This file lists all bug fixes, changes, etc., made since the AWK book was sent to the printers in August, 1987. +Dec 13, 2002: + for the moment, the internationalization changes of nov 29 are + rolled back -- programs like x = 1.2 don't work in some locales, + because the parser is expecting x = 1,2. until i understand this + better, this will have to wait. + +Nov 29, 2002: + modified b.c (with tiny changes in main and run) to support + locales, using strcoll and iswhatever tests for posix character + classes. thanks to ruslan ermilov (ru@freebsd.org) for code. + the function isblank doesn't seem to have propagated to any + header file near me, so it's there explicitly. not properly + tested on non-ascii character sets by me. + +Jun 28, 2002: + modified run/format() and tran/getsval() to do a slightly better + job on using OFMT for output from print and CONVFMT for other + number->string conversions, as promised by posix and done by + gawk and mawk. there are still places where it doesn't work + right if CONVFMT is changed; by then the STR attribute of the + variable has been irrevocably set. thanks to arnold robbins for + code and examples. + + fixed subtle bug in format that could get core dump. thanks to + Jaromir Dolecek <jdolecek@NetBSD.org> for finding and fixing. + minor cleanup in run.c / format() at the same time. + + added some tests for null pointers to debugging printf's, which + were never intended for external consumption. thanks to dave + kerns (dkerns@lucent.com) for pointing this out. + + GNU compatibility: an empty regexp matches anything (thanks to + dag-erling smorgrav, des@ofug.org). subject to reversion if + this does more harm than good. + + pervasive small changes to make things more const-correct, as + reported by gcc's -Wwrite-strings. as it says in the gcc manual, + this may be more nuisance than useful. provoked by a suggestion + and code from arnaud desitter, arnaud@nimbus.geog.ox.ac.uk + + minor documentation changes to note that this now compiles out + of the box on Mac OS X. + +Feb 10, 2002: + changed types in posix chars structure to quiet solaris cc. + +Jan 1, 2002: + fflush() or fflush("") flushes all files and pipes. + + length(arrayname) returns number of elements; thanks to + arnold robbins for suggestion. + + added a makefile.win to make it easier to build on windows. + based on dan allen's buildwin.bat. + +Nov 16, 2001: + added support for posix character class names like [:digit:], + which are not exactly shorter than [0-9] and perhaps no more + portable. thanks to dag-erling smorgrav for code. + +Feb 16, 2001: + removed -m option; no longer needed, and it was actually + broken (noted thanks to volker kiefel). + +Feb 10, 2001: + fixed an appalling bug in gettok: any sequence of digits, +,-, E, e, + and period was accepted as a valid number if it started with a period. + this would never have happened with the lex version. + + other 1-character botches, now fixed, include a bare $ and a + bare " at the end of the input. + +Feb 7, 2001: + more (const char *) casts in b.c and tran.c to silence warnings. + Nov 15, 2000: fixed a bug introduced in august 1997 that caused expressions like $f[1] to be syntax errors. thanks to arnold robbins for |
