Date:     13 Mar 89                             Message No:     023
 
To:       TeX implementors and distributors
 
From:     Barbara Beeton
 
Subject:  Updates to TEX82.BUG, MF84.BUG
 
 
The last message was sent to this list two months ago, and though some
additional activity has occurred, I've been delayed in reporting it.
In fact, I'm not sure that what is included here is the latest news,
not having seen my paper mail for more than a week, and Don Knuth is no
longer corresponding with anyone electronically.  (I'm preparing this
message from home, having returned from a standards meeting accompanied
by a cold germ.)
 
When last I heard from Don, he reported that though a few "trivial" (his
word) bugs had been detected, there was nothing he considered serious
enough to delay his release of TeX 3.0 on the Ides of March -- two days
hence.  So, barring the discovery of something of which I'm not aware, I
expect that by the end of this week there will be a new version of TEX.MF
at labrea, with a few inconsequential changes from version 2.993.  I will
try to send the information as soon as possible, but I am facing a couple
of deadlines at the Math Society, and for the next week I have promised
to go into seclusion (the AMS thinks it's a vacation) to help prepare the
data for a 10-volume index to TUGboat.
 
Enclosed are updates to the files TEX82.BUG and MF84.BUG.  Owing to the
quantity of this material and the proximity of the Ides of March, lists
of differences between the new and old WEB files will be sent separately.

Combine modules 868 and 869 into a single module, with a semicolon between.
@x module 870 (which becomes module 869) gets ... in its title
@y and the following new code just before its final "end":
r:=replace_count(cur_p); s:=link(cur_p);
while r>0 do
  begin @<Add the width of node |s| to |act_width|@>;
  decr(r); s:=link(s);
  end;

@x Now module 871 becomes 870, and we add a new (very similar) module 871:

  begin f:=font(s);
  act_width:=act_width+char_width(f)(char_info(f)(character(s)));

  ligature_node: begin f:=font(lig_char(s));

      char_width(f)(char_info(f)(character(lig_char(s))));

377. Pick up a few discretionary hyphens that were lost because of
the new (cautious) algorithm.
@x module 914

    end
 
@<Create and append a discretionary node as an alternative...@>=
begin r:=get_node(small_node_size);
@y
@ In this repeat loop we will insert another discretionary if |hyf[j-1]| is
odd, after both branches of the previous discretionary end at position |j-1|.
Strictly speaking, we aren't justified in doing this, because we don't know
that a hyphen after |j-1| is truly independent of those branches. But in almost
all applications we would rather not lose a potentially valuable hyphenation
point. (Consider the word `difficult', where the letter `c' is in position |j|.)
 
@d advance_major_tail==begin major_tail:=link(major_tail); incr(r_count);
    end
 
@<Create and append a discretionary node as an alternative...@>=
repeat r:=get_node(small_node_size);

hyphen_passed:=j-1; link(hold_head):=null;
until not odd(hyf[j-1])

378. Undumped trie must also be dumpable again (Breitenlohner, 11 Dec 89)

for k:=0 to j do undump_hh(trie[k]);
undump_size(0)(trie_op_size)('trie op size')(j); {|trie_op_ptr|}
@y

for k:=0 to j do undump_hh(trie[k]);
undump_size(0)(trie_op_size)('trie op size')(j); @+init trie_op_ptr:=j;@+tini
@z
@x ibid
k:=256;
while j>0 do
  begin undump(0)(k-1)(k); undump(1)(j)(x); j:=j-x; op_start[k]:=qo(j);
@y
init for k:=0 to 255 do trie_used[k]:=min_quarterword;@+tini
k:=256;

  begin undump(0)(k-1)(k); undump(1)(j)(x);@+init trie_used[k]:=qi(x);@+tini
  j:=j-x; op_start[k]:=qo(j);
@z
 
379. Allow output routine to access page totals. (Suggested by Frank
Mittelbach and Chris Rowley, December 1989)
@x module 421

Updates to MF84.BUG
 
% The following text has been added at the top of the file; the last
% two lines of this block correspond to the first two lines of the
% old file, with some changes.
 
This file has been updated periodically ever since METAFONT84 was born.
What you are about to read is "authentic source material" from the
early days before the program converged. Module numbers on the first
entries may bear little relation to those in Volume D.
 
Entries are in chronological order; thus the most recent news appears
at the bottom of the file.

% modules 1137&1138 are combined into a single module
% and so are modules 1140--1141, to make room for two new modules.
@x module 1136 is moved to after old module 1141
@y and changed to the following code:
@ @<Log the subfile sizes of the \.{TFM} file@>=
if bch_label<undefined_label then decr(nl);
wlog_ln('(You used ',nw:1,'w,',@| nh:1,'h,',@| nd:1,'d,',@| ni:1,'i,',@|
 nl:1,'l,',@| nk:1,'k,',@| ne:1,'e,',@|
 np:1,'p metric file positions');
wlog_ln('  out of ',@| '256w,16h,16d,64i,',@|
 lig_table_size:1,'l,',max_kerns:1,'k,256e,',@|
 max_font_dimen:1,'p)');
end
@z
@x module 1139 is completely replaced
@y by the following three modules:
@ We need to output special instructions at the beginning of the
|lig_kern| array in order to specify the right boundary character
and/or to handle starting addresses that exceed 255. The |label_loc|
and |label_char| arrays have been set up to record all the
starting addesses; we have $-1=|label_loc|[0]<|label_loc|[1]\le\cdots
\le|label_loc|[|label_ptr]|$.
 
@<Compute the ligature/kern program offset...@>=
bchar:=round_unscaled(internal[boundary_char]);

@<Find the minimum |lk_offset| and adjust all remainders@>;
if bch_label<undefined_label then
  begin skip_byte(nl):=qi(255); next_char(nl):=qi(0);
  op_byte(nl):=qi(((bch_label+lk_offset)div 256));
  rem_byte(nl):=qi(((bch_label+lk_offset)mod 256));
  incr(nl); {possibly |nl=lig_table_size+1|}
  end
 
@ @<Find the minimum |lk_offset|...@>=
k:=label_ptr; {pointer to the largest unallocated label}
if label_loc[k]+lk_offset>255 then
  begin lk_offset:=0; lk_started:=false; {location 0 can do double duty}
  repeat char_remainder[label_char[k]]:=lk_offset;
  while label_loc[k-1]=label_loc[k] do
    begin decr(k); char_remainder[label_char[k]]:=lk_offset;
    end;
  incr(lk_offset); decr(k);
  until lk_offset+label_loc[k]<256;
    {N.B.: |lk_offset=256| satisfies this when |k=0|}
  end;

    begin char_remainder[label_char[k]]
     :=char_remainder[label_char[k]]+lk_offset;
    decr(k);

@z
@x module 1205 gets a new declaration
@y
@!lk_offset:0..256; {extra words inserted at beginning of |lig_kern| array}
@z
 
552. Improved the covering/shortening routines. (18 Dec 89)
@x module 1119 gets a new global variable
@y
@!excess:halfword; {the list is this much too long}
@z
@x module 1120 gives it a value
begin if min_cover(0)<=m then threshold:=0
@y
begin excess:=min_cover(0)-m;
if excess<=0 then threshold:=0
@z
@x and module 1122 uses it
begin repeat p:=link(p); info(p):=m;
@y
begin repeat p:=link(p); info(p):=m;
decr(excess);@+if excess=0 then d:=0;
@z
@x and module 1122 also avoids overflow/ambiguous halving
v:=half(l+value(p));
@y
v:=l+half(value(p)-l);
@z
 
553. (Change made by Joe Weening as per message from DEK.)
@x module 1119
@!excess:halfword; {the list is this much too long}
@y
@!excess:integer; {the list is this much too long}
@z
 
554. (I sincerely hope that there won't be any more)
