GNUstep Objective-C Runtime 1.6.1
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
This is a point release to the seventh 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. Highlights of this release include:
|
|
|
|
- Improved support for ARC autorelease pools.
|
|
|
|
- Some small bug fixes in blocks support.
|
|
|
|
- Improvements to the Objective-C++ unified exception model support.
|
|
|
|
- Updated optimisation passes to work with LLVM 3.1
|
|
|
|
You may obtain the code for this release from subversion at the following
|
|
subversion branch:
|
|
|
|
svn://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/libs/libobjc2/1.6.1
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
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 backwards compatible
|
|
with the FSF's GCC 4.2.1 Objective-C ABI and also implements a new ABI that is
|
|
supported by Clang and Étoilé's LanguageKit 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 relatively new 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>.
