comparison ChangeLog @ 533:71c884e610f0
- integration of patches from Raphael Luba, Thekla, Inc.:
* integration of aggregate-by-value (struct, union) support patch for x64 (win and sysv)
* windows/x64 asm additions to specify how stack unwinds (help for debuggers, exception handling, etc.)
* see Changelog for details
- new calling convention modes for thiscalls (platform agnostic, was specific before)
* new signature character for platform agnostic thiscalls ('*' / DC_SIGCHAR_CC_THISCALL)
- dcCallF(), dcVCallF(), dcArgF() and dcVArgF():
* added support for aggregates-by-value (wasn't part of patch)
* change that those functions don't implicitly call dcReset() anymore, which was unflexible (breaking change)
- added macros to feature test implementation for aggregate-by-value and syscall support
- changed libdyncall_s.lib and libdyncallback_s.lib order in callback test makefiles, as some toolchains are picky about order
- doc:
* man page updates to describe aggregate interface
* manual overview changes to highlight platforms with aggregate-by-value support
- test/plain: replaced tests w/ old/stale sctruct interface with new aggregate one

| 6 dyncall: | |
| 7 o aggregate-by-value (struct, union) support for x64 (win and sysv; thanks Raphael Luba!) | |
| 8 o new aggregate arg interface DCaggr replacing stale DCstruct (latter had shortcomings, was | |
| 9 mostly unused as it lacked stable implementations, didn't handle unions, ...) | |
| 10 o new calling convention modes for thiscalls (platform agnostic DC_CALL_C_DEFAULT_THIS, as well as | |
| 11 DC_CALL_C_X64_{WIN64,SYSV}_THIS (needed to handle C++ ABI rules for returning aggregates by value) | |
| 12 o new signature character for platform agnostic thiscalls ('*' / DC_SIGCHAR_CC_THISCALL) | |
| 13 o dcCallF(), dcVCallF(), dcArgF() and dcVArgF() don't implicitly call dcReset() | |
| 14 anymore, which was unflexible (breaking change) | |
| 15 o added macros to feature test implementation for aggregate-by-value and syscall support | |
| 16 dyncallback: | |
| 17 o aggregate-by-value (struct, union) support for x64 (win and sysv; thanks Raphael Luba!) | |
| 18 o new aggregate arg interface DCaggr | |

| 21 tests: | |
| 22 o call_suite: simplified and extended to test also unsigned types, and _Bool | |
| 23 o callback_suite: refactored to be much more like call_suite test | |
| 24 o call_suite_aggrs: new test suite for calls with aggregate arguments and | |
| 25 return types (structs, unions and arrays as aggregate members) | |
| 26 o callback_suite_aggrs: new test suite, like call_suite_aggrs but for callbacks | |
| 27 o simplifications and refactoring to share more code (especially signature | |
| 28 and case generator) across test suites | |
| 29 doc: | |
| 30 o callconv section additions about aggregate-by-value passing for all platforms | |
| 31 o new Linux-Std-Base-specific PPC32/SysV section, as aggregate retval handling differs from | |
| 32 default SysV for such systems | |
| 33 o man page changes/additions to document new aggregate interfaces | |
| 34 o replaced API description in manual with references to the manpages, to | |
| 35 avoid duplication and keeping things in sync | |
| 36 o general clarifications and cleanup | |
