[CONFIGURATION]
* BUG: Do not use the default CFLAGS forces by autotools. Either use the CFLAGS provided on the command-line, or the default ones of the project.
[INTERPRETER]
* OPT: Don't use '-O3'. It makes benchmarks sometimes slower than using '-O2'.
[COMPILER]
* OPT: Optimize variable initialization.
[COMPILER]
* OPT: Optimization of conditional jumps based on values known to be Boolean.
* BUG: Jump optimization is effective when debugging information is generated.
* BUG: The '/' operator correctly returns a Float if its arguments are Float.
[INTERPRETER]
* OPT: Optimization of conditional jumps based on values known to be Boolean.
[GB.JIT]

[COMPILER]
* OPT: Support for local variable manipulation optimization.
[INTERPRETER]
* OPT: Avoid unneeded type conversion swhen manipulating local variables.
* OPT: Various optimizations of the interpreter execution loop. Apparently a smaller execution loop has a big impact on speed. I guess this is related to the size of the various CPU caches.
[COMPILER]
* OPT: The parser now does not store integer numbers in its global symbol table anymore.
* OPT: Some other little optimizations here and here. The compiler is now about 5% faster.

[COMPILER]
* NEW: Support for the new PEEK instruction.
[INTERPRETER]

* OPT: IsAscii(), IsLower(), IsPunct()... instructions are now a bit faster.
[COMPILER]
* BUG: Allow static arrays to be used with the point operator.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: Fix static array management. They are not read-only anymore. Only methods that want to modify the size of the array are forbidden, as well as the ReadOnly property.

* BUG: Remove some useless structure packing directives.
[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: Fix compilation of function calls with variable arguments passing.

[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: String value can be used like object.
* NEW: String[X] returns the X-th character of the string, 0 being the first one.
* NEW: String[X, N] returns N characters from the position X, 0 being the first one. IF N is strictly negative, then all characters from the position X, except the last N characters are returned.
* NEW: String.Len returns the length of the string.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: Allow the [] operator to be applied to a string.
[COMPILER]

* OPT: Compile is now compiled with -O3 optimizations.
* OPT: Reserved words built-in symbol table is faster now.
* NEW: Initial support for expression datatype analyze. Some new errors are raised at compilation time, like using a string with the AND operator for example. The datatype analyzer is rougher than the IDE one because it is local to the compile class.
* OPT: Symbol table search is a bit faster.

* NEW: A symbol followed by a point is never interpreted as a function if
it is used as a function name in the current class.
git-svn-id: svn://localhost/gambas/trunk@6856 867c0c6c-44f3-4631-809d-bfa615b0a4ec
* NEW: The process child errors raised before the exec() system call are
now catched in a separate function called by the compiler explicitly
after a SHELL or EXEC assignment.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: SHELL and EXEC assignments now call an hidden subroutine just after
the assignment to immediately check for a possible child error.
git-svn-id: svn://localhost/gambas/trunk@6681 867c0c6c-44f3-4631-809d-bfa615b0a4ec
* NEW: Support for the new USE instruction.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: A class header now can include USE "xxxx" declarations, where "xxxx"
is a component name. It means that the specified component will be loaded
when the class is initialized, the first time it is loaded.
git-svn-id: svn://localhost/gambas/trunk@6648 867c0c6c-44f3-4631-809d-bfa615b0a4ec
* OPT: Write in the bytecode file if a function uses the IsMissing() native
routine.
[INTERPRETER]
* OPT: Don't use a stack slot for missing arguments if the IsMissing()
function is not used.
git-svn-id: svn://localhost/gambas/trunk@6274 867c0c6c-44f3-4631-809d-bfa615b0a4ec
* NEW: IsMissing() is a new function that returns if an optional argument
is missing. It always returns FALSE on a non-optional argument.
[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Support for IsMissing().
git-svn-id: svn://localhost/gambas/trunk@6258 867c0c6c-44f3-4631-809d-bfa615b0a4ec
* BUG: Correctly raise a syntax error now when there is anything between
the left part of an assignment and the assignment operator.
git-svn-id: svn://localhost/gambas/trunk@6253 867c0c6c-44f3-4631-809d-bfa615b0a4ec
* BUG: Correctly drop arguments when using the new '...' symbol syntax.
[COMPILER]
* BUG: Correctly drop arguments when using the new '...' symbol syntax.
git-svn-id: svn://localhost/gambas/trunk@6252 867c0c6c-44f3-4631-809d-bfa615b0a4ec
* NEW: Support for the new '...' symbol usage in function calls.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: '...' can be used for passing all the variables arguments of the
current function to another function. The '...' symbol must be the last
argument of the function call.

* BUG: Fix maximum number of array declaration in the same class.
* NEW: Array and Collection constructor operator [ ... ] now can take any
number of arguments. It is only limited by the maximum function size,
which leads for example to about 32000 elements for a short array.
git-svn-id: svn://localhost/gambas/trunk@6110 867c0c6c-44f3-4631-809d-bfa615b0a4ec

they are not alone in an expression.
git-svn-id: svn://localhost/gambas/trunk@6041 867c0c6c-44f3-4631-809d-bfa615b0a4ec
* BUG: Undo one change of last revision: reading a stream from a memory
stream is a special case. It reads a null-terminated C string, and not a
serialized Gambas string.
* NEW: OPEN STRING is a new instruction that allows to use a string as a
stream. Writing to it appends the written data to the end of the string
at the moment.
* NEW: Closing a string stream returns the data written to the stream as a
new string.
[COMPILER]
* NEW: New OPEN STRING instruction.
* NEW: OPEN MEMORY and OPEN PIPE are synonymous of the MEMORY and PIPE
instructions alone.
[GB.EVAL]
* NEW: Highlight the new OPEN STRING instruction correctly.
