Coherent Logic Development - Issues

0000033: Destructor calls seem to prevent some extrinsic function calls from working

Sat, 12 Apr 2025 09:58:12 -0600

This causes user-defined ISVs to fail.

0000029: User-defined ISVs are broken

Sat, 12 Apr 2025 09:57:45 -0600

Seems to be a regression involving OO.

0000032: Add an OS/2 RPM

Fri, 11 Apr 2025 14:34:44 -0600

Need to figure this out.

0000031: Fix fork calls to work on OS/2

Fri, 11 Apr 2025 14:33:31 -0600

There is apparently fork support in the EMX layer. Need to figure out the correct linker incantation to enable for both the daemon and the JOB command.

0000028: Need to re-enable constructors

Wed, 09 Apr 2025 13:44:41 -0600

They are commented out in objects.c

0000025: Create length-checked versions of all strings.c functions that don't have them

Wed, 09 Apr 2025 09:20:33 -0600

We already have `stnlen` and a few others, but we need to create them for all.

Then, replace all uses of the unchecked versions.

0000009: Move TP, journaling, and naked indicator processing into global dispatch code

Sat, 05 Apr 2025 20:07:07 -0600

This will enable these features to work with any global handler in a GUMP-like architecture.

0000019: Prevent illegal characters in global data

Fri, 04 Apr 2025 21:17:41 -0600

Need to consult with dlw about this

0000023: Intermittent segfault when fmadm started without correct group membership

Fri, 04 Apr 2025 08:55:24 -0600

* Need to validate correct group membership on fmadm start

0000022: Consolidate package building and other dev scripts

Fri, 04 Apr 2025 08:50:32 -0600

* Move Debian, Red Hat, and Solaris packaging stuff into a new subdirectory
* Add a single command for all dev things
* Make a commit script that will update ChangeLog
* Add a way to correctly update the Debian packaging ChangeLog
* Make packaging script syntax as consistent as possible across platforms

0000020: Finish fmadm edit

Sun, 30 Mar 2025 09:57:05 -0600

Need to completely grok the global structure as explained by dlw and get this all ironed out

0000018: Review manual

Fri, 28 Mar 2025 07:21:20 -0600

Review the entire FreeM manual as it exists and correct the many small errors found within.

0000001: Add support for objects created in globals

Fri, 28 Mar 2025 07:16:58 -0600

Will need a way to embed object metadata into the globals themselves (possibly using a node name that is illegal in M code). Note that like local objects, you will only be able to instantiate global objects for an entire global (aka the root node).

0000003: Fix standard error handling

Fri, 28 Mar 2025 07:16:32 -0600

Need to make sure $STACK is correct and that $ETRAP is solid. This should be easier once we finish replacing direct access to ierr with function calls to merr_raise and merr, this should be easier, as the values for the $STACK pseudo-function should be able to be populated in merr_raise, based on the nstx stack index, rather than being populated unreliably in other scattered locations in the FreeM codebase.

0000008: MWAPI Implementation

Fri, 28 Mar 2025 07:16:07 -0600

Implement MWAPI using the Motif widget set.

0000004: Integrate grestore functionality into fmadm

Fri, 28 Mar 2025 07:09:05 -0600

Need to make fmadm repair global work in fmadm. The repair functionality is currently in grestore.c, but it will need to be refactored into a function in fma_globals.c. The functionality of this one is currently all in the main function, so we'll need to figure out how to split out argument parsing logic from actual global repair.

Also, the existing utility does not repair a global in-place, and instead will apply repairs to a brand-new global database file, so this really must require the user to put FreeM into maintenance mode before proceeding.

0000006: Implement default values for certain SSVNs

Fri, 28 Mar 2025 07:08:49 -0600

Need to be able to define SSVN references with a corresponding default value, as KILLing certain MWAPI nodes in ^$WINDOW is supposed to restore the default attribute instead of making the node undefined. KILL will need a way to trigger this, as well as KVALUE. May be best handled in symtab(), as thus far, only process-private SSVNs have this requirement.

0000010: Implement exclusive and argumentless forms of KVALUE

Fri, 28 Mar 2025 07:08:06 -0600

Currently, only inclusive KVALUE is implemented.

0000002: Extend symbol table string length

Fri, 28 Mar 2025 07:07:49 -0600

Should change the length prefixes from one byte to 4 bytes, the low-order 3 bytes to be used for the length, and the high-order byte used for future flags.

This will increase maximum string length in local variables from 255 bytes to 16MiB.

0000015: Update NetBSD package to handle init changes and user/group creation

Fri, 28 Mar 2025 07:05:36 -0600

Will need to study the NetBSD pkgsrc Developer's Guide and related docs for this:
