+ Tag: blume-20041006-handler
+ Description:
+ Cleaned up the absyn to reflect the invariant that HANDLE always
+ carries a FNexp as part of the type definition.  This eliminates some
+ superfluous sanity checks at runtime down the road.
+ Some minor cleanup of the btrace code.

+ Tag: blume-20041001-slave
+ Description:
+ Added hack to make slave mode work in the presence of the version
+ tool.  (Still, since the master does two passes over the code for
+ CMB.make, the release number gets bumped twice when slaves are
+ attached.  I don't know if this is worth fixing...)

+ Tag: blume-20040930-version
+ Description:
+ * Moved the "version" magic into its own little library under
+ src/system/smlnj/internal.  This avoids expensive reconstruction
+ of a stable src/compiler/core.cm.
+ * At the same time, structure CompilerVersion is now known as structure
+ SMLNJVersion.
+ * Arranged for the version tool to NOT kick in when rebuilding the system
+   (makeml -rebuild, fixpt).  Otherwise one would never reach a fixpoint.
+   Also, loading the versiontool does not work when rebuilding the system
+   because CM is not properly initialized at that time.

+ Tag: blume-20040929-autoversion
+ Description:
+ Implemented some CM magic to have
+     file src/compiler/TopLevel/main/version.sml
+ generated automagically.
+ The version is taken from two files: config/version and config/release.
+ The first is expected to contain a two-part version number such as 110.49.
+ The second should contain a single number, but it may be missing.
+ If the environment variable VERSIONTOOL_BUMP_RELEASE is defined at the
+ time the version tool is loaded (which is the first time you say CMB.make),
+ then the tool will increment the value stored in config/release every
+ time CMB.make is invoked.
+ The binfile format is now insensitive to anything beyond the first
+ two components of a version number, so bumping the release does not render
+ binfiles incompatible.  Auto-bumping can be used to keep track of versions
+ during development without invalidating existing binfiles.
+ In any case, every CMB.make updates the date information in version.sml.
+ (This is the date that is printed in the banner.)

+ Description:
+ Some cleanup of the controls code.
+ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Name: Matthias Blume (blume (at) tti - c (dot) org)
+ Date: 2004/09/27 22:08:00 CDT
+ Tag: blume-20040927-controls
+ Description:
+ Added two pieces of functionality to the Controls interface:
+.   val save'restore: 'a control -> unit -> unit
+    grabs the current value of the control in stage 1 and restores it
+    in stage 2.
+.   val set' : 'a control * 'a -> unit -> unit
+    stores the given value into the control in stage 2 (i.e., delayed)
+    but does all error checking in stage 1.
+    (This is for string controls that need to do parse their argument --
+     something that might fail.  In some cases, notably in CM, one
+     already knows the intended argument but wants to delay the actual
+     assignment until a time when error recovery would be more difficult.)
+ Changed the handling of controls in tool arguments to classes "sml" and
+ "lazysml":
+    - use Controls.save'restore as a more robust way of restoring the
+      old value (in particular: without having to re-parse the string)
+    - use controls to handle the "overload" keyword in the init group
+      (I believe this change actually fixes a long-standing obscure bug.)

+ Tag: blume-20040927-lazysml
+ Description:
+ Added a new tool class called "lazysml" to CM's tool chest.  The only
+ difference to "sml" is that compilation is done with Control.lazysml
+ set to true.  A source of class "lazysml" is automatically recognized
+ by a file name suffix of ".lml".
+ In addition to the above feature, the original class "sml" now also
+ supports a tool argument "lazy" which has the same effect.  As a
+ result, the following three lines are equivalent:
+     foo.sml : lazysml
+     foo.sml : sml (lazy)
+     foo.sml (lazy)
+ The setting goes into effect both during parsing and during
+ compilation.  The original setting is restored right after parsing and
+ after compilation, respectively.
+ In addition to all the above, there is also a general mechanism to set
+ ANY of the "controls" that are available at the command line via
+ "-C..." on a per-sml-file basis.  The same rules that apply for "lazy"
+ apply as well. (In fact, "lazy" is implemented as a special case of
+ the general mechanism.)
+ The .cm file syntax uses a new keyword tool argument called "with".
+ There are several ways of indicating the desired settings:
+     foo.sml (with:parser.quotations=true)
+     foo.sml (with:(name:parser.quotations value:true))
+     foo.sml (with:(name:name1 value:value1 name:name2 value:value2 ...))
+     foo.sml (with:(name1=value1 name2=value2 ...))
+     foo.sml (with:(name1=value1 name:name2 value:value2 name3=value3 ...))
+     etc.
+ Another possible abbreviation is to leave out the =v or value:v part
+ if the name refers to a boolean control (in which case the value is
+ taken to be true).  Thus, one could get lazy sml also by saying:
+     foo.sml (with:parser.lazy-keyword=true)
+     foo.sml (with:parser.lazy-keyword)
+     foo.sml (with:(name:parser.lazy-keyword value:true))
+     foo.sml (with:(name:parser.lazy-keyword))

+ Description:
+ Changed the interface of structures Timer and Unix to match the most
+ recent Basis spec.
+ In the case of Unix there still seems to be an open/weird issue:
+    The {text,bin}{In,Out}streamOf functions are supposed to create
+    fresh streams whenever they are called -- as opposed to have them
+    return the same stream every time.  This design is supposed to
+    prevent space leaks caused by proc values hanging on to streams.
+    The reap function, on the other hand, is supposed to close the
+    streams.  This cannot be done without having a handle on the
+    stream in proc after all...
+ I took the liberty to implement the following stopgap solution:
+   The proc value hangs on to the most recently created stream(s).
+   Reap closes those.  If either or both of the two streams hadn't
+   been created at all yet, then reap will close the corresponding
+   file descriptors directly.
+ PS: I don't understand the original space leak argument anymore.  If
+ a proc hangs on to the imperative stream, then I/O operations on those
+ will advance the state of the cached stream and avoid the space leak.

+ Tag: blume-20040525-group-owner
+ Description:
+ CM now ignores (but still accepts) the "owner" information in group
+ descriptions.  The owner of a group is its next enclosing
+ library. Each group must have a unique owner.  (There is a virtual
+ "toplevel" library that owns groups which are not nested within a real
+ library.)  Previously, each group had to explicitly declare its owner,
+ and CM would check that such a declaration is correct.  The new scheme
+ is to have CM check that for each group there is precisely one owning
+ library.
+ The advantage of the new scheme is that the programmer no longer needs
+ to maintain the somewhat annoying owner information.  The downside is
+ that CM cannot enforce the ownership rule across multiple runs of
+ CM.make.  Fortunately, enclosing the same group in two different
+ libraries A and B which are not part of the same program does not
+ cause real problems.

+ Description:
+ Arranged for ml-build to clean up after itself a little bit better.
+ The script generates a temporary SML source file and compiles it using

+ gets rid of those at the end, so they don't accumulate under .cm.
+ This required a minor change to install.sh because the name of the
+ metadata directory (default: .cm) is actually configurable at
+ installation time.

+ 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.
