1 Revision history for Perl extension ExtUtils::ParseXS.
3 - Move typemap handling code to ExtUtils::Typemaps
4 with full object-oriented goodness. [Steffen Mueller]
6 - Significant refactoring of the whole code base.
7 It finally runs under 'use strict' for the first time!
10 - Check API compatibility when loading xs modules.
11 If on a new-enough perl, add the XS_APIVERSION_BOOTCHECK macro to
12 the _boot function of every XS module to compare it against the API
13 version the module has been compiled against. If the versions do
14 not match, an exception is thrown. [Florian Ragwitz]
16 - Fixed compiler warnings in XS. [Zefram]
18 - Spell-check [Peter J. Acklam]

43 "perl" [Steffen Mueller]
45 2.2203 - Thu Feb 11 14:00:51 EST 2010
49 - Build.PL was not including ExtUtils/xsubpp for installation. Fixed
50 by subclassing M::B::find_pm_files to include it [David Golden]
52 2.2202 - Wed Jan 27 15:04:59 EST 2010
56 - The fix to IN/OUT/OUTLIST was itself broken and is now fixed.

59 We apologize for the fault in the regex. Those responsible
62 2.2201 Mon Jan 25 16:12:05 EST 2010

102 2.20_06 - Fri Oct 2 23:45:45 EDT 2009
105 - Added t/typemap to fix broken test on perl 5.6.2 [David Golden]

127 2.200402 - Fri Oct 2 01:26:40 EDT 2009

168 2.19_04 - Mon Jun 29 11:49:12 EDT 2009
170 - Changed tests to use Test::More and added it to prereqs
172 - Some tests skip if no compiler or if no dynamic loading
174 - INTERFACE keyword tests skipped for perl < 5.8
176 2.19_03 - Sat Jun 27 22:51:18 EDT 2009
178 - Released to see updated results from smoke testers
180 - Fix minor doc typo pulled from blead
182 2.19_02 - Wed Aug 6 22:18:33 2008
184 - Fix the usage reports to consistently report package name as well
185 as sub name across ALIAS, INTERFACE and regular XSUBS. [Robert May]
187 - Cleaned up a warning with -Wwrite-strings that gets passed into
188 every parsed XS file. [Steve Peters]
190 - Allow (pedantically correct) C pre-processor comments in the code
191 snippets of typemap files. [Nicholas Clark]
193 2.19 - Sun Feb 17 14:27:40 2008
195 - Fixed the treatment of the OVERLOAD: keyword, which was causing a C
196 compile error. [Toshiyuki Yamato]
198 2.18 - Mon Jan 29 20:56:36 2007
200 - Added some UNITCHECK stuff, which (I think) makes XS code able to
201 do UNITCHECK blocks. [Nicholas Clark]
203 - Changed 'use re "eval";' to 'BEGIN { $^H |= 0x00200000 };' so we
204 can compile re.xs in bleadperl. [Yves Orton]
206 - Fix an undefined-variable warning related to 'inout' parameter
209 2.17 - Mon Nov 20 17:07:27 2006
211 - Stacked $filepathname to make #line directives in #INCLUDEs work.
214 - Sprinked dVAR in with dXSARGS, for God-(Jarkko)-knows-what
215 reason. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
217 - Use printf-style formats in Perl_croak() for some significant
218 savings in number of distinct constant strings in the linked
219 binaries we create. [Alexey Tourbin]
221 - Don't use 'class' as a variable name in the t/XSTest.xs module,
222 since that's a keyword in C++. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
224 2.16 Fri Sep 15 22:33:24 CDT 2006
226 - Fix a problem with PREFIX not working inside INTERFACE
227 sections. [Salvador Fandin~o]
229 2.15 Mon Oct 10 11:02:13 EDT 2005
231 - I accidentally left out a README from the distribution. Now it's
232 auto-created from the main documentation in ExtUtils/ParseXS.pm.
234 2.14 Sat Oct 8 21:49:15 EDT 2005
236 - The filehandle for the .xs file was never being properly closed,
237 and now it is. This was causing some Win32 problems with
238 Module::Build's tests, which create a .xs file, process it with
239 ParseXS, and then try to remove it. [Spotted by Randy Sims]
241 2.13 Mon Oct 3 21:59:06 CDT 2005
243 - Integrate a cleanup-related change from bleadperl that somehow
244 never got into this copy. [Steve Hay]
246 2.12 Wed Aug 24 20:03:09 CDT 2005
248 - On Win32, there was a DLL file we create during testing that we
249 couldn't delete unless we closed it first, so testing failed when
250 the deletion was attempted. This should now work (provided the
251 version of perl is high enough to have DynaLoader::dl_unload_file()
252 - I'm not sure what will happen otherwise). [Steve Hay]
254 - Fix a spurious warning during testing about a variable that's used
255 before it's initialized. [Steve Hay]
257 2.11 Mon Jun 13 23:00:23 CDT 2005
259 - Make some variables global, to avoid some "will not stay shared"
260 warnings at compile time. [Rafael Garcia-Suarez]
262 2.10 Mon May 30 21:29:44 CDT 2005
264 - This module is being integrated into the perl core; the regression
265 tests will now work properly when run as part of the core build.
266 [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes]
268 - Added the ability to create output files with a suffix other than
269 ".c", via the new "csuffix" option. This gets the module working
270 on Symbian. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
272 - Added the ability to put 'extern "C"' declarations in front of
273 prototypes. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
275 2.09 Sun Mar 27 11:11:49 CST 2005
277 - Integrated change #18270 from the perl core, which fixed a problem
278 in which xsubpp can make nested comments in C code (which is
279 bad). [Nicholas Clark]
281 - When no "MODULE ... PACKAGE ... PREFIX" line is found, it's now
282 still a fatal error for ParseXS, but we exit with status 0, which
283 is what the old xsubpp did and seems to work best with some modules
284 like Win32::NetAdmin. See RT ticket 11472. [Steve Hay]
286 2.08 Fri Feb 20 21:41:22 CST 2004
288 - Fixed a problem with backslashes in file paths (e.g. C:\Foo\Bar.xs)
289 disappearing in error messages. [Randy Sims, Steve Hay]
291 - Did a little minor internal code cleanup in the
292 ExtUtils::ParseXS::CountLines class, now other classes don't poke
293 around in its package variables.
295 2.07 Sun Jan 25 17:01:52 CST 2004
297 - We now use ExtUtils::CBuilder for testing the compile/build phase
298 in the regression tests. It's not necessary to have it for runtime
301 - Fixed a minor documentation error (look in 'Changes' for revision
302 history, not 'changes.pod'). [Scott R. Godin]
304 2.06 Fri Dec 26 09:00:47 CST 2003
306 - Some fixes in the regression tests for the AIX platform.
308 2.05 Mon Sep 29 10:33:39 CDT 2003
310 - We no longer trim the directory portions from the "#line " comments
311 in the generated C code. This helps cooperation with many editors'
312 auto-jump-to-error stuff. [Ross McFarland]
314 - In some cases the PERL_UNUSED_VAR macro is needed to get rid of C
315 compile-time warnings in generated code. Since this eliminates so
316 many warnings, turning on "-Wall -W" (or your platform's
317 equivalent) can once again be helpful. [Ross McFarland]
319 - Did a huge amount of variable-scoping cleanup, and it *still*
320 doesn't compile under 'use strict;'. Much progress was made
321 though, and many scoping issues were fixed.
323 2.04 Thu Sep 4 13:10:59 CDT 2003
325 - Added a COPYRIGHT section to the documentation. [Spotted by Ville
328 2.03 Sat Aug 16 17:49:03 CST 2003
330 - Fixed a warning that occurs if a regular expression (buried deep
331 within the bowels of the code here) fails. [Spotted by Michael
334 - Fixed a testing error on Cygwin. [Reini Urban]
336 2.02 Sun Mar 30 18:20:12 CST 2003
338 - Now that we know this module doesn't work (yet?) with perl 5.005,
339 put a couple 'use 5.006' statements in the module & Makefile.PL so
340 we're explicit about the dependency. [Richard Clamp]
342 2.01 Thu Mar 20 08:22:36 CST 2003
344 - Allow -C++ flag for backward compatibility. It's a no-op, and has
345 been since perl5.003_07. [PodMaster]
347 2.00 Sun Feb 23 16:40:17 CST 2003
349 - Tests now function under all three of the supported compilers on
350 Windows environments. [Randy W. Sims]
352 - Will now install to the 'core' perl module directory instead of to
353 'site_perl' or the like, because this is the only place MakeMaker
354 will look for the xsubpp script.
356 - Explicitly untie and close the output file handle because ParseXS was
357 holding the file handle open, preventing the compiler from opening
358 it on Win32. [Randy W. Sims]
360 - Added an '--output FILENAME' flag to xsubpp and changed ParseXS to use
361 the named file in the #line directives when the output file has an
362 extension other than '.c' (i.e. '.cpp'). [Randy W. Sims]
364 - Added conditional definition of the PERL_UNUSED_VAR macro to the
365 output file in case it's not already defined for backwards
366 compatibility with pre-5.8 versions of perl. (Not sure if this is the
367 best solution.) [Randy W. Sims]
370 1.99 Wed Feb 5 10:07:47 PST 2003
372 - Version bump to 1.99 so it doesn't look like a 'beta release' to
373 CPAN.pm. No code changes, since I haven't had any bug reports.
375 - Fixed a minor problem in the regression tests that was creating an
376 XSTest..o file instead of XSTest.o
379 1.98_01 Mon Dec 9 11:50:41 EST 2002
381 - Converted from ExtUtils::xsubpp in bleadperl
383 - Basic set of regression tests written
