Bug789040 came back in Tcl 8.4.6 and Tcl 8.5.
Dear All, Bug 789040 caused exec error in Windows 9x and was fixed in 10/04/03. But it came back in Tcl 8.4.6 and Tcl 8.5. Tcl Windows 9x users should be alerted to the possible failure of exec in the current Tcl 8.4.6 and 8.5 releases due to this bug. Chengye Mao http://www.geocities.com/~chengye

Have you identified at what point it was reintroduced? Was the
fix causing other issues and reverted, or simply reintroduced by
accident?

The bug was a missing space between tclpip.dll and the following command. The fix simply added the required space to solve this problem. I could not see any issues that the fix could possiblly have and don't understand why it should be replaced by the old buggy code. I guess it was probably reverted accidentently. Chengye

Now it's obvious. The only way to hit the "need to prime" logic on NT is to execute a 16-bit DOS app under Tk. And the part that primes the cmdLine DString already appends a space: win/tclWinPipe.c:1161 :: Tcl_DStringAppend(&cmdLine, "cmd.exe /c ", -1); I'll remove that space as BuildCommandLine() will be doing this. -- David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com> [species: human; planet: earth,milkyway(western spiral arm),alpha sector]

TCL is not thread safer in TCL 8.3 or 8.4... Any plans to fix this?
It is a shame that I can't upgrade one of my applications due to this problem, though the memory leaks also intorduced in 8.3 and 8.4 are problem as well. :( I have a process that spawn a configurable number of thread with a TCL intrepeter in each one. The interps are isolated and do not communicate or share anything withe each other. Each thread is a rule processor that is handed TCL scripts based on what events occurs within a multi process enviroment rnaing across the whole itnerprize... Works great with TCL 8.2, not a single problem... But with TCL 8.3 and TCL 8.4 we get quite a few run time errors and/or data corruption and core dumps that all leads back to TCL. :( Quite a shame! cwhooks@landacorp.com wrote: > It is a shame that I can't upgrade one of my applications due to this > problem, though the memory leaks also intorduced in 8.3 and 8.4 are > problem as well. :( What are the bug report ID numbers of the issues giving you trouble? -- | Don Porter Mathematical and Computational Sciences Division | | donald.porter@nist.gov Information Technology Laboratory | | http://math.nist.gov/~DPorter/ NIST | |______________________________________________________________________| Don Porter <dgp@email.nist.gov> wrote: > cwhooks@landacorp.com wrote: >> It is a shame that I can't upgrade one of my applications due to this >> problem, though the memory leaks also intorduced ...
tcl 8.5/8.4 difference
Hi TCLers, I've found a strange behaviour in Tcl 8.5.7 and 8.5.5 (vs. 8.4.19) when working with Pgtcl (pgaccess.tcl). The effected code line is (after a successfull database select): pg_result $pgres -assign curr_tabs The variable $pgres contains the correct handle (e.g. "pgsql6.0"), but Tcl 8.5 crashes with the message: Tcl_SetIntObj called with shared object whereas Tcl 8.4 continues without any error. I know that it is hard to analyze this problem without code, examples, .... but maybe the error behaviour brings some 1st idea where to start the search. I will investigate the problem more deeply.

Linux font issue between tcl 8.4 and 8.5?
We are using a red hat version of linux as well as activetcl 8.4 and 8.5 in one situation. A developer pointed out to me that when he looks at activetcl 8.4, there are a large number of fonts available. But when he looks at the same machine, same login, in a activetcl 8.5 process, it only sees a small number of fonts. I presume this has something to do with the new truetype font support. Is there something special one has to do with tk 8.5 so that it also sees the non-truetype fonts? On the linux system we are using, the number of truetype fonts is pretty limited and applications do not look as nice as the same applications running against activetcl 8.4. So, we are looking for suggestions on dealing with 8.5's font handling situation. On Jan 20, 2:12=A0pm, "Larry W.

Tcl SOAP
OK - Believe it or not, I have a "requirement" to use SOAP! The last time I worked with this, it did not work at all. So the following quesitons come to mind: Has it improved any - and it is working on Tcl 8.4.1 or later? Anyone using it for connecting to Web Services? Anyone using it to provide Web Services? I will immediately need to connect to a Web Service using SOAP (this is the "only" option), and then later provide Web Services via Apache (1.3 likely, but will migrate to 2.0x if necessary).

Strange difference between Tcl/Tk 8.4.12 and 8.5.0
Hi, there is a difference between etcl.exe Tcl/Tk 8.4.12 activestate tcl 8.5.0.0-beta-5 on the calc.tcl demo that comes with the etcl download. In 8.5: sqrt(2) --> 213562 ... (No problems with numbers that have non-negative integer square roots) 8.4 was fine. This is obviously not a problem with 8.5. Rather there is some difference between the parsers that is resulting in different arguments being sent to the sqrt function. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can look at the calc.tcl demo.

It's because with 8.5, tcl_precision default to 0 (i.e. maximal precision) while it defaults to 12 with 8.4.x (eTcl or any other distrib). This calc.tcl demo in eTcl distrib is pretty simple (not to say trivial), and implicitely use this for number formatting, instead of explictely calling [format ...] to format displayed result.

When upgrading from Tcl/Tk-8.4.* to 8.5.3 an error occurs in an old script (tkdiff+) I get unmatched open brace in list unmatched open brace in list while executing "foreach {pattern dummy1 dummy2} $content { if {$pattern == $data(v:status:pattern)} { set content [lreplace $content $i $i [clock format [clock s..." where $content contains (many lines removed) /Src/Src/Tcl/tkdiff-4.1.3-unix|/Src/Src/Tcl/tkdiff-4.1.4-unix {Sat Mar 08 16:20:58 CET 2008} { directory:. none directory:.. none file:COPYING none file:Changelog nok file:tkdiff nok file:tkdiff.bck none } /home/jarausch/Python_My/BackUp_X|/numa-i/home/jarausch/Python_My/BackUp_OLD {Tue May 20 14:39:37 CEST 2008} { directory:. none directory:.. none file:AFS_Launch.C none file:BackUp.Config none directory:jarausch ...

This means all of them will be evaluated. All substitutions are done before command evaluation. You probably wanted to code this instead: % set test_string "</Config>" </Config> % if {[ regexp "^</(.*)>" $test_string jerk cfg_line ]} { puts $cfg_line } elseif {[ regexp "^<(.*)>" $test_string jerk cfg_line ]} { } Config The difference is very basic to understanding the Tcl language. If you do not understand, take some time to review Tcl's substitution rules again. -- | Don Porter Mathematical and Compu...

Compiling Tcl 8.4.8
Just finish compiling Tcl 8.4.8 in WinXP. It produced few more files that 8.2, like tcl84s.lib, tclsh84s.exe.. What are those letter after the version number mean?? In this case, the 's' after 84. I was not be able get any info by searhing google... Can anyone please point me to a place where we I can understand those letter means... I think it means "static".

CatOS 6.4 came after 8.5
We just got a couple of new 6509's, and they shipped with catos 6.4.23. This didn't make sense to me since 8 has been shipping for a few years. Yet, I checked cisco's download site, and sure enough 6.4.23 was released December 21, 06, and 8.5.8 was released December 5, 2006. The image size for 6.4 is quite a bit less that 8.5, but new switches came with 6.4. Is 6.4 a new train or something?

TCL is not thread safer in TCL 8.3 or 8.4... Any plans to fix this?
It is a shame that I can't upgrade one of my applications due to this problem, though the memory leaks also intorduced in 8.3 and 8.4 are problem as well. :( I have a process that spawn a configurable number of thread with a TCL intrepeter in each one. The interps are isolated and do not communicate or share anything withe each other. Each thread is a rule processor that is handed TCL scripts based on what events occurs within a multi process enviroment rnaing across the whole itnerprize... Works great with TCL 8.2, not a single problem... But with TCL 8.3 and TCL 8.4 we get quite a few run time errors and/or data corruption and core dumps that all leads back to TCL. :( Quite a shame! cwhooks@landacorp.com wrote: > It is a shame that I can't upgrade one of my applications due to this > problem, though the memory leaks also intorduced in 8.3 and 8.4 are > problem as well. :( What are the bug report ID numbers of the issues giving you trouble? -- | Don Porter Mathematical and Computational Sciences Division | | donald.porter@nist.gov Information Technology Laboratory | | http://math.nist.gov/~DPorter/ NIST | |______________________________________________________________________| Don Porter <dgp@email.nist.gov> wrote: > cwhooks@landacorp.com wrote: >> It is a shame that I can't upgrade one of my applications due to this >> problem, though the memory leaks also intorduced ...
tcl 8.5/8.4 difference
Hi TCLers, I've found a strange behaviour in Tcl 8.5.7 and 8.5.5 (vs. 8.4.19) when working with Pgtcl (pgaccess.tcl). The effected code line is (after a successfull database select): pg_result $pgres -assign curr_tabs The variable $pgres contains the correct handle (e.g. "pgsql6.0"), but Tcl 8.5 crashes with the message: Tcl_SetIntObj called with shared object whereas Tcl 8.4 continues without any error. I know that it is hard to analyze this problem without code, examples, .... but maybe the error behaviour brings some 1st idea where to start the search. I will investigate the problem more deeply.

Linux font issue between tcl 8.4 and 8.5?
We are using a red hat version of linux as well as activetcl 8.4 and 8.5 in one situation. A developer pointed out to me that when he looks at activetcl 8.4, there are a large number of fonts available. But when he looks at the same machine, same login, in a activetcl 8.5 process, it only sees a small number of fonts. I presume this has something to do with the new truetype font support. Is there something special one has to do with tk 8.5 so that it also sees the non-truetype fonts? On the linux system we are using, the number of truetype fonts is pretty limited and applications do not look as nice as the same applications running against activetcl 8.4. So, we are looking for suggestions on dealing with 8.5's font handling situation. On Jan 20, 2:12=A0pm, "Larry W.

bind <Shift-something> does not work under XF 4.3 tcl 8.3.5, ActiveState 8.4.3
I have tried the following script, under XFree86-4.3.0-2 both with RedHat 8 and 9, either with the native RH tcl 8.3.5 and with the ActiveState tcl 8.4.3 distributions. In all these platform combinations, the binding of <Shift-* does not work. For example, for Shift-F1, I get XF86_Switch_VT_1 (see xmodmap dump below), but the binded script is not triggered.

Tcl SOAP
OK - Believe it or not, I have a "requirement" to use SOAP! The last time I worked with this, it did not work at all. So the following quesitons come to mind: Has it improved any - and it is working on Tcl 8.4.1 or later? Anyone using it for connecting to Web Services? Anyone using it to provide Web Services? I will immediately need to connect to a Web Service using SOAP (this is the "only" option), and then later provide Web Services via Apache (1.3 likely, but will migrate to 2.0x if necessary).

Strange difference between Tcl/Tk 8.4.12 and 8.5.0
Hi, there is a difference between etcl.exe Tcl/Tk 8.4.12 activestate tcl 8.5.0.0-beta-5 on the calc.tcl demo that comes with the etcl download. In 8.5: sqrt(2) --> 213562 ... (No problems with numbers that have non-negative integer square roots) 8.4 was fine. This is obviously not a problem with 8.5. Rather there is some difference between the parsers that is resulting in different arguments being sent to the sqrt function. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can look at the calc.tcl demo.

It's because with 8.5, tcl_precision default to 0 (i.e. maximal precision) while it defaults to 12 with 8.4.x (eTcl or any other distrib). This calc.tcl demo in eTcl distrib is pretty simple (not to say trivial), and implicitely use this for number formatting, instead of explictely calling [format ...] to format displayed result.

upgrade problem tcl/tk-8.4 -> 8.5 -- please help
Hi, unfortunately I have next to no knowledge in Tcl. When upgrading from Tcl/Tk-8.4.* to 8.5.3 an error occurs in an old script (tkdiff+) I get unmatched open brace in list unmatched open brace in list while executing "foreach {pattern dummy1 dummy2} $content { if {$pattern == $data(v:status:pattern)} { set content [lreplace $content $i $i [clock format [clock s..." where $content contains (many lines removed) /Src/Src/Tcl/tkdiff-4.1.3-unix|/Src/Src/Tcl/tkdiff-4.1.4-unix {Sat Mar 08 16:20:58 CET 2008} { directory:. none directory:.. none file:COPYING none file:Changelog nok file:tkdiff nok file:tkdiff.bck none } /home/jarausch/Python_My/BackUp_X|/numa-i/home/jarausch/Python_My/BackUp_OLD {Tue May 20 14:39:37 CEST 2008} { directory:. none directory:.. none file:AFS_Launch.C none file:BackUp.Config none directory:jarausch ...

This means all of them will be evaluated. All substitutions are done before command evaluation. You probably wanted to code this instead: % set test_string "</Config>" </Config> % if {[ regexp "^</(.*)>" $test_string jerk cfg_line ]} { puts $cfg_line } elseif {[ regexp "^<(.*)>" $test_string jerk cfg_line ]} { } Config The difference is very basic to understanding the Tcl language. If you do not understand, take some time to review Tcl's substitution rules again. -- | Don Porter Mathematical and Compu...

Compiling Tcl 8.4.8
Just finish compiling Tcl 8.4.8 in WinXP. It produced few more files that 8.2, like tcl84s.lib, tclsh84s.exe.. What are those letter after the version number mean?? In this case, the 's' after 84. I was not be able get any info by searhing google... Can anyone please point me to a place where we I can understand those letter means... I think it means "static". I suppose these libs can be used for embedding tcl into other applications, without depending on the tcl dlls.

CatOS 6.4 came after 8.5
We just got a couple of new 6509's, and they shipped with catos 6.4.23. This didn't make sense to me since 8 has been shipping for a few years. Yet, I checked cisco's download site, and sure enough 6.4.23 was released December 21, 06, and 8.5.8 was released December 5, 2006. The image size for 6.4 is quite a bit less that 8.5, but new switches came with 6.4. Is 6.4 a new train or something?
