The main new features of this release are:
- Generic Interface providing way to have the exact same code working on any registered type (like C++). Once the user registers the oplist of its own type, the provided function macros will handle this type like any other (using _Generic & typeof). See example However, the interface is still a WIP.
- Exception memory model with RAII support (using M_LET): The destructor of stack variables are called when the exception is triggered. Previously written code using M_LET is fully compatible. Add macro M_CHAIN_OBJ to handle partially initially object. In C++ mode, it uses C++ try/catch. Otherwise it uses setjmp/longjmp. Release Limitation: not all M*LIB functions are exception aware (some functions may leave the object in a partial state when an exception is triggered). See example
- Provide way of avoiding code duplication for multiple source C files (Using compiler extension) - either globally or per container instance. See M_USE_EXTERN_DECL & M_USE_DECL & M_USE_EXTERN_FINE_GRAINED and example and this
Other new features are:
- Make Function Object interface trivially copyable
- INIT_WITH support for shared pointer
- Add more Emplace support for other containers (Tuple, ...)
- Add string_it_set_ref & string_pop_u & string_cat_vprintf (by Kitterion)
- Change M_BY_NARGS semantics
- Add threads backend for FreeRTOS tasks.
- Add M_WORKER_SPAWN_DEF2 for providing specialization and type-safe variant of m_worker_spawn.
And the usual update:
- Add examples
- Improve coverage of test suite (>99%)
- Fix build issue with FreeBSD
- Fix bugs (in particular in parsing incorrect data)
- Remove new warnings by new version of compilers
- Improve documentation
