md shown by github
584
.SH "CHANGES FOR VERSION 3\&.0\&.7"
586
Fixed the code generated by \fBcritcl::c++command\fR\&.
587
The emitted code handed a non-static string table to
588
\fBTcl_GetIndexFromObj\fR, in violation of the contract, which
589
requires the table to have a fixed address\&. This was a memory
590
smash waiting to happen\&. Thanks to Brian Griffin for alrerting
591
us to the general problem\&.
593
.SH "CHANGES FOR VERSION 3\&.1"
595
Added a new higher-level package \fBcritcl::iassoc\fR\&.
597
This package simplifies the creation of code associating data
598
with an interpreter via Tcl's \fBTcl_(Get|Set)AssocData()\fR APIs\&. The
599
user can concentrate on his data while all the necessary boilerplate
600
C code to support this is generated by the package\&.
602
This package uses several of the new features which were added
603
to the core \fBcritcl\fR package, see below\&.
605
Added the higher-level package \fBcritcl::class\fR\&.
607
This package simplifies the creation of C level objects with
608
class and instance commands\&. The user can write a class definition
609
with class- and instance-variables and -methods similar to a TclOO
610
class, with all the necessary boilerplate C code to support this
611
generated by the package\&.
613
This package uses several of the new features which were added
614
to the core \fBcritcl\fR package, see below\&.
616
Extended the API for handling TEApot metadata\&. Added the
617
command \fBcritcl::meta?\fR to query the stored information\&. Main use
618
currently envisioned is retrieval of the current package's name by
619
utility commands, for use in constructed names\&. This particular
620
information is always available due to the static scan of the package
621
file on execution of the first critcl command\&.
623
The new packages \fBcritcl::iassoc\fR and
624
\fBcritcl::class\fR (see above) are users of this command\&.
626
Extended the API with a command, \fBcritcl::name2c\fR, exposing
627
the process of converting a Tcl name into base name, namespace, and C
628
namespace\&. This enables higher-level code generators to generate the same
629
type of C identifiers as \fBcritcl\fR itself\&.
631
The new package \fBcritcl::class\fR (see above) is a user
634
Extended the API with a command, \fBcritcl::source\fR,
635
executing critcl commands found in a separate file in the context of
636
the current file\&. This enables easier management of larger bodies of
637
code as it allows the user to split such up into easier to digest
638
smaller chunks without causing the generation of multiple packages\&.
640
Related to the previous item, extended the API with commands to
641
divert collection of generated C code into memory\&. This makes it
642
easier to use the commands for embedded C code in higher-level code
645
See the section \fBAdvanced: Diversions\fR for details of
646
the provided commands\&.
648
The new package \fBcritcl::class\fR (see above) is a user
649
of these facilities\&.
651
Extended the API with commands helping developers with the
652
generation of proper C \fI#line\fR directives\&. This allows
653
higher-level code generators to generate and insert their own
654
directives, ensuring that compile errors in their code are properly
657
See the section \fBAdvanced: Location management\fR for
658
details of the provided commands\&.
660
The new packages \fBcritcl::iassoc\fR and
661
\fBcritcl::class\fR (see above) are users of these facilities\&.
663
Extended the API with commands giving users the ability to
664
define custom argument and result types for \fB::critcl::cproc\fR\&.

See the section \fBAdvanced: Extending cproc\fR for
667
details of the provided commands\&.
669
.SH "CHANGES FOR VERSION 3\&.1\&.1"
671
Bugfixes all around\&. In detail:
673
Fixed the generation of wrong#args errors for
674
\fBcritcl::cproc\fR and derived code (\fBcritcl::class\fR
675
cproc-based methods)\&. Use NULL if there are no arguments, and
676
take the offset into account\&.
678
Fixed the handling of package names by
679
\fBcritcl::class\fR\&. Forgot that they may contain namespace
680
separators\&. Bumped to version 1\&.0\&.1\&.
682
Extended a \fBcritcl::class\fR generated error message in
683
instance creation for clarity\&. Bumped to version 1\&.0\&.2\&.
685
.SH "CHANGES FOR VERSION 3\&.1\&.2"
687
Enhancement\&. In detail:
689
Extended \fBcritcl::cproc\fR to be able to handle optional
690
arguments, in a limited way\&. This is automatically available to
691
\fBcritcl::class\fR cproc-based methods as well\&.
693
Bugfix in \fBlassign\fR emulation for Tcl 8\&.4\&. Properly set
694
unused variables to the empty string\&. Bumped version of
695
emulation package \fBlassign84\fR to 1\&.0\&.1\&.
697
.SH "CHANGES FOR VERSION 3\&.1\&.3"
699
Enhancement\&. In detail:
701
Added new argument type "pstring", for "Pascal String", a
702
counted string, i\&.e\&. a combination of string pointer and string
705
Added new methods \fBcritcl::argtypesupport\fR and
706
\fB::critcl::argsupport\fR to define and use additional
707
supporting code for an argument type, here used by "pstring"
708
above to define the necessary structure\&.
710
Semi-bugfixes in the packages \fBcritcl::class\fR and
711
\fBcritcl::iassoc\fR\&. Pragmas for the AS meta data scanner
712
to ensure that the template files are made part of the package\&.
713
Versions bumped to 1\&.0\&.4 and 1\&.0\&.1 respectively\&.
715
.SH "CHANGES FOR VERSION 3\&.1\&.4"
717
Bugfix in package \fBcritcl::class\fR\&. Generate a dummy
718
field in the class structure if the class has no class
719
variables\&. Without this change the structure would be empty,
720
and a number of compilers are not able to handle such a type\&.
722
Fixed a typo which broke the win64 configuration\&.
724
Fixed issue #16, a typo in the documentation of command
725
\fBcritcl::class\fR\&.
727
.SH "CHANGES FOR VERSION 3\&.1\&.5"
729
Fixed issue #19\&. Made the regular expression extracting the
730
MSVC version number more general to make it work on german
731
language systems\&. This may have to be revisited in the future,
732
for other Windows locales\&.
734
Fixed issue #20\&. Made option -tea work on windows, at least in
735
a unix emulation environment like msys/mingw\&.
737
.SH "CHANGES FOR VERSION 3\&.1\&.6"
739
Fixed issue #21\&. While the multi-definition of the stub-table
740
pointer variables was ok with for all the C linkers seen so far
741
C++ linkers did not like this at all\&. Reworked the code to
742
ensure that this set of variables is generated only once, in
743
the wrapper around all the pieces to assemble\&.
745
Fixed issue #22, the handling of the command identifier
746
arguments of \fBcritcl::ccommand\fR, \fBcritcl::cproc\fR, and
747
\fBcritcl::cdata\fR\&. We now properly allow any Tcl identifier
748
and generate proper internal C identifiers from them\&.
750
As part of this the signature of command \fBcritcl::name2c\fR
751
changed\&. The command now delivers a list of four values instead
752
of three\&. The new value was added at the end\&.
754
Further adapted the implementation of package
755
\fBcritcl::class\fR, a user of \fBcritcl::name2c\fR\&.
756
This package is now at version 1\&.0\&.6 and requires critcl 3\&.1\&.6
758
Lastly fixed the mis-handling of option \fB-cname\fR in
759
\fBcritcl::ccommand\fR, and \fBcritcl::cproc\fR\&.
763
.SH "CHANGES FOR VERSION 3\&.1\&.7"
765
Fixed issue #24\&. Extract and unconditionally display compiler
766
warnings found in the build log\&. Prevents users from missing
767
warnings which, while not causing the build to fail, may
768
still indicate problems\&.
770
New feature\&. Output hook\&. All non-messaging user output is now
771
routed through the command \fBcritcl::print\fR, and users are
772
allowed to override it when using the critcl application-as-package\&.
774
New feature, by Ashok P\&. Nadkarni\&. Platform configurations can
775
inherit values from configurations defined before them\&.
777
.SH "CHANGES FOR VERSION 3\&.1\&.8"
779
Fixed issue with package indices generated for Tcl 8\&.4\&.
780
Join the list of commands with semi-colon, not newline\&.
782
Fixed issue #26 which brought up use-cases I had forgotten to
783
consider while fixing bug #21 (see critcl 3\&.1\&.6)\&.
785
.SH "CHANGES FOR VERSION 3\&.1\&.9"
787
Fixed issue #27\&. Added missing platform definitions for
788
various alternate linux and OS X targets\&.
790
Fixed issue #28\&. Added missing -mXX flags for linking at the
791
linux-{32,64}-* targets\&.
793
Fixed issue #29\&. Replaced the use of raw "cheaders"
794
information in the processing of "cdefines" with the proper
795
include directives derived from it\&.
797
Fixed the issue behind rejected pull request #30 by Andrew
798
Shadura\&. Dynamically extract the stubs variable declarations
799
from the Tcl header files and generate matching variable
800
definitions for use in the package code\&. The generated code
801
will now be always consistent with the headers, even when
802
critcl's own copy of them is replaced by system headers\&.
804
Fixed issue #31\&. Accepted patch by Andrew Shadura, with
805
changes (comments), for easier integration of critcl with
806
OS package systems, replacing critcl's copies of Tcl headers
809
Fixed issue #32\&. Merged pull request by Andrew Shadura\&.
810
Various typos in documentation and comments\&.
812
Fixed issue #33\&. Handle files starting with a dot better\&.
