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The calcerr.tbl has been replaced by errtbl.c and errtbl.h.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The old array error_table[] of error message strings has been
replaced by a new error_table[] array of struct errtbl.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 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".
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.
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.
Updated COPYING file to indicate that these files are now
covered under "The Unlicense" (see https://unlicense.org):
sha1.c
sha1.h
cal/dotest.cal
cal/screen.cal
Updated help/credit to match the above changes to COPYING.
Updated CONTRIB-CODE and calc.man to refer to using GitHub pull requests
for contributing to calc (instead of using Email).
Updated BUGS and calc.man to refer to using GitHub issues
for reporting calc bugs (instead of using Email).
Updated QUESTIONS and calc.man to refer to using GitHub issues
for asking calc questions (instead of using Email).
Fixed Makefile.local command example to refer to overriding the
Makefile variable DEBUG (instead of CDEBUG).
Fixed all make chk ASAN warnings under macOS 13.2.1 when calc is compiled
with the following uncommented lines in Makefile.local:
DEBUG:= -O0 -g
CFLAGS+= -fsanitize=address -fno-omit-frame-pointer -fsanitize=undefined
LDFLAGS+= -fsanitize=address -fno-omit-frame-pointer -fsanitize=undefined
CALC_ENV+= ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_stack_use_after_return=1
Improved how pointers to functions are declared for the builtins
array in func.c to avoid function declarations without a prototype
that is now deprecated in C.
Improved how pointers to functions are declared for the opcodes
array in opcodes.c to avoid function declarations without a prototype
Replaced use of egrep with grep -E in Makefiles.
Fixed cases where variables were set but not used in symbol.c, calc.c,
and the main function in func.c as used by funclist.c.
Added rule name to "DO NOT EDIT -- generated by the Makefile" lines
in constructed files.
Test if <sys/vfs.h> exists and set HAVE_SYS_VFS_H accordingly
in have_sys_vfs.h. Added HAVE_SYS_VFS_H to allow one to force
this value.
Test if <sys/param.h> exists and set HAVE_SYS_PARAM_H accordingly
in have_sys_param.h. Added HAVE_SYS_PARAM_H to allow one to force
this value.
Test if <sys/mount.h> exists and set HAVE_SYS_MOUNT_H accordingly
in have_sys_mount.h. Added HAVE_SYS_MOUNT_H to allow one to force
this value.
Test if the system as the statfs() system call and set HAVE_STATFS
accordingly in have_statfs.h. Added HAVE_STATFS to allow one
to force this value.
The pseudo_seed() function will also try to call statfs() if
possible and permitted by the HAVE_STATFS value.
Changed /*NOTREACHED*/ to not_reached(); and use "attribute.h".
Added .PHONY rule, just after all rule, to Makefiles.
Fixed an improper indentation issue.
We apologize for the calc v2.14.0.12 source tarball that was missing
critical files. While the executable was well tested, our release
process was deficient.
We are improved our release process and added tests during the release
procedure to help verify that we are not regressing in to the "v2.14.0.12
source tarball" issue, among other things.
Depending on how things do, you might is several releases come out over
a short period of time. The core of calc isn't changing, so the calc
executable will be the same as we focus on the Makefiles, our release
procedure, and related documentation / help files.
We made several changes to the Makefiles. We also added a new
README.RELEASE document (see "help release") that is a work in
progress. Along the way we discovered a few things that needed to be
updated in documentation.
See the CHANGES file for details.
Added builtin functions to convert between degrees, minutes and
seconds and degrees under the config("mod") round rules:
dms2d(d, m, s [,rnd]) - convert deg, min, and secs to deg
dm2d(d, m [,rnd]) - convert deg, min to deg
See help/dms2d and help/dm2d.
Example:
; print dms2d(12, 20, 44.16);
12.3456
; print dm2d(3601, -25.5594);
0.57401
Added builtin functions to convert between gradians, minutes and
seconds and gradians under the config("mod") round rules:
gms2g(g, m, s [,rnd]) - convert grad, min, and secs to grad
gm2g(g, m [,rnd]) - convert grad and min to grad
See help/g2gms and help/g2gm.
Example:
; print gms2g(12, 20, 44.16);
12.3456
; print gm2g(4001, -25.5594);
0.57401
Added builtin functions to convert between hours, minutes and
seconds and hours under the config("mod") round rules:
hms2h(h, m, s [,rnd]) - convert hours, min, and secs to hours
hm2h(h, m [,rnd]) - convert hours, min to hours
See help/hms2h and help/hm2h.
Example:
; print hms2h(12, 20, 44.16);
12.3456
; print hm2h(241, -25.5594);
0.57401
Added several conversion functions:
Added builtin functions to convert between degrees and
degrees, minutes and seconds under the config("mod")
round rules:
d2dms(degs, d, m, s [,rnd]) - given degs, compute d, m, s
d2dm(degs, d, m [,rnd]) - given degs, compute d, m
See help/d2dms and help/d2dm.
Example:
; print d2dms(360.321,deg=,min=,sec=), deg, min, sec;
0.321 0 19 15.6
; print d2dm(360.321,deg=,min=), deg, min;
0.321 0 19.26
Added builtin functions to convert between gradians and
gradians, minutes and seconds under the config("mod")
round rules:
g2gms(grads, g, m, s [,rnd]) - given grads, compute g, m, s
g2gm(grads, g, m [,rnd]) - given grads, compute g, m
See help/g2gms and help/g2gm.
Example:
; print g2gms(400.321,grad=,min=,sec=), grad, min, sec;
0.321 0 19 15.6
; print g2gm(400.321,grad=,min=), grad, min;
0.321 0 19.26
Added builtin functions to convert between hours and
hours, minutes and seconds under the config("mod")
round rules:
h2hms(hours, h, m, s [,rnd]) - given hours, compute h, m, s
h2hm(hours, h, m [,rnd]) - given hours, compute h, m
See help/h2hms and help/h2hm.
Example:
; print h2hms(24.321,hour=,min=,sec=), hour, min, sec;
0.321 0 19 15.6
; print h2hm(24.321,hour=,min=), hour, min;
0.321 0 19.26
In addtion:
Renumbered regression tests 3408 thru 3437, to 9102 thru 9131.
Updated Added hms.cal resource file to use h2hms() builtin.
Updated Added dms.cal resource file to use d2dms() builtin.
Fix minor typo in help/mod SYNOPSIS.
Fix minor typo in help/quo SYNOPSIS.
Added a few more examples to help/strcmp.
A .bak file was accicently put into the DETAIL_HELP list.
That bogus help file was removed.
Modified the help/Makefile detail_help_list rule to remove .bak files
when forming DETAIL_HELP.
Updated CHANGES.
Updated help/unexpected.
Added help files for d2g(), d2r(), g2d(), g2r(), r2d(), r2g().
Added regression test code for the same functions.
Fixed a few minor typos.
Replaced /usr/local with the use of ${PREFIX} in calc Makefiles.
The ${PREFIX} is not the same as ${T}. The ${T} specifies
a top level directory under which calc installs things.
While usally ${T} is empty, it can be specific path
as if calc where "chrooted" during an install.
The ${PREFIX} value, during install, is a path between
the top level ${T} install directory and the object
such as an include file.
Corrected a few more typos in Makefile comments.
Added a bunch of information to the near bottom of HOWTO.INSTALL
on calc Makefiles. This information discusses the various
Makefiles found in the calc source.
Added comments in various calc Makefiles about their origin.
In particular, for Makefiles that are constructed such as
Makefile.simple, custom/Makefile and custom/Makefile.simple
there are comments about how they were made.
For all calc Makefiles, including those in sub-directories,
near the top there is now a line of the form:
# SRC: ... some message about the origin ...
The following are the changes in this release:
Fixed a typo typo in help/Makefile that caused the build of
2.12.9.0 to fail in a number of cases. Thanks to a report by
<GitHub user balducci>.
Pass form Makefile variables ${Q}, ${S}, ${E}, ${H} and ${V} down
to all sub-directory Makefiles from the top level Makefile.
Added notes to help/unexpected about:
display() will limit the number of digits printed after decimal point
%d will format after the decimal point for non-integer numeric values
%x will format as fractions for non-integer numeric values
fprintf(fd, "%d\n", huge_value) may need fflush(fd) to finish
Fixed Makefile dependencies for the args.h rule.
Fixed Makefile cases where echo with -n is used. On some systems,
/bin/sh does not use -n, so we must call /bin/echo -n instead
via the ${ECHON} Makefile variable.
Add missing standard tools to sub-Makefiles to make them
easier to invoke directly.
Sort lists of standard tool Makefile variables and remove duplicates.
Declare the SHELL at the top of Makefiles.
Fixed the depend rule in the custom Makefile.
Improved the messages produced by the depend in the Makefiles.
Changed the UNUSED define in have_unused.h to be a macro with
a parameter. Changed all use of UNUSED in *.c to be UNUSED(x).
Removed need for HAVE_UNUSED in building the have_unused.h file.
CCBAN is given to ${CC} in order to control if banned.h is in effect.
The banned.h attempts to ban the use of certain dangerous functions
that, if improperly used, could compromise the computational integrity
if calculations.
In the case of calc, we are motivated in part by the desire for calc
to correctly calculate: even during extremely long calculations.
If UNBAN is NOT defined, then calling certain functions
will result in a call to a non-existent function (link error).
While we do NOT encourage defining UNBAN, there may be
a system / compiler environment where re-defining a
function may lead to a fatal compiler complication.
If that happens, consider compiling as:
make clobber all chk CCBAN=-DUNBAN
as see if this is a work-a-round.
If YOU discover a need for the -DUNBAN work-a-round, PLEASE tell us!
Please send us a bug report. See the file:
BUGS
or the URL:
http://www.isthe.com/chongo/tech/comp/calc/calc-bugrept.html
for how to send us such a bug report.
Added the building of have_ban_pragma.h, which will determine
if "#pragma GCC poison func_name" is supported. If it is not,
or of HAVE_PRAGMA_GCC_POSION=-DHAVE_NO_PRAGMA_GCC_POSION, then
banned.h will have no effect.
Fixed building of the have_getpgid.h file.
Fixed building of the have_getprid.h file.
Fixed building of the have_getsid.h file.
Fixed building of the have_gettime.h file.
Fixed building of the have_strdup.h file.
Fixed building of the have_ustat.h file.
Fixed building of the have_rusage.h file.
Added HAVE_NO_STRLCPY to control if we want to test if
the system has a strlcpy() function. This in turn produces
the have_strlcpy.h file wherein the symbol HAVE_STRLCPY will
be defined, or not depending if the system comes with a
strlcpy() function.
If the system does not have a strlcpy() function, we
compile our own strlcpy() function. See strl.c for details.
Added HAVE_NO_STRLCAT to control if we want to test if
the system has a strlcat() function. This in turn produces
the have_strlcat.h file wherein the symbol HAVE_STRLCAT will
be defined, or not depending if the system comes with a
strlcat() function.
If the system does not have a strlcat() function, we
compile our own strlcat() function. See strl.c for details.
Fixed places were <string.h>, using #ifdef HAVE_STRING_H
for legacy systems that do not have that include file.
Added ${H} Makefile symbol to control the announcement
of forming and having formed hsrc related files. By default
H=@ (announce hsrc file formation) vs. H=@: to silence hsrc
related file formation.
Explicitly turn off quiet mode (set Makefile variable ${Q} to
be empty) when building rpms.
Improved and fixed the hsrc build process.
Forming rpms is performed in verbose mode to assist debugging
to the rpm build process.
Compile custom code, if needed, after main code is compiled.
Fixed Makefile dependenies for the args.h rule.
Fixed Makefile cases where echo with -n is used. On some systems,
/bin/sh does not use -n, so we must call /bin/echo -n instead
via the ${ECHON} Makefile variable.
Add missing standard tools to sub-Makefiles to make them
easier to invoke directly.
Sort lists of standard tool Makefile variables and remove duplicates.
Declare the SHELL at the top of Makefiles.
Fixed the depend rule in the custom Makefile.
Fixed a mistake in "help intro" where some inserted text
changed the value of "." and thus made the next result
incorrect.
Clarified in "help factor" that 1 is returned if no
factor below the limit was found.
Removed Makefile variable ${MAKEFILE_REV}.
The missing cscript/square.calc file has been restored.
Fixed compiler errors and warnings related to GCC.
In particular, gcc/9.3.1 and gcc/10.2.1 now compile
calc without any compiler errors or warnings,
even with -Werror -Wextra -pedantic.
To print out information about the calc compliation
environment, we added the following make rule:
make calcinfo
Improved how 'make debug' operates.
Moved help/contrib to CONTRIB-CODE. The help/contrib file
is now build from a copy of CONTRIB-CODE.
Created a new calc bug report Email address. Created a new calc
question Email address. Created a new calc contribution Email
address. See the BUGS file for details.
Added "help questions" to print the QUESIONS help file.
If the environment variable $CALCHELP is defined and is non-empty,
then calc help files will be in the direcgory by the $CALCHISTFILE
environment variable.
If the environment variable $CALCCUSTOMHELP is defined and is
non-empty, then custom calc help files will be in the direcgory
by the $CALCCUSTOMHELP environment variable.
The calc-tester mailing list has been retired. See:

Some folks might think: “you still use RCS”?!? And we will say,
hey, at least we switched from SCCS to RCS back in … I think it was
around 1994 ... at least we are keeping up! :-) :-) :-)
Logs say that SCCS version 18 became RCS version 19 on 1994 March 18.
RCS served us well. But now it is time to move on. And so we are
switching to git.
Calc releases produce a lot of file changes. In the 125 releases
of calc since 1996, when I started managing calc releases, there
have been 15473 file mods!
