Discussion of these changes can be found on the Mercury developers
mailing list archives from June 2018.
COPYING.LIB:
Add a special linking exception to the LGPL.
*:
Update references to COPYING.LIB.
Clean up some minor errors that have accumulated in copyright
messages.
runtime/*.[ch]:
trace/*.[chyl]:
As above. In some places, improve comments, e.g. by expanding contractions
such as "we've". Add #ifndef guards against double inclusion around
the trace/*.h files that did not already have them.
tools/*:
Make the corresponding changes in shell scripts that generate .[ch] files
in the runtime.
tests/*:
Conform to a slight change in the text of a message.
Move all .h and .c files to four-space indentation without tabs,
if they weren't there already.
Use the same vim line for all .h and .c files.
Align all backslashes at the ends of lines in macro definitions.
Align close comment signs.
In some places, fix inconsistent indentation.
Fix a bunch of comments. Add XXXs to a few of them.
Add MR_strerror as a thread-safe alternative to strerror.
The current implementation wraps strerror_r(), strerror_s()
or sys_errlist as appropriate for the platform. Bug #340.
configure.ac:
runtime/mercury_conf.h.in:
Check for strerror_r, strerror_s.
Delete irrelevant code in the sockets test for the external debugger.
runtime/mercury_runtime_util.c:
runtime/mercury_runtime_util.h:
Add MR_strerror and use it.
library/io.m:
Use MR_strerror. In particular, mercury_output_error was not
thread-safe.
Pass errno to mercury_output_error explicitly for clarity.
Delete req_lock parameter in ML_maybe_make_err_msg macro which is not
needed any more.

trace/mercury_trace_external.c:
trace/mercury_trace_internal.c:
Use MR_strerror.

Use MR_strerror.

Get the sytem building under mingw and cygwin.
README.MinGW:
Document the new packages you need to install for the
system to build.
configure.in:

Test for the presence of the setenv and putenv functions.
configure.in:
Comment out some code which breaks with autoconf 2.60.
runtime/mercury_runtime_util.c:
runtime/mercury_runtime_util.h:
Add MR_setenv which is an implementation of setenv in terms
of either setenv or putenv.
runtime/mercury_trace_base.c:
Call MR_setenv.
trace/Mmakefile:
Mingw and cygwin only have flex 2.5.4 available, so use
the options compatible with that version.

Branches: main
Add MR_ prefixes to uses of configuration macros.
Bootcheck now succeeds with MR_NO_CONF_BACKWARDS_COMPAT.
Mmake.common.in:
Define MR_NO_CONF_BACKWARDS_COMPAT when checking
for namespace cleanliness.
RESERVED_MACRO_NAMES:
Remove the configuration macros.
runtime/mercury_conf_bootstrap.h:

runtime/mercury_runtime_util.[ch]:
New module for utility functions. Contains the checked versions of
fopen, fclose, atexit which used to be static in mercury_prof.c,
and the backup version of strerror which used to be in
mercury_strerror.c.
runtime/mercury_strerror.[ch]:
Deleted this now obsolete module.
runtime/mercury_prof.c:
runtime/Mmakefile:
Mention the new module and delete references to the deleted module.
