vendor/bc: upgrade to version 6.7.4

Documentation updates only, no functional changes to the software.

(cherry picked from commit a3f3a7b4dc80d577e4c8fc64dfbbb359d2e24228)


# 103d7cdf 24-Feb-2023 Stefan Eßer <se@FreeBSD.org>

vendor/bc: import version 6.3.1

This version adds a command to dc to query whether extended registers
are enabled or not.

(cherry picked from commit 61e1a12bb6c3bfdb0a4e499c88e8eaa2b548e427)


# 4fca8e0f 06-Feb-2023 Stefan Eßer <se@FreeBSD.org>

contrib/bc: uodate to version 6.2.4

This update contains only documentation changes (new main repository
URL and changed mail address of the program author) and changes to
the build system that do not affect the FreeBSD base system build.

# d101cdd6 28-Jan-2023 Stefan Eßer <se@FreeBSD.org>

contrib/bc: merge from vendor release 6.2.2

This update fixes a few issues in history editing and the processing
of the "quit" function. The "quit" function will no longer cause bc
to exit when encountered in a script file (before any command from
the script has been executed).

New functions is_number(), is_string return 1 if the passed argument
is a number resp. a string. The asciify() function has been extended
to support the conversion of an array of numbers into a string.

# 78bc019d 11-Jun-2022 Stefan Eßer <se@FreeBSD.org>

usr.bin/bc: update to version 5.3.1

This version adds support for command line editing and history using
the libedit or readline libraries in addition to the line editing
features available in previous versions.

The version in the base system is configured to use libedit.

This allows to choose between emacs and vi line editing commands and
to use command overrides via a ~/.editrc file.

# d43fa8ef 04-Oct-2021 Stefan Eßer <se@FreeBSD.org>

contrib/bc: merge version 5.1.0 from vendor branch

This version adds options and functions that allow to print numbers
in the open interval (-1 .. 1) with or without a leading 0 digit.

Additionally, an option has been added to prevent line wrap and
allows to print arbitrarily long results on a single line.

usr.bin/ghä-bc, contrib/bc: update to version 5.0.0

Merge commit 2f57ecae4b98e76e5d675563785a7e6c59c868c4

This is a new major release with a number of changes and extensions:

- Limited the number of temporary numbers and made the space for them
static so that allocating more space for them cannot fail.
- Allowed integers with non-zero scale to be used with power, places,
and shift operators.
- Added greatest common divisor and least common multiple to lib2.bc.
- Made bc and dc UTF-8 capable.
- Added the ability for users to have bc and dc quit on SIGINT.
- Added the ability for users to disable prompt and TTY mode by
environment variables.
- Added the ability for users to redefine keywords.
- Added dc's modular exponentiation and divmod to bc.
- Added the ability to assign strings to variables and array elements
and pass them to functions in bc.
- Added dc's asciify command and stream printing to bc.
- Added bitwise and, or, xor, left shift, right shift, reverse,
left rotate, right rotate, and mod functions to lib2.bc.
- Added the functions s2u(x) and s2un(x,n), to lib2.bc.

# 7e5c51e5 06-Apr-2021 Stefan Eßer <se@FreeBSD.org>

Merge commit '7a590c074ceede12b2b6e794f8703d6fa5749918'

Update to version 4.0.0

This version fixes an issue (missing pop of top-of-stack value in the
"P" command of the dc program).

This issue did not affect the bc program, since it does not use dc as
an back-end to actually perform the calculations as was the case with
the traditional bc and dc programs.

The major number has been bumped due to Windows support that has been
added to this version. It does not correspond to a major change that
might affect FreeBSD.

bc: Vendor import new version 3.3.3

# 9a995fe1 17-Feb-2021 Stefan Eßer <se@FreeBSD.org>

Upgrade to version 3.3.0

This update changes the behavior of "-e" or "-f" in BC_ENV_ARGS:

Use of these options on the command line makes bc exit after executing
the given commands. These options will not cause bc to exit when
passed via the environment (but EOF in STDIN or -e or -f on the
command line will make bc exit as before).

The same applies to DC_ENV_ARGS with regard to the dc program.

# 10328f8b 31-Jan-2021 Stefan Eßer <se@FreeBSD.org>

Update to version 3.2.0


# 5d934bc0 03-Aug-2020 Stefan Eßer <se@FreeBSD.org>

Upgrade to version 3.1.4

This version omits the printing of a copyright header in interactive mode
and the dc command now exits after execution of the commands passed via -e
or -f instead of switching to interactive mode. To pass further commands
via STDIN when dc has been invoked with -e or -f, add "-f -" to the
parameter list.


# 3aa99676 07-Jul-2020 Stefan Eßer <se@FreeBSD.org>

Update to version 3.1.1

This version fixes a regression with regard to tradtional behavior of the
non-standard FreeBSD option "-e". In the previous version "-e quit" caused
bc to exit before any computations had been performed, since all -e option
parameters were concatenated and parsed as a whole, with quit causing the
program to exit as soon as it was parsed. This version parses and executes
commands passed with -e one by one and only exits after all prior commands
have been executed.

This commit is not a SVN merge, since the vendor import had been performed
after the import to contrib. Instead the contents of contrib/bc has been
removed and the new version is copied over unchanged from vendor/bc/dist.
