Developer changes
6.3.7.4123 (July 21st 2008)
New features
- base: Added `sleep' to EXECUTION_ENVIRONMENT and made `sleep' from THREAD_CONTROL obsolete.
- base: Added `read_xxx_thread_aware' in IO_MEDIUM so that reading a file is not blocking in a multithreaded context.
Improvements
- Optimized code generation for object test to avoid type evaluation when it is not used and to replace a full-fledged object test with a plain voidness test if an expression type is known to conform to the object test local type at compile time.
Feature removed
Bug fixes
- runtime: Allowed the runtime to better handle externally created thread by not destroying them upon termination as externally created also means they should be externally killed.
- process: Fixed an issue with the library when redirecting inputs/outputs of the child process. Sometime we would be missing some characters and cause a memory corruption at the same time.
- compiler: Compiler now detects VDRS-4 errors when you redefine a repeatedly inherited routine in at least one but not all branches, but fail to provide a local definition.
- com/compiler: Renamed `eif_com.h' from the compiler delivery into `eif_com_exception.h' as it conflicts with `eif_com.h' from the EiffelCOM library.
- compiler: Fixed Makefile code generation issue on machine with many cores which could cause a C compilation error because some dependencies are missing in the Makefile targets.
User changes
- runtime: changed the way files are opened on Windows by ensuring that they cannot be inherited by child processes. This was necessary since one would need to wait for the child process to exit to remove files owned by the parent process.
- runtime: renamed `eif_thr_sleep' into `eif_sleep'.
