EiffelStudio 7.1.x Releases

7.1.x.y (...)

New features

Improvements

• compiler: bug#17591, bug#17662 (test#pretty028) - Improved formatting of comments delimited with blank lines.
• vision2: one can now provide a hint of the size of the dropdown list of the combobox. The hint is currently only effective on Windows.
• vision2: Improved the default size of the dropdown list of a combobox so that all the text can be visible.
• compiler: test#valid275 (review#7289271) - Reduced the number of cases when VWEQ warning is reported, in particular by limiting it to the immediate code only.
• compiler: test#tilde002 (review#7297016) - Optimized code generation for the equality test that involves two values of different expanded types.

Feature removed

• compiler: test#vwmq001 - Disabled type qualifier in the manifest constant used to declare a constant attribute because the type is already specified in the feature header.

Bug fixes

• compiler: bug#17987 (test#incr421) - Applied application options to library classes during recompilation when required.
• compiler: bug#18045 (test#vwmq001) - Added detection and error report of VWMQ violation for manifest string constants with type qualifiers other STRING_8 and STRING_32.
• compiler: bug#18047 (test#valid274) - Avoided duplication of VFAC(1) error report.
• compiler: bug#18067 (test#attach096) - Reported VEVI error if an unqualified agent is created when not all the attributes are properly set.
• compiler: test#replication008 (review#7280256) - Ensured that replication information is preserved when feature is undefined in a descendant class so that inherited assertions are generated correctly.
• compiler: test#replication009 (review#7307045) - Avoided a crash when processing inherited preconditions of a replicated feature.
• compiler: test#exec338 (review#7297016) - Fixed code generation for equality tests that involve different basic types resulted from formal generic parameter substitutions.

User changes

• compiler: review#7289252 (test#replication009) - Enabled system freeze for precompiled library when all classes are requested to be compiled.
