Changes:
0.6.4 (13 March 2004)
Runtime engine:
* Write Reflection.Emit binaries in "wb" mode.
* Set the execute bit on binaries written by Reflection.Emit.
* Fixes to unsafe-mode verification rules regarding pointers.
* Verification fixes for storing managed pointers via "stind.i".
* Modify internalcalls for "WaitAll" and "WaitAny" to work
around "MarshalByRefObject" adding a new field.
* Internalcalls for file lengths and attributes (Russell Stuart).
* Pass pointer parameters to delegates correctly (Gopal V).
C# Compiler:
* Fixes to reference type coercion.
* "params" array matching only on the last parameter (Gopal V).
* Filter out instance members when searching nested parent scopes.
* Assignment of arrays to pointer variables in "fixed" statements.
* Implement pointer comparison, addition, and subtraction.
C Compiler:
* Rewrite the type system to use native layout.
* Thread-specific variables.
* Fix casts from function pointer types to "void *".
* Computed goto support.
* Register parameters of the form "register type".
* Fix semantic analysis for expression statements.
* Add C#-style casts and coercions.
* Make "long double" an alias for "double" because MS runtime engines
don't handle the "native float" IL type correctly.
* Improve the visibility of C definitions to C# applications.
* Add some C# and Managed C++ syntax to aid with interoperation.
* Allow C# strings to be defined with S"foo".
* "using" and "using namespace" to import C# types into C programs.
* Output the parameter types for PInvoke declarations.
* Bug in the declaration of functions returning function pointers.
* Set the default PInvoke calling convention to "cdecl".
* Handle string initializations of the form {"foo"}.
* Convert constants of the form 123L into native ints, not int64.
Linker:
* Improve detection of unresolved references in C applications.
* Use C type names in error messages where appropriate.
* Use "OpenSystem.C.GlobalScopeAttribute" to export C# definitions
into the global C scope.
* Use ordinary names like "libc" for C modules instead of "$Module$".
* Remove C "memory models", which aren't needed any more.
Loader and Metadata:
* Allow custom modifiers within a "byref" type.
* Look for "pinvoke.map" files when resolving PInvoke libraries.
Csant:
* Missing options for mcs compiles (Ilyak Kasnacheev).
Documentation:
* Rewrite the C user's guide and move it into "pnettools.texi".
* Update the C ABI specification to reflect changes to the C compiler.
Platform Support:
* Enable FreeBSD pthreads support (Adam Ballai).
* Use the tm_gmtoff field for timezones (Ole Guldberg Jensen).
* Explicitly invoke the shell when configuring libgc and libffi.
* Work around bugs with read-write locks on systems with NPTL.
* Use $(EXEEXT) on install lines that need it, for mingw32.
* Fixup SOCKETLIBS and suppress libm under mingw32 environments.
Other:
* Check in a copy of gcc's cpp so that we can avoid system cpp bugs.
* Add the "#using#" directive to cpp.
* Update the "pnet.spec.in" file (Russell Stuart).- Loading branch information
