  • fix an integer overflow occurring when a tag has too many fields.

    The original issue was reported by Arthur Chan arthur.chan@adalogics.com from Ada Logics in collaboration with Claude and Anthropic Research.

Version 0.4.0

Version 0.3.0

  • fix calls to ctype functions (Colomban Wendling ban@herbesfolles.org)

  • read input fields, values at the second column in a tag file, with unescaping if !_TAG_OUTPUT_MODE is "u-ctags" and !_TAG_OUTPUT_FILESEP is "slash" in the tag file.

  • LT_VERSION 2:2:1

    • no change in public interface

Version 0.2.1

  • use "m" mode flag of fopen only when compiling with glibc 2.3 or higher.

  • LT_VERSION 2:1:1

    • no change in public interface

Version 0.2.0

  • delete debug output automatically printed when DEBUG is defiend in build-time.

  • fix potential crashes trigged when passing NULL as file parameter to the API functions. Provided by rootkea (GitHub account).

  • add a new error constant TagErrnoFileMaybeTooBig to represent the case that the given tags file is too large for the platform APIs (ftell and fseek) used in libreadtags. See #36 about the background of this change.

  • allow the library to read larger (> 2G) tag files on Win32 platform. The tag file size was limited to 2G on the platform because the library used fseek and ftell. In this version, they are replaced with _fseeki64 and _ftelli64.

  • add a new API function (tagsFindPseudoTag) for finding a pseudo tag for given name.

  • Use mmap(2) when opening a tags file if fopen() supports "m" mode flag.

  • LT_VERSION 2:0:1

    • extend the API

      • add a constant: TagErrnoFileMaybeTooBig
      • add a function: tagsFindPseudoTag

Version 0.1.0

  • propagate internal errors to caller

  • LT_VERSION 1:0:0

    • extend the API for the error propagation

      • add tagsGetErrno function
      • add tagErrno eum type

    • break the API

      • rename sortType to tagSortType for avoiding name conflictions However, sortType is still defined as a macro. See readtags.h
