EiffelStudio 6.3.x Releases

6.3.x

Placeholder for new stuff since last intermediate release.

New features

• base: Added `sleep' to EXECUTION_ENVIRONMENT and made `sleep' from THREAD_CONTROL obsolete.

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.

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.
