theraven e05c9c2ff5 More GC fixes 15 years ago
theraven fcc47bc7ce Fix building without GC support. Still need to make sure that some of the GC functions always work, since they are expected to be no-ops in non-GC mode. 15 years ago
theraven 929f8f95b4 Improved a few GC functions.
Added objc-auto.h header, providing (documented) public interfaces to this
functionality.

theraven ad16172625 First pass at implementing Apple-compatible GC using Boehm. Still needs some tidying, but the following work:
- __strong pointers, preventing objects from being freed

_ __weak pointers are automatically freed when the last remaining __strong pointer goes away

- objc_gc_{retain,release}_np() functions, which can be used to implement CFRetain() and CFRelease() (adds an reference count - the object will not be collected until after its last retain is gone.

theraven d12de81cd6 Remove opts from default build - they must now be explicitly built.
Don't crash if objc_disposeClassPair() is called on a class that is not get
registered with the runtime.

theraven 649ce9dd7f Updated release announcement.
Made the LLVM optimisations build by default (if LLVM is installed).

theraven 789219a2cb Expose the low memory profile as an option in the dtable. 15 years ago
theraven d7056f6de2 Simplify @synchronize() and improve efficiency (space and time). 15 years ago
theraven 24de067017 Default to building without the legacy APIs, now GNUstep doesn't require them. 15 years ago
theraven e198597bd3 Added support for associative references. Modified sync code to use this. 15 years ago
theraven d51500184c More cleanups. Stop using __ identifiers for internal stuff now that it's properly marked private and we don't have to worry about conflicts. 15 years ago
theraven c2f572f9a1 Set the makefiles in trunk back to non-release mode. 15 years ago
theraven b76b4be925 Disable selector type mismatch warnings, for the release. 15 years ago
thebeing 901c3b6a1c Fix linking libobjcxx when libobjc has not yet been installed. 15 years ago
theraven 95ef5a93f9 Always use the first version of a class that's loaded twice until the merging code is a bit better tested. 15 years ago
theraven 23b26820f5 Make it easier to suppress mismatched selector warnings. It's useful for the runtime to tell you when your code is bad. Not so useful for it to tell you when someone else's code is bad... 15 years ago
theraven 600e970dea Separate ObjC++ support out into libobjcxx. Now code that doesn't need ObjCXX support can safely ignore it again. 15 years ago
theraven 7e71ffe24d Use correct pthread flag on OpenBSD.
Patch by Sebastian Reitenbach!

theraven 06ff4be6a9 More build system tidies. 15 years ago
theraven 496c66bd0b Fix linker errors. 15 years ago
thebeing ee7817cf57 Implement a hook that allows the compiler to register the aliases used with the
@compatibility_alias directive so that they can be resolved at runtime.

theraven ed9d0f33c9 Actually install the header that's referenced. 15 years ago
theraven 7e465eb325 Tweak building without ObjC++ support a bit. 15 years ago
theraven 73e1e2934b It turns out that Apple chose some confusing and non-intuitive semantics for
catching Objective-C objects in C++ catch statements (i.e. they follow
Objective-C semantics, not C++ semantics, irrespective of whether you use C++
or ObjC syntax).  We now default to Apple-compatible behaviour, but provide a
function that allows users to select the sane semantics if they prefer.

Added a capability bit for the unified exception model, so code can require it.
This is not really required, since any code using it will link against the
ObjC++ personality function and will get a linker failure if it isn't supported.

Also enabled Objective-C++ stuff by default.  This adds a dependency on the C++
standard library (actually on libsupc++, but GNUstep Make wants to link against
libstd++ anyway), which is not ideal.  It can be disabled with:

$ gmake objectiver-cxx=no

I suggest that this is only done by people who know that they will never want
Objective-C++ support.

theraven e0719a9c62 Added Objective-C++ exception handling support. Allows throwing Objective-C objects with throw or @throw and catching them with catch() or @catch. 15 years ago
theraven df4570b90e Change language dialect to gnu99 from c99 - earlier commit required this, but I
forgot to commit the GNUmakefile change.  Note: the anonymous structure field
extension that requires this is part of C1X, so we can probably change this to
--std=c11 once C1X is actually finalised.

theraven 8db63b976f Initial work on developer mode (allows classes to be replaced at run time with new versions, by cooperating IDEs). This support is part of ongoing work to provide fix-and-continue functionality with Clang / Cling and LanguageKit. 15 years ago
theraven 4ab4b4033b Bumped version to 1.1 15 years ago
theraven a83428b883 Move toydispatch into libobjc2.

Initial work on clang-specific makefile.

not the machine the code will run on.
