22-segfault-with-stubs.patch This dirty hack fixes segfaults if Tcl is built with stubs and Expect is used directly from C program.
Example:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <tcl8.5/expect.h>
int main()
{
FILE *pipe;
char *some_command = "uname";
char datum;
pipe = exp_popen(some_command);
if (pipe == NULL) return 1;
while ((datum = getc (pipe)) != EOF)
printf("%c",datum);
}
Example:
#include <stdio.h>
#include "expect.h"
main()
{
int fd = 0;
fd = exp_spawnl("echo", "echo", "Hello User: Whats up?", (char*) 0);
switch (exp_expectl(fd, exp_regexp, "ser:", 1, exp_end)) {
case 1: {
printf("GOT ser:\n");
break;
}
default: {
printf("DEFAULT\n");
return 1;
}
}
printf("Normal Exit\n");
return 0;

24-format.patch Patch fixes calls to fprintf() and sprintf(). Sergei Golovan no
28-cross.patch make cross compilation work
This patch essentially replaces most AC_TRY_RUN with something "better".
Dependening on the use case that may be AC_TRY_COMPILE, AC_COMPUTE_INT or even
AC_CHECK_TYPE. Uses beyond cross compilation:
* Significant simplification of the code.
* Some checks become cacheable.

===================================================================		 Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de> no
29-suggest-tk.patch Patch shows to the user a message about missing Tk with suggestion to istall for scripts that require Tk to run. Sergei Golovan no
30-editorial-changes-to-manpages.patch Patch with editorial changes to the expect manpages Bjarni Ingi Gislason <bjarniig@simnet.is> no
35-expect-empty-match.patch Patch fixes matching empty substring at start of buffer Andrew Burgess yes upstream
40-tcl9.patch Patch ports Expect to Tcl 9 1. define TCL_VARARGS*, _ANSI_ARGS_, VOID, CONST, CONST84 for Tcl 9
to minimize size of the patch
2. define the Tcl_Size type for Tcl 8 and use it for functions which
prototypes has been changed in Tcl 9
3. fix prototypes for a few functions
4. do not define USE_NON_CONST, add/remove const modifiers from several variables
5. modify the code to replace Tcl_EvalTokens() by Tcl_EvalTokensStandard()
(borrow the code wrapper from Tcl 8.6)
6. replace a call to Tcl_UniCharNcmp() with a call to memcmp() because the
former is deleted from Tcl 9
7. initialize stubs with appropriate Tcl version ("8" or "9")
8. convert the exp channel type to version 5 by implementing its close2Proc
as a simple wrapper around closeProc.
9. fix several warnings about const types by casting them to non-const variants
Limitations: Patch is incomplete, it doesn't touch pty_sgttyb.c, pty_unicos.c,
exp_poll.c, exp_simple.c, exp_noevent.c as they do not compile for Debian		 Sergei Golovan no
41-uninitialized.patch Patch fixes a few uses of uninitialized variables. Sergei Golovan no
