  public. Fixes problem report #486.

April 7, 2003  G.Cosmo (global-V05-00-05)
- G4Allocator.hh: revert back latest change. Performance loss is not really
  relevant in a real simulation but not negligible in a specific unit test.
- Added simple unit tests for G4Allocator and G4Timer.

April 1, 2003  G.Cosmo (global-V05-00-04)
- G4Allocator.hh: test additional protection for NULL pointer in FreeSingle().

March 27, 2003  G.Cosmo (global-V05-00-03)
- Fixed compilation problem on WIN32-VC platform for G4strstreambuf.

March 25, 2003  G.Cosmo (global-V05-00-02)

  and G4strstreambuf.

February 05, 2003  G.Cosmo (global-V05-00-01)
- Removed copies of SystemOfUnits.h and PhysicalConstants.h, now using
  directly headers from CLHEP: changed globals.hh and G4SIunits.hh.

January 22, 2003  G.Cosmo (global-V05-00-00)
- global.hh: exclude definition of min/max for Windows .NET VC++ compiler.

December 6, 2002 G.Cosmo (global-V04-01-05)
- G4Integrator.icc: fixed some uninitialised variables.
- Fixed unit test for G4Integrator.

 Modified : G4Exception.cc G4StateManager.hh globals.hh

June 21, 2002 G.Cosmo (global-V04-01-00)
- G4Allocator.hh: changed definition of page size to become data-member of
  G4Allocator. fPageSize is now computed according to the size of the object
  to be allocated. The default size is 1024 bytes for objects whose size is
  less than 512 bytes, 10 times the size of the object otherwise.
  To be benchmarked before put it in production.

May 30, 2002 G.Cosmo (global-V04-00-08)
- G4DataVector.cc: initialise to zero values in collection for contructor
  taking capacity.

May 24, 2002 G.Cosmo (global-V04-00-07)
- Introduced temporary modifications for porting on gcc-3.1 compiler:
  o g4std/strstream: deactivate gcc-3.1 specific __DEPRECATED flag.
  o G4strstreambuf.icc: correct patch for overflow() to be specific only to
    gcc-3.0.X versions of the compiler. Behavior now fixed in gcc-3.1.
  o G4llocator.hh: use pointer to member data to compute offset in FreeSingle().
    for gcc-3.1 compiler. gcc-3.1 complains and does not correctly handle offsets
    computed from non-POD types. Pointers to member data should be used instead.
    This advanced C++ feature seems not to work on earlier versions of the same
    compiler or on other system configurations.
- Cosmetics for Software Reference Manual on G4Allocator related headers.

May 15, 2002 G.Cosmo (global-V04-00-06)
- G4UnitsTable.cc: fixed bug in operator<< to use the argument 'flux'

January 28, 2002 G.Cosmo (global-V04-00-02)
- G4strstream.icc: temporary fix to G4strstream::overflow(int) for GNU gcc-3.0.X
  compilers, which require returning of character c in case of <CR>.

January 25, 2002 G.Cosmo (global-V04-00-01)

    is set.
  o tpsrtvec.icc, tvordvec.icc: corrected implementation of last() in case
    of call to G4RWTHROW(a).
  o cstring.icc: defined function G4String::strcasecompare(a,b) which will
    NOT invoke the non-ANSI function strcasecmp(a,b) when G4USE_STD_NAMESPACE

  with natural logarithmic scale for energy/momentum bins. (M.G.Pia)

March 21, 2000 G.Cosmo (global-V01-01-01)
- STLInterface: forced initialization of vectors' members also for
  ordered/sorted collections. Even when using the access operator
  vector::operator[] as left-hand operand, it requires the vector
  to be not empty. Removed usage of vector::reserve(capacity).

March 11, 2000 G.Cosmo (global-V01-01-00)
- STLInterface: implemented correct behavior for vectors' default constructors,
  as expected by the RW interface.
  o for pointer/value ordered/sorted collections, an EMPTY STL vector is
    created and the vector capacity is set to G4RWDEFAULT_CAPACITY
    using vector::reserve(capacity). No element initialisation is done.
  o for pointer/value simple collections, a default constructor creating
    an EMPTY STL vector is implemented; the constructor taking the capacity
    as argument, creates an STL vector of the given capacity and explicitly
    initialises its elements. NB: pointers are initialised to zero.
- Added "g4std/complex" wrapper file (V.Grichine)

February 16, 2000 H.Kurashige (global-V01-00-04)

    (bug was introduced inadvertently on 20-Oct-1999).
  o Added checks for bound-overflows in G4RWTPtrSortedVector::find().
  o Fixed bound-check for operators () and [] in most collections:
    () access operators DO NOT perform bound-checking (except if G4DEBUG set);
    [] access operators DO perform bound-checking.
  o tpvector[.h.icc]: changed 'unsigned int' to 'size_t' in constructors.
    Added 'rwsize' and bound-checking for operator[].
  o tvvector.icc: added call to std_vector() in default constructor.
  o tpordvec.icc: added std_pvector:: scope for calls to [] operator,
    where missing.
  o tvordvec.icc: added std_vector:: scope for calls to [] operator,
    where missing.

May 24, 99 G.Cosmo (global-01-00-04)
- globals.hh: removed inclusion of G4Timer.hh, left only G4Types.hh.
  The attempted solution does not work in situation where STL headers are pulled
  in before globals.hh. Several of this cases experienced on HP-aCC.
- STLInterface/rw/tphdict.h: added find() method to retrieve a key.

May 24, 99 G.Cosmo (global-01-00-03)
- G4Timer.hh: removed CPP cludge for the "times" clash in ObjectSpace.

  DEC cxx 5.X compiler not supported anymore.
- Moved G4ParticleTypes.hh to particles/management/include to remove
  dependency over particles category.

- Fixed initialization of G4UnitDefinition::UnitsMessenger in
  G4UnitesTable.cc.

October 17, 98 H.Kurasige

- Included new G4SYSTEMS for Win/NT platform: WIN32-VC-NICE and 
  WIN32-G++-NICE in GNUmakefiles.architecture.
  Added CLHEP, RW, architecture dependant variables and variables for 
  positional qualifiers (different between UNIX and VC).
