18		Tag: blume-20040713-nlffi
19		Description:
20
21		- use paramAlloc to report c-calls with too many arguments
22		(for PPC version where parameter area is pre-allocated)
23		- added ccall_maxargspace to machspec (to implement the above)
24		- made "make" commend in CM's "make" tool configurable
25		- added option (default: on) for passing the name of the SML/NJ's "bin"
26		directory to "make"; the call looks like this:
27
28		make <options> SMLNJ_BINDIR=<dir> <target>
29
30		This can be used by the Makefile to, e.g., pick the "right" version
31		of ml-nlffigen.
32		- minor code tweaks

37		Tag: blume-110_46_1-macosx-nlffi
38		Description:
39
40		NLFFI under Mac OS X now working (sort of).  This is largely untested,
41		though.
42
43		Note:  1. You have to make a new, clean build of the runtime system.
44		2. There are new BOOTFILES, you have to use them!
45		(Doing the bootstrap process yourself would be *very* painful!
46		If you absolutely have to do it, build the system under
47		a different architecture and then cross-compile.)
48
49		Version bumped to 110.46.1 to account for runtime data format changes.

54		Tag: blume-20040618-unix
55		Description:
56
57		Changed the implementation of structure Unix so that the same stream
58		is returned every time one of the {text,bin}{In,Out}streamOf functions
59		is invoked on the same proc.  This is not what the spec currently
60		says -- although IMO it arguably should.  (See discussion below.)

66		Description:
67
68		New working version (110.46).  NEW BOOTFILES!

73		Tag: blume-20040617-timer-unix
74		Description:
75
76		Changed the interface of structures Timer and Unix to match the most
77		recent Basis spec.
78
79		In the case of Unix there still seems to be an open/weird issue:
80
81		The {text,bin}{In,Out}streamOf functions are supposed to create
82		fresh streams whenever they are called -- as opposed to have them
83		return the same stream every time.  This design is supposed to
84		prevent space leaks caused by proc values hanging on to streams.
85
86		The reap function, on the other hand, is supposed to close the
87		streams.  This cannot be done without having a handle on the
88		stream in proc after all...
89
90		I took the liberty to implement the following stopgap solution:
91
92		The proc value hangs on to the most recently created stream(s).
93		Reap closes those.  If either or both of the two streams hadn't
94		been created at all yet, then reap will close the corresponding
95		file descriptors directly.
96
97		PS: I don't understand the original space leak argument anymore.  If
98		a proc hangs on to the imperative stream, then I/O operations on those
99		will advance the state of the cached stream and avoid the space leak.
