10 - Fix XSUsage prototypes for testing [Jan Dubois]
12 2.20 - Wed Jul 1 13:42:11 EDT 2009
14 - No changes from 2.19_04
16 2.19_04 - Mon Jun 29 11:49:12 EDT 2009
18 - Changed tests to use Test::More and added it to prereqs
20 - Some tests skip if no compiler or if no dynamic loading
22 - INTERFACE keyword tests skipped for perl < 5.8
24 2.19_03 - Sat Jun 27 22:51:18 EDT 2009
26 - Released to see updated results from smoke testers
28 - Fix minor doc typo pulled from blead
30 2.19_02 - Wed Aug 6 22:18:33 2008
32 - Fix the usage reports to consistently report package name as well
33 as sub name across ALIAS, INTERFACE and regular XSUBS. [Robert May]
35 - Cleaned up a warning with -Wwrite-strings that gets passed into
36 every parsed XS file. [Steve Peters]
38 - Allow (pedantically correct) C pre-processor comments in the code
39 snippets of typemap files. [Nicholas Clark]
41 2.19 - Sun Feb 17 14:27:40 2008
43 - Fixed the treatment of the OVERLOAD: keyword, which was causing a C
44 compile error. [Toshiyuki Yamato]
46 2.18 - Mon Jan 29 20:56:36 2007
48 - Added some UNITCHECK stuff, which (I think) makes XS code able to
49 do UNITCHECK blocks. [Nicholas Clark]
51 - Changed 'use re "eval";' to 'BEGIN { $^H |= 0x00200000 };' so we
52 can compile re.xs in bleadperl. [Yves Orton]
54 - Fix an undefined-variable warning related to 'inout' parameter
57 2.17 - Mon Nov 20 17:07:27 2006
59 - Stacked $filepathname to make #line directives in #INCLUDEs work.
62 - Sprinked dVAR in with dXSARGS, for God-(Jarkko)-knows-what
63 reason. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
65 - Use printf-style formats in Perl_croak() for some significant
66 savings in number of distinct constant strings in the linked
67 binaries we create. [Alexey Tourbin]
69 - Don't use 'class' as a variable name in the t/XSTest.xs module,
70 since that's a keyword in C++. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
72 2.16 Fri Sep 15 22:33:24 CDT 2006
74 - Fix a problem with PREFIX not working inside INTERFACE
75 sections. [Salvador Fandin~o]
77 2.15 Mon Oct 10 11:02:13 EDT 2005
79 - I accidentally left out a README from the distribution. Now it's
80 auto-created from the main documentation in ExtUtils/ParseXS.pm.
82 2.14 Sat Oct 8 21:49:15 EDT 2005
84 - The filehandle for the .xs file was never being properly closed,
85 and now it is. This was causing some Win32 problems with
86 Module::Build's tests, which create a .xs file, process it with
87 ParseXS, and then try to remove it. [Spotted by Randy Sims]
89 2.13 Mon Oct 3 21:59:06 CDT 2005
91 - Integrate a cleanup-related change from bleadperl that somehow
92 never got into this copy. [Steve Hay]
94 2.12 Wed Aug 24 20:03:09 CDT 2005
96 - On Win32, there was a DLL file we create during testing that we
97 couldn't delete unless we closed it first, so testing failed when
98 the deletiong was attempted. This should now work (provided the
99 version of perl is high enough to have DynaLoader::dl_unload_file()
100 - I'm not sure what will happen otherwise). [Steve Hay]
102 - Fix a spurious warning during testing about a variable that's used
103 before it's initialized. [Steve Hay]
105 2.11 Mon Jun 13 23:00:23 CDT 2005
107 - Make some variables global, to avoid some "will not stay shared"
108 warnings at compile time. [Rafael Garcia-Suarez]
110 2.10 Mon May 30 21:29:44 CDT 2005
112 - This module is being integrated into the perl core; the regression
113 tests will now work properly when run as part of the core build.
114 [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes]
116 - Added the ability to create output files with a suffix other than
117 ".c", via the new "csuffix" option. This gets the module working
118 on Symbian. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
120 - Added the ability to put 'extern "C"' declarations in front of
121 prototypes. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
123 2.09 Sun Mar 27 11:11:49 CST 2005
125 - Integrated change #18270 from the perl core, which fixed a problem
126 in which xsubpp can make nested comments in C code (which is
127 bad). [Nicholas Clark]
129 - When no "MODULE ... PACKAGE ... PREFIX" line is found, it's now
130 still a fatal error for ParseXS, but we exit with status 0, which
131 is what the old xsubpp did and seems to work best with some modules
132 like Win32::NetAdmin. See RT ticket 11472. [Steve Hay]
134 2.08 Fri Feb 20 21:41:22 CST 2004
136 - Fixed a problem with backslashes in file paths (e.g. C:\Foo\Bar.xs)
137 disappearing in error messages. [Randy Sims, Steve Hay]
139 - Did a little minor internal code cleanup in the
140 ExtUtils::ParseXS::CountLines class, now other classes don't poke
141 around in its package variables.
143 2.07 Sun Jan 25 17:01:52 CST 2004
145 - We now use ExtUtils::CBuilder for testing the compile/build phase
146 in the regression tests. It's not necessary to have it for runtime
149 - Fixed a minor documentation error (look in 'Changes' for revision
150 history, not 'changes.pod'). [Scott R. Godin]
152 2.06 Fri Dec 26 09:00:47 CST 2003
154 - Some fixes in the regression tests for the AIX platform.
156 2.05 Mon Sep 29 10:33:39 CDT 2003
158 - We no longer trim the directory portions from the "#line " comments
159 in the generated C code. This helps cooperation with many editors'
160 auto-jump-to-error stuff. [Ross McFarland]
162 - In some cases the PERL_UNUSED_VAR macro is needed to get rid of C
163 compile-time warnings in generated code. Since this eliminates so
164 many warnings, turning on "-Wall -W" (or your platform's
165 equivalent) can once again be helpful. [Ross McFarland]
167 - Did a huge amount of variable-scoping cleanup, and it *still*
168 doesn't compile under 'use strict;'. Much progress was made
169 though, and many scoping issues were fixed.
171 2.04 Thu Sep 4 13:10:59 CDT 2003
173 - Added a COPYRIGHT section to the documentation. [Spotted by Ville
176 2.03 Sat Aug 16 17:49:03 CST 2003
178 - Fixed a warning that occurs if a regular expression (buried deep
179 within the bowels of the code here) fails. [Spotted by Michael
182 - Fixed a testing error on Cygwin. [Reini Urban]
184 2.02 Sun Mar 30 18:20:12 CST 2003
186 - Now that we know this module doesn't work (yet?) with perl 5.005,
187 put a couple 'use 5.006' statements in the module & Makefile.PL so
188 we're explicit about the dependency. [Richard Clamp]
190 2.01 Thu Mar 20 08:22:36 CST 2003
192 - Allow -C++ flag for backward compatibility. It's a no-op, and has
193 been since perl5.003_07. [PodMaster]
195 2.00 Sun Feb 23 16:40:17 CST 2003
197 - Tests now function under all three of the supported compilers on
198 Windows environments. [Randy W. Sims]
200 - Will now install to the 'core' perl module directory instead of to
201 'site_perl' or the like, because this is the only place MakeMaker
202 will look for the xsubpp script.
204 - Explicitly untie and close the output file handle because ParseXS was
205 holding the file handle open, preventing the compiler from opening
206 it on Win32. [Randy W. Sims]
208 - Added an '--output FILENAME' flag to xsubpp and changed ParseXS to use
209 the named file in the #line directives when the output file has an
210 extension other than '.c' (i.e. '.cpp'). [Randy W. Sims]
212 - Added conditional definition of the PERL_UNUSED_VAR macro to the
213 output file in case it's not already defined for backwards
214 compatibility with pre-5.8 versions of perl. (Not sure if this is the
215 best solution.) [Randy W. Sims]
218 1.99 Wed Feb 5 10:07:47 PST 2003
220 - Version bump to 1.99 so it doesn't look like a 'beta release' to
221 CPAN.pm. No code changes, since I haven't had any bug reports.
223 - Fixed a minor problem in the regression tests that was creating an
224 XSTest..o file instead of XSTest.o
227 1.98_01 Mon Dec 9 11:50:41 EST 2002
229 - Converted from ExtUtils::xsubpp in bleadperl
231 - Basic set of regression tests written
