1 Revision history for Perl extension ExtUtils::ParseXS.
3 - Fixed the treatment of the OVERLOAD: keyword, which was causing a C
4 compile error. [Toshiyuki Yamato]
6 2.18 - Mon Jan 29 20:56:36 2007
8 - Added some UNITCHECK stuff, which (I think) makes XS code able to
9 do UNITCHECK blocks. [Nicholas Clark]
11 - Changed 'use re "eval";' to 'BEGIN { $^H |= 0x00200000 };' so we
12 can compile re.xs in bleadperl. [Yves Orton]
14 - Fix an undefined-variable warning related to 'inout' parameter
17 2.17 - Mon Nov 20 17:07:27 2006
19 - Stacked $filepathname to make #line directives in #INCLUDEs work.
22 - Sprinked dVAR in with dXSARGS, for God-(Jarkko)-knows-what
23 reason. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
25 - Use printf-style formats in Perl_croak() for some significant
26 savings in number of distinct constant strings in the linked
27 binaries we create. [Alexey Tourbin]
29 - Don't use 'class' as a variable name in the t/XSTest.xs module,
30 since that's a keyword in C++. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
32 2.16 Fri Sep 15 22:33:24 CDT 2006
34 - Fix a problem with PREFIX not working inside INTERFACE
35 sections. [Salvador Fandin~o]
37 2.15 Mon Oct 10 11:02:13 EDT 2005
39 - I accidentally left out a README from the distribution. Now it's
40 auto-created from the main documentation in ExtUtils/ParseXS.pm.
42 2.14 Sat Oct 8 21:49:15 EDT 2005
44 - The filehandle for the .xs file was never being properly closed,
45 and now it is. This was causing some Win32 problems with
46 Module::Build's tests, which create a .xs file, process it with
47 ParseXS, and then try to remove it. [Spotted by Randy Sims]
49 2.13 Mon Oct 3 21:59:06 CDT 2005
51 - Integrate a cleanup-related change from bleadperl that somehow
52 never got into this copy. [Steve Hay]
54 2.12 Wed Aug 24 20:03:09 CDT 2005
56 - On Win32, there was a DLL file we create during testing that we
57 couldn't delete unless we closed it first, so testing failed when
58 the deletiong was attempted. This should now work (provided the
59 version of perl is high enough to have DynaLoader::dl_unload_file()
60 - I'm not sure what will happen otherwise). [Steve Hay]
62 - Fix a spurious warning during testing about a variable that's used
63 before it's initialized. [Steve Hay]
65 2.11 Mon Jun 13 23:00:23 CDT 2005
67 - Make some variables global, to avoid some "will not stay shared"
68 warnings at compile time. [Rafael Garcia-Suarez]
70 2.10 Mon May 30 21:29:44 CDT 2005
72 - This module is being integrated into the perl core; the regression
73 tests will now work properly when run as part of the core build.
74 [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes]
76 - Added the ability to create output files with a suffix other than
77 ".c", via the new "csuffix" option. This gets the module working
78 on Symbian. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
80 - Added the ability to put 'extern "C"' declarations in front of
81 prototypes. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
83 2.09 Sun Mar 27 11:11:49 CST 2005
85 - Integrated change #18270 from the perl core, which fixed a problem
86 in which xsubpp can make nested comments in C code (which is
87 bad). [Nicholas Clark]
89 - When no "MODULE ... PACKAGE ... PREFIX" line is found, it's now
90 still a fatal error for ParseXS, but we exit with status 0, which
91 is what the old xsubpp did and seems to work best with some modules
92 like Win32::NetAdmin. See RT ticket 11472. [Steve Hay]
94 2.08 Fri Feb 20 21:41:22 CST 2004
96 - Fixed a problem with backslashes in file paths (e.g. C:\Foo\Bar.xs)
97 disappearing in error messages. [Randy Sims, Steve Hay]
99 - Did a little minor internal code cleanup in the
100 ExtUtils::ParseXS::CountLines class, now other classes don't poke
101 around in its package variables.
103 2.07 Sun Jan 25 17:01:52 CST 2004
105 - We now use ExtUtils::CBuilder for testing the compile/build phase
106 in the regression tests. It's not necessary to have it for runtime
109 - Fixed a minor documentation error (look in 'Changes' for revision
110 history, not 'changes.pod'). [Scott R. Godin]
112 2.06 Fri Dec 26 09:00:47 CST 2003
114 - Some fixes in the regression tests for the AIX platform.
116 2.05 Mon Sep 29 10:33:39 CDT 2003
118 - We no longer trim the directory portions from the "#line " comments
119 in the generated C code. This helps cooperation with many editors'
120 auto-jump-to-error stuff. [Ross McFarland]
122 - In some cases the PERL_UNUSED_VAR macro is needed to get rid of C
123 compile-time warnings in generated code. Since this eliminates so
124 many warnings, turning on "-Wall -W" (or your platform's
125 equivalent) can once again be helpful. [Ross McFarland]
127 - Did a huge amount of variable-scoping cleanup, and it *still*
128 doesn't compile under 'use strict;'. Much progress was made
129 though, and many scoping issues were fixed.
131 2.04 Thu Sep 4 13:10:59 CDT 2003
133 - Added a COPYRIGHT section to the documentation. [Spotted by Ville
136 2.03 Sat Aug 16 17:49:03 CST 2003
138 - Fixed a warning that occurs if a regular expression (buried deep
139 within the bowels of the code here) fails. [Spotted by Michael
142 - Fixed a testing error on Cygwin. [Reini Urban]
144 2.02 Sun Mar 30 18:20:12 CST 2003
146 - Now that we know this module doesn't work (yet?) with perl 5.005,
147 put a couple 'use 5.006' statements in the module & Makefile.PL so
148 we're explicit about the dependency. [Richard Clamp]
150 2.01 Thu Mar 20 08:22:36 CST 2003
152 - Allow -C++ flag for backward compatibility. It's a no-op, and has
153 been since perl5.003_07. [PodMaster]
155 2.00 Sun Feb 23 16:40:17 CST 2003
157 - Tests now function under all three of the supported compilers on
158 Windows environments. [Randy W. Sims]
160 - Will now install to the 'core' perl module directory instead of to
161 'site_perl' or the like, because this is the only place MakeMaker
162 will look for the xsubpp script.
164 - Explicitly untie and close the output file handle because ParseXS was
165 holding the file handle open, preventing the compiler from opening
166 it on Win32. [Randy W. Sims]
168 - Added an '--output FILENAME' flag to xsubpp and changed ParseXS to use
169 the named file in the #line directives when the output file has an
170 extension other than '.c' (i.e. '.cpp'). [Randy W. Sims]
172 - Added conditional definition of the PERL_UNUSED_VAR macro to the
173 output file in case it's not already defined for backwards
174 compatibility with pre-5.8 versions of perl. (Not sure if this is the
175 best solution.) [Randy W. Sims]
178 1.99 Wed Feb 5 10:07:47 PST 2003
180 - Version bump to 1.99 so it doesn't look like a 'beta release' to
181 CPAN.pm. No code changes, since I haven't had any bug reports.
183 - Fixed a minor problem in the regression tests that was creating an
184 XSTest..o file instead of XSTest.o
187 1.98_01 Mon Dec 9 11:50:41 EST 2002
189 - Converted from ExtUtils::xsubpp in bleadperl
191 - Basic set of regression tests written
