NOTE: errstr was renamed to errsym.
Added errsym builtin function. The errsym(errnum | "E_STRING")
builtin, , when given a valid integer errnum that corresponds to a
calc error condition, will return an E_STRING string, AND when given
a valid E_STRING string that is associated with a calc error
condition, will return errnum integer that corresponds to a calc
error condition.
Supplying a non-integer numeric errnum code to error(), errno(),
strerror(), or errsym() will result in an error.
Added complex multiple approximation function to commath.c so
that users of libcalc may directly round complex number to
nearest multiple of a given real number:
E_FUNC COMPLEX *cmappr(COMPLEX *c, NUMBER *e, long rnd, bool cfree);
For example:
COMPLEX *c; /* complex number to round to nearest epsilon */
NUMBER *eps; /* epsilon rounding precision */
COMPLEX *res; /* c rounded to nearest epsilon */
long rnd = 24L; /* a common rounding mode */
bool ok_to_free; /* true ==> free c, false ==> do not free c */
...
res = cmappr(c, eps, ok_to_free);
The complex trigonometric functions tan, cot, sec, csc were implemented
in func.c as calls to complex sin and complex cos. We added the
direct calls to comfunc.c so that users of libcalc may
call them directly:
E_FUNC COMPLEX *c_tan(COMPLEX *c, NUMBER *eps);
E_FUNC COMPLEX *c_cot(COMPLEX *c, NUMBER *eps);
E_FUNC COMPLEX *c_sec(COMPLEX *c, NUMBER *eps);
E_FUNC COMPLEX *c_cot(COMPLEX *c, NUMBER *eps);
Improved help files for sin, cos, tan, cot, sec, csc. In case
of tan, cot, sec, csc corrected help file was corrected to
indicate that complex arguments are allowed. This was a help
file oversight from long ago when those trigonometric functions
Expanded the calc regression test suite test 34dd to test various
real and complex values for sin, cos, tan, cot, sec, csc.
Fixed more documentation and code comments that referred to the old
additive 55 (a55) shuffle pseudo-random number generator. We have
been using the subtractive 100 shuffle pseudo-random number generator
in place of the additive 55 generator for a while now.
Updated the cal/README to reflect the new names
of the calc regression test suite files.
Updated cal/Makefile to remove, when installing,
old names for calc regression test suite files.
Added missing getpgid_tmp to .gitignore.
To make the meaning a bit more clear in cal/regress.cal, we have
renamed the following test calc resource files that are related to
the calc regression test suite:
cal/test1700.cal -> cal/test8000.read.cal
cal/test2300.cal -> cal/test2300.obj_incdec.cal
cal/test2600.cal -> cal/test2600.numfunc.cal
cal/test2700.cal -> cal/test2700.isqrt.cal
cal/test3100.cal -> cal/test3100.matobj.cal
cal/test3400.cal -> cal/test3400.trig.cal
cal/test4000.cal -> cal/test4000.ptest.cal
cal/test4100.cal -> cal/test4100.redc.cal
cal/test4600.cal -> cal/test4600.fileop.cal
cal/test5100.cal -> cal/test5100.newdecl.cal
cal/test5200.cal -> cal/test5200.globstat.cal
cal/test8400.cal -> cal/test8400.quit.cal
cal/test8500.cal -> cal/test8500.divmod.cal
cal/test8600.cal -> cal/test8600.maxargs.cal
cal/set8700.cal -> cal/test8700.dotest.cal
cal/test8900.cal -> cal/test8900.special.cal
cal/test9300.cal -> cal/test9300.frem.cal
Added to test 94dd, read of a number of new calc resource files
that are not already read as a result of the calc regression test suite.
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.
Fixed how the historical trigonometric functions call
the underlying trigonometric functions. This fixes a
number of issues where the function for values of 0.
Updated cal/regress.cal to test historical trigonometric functions
at the 0 value.
Improved trig help files.
Added new vercos(x, [,eps]) for versed cosine and covercos(x, [,eps])
for inverse versed cosine.
Added new avercos(x, [,eps]) for inverse versed cosine and acovercos(x, [,eps])
for inverse coversed cosine.
In cases where the real value to the inverse versed sine and the
inverse coversed sine function produces a complex value, the
conversion from real to complex was incorrect.
Added c_to_q(COMPLEX *c, bool cfree) to make is easier to convert
a COMPLEX value that is real (imag part is 0) into a NUMBER and
optionally free the COMPLEX value.
The func.c code now uses c_to_q().
NOTE: There is a XXX bug marked in the f_aversin() and f_acoversin()
that still needs to be fixed.
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".
Moved versin() and coversin() to bottom of functions in func.c
(however the builtin function list remains sorted).
Created a historical trig functions section for cmath.h and qmath.h.
Moved cal/test3500.cal to cal/test9300.cal to make room
for future trip tests going from test 3427 thru 3599.
Add new logn(x, n [,eps]) builtin to compute logarithms to base n.
Verify that eps arguments (error tolerance arguments that override
the default epsilon value) to builtin functions have proper values.
Previously the eps argument had little to no value checks for
many builtin functions.
Document in help files for builtin functions that take eps arguments,
the LIMIT range for such eps values.
Added log2(x [,eps]) builtin function. When x is an integer
power of 2, log2(x) will return an integer, otherwise it will
return the equivalent of ln(x)/ln(2).
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.
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.
Added config("fraction_space", boolean) to help/config, along with
a few few minor text improvements. Updated cal/regress to test
config("tilde_space").
Added config("complex_space", boolean). The "complex_space" controls
whether or not a space (' ') is printed before and after the + or -
in complex values.
By default, config("complex_space") is false.
For example, with the default, config("complex_space", 0):
; asin(2)
1.57079632679489661923-1.31695789692481670863i
With config("complex_space", 1):
; asin(2)
1.57079632679489661923 - 1.31695789692481670863i
NOTE: Use of config("complex_space", 1) can break printing and scanning
of fractional values via "%r".
NOTE: Use of config("complex_space", 1) can break printing and scanning
of complex values via "%c".
Added config("complex_space", boolean) to help/config, along with
a few few minor text improvements. Updated cal/regress to test
config("complex_space").
Added config("tilde_space", boolean) to help/config, along with
a few few minor text improvements. Updated cal/regress to test
config("tilde_space").
Added config("fraction_space", boolean). The "fraction_space" controls
whether or not a space (' ') is printed before and after fractions.
By default, config("fraction_space") is false.
For example, with the default, config("fraction_space", 0):
; base(1/3),
; 1/7
1/7
With config("fraction_space", 1):
; base(1/3),
; 1/7
1 / 7
NOTE: Use of config("fraction_space", 1) can break printing and scanning
of fractional values via "%r".
NOTE: Use of config("fraction_space", 1) can break printing and scanning
of complex values via "%c".
Added config("fraction_space", boolean) to help/config, along with
a few few minor text improvements. Updated cal/regress to test
config("tilde_space").
Added config("tilde_space", boolean). The "tilde_space" controls
whether or not a space (' ') is printed after leading tilde ('~').
By default, config("tilde_space") is true, which is a change
from past behavior. For example, now:
; 1/3
~ 0.33333333333333333333
With config("tilde_space", 0):
; 1/3
~0.33333333333333333333
To disable "tilde_space", use config("tilde_space", 0) on the
command line and/or use config("tilde_space", 0),; in your ~/.calcrc.
Thanks goes to <GitHub use ljramalho> for this suggestion.
Added config("tilde_space", boolean) to help/config, along with
a few few minor text improvements. Updated cal/regress to test
config("tilde_space") and to account for the new default.
Fixed a \-escape bug in calc(1) man page.
Added cal/comma.cal:
Convert numbers into strings with 3-digit group and integer-fraction
separators.
If the value is an integer, the integer-fraction separator is not used.
str_comma(x, [group, [decimal]])
Convert x into a string.
If group is given and is a string, group will be used as
the 3-digit group separator, otherwise the default 3-digit
group separator will be used.
If decimal is given and is a string, group will be used as
the integer-fraction separator, otherwise the default
integer-fraction separator will be used.
The decimal and group arguments are optional.
set_default_group_separator(group)
Change the default 3-digit group separator if group is a string,
otherwise the default 3-digit group separator will not be
changed. Return the old 3-digit group separator.
set_default_decimal_separator(decimal)
Change the default 3-digit group separator if decimal is a
string, otherwise the default integer-fraction separator
will not be changed. Return the old integer-fraction separator.
print_comma(x, [group, [decimal]])
Print the value produced by str_comma(x, [group, [decimal]])
followed by a newline.
If the str_comma() does not return a string, nothing is printed.
The decimal and group arguments are optional.
The value produced by str_comma() is returned.
fprint_comma(fd, x, [group, [decimal]])
Print the value produced by str_comma(x, [group, [decimal]]),
without a trailing newline, on file fd.
If the str_comma() does not return a string, nothing is printed.
If fd is not an open file, nothing is printed.
The decimal and group arguments are optional.
The value produced by str_comma() is returned.
While 0^0 == 1, now for y > 0, 0^y == 0.
Adjusted cal/test8900.cal to reflect the this bug fix.
Added tests to cal/regress.cal to help verify bug fix is fixed.
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.
Fixed documentation that referred to the old additive 55
generator. We have been using the subtractive 100 in place
of the additive 55 generator for a while now.
