CHANGELOG.md

Version 1.0.0 RC7

Changes:

• Removed support for implicit polyglot types for local variables as the availability of type information is not guaranteed. Explicit polyglot casts are now strictly required (polyglot_as_typed). See docs/INTEROP.md and polyglot.h for more details.

Version 1.0.0 RC6

New features:

• Support for IR-level debugging
• New polyglot cast functions for primitive array types.
• Support for function pointer members in polyglot_as_typed.

Version 1.0.0 RC5

New features:

• Support the __builtin_debugtrap function based on LLVM's @llvm.debugtrap intrinsic

Improvements:

• Support "zero-length array at end of struct" pattern when accessing polyglot values as structs.
• Improved performance of global variable access.
• Improved support for vectorized bitcode operations.

Version 1.0.0 RC4

No changes.

Version 1.0.0 RC3

New features:

• Dynamic polyglot cast functions polyglot_from_typed and polyglot_as_typed.

Version 1.0.0 RC2

New features:

• Use dynamic linker semantics when loading multiple bitcode files.
• Support ELF files with embedded LLVM bitcode.
• Pointers to bitcode functions can now be called from other languages.

New polyglot builtins:

• polyglot_eval_file
• polyglot_java_type
• polyglot_remove_member
• polyglot_remove_array_element
• polyglot_can_instantiate
• polyglot_new_instance

Improvements:

• Support polyglot values in all pointer operations.

Version 1.0.0 RC1

New features:

• New API for conversion of user-defined native structs from and to polyglot values.

Version 0.33

New features:

• Support for bitcode of LLVM version 6.0.
• New API for accessing polyglot values from C (polyglot.h).

Changes:

• The libc++ dependency is now optional and only required for running C++ code. libc++abi is no longer required.
