Release 1.9, patchlevel 6

Official release date: April 17th, 2006.

Features

This release of CodeSurfer introduces several new features:

• C API
  • The Core API for CodeSurfer is now available in C.
  • A tutorial for the C API is included in the release.
  • The full Scheme API remains available.
• Upgrade to EDG 3.7
  • This improvement to the C/C++ front end provides better compatibility with GNU and MSVC compilers.
• Memory-only building
  • Accommodates larger projects than can be handled by the conventional CodeSurfer build process, but the built projects are not saved on disk.
• Improved hardware support
  • Mouse wheels are now supported.
• Improved compiler support
  • MSVC 2005 is now supported.

Representation Changes

• Unnormalized ASTS
  • Added:
    • cc:type-expr
    • cc:builtin-operation, with subclasses cc:gnu-builtin-operation and cc:microsoft-builtin-operation
    • Classes for GNU complex numbers: cc:xconj, cc:real-part, cc:imag-part, cc:lvalue-real-part, cc:lvalue-imag-part.
  • Changed:
    • cc:vla-dealloc is now a subclass of cc:expr
    • cc:type no longer has :based-types attribute.
• Normalized ASTS
  • Added:
    • Complex number classes c:complex-conj, c:complex-real-part, c:complex-imag-part.
    • asm classes c:asm-entry, c:asm-generic-entry, c:asm-gnu-entry, c:asm-gnu-operands, c:asm-gnu-operand.
• New expression types
• Positions have changed for:
  • for
  • do...while
  • if...else
• A label node is now generated for each else.

API Changes

• Core API functionality now available in C, as well as Scheme.
• New procedures provide access to the compiler warning and error counts by source file and by project.
  • C:
    • cs_file_error_count(uid)
    • cs_file_warning_count(uid)
    • sdg_error_count()
    • sdg_warning_count()
  • Scheme:
    • (file-error-count uid)
    • (file-warning-count uid)
    • (sdg-error-count)
    • (sdg-warning-count)

GUI

• Changed:
  • Styles (fonts) can now inherit some or all of their properties from designated base styles (fonts).
  • Some GUI windows can now "remember" their previous geometry when reopened.

Fixes

The following have been fixed since 1.9p5:

• C++ variable names
  • Performance problems caused by extremely long compiler-generated names for C++ variables have been fixed.
• Front end
  • Performance improvements have reduced analysis times in some cases by many orders of magnitude.
  • Several causes of front end crashes have been eliminated.
• Library models
  • Some library models have been modified to improve precision.
