3 2.20_01 - Wed Jul 8 12:12:47 EDT 2009
5 - Fix XSUsage prototypes for testing [Jan Dubois]
7 2.20 - Wed Jul 1 13:42:11 EDT 2009
9 - No changes from 2.19_04
11 2.19_04 - Mon Jun 29 11:49:12 EDT 2009
13 - Changed tests to use Test::More and added it to prereqs
15 - Some tests skip if no compiler or if no dynamic loading
17 - INTERFACE keyword tests skipped for perl < 5.8
19 2.19_03 - Sat Jun 27 22:51:18 EDT 2009
21 - Released to see updated results from smoke testers
23 - Fix minor doc typo pulled from blead
25 2.19_02 - Wed Aug 6 22:18:33 2008
27 - Fix the usage reports to consistently report package name as well
28 as sub name across ALIAS, INTERFACE and regular XSUBS. [Robert May]
30 - Cleaned up a warning with -Wwrite-strings that gets passed into
31 every parsed XS file. [Steve Peters]
33 - Allow (pedantically correct) C pre-processor comments in the code
34 snippets of typemap files. [Nicholas Clark]
36 2.19 - Sun Feb 17 14:27:40 2008
38 - Fixed the treatment of the OVERLOAD: keyword, which was causing a C
39 compile error. [Toshiyuki Yamato]
41 2.18 - Mon Jan 29 20:56:36 2007
43 - Added some UNITCHECK stuff, which (I think) makes XS code able to
44 do UNITCHECK blocks. [Nicholas Clark]
46 - Changed 'use re "eval";' to 'BEGIN { $^H |= 0x00200000 };' so we
47 can compile re.xs in bleadperl. [Yves Orton]
49 - Fix an undefined-variable warning related to 'inout' parameter
52 2.17 - Mon Nov 20 17:07:27 2006
54 - Stacked $filepathname to make #line directives in #INCLUDEs work.
57 - Sprinked dVAR in with dXSARGS, for God-(Jarkko)-knows-what
58 reason. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
60 - Use printf-style formats in Perl_croak() for some significant
61 savings in number of distinct constant strings in the linked
62 binaries we create. [Alexey Tourbin]
64 - Don't use 'class' as a variable name in the t/XSTest.xs module,
65 since that's a keyword in C++. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
67 2.16 Fri Sep 15 22:33:24 CDT 2006
69 - Fix a problem with PREFIX not working inside INTERFACE
70 sections. [Salvador Fandin~o]
72 2.15 Mon Oct 10 11:02:13 EDT 2005
74 - I accidentally left out a README from the distribution. Now it's
75 auto-created from the main documentation in ExtUtils/ParseXS.pm.
77 2.14 Sat Oct 8 21:49:15 EDT 2005
79 - The filehandle for the .xs file was never being properly closed,
80 and now it is. This was causing some Win32 problems with
81 Module::Build's tests, which create a .xs file, process it with
82 ParseXS, and then try to remove it. [Spotted by Randy Sims]
84 2.13 Mon Oct 3 21:59:06 CDT 2005
86 - Integrate a cleanup-related change from bleadperl that somehow
87 never got into this copy. [Steve Hay]
89 2.12 Wed Aug 24 20:03:09 CDT 2005
91 - On Win32, there was a DLL file we create during testing that we
92 couldn't delete unless we closed it first, so testing failed when
93 the deletiong was attempted. This should now work (provided the
94 version of perl is high enough to have DynaLoader::dl_unload_file()
95 - I'm not sure what will happen otherwise). [Steve Hay]
97 - Fix a spurious warning during testing about a variable that's used
98 before it's initialized. [Steve Hay]
100 2.11 Mon Jun 13 23:00:23 CDT 2005
102 - Make some variables global, to avoid some "will not stay shared"
103 warnings at compile time. [Rafael Garcia-Suarez]
105 2.10 Mon May 30 21:29:44 CDT 2005
107 - This module is being integrated into the perl core; the regression
108 tests will now work properly when run as part of the core build.
109 [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes]
111 - Added the ability to create output files with a suffix other than
112 ".c", via the new "csuffix" option. This gets the module working
113 on Symbian. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
115 - Added the ability to put 'extern "C"' declarations in front of
116 prototypes. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
118 2.09 Sun Mar 27 11:11:49 CST 2005
120 - Integrated change #18270 from the perl core, which fixed a problem
121 in which xsubpp can make nested comments in C code (which is
122 bad). [Nicholas Clark]
124 - When no "MODULE ... PACKAGE ... PREFIX" line is found, it's now
125 still a fatal error for ParseXS, but we exit with status 0, which
126 is what the old xsubpp did and seems to work best with some modules
127 like Win32::NetAdmin. See RT ticket 11472. [Steve Hay]
129 2.08 Fri Feb 20 21:41:22 CST 2004
131 - Fixed a problem with backslashes in file paths (e.g. C:\Foo\Bar.xs)
132 disappearing in error messages. [Randy Sims, Steve Hay]
134 - Did a little minor internal code cleanup in the
135 ExtUtils::ParseXS::CountLines class, now other classes don't poke
136 around in its package variables.
138 2.07 Sun Jan 25 17:01:52 CST 2004
140 - We now use ExtUtils::CBuilder for testing the compile/build phase
141 in the regression tests. It's not necessary to have it for runtime
144 - Fixed a minor documentation error (look in 'Changes' for revision
145 history, not 'changes.pod'). [Scott R. Godin]
147 2.06 Fri Dec 26 09:00:47 CST 2003
149 - Some fixes in the regression tests for the AIX platform.
151 2.05 Mon Sep 29 10:33:39 CDT 2003
153 - We no longer trim the directory portions from the "#line " comments
154 in the generated C code. This helps cooperation with many editors'
155 auto-jump-to-error stuff. [Ross McFarland]
157 - In some cases the PERL_UNUSED_VAR macro is needed to get rid of C
158 compile-time warnings in generated code. Since this eliminates so
159 many warnings, turning on "-Wall -W" (or your platform's
160 equivalent) can once again be helpful. [Ross McFarland]
162 - Did a huge amount of variable-scoping cleanup, and it *still*
163 doesn't compile under 'use strict;'. Much progress was made
164 though, and many scoping issues were fixed.
166 2.04 Thu Sep 4 13:10:59 CDT 2003
168 - Added a COPYRIGHT section to the documentation. [Spotted by Ville
171 2.03 Sat Aug 16 17:49:03 CST 2003
173 - Fixed a warning that occurs if a regular expression (buried deep
174 within the bowels of the code here) fails. [Spotted by Michael
177 - Fixed a testing error on Cygwin. [Reini Urban]
179 2.02 Sun Mar 30 18:20:12 CST 2003
181 - Now that we know this module doesn't work (yet?) with perl 5.005,
182 put a couple 'use 5.006' statements in the module & Makefile.PL so
183 we're explicit about the dependency. [Richard Clamp]
185 2.01 Thu Mar 20 08:22:36 CST 2003
187 - Allow -C++ flag for backward compatibility. It's a no-op, and has
188 been since perl5.003_07. [PodMaster]
190 2.00 Sun Feb 23 16:40:17 CST 2003
192 - Tests now function under all three of the supported compilers on
193 Windows environments. [Randy W. Sims]
195 - Will now install to the 'core' perl module directory instead of to
196 'site_perl' or the like, because this is the only place MakeMaker
197 will look for the xsubpp script.
199 - Explicitly untie and close the output file handle because ParseXS was
200 holding the file handle open, preventing the compiler from opening
201 it on Win32. [Randy W. Sims]
203 - Added an '--output FILENAME' flag to xsubpp and changed ParseXS to use
204 the named file in the #line directives when the output file has an
205 extension other than '.c' (i.e. '.cpp'). [Randy W. Sims]
207 - Added conditional definition of the PERL_UNUSED_VAR macro to the
208 output file in case it's not already defined for backwards
209 compatibility with pre-5.8 versions of perl. (Not sure if this is the
210 best solution.) [Randy W. Sims]
213 1.99 Wed Feb 5 10:07:47 PST 2003
215 - Version bump to 1.99 so it doesn't look like a 'beta release' to
216 CPAN.pm. No code changes, since I haven't had any bug reports.
218 - Fixed a minor problem in the regression tests that was creating an
219 XSTest..o file instead of XSTest.o
222 1.98_01 Mon Dec 9 11:50:41 EST 2002
224 - Converted from ExtUtils::xsubpp in bleadperl
226 - Basic set of regression tests written
