GNUstep Objective-C Runtime 1.0
|
||
|
|
===============================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is the first official release of the GNUstep Objective-C runtime (a.k.a.
|
||
|
|
libobjc2). This runtime was designed to support the features of Objective-C 2
|
||
|
|
for use with GNUstep and other Objective-C programs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You may obtain the code for this release from subversion at the following
|
||
|
|
subversion branch:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
svn://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/libs/libobjc2/1.0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Alternatively, a tarball is available from:
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The runtime library is responsible for implementing the core features of the
|
||
|
|
object model, as well as exposing introspection features to the user. The
|
||
|
|
GNUstep runtime implements Apple's Objective-C Runtime APIs, and a small number
|
||
|
|
of GCC APIs for legacy compatibility.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This library is based on the Étoilé Objective-C Runtime, an earlier research
|
||
|
|
prototype, and includes support for non-fragile instance variables,
|
||
|
|
type-dependent dispatch, and object planes. It is fully compatible with the
|
||
|
|
FSF's GCC Objective-C ABI and also implements a new ABI that is supported by
|
||
|
|
Clang and is required for some of the newer features.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Although the runtime has been tested by several people, and is being used
|
||
|
|
extensively by the Étoilé project, it is entirely new (MIT licensed) code and
|
||
|
|
may still contain bugs. If you come across any problems, please report them to
|
||
|
|
the GNUstep Developer mailing list <gnustep-dev@gnu.org>. A 1.1 release,
|
||
|
|
fixing any bugs that are encountered in wider deployment, is planned to
|
||
|
|
coincide with the next GNUstep release.
