Subject: Objective Caml 1.01
Date: Wed, 12 Jun 1996 17:35:03 +0200 (MET DST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <199606121535.RAA01413@pauillac.inria.fr> (raw)
Release 1.01 of Objective Caml is now available.
This is a bug-fix release that corrects the main problems
reported with 1.00. The main changes are:
* Object-oriented extensions:
instance variables can now be omitted in class types;
some error messages have been made clearer;
several bugs fixes.
* Typing: better report of type incompatibilities;
non-generalizable type variables in a struct...end no longer flagged
immediately as an error;
name clashes during "open" avoided.
* Fixed bug in output_value where identical data structures
could have different external representations; this bug caused wrong
"inconsistent assumptions" errors when checking compatibility of
interfaces at link-time.
* Standard library: fixed bug in Array.blit on overlapping array sections.
* Unmarshaling from strings now working.
* ocamlc, ocamlopt: new flags -intf and -impl to force compilation as
an implementation/an interface, regardless of file extension;
overflow bug on wide-range integer pattern-matchings fixed.
* ocamlc: fixed bytecode generation bug causing problems with compilation
units defining more than 256 values
* ocamlopt, all platforms:
fixed GC bug in "let rec" over data structures;
link startup file first, fixes "undefined symbol" errors with some
libraries.
* ocamlopt, Intel x86:
more efficient calling sequence for calling C functions;
floating-point wars, chapter 5: don't use float stack for holding
float pseudo-registers, stack-allocating them is just as efficient.
* ocamlopt, Alpha and Intel x86: more compact calling sequence for garbage
collection.
* ocamllex: generated automata no longer use callbacks for refilling
the input buffer (works better with threads); character literals
correctly skipped inside actions.
* ocamldep: "-I" directories now searched in the right order
* Thread library: incompatibilities with callbacks, signals, and
dynamic linking removed; scheduling bug with Thread.wait fixed.
* New "dbm" library, interfaces with NDBM.
The complete sources, binaries for Windows, and diffs from 1.00 are
