- 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

Building DynCall on Minix 3
===========================


Status:
-------
- Compiles under GNU tool-chain on Minix 3.1.8 using script for Makefile.generic
  or by building specific make targets
- dyncall: tests run ok.
- dyncallback: minor bugs on dyncallback (some cases fail)
- dynload: unsupported due to missing dynamic linker.
- Integration of ACK tool-chain is in progress but not functional at the moment...


Building:
---------

1) using configure and make:
$ ./configure
$ make libdyncall libdyncallback

2) or using build script for gcc (using Makefile.generic):
$ sh buildsys/scripts/batch-build-minix.sh


Minix facts:
------------
- posix make
- ACK (Amsterdam Compiler Kit) compiler for C, Modula-2 and Pascal
  using own Assembly format
- ACK Assembler:
   if very first character is '#' - C preprocessor is run..

- Minix 32-bit: 
- ACK 32-bit compiler: long long is not supported
- Minix 16-bit: not yet reviewed...
