The following are the changes in this release:
Starting with calc version 2.16.0.0, the ability to perform arithmetic
on addresses of values in calc objects has been greatly restricted.
Most arithmetic on of value addresses could easily cause calc to
crash. For example, prior to calc version 2.16.0.0, the following
command was likely to crash calc:
calc '*((&.)+1e9)'
Subtracting two value addresses is permitted, however there is NO
guarantee that the address of a value will remain consistent across
calc runs. Addresses of values depend on the circumstances of when
the calc values were formed.
The above restrictions and caveats apply to addresses of values.
Such restrictions and caveats to NOT apply to the addresses of
octets, NOR to the addresses within strings. If isptr(x) == 2, then
x is value-pointer and the above mentioned restrictions and caveats apply.
See "help address" for more information on value address arithmetic.
Added E_INVALID_DEREF (10610) error code to indicate the invalid
dereferencing a non-variable.
Added E_INVALID_ADDR_OP (10611) error code to indicate an invalid
arithmetic address operation.
We plan to let this most recent change settle down before performing
the calc v2 to calc v3 fork. Therefore, version 2.16.1.0 will form
the basis for the calc v2 to calc v3 fork.
Removed use of HAVE_MEMMOVE as well have_memmv.c. Removed the
building and including of have_memmv.h. Removed the memmove()
function in blkcpy.c, used when HAVE_MEMMOVE was NOT defined.
The libc memmove(3) function as defined by <string.h> is now
required to compile calc because the replacement code in
blkcpy.c q was problematic, especially when regions overlap.
The HAVE_MEMMOVE make symbol was removed from Makefile.config.
Thanks to GitHub user @skeeto for reporting this problem.
The top level Makefile needs to use multiple []'s between ||'s
to not cause problems for legacy shells such as the Bourne shell.
For example:
```make
-${Q} if [ -z "${MANDIR}" ] || [ ! -s calc.1 ]; then \
...
-${Q} if [ -z "${CATDIR}" ] || [ ! -s calc.cat1 ]; then \
```
Documented unexpected behavior when calc is running in
"shell script mode" and the prompt builtin function is used
without the -p flag. Updated help/prompt, help/unexpected
and the calc man page accordingly.
Unless calc is given the -p command line option, calc will reopen
stdin as /dev/null instead of just closing stdin. This prevents
subsequent opens grabbing the 1st file descriptor.
Disable regress tests 4709, 4710, and 7763 because they print
multi-byte sequences, which are just fine for calc, the awk
used to evaluate the regression suite output in some legacy
systems report a "multibyte conversion failure".
Added a number of missing Makefile variables to the "make env" rule.
The man command is used to format the calc.1 man page into calc.usage.
The "help calc" command now prints the formatted calc man page (calc.usage).
The "help man" command now prints the formatted calc man page (calc.usage).
The "help usage" command now prints the formatted calc man page (calc.usage).
The file, calc.cat1, is formed by gzipping the calc.usage
formatted man page. The calc.cat1 is installed as the calc
cat section 1 man page.
Updated the Copyright string in version.c to refer to
the COPYING file and the "help copying" command.
Added calc.cat1 to .gitignore. Using "sort -d -u" to sort .gitignore content.
Avoiding use of modern [[ and ]] in Makefile for those legacy systems
whose shell do not support them. *sigh*
Fixed the order of "help full" to match the order of topics listed
buy the "help help" command.
Sorted the halias[] help topics table in help.c using sort -d -u.
So far, the Makefile checked for sys/param.h instead and that suspiciously
looks like a copy & paste error.
Found by the Debian hurd-i386 build daemon because calc failed to compile
there and it seems to lack sys/mount.h. Not that this would be an extremely
relevant architecture these days, but nevertheless... ;-)
Before, make prep would show but not object to chk_tree failures.
Now, if all except chk_tree is OK, make prep will report:
almost satifactory except for chk_tree
Improved notes for install locations in Makefile.config.
Added printing of ${BUILD_ALL} to make env output.
Added double pass of chk_tree to make full_debug (and thus to the make
debug output).
The tarball for calc version 2.15.0.0 was missing version.h.
The version.h is now listed as part of the calc distribution.
Added a chk_tree tool to help look for problems such as files that are
result of building calc that are also part of the calc distribution,
and files that are part of the calc source that are missing from the
calc distribution, and files that are of unknown status that are either
result of building calc nor missing from the calc distribution.
Updated file lists in Makefile, sorting as needed.
Updated Makefile PHONY rule to include Makefile rules that are NOT files.
Reduced make chatter for rules that build lists.
Added make verifydist to verify the existence of files that are part of
the calc distribution.
Added make verifydist to make prep.
Added a chk_tree double check, one after make clobber, one before the
final make chk, to make prep.
The config("triground") controls rounding for the following
trigonometric and hyperbolic functions:
sin, cos, tan, cot, sec, csc
asin, acos, atan, acot, asec, acsc
versin, coversin, vercos, covercos
aversin, acoversin, avercos, acovercos
haversin, hacoversin, havercos, hacovercos
ahaversin, hacoversin, havercos, ahacovercos
exsec, aexsec, excsc, aexcsc
crd, acrd
cas, cis
sinh, cosh, tanh, coth, sech, csch
asinh, acosh, atanh, acoth, asech, acsch
In addition to taking a complex root (such as via the power
function on a complex value), "triground" is used for:
exp, polar
For the above mentioned functions, the rounding mode used to
round the result to the nearest epsilon value is controlled by,
and defaults to:
config("triground", 24)
As with other config options, the call returns the previous mode,
without a 2nd argument, returns the current mode without changing it:
config("triground")
Improved "SEE ALSO" for the hyperbolic function help files.
Fixed SEE ALSO typo in help randperm.
Added the following new trigonometric functions:
haversin(x [,eps]) half versed trigonometric sine
hacoversin(x [,eps]) half coversed trigonometric sine
havercos(x [,eps]) half versed trigonometric cosine
hacovercos(x [,eps]) half coversed trigonometric cosine
ahaversin(x [,eps]) inverse half versed trigonometric sine
ahacoversin(x [,eps]) inverse half coversed trigonometric sine
ahavercos(x [,eps]) inverse half versed trigonometric cosine
ahacovercos(x [,eps]) inverse half coversed trigonometric cosine
Fixed calc regression test 42dd to set the display value back to 20.
Added test 95dd and test9500.trigeq.cal to the calc regression test
suite to perform extensive test of trigonometric functions.
Fix and improve recently comments and variable names added new
trigonometric functions in comfunc.c, func.c, qtrans.c.
Now the "E_STRING" errsym strings in error_table[], with exception
to the 1st E__BASE entry, all other errsym strings must match the
following regular expression:
^E_[A-Z][A-Z0-9_]+$
Renamed "E_1OVER0" to "E_DIVBYZERO".
Renamed "E_0OVER0" to "E_ZERODIVZERO".
Removed from errsym.h (as built by errcode -d via the Makefile),
E__NONE, E__BASE, E__USERDEF, and E__USERMAX. These symbols were
also defined in errtbl.h, which is NOW the place of the #define.
Update .gitigore with another temporary file.
Changed calc_errno a global int variable so that is may be directly
accessed by libcalc users.
Further improve help files for help/errno, help/error, help/newerror,
help/stoponerror and help/strerror by adding to documentation
of the calc error code system as well as libcalc interface
where applicable.
Changed #define E_USERDEF to #define E__USERDEF.
Removed use of E_USERDEF, E__BASE, E__COUNT, and E__HIGHEST
from custom/c_sysinfo because the c_sysinfo is just a demo
and this will simplify the custom/Makefile.
The include file calcerr.h is now the errsym.h include file.
The calcerr.tbl has been replaced by errtbl.c and errtbl.h.
The calcerr_c.awk, calcerr_c.sed, calcerr_h.awk, and
calcerr_h.sed files are now obsolete and have been removed.
The calcerr.c and calcerr.h now obsolete and are no longer built.
The calc computation error codes, symbols and messages are now in
a error_table[] array of struct errtbl.
An E_STRING is a string corresponds to an error code #define.
For example, the E_STRING for the calc error E_STRCAT,
is the string "E_STRING". An E_STRING must now match
the regular expression: "^E_[A-Z0-9_]+$".
The old array error_table[] of error message strings has been
replaced by a new error_table[] array of struct errtbl. The struct
errtbl array holds calc errnum error codes, the related E_STRING
symbol as a string, and the original related error message.
To add new computation error codes, add them near the bottom of the
error_table[] array, just before the NULL entry.
The ./errcode utility, when run, will verify the consistency of
the error_table[] array.
The Makefile uses ./errcode -e to generate the contents of
help/errorcodes file. The help errorcodes now prints
information from the new cstruct errtbl error_table[] array.
The help/errorcodes.hdr and help/errorcodes.sed files are
now obsolete and have been removed.
The Makefile uses ./errcode -d to generate the contents of the
errsym.h include file.
Updated .gitignore and trailblank to support the above changes.
Added help/errorcodes rule to the top level Makefile.
Added E_USERMAX symbol (== 32767) to indicate the maximum value
allowed for user error codes.
Improve help/error. Added text about error code ranges and
range symbols.
Improve comments about use of the ${CALC_ENV} Makefile variable.
Noted in Makefile.cal where and how the ${CALC_ENV} is used.
Use ${CALC_ENV} Makefile variable were needed.
Modified regression test cal/regress.cal: in some cases test numbers
were adjusted. Add comments indicate which test numbers apply to
which code. Indicated where there is room for new tests.
Expanded the end of test numbers from 9999 to 99999.
Added new aversin(x, [,eps]) for inverse versed sine and acoversin(x, [,eps])
for inverse coversed sine.
Improved trig function help files to reference use of complex arguments
that while supported were not documented.
Removed old Makefile testing rules for make dbx and make gdb.
Improved "make run" to execute calccalc using shared libraries
from the local directory, and with reading of the startup scripts
disabled.
Changed "make prep" to perform various tests that are used to
help verify that calc is ready for a release.
Added Makefile testing rule testfuncsort to check for the sort
of the builtin function list. Changed the order that builtin
functions are listed by "show builtin" and the help/builtin to
match the sorting of "LANG=C LC_ALL=C sort -d -u".
Added int.h as a centeral place for calc integer types and integer macros.
Currently zmath.c includes int.h but does not yet use it.
Added missing ptr type checks to chk_c.c.
The make chk_c file also forms status.chk_c.h which either
defines CHK_C when the C compiler and select include files
appear to meet calc requirements, or undefines CHK_C
when it does not.
Fixed have_statfs optional executable file extension ${EXT{ in
the ${UTIL_PROGS} make variable.
Prevented the "fake boolean value" when <stdbool.h> is missing,
from complicating C compilers post c17 standard.
Test if <stdint.h> exists and set HAVE_STDINT_H accordingly
in have_stdint.h. Added HAVE_STDINT_H to allow one to force
this value.
Test if <inttypes.h> exists and set HAVE_INTTYPES_H accordingly
in have_inttypes.h. Added HAVE_INTTYPES_H to allow one to force
this value.
Added c_chk.c to check the compiler and C include for calc
requirements. If you are unable to compile this program, or
if this program when compiles does not exit 0, then your C
compiler and/or C include fails to meet calc requirements.
Compilers that are at least c99 MUST be able to compile this
program such that when run will exit 0.
The "make hsrc" file will attempt to compile and run c_chk and
will warn if the C compiler and/or C include fails to meet
calc requirements. The "make debug" system will run c_chk -c
to print information about the C compiler and C include.
Currently failure to compile cc_chk.c or c_chk exiting non-0
will just print "WARNING!!" strings to stderr.
Fix "Under source code control" date for new version.h file.
Sorted the order of symbols printed by "make env".
Test if <stdbool.h> exists and set HAVE_STDBOOL_H accordingly
in have_stdbool.h. Added HAVE_STDBOOL_H to allow one to force
this value.
Added "bool.h" include file to support use of boolean symbols,
true and false for pre-c99 C compilers. The "bool.h" include
file defines TRUE as true, FALSE as false, and BOOL as bool:
for backward compatibility.
The sign in a ZVALUE is now of type SIGN, whcih is either
SB32 when CALC2_COMPAT is defined, or a bool.
Replaced in C source, TRUE with true, FALSE with false, and
BOOL with bool.
Moved calc version definition from version.c to version.h.
Added CALC2_COMPAT, that when defined attempts to maintain calc
version 2 compatibility. When MAJOR_VER <= 2, CALC2_COMPAT is
defined. This is anticipation for a future calc version 3 code.
Support for win32 and DJGPP has been dropped. Calc version
2.14.3.5 was the last to make references to win32 and make
references to DJGPP. Future versions of calc may work under
those systems, we just elected to remove the somewhat out of
date and awkward `win32.mkdef` and related win32 references.
If you are a win32 user, please feel free to create a win32
target in Makefile.target and submit as a pull request.
If you are a DJGPP user, please feel free to create a DJGPP
target in Makefile.target and submit as a pull request.
Until someone can test such systems, we prefer to wait
until someone is able to test and supply a pull request.
Under macOS, to reduce dependency chains, we remove functions
and data that are unreachable by the entry point or exported
symbols. In particular, the macOS linker is used with both
"-dead_strip" and "-dead_strip_dylibs".
The libcalc shared library is now linked with libcustcalc.
Sort .gitignore. Add calc.spec to .gitignore.
Update format of header part of Makefiles.
Modify calc.spec.in to handle dynamic shared libraries with 3-digit
version numbers.
Under macOS, to reduce dependency chains, we remove functions and
data that are unreachable by the entry point or exported symbols.
In particular, the macOS linker is used with "-dead_strip" by default.
While calc on macOS will execute if linker used with "-dead_strip_dylibs"
and CUSTOM is defined, other applications that use libcalc but not
libcustcalc (such as sample_many and sample_rand) will fail to execute
due to missile symbols. Therefore "-dead_strip_dylibs" is not used
by default when ALLOW_CUSTOM is "-DCUSTOM" under macOS.
Thanks to GitHub user @TurtleWilly for bringing to our attention,
problems related to use of "-dead_strip_dylibs".
When installing shared libraries, libcalc.x.y.z will be a link
to the libcalc shared library and libcustcalc.x.y.z will be a link
to the libcustcal shared library.
Removed the ${CAL_PASSDOWN}, ${HELP_PASSDOWN}, ${HELP_PASSDOWN},
${CSCRIPT_PASSDOWN} Makefile variables as the new Makefile
include files keep Makefile variables in sync.
Fixed the ability of calc to compile when CUSTOM is undefined
(i.e., -UCUSTOM). The libcustcalc is always built, regardless
of the $(ALLOW_CUSTOM} Makefile variable. However when CUSTOM
is undefined, the bulk of custom functions are not defined.
Moved makefile variables that configure calc and configure how to
compile calc from Makefile into a new Makefile.config file.
The Makeifle includes the Makefile.config file.
The cal/Makeifle includes the Makefile.config file.
The cscript/Makeifle includes the Makefile.config file.
The custom/Makeifle includes the Makefile.config file.
The help/Makeifle includes the Makefile.config file.
Now, the Makefile.config file will consistently configure
calc and how calc is compiled and built by all calc Makefiles.
The platform target section from the old Makefile has been moved to
a new file, Makefile.target. The custom/Makefile no longer includes
Makefile.
The Makeifle includes the Makefile.target file.
The cal/Makeifle includes the Makefile.target file.
The cscript/Makeifle includes the Makefile.target file.
The custom/Makeifle includes the Makefile.target file.
The help/Makeifle includes the Makefile.target file.
Now, the Makefile.target file will consistently set
target information for all calc Makefiles.
The cal/Makeifle includes the Makefile.local file.
The cscript/Makeifle includes the Makefile.local file.
The custom/Makeifle includes the Makefile.local file.
The help/Makeifle includes the Makefile.local file.
Thus, one may modify or append many Makefile variables
in all calc Makefiles.
Dropped support of Makefile.simple and custom/Makefile.simple.
The calc version 2.14.3.0 is the last release that supported
the Makefile.simple and custom/Makefile.simple files.
Now, a make that supports makefile conditional syntax is required.
The platform target section from the old Makefile has been moved
to a new file, Makefile.target. The Makefile.target is shared
by both Makefile and custom/Makefile. The custom/Makefile no
longer includes Makefile (instead it includes ../Makefile.target).
Updated comments in Makefile.local for how to Diagnosing memory,
thread, and crash issues under RHEL and macOS.
We no longer support the Makefile variable ${ALLOW_CUSTOM} to be empty.
Normally ${ALLOW_CUSTOM} is:
ALLOW_CUSTOM= -DCUSTOM
Now, to disable custom disable custom even if -C is given, use:
ALLOW_CUSTOM="-UCUSTOM"
Added comments in Makefile.local for how to reduce dependency chains
under macOS. XXX - this doesn't yet work so don't uncomment - XXX.
Improved .gitignore to ignore .static, calc-static,
sample_many-static and sample_rand-static.
Improved error messages when trying to compile with
with one calc type (when BLD_TYPE=calc-dynamic-only or
BLD_TYPE=calc-static-only) and install with the other.
When installing with BLD_TYPE=calc-static-only, the
installed calc and calc-static are links to each other.
Thanks to GitHub user @urtleWilly for this suggestion.
The dynamic shared libraries are not installed if they are not
built. So when installing with BLD_TYPE=calc-static-only, the
install rule will not attempt to install dynamic shared libraries.
Thanks to GitHub user @urtleWilly for bringing to our attention,
problems related to building a statically linked calc under macOS.
The following are the changes in this release:
Updated COPYING to include the actual text of "The Unlicense".
Made minor formatting changes to the file.
The Darwin specific ${DARWIN_ARCH}, thay by default was unset,
is now the ${ARCH_CFLAGS} Makefile variable. Comments about
various "-arch name" have been moved to the ${ARCH_CFLAGS} area.
For old Apple Power PC systems, the following is added:
COMMON_CFLAGS+= -std=gnu99
COMMON_LDFLAGS+= -std=gnu99
ARCH_CFLAGS+= -arch ppc
Old Apple Power PC systems should be detected by the
"uname -p" command returning "powerpc". One may force the
Power PC mode by adding to the end of any make command:
make ...make_args... target=Darwin arch=powerpc
or by adding the following in the Makefile.local file:
target= Darwin
arch= powerpc
Improved the output of the calcinfo rule by adding echos
of various uname values as well as some top Makefile variables.
Fixed the BUGS file with respect to using `make debug`.
Added a final ls of `debug.out` for `make debug`.
Test if the arch value (`uname -p`) is "powerpc".
PowerPC based systems no longer try to use xcrun to determine where
things like INCDIR (include files) are located.
The following are the changes in this release:
Added cal/fnv_tool.cal, a calc resource file defining:
find_fnv_prime(bits)
deprecated_fnv0(bits,fnv_prime,string)
fnv_offset_basis(bits,fnv_prime)
fnv1a_style_hash(bits,fnv_prime,prev_hash,string)
Fixed sorted order of cal/README.
