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 Bendersky7f6b3402015-06-09 20:00:55 -070011+ Version 2.14 (09.06.2015)
Eli Benderskya1334e52015-05-18 06:24:05 -070012
Eli Bendersky7f6b3402015-06-09 20:00:55 -070013 - Added CParser parameter to specify output directory for generated parsing
14 tables (#84).
15 - Removed lcc's cpp and its license from the distribution. Using lcc's cpp
16 is no longer recommended, now that Clang has binary builds available for
17 Windows.

Eli Benderskyc5463bd2015-05-12 06:06:21 -070019+ Version 2.13 (12.05.2015)
Eli Benderskyb85d5612015-05-10 06:31:39 -070020
Eli Benderskyc830da82015-05-10 07:56:41 -070021 - Added support for offsetof() the way gcc implements it (special builtin
22 that takes a type as an argument).
23 - Added faked va_* macros (these are expected to come from stdarg.h)
24 - Added a bunch more fake headers and typedefs to support parsing C projects
25 like Git and SQLite without modifications to pycparser.
26 - Added support for empty initializer lists (#79).

Eli Benderskyf1b2db22015-04-21 17:37:54 -070028+ Version 2.12 (21.04.2015)
29
30 - This is a fix release for 2.11; the memory optimization with __slots__ on
31 Coord and AST nodes didn't take weakrefs into account, which broke cffi and
32 its many dependents (iseue #76). Fixed by adding __weakref__ to __slots__.

Eli Bendersky3877c4c2013-07-13 06:54:04 -070054 * Allow struct field names to reside in a separate namespace and have
55 the same names as types.
56 * Allow duplicate typedefs in some cases to mimic real compiler behavior.
57
Eli Bendersky39219c12013-06-12 06:18:37 -070058 - c_generator error for ExprList in expression context.
59 - Assume default int type for functions whose argument or return types were
60 not specified.

75 Bitbucket project.
Eli Bendersky93352512012-12-24 20:18:33 -080076 - pycparser now carries its PLY dependency along. The pycparser/ply directory
