| [[3.1.18] [ |
| |
| After years of bjam developments.. This is going to be the last unbundled release of the |
| 3.1.x series. From this point forward bjam will only be bundled as part of the larger |
| Boost Build system. And hence will likely change name at some point. As a side effect |
| of this move people will get more frequent release of bjam (or whatever it ends up being |
| called). |
| |
| [list |
| [li New built-ins, MD5, SPLIT_BY_CHARACTERS, PRECIOUS, PAD, FILE_OPEN, and UPDATE_NOW. |

| [[3.1.17] [ |
| |
| A year in the making this release has many stability improvements and various performance |
| improvements. And because of the efforts of Jurko the code is considerably more readable! |
| |
| [list |
| [li Reflect the results of calling bjam from Python. |
| -- ['Rene R.] |
| ] |
| [li For building on Windows: Rework how arguments are parsed and tested to fix handling |
| of quoted arguments, options arguments, and arguments with "=". |
| -- ['Rene R.] |
| ] |
| [li Try to work around at least one compiler bug with GCC and variable aliasing that |
| causes crashes with hashing file cache entries. |
| -- ['Rene R.] |
| ] |
| [li Add -Wc,-fno-strict-aliasing for QCC/QNX to avoid the same aliasing crashes as in |
| the general GCC 4.x series (thanks to Niklas Angare for the fix). |
| -- ['Rene R.] |
| ] |
| [li On Windows let the child bjam commands inherit stdin, as some commands assume |
| it's available. |
| -- ['Rene R.] |
| ] |
| [li On Windows don't limit bjam output to ASCII as some tools output characters in |
| extended character sets. |
| -- ['Rene R.] |
| ] |
| [li Isolate running of bjam tests to individual bjam instances to prevent possible |
| spillover errors from one test affecting another test. Separate the bjam used to run |
| the tests vs. the bjam being tested. And add automatic re-building of the bjam being |
| tested. |
| -- ['Rene R.] |
| ] |
| [li Fix some possible overrun issues revealed by Fortify build. Thanks to Steven Robbins |
| for pointing out the issues. |
| -- ['Rene R.] |
| ] |
| [li Handle \\n and \\r escape sequences. |
| -- ['Vladimir P.] |
| ] |
| [li Minor edits to remove -Wall warnings. |
| -- ['Rene R.] |
| ] |
| [li Dynamically adjust pwd buffer query size to allow for when PATH_MAX is default |
| defined instead of being provided by the system C library. |
| -- ['Rene R.] |
| ] |
| [li Minor perf improvement for bjam by replacing hash function with faster version. Only |
| 1% diff for Boost tree. |
| -- ['Rene R.] |
| ] |
| [li Updated Boost Jam's error location reporting when parsing Jamfiles. Now it reports |
| the correct error location information when encountering an unexpected EOF. It now |
| also reports where an invalid lexical token being read started instead of finished |
| which makes it much easier to find errors like unclosed quotes or curly braces. |
| -- ['Jurko G.] |
| ] |
| [li Removed the -xarch=generic architecture from build.jam |
| as this option is unknown so the Sun compilers on Linux. |
| -- ['Noel B.] |
| ] |
| [li Fixed a bug with T_FATE_ISTMP getting reported as T_FATE_ISTMP & T_FATE_NEEDTMP at |
| the same time due to a missing break in a switch statement. |
| -- ['Jurko G.] |
| ] |
| [li Fixed a Boost Jam bug causing it to sometimes trigger actions depending on targets |
| that have not been built yet. |
| -- ['Jurko G.] |
| ] |
| [li Added missing documentation for Boost Jam's :T variable expansion modifier which |
| converts all back-slashes ('\\') to forward slashed ('/'). |
| -- ['Jurko G.] |
| ] |
| [li Added Boost Jam support for executing command lines longer than 2047 characters (up |
| to 8191) characters when running on Windows XP or later OS version. |
| -- ['Jurko G.] |
| ] |
| [li Fixed a Boost Jam bug on Windows causing its SHELL command not to work correctly with |
| some commands containing quotes. |
| -- ['Jurko G.] |
| ] |
| [li Corrected a potential memory leak in Boost Jam's builtin_shell() function that would |
| appear should Boost Jam ever start to release its allocated string objects. |
| -- ['Jurko G.] |
| ] |
| [li Made all Boost Jam's ECHO commands automatically flush the standard output to make |
| that output more promptly displayed to the user. |
| -- ['Jurko G.] |
| ] |
| [li Made Boost Jam tests quote their bjam executable name when calling it allowing those |
| executables to contain spaces in their name and/or path. |
| -- ['Jurko G.] |
| ] |
| [li Change execunix.c to always use fork() instead of |
| vfork() on the Mac. This works around known issues |
| with bjam on PPC under Tiger and a problem reported |
| by Rene with bjam on x86 under Leopard. |
| -- ['Noel B.] |
| ] |
| [li Corrected a bug in Boost Jam's base Jambase script causing it to trim the error |
| message displayed when its boost-build rule gets called multiple times. |
| -- ['Jurko G.] |
| ] |
| [li When importing from Python into an module with empty string as name, |
| import into root module. |
| -- ['Vladimir P.] |
| ] |
| [li Patch for the NORMALIZE_PATH builtin Boost Jam rule as well as an appropriate update |
| for the path.jam Boost Build module where that rule was being used to implement path |
| join and related operations. |
| -- ['Jurko G.] |
| ] |
| [li Fixed a bug causing Boost Jam not to handle target file names specified as both short |
| and long file names correctly. |
| -- ['Jurko G.] |
| ] |
| [li Relaxed test, ignoring case of drive letter. |
| -- ['Roland S.] |
| ] |
| [li Implemented a patch contributed by Igor Nazarenko reimplementing the list_sort() |
| function to use a C qsort() function instead of a hand-crafted merge-sort algorithm. |
| Makes some list sortings (e.g. 1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2, \.\.\.) extremely faster, in turn |
| significantly speeding up some project builds. |
| -- ['Jurko G.] |
| ] |
| [li Fixed a bug with bjam not handling the '\' root Windows path correctly without its |
| drive letter being specified. |
| -- ['Jurko G.] |
| ] |
| [li Solved the problem with child process returning the value 259 (Windows constant |
| STILL_ACTIVE) causing bjam never to detect that it exited and therefore keep running |
| in an endless loop. |
| -- ['Jurko G.] |
| ] |
| [li Solved the problem with bjam going into an active wait state, hogging up processor |
| resources, when waiting for one of its child processes to terminate while not all of |
| its available child process slots are being used. |
| -- ['Jurko G.] |
| ] |
| [li Solved a race condition between bjam's output reading/child process termination |
| detection and the child process's output generation/termination which could have |
| caused bjam not to collect the terminated process's final output. |
| -- ['Jurko G.] |
| ] |
| [li Change from vfork to fork for executing actions on Darwin to improve stability. |
| -- ['Noel B.] |
| ] |
| [li Code reformatting and cleanups. |
| -- ['Jurko G.] |

| [li Add [^OSPLAT=PARISC] for HP-UX PA-RISC. |

| [li Make quietly actions really quiet by not printing the command output. The |
| output for the quietly actions is still available through =__ACTION_RULE__=. |
| -- ['Rene R.] |

| [li Switch intel-win32 to use static multi thread runtime since the single |
| thread static runtime is no longer available. |
| -- ['Rene R.] |
| ] |
| [li When setting =OSPLAT=, check =__ia64= macro. |
| -- ['Boris G.] |
| ] |
| [li Get the unix timing working correctly. |
| -- ['Noel B.] |
| ] |
| [li Add =-fno-strict-aliasing= to compilation with gcc. Which works around |
| GCC-4.2 crash problems. |
| -- ['Boris G.] |
| ] |
| [li Increased support for Python integration. |
| -- ['Vladimir P.], ['Daniel W.] |

| [li Allow specifying options with quotes, i.e. [^--with-python=xyz], to work |
| around the CMD shell using [^=] as an argument separator. |
| -- ['Rene R.] |

| [li Add values of variables specified with -s to .EVNRION |

| [[3.1.15] [ |
| |
| This release sees a variety of fixes for long standing Perforce/Jam problems. Most of |
| them relating to running actions in parallel with the -jN option. The end result of the |
| changes is that running parallel actions is now reliably possible in Unix and Windows |
| environments. Many thanks to Noel for joining the effort, to implement and fix the Unix |
| side of stuff. |
| |
| [list |
| [li Add support for building bjam with pgi and pathscale toolsets. |
| -- ['Noel B.] |
| ] |
| [li Implement running action commands through pipes (-p option) to fix jumbled |
| output when using parallel execution with -j option. This is implemented |
| for Unix variants, and Windows (Win32/NT). |
| -- ['Rene R.], ['Noel B.] |
| ] |
| [li Add "sun" as alias to Sun Workshop compiler tools. |
| -- ['Rene R.] |
| ] |
| [li Set MAXLINE in jam.h to 23k bytes for AIX. The piecemeal archive action |
| was broken with the default MAXLINE of 102400. Because the AIX shell uses |
| some of the 24k default buffer size for its own use, I reduced it to 23k. |
| -- ['Noel B.] |
| ] |
| [li Make use of output dir options of msvc to not polute src dir with compiled files. |
| -- ['Rene R.] |
| ] |
| [li A small fix, so -d+2 will always show the "real" commands being executed |
| instead of casually the name of a temporary batch file. |
| -- ['Roland S.] |
| ] |
| [li Add test to check 'bjam -n'. |
| -- ['Rene R.] |
| ] |
| [li Add test to check 'bjam -d2'. |
| -- ['Rene R.] |
| ] |
| [li Bring back missing output of -n option. The -o option continues to be |
| broken as it has been for a long time now because of the @ file feature. |
| -- ['Rene R.] |
| ] |
| [li Update GC support to work with Boehm GC 7.0. |
| -- ['Rene R.] |
| ] |
| [li Revert the BOOST_BUILD_PATH change, since the directory passed to |
| boost-build should be first in searched paths, else project local |
| build system will not be picked correctly. The order had been changed to |
| allow searching of alternate user-config.jam files from boost build. This |
| better should be done with --user-config= switch or similar. |
| -- ['Roland S.] |
| ] |
| [li Initial support for defining action body from Python. |
| -- ['Vladimir P.] |
| ] |
| [li Implement @() expansion during parse phase. |
| -- ['Rene R.] |
| ] |
| [li Define OSPLAT var unconditionally, and more generically, when possible. |
| -- ['Rene R.] |
| ] |
| [li Fix undeclared INT_MAX on some platforms, i.e. Linux. |
| -- ['Rene R.] |
| ] |
| [li Modified execunix.c to add support for terminating |
| processes that consume too much cpu or that hang and |
| fail to consume cpu at all. This in support of the |
| bjam -lx option. |
| -- ['Noel B.] |
| ] |
| [li Add internal dependencies for multi-file generating actions to indicate |
| that the targets all only appear when the first target appears. This fixes |
| the long standing problem Perforce/Jam has with multi-file actions and |
| parallel execution (-jN). |
| -- ['Rene R.] |

| [li Add test of -l limit option now that it's implemented on windows and unix. |
| -- ['Rene R.] |

| [li Add test for no-op @() expansion. |
| -- ['Rene R.] |
| ] |
| [li Handle invalid formats of @() as doing a straight substitution instead of |
| erroring out. |
