2
3 - Issue #117: Fix parsing of extra semi-colons inside structure declarations.
4 - PR #109: Update c_generator to add {} around nested named initializers.
5 - PR #101: Added support for parsing pragmas into the AST.
6 - Additional fake headers and typedefs, manifest fixes (#97, #106, #111).

Eli Bendersky7f6b3402015-06-09 20:00:55 -07008+ Version 2.14 (09.06.2015)
Eli Benderskya1334e52015-05-18 06:24:05 -07009
Eli Bendersky7f6b3402015-06-09 20:00:55 -070010 - Added CParser parameter to specify output directory for generated parsing
11 tables (#84).
12 - Removed lcc's cpp and its license from the distribution. Using lcc's cpp
13 is no longer recommended, now that Clang has binary builds available for
14 Windows.

Eli Benderskyc5463bd2015-05-12 06:06:21 -070016+ Version 2.13 (12.05.2015)
Eli Benderskyb85d5612015-05-10 06:31:39 -070017
Eli Benderskyc830da82015-05-10 07:56:41 -070018 - Added support for offsetof() the way gcc implements it (special builtin
19 that takes a type as an argument).
20 - Added faked va_* macros (these are expected to come from stdarg.h)
21 - Added a bunch more fake headers and typedefs to support parsing C projects
22 like Git and SQLite without modifications to pycparser.
23 - Added support for empty initializer lists (#79).

Eli Benderskyf1b2db22015-04-21 17:37:54 -070025+ Version 2.12 (21.04.2015)
26
27 - This is a fix release for 2.11; the memory optimization with __slots__ on
28 Coord and AST nodes didn't take weakrefs into account, which broke cffi and
29 its many dependents (iseue #76). Fixed by adding __weakref__ to __slots__.

48 contributed by Sye van der Veen in GitHub issue #1:
49

53 * Allow duplicate typedefs in some cases to mimic real compiler behavior.
54
Eli Bendersky39219c12013-06-12 06:18:37 -070055 - c_generator error for ExprList in expression context.
56 - Assume default int type for functions whose argument or return types were
57 not specified.

Eli Bendersky645e2602012-12-25 06:21:08 -080069 - The pycparser project has moved to Bitbucket. For this version, issue
70 numbers still refer to the old Googlecode project, unless stated otherwise.

72 Bitbucket project.
Eli Bendersky93352512012-12-24 20:18:33 -080073 - pycparser now carries its PLY dependency along. The pycparser/ply directory
74 contains the source of PLY for the currently supported version. This makes

113 wrapper.
114 - Fix problem with parsing a file in which the first statement is just a
115 semicolon.
116 - Improved the AST created for switch statements, making it closer to the
117 semantic meaning than to the grammar.
