Node:3.8.6 Changes, Next:3.8.7 Changes, Previous:3.8.5 Changes, Up:Revision history
Version 3.8.6 is mainly a bugfix release. New features:
SP_atom
documented as a data type.
library(jasper)
and Java foreign resources now
support null object references.
See Jasper Library Predicates.
library(jasper)
now works with JDK 1.3 (with some restrictions)
and JDK 1.3.1 as well as JDK 1.2.2. See Supported Java Versions.
InstallSICStus
should now understand TclPro directory structure when
configuring Tcl/Tk.
Bug fixes:
splfr
code generation bug for [-term]
and +boolean
.
spld --sicstus=<PATH>
now works. You are unlikely to need it
though.
library(jasper)
.
SPTerm.delete()
sometimes did not enable reuse of the
deleted SP_term_ref.
java
is the main
application, Java tries to do use_module(library(jasper))
, the
short pathname of the SICStus Prolog\bin
folder is on the
PATH
environment variable. As a work-around for the underlying
Win32 LoadLibrary
bug SICStus will now always use the long
pathname when loading foreign resources.
"Exception: 0xc000008e
(EXCEPTION_FLT_DIVIDE_BY_ZERO)"
. This also happened for some
applications that use Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) with the
SICStus Visual Basic module (vbsp.dll). A thorough discussion of this
issue and a solution is available in
library/vbsp/sp_fpwrap.h
. This solution is now used by the
SICStus Visual Basic module. We have had reports of this issue affecting
FileMaker, Rational Rose and Visio.
library(bdb)
now complains if run with a different version of
Berkeley DB than what was used for building it (BDB 2.7.7).
malloc()
for memory allocation when invoking SICStus
from Java, also on Linux. The default memory allocation method (using
sbrk
/brk
) is not thread safe on any platform.
.po
files and saved-states: work around GCC bug
affecting endianness conversion.
seek/4
.
dif/2
and friends: memory management bug.
format/[2,3]
: avoid spurious time-out exceptions.
freeze(V,V)
behavior bug.
number_chars/2, number_codes/2
: bug affecting empty lists.
library(bdb)
now verifies that BDB version 2.7.7 is used.
library(clpfd)
: missing distribution files; buggy action handling
of user-defined global constraints; wrong answers in
disjoint1/[1,2]
, disjoint2/[1,2]
, serialized/[2,3]
,
and cumulative/[4,5]
; integer overflow checks; error detection in
FD set operations; complexity of fd_closure/2
and
fd_copy_term/3
; entailment action in element/3
.
library(clpq,clpr)
: bug affecting bb_inf/3
and strict inequalities.
library(jasper)
now enforces the use of malloc
for
memory management, also on Linux.
sockets:socket_buffering/4
: bug handling 3rd arg.
library(tcltk)
: some demos depended on current working directory.
library(xref)
: handling of catch/3
.
