Awk interprets a special-purpose programming language to do quick and easy text pattern matching and reformatting jobs. Install the gawk package if you need a text processing utility. Gawk is considered to be a standard Linux tool for processing text. Changes from 5.2.0 to 5.2.1 --------------------------- 1. More subtle issues with untyped array elements being passed to functions have been fixed. 2. The rwarray extension's readall() function has had some bugs fixed. 3. The PMA allocator is now supported on Linux on s/390, FreeBSD and OpenBSD. It is currently disabled on macos on M1 since there are some unsolved problems in that environment. macos on Intel works without problem. 4. There have been several minor code cleanups and bug fixes. See the ChangeLog for details. Changes from 5.1.x to 5.2.0 --------------------------- ***************************************************************************** * MPFR mode (the -M option) is now ON PAROLE. This feature is now being * * supported by a volunteer in the development team and not by the primary * * maintainer. If this situation changes, then the feature will be removed. * * For more information see this section in the manual: * * https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/html_node/MPFR-On-Parole.html * ***************************************************************************** 1. Infrastructure upgrades: Libtool 2.4.7, Bison 3.8.2. 2. Numeric scalars now compare in the same way as C for the relational operators. Comparison order for sorting has not changed. This only makes a difference when comparing Infinity and NaN values with regular numbers; it should not be noticeable most of the time. 3. If the AWK_HASH environment variable is set to "fnv1a" gawk will use the FNV1-A hash function for associative arrays. 4. The CMake infrastructure has been removed. In the five years it was in the tree, nobody used it, and it was not updated. 5. There is now a new function, mkbool(), that creates Boolean-typed values. These values *are* numbers, but they are also tagged as Boolean. This is mainly for use with data exchange to/from languages or environments that support real Boolean values. See the manual for details. 6. As BWK awk has supported interval expressions since 2019, they are now enabled even if --traditional is supplied. The -r/--re-interval option remains, but it does nothing. 7. The rwarray extension has two new functions, writeall() and readall(), for saving / restoring all of gawk's variables and arrays. 8. The new `gawkbug' script should be used for reporting bugs. 9. The manual page (doc/gawk.1) has been considerably reduced in size. Wherever possible, details were replaced with references to the online copy of the manual. 10. Gawk now supports Terence Kelly's "persistent malloc" (pma), allowing gawk to preserve its variables, arrays and user-defined functions between runs. THIS IS AN EXPERIMENTAL FEATURE! For more information, see the manual. A new pm-gawk.1 man page is included, as is a separate user manual that focuses on the feature. 11. Support for OS/2 has been removed. It was not being actively maintained. 12. Similarly, support for DJGPP has been removed. It also was not being actively maintained. 13. VAX/VMS is no longer supported, as it can no longer be tested. The files for it remain in the distribution but will be removed eventually. 14. Some subtle issues with untyped array elements being passed to functions have been fixed. 15. Syntax errors are now immediately fatal. This prevents problems with errors from fuzzers and other such things. 16. There have been numerous minor code cleanups and bug fixes. See the ChangeLog for details.
