In this commit, we convert FreeBSD and OpenBSD to use a system version
of TCL (8.6).
We also get rid of the hairy and buggy "CompareI18NStrings" custom Tcl
function and use the newer Tcl's builtin dictionary sort mechanism for
generating the Indexes and Glossaries, which were silently broken in
previous commits.
It was just not possible to use the same Tcl code in modern versions
of Tcl in addition to the ancient version included with CDE - so, now
we will always depend on the system version. It's been tested with
8.6 and 8.7 versions of Tcl with great results.
dtdocbook/instant has been modified to use a more modern Tcl (8.6),
which means certain functions are not present when we are using the
dtdocbook/tcl (7.5) version of tcl instead of a modern system version.
So, create some defines that should work around this problem.
One issue that came up was attempting to read array values indexed by
a key that didn't exist when generating indexes and glossaries.
I am not sure why this hasn't been a problem before, but for now, we
simply won't try to emit array values for non-existant array indexes.
On some systems with libtcl installed, it might be linked into instant
rather than the locally provided version. This can result in random
coredumps.
Seen on Ubuntu 12.04, x86_64.
Now, we force linking with ../tcl/libtcl.a.
On OpenBSD, the 'S' option to malloc(3) enables guard pages (among other
things). This loop could have triggered this trap when reading beyond the
buffer. Also, the whole "while(*ip)" construct was based on the assumption that
the memory after the string is always zero-filled.
instant should fail if the locale xlation db cannot be opened.
The reason this was failing was because the locale translation DB for
linux did not exist (Linux.lcx). I didn't add it until weeks/months
later :)
There needs to be one for each platform called "$(uname -s).lcx".
FreeBSD will need one too.
Added proper SharedDtSvcReqs in lnxLib.tmpl and CplusplusLibC in
linux.cf. This allows the libstdc++ dependancy to be properly
declared for libDtSvc so that it is not neccessary to hardcode 'CCLINK
= g++' in the Imakefiles of programs linking angainst libDtSvc.
