[build] Move archive version info into version.h (for non autotools build).
The canonical location for all version info is the ginac/version.h file
now (so we can have two build systems without duplicating the version info
in configure.ac and CMakeLists.txt).
Convert function.pl into C++ (well, almost) source and header.
The code is much more readable now, as it's (almost) plain C++ (except
simple pythonic `preprocessor' instructions). As a side effect perl is
no longer necessary for building GiNaC.
[bugfix] Always #include <lst.h> before using lst. Fixes build error on MinGW.
[temp.expl.spec] says:
6 If a template, a member template or the member of a class template
is explicitly specialized then that specialization shall be declared
before the first use of that specialization that would cause an implicit
instantiation to take place, in every translation unit in which such a
use occurs; no diagnostic is required. If the program does not provide
a definition for an explicit specialization and either the specialization
is used in a way that would cause an implicit instantiation to take place
or the member is a virtual member function, the program is ill-formed,
no diagnostic required. An implicit instantiation is never generated for
an explicit specialization that is declared but not defined.
Apparently we are breaking this rule (presumably since the commit 99901bd5c742
`Parser can now read GiNaC lists (lst) defined by braces.'). In particular,
parser.cpp does not include lst.h (neither directly nor indirectly) which
contains explicit specialization of lst::info(). However, parser.cpp
(indirectly) includes both container.h and registar.h, so the GiNaC::lst type
is declared (and is complete) before the first usage. Thus lst::info() gets
implicitly instantiated (using the general definition provided in container.h)
when compiling the parser.cpp file, and libginac fails to link properly due
to mutliply defined symbols:
configure: correctly set rpath for linking with CLN ...
... as to not break tests for libreadline and dlopen().
Problem:
When using GCC 4.6 the configure script fails to find libreadline and
libdl, although both libraries are definitely installed. See
http://www.ginac.de/pipermail/ginac-list/2012-January/001868.html for
more details.
Reason:
Apparently GCC 4.6 dislikes the -R/the/path switch (libtool way to say
-Wl,-rpath,/the/path in a cross platform manner). Previous versions of
GCC used to ignore the -R switch, however, GCC 4.6 errors out instead.
Thus the configure script fails to detect readline and dlopen.
Solution:
Set the rpath (for linking with CLN) using the compiler friendly syntax
(i.e. -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/the/path instead of -R/the/path).
Now that C++11 is out, there is no more need for oracling
about how it might eventually standardize the branch cuts of
elementary and inverse trigonometric and hyperbolic functions.
Quick and dirty bug fix for the parser to read GiNaC::lst again.
The parser only accepts lst in the form lst(...) not {...}, though.
Function prototype can now have a argument size of 0 to indicate
functions with an arbitrary number of arguments (like lst).
Fixed a bug in the code for subsitutions in indexed expressions.
subs_options::no_index_renaming was ignored.

Care about refcounts when reclaiming memory allocated for static objects.
With commit aff357309f6 we started freeing numeric flyweights when the library
usage count drops to zero. But that triggers assertions in basic::~basic
when compiled with -DDO_GINAC_ASSERT because these flyweights are still being
used by their matching ex objects (their refcount is still 1). Instead of
removing that assertion, let's just call the ex::~ex manually and let it do
the freeing.

[msvc] msvc cannot handle string constants above 16k
[msvc] Yet another compiler bug work around.

Don't try to tie the library version to the package version number.
Use curret:release:age to indicate ABI changes instead. Hard-code LT_RELEASE
to 1.5 to avoid spurious SONAME change (current code is binary-compatible
with GiNaC 1.5.8).
But the ability to do so is important for a lot of practical uses. So soon
after the C++98 standard was approved, a language defect report was filed
on this topic, see
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/cwg_defects.html#195
The result is that compilers will be allowed to support reinterpret_cast
conversions of function pointers to other (pointers) types, and vice a versa.
Such conversions work with *current* compilers (GCC 4.x), but don't work
with older ones, hence this patch.
Fix the compliation error *for real* ... and restore performance
Commit 8bf0597dde55e4c94a2ff39f1d8130902e3d7a9b (titled as 'Fixed the parser
such that it can read in user defined classes again.') made the parser a bit
slower, especially if the input contains many terms of user-defined type.
The reason for that is quite simple: we throw and catch an exception every
time we construct an object of user-defined type:
// dirty hack to distinguish between serial numbers of functions and real
// pointers.
GiNaC::function* f = NULL;
try {
unsigned serial = (unsigned)(unsigned long)(void *)(reader->second);
f = new GiNaC::function(serial, args);
}
catch ( std::runtime_error ) {
if ( f ) delete f;
ex ret = reader->second(args);
return ret;
}
Fortunately functions are aligned and we can use much more efficient
technique to distinguish between serial and pointers to functions.
This patch is an ugly hack that does the same as the commit f38cbcd651246fb5c1294705d29399f3cbfddaf5
but without changing the ABI (so it can be used in ginac_1-5).

[msvc] Work around strange scoping and name mangling rules.
1. msvc creates different symbols for a variable declared in
a namespace scope and (the same variable) in a class method
scope. That is,
// util.cpp
namespace GiNaC {
extern const ex _ex0; // [1]
}
// ex.h
namespace GiNaC {
class ex {
public:
bool is_zero() {
extern const ex _ex0;
// mangled name of _ex0 is different that of [1]
}
};
}
2. The mangled names for cv-qualified and cv-unqualified versions
of a type are different (which violates the requirements stated
in [basic.type.qualifier])
These msvc's "features" cause linking failures due to unresolved
external symbols.
Solution:
1. Declare variables (_ex0) in the GiNaC namespace scope (for msvc only).
2. Add corresponding cv-qualifier(s).
The method in question is const, therefore one should use const_iterator
to access indices. Some compilers (for instance, msvc) are very strict
about this, and won't accept (invalid) code using non-const iterator.

integer_content() can also return a rational number, e.g if the expression

GCD for polynomials over a field is defined up to arbitrary element of
the field).
This fixes possible segfault when computing GCD of polynomials over

mul: algebraic_subs_mul(), has(): don't write beyond the end of array
algebraic_match_mul_with_mul() iterates over operands of mul, that is
for (size_t i=0; i<e.nops(); ++i)

function is seq.size(), which is nops() - 1 for any mul object. Thus
algebraic_match_mul_with_mul() accesses beyond the arrays limit. Usually
it's not a problem, since any reasonable implementation of std::vector<bool>
packs booleans into ints (or longs). However, some STL implementations
(in particular, the one shipped with msvc) are more picky, and access
beyond the vector<bool> limits results in a segfault. Therefore let's
play safe and allocate proper number of elements (that is, nops()) for
those arrays (subsed and currsubsed).
