| 7df7b0 | 2014-10-03 | Per Hedbor | | Pike 8.1: Changes since Pike 8.0 (scratch area for future release notes)
|
| 949f72 | 2016-07-22 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| 2ac499 | 2011-03-09 | Martin Stjernholm | |
|
| dca676 | 2014-11-03 | Martin Nilsson | | New language features
---------------------
o Unlimited character constant size.
There is no longer any limit to the size of character constants,
e.g. 'acdefghijk' creates the bignum 0x61636465666768696a6b.
|
| a72ec6 | 2016-01-04 | Per Hedbor | | o 'auto' type added.
This is much like a strict typed mixed. The actual type is deduced
compile-time.
|
| 8e1049 | 2016-01-31 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | Typical use is as the type for variables in foreach when looping over
complexly typed values, or as the type in macro-defined functions and
similar.
|
| a72ec6 | 2016-01-04 | Per Hedbor | |
auto can be used as return type for a function, it will be the
|
| 2ee8bd | 2017-01-01 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | type-union of all the types of the return statements in the
|
| a72ec6 | 2016-01-04 | Per Hedbor | | function.
o typeof(X) can now be used as a type.
The main use case is in macros, but it might be useful for other
things as well (as an example in a typedef).
typedef typeof(Val.true)|typeof(Val.false) bool;
typeof, when used like this, behaves very much like the C++
decltype() expression.
|
| b87869 | 2019-12-21 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o Shorthand for int(val..val) added: int(val).
A syntax for when the range of an integer type only
contains a single value.
|
| 8ddaac | 2019-12-24 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o Shorthand for string(val..val) added: string(val).
A syntax for when the range of a string type only
contains a single value.
|
| 1bcfb7 | 2020-01-09 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o Syntax for specifying the length of array and string types.
Eg string(4bit: 8bit) is 8-bit strings of lengths 0-15.
|
| 854a97 | 2016-06-03 | Per Hedbor | | o ** operator added. It's exponentiation and works with most
combination of numerical types (int,float,Gmp.mpq,Gmp.mpf,Gmp.mpz)
`** and ``** operator overloading functions added.
This introduces one incompatible change: Previously the "pow"
function called a "_pow" function in the first argument if it was an
object. It has now been changed to also use `** (or, rather, pow()
|
| 56daad | 2016-06-05 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | is now implemented using predef::`**()).
|
| 854a97 | 2016-06-03 | Per Hedbor | |
|
| e80594 | 2017-12-31 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o Three pass compiler.
An extra pass of the compiler has been added. It is used to properly
resolve types in forward referring expressions, and is only run when
needed.
|
| 866ddb | 2016-11-02 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o #pragma disassemble
|
| fdde6b | 2017-01-16 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | This directive is now available even in pikes compiled --without-debug.
|
| 866ddb | 2016-11-02 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | The byte code output is now interleaved with the generated machine code
on selected architectures.
o Complain about redundant backslash escapes.
|
| 191132 | 2016-11-05 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o '__weak__' modifier added.
It is now possible to declare object variables to have weak references.
|
| 866ddb | 2016-11-02 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | |
|
| cbe130 | 2017-01-06 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o Support for arguments to implicit lambdas added.
Implicit lambdas now behave as if they were declared as
lambda(mixed ... __ARGS__).
|
| 4398bf | 2017-09-28 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | Support for this feature can be detected with #ifdef __ARGS__.
|
| 866ddb | 2016-11-02 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o Function local function declarations are now statements
(and not expressions). This means that there is no longer
any need to terminate them with a semicolon.
|
| 058aa4 | 2017-02-24 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o Anonymous class definitions are now always expressions.
o Function local class definitions are now statements
(and not expressions). This means that there is no longer
any need to terminate them with a semicolon.
|
| eeb581 | 2019-10-24 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o The inherit statement's argument is now a proper
constant expression. This means that it is possible
to dynamically (at compile-time) generate the value
to be inherited, eg with Pike.ProxyFactory().
|
| 866ddb | 2016-11-02 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o Complain about shadowed variant functions.
|
| 2fbcab | 2019-09-19 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o Syntax for generator functions added.
continue is now treated as a modifier, and causes such functions
to become generator functions, where calling the function sets
up a restartable function context.
continue may also preceed return statements, which causes
the generator function state to be saved before returning.
Alternatively the "function" Pike.yield() may be used to return
a value, and restart with a value from the restarter.
Restartable functions get the type signature
X fun(mixed|void value, function(mixed|void: void)|void resume_cb)
where X is the declared return type of the generator function,
value is the value to be returned by Pike.yield(), and resume_cb
|
| 8d7807 | 2019-12-26 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | is a function that will be called at the yield point. resume_cb
may be used to eg behave as if Pike.yield() had thrown an error.
|
| 2fbcab | 2019-09-19 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | |
|
| 866ddb | 2016-11-02 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o Machine code support for more architectures.
There's now machine code support for arm32 and arm64.
o Fixed multiple integer over- and underflow bugs.
|
| 2566ef | 2016-12-17 | Martin Nilsson | | o Extended sscanf %O
sscanf() is now able to parse all base types that sprintf %O can
output. It can now also parse most literal constants pike accepts,
including integers prefixed with 0x and 0b, and floating point
numbers in scientific notation.
|
| 493913 | 2017-09-09 | Martin Nilsson | | o Returning void
It is now possible to return void responses from void functions.
void a() { return; }
void b() { return a(); }
|
| 4398bf | 2017-09-28 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | |
|
| 0dafc8 | 2017-01-02 | Martin Nilsson | | Bug fixes
---------
|
| 3e9121 | 2019-12-25 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o Runtime
The runtime could get confused by PROGRAM_DESTRUCT_IMMEDIATE
objects having destruct callbacks under some circumstances.
|
| 0dafc8 | 2017-01-02 | Martin Nilsson | | o Operator functions
Calling operator functions with more than two arguments will now
work correctly for objects, where previously only the first two
objects where added.
|
| a6c485 | 2017-01-03 | Martin Nilsson | | When adding arrays, multisets and mappings, UNDEFINED will now
always be ignored. Previously it was only ignored when first in the
argument list, otherwise an exception would be thrown.
|
| 509c8c | 2017-01-06 | Martin Nilsson | | The LFUNs will now be called with a consistent number of
arguments. Pike implementations rarely implemented varargs on
operator LFUNs, so this change should address many potential hidden
errors.
|
| 3e9121 | 2019-12-25 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o Pike.Backend
Backend callbacks throwing errors could cause backends to
enter a state where they got stuck throwing "Backend already
running - cannot reenter.". This was typically triggered via
the Stdio.sendfile() result callback.
|
| 572402 | 2018-04-08 | Martin Nilsson | | o Protocols.HTTP.Server
The server module will now read payloads for HTTP PUT requests, just
|
| 6bd273 | 2018-04-09 | Martin Nilsson | | as any other method. Previously it would stop reading the body and
it was up to the caller to read enough data from the socket and
combine with already read data.
Setting "connection" header in the "extra_heads" to Request object
method response_and_finish() will now control if keep-alive should be
used or not. Otherwise it will be decided by the clients request
headers, as previously.
The headers "content-type", "content-range", "content-length",
"server", "date" and "last-modified" will not be added or
overwritten if provided in the "extra_heads".
Header names in "extra_heads" will not have their case modified.

|
| 0dafc8 | 2017-01-02 | Martin Nilsson | |
|
| 866ddb | 2016-11-02 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | Incompatible changes
--------------------
|
| 8f82ce | 2017-03-11 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o Sql.Sql is no longer a wrapper class, but a function.
The wrapper class has been obsoleted by introduction of the
new base class __builtin.Sql.Connection. Note that it is
still possible to use Sql.Sql as the type of connection objects.
|
| 5ce94e | 2019-10-23 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o Named classes are always statements.
As mentioned above, it is no longer possible to define a named
class in an expression. Such code has been observed, but none
where the name was actually used. Use an anonymous class instead.
o Anonymous classes are always expressions.
It used to be possible (but typically not useful) to define
an anonymous class as a statement. Add a name for the class.
|
| 866ddb | 2016-11-02 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o Gz.crc32 and Nettle.crc32c now only return positive results.
o glob() has changed.
The main incompatibilities are that [ and \ are now special
characters in the pattern, and if you check the return value against
1 instead of checking if it's true, and use an array as the first
argument you will have to change your code.
This is in order to extend the glob function to cover what
'standard' glob functions do:
glob() now accepts quotes (\* to match a single *, as an example)
and handles ranges ([abc] for a, b or c, [a-z0-9] for a single
character between a and z or 0-9
You can also negate a range using ^ or ! ([^a-zA-Z] as an example).
When the first argument (the pattern) to glob is an array, glob now
returns which pattern in the array matched.
o hash() has been changed to use siphash. The old hash function is
available under the name hash_8_0(). Note that this is not a
cryptographic hash function.
o Stdio.UDP()->send() no longer throws errors on EMSGSIZE and EWOULDBLOCK.
|
| 44910d | 2019-12-30 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o When a thread exits by throwing, the thrown value is propagated to
wait(). Previously it was sent directly to master()->handle_error().
|
| 866ddb | 2016-11-02 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | |
o String.trim_all_whites() renamed String.trim().
|
| f75069 | 2017-01-01 | Martin Nilsson | | o Floats are no longer by default sorted before added. This may reduce
the precision but increases the speed of adding large number of
floats by a factor of 500. Applications handling floats with large
|
| e05231 | 2017-10-13 | Chris Angelico | | differences in magnitude need to apply the appropriate sorting
|
| f75069 | 2017-01-01 | Martin Nilsson | | before arithmetics. As `+ was the only operator that performed
sorting, and functions like Array.sum did not, this was already a
concern.
|
| 866ddb | 2016-11-02 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | |
|
| 64d25f | 2017-01-04 | Martin Nilsson | | o Returning UNDEFINED from `+ and ``+ is not allowed and will cause an
exception.
|
| 7a05c5 | 2018-02-09 | Martin Nilsson | | o RegGetValue(), RegGetKeyNames(), RegGetKeyValues(), openlog(),
syslog() and closelog() have been moved to System.
|
| 2ee8bd | 2017-01-01 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | |
|
| f474c7 | 2019-12-27 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | New modules and functions
-------------------------
o predef::m_add()
This function adds (as opposed to inserts) an element to a multiset.
|
| 866ddb | 2016-11-02 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | |
|
| 3e6a54 | 2016-11-21 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o ADT.Scheduler & ADT.TreeScheduler
These are variants of ADT.Heap where elements typically aren't
removed from the heap.
|
| 866ddb | 2016-11-02 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o Apple.Keychain
|
| 3e6a54 | 2016-11-21 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | |
Parser for Apple Keychain format files (like the ones in
/System/Library/Keychains/).
|
| 866ddb | 2016-11-02 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o __builtin.Sql
|
| 3e6a54 | 2016-11-21 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | |
Generic base classes for Sql API modules.
|
| 866ddb | 2016-11-02 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o Filesystem.Zip
o Function.bind()
|
| 3e6a54 | 2016-11-21 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | |
Partially evaluate a function. Similar to Function.curry, but with
better granularity.
|
| 866ddb | 2016-11-02 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o Standards.HPack (RFC 7541)
o Stdio.FakePipe
|
| 3e6a54 | 2016-11-21 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | |
A simulated Stdio.Pipe.
|
| 866ddb | 2016-11-02 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o Parser.Markdown
o Crypto.Checksum
This module collect non-cryptographic checksums. Support for crc32,
adler32 and Castagnoli CRC (CRC32C).
NB: In the future these may be amended to support the Crypto.Hash API.
|
| 9c06a9 | 2018-05-15 | Martin Nilsson | | o Parser.ECMAScript
This module simply provides a token splitter for
ECMAScript/JavaScript.
|
| b8ba89 | 2019-12-31 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o Pike.DestructImmediate
Objects of classes that inherit Pike.DestructImmediate will be
destructed immediately on their references reaching zero (rather
than at some arbitrary time "soon"). This class should be used
for any classes that are (or hold) locks or similar.
o Pike.InhibitDestruct
Objects of classes that inherit Pike.InhibitDestruct may
control whether explicit destruct() calls should succeed
(or be delayed until later). Note that this class is just
a convenience API, and that this functionality may also
be implemented by hand. The intended use is for C-classes
that do not want their storage to be zapped eg during
library calls.
Note that it is not possible to inhibit destruction due
to running out of references or by the gc.
|
| 15273e | 2019-12-28 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o Pike.LiveBacktraceFrame
This is similar to Pike.BacktraceFrame, but refers two-way
to an active (or not) execution context. It can be used
to eg examine (and change) local variables, and is intended
for debugger use.
|
| 9ab7d0 | 2016-11-27 | Stephen R. van den Berg | | o Web.EngineIO & Web.SocketIO
|
| 866ddb | 2016-11-02 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o Protocols.HTTP2
o Bittorrent.DHT
o Standards.MsgPack
o Web.Auth & Web.Api
New features
------------
|
| 15273e | 2019-12-28 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o predef::backtrace()
predef::backtrace() now takes an optional argument that causes it
to return LiveBacktraceFrames (instead of BacktraceFrames), which
may be used to access local variables for the frame while they are
still in use. This is intended for debugger use.
|
| e17594 | 2020-01-01 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o predef::destruct()
lfun::_destruct() may now inhibit explicit destruction.
|
| 3c8e37 | 2017-10-07 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o predef::equal()
equal() on functions now checks if their definitions are same identifier
in the same program.
|
| 866ddb | 2016-11-02 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o predef::gc()
gc() called with a weak mapping as argument now removes weak references
that are only held by that mapping.
o ADT.Heap
- An indirection object ADT.Heap.Element has been added to make it
possible to optimize several heap operations.
- Added low_pop().
o Crypto & Nettle
- Added Curve25519 and EdDSA25519.
o Filesystem.Monitor
The filesystem monitoring system now uses accelleration via
Inotify et al.
o Gmp
- mpf is now implemented using gmpf if the library is available.
- Improved support for GMP 5.0 and later.
o GTK2
Multiple runtime fixes.
o JOSE (JSON Object Signing and Encryption)
Some low-level API support has been added to the Crypto and Web
modules to support parts of RFC 7515 - 7520.
o MasterObject
- Protect against the same file being compiled concurrently
in multiple threads.
- cast_to_program() and cast_to_object() should now be thread safe.
|
| f4b14d | 2017-06-18 | Martin Nilsson | | o CompilerEnvironment()->lock()
Access to the compiler lock.
o Crypto.ECC.Curve.Point
A point on an ECC curve.
|
| 866ddb | 2016-11-02 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o Parser.Pike
Support new language features.
|
| 15c17e | 2017-08-28 | Per Cederqvist | |
|
| dc92e3 | 2019-12-29 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o Protocols.DNS
- Protocols.DNS now supports encoding and decoding CAA RRs.
|
| 15c17e | 2017-08-28 | Per Cederqvist | |
|
| dc92e3 | 2019-12-29 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | - Classes derived from Protocols.DNS.server may now override
report_decode_error() and handle_decode_error() to change how
errors while decoding a DNS packet are reported and handled.
|
| 866ddb | 2016-11-02 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | |
o Protocols.WebSocket
Multiple API changes.
|
| 7a82ac | 2016-01-26 | Martin Nilsson | | o Random rewrite
The random functions have been rewritten to ensure security by
|
| f8800b | 2016-01-26 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | default. random_string() and random() now get their data directly
from the operating system random generator, i.e. /dev/urandom on
most unixen. This is about half the speed compared with the
random_string function in Pike 8.0, but is now as secure as the
system random generator.
|
| 7a82ac | 2016-01-26 | Martin Nilsson | |
For consumers of random data that have additional requirements,
different random generators are exposed in the new module
|
| f8800b | 2016-01-26 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | Random. The module has the following generators:
|
| 7a82ac | 2016-01-26 | Martin Nilsson | |
- Random.Interface
This is not actually a generator, but an interface class that is
inherited into all the other generators. It contains code that can
turn the output from the random_string method into random numbers
with different limits without introducing bias. It also contains
code for all the different variants of random() on different
types. This is currently not possible to implement in Pike code,
as the typing is too complicated and it is not possible to access
private/protected _random methods in objects.
- Random.System
This generator maps directly on top of the system random
generator. This is the default generator used for random() and
random_string().
- Random.Deterministic
|
| f8800b | 2016-01-26 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | This generator creates the same sequence of random numbers for a
|
| 7a82ac | 2016-01-26 | Martin Nilsson | | given seed, with good pseudo random properties.
- Random.Hardware
|
| f8800b | 2016-01-26 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | This generator accesses the hardware random generator, when
|
| 7a82ac | 2016-01-26 | Martin Nilsson | | available.
- Random.Fast
This generator takes entropy from the Random.System, but feeds
|
| f8800b | 2016-01-26 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | it into a cryptographic pseudo random number generator to be
|
| 7a82ac | 2016-01-26 | Martin Nilsson | | able to output data fast. This is not the default random number
|
| 8aa0f5 | 2016-03-19 | Martin Nilsson | | generator to avoid loading crypto code on every startup.
|
| 7a82ac | 2016-01-26 | Martin Nilsson | |
|
| f8800b | 2016-01-26 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | Comparing the different generators with each other gives the
following approximate speeds on a Linux system with hardware
random support:
|
| 7a82ac | 2016-01-26 | Martin Nilsson | |
Random.System 1.0
Pike 8.0 random_string 0.45
Random.Hardware 0.25
Random.Fast 0.20
Random.Deterministic 0.20
|
| 8aa0f5 | 2016-03-19 | Martin Nilsson | | Objects implementing the _random lfun now get two arguments, the
current random_string() and random() functions. This is convenient
for C-level functions that doesn't have to look up functions
themselves. Note that it is possible for a user to replace these
with non-conforming functions (returning values of the wrong type,
strings of the wrong length or shift size, and values outside the
given range) or even non-functions.
All code in Pike that uses random now uses the current random
functions (though in some cases fixed at object creation). This
allows for repeatable results if the random functions are replaced
with a deterministic random generator, such as
Random.Deterministic. Example:
Random.Deterministic rnd = Random.Deterministic( seed );
add_constant( "random_string", rnd->random_string );
add_constant( "random", rnd->random );

|
| 866ddb | 2016-11-02 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | - Support session tickets.
|
| 781fcd | 2016-05-13 | Per Hedbor | |
|
| 866ddb | 2016-11-02 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | - Support Negotiated FF-DHE.

| 781fcd | 2016-05-13 | Per Hedbor | |
|
| 866ddb | 2016-11-02 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | - Support client certificates.
|

|
| 866ddb | 2016-11-02 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | - Support ALPN.
|
| 781fcd | 2016-05-13 | Per Hedbor | |
|

|
| 920fe5 | 2016-07-01 | Martin Nilsson | |
|
| 866ddb | 2016-11-02 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | - SSL.File supports set_buffer_mode().
o Standards.PKCS
Support PKCS#8 private keys.
o String.Buffer & Stdio.Buffer
Added _search().

|
| 9c0bc1 | 2018-04-04 | Jonas Walldén | | - _sprintf() improvements: Thread.Mutex now prints the ID of the thread
holding the lock, and thread IDs are shown as hexadecimal numbers.
- Thread.Farm now supports a callback for thread creation and termination
for the purpose of tracking thread names.

|
| c4a0c9 | 2017-07-20 | Martin Nilsson | | o sprintf %x
%X and %x can now be used on 8-bit wide strings to get a hexadecimal
representation of their contents. Just calling sprintf("%x",data) is
the same as calling String.string2hex(data).
|
| cde614 | 2017-06-21 | Martin Nilsson | | o Unicode 10.0.0.
|
| 949f72 | 2016-07-22 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | |
|
| 2a42f9 | 2017-01-09 | Martin Nilsson | | o Unicode.is_whitespace()
This new function returns if a unicode character is a whitespace
characer or not.

|
| 32323f | 2016-03-27 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | Deprecated symbols and modules
------------------------------
o Sql.mysql_result and Sql.mysqls_result have been deprecated.
Use Sql.Result instead.
|
| 866ddb | 2016-11-02 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o call_function() has been deprecated. Use `()() instead.
|

|
| 2ee8bd | 2017-01-01 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | |
|
| dca676 | 2014-11-03 | Martin Nilsson | | Removed features and modules
----------------------------
o Compatibility for Pike versions before 7.8 is no longer available.
|
| a72ec6 | 2016-01-04 | Per Hedbor | | o GTK1 library is deprecated, so glue code is removed.
|
| 83a8f5 | 2015-11-09 | Martin Nilsson | | C-level API changes
-------------------
o The contract for functions is now changed so that a function is no
longer required to clean the stack. The topmost value of the stack
will be regarded as the return value and the rest of the items on
the stack, compared to before the function arguments were pushed,
will be popped and discarded. Efuns still have to clean their stack
as previously.
|
| d6d66b | 2019-10-22 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o Object destructor callbacks may now run during pop_stack() and
pop_n_elems(). This means that code must be prepared for arbitrary
state changes after having called them.
|
| 83a320 | 2016-01-29 | Martin Nilsson | | o Removed add_function, pike_add_function, pike_add_function2,
|
| 4903e8 | 2016-01-30 | Martin Nilsson | | simple_add_variable, map_variable and MAP_VARIABLE. This removes the
remaining few API:s where text types were used. Use ADD_FUNCTION and
|
| f1dbf0 | 2016-01-29 | Martin Nilsson | | PIKE_MAP_VARIABLE instead.
|
| 83a320 | 2016-01-29 | Martin Nilsson | |
|
| 118000 | 2016-03-19 | Martin Nilsson | | o Removed the functions my_rand and my_srand. Use the random functions
|
| 8aa0f5 | 2016-03-19 | Martin Nilsson | | on the stack for _random lfuns, the push_random_string or look up
|
| 118000 | 2016-03-19 | Martin Nilsson | | the random function from get_builtin_constants(). For deterministic
pseudo random, create a private Random.Deterministic object.
|
| 8aa0f5 | 2016-03-19 | Martin Nilsson | |
|
| 866ddb | 2016-11-02 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o The preprocessor has been converted into a cmod, and been modified
to use more standard Pike datatypes.
o The preprocessor-specific hashtable implementation has been removed.
o The gdb_backtraces() function is now available also --without-debug.
o There's now support to block mapping hashtables from being shrunk
on map_delete().
|
| 35992b | 2018-01-18 | Martin Nilsson | | o guaranteed_memset() is replaced with secure_zero() which fills a
buffer with zero. On x86 SSE2 is used to zero the memory without
loading it into the CPU cache, as this function is typically used
before calling free() on memory with cryptographic key data.
|
| d6d66b | 2019-10-22 | Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) | | o The GC marker hash table has been removed. For types which require
GC markers, they are now allocated as part of the data type. Such
structures must now start with GC_MARKER_MEMBERS (which includes
eg the refs field). See "gc_header.h" for details.
This change significantly improves GC performance (up to a factor
of 2 in some situations).
