Eli Benderskya3af25f2016-04-19 05:18:51 -07003 - PR #121: Update bundled PLY version to 3.8
Eli Bendersky84336292016-03-19 05:48:10 -07004 - Issue #117: Fix parsing of extra semi-colons inside structure declarations.
5 - PR #109: Update c_generator to add {} around nested named initializers.
6 - PR #101: Added support for parsing pragmas into the AST.
7 - Additional fake headers and typedefs, manifest fixes (#97, #106, #111).
Eli Benderskyb912a582016-04-19 05:20:25 -07008 - Testing with Python 3.5 instead of 3.3 now (3.4 and 3.5 are the 3.x versions
9 tested).
Eli Bendersky99143602016-09-10 08:29:22 -070010 - PR #145: More complete support for offsetof()
Eli Bendersky84336292016-03-19 05:48:10 -070011
Eli Bendersky7f6b3402015-06-09 20:00:55 -070012+ Version 2.14 (09.06.2015)
Eli Benderskya1334e52015-05-18 06:24:05 -070013
Eli Bendersky7f6b3402015-06-09 20:00:55 -070014 - Added CParser parameter to specify output directory for generated parsing
15 tables (#84).
16 - Removed lcc's cpp and its license from the distribution. Using lcc's cpp
17 is no longer recommended, now that Clang has binary builds available for
18 Windows.

Eli Benderskyc5463bd2015-05-12 06:06:21 -070020+ Version 2.13 (12.05.2015)
Eli Benderskyb85d5612015-05-10 06:31:39 -070021
Eli Benderskyc830da82015-05-10 07:56:41 -070022 - Added support for offsetof() the way gcc implements it (special builtin
23 that takes a type as an argument).
24 - Added faked va_* macros (these are expected to come from stdarg.h)
25 - Added a bunch more fake headers and typedefs to support parsing C projects
26 like Git and SQLite without modifications to pycparser.
27 - Added support for empty initializer lists (#79).

Eli Benderskyf1b2db22015-04-21 17:37:54 -070029+ Version 2.12 (21.04.2015)
30
31 - This is a fix release for 2.11; the memory optimization with __slots__ on
32 Coord and AST nodes didn't take weakrefs into account, which broke cffi and
33 its many dependents (iseue #76). Fixed by adding __weakref__ to __slots__.

57 * Allow duplicate typedefs in some cases to mimic real compiler behavior.
58
Eli Bendersky39219c12013-06-12 06:18:37 -070059 - c_generator error for ExprList in expression context.
60 - Assume default int type for functions whose argument or return types were
61 not specified.

Eli Bendersky645e2602012-12-25 06:21:08 -080073 - The pycparser project has moved to Bitbucket. For this version, issue
74 numbers still refer to the old Googlecode project, unless stated otherwise.

76 Bitbucket project.
Eli Bendersky93352512012-12-24 20:18:33 -080077 - pycparser now carries its PLY dependency along. The pycparser/ply directory
78 contains the source of PLY for the currently supported version. This makes
