16.11.x.x

New features

Improvements

  • EiffelStudio: Configuration option "Are types attached by default?" defaults to True when reading non-void-safe projects so that if the project is changed to be void-safe, the recommended default for attachment status of class types without marks is used.
  • compiler: Supported nested inlining of a selected set of features from SPECIAL in finalized mode: base_address, clear_all, copy_data, count, item, overlapping_move, non_overlapping_move, put.
  • Library (Base): Add ability to change the start position when storing/retrieving using a SED_MEMORY_READER_WRITER.

Feature removed

  • EiffelStudio: Removed option "Are types attached by default?" from project settings dialog. Potential incompatibility: old Eiffel configuration files (ECF) that rely on "class types are detachable by default" policy and migrate to "attached by default" policy will need to be changed directly by editing the file, not from EiffelStudio.

Bug fixes

  • runtime: Fixed a bug in the CECIL macro eif_attribute_type that always returned EIF_POINTER_TYPE instead of the type code corresponding to the actual attribute type.

User changes

  • library: Marked {ANY}.as_attached as obsolete to simplify removal of calls to it when transition to void-safe code is finished.
