Post subject: | FreeM |
Hello, MUMPSters! Just wanted to give an update on what's been happening in FreeM-land. I have the following bugs fixed:
Most segfaults on NEW have been eliminated Terminal I/O problems with large terminals are greatly reduced, and seem mostly to happen on Linux systems The following new features have been introduced: We have a framework for recoverable database journaling in place. Transaction processing is partially implemented, to the extent that current journaling facilities allow. FreeM routines may now be used as UNIX/Linux shell scripts by placing a #! line at the top of a routine. The structures and code are now in-place to support SSVNs, and ^$JOB has been implemented, to include several extensions from the Millennium Draft Standard, including stopping other FreeM jobs by KILLing their ^$JOB node. The FreeM direct-mode prompt now supports command-line history and command recall through GNU readline. This history persists across FreeM sessions. The FreeM direct-mode prompt now allows direct entry and immediate evaluation of MUMPS expressions, turning it into a full-featured REPL. Support for the MERGE command, absent in the original FreeM, is well underway. We have a TeX manual in the works, which builds into texinfo online documentation that can be accessed from FreeM direct mode by typing ? at the prompt. We fully support multiple namespaces, each with their own unique collections of routines and globals. % routines and globals go into the SYSTEM namespace by default. Namespaces are configured in /etc/freem.conf. We now have a shared library which provides a C/C++ binding interface to FreeM, including full access to the database, transaction processing, and MUMPS extrinsic functions and subroutines. This library is easy to use, and supports all familiar operations, e.g., get, set, kill, lock, unlock, data, order, query. We have moved to GNU Autotools for our build system, which allows FreeM to be quickly and easily built and installed on most UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems. FreeM builds and runs correctly on the following platforms:
Ubuntu Linux on amd64 Ubuntu Linux on IBM System/390 and Z Oracle Solaris 11.3 on sparc64 (sun4v) SCO OpenServer 5.0.7 on i386 NetBSD 9.0 on amd64 NetBSD 9.0 on vax FreeBSD 12.1 on amd64 OpenBSD 6.6 on amd64 Debian GNU/HURD 0.9 on i386 macOS Mojave on amd64 In addition:
Jim Stefanik is working on ports to IBM AIX on POWER and z/OS on System/390 Ports to Raspbian, SGI IRIX, HP-UX, Cygwin, OpenVMS, BeOS, AmigaOS, and OS/2 are under investigation Please feel free to check out our home page at https://freem.coherent-logic.com for more information! |
