compilation.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: StrPtr() with a length argument now works correctly.

be sent to any extern function as function pointer argument.
* BUG: Opening memory stream should work in all cases now.

* NEW: StrPtr() now can take a second argument to specify the length of the
string we will read from memory. If that argument is not specified, the
string must ends with a zero character.
* OPT: Internal array management was optimized. It changes nothing for the
Gambas array class.
[COMPILER]
* OPT: Internal array management was optimized.
* BUG: Using embedded structure with a class that is not a structure now
raises an error.
git-svn-id: svn://localhost/gambas/trunk@2979 867c0c6c-44f3-4631-809d-bfa615b0a4ec
* NEW: Bytecode version has been increased, and so all projects must be
recompiled.
[INTERPRETER]

handled too.
* BUG: Static array management was fixed.
* NEW: All functions synonymous whose name ends with a question mark have
been removed.
[COMPILER]

* NEW: VarPtr() now works on a string variable. It returns the address of
the string.
* NEW: TypeOf("") now returns gb.String. "" is equal to NULL yet, but now its
string datatype is kept.
* NEW: Memory is new instruction like Open that opens a memory stream from
a Pointer.
* NEW: A Pointer can not be used as a stream directly. You must use the new
Memory instruction for that.
* NEW: The [...] array constructor now checks the datatype of all its
argument to decide the type of the new array.
* BUG: The ["key":value] collection constructor now does not leak memory
anymore if it fails.
* NEW: A new error, "void key", whose code is 64.
* NEW: TypeOf(Null) now returns gb.Null and not gb.Object anymore.
* BUG: IIf() now returns a Variant only if needed. It uses the same
algorithm as the array constructor.

a Pointer. The syntax is: hStream = Memory pPonter For Read | Write.
* NEW: Support for form controls being individually public.
* BUG: VarPtr() is compiled correctly again.

[CONFIGURATION]
* NEW: 64 bits port.
[EXAMPLES]
* BUG: Fixed the AnalogWatch example.
[WIKI CGI SCRIPT]
* NEW: Some little cosmetic changes.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: The extern function implementation has been redesigned and is now
based on libffi, so that it works on 64 bits system. Because of a flaw in
the compiler design, projects that use the Pointer datatype must be
recompiled to be used on a 64 bits system. This flaw will be fixed in
Gambas 3.
* OPT: Put some tables into read-only memory. About 1000 bytes are saved
for each running interpreter, except the first one.
