GNUstep Objective-C Runtime 1.7
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
This is a point release to the eighth 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:
|
|
|
|
- A new CMake-based build system
|
|
|
|
- Added specialised property accessor functions and support for atomic
|
|
properties with C++ non-POD types.
|
|
|
|
- A new exception implementation providing better integration with foreign
|
|
exceptions (e.g. C++ exceptions) (TODO)
|
|
|
|
- MIPS64 support in the assembly routines (TODO)
|
|
|
|
- Updated optimisation passes to work with LLVM 3.2
|
|
|
|
You may obtain the code for this release from subversion at the following
|
|
subversion branch:

|
|
|
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.
