49 - No changes from 2.19_04
51 2.19_04 - Mon Jun 29 11:49:12 EDT 2009
53 - Changed tests to use Test::More and added it to prereqs
55 - Some tests skip if no compiler or if no dynamic loading
57 - INTERFACE keyword tests skipped for perl < 5.8
59 2.19_03 - Sat Jun 27 22:51:18 EDT 2009
61 - Released to see updated results from smoke testers
63 - Fix minor doc typo pulled from blead
65 2.19_02 - Wed Aug 6 22:18:33 2008
67 - Fix the usage reports to consistently report package name as well
68 as sub name across ALIAS, INTERFACE and regular XSUBS. [Robert May]
70 - Cleaned up a warning with -Wwrite-strings that gets passed into
71 every parsed XS file. [Steve Peters]
73 - Allow (pedantically correct) C pre-processor comments in the code
74 snippets of typemap files. [Nicholas Clark]
76 2.19 - Sun Feb 17 14:27:40 2008
78 - Fixed the treatment of the OVERLOAD: keyword, which was causing a C
79 compile error. [Toshiyuki Yamato]
81 2.18 - Mon Jan 29 20:56:36 2007
83 - Added some UNITCHECK stuff, which (I think) makes XS code able to
84 do UNITCHECK blocks. [Nicholas Clark]
86 - Changed 'use re "eval";' to 'BEGIN { $^H |= 0x00200000 };' so we
87 can compile re.xs in bleadperl. [Yves Orton]
89 - Fix an undefined-variable warning related to 'inout' parameter
92 2.17 - Mon Nov 20 17:07:27 2006
94 - Stacked $filepathname to make #line directives in #INCLUDEs work.
97 - Sprinked dVAR in with dXSARGS, for God-(Jarkko)-knows-what
98 reason. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
100 - Use printf-style formats in Perl_croak() for some significant
101 savings in number of distinct constant strings in the linked
102 binaries we create. [Alexey Tourbin]
104 - Don't use 'class' as a variable name in the t/XSTest.xs module,
105 since that's a keyword in C++. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
107 2.16 Fri Sep 15 22:33:24 CDT 2006
109 - Fix a problem with PREFIX not working inside INTERFACE
110 sections. [Salvador Fandin~o]
112 2.15 Mon Oct 10 11:02:13 EDT 2005
114 - I accidentally left out a README from the distribution. Now it's
115 auto-created from the main documentation in ExtUtils/ParseXS.pm.
117 2.14 Sat Oct 8 21:49:15 EDT 2005
119 - The filehandle for the .xs file was never being properly closed,
120 and now it is. This was causing some Win32 problems with
121 Module::Build's tests, which create a .xs file, process it with
122 ParseXS, and then try to remove it. [Spotted by Randy Sims]
124 2.13 Mon Oct 3 21:59:06 CDT 2005
126 - Integrate a cleanup-related change from bleadperl that somehow
127 never got into this copy. [Steve Hay]
129 2.12 Wed Aug 24 20:03:09 CDT 2005
131 - On Win32, there was a DLL file we create during testing that we
132 couldn't delete unless we closed it first, so testing failed when
133 the deletiong was attempted. This should now work (provided the
134 version of perl is high enough to have DynaLoader::dl_unload_file()
135 - I'm not sure what will happen otherwise). [Steve Hay]
137 - Fix a spurious warning during testing about a variable that's used
138 before it's initialized. [Steve Hay]
140 2.11 Mon Jun 13 23:00:23 CDT 2005
142 - Make some variables global, to avoid some "will not stay shared"
143 warnings at compile time. [Rafael Garcia-Suarez]
145 2.10 Mon May 30 21:29:44 CDT 2005
147 - This module is being integrated into the perl core; the regression
148 tests will now work properly when run as part of the core build.
149 [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes]
151 - Added the ability to create output files with a suffix other than
152 ".c", via the new "csuffix" option. This gets the module working
153 on Symbian. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
155 - Added the ability to put 'extern "C"' declarations in front of
156 prototypes. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
158 2.09 Sun Mar 27 11:11:49 CST 2005
160 - Integrated change #18270 from the perl core, which fixed a problem
161 in which xsubpp can make nested comments in C code (which is
162 bad). [Nicholas Clark]
164 - When no "MODULE ... PACKAGE ... PREFIX" line is found, it's now
165 still a fatal error for ParseXS, but we exit with status 0, which
166 is what the old xsubpp did and seems to work best with some modules
167 like Win32::NetAdmin. See RT ticket 11472. [Steve Hay]
169 2.08 Fri Feb 20 21:41:22 CST 2004
171 - Fixed a problem with backslashes in file paths (e.g. C:\Foo\Bar.xs)
172 disappearing in error messages. [Randy Sims, Steve Hay]
174 - Did a little minor internal code cleanup in the
175 ExtUtils::ParseXS::CountLines class, now other classes don't poke
176 around in its package variables.
178 2.07 Sun Jan 25 17:01:52 CST 2004
180 - We now use ExtUtils::CBuilder for testing the compile/build phase
181 in the regression tests. It's not necessary to have it for runtime
184 - Fixed a minor documentation error (look in 'Changes' for revision
185 history, not 'changes.pod'). [Scott R. Godin]
187 2.06 Fri Dec 26 09:00:47 CST 2003
189 - Some fixes in the regression tests for the AIX platform.
191 2.05 Mon Sep 29 10:33:39 CDT 2003
193 - We no longer trim the directory portions from the "#line " comments
194 in the generated C code. This helps cooperation with many editors'
195 auto-jump-to-error stuff. [Ross McFarland]
197 - In some cases the PERL_UNUSED_VAR macro is needed to get rid of C
198 compile-time warnings in generated code. Since this eliminates so
199 many warnings, turning on "-Wall -W" (or your platform's
200 equivalent) can once again be helpful. [Ross McFarland]
202 - Did a huge amount of variable-scoping cleanup, and it *still*
203 doesn't compile under 'use strict;'. Much progress was made
204 though, and many scoping issues were fixed.
206 2.04 Thu Sep 4 13:10:59 CDT 2003
208 - Added a COPYRIGHT section to the documentation. [Spotted by Ville
211 2.03 Sat Aug 16 17:49:03 CST 2003
213 - Fixed a warning that occurs if a regular expression (buried deep
214 within the bowels of the code here) fails. [Spotted by Michael
217 - Fixed a testing error on Cygwin. [Reini Urban]
219 2.02 Sun Mar 30 18:20:12 CST 2003
221 - Now that we know this module doesn't work (yet?) with perl 5.005,
222 put a couple 'use 5.006' statements in the module & Makefile.PL so
223 we're explicit about the dependency. [Richard Clamp]
225 2.01 Thu Mar 20 08:22:36 CST 2003
227 - Allow -C++ flag for backward compatibility. It's a no-op, and has
228 been since perl5.003_07. [PodMaster]
230 2.00 Sun Feb 23 16:40:17 CST 2003
232 - Tests now function under all three of the supported compilers on
233 Windows environments. [Randy W. Sims]
235 - Will now install to the 'core' perl module directory instead of to
236 'site_perl' or the like, because this is the only place MakeMaker
237 will look for the xsubpp script.
239 - Explicitly untie and close the output file handle because ParseXS was
240 holding the file handle open, preventing the compiler from opening
241 it on Win32. [Randy W. Sims]
243 - Added an '--output FILENAME' flag to xsubpp and changed ParseXS to use
244 the named file in the #line directives when the output file has an
245 extension other than '.c' (i.e. '.cpp'). [Randy W. Sims]
247 - Added conditional definition of the PERL_UNUSED_VAR macro to the
248 output file in case it's not already defined for backwards
249 compatibility with pre-5.8 versions of perl. (Not sure if this is the
250 best solution.) [Randy W. Sims]
253 1.99 Wed Feb 5 10:07:47 PST 2003
255 - Version bump to 1.99 so it doesn't look like a 'beta release' to
256 CPAN.pm. No code changes, since I haven't had any bug reports.
258 - Fixed a minor problem in the regression tests that was creating an
259 XSTest..o file instead of XSTest.o
262 1.98_01 Mon Dec 9 11:50:41 EST 2002
264 - Converted from ExtUtils::xsubpp in bleadperl
266 - Basic set of regression tests written
