[COMPILER]
* NEW: Don't emit debugging information for generated functions, but emit void sections for backward compatibility.
* NEW: Don't emit source file path in the debugging information.
[COMPILER]
* OPT: Some optimizations in symbol table routines.
* NEW: Emit column position in almost all error messages. It makes the compiler 2.5% slower, even with the optimizations.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: JIT compiler does not run static initializers anymore when loading a class. Otherwise bytecode can be modified before being compiled, leading to a JIT compiler crash.
[COMPILER]
* BUG: Fix LOCK subroutine meta-information.
[GB.JIT]
* NEW: Don't display abortion debugging message if there is no compilation to abort.
* BUG: Object variables are correctly managed now.
* BUG: DO...LOOP and REPEAT...UNTIL at the beginning of the function now is correctly compiled in all cases.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: Active file descriptor watches and active timers are now automatically transferred to the component declaring a custom event loop. Consequently, a process started before the declaration of the event loop will have its termination signal correctly catched.
* NEW: Use waitpid() instead of wait4().
[GB.GTK]
* BUG: Declare the event loop hook last so that active file descriptor watches and active transfer are automatically transferred.
[GB.GTK3]
* BUG: Declare the event loop hook last so that active file descriptor watches and active transfer are automatically transferred.
[GB.QT4]
* BUG: Declare the event loop hook last so that active file descriptor watches and active transfer are automatically transferred.
[GB.QT5]
* BUG: Declare the event loop hook last so that active file descriptor watches and active transfer are automatically transferred.
[INTERPRETER]
* OPT: JIT compilation is run in two steps.
[GB.JIT]
* OPT: Run JIT compilation in the background.
* NEW: JIT.Debug is a new property that allows to enable JIT debugging messages at runtime.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: Forgot to call JIT function when the call is dynamic, i.e. if the object owning the method has an anonymous datatype (Object or Variant).
[GB.JIT]
* BUG: Save the initial stack pointer of a function in the function stack instead of using the interpreter stack.
[GB.JIT]
* BUG: Set the SP stack pointer before calling the conversion function to workaround the compiler optimizations and prevent a memory leak at function end if the conversion fails and an exception is raised.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Creating a NULL value now clears the object address field so that it can be freely interpreted as a Object value with a null address by the JIT compiled code.
[GB.JIT]
* BUG: Correctly restore stack after calling a method through the interpreter.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: When creating a new class, set its component immediately if we know the archive it comes from.
[GB.JIT]
* BUG: Correctly load classes from archives other than the main project one.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: JIT: Add an API for throwing type mismatch errors.
* BUG: Raise a type mismatch error when converting a function to a variant. Don't panic anymore.
[GB.JIT]
* BUG: Handle function datatype by raising a type mismatch error.
* NEW: Fix panic error message.
[GB.JIT]
* BUG: Load project classes before try to resolve a unknown symbol.
* BUG: Correctly restore the stack pointer in all cases at function exit.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Abort if a stack mismatch is detected after a JIT function has been called.
[GB.JIT]
* NEW: The GB_JIT_CC environment variable allows to define the C compiler that will generate the code.
* OPT: Don't call the compiler through a shell anymore.
* NEW: Support for clang.
* BUG: Don't use the "," operator anymore to write JIT code.
* BUG: Correctly free stack when leaving a function whereas we are still inside a GOSUB.
* BUG: Declare all local variables and arguments as volatile as soon the function uses CATCH or FINALLY.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Jit is a new static class that allows to deal with the JIT compiler.
* NEW: Jit.Time is a new property that returns the time spent in JIT compilation, in seconds.
[GB.JIT]
* NEW: Support for the Jit.Time property.
* NEW: UNSAFE is a new keyword used in conjunction with FAST. It tells the JIT compiler not to do any safety check (null objects, division by zero, out of array bounds...). It makes the code a bit faster, but prone to segmentation fault.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Support for the UNSAFE keyword.
[GB.JIT]
* NEW: Support for the UNSAFE keyword.
* NEW: Check validity of objects that can be invalid.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: JIT: Support for SUPER.
* NEW: JIT: Support for extern functions.
* NEW: Add a flag in Gambas functions to know if they are static or not.
[GB.JIT]
* NEW: Support for SUPER.
* NEW: Support for extern functions.
* BUG: Fix object arrays access.
* OPT: Optimization of Abs, Sgn, Int, Fix, and Pi subroutines.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: JIT: Support for event raising.
* BUG: Fix some bugs detected by clang.
[GB.JIT]
* NEW: Support for event raising.
* OPT: Some optimizations in jit code generation and compilation.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: JIT: Fix error handling when calling methods from JIT code.
[GB.JIT]
* NEW: Fix support of CATCH and FINALLY.
* NEW: Support for ON GOTO and ON GOSUB.
