AngelScript 1.6.1b released

Andreas Jonsson · 2004-03-31T02:17:19

Finally managed to release the next version of AngelScript. This is the list of changes made since version 1.6.0: bug fix: There was a memory leak in the tokenizer (thanks Philip Love) bug fix: An exception occured when compiling method calls with objects as parameters (thanks Bartosz "Hans" Czuba) More code cleaned up BCONSTR and BDESTR are no longer used, instead BC_CALL is used BCONSTR, BDESTR, STRDEL, STRCPY, STRMOV, and STRWRT has been removed bug fix: break, continue, and return sometimes caused GenerateExceptionHandler() to fail since objects were destroyed more than once Added support for the for-loop (thanks Erik J Baran) Return values are now returned in a special register instead of on the stack Added bytecodes SRET4, SRET8, RRET4, RRET8 for managing the return register Added the calling convention asCALL_CDECL_OBJLAST for object methods. This calls the method as a normal C function with the object reference as the last parameter The asMETHOD and asFUNCTION types are now defined macros instead Removed the byte codes BCOPY, CALL is used instead Type behaviours must be registered as either asCALL_THISCALL or asCDECL_OBJLAST Pointers can now be compared with other pointers of the same type and level, or with 0 for null pointer tests It is now possible to register overloaded operators for all dual operators, except assignment operators Removed the byte codes STRCAT and STRCMP bstr is now handled with operator overloads bug fix: booleans are now 1 byte large, just as for C++ (thanks Josh "nihlist" Passenger for spotting the bug). Cleaned up the code that compiles overloaded operators and function calls Changed all the JMP instructions to use a 4 byte offset Function overloading for registered functions and object methods is now supported bug fix: When converting a constant to another type the value would become 0 I'll be updating the resources on the AngelScript page the next couple of days. Any questions, suggestions, or bug reports on version 1.6.1 may be posted here. Or directly to my e-mail. For the next version I've decided to include evaluation of simple lines of script without compilation. This has been requested by a couple of people as it would be extremely useful in for example quake style consoles. I'll also improve the ExecuteStep() function to support various types, like step into, step over, and step out of.

I''m pretty sure this is a bug in AngelScript.

I''ve sent you an e-mail so that we can try to figure out where it is.

bug fix: Declaring multiple global variables in the same statement resulted in compiler error (thanks Jayanth)
Added the tokens &&, ||, and ! as aliases to ''and'', ''or'', and ''not''
