+ Tag: blume-20040511-win32sock
+ Description:
+ Added previously missing support for many socket-related functions
+ under win32.  Thanks to David Hansel <hansel@reactive-systems.com>
+ for the voluminous patch!
+ (I have not tested this patch under win32 yet.)
+ Here is David's e-mail:
+ Hi,
+ Attached to this email you find a diff against sml/nj 110.45
+ that will enable socket support under Windows.
+ To apply the patch (using unix or cygwin)
+) gunzip runtime.diff.gz
+) "cd" into "src/runtime" in the source tree of a fresh
+.45 installation.
+) patch -p 1 < [your/path/to]runtime.diff
+ The code compiles fine but has NOT yet been extensively tested.
+ I only ran a few tests for basic socket client functionality
+ (which worked fine).  Especially the functions that use ioctl
+ are not tested at all and might not work (see below).
+ I implemented this since we want to move to a newer version of sml/nj
+ but need socket support in order to use it.  This is the first time I
+ even had a look at the sml/nj source,  so please review my changes
+ before making this part of the distribution!  Here are a few issues
+ that I think might be better for someone to solve who is more
+ familiar with the sml/nj source (and socket programming):
+ - getnetbyaddr.c and getnetbyname.c will raise a "not implemented"
+   exception since I could not figure out what the windows equivalent
+   of these functions is
+ - In sockets-osdep.h there are a some #include statements that are
+   only used in a few files that include sockets-osdep.h
+ - In smlnj-sock-lib.c, function init_fn() calls WSAStartup() but
+   does not process its return value since I don't know how to
+   report an error upwards.
+ - It would probably be good to have a call to WSACleanup() when
+   the library is unloaded (if there is such a possibility).
+   Otherwise I think Windows will take care of this automatically
+   when the process finishes.
+ - I used ioctlsocket() as a replacement for ioctl() but I have
+   no idea if that is actually the proper replacement on Windows.
+ - All these issues are marked in the code by "FIXME" comments.
+ We use sml/nj extensively in our products and are quite happy
+ with it.  I hope this contribution will help you.
+ Keep up the good work!
+ David

+ Tag: blume-20040511-allsource
+ Description:
+ The installer now honors the "src-smlnj" target again, although its meaning
+ has changed from "all sources required for the compiler" to "all sources
+ the installer knows about".  In other words, if you enable "src-smlnj"
+ in the "targets" file, then the installer will pull in sources for
+ everything.  (Notice that this refers to source code only.  Compiled
+ code is still only installed for modules that were requested explicitly
+ or which are required for other modules that were requested explicitly.)

+ Tag: leunga-20040319-cygwin-nlffi
+ Description:
+ Fixed the runtime so that ml-nlffi-lib runs on the cygwin version
+ of SML/NJ.  The problem is that
+    lib = dlopen(NULL, ...)
+    f   = dlsym(lib, "malloc");
+ does not work on Windows unless we explicitly export symbols
+ such as 'malloc' during linking.  We fixed this by explicitly
+ exporting the required symbols with the magic gcc incantation:
+     -Wl,--export-all cygwin.def
+ where cygwin.def is a file containing all the symbols that
+ we wish to export.
+ I suspect this is a Windows problem and we'll have to
+ do the same (somehow with windows compilers) when
+ we build the native win32 version with the system
+ calls LoadLibrary/GetProcAddress.

+ Tag: blume-20031104-move-libraries
+ Description:
+ Eliminated the "dont_move_libraries" directive in config/targets.
+ (The mechanism was broken and could not be fixed easily.  Moreover,
+ there does not seem to be any reason not to move all libraries into
+ lib during installation.  I originally implemented this directive as a
+ backward-compatibility feature when I first introduced the new CM.
+ Now that things have been stable for a long time and going back to the
+ old CM is not an option, there is no reason to keep it around.)

  The mechanism that picks names for types still needs some work, though.
  (Right now it seems that if there is a type A.t which is defined to
- be B.y, but B is unavailable at toplevel, then A.t gets printed as
+ be B.u, but B is unavailable at toplevel, then A.t gets printed as
- "?.B.t" although the perhaps more sensible solution would be to use
+ "?.B.u" although the perhaps more sensible solution would be to use
  "A.t" in this case.  In other words, the prettyprinter should follow
  a chain of DEFtycs not farther than there are corresponding toplevel
  names in the current environment.)
