There are now separate filters for developer and normal messages. The command line parser was extended accordingly, so you can write, e.g., --msg-hide=devel-info.
The debug function err_flush_buffers() was made extern. ONLY use it for debugging!
the err_position stuff now uses reference counting so that there is much less copying when such objects are passed around
the ERR_MODULE_TOKEN is now translated to with err_group() via a cache so that the C_TAG_... macros are much faster when ERR_MODULES_TOKEN is used.
when everything is broken and nothing is printed, you can use the env. variable MSG_FORCE_FPRINTF to force the library to simply invoke fprintf.
a typo was fixed so that 'never' is now recognised on the cmd line
warnings fixed for newer gcc
free more memory (filtering and stream handling)
exported the argument and environment parser:
added err_location_copy() and err_location_delete() for C programmers
added err_group_set_prefix() and err_group_get_prefix(). The programmer can set a prefix to print for all messages of a certain group.
switch to version numbers using svn revision
add debian package support
added support for XML report files
fixed compilation for newer gccs
- Made compiling under Linux a bit faster for tar.bz2 version. It did some unnecessary remakes (it still does, but less).
Additional to --msg-crash, which generates an artificial SIGSEGV, I also added:
| -msg-assert0 | raises an artificial assertion (for testing whether the binary includes assertions, i.e, was compiled with -DNDEBUG). | ||
| -msg-forever | starts an endless loop until you attach to the binary from a debugger and 'set err_continue=1' |
fixed building of the source package so that all files are included for out-of-the-box Windows compilation. For compilation and installation, type:
nmake -f nmakefile nmake -f nmakefile install
The default installation prefix is E:\WINNT. To change, use:
make -f nmakefile WIN_PREFIX=blahblah install
The assert() macro in error/assert.h was fixed to work for nested asserts
- Bug fix for --err-{hide,suppress}-{subsystem,group} for multiple comma-separated values. The bug lead to in infinite loop consuming memory and eventually this lead to a crash.
Bug fix in Erwin (err_v_char.cpp would not compile on some systems).
Bug in usage of 'which' in 'makeerwin', which breaks the script in some shells (notably BSD).
While fixing the above bug, it was noticed that 'makeerwin' is missing in the source code distro file. Added.
parseargs: add support for err_set_fatal_count()
Fixed bug so that C_TAG_PREFIX will successfully set the next_location. It was accidentally cleared right after setting it.
This also changes the semantics of a prefix: a prefix and a suffix will be kept until the user manually invokes err_prefix/suffix_erase. This was done since it is not nice when debug messages use the prefix that was meant for another message.
For compatibility reasons, the "err-" prefix is still understood. To prevent this compatibility, use
#define ERR_CUT_COMPAT ERR_BASE_VERSION(2,0)
or add a CPPFLAG:
-DERR_CUT_COMPAT='ERR_BASE_VERSION(2,0)'
The means that compatibility is supported for features introduced in versions >= 2.0.x only, i.e., no compatibility for features only found in versions < 2.0.x. (The sub-version is not included in the comparison, still the macro always takes three arguments)
This may result is smaller and faster code (though it's currently neglectible).
Fixed a bug in err_count() that led to wrong results for parameters (0,0).
Fixed some problems in the make subdir where targets depended on special tools (most of them part of Erwin).
Changed the default prefix from "err" to "msg", since we can handle messages, not only errors.
To switch back to old behaviour -- you should not do this, but in case you really want this, use:
err_set_config_prefix ("err");
This must be invoked before the call to err_init().
added a lot of documentation
added the command line tool eprintf
symbols are now installed, so the user has access to the library's symbol table by
err_string2symbol()
user can override PID now:
err_pid() err_set_pid()
- First release.
