source: trunk/third/gdbm/ChangeLog @ 18185

Tue Oct 15 15:00:11 PDT 2002    Jason Downs (downsj@downsj.com)

        * samp1.cc: Remove.

        * gdbm.3, gdbm.texinfo: 1.8.3.

        * version.c: Version 1.8.3., modernize string (release date is in
          American format).

        * gdbmreorg.c: Remove small memory leak.

        * Makefile.in: Use more subs from configure, remove mention of SunOS.
          Add support for spec'ing an install time prefix via INSTALL_ROOT.

        * INSTALL: Remove extra text from top.

        * config.guess, config.sub: Update to latest versions.

        * autoconf.h.in: Regenerate.

        * configure.in: Modernize.

        * systems.h: HAVE_ST_BLKSIZE -> HAVE_STRUCT_STAT_ST_BLKSIZE.

Fri Sep 27 16:12:44 PDT 2002    Jason Downs (downsj@downsj.com)

        * Makefile.in: Remove `info' target from all, since we don't even
          bother installing the one we built anyway.

        * Fix a few checks against dbf.read_write.

Wed Sep 25 15:19:00 PDT 2002    Jason Downs (downsj@downsj.com)

        * Makefile.in: Remove the dbm and ndbm routines from the main
          library, moving them to gdbm_compat.  install-compat now
          installs the compat headers and the library.  Increment the
          MAJOR number of the shared library due to the removal of
          the compat functions.

        * gdbm.3, gdbm.texinfo, version.c: 1.8.1; note gdbm_compat.

        * proto.h: Change _gdbm_fatal() to void.

        * update.c(_gdbm_fatal): Change function declaration to void.

        * update.c(_gdbm_fatal): Change default exit status to 1.

        * gdbmopen.c(gdbm_open): Remove setting of flags since we always check
          it against the mask.

        * testdbm.c, testndbm.c: Added stdlib.h inclusions.

        * falloc.c(push_avail_block): Fixed extremely rare case where the
          header avail table could fill up, causing us to over flow the
          table, corrupting memory, and eventually crashing.  Also forced
          merging of blocks within the scope of this routine (possibly
          should force them whenever the header avail table is being used).

        * gdbmerrno.c: Fix error count, there are more than 18.

        * gdbmerrno.h: Fix typo; GDBM_OPT_ILLEGAL is 20.

        * gdbmopen.c: Fix typo; s/GDBM_OPENMASK/GDBM_WRITER/.

Tue May 18 19:25:25 PDT 1999    Jason Downs     (downsj@downsj.com)

        * gdbm.3, gdbm.texinfo: Update for 1.8.

        * Makefile.in, configure.in: Switch to using libtool, but without
          automake.

        * aclocal.m4, config.guess, config.sub, ltconfig, ltmain.sh: New
          files (libtool 1.2).

Wed May 12 01:26:15 PDT 1999    Jason Downs     (downsj@downsj.com)

        * gdbmopen.c, gdbmclose.c, gdbmreorg.c: check file_locking before
          calling locking macros; add support for setting GDBM_NOLOCK in
          gdbm_open().

        * gdbmdefs.h: add file_locking flag to gdbm_file_info.

        * gdbmconst.h, gdbm.proto: add GDBM_NOLOCK flag.

        * gdbmfdesc.c: new file, adds external gdbm_fdesc() routine.

        * gdbm.proto, gdbm.proto2: clean up, use __P, and compress.

        * gdbmerrno.h: kill the enum, add defines for errors.

        * gdbmsetopt.c, testgdbm.c: support GDBM_SYNC/GDBM_SYNCMODE.

        * gdbmopen.c: gdbm_open() now DEFAULTS to ``fast mode''; use
          GDBM_SYNC to turn it off.  GDBM_FAST is obsolete and ignored.

        * gdbmconst.h: add GDBM_SYNC and GDBM_SYNCMODE.

        * proto.h, various source files: switch _ARGS to __P.

        * systems.h, various source files: kill word_t, just use int
          everywhere.

        * configure.in, autoconf.h.in: remove alloca() goo and modernize.

        * many source files: replace all instances of alloca() with real
          malloc()s and free()s.

        * update.c: don't deref NULL in _gdbm_fatal(), and don't use stdio.

          of replace, since header may not be empty any longer.

        * falloc.c (_gdbm_alloc): pop a block off the stack when the
          current header is half empty, instead of zero.

Fri Jun  3 05:11:33 1994  Jason Downs  (downsj@downsj.com)

        * gdbmstore.c (gdbm_store): don't alloc new disk if we're replacing

Sat Oct 30 05:20:45 1993  Jason Downs  (downsj@downsj.com)

        * testgdbm.c: Added support for bucket cache and block sizes,
          adding -c, -b and -g flags. Must use -g to specify the file
          name, now.

        * bucket.c, gdbmopen.c, gdbmclose.c, gdbmreorg.c, update.c,
          gdbmconst.h, gdbmdefs.h: Implemented dynamic, delayed

          testgdbm to make use of the new fast mode.

        * gdbmsync.c: Added this function to allow a programmer
          to use the GDBM_FAST mode but still be able to sync
          a database.

        * gdbmopen.c, gdbmdelete.c, gdbmfetch.c, gdbmseq.c, gdbmstore.c,
          gdbmreorg.c: Added initialization of gdbm_errno to GDBM_NO_ERROR.

Mon Mar 22 23:03:36 1993  Phil Nelson  (phil at cs.wwu.edu)

          sure the file is written to disk before continuing.

Sun Mar 21 21:33:31 1993  Phil Nelson  (phil at cs.wwu.edu)

        * proto.h: Added this as a new file.  It adds ANSI prototypes
          for ANSI compilers.

        * gdbmdefs.h: Added an include of proto.h.

        * Makefile: Added proper references to proto.h

        * gdbmopen.c: Changed (int *) casts to (long *) and added
          an initialization to dbf->header.

        * gdbmreorg.c: Added an "end update" on the new database and
          correctly set up the bucket cache.

        * update.c: (_gdbm_end_update) Added type void to header.

Wed Mar 17 19:14:27 1993  Phil Nelson  (phil at cs.wwu.edu)

        * Changed copyright on all files to include 1993.  Also deleted
          all references to my phone number.

Thu Feb 28 17:05:09 1991  Phil Nelson  (phil at strawberry.cs.wwu.edu)

        * Added 1991 to copyright lines on all files.

        * gdbmfetch.c: Fixed a bug introduced by previous changes.

        * version.c:  Updated version to 1.5.

Fri Feb  8 12:27:13 1991  Phil Nelson  (phil at strawberry.cs.wwu.edu)

        * Change author's e-mail address in all comments.

        * gdbmopen.c, systems.h: Changed opening sequence so that a
          database will not be truncated in NEWDB mode until the
          write has locked the file.

        * testgdbm.c: Fixed a bug that caused a segmentation fault on
          one computer.  Also added the flags "-r" for opening the
          database as a READER and "-n" for opening the database as
          a NEWDB writer.  The default mode remains the WRCREAT mode.

        * Various source files, changed the data types of various
          variables from int to long.  This should not make any difference
          to systems where sizeof(int) = sizeof(long).  It should make
          it easier to move to other systems.

        * gdbmstore.c: Added a check for NULL key or content dptr.  Due to
          NULLs being used as error indications, data cannot be NULL also.

        * gdbmfetch.c, gdbmseq.c, fetch.c: Added checks for zero sized
          key and content so malloc will not try to allocate zero bytes.

        * gdbmconst.h: Added this file so that all constants are in one
          central place.  A few constants can be changed without changing
          the header sizes.

Tue Aug 14 13:08:43 1990  Phil Nelson  (phil at unicorn.wwu.edu)

        * Version 1.4 released.  (version.c: Updated to correct version.)

        * Makefile: Added $(LIBS) to link for conv2gdbm.

        * README: Updated to version 1.4 and added a 1.0-1.4 change
          statement.

Wed Aug  8 16:57:29 1990  Phil Nelson  (phil at unicorn.wwu.edu)

        * gdbmopen.c: Restructured some code to initialize dbf
          more completely.

        * dbm.h: Added a null define to satisfy some versions that
