- 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 Solaris and other SunOS distributions ========================================================= Current Status of Solaris Architectures: i386 : ok. AMD64 : ok. SPARC : ok. SPARC64 : bugs in dyncall (see BUGS). Supported Compilers: SunPro C/C++ compiler and GCC. Supported Build-Systems: configure/make, Makefile.embedded and CMake. Details ======= It has been ported and tested for x86 and sparc32/64 on Solaris 10/X86 using the SunPro compiler suite and sun's make. The same goes for OpenSolaris distributions - the library builds and runs fine on Nexenta x86 and x64. On Solaris, it also cross-builds for amd64 just fine, but the we don't have access to a x64 Solaris to run the tests. Building DynCall: ----------------- $ ./configure $ make It is also possible to use 'Makefile.embedded' for sun make, GNU make and BSD make: Build with SUN make and compilers from sun using Makefile.embedded: ------------------------------------------------------------------- $ make -f Makefile.embedded sun $ (cd test; make -f Makefile.embedded sun) Build for sparc64 with SUN make and compilers from sun using Makefile.embedded: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ make -f Makefile.embedded sun-64bit $ (cd test; make -f Makefile.embedded sun-64bit) Build with SUN make and GNU C compiler using Makefile.embedded: --------------------------------------------------------------- $ make -f Makefile.embedded sun-gcc $ (cd test; make -f Makefile.embedded sun-gcc) Build for sparc64 with SUN make and GNU C compiler using Makefile.embedded: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ make -f Makefile.embedded sun-gcc-64bit $ (cd test; make -f Makefile.embedded sun-gcc-64bit) NOTE: There are still issues with the sparc64 port on Solaris. Build with CMake, Sun make and SunPro for sparc64: -------------------------------------------------- $ cmake -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS=-m64 -DCMAKE_ASM_FLAGS=-m64 -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-m64 . $ make Installation ------------ $ make -f Makefile.embedded PREFIX=<some/prefix> install Tested Platforms ---------------- x86/amd64: - using Solaris 10 using SunPro Tools - using Nexenta (SunOS 5.11 kernel) using GNU tools sparc 32/64 bit: - SunOS 5.1 using SunPro and GCC on a Sun Fire V440 via developer account thanks to gwdg.de!
