ChangeLog for param =================== List of TODO's as result of v2 ============ * Remove classes: StringChoiceParameter, StringChoiceListParameter * Remove enum: StringChoice, StringChoiceList * virtual bool setNewValue() should return true only, and report error if not? Version 2.15.2 - 2009-12-16 (EO) -------------- + (SPR-6573 by H. Chen) Included a missing between lines 578 and 579. Version 2.15.1 - 2009-07-02 (EO) -------------- + No changes to basic code. Changes made only to adapt code to gcc 4.X (more strict and more ANSI C compliant). Following changes were made: - src/StringLiistParameter.cc: Line 105 'strncpy'was not declared in this scope. Solve with #include - src/ParameterInfo.cc: Line 193 'getenv'was not declared in this scope. Solved with #include . - src/param_impl.cc: 86 'strncpy'was not declared in this scope. - src/param_impl.cc: 87 'memset'was not declared in this scope. Both solved with #include - test/testsetparam.cc: 68 deprecated conversion from string const to char*. Solved by adding const to char*. - test/testparamfileerror.cc: 29 ::exit has not been declared. Solved with #include - test/testparam.cc: 37 'strcmp' was not declared in this scope. Solved adding #include Version 2.15 - 2003-06-16 (GV) ------------ + Misc. fixes to make gcc-3.3 happy: include and/or proper initialization of base classes. Version 2.14 - 2003-06-13 (GV) ------------ + Add a few include where needed to make gcc-3.3 happy. Version 2.13 - 2003-03-14 (GV) ------------ + Remove occurrences of the header values.h that is obsolete and not present on Mac OS X. Version 2.12 - 2003-02-12 (JBa) ------------ implemented ParamInfoSet::saveParamInfo(ParameterInfo* info); i.e.saving of parameter files in $HOME/.sas.d/config/ Version 2.11 - 2003-02-10 (JBa) ------------ Introduced a new interface for parsing: "ParamParser". The difference with the old (now deprecated) interface "ParamInfoReader" is that it provide means to load/save a file. The old interface could only load a 'task' (and with a hack it could load a 'file'), but saving was out ofg the question... Version 2.10 - 2002-12-17 (JBa) ------------ + (./cxx/*) prefixed with std:: Version 2.9 - 2002-12-09 (GV) ----------- + (tools/listparams) new devel tool to be used in the creation of comman line completion files. Given a task name it lists all of its parameters to stdout. Version 2.8 - 2002-10-09 (JBa) ----------- + (src/Parameter.cc) small editorial change on HELP format of the constraint. + (tools/xml2xpi.cc) converter for backward compatibility. Version 2.7 - 2002-07-22 (JBa) ----------- + (src/XmlInfoReader.cc) Fixed problems with arithmetic if in GCC-3.1 + (src/*) removed usage of strstream Version 2.6 - 2002-07-16 (JBa) ----------- + Make chkdist happy Version 2.5 - 2002-06-17 (JBa) ----------- + (src/TimeFormatter.*) 'implemented decimal year number' + (hopefully) fixed static build! Version 2.4 - 2002-06-07 (JBa) ----------- + (src/ParameterInfo.cc) fixed bug in copy constructor: choices are copied over, even if a choice does not have nested parameters. Version 2.3 - 2002-06-03 (JBa) ----------- + (String*Parameter.cc) temporary workaround for problems in Evaluator::stringIdentifiers(); Version 2.2 - 2002-05-30 (JBa) ----------- + depends on selectlib Version 2.1 - 2002-05-21 (JBa) ----------- + made class ChoiceChildParameters prettier + asString() and defaultAsString() produce prettier output. Lists do not have annoying begin/end quotes Version 2.0 - 2002-04-22 (JBa) ----------- + updated user as well as developer documentation for XML usage + streamlined error messages New interface + param is using XML as file format: created tool 'xpi2xml' to do the job transparently + nested parameters allowed + implicit setting of parameters + expanded constraint checker (introduction of selectlib) Version 1.70 - 2002-01-28 (JBa) -------------- + version 1.69 found a incorrect parameter file in the test area Version 1.69 - 2002-01-28 (JBa) -------------- + resubmitted 1.68.1. Though the patch is correct, it finds so many ill-defined modes in parameter files, that we may want to post-pone the implementation. Version 1.68.1 - 2002-01-28 (JBa) -------------- + (src/XpiInfoReader.cc) Check for appropriate value of parameter mode Version 1.68 - 2001-12-19 (JBa) -------------- + Added type DirOrFile, type 'x'. This type can be used by e.g. SAS ODF: can be a file or a directory. Version 1.67 - 2001-11-19 (JBa) -------------- + ParameterInfo::asCommandLine() presents the parameters in the order as they are read. + Adopted valid test-parameter files (no uppercase parameters). This involved changing the interface for PCS mode of reading cmd-line parameters (though I do not think *anybody* is using that mode): ODF -> odf SP -> sp COEFF -> coeff CCF -> ccf + Removed obsolete tests in the 'src'-tree Version 1.66 - 2001-11-06 (JBa) -------------- + Method 'writeHelpToStream(ostream& os)' presents the parameters in the order as they are read. Note that a task may read multiple configurations. The presentation order is therefore determined by the 'first' occurence of a parameter name. Version 1.65 - 2001-09-11 (UL) ------------ + fixed minor problem with implementation of C-API function 'set_boolean_parameter' Version 1.64 - 2001-09-06 (JBa) ------------ + change behavior of 'int parameterCount(name)' This function now always returns (was: error call), but it returns '-1' in case of scalar variables + changed C-interface of 'boolean_parameter' and 'set_boolean_parameter' to work with 'int' instead of non-C 'bool' Version 1.63 - 2000-07-26 (JBa) ------------ + Added info file for meta index (SOC SPR::1981) Version 1.62 - 2000-06-14 (JBa) ------------ + Added new type DirOrDataSet for usage in e.g. SAS_CCF variable Version 1.61.1 - 2000-06-14 (JBa) ------------ + * Cosmetics on error output of 'ParamMandatory' Version 1.61 - 2000-03-28 (JBa) ------------ + * replaced old-style headers Version 1.60 - 2001-03-14 (JBa) ------------ + (src/ParameterInfo.cc) Make error-messages more noisy about missing parameters (missing from what parameter space) + (src/AngleFormatter.cc) fixes SOC-SPR 1894 * Allow '+' sign * Proper handli9ng of neagtive agles in DMS/HMS format + (src/RealListParameter.cc,src/RealParameter.cc) fixes SOC-SPR 1931 Improved precision. Allow upto 12 digits after decimal point only if necessary. Version 1.59 - 2001-02-28 (JBa) ------------ + (src/Parameter.*) fixed bug: added copy constructor! Version 1.58 - 2001-02-22 (JBa) ------------ + (src/Parameter.h) added methods to the interface to allow for multiple views + (src/Parameter.cc) implementation of the methods mentioned Version 1.57 - 2000-10-26 (JBa) ------------ + (src/Parameter.h) added public method: bool setValue(const Parameter*) + added implementation and test for the above Version 1.56 - 2000-08-14 (JBa) ------------ + (src/XpiInfoReader.cc) no silly limit on linelength Version 1.55 - 2000-08-14 (GV) ------------ + (*.par) make sure there are 6 ',' in all fields. + (*.info) add info files for each par file. Version 1.54.2 - 2000-06-23 ------------ + (src/*.cc) Fixed SPR 1610:: memory leaks in (o)strstream. Added a workaround (src/freezestream.h) + (src/*.cc) Fixed SPR 444:: more descriptive + (src/*.cc) Fixed SPR 1133:: better error msg + (src/*.cc) Fixed SPR 1134:: verbose output + (src/StringListParameter.cc) Fixed SPR 1302 + (doc/param_description.tex) Fixed SPR 1446 Version 1.54.1 - 2000-06-22 ------------ + (src/paramcc.cc) "closeParameters()" deletes current parameters from memory Version 1.54 - 2000-05-17 ------------ + (src/XpiInfoReader.cc) Sparse-Lib verbosity on which parameter file used.
