1 Revision history for Perl extension ExtUtils::ParseXS.
3 3.08 - Mon Dec 19 18:03:00 CET 2011
4 - Silence undefined-value-in-addition warning
5 (Nothing serious, just happened sometimes when reporting line numbers for
6 errors. But warning during build process.)
8 3.07 - Wed Dec 7 14:10:00 CET 2011
9 - Fix inconsistent versioning in 3.06.
11 3.06 - Fri Dec 2 08:10:00 CET 2011
13 - Fix Cygwin issues [Tony Cook]
14 avoid conflicting static / dllexport on legacy perls too
15 This probably fixes rt.cpan.org 72313 and 71964.
16 (3928a66ad4bd8aee704eda1942b7877c0ff1ab2c in core)
18 - Convert ` to ' [James Keenan]
19 55bee391aeff3c3b8d22fa4ce5491ee9440028aa and
20 6dfee1ec62c64d7afe8ced4650596dd9e7f71a63 in core
22 - Avoid some test-time warnings [Zefram]
23 97bae9c59cd181b3b54061213ec1fdce0ccb30d4 in core
25 3.05 - Wed Oct 5 08:14:00 CET 2011
27 - No functional changes, promoted to stable release.
29 3.04_04 - Mon Sep 12 08:12:00 CET 2011
31 - Simplify generated XS code by emitting a compatibility version
32 of dVAR. [Nicholas Clark]
34 - Fixed "INCLUDE: $cmd |", CPAN RT #70213
36 3.04_03 - Sun Sep 4 18:49:00 CET 2011
38 - By #defining PERL_EUPXS_ALWAYS_EXPORT or
39 PERL_EUPXS_NEVER_EXPORT early in your XS code, you can
40 force ExtUtils::ParseXS to always or never export
41 XSUB symbols. This has no effect on boot_* symbols since
42 those must be exported.
44 3.04_02 - Sat Sep 3 15:28:00 CET 2011
46 - Don't put null characters into the generated source
47 file when -except is used; write the '\0' escape sequence
48 properly instead. [Stephen Bennett]
50 3.04_01 - Sun Aug 28 17:50:00 CET 2011
52 - The XSUB.h changes to make XS(name) use XS_INTERNAL(name)
53 by default (which were in the 5.15.2 dev release of perl)
54 have been reverted since too many CPAN modules expect to
55 be able to refer to XSUBs declared with XS(name).
56 Instead, ExtUtils::ParseXS will define a copy of the
57 XS_INTERNAL/XS_EXTERNAL macros as necessary going back to
58 perl 5.10.0 (which is the oldest perl I had for testing).
59 By default, ExtUtils::ParseXS will use XS_INTERNAL(name)
62 3.04 - Thu Aug 25 08:20:00 CET 2011
64 - Stable release based on 3.03_03, no functional changes.
66 3.03_03 - Wed Aug 24 19:43:00 CET 2011
68 - Try to fix regression for input-typemap override in XS argument
69 list. (CPAN RT #70448)
71 - Explicit versions in submodules to fail early if something
74 3.03_02 - Sun Aug 21 13:19:00 CET 2011
76 - Properly strip trailing semicolons form inputmaps. These could
77 trigger warnings (errors in strict C89 compilers) due to
78 additional semicolons being interpreted as empty statements.
79 [Torsten Schoenfeld, Jan Dubois, Steffen Mueller]
81 - Now detects and throws a warning if there is a CODE section using
82 RETVAL, but no OUTPUT section. [CPAN RT #69536]
84 - Uses the explicit XS_EXTERNAL macro (from perl 5.15.2 and newer)
85 for XSUBs that need to be exported. Defines XS_EXTERNAL to fall
86 back to XS where that is not available.
88 - Introduces new EXPORT_XSUB_SYMBOLS XS keyword that forces exported
89 XSUB symbols. It's a no-op on perls before 5.15.2.
91 3.03 - Thu Aug 11 08:24:00 CET 2011
93 - Test fix: Try all @INC-derived typemap locations. (CPAN RT #70047)
96 3.02 - Thu Aug 4 18:19:00 CET 2011
98 - Test fix: Use File::Spec->catfile instead of catdir where appropriate.
100 3.01 - Thu Aug 4 17:51:00 CET 2011
102 - No significant changes from 3.00_05.
104 3.00_05 - Wed Jul 27 22:54:00 CET 2011
106 - Define PERL_UNUSED_ARG for pre-3.8.9 perls.
107 This should fix the tests on those perls.
109 3.00_04 - Wed Jul 27 22:22:00 CET 2011
111 - Require perl 5.8.1.
113 - Patches from CPAN RT #53938, #61908
114 Both of these are attempts to fix win32 problems:
115 Bug #61908 for ExtUtils-ParseXS: MSWin compilers and back-slashed paths
116 Bug #53938 for ExtUtils-ParseXS: MinGW Broken after 2.21
118 3.00_03 - Fri Jul 22 20:13:00 CET 2011
120 - Add some diagnostics when xsubpp fails to load a current-enough
121 version of ExtUtils::ParseXS. [Steffen Mueller]
123 - Add a check to Makefile.PL that scans @INC to determine whether
124 the new xsubpp will be shadowed by another, existing xsubpp
125 and warn the user vehemently. [Steffen Mueller]
127 3.00_02 - Thu Jul 14 18:00:00 CET 2011
129 - Move script/xsubpp back to lib/ExtUtils/xsubpp
130 The original move caused old xsubpp's to be used.
132 3.00_01 - Tue Jul 12 22:00:00 CET 2011
134 - Major refactoring of the whole code base.
135 It finally runs under 'use strict' for the first time!
136 [James Keenan, Steffen Mueller]
138 - Typemaps can now be embedded into XS code using a here-doc
139 like syntax and the new "TYPEMAP:" XS keyword.
142 - Move typemap handling code to ExtUtils::Typemaps
143 with full object-oriented goodness. [Steffen Mueller]
145 - Check API compatibility when loading xs modules.
146 If on a new-enough perl, add the XS_APIVERSION_BOOTCHECK macro to
147 the _boot function of every XS module to compare it against the API
148 version the module has been compiled against. If the versions do
149 not match, an exception is thrown. [Florian Ragwitz]
151 - Fixed compiler warnings in XS. [Zefram]
153 - Spell-check [Peter J. Acklam]
155 2.2206 - Sun Jul 4 15:43:21 EDT 2010
159 - Make xsubpp accept the _ prototype (RT#57157) [Rafael Garcia-Suarez]
161 - INCLUDE_COMMAND portability fixes for VMS (RT#58181) [Craig Berry]
163 - INCLUDE_COMMAND fixes to detect non-zero exit codes (RT#52873)
166 2.2205 - Wed Mar 10 18:15:36 EST 2010
170 - No longer ships with Build.PL to avoid creating a circular dependency
172 2.2204 - Wed Mar 10 14:23:52 EST 2010
176 - Downgraded warnings on using INCLUDE with a command from "deprecated"
177 to "discouraged" and limited it to the case where the command includes
178 "perl" [Steffen Mueller]
180 2.2203 - Thu Feb 11 14:00:51 EST 2010
184 - Build.PL was not including ExtUtils/xsubpp for installation. Fixed
185 by subclassing M::B::find_pm_files to include it [David Golden]
187 2.2202 - Wed Jan 27 15:04:59 EST 2010
191 - The fix to IN/OUT/OUTLIST was itself broken and is now fixed.
192 [Reported by Serdar Dalgic; fix suggested by Rafael Garcia-Suarez]
194 We apologize for the fault in the regex. Those responsible
197 2.2201 Mon Jan 25 16:12:05 EST 2010
201 - IN/OUT/OUTLIST, etc. were broken due to a bad regexp. [Simon Cozens]
203 2.22 - Mon Jan 11 15:00:07 EST 2010
205 No changes from 2.21_02
207 2.21_02 - Sat Dec 19 10:55:41 EST 2009
211 - fixed bugs and added tests for INCLUDE_COMMAND [Steffen Mueller]
213 2.21_01 - Sat Dec 19 07:22:44 EST 2009
217 - New 'INCLUDE_COMMAND' directive [Steffen Mueller]
221 - Workaround for empty newXS macro found in P5NCI [Goro Fuji]
223 2.21 - Mon Oct 5 11:17:53 EDT 2009
226 - Adds full path in INCLUDE #line directives (RT#50198) [patch by "spb"]
229 - Updated copyright and maintainer list
231 2.20_07 - Sat Oct 3 11:26:55 EDT 2009
234 - Use "char* file" for perl < 5.9, not "char[] file"; fixes mod_perl
235 breakage due to prior attempts to fix RT#48104 [David Golden]
237 2.20_06 - Fri Oct 2 23:45:45 EDT 2009
240 - Added t/typemap to fix broken test on perl 5.6.2 [David Golden]
241 - More prototype fixes for older perls [Goro Fuji]
242 - Avoid "const char *" in test files as it breaks on 5.6.2 [Goro Fuji]
245 - Merged changes from 2.2004 maintenance branch (see 2.200401 to 2.200403)
248 2.20_05 - Sat Aug 22 21:46:56 EDT 2009
251 - Fix prototype related bugs [Goro Fuji]
252 - Fix the SCOPE keyword [Goro Fuji]
254 2.200403 - Fri Oct 2 02:01:58 EDT 2009
257 - Removed PERL_CORE specific @INC manipulation (no longer needed)
259 - Changed hard-coded $^H manipulation in favor of "use re 'eval'"
262 2.200402 - Fri Oct 2 01:26:40 EDT 2009
265 - UNITCHECK subroutines were not being called (detected in ext/XS-APItest
266 in Perl blead) [reported by Jesse Vincent, patched by David Golden]
268 2.200401 - Mon Sep 14 22:26:03 EDT 2009
270 - No changes from 2.20_04.
273 2.20_04 - Mon Aug 10 11:18:47 EDT 2009
276 - Changed install_dirs to 'core' for 5.8.9 as well (RT#48474)
277 - Removed t/bugs.t until there is better C++ support in ExtUtils::CBuilder
280 - Updated repository URL in META file
282 2.20_03 - Thu Jul 23 23:14:50 EDT 2009
285 - Fixed "const char *" errors for 5.8.8 (and older) (RT#48104)
287 - Added newline before a preprocessor directive (RT#30673)
290 2.2002 - Sat Jul 18 17:22:27 EDT 2009
293 - Fix Makefile.PL installdirs for older perls
295 2.20_01 - Wed Jul 8 12:12:47 EDT 2009
297 - Fix XSUsage prototypes for testing [Jan Dubois]
299 2.20 - Wed Jul 1 13:42:11 EDT 2009
301 - No changes from 2.19_04
303 2.19_04 - Mon Jun 29 11:49:12 EDT 2009
305 - Changed tests to use Test::More and added it to prereqs
307 - Some tests skip if no compiler or if no dynamic loading
309 - INTERFACE keyword tests skipped for perl < 5.8
311 2.19_03 - Sat Jun 27 22:51:18 EDT 2009
313 - Released to see updated results from smoke testers
315 - Fix minor doc typo pulled from blead
317 2.19_02 - Wed Aug 6 22:18:33 2008
319 - Fix the usage reports to consistently report package name as well
320 as sub name across ALIAS, INTERFACE and regular XSUBS. [Robert May]
322 - Cleaned up a warning with -Wwrite-strings that gets passed into
323 every parsed XS file. [Steve Peters]
325 - Allow (pedantically correct) C pre-processor comments in the code
326 snippets of typemap files. [Nicholas Clark]
328 2.19 - Sun Feb 17 14:27:40 2008
330 - Fixed the treatment of the OVERLOAD: keyword, which was causing a C
331 compile error. [Toshiyuki Yamato]
333 2.18 - Mon Jan 29 20:56:36 2007
335 - Added some UNITCHECK stuff, which (I think) makes XS code able to
336 do UNITCHECK blocks. [Nicholas Clark]
338 - Changed 'use re "eval";' to 'BEGIN { $^H |= 0x00200000 };' so we
339 can compile re.xs in bleadperl. [Yves Orton]
341 - Fix an undefined-variable warning related to 'inout' parameter
344 2.17 - Mon Nov 20 17:07:27 2006
346 - Stacked $filepathname to make #line directives in #INCLUDEs work.
349 - Sprinked dVAR in with dXSARGS, for God-(Jarkko)-knows-what
350 reason. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
352 - Use printf-style formats in Perl_croak() for some significant
353 savings in number of distinct constant strings in the linked
354 binaries we create. [Alexey Tourbin]
356 - Don't use 'class' as a variable name in the t/XSTest.xs module,
357 since that's a keyword in C++. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
359 2.16 Fri Sep 15 22:33:24 CDT 2006
361 - Fix a problem with PREFIX not working inside INTERFACE
362 sections. [Salvador Fandin~o]
364 2.15 Mon Oct 10 11:02:13 EDT 2005
366 - I accidentally left out a README from the distribution. Now it's
367 auto-created from the main documentation in ExtUtils/ParseXS.pm.
369 2.14 Sat Oct 8 21:49:15 EDT 2005
371 - The filehandle for the .xs file was never being properly closed,
372 and now it is. This was causing some Win32 problems with
373 Module::Build's tests, which create a .xs file, process it with
374 ParseXS, and then try to remove it. [Spotted by Randy Sims]
376 2.13 Mon Oct 3 21:59:06 CDT 2005
378 - Integrate a cleanup-related change from bleadperl that somehow
379 never got into this copy. [Steve Hay]
381 2.12 Wed Aug 24 20:03:09 CDT 2005
383 - On Win32, there was a DLL file we create during testing that we
384 couldn't delete unless we closed it first, so testing failed when
385 the deletion was attempted. This should now work (provided the
386 version of perl is high enough to have DynaLoader::dl_unload_file()
387 - I'm not sure what will happen otherwise). [Steve Hay]
389 - Fix a spurious warning during testing about a variable that's used
390 before it's initialized. [Steve Hay]
392 2.11 Mon Jun 13 23:00:23 CDT 2005
394 - Make some variables global, to avoid some "will not stay shared"
395 warnings at compile time. [Rafael Garcia-Suarez]
397 2.10 Mon May 30 21:29:44 CDT 2005
399 - This module is being integrated into the perl core; the regression
400 tests will now work properly when run as part of the core build.
401 [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes]
403 - Added the ability to create output files with a suffix other than
404 ".c", via the new "csuffix" option. This gets the module working
405 on Symbian. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
407 - Added the ability to put 'extern "C"' declarations in front of
408 prototypes. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
410 2.09 Sun Mar 27 11:11:49 CST 2005
412 - Integrated change #18270 from the perl core, which fixed a problem
413 in which xsubpp can make nested comments in C code (which is
414 bad). [Nicholas Clark]
416 - When no "MODULE ... PACKAGE ... PREFIX" line is found, it's now
417 still a fatal error for ParseXS, but we exit with status 0, which
418 is what the old xsubpp did and seems to work best with some modules
419 like Win32::NetAdmin. See RT ticket 11472. [Steve Hay]
421 2.08 Fri Feb 20 21:41:22 CST 2004
423 - Fixed a problem with backslashes in file paths (e.g. C:\Foo\Bar.xs)
424 disappearing in error messages. [Randy Sims, Steve Hay]
426 - Did a little minor internal code cleanup in the
427 ExtUtils::ParseXS::CountLines class, now other classes don't poke
428 around in its package variables.
430 2.07 Sun Jan 25 17:01:52 CST 2004
432 - We now use ExtUtils::CBuilder for testing the compile/build phase
433 in the regression tests. It's not necessary to have it for runtime
436 - Fixed a minor documentation error (look in 'Changes' for revision
437 history, not 'changes.pod'). [Scott R. Godin]
439 2.06 Fri Dec 26 09:00:47 CST 2003
441 - Some fixes in the regression tests for the AIX platform.
443 2.05 Mon Sep 29 10:33:39 CDT 2003
445 - We no longer trim the directory portions from the "#line " comments
446 in the generated C code. This helps cooperation with many editors'
447 auto-jump-to-error stuff. [Ross McFarland]
449 - In some cases the PERL_UNUSED_VAR macro is needed to get rid of C
450 compile-time warnings in generated code. Since this eliminates so
451 many warnings, turning on "-Wall -W" (or your platform's
452 equivalent) can once again be helpful. [Ross McFarland]
454 - Did a huge amount of variable-scoping cleanup, and it *still*
455 doesn't compile under 'use strict;'. Much progress was made
456 though, and many scoping issues were fixed.
458 2.04 Thu Sep 4 13:10:59 CDT 2003
460 - Added a COPYRIGHT section to the documentation. [Spotted by Ville
463 2.03 Sat Aug 16 17:49:03 CST 2003
465 - Fixed a warning that occurs if a regular expression (buried deep
466 within the bowels of the code here) fails. [Spotted by Michael
469 - Fixed a testing error on Cygwin. [Reini Urban]
471 2.02 Sun Mar 30 18:20:12 CST 2003
473 - Now that we know this module doesn't work (yet?) with perl 5.005,
474 put a couple 'use 5.006' statements in the module & Makefile.PL so
475 we're explicit about the dependency. [Richard Clamp]
477 2.01 Thu Mar 20 08:22:36 CST 2003
479 - Allow -C++ flag for backward compatibility. It's a no-op, and has
480 been since perl5.003_07. [PodMaster]
482 2.00 Sun Feb 23 16:40:17 CST 2003
484 - Tests now function under all three of the supported compilers on
485 Windows environments. [Randy W. Sims]
487 - Will now install to the 'core' perl module directory instead of to
488 'site_perl' or the like, because this is the only place MakeMaker
489 will look for the xsubpp script.
491 - Explicitly untie and close the output file handle because ParseXS was
492 holding the file handle open, preventing the compiler from opening
493 it on Win32. [Randy W. Sims]
495 - Added an '--output FILENAME' flag to xsubpp and changed ParseXS to use
496 the named file in the #line directives when the output file has an
497 extension other than '.c' (i.e. '.cpp'). [Randy W. Sims]
499 - Added conditional definition of the PERL_UNUSED_VAR macro to the
500 output file in case it's not already defined for backwards
501 compatibility with pre-5.8 versions of perl. (Not sure if this is the
502 best solution.) [Randy W. Sims]
505 1.99 Wed Feb 5 10:07:47 PST 2003
507 - Version bump to 1.99 so it doesn't look like a 'beta release' to
508 CPAN.pm. No code changes, since I haven't had any bug reports.
510 - Fixed a minor problem in the regression tests that was creating an
511 XSTest..o file instead of XSTest.o
514 1.98_01 Mon Dec 9 11:50:41 EST 2002
516 - Converted from ExtUtils::xsubpp in bleadperl
518 - Basic set of regression tests written
