Eli Bendersky7f6b3402015-06-09 20:00:55 -07009+ Version 2.14 (09.06.2015)
Eli Benderskya1334e52015-05-18 06:24:05 -070010
Eli Bendersky7f6b3402015-06-09 20:00:55 -070011 - Added CParser parameter to specify output directory for generated parsing
12 tables (#84).
13 - Removed lcc's cpp and its license from the distribution. Using lcc's cpp
14 is no longer recommended, now that Clang has binary builds available for
15 Windows.

Eli Benderskyc5463bd2015-05-12 06:06:21 -070017+ Version 2.13 (12.05.2015)
Eli Benderskyb85d5612015-05-10 06:31:39 -070018
Eli Benderskyc830da82015-05-10 07:56:41 -070019 - Added support for offsetof() the way gcc implements it (special builtin
20 that takes a type as an argument).
21 - Added faked va_* macros (these are expected to come from stdarg.h)
22 - Added a bunch more fake headers and typedefs to support parsing C projects
23 like Git and SQLite without modifications to pycparser.
24 - Added support for empty initializer lists (#79).

Eli Benderskyf1b2db22015-04-21 17:37:54 -070026+ Version 2.12 (21.04.2015)
27
28 - This is a fix release for 2.11; the memory optimization with __slots__ on
29 Coord and AST nodes didn't take weakrefs into account, which broke cffi and
30 its many dependents (iseue #76). Fixed by adding __weakref__ to __slots__.

54 * Allow duplicate typedefs in some cases to mimic real compiler behavior.
55
Eli Bendersky39219c12013-06-12 06:18:37 -070056 - c_generator error for ExprList in expression context.
57 - Assume default int type for functions whose argument or return types were
58 not specified.

73 Bitbucket project.
Eli Bendersky93352512012-12-24 20:18:33 -080074 - pycparser now carries its PLY dependency along. The pycparser/ply directory
75 contains the source of PLY for the currently supported version. This makes

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