[open-cobol-list] CVS Update 20060512

[Roger While]

CVS updated.
On the hopes that at least the SourceForge mailing list
send works.

Snapshot tarball (AKA prerelease) at :
http://www.sim-basis.de/open-cobol-0.33.tar.gz

SourceForge seem to have problems so the
mailing list archive is not being updated.
Also, CVS access has been changed (Geez)
I reproduce verbatim -
************************************************************
Summary of changes, effective 2006-05-12:
1. Hostname for CVS service
Old: cvs.sourceforge.net
New: PROJECT_UNIX_NAME.cvs.sourceforge.net
This change will require new working copies to be checked out of all
repositories (so control files in the working copy will point to the
right place). We will be updating the instructions we supply, but
instructions that your team has written within documentation, etc. will
need to be updated.
cvs -d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/gaim co gaim
would be changed to
cvs -d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/gaim co gaim
************************************************************

So, now to changes :


NOTE - Because of changes in the cob_module structure,
a complete recompile of applications is necessary.

The default when neither "-x" nor "-m" is specified is "-m".
ie. Produce a module. Warnings are still produced although
these will be removed for the release.

Do not accept 66, 88 levels on CALL params.
(Geez, ACU accepts 88)

Accept syntax CURSOR [IS] and CRT STATUS [IS]

Implement FUNCTION STORED-CHAR-LENGTH (Fujitsu)

Implement (2002) BINARY-(CHAR/SHORT/INT/LONG) [SIGNED/UNSIGNED]
Also the ACU equivalents.

Implement the TRAILING option for INSPECT
(Non-standard but isn't it a great thing to have?!)

Implement PROCEDURE DIVISION CHAINING
Parameters must be in W/S section and will be filled with
either spaces (if not specified) or the applicable command line
parameter.

Prepare syntax/exceptions for extended ACCEPT/DISPLAY
and screens.

Fix INSPECT memory bloat.

Put in OC tests for PROCEDURE DIVISION CHAINING and
INSPECT .. TRAILING

Further optimizations with 1,2,4,8 byte compare/add/subtract code.
