New features with AN-2019-08-13: This is the first localization step for the schily source consolidation. Many programs now (hopefully) call gettext() for all strings that need localization. - The next step will include dgettext() calls for the libraries and the missing programs - The following step will include the extracted strings - The last step will include German translations and install support for the resulting binary message object files. ----------> Please test and report compilation problems! <--------- ***** NOTE: As mentioned since 2004, frontends to the tools should ***** ***** call all programs in the "C" locale ***** ***** by e.g. calling: LC_ALL=C cdrecord .... ***** ***** unless these frontends support localized strings ***** ***** used by the cdrtools with NLS support. ***** *** WARNING *** *** Need new smake *** *** Due to the fact that schily-tools 2014-04-03 introduced to use new macro *** expansions and a related bug fix in smake, you need a new smake *** to compile this source. If your smake is too old and aborts, ensure this *** by calling: cd ./psmake ./MAKE-all cd .. psmake/smake psmake/smake install The new smake version mentioned above is smake-1.2.4 The recent smake version is smake-1.3 *** Due to the fact that schily-tools 2014-01-26 introduced *** optimizations for the Schily version of SunPro Make, you *** need at least the dmake version from 2018/01/11 with support *** for the "export" directive to compile with this makefile system. WARNING: the new version of the isoinfo program makes use of the *at() series of functions that have been introduced by Sun in August 2001 and added to POSIX.1-2008. For older platforms, libschily now includes emulations for these functions but these emulations have not yet been tested thoroughly. Please report problems! BUG WARNING: Please never report bugs to Linux distributions as they usually do not forward these bug reports upstream and as the Linux distributions typically do not let skilled people check the bugs. We did not hear about a FIFO problem in star for a long time and since the problem that (on Linux) occurred once every 6000-10000 tries did not happen on Solaris after 10 million tries, it was not known otherwise. - Makefilesystem: a new link RULES/sparc64-openbsd-gcc.rul has been introduced. - Makefilesystem: The files RULES/*-openbsd-*cc.rul now use automatic bittness setup. - include/schily/nlsdefs.h now casts the dummy gettext() to char * in order to avoid a compiler warning. - libschily: Various functions and *at() emulation functions call stat() even though the caller does not know about that call. This could cause a missbehavior in case that a file returns EOVERFLOW with a normal stat(). We now compile these functions in unconditional large file mode to overcome that problem. The affected files are: diropen.c lutimens.c findinpath.c linkat.c mkdirs.c searchinpath.c resolvepath.c lchmod.c renameat.c Note that this problem affected star(1) on platforms that do not fully implement all *at() interfaces, since star started to support really long path names in July 2018. - cpp: A new option -B allows to honor C++ comment. This option was available in the Closed Source Solaris implementation as well, but it was missing from the Reiser original source. - cpp: The man page now mentions the cpp directives and documents the environment variable SUNPRO_DEPENDENCIES. - cpp: The exit code is no longer incremented on each error but rather set to 1. The old method could result in an apparent exit(0) since the historic wait() interface only supports the low 8 bits of the exit() parameter, many programs do not use waitid() and Linux even implements a completely broken waitid() that does not return all 32 bits from eht exit() call. - cpp: #error now prints an error message on stderr and immediately exits. This exit(1) only happens in case that #error is in conditional active code like: #if 1 #error abort #endif - cpp: A new option -p is similar to -T but in addition also checks for extra text after directives and gives the warning: "extra tokens (ignored) after directive" if such text was found. This option was available in the Closed Source Solaris implementation as well, but it was missing from the Reiser original source. We now support all documented options from the Closed Source Solaris cpp and some undocumented options in addition. - cpp: A fix from June 2018 for the warn character 0xFE that allowed #define foo þ to work caused a problem that prevented cpp from working correctly while compiling OpenSolaris-ON. The bug was to check the wrong offset for the second warn character 0xFE, when 0xFE is escaped. This new version has been verified by being used in a "nightly" compilation of OpenSolaris-ON. We definitely need a conformance test suite for cpp... - cpp: a basic set of conformance tests has been added. - cpp: New version -> 2.3 - star: Star did not compile on platforms without ACLs anymore since we did rearrange the code with schilytools 2019-07-15. We now have the needed #undef USE_ACL in diff.c as well. Thanks to Dennis Clarke for reporting. - star: Avoid a warning when a star -dump archive is unpacked on FreeBSD or Linux with non-contiguous minor bits. The warning is not needed since we only use SCHILY.dev in order to detect mount points but not to compute the major/minor parts. - mkisofs: The struct attrinfo in apple.h has been enhanced by the struct members objid_low, objid_high, rsrc_length. This is what other projects in the net use since a while. If you get problems with the Apple extensions of mkisofs and like to use the old version of struct attrinfo, compile mkisofs with smake COPTX=-DAPPLE_PEARSON_OLD - SunPro Make: The statement "using namespace std;" has been made conditional in order to support a compilation using the pre ANSI mode from the old Sun C++ compiler that does not support "using namespace std;". This mode is needed in order to support a compilation using the build environment from OpenSolaris-ON. It is enabled with the Sun CC compiler by using the option -compat=4 instead of the default -compat=5 - smake: Added some code to trick out GCC that warns on a so called bit loss while enlarging the fastalloc() size parameter for alignment purposes. - SCCS TODO: - Convert sccs.c to use -NSCCS in the back end programs instead of converting g-file names from the command line into s.file names in the frontend in order to forward s.file names to the backend programs. Doing it this way allows us to have the SCCS history files "off tree" in a separate directory tree starting with ".sccs/" at the "project root" directory, as the related code to convert path names is in libcomobj::bulkprepare(). - Add code to admin(1) and delta(1) to retrieve the list of new or modified files in order to have all important code for a "sccs commit" in a single program that does not need to deal with ARG_MAX limitations. - Add code to admin(1), delta(1) and get(1) to maintain/understand the changeset file. - Add code to libcomobj to understand the changeset file, which is needed in order to e.g. know the file names and file specific SIDs/state that correspond to a project global SID. - Add code to all programs to maintain a lock (for the file $PROJECTHOME/.sccs/SCCS/s.changeset, that would be in the file $PROJECTHOME/.sccs/SCCS/z.changeset) to maintain a project global lock. - Find/verify a complete transactional model that allows to repair complex changes to the set of files for a project that have been aborted in the middle. The current idea is to create the file $PROJECTHOME/.sccs/changeset with the deltas to the changeset during a complex update operation. - Find a way to decide when to use SCCS v6 type history files. For the project mode, this is needed in order to prevent historic SCCS implementations to believe they could modify files without knowing about project global locks. - Bourne Shell Missing features for POSIX compliance: - Support for $'...' quoting (this is not needed for the current version of POSIX but for the next POSIX version that will be named SUSv8). The development of SUSv8 will start in late 2016. We are now expecting the Bourne Shell to be fully POSIX compliant. - Bourne Shell further TODO list: - Finish loadable builtin support. - POSIX does not allow us to implement ". -h", so we will add a "source" builtin to be able to implement "source -h" - The following builtins (that are available in bsh) are still missing in the Bourne Shell: err echo with output going to stderr glob echo with '\0' instead of ' ' between args env a builtin version of /usr/bin/env The following bsh intrinsics are still missing in the Bourne Shell: - the restricted bsh has restriction features that are missing in the Bourne shell. - source -h read file into history but do not execute and probably more features not yet identified to be bsh unique.
