Version 0.44 Alpha Build 44 (2004-07-??)
|
||||
|
||||
The compiler
|
||||
------------
|
||||
- Fixed support for late/early evaluation of macro exressions in a codeblock
|
||||
(Flex version). Harbour(flex) is now full Clipper compatible here.
|
||||
- Fixed support for stringify match markers <""> and <()> in Flex version.
|
||||
- Fixed codeblock scanning - this should cure random GPFs.
|
||||
- Minor fix for calculating the maximum keys number in index page.
|
||||
- HB_GT_KEYMAP() - Support for runtime definition of keycodes mapping.
|
||||
- Improved recognition of xterm compatible terminals
|
||||
- New compatibility flag -ks was added to enable support for
|
||||
strings as array of bytes.
|
||||
- New compiler flag -ks was added to enable support for
|
||||
strings as array of bytes. (Notice that support for strings
|
||||
as array of bytes is disabled by default both in the Harbour compiler
|
||||
and in harbour's runtime modules)
|
||||
- Added a new compiler switch -kJ to disable jump optimalization and
|
||||
NOOP pcode removal (optimalization is enabled by default).
|
||||
- When xbase mode is not used (-kc or -kch) then compiler doesn't
|
||||
generate the pcode for these xbase extended features.
|
||||
- Added support for DO <proc> WITH @variable
|
||||
- Latest RDD changes synced with xHarbour.
|
||||
- Fixed optimalization of literal strings that contain macro operator.
|
||||
- Enabled support for break[].
|
||||
- Fixed to correctly generate an address for far jumps
|
||||
- Fixed optimalization of far jumps
|
||||
- Added a new switch -kJ to disable jump optimalization and
|
||||
NOOP pcode removal (optimalization is enabled by default).
|
||||
- HBVer - A utility to automatically update include/hbver.h.
|
||||
- Fixed to release PUBLIC variables correctly
|
||||
- Fixed optimalization of far jumps (this fixes generation of pcode
|
||||
for abnormally large (DO CASE/IF/ELSEIF statements)
|
||||
- Added support to OpenWatcom DOS/Win32.
|
||||
- Fixed dbCreate() bug that closed an open dbf with same name as newly
|
||||
created dbf in a different folder.
|
||||
- Fixed bug in Directory( "c:\*.*" ) that returned 0 when hidden files
|
||||
were present.
|
||||
- When debug information is requested then the compiler generates
|
||||
correct pcode with static variable name.
|
||||
- The pcode of a codeblock contains the module name (in debug mode).
|
||||
- Enhanced Debugger.
|
||||
- Fixed compilation of &(exp) in normal stringify
|
||||
markers (this fixes INDEX ON bug).
|
||||
- Alert() Fixed bug with messages longer then 60 bytes.
|
||||
- FIELDPUT() Fixed to accept and ignore field NIL values
|
||||
without runtime error. C52 compatible.
|
||||
- TGet:display() fixed to always evaluate the get block before
|
||||
displaying like in C52.
|
||||
- Added missing support for @¯o and @M->memvar
|
||||
- Added new pcode HB_MACROPUSHREF
|
||||
- Added missing support for @¯o and @M->memvar (aAdded a new
|
||||
pcode HB_MACROPUSHREF)
|
||||
- Fixed generation of pcode for &(macro)->() syntax.
|
||||
- Fixed #define parsing of pseudofunctions in cases where
|
||||
passed argument has the same name as declared parameter.
|
||||
- BLDTEST : simple C program to check if Harbour can be compiled on
|
||||
used machine / system / C compiler.
|
||||
- TBColumn - Added PreBlock and PostBlock instance variables for
|
||||
Clipper 5.3x compatibility.
|
||||
- Added scopped relations. Now OrdSetRelation() works with DBFCDX like it
|
||||
does with Clipper 5.3b.
|
||||
- Fixed parsing of nested #defines in command/translate
|
||||
- Macro - Added HB_SM_ARRSTR support.
|
||||
- Fixed TYPE() function to return correct value when an assigment to
|
||||
undeclared variable is checked (Clipper creates the memvar variable).
|
||||
- Clipper preproceses '**' into '^' - harbour too
|
||||
- Fixed to correctly check for infinity on Unix STR(LOG(-1)) no longer
|
||||
core dumps.
|
||||
- Fixed infinite support for WatcomC.
|
||||
- Fixed to release memory in cases where invalid syntax was macro compiled.
|
||||
- Macro - Fixed bug cousing that some memory was deallocated more then once.
|
||||
- Added HB_COUNTER and HB_PTRDIFF types - first for reference counters and
|
||||
second for any pointer differences and pointer to integer conversions.
|
||||
- HB_EXPORT is added to ITEM API, FILE API and some other function
|
||||
definitions to make it possible to call them when they are in the dll.
|
||||
- Added missing code to use HB_IT_POINTER just like other value's type.
|
||||
- Removed all pointer/long castings (except runner.c).
|
||||
- Changes to ADSCOPYTABLE.
|
||||
- Changes to ADSCOPYTABLECONTENTS.
|
||||
- Fixed optimalization of AT,ASC,LEN,CHR functions in the macro compiler.
|
||||
- Added posibility to specify the output PPO file with -p
|
||||
- Fixed optimalization of AT,ASC,LEN,CHR functions
|
||||
- Added posibility to specify the output PPO filename with -p flag
|
||||
e.g. -pppo/myfile.ppo
|
||||
- harbour.l modified to compile correctly with flex version 2.5.31.
|
||||
- Fixed to compile FOR var[index]
|
||||
|
||||
The runtime modules
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
- Enhanced Debugger.
|
||||
- Added missing code to use HB_IT_POINTER just like other value's type.
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
p = GET_SOME_POINTER()
|
||||
? VALTYPE(p) //prints: 'P'
|
||||
? p //prints: 0x12345678
|
||||
- The support for runtime definition of keycodes mapping was added
|
||||
(translation from terminal key sequences into INKEY() codes)
|
||||
eterm.map and linux.map are example files with keycode mapping
|
||||
HB_GT_KEYMAP() function was added (ncurses GT only)
|
||||
- Added possibility to load a character mapping using HB_GT_CHARMAP()
|
||||
(ncurses GT only)
|
||||
- Improved recognition of xterm compatible terminals (ncurses GT only)
|
||||
- New internal command line arguments were added to control
|
||||
application at runtime:
|
||||
//FLAGS:switches
|
||||
this flag controls compatibility issues of the virtual
|
||||
machine
|
||||
Available switches:
|
||||
c - Clipper compatibility
|
||||
h - Harbour extensions (enabled by default)
|
||||
s - enable support for strings as array of bytes (disabled
|
||||
by default)
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
myapp //FLAGS:ch
|
||||
will disable support for strings as array of bytes
|
||||
|
||||
//CANCEL:key
|
||||
//CANCELEX:keyex
|
||||
this flag allows change the keycode of application cancel
|
||||
request (usually Alt-C) - using normal INKEY() keycodes
|
||||
or extended keycodes (CANCELEX)
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
myapp //CANCEL:304
|
||||
will change Alt-c into Alt-b for cancelling (Alt-c is used
|
||||
to insert polish diactric letter)
|
||||
- Fixed to release PUBLIC variables correctly
|
||||
- Fixed bug in Directory( "c:\*.*" ) that returned 0 when hidden files
|
||||
were present.
|
||||
- Alert() Fixed bug with messages longer then 60 bytes.
|
||||
- TGet:display() fixed to always evaluate the get block before
|
||||
displaying like in C52.
|
||||
- TBColumn - Added PreBlock and PostBlock instance variables for
|
||||
Clipper 5.3x compatibility.
|
||||
- Fixed TYPE() function to return correct value when an assigment to
|
||||
undeclared variable is checked (Clipper creates the memvar variable).
|
||||
- TGet - Fixed to correctly display buffer when negative value
|
||||
and '0' was pressed in the position next to decimal point.
|
||||
- TGet - Fixed support for '9999.' picture.
|
||||
- TRANSFORM(1.23,"999.") correctly returns " 1." now instead of empty string.
|
||||
- harbour.l modified to compile correctly with flex version 2.5.31.
|
||||
- Fixed to correctly check for infinity on Unix STR(LOG(-1)) no longer
|
||||
core dumps.
|
||||
- Fixed infinite support for WatcomC.
|
||||
- Fixed to release memory in cases where invalid syntax was macro compiled.
|
||||
- Added DATA CapRow and DATA CapCol values to TGET class
|
||||
(for Clipper 5.3x compatibility).
|
||||
- Fixed to correctly return the procedure name where the codeblock was created.
|
||||
- Greek and Serbian language codepage files added.
|
||||
- fixed to use 'mkstemp' on Unix (no more GCC linker warnings)
|
||||
- Fixed file find API to be compatible with CA-Cl*pper on the lower level.
|
||||
- Fixes in TBColumn class
|
||||
|
||||

||||
