Version 4.14 (2020-01-26)

  • Added start of array-type instructions. (Brian Shirai)

  • Revert "Disable experimental compiler plugins." (Brian Shirai)
    This reverts commit 806f3be.

  • More work on array-type instructions. (Brian Shirai)

  • Added --sanitize configure flag. (Brian Shirai)
    This doesn't work yet on macOS 😭

    clang: error: unsupported option '-fsanitize=leak' for target 'x86_64-apple-darwin19.2.0'

  • Fix warning on Ubuntu Bionic. (Brian Shirai)
    machine/ffi_util.cpp:53:10: warning: In the GNU C Library, "major" is defined by <sys/sysmacros.h>.
    For historical compatibility, it is currently defined by <sys/types.h> as well, but we plan to
    remove this soon. To use "major", include <sys/sysmacros.h> directly. If you did not intend to
    use a system-defined macro "major", you should undefine it after including <sys/types.h>.
    [-W#pragma-messages]

  • Switch to AddressSanitizer. (Brian Shirai)

  • Enhance --sanitize configure option. (Brian Shirai)

  • Exclude sysmacros.h on macOS. (Brian Shirai)

  • Clean up some Valgrind-exposed memory leaks. (Brian Shirai)

  • Use unsynchronized set during GC. (Brian Shirai)
    We only run one thread during GC, so we don't need synchronized (un)set.

  • Track code return value for GC. (Brian Shirai)

  • Rework extended header & memory handle mechanisms. (Brian Shirai)

  • Added ref count instructions. (Brian Shirai)

  • Added deprecation for Fixnum, Bignum. (Brian Shirai)

  • Clean up from memory header rework. (Brian Shirai)

  • Removed a bunch of Rake stuff. (Brian Shirai)

  • Start to clean up 'Machine'. (Brian Shirai)

  • Checkpoint for GC after saving object reference. (Brian Shirai)
    It turns out, surprisingly enough, it's much easier to see the object we
    are trying to trace if we put it where we can see it first.
