|
1. CM version numbering added. This is an implementation of Lal's |
| 21 |
|
proposal for adding version numbers and version checking to .cm |
| 22 |
|
files. Lal said that his proposal was just that -- a proposal. |
| 23 |
|
For the time being I went ahead and implemented it so that people |
| 24 |
|
can comment on it. Everything is completely backward-compatible |
| 25 |
|
(except for the stable library format, i.e., new bootfiles!). |
| 26 |
|
|
| 27 |
|
As usual, see the CM manual for details. |
| 28 |
|
|
| 29 |
|
2. An alternative syntax for anchored paths has been implemented. |
| 30 |
|
Dave has recently voiced the same concerns that I had when I did |
| 31 |
|
this, so there should be some support. My take is that eventually |
| 32 |
|
I will let support for the current syntax (where anchors are |
| 33 |
|
"implicit") fade out in favor of the new, explicit syntax. |
| 34 |
|
In order to be backward-compatible, both old and new syntax are |
| 35 |
|
currently supported. |
| 36 |
|
|
| 37 |
|
Again, see the CM manual for details. |
| 38 |
|
|
| 39 |
|
3. Parallel make is trying to be slightly smarter: When the master |
| 40 |
|
process finds a "bottleneck", i.e., when there is only one |
| 41 |
|
compilation unit that can be compiled and everybody else is |
| 42 |
|
waiting on it, then it will simply compile it directly instead |
| 43 |
|
of clumsily telling one of the slaves to do it. |
| 44 |
|
|
| 45 |
|
4. Support for "unsharing" added. This is necessary in order to be |
| 46 |
|
able to have two different versions of the same library running |
| 47 |
|
at the same time (e.g., for trying out a new MLRISC while still |
| 48 |
|
having the old MLRISC linked into the current compiler, etc.) |
| 49 |
|
See the CM manual. |
| 50 |
|
|
| 51 |
|
5. Simple "makedepend" functionality added for generating Makefile |
| 52 |
|
dependency information. (This is rather crude at the moment. |
| 53 |
|
Expect some changes here in the future.) |
| 54 |
|
|
| 55 |
|
6. ".fun" added as a recognized suffix for ML files. Also documented |
| 56 |
|
explicitly in the manual that the fallback behavior (unknown suffix |
| 57 |
|
-> ML file) is not an official feature! |
| 58 |
|
|
| 59 |
|
7. Small changes to the pickler for stable libraries. |
| 60 |
|
|
| 61 |
|
8. Several internal changes to CM (for cleanup/improvement). |
| 62 |
|

|
!!!! NEW BINFILES !!!! |
