Eli Benderskybcb5f9f2018-09-19 05:15:46 -070018+ Version 2.17 (2016.10.29)
Eli Benderskyf29f92a2016-10-27 20:15:49 -070019
20 - Again functionality identical to 2.15 and 2.16; the difference is that the
21 tarball now contains Python files with properly set permissions.
22
Eli Benderskybcb5f9f2018-09-19 05:15:46 -070023+ Version 2.16 (2016.10.18)
Eli Benderskyf2275a62016-10-18 08:14:27 -070024
25 - Functionally identical to 2.15, but fixes a packaging problem that caused
26 failed installation (_build_tables wasn't rerun in the pycparser/ dir).

33 - PR #101: Added support for parsing pragmas into the AST.
34 - Additional fake headers and typedefs, manifest fixes (#97, #106, #111).
Eli Benderskyb912a582016-04-19 05:20:25 -070035 - Testing with Python 3.5 instead of 3.3 now (3.4 and 3.5 are the 3.x versions
36 tested).

44 tables (#84).
45 - Removed lcc's cpp and its license from the distribution. Using lcc's cpp

47 Windows.

Eli Benderskyb85d5612015-05-10 06:31:39 -070050
Eli Benderskyc830da82015-05-10 07:56:41 -070051 - Added support for offsetof() the way gcc implements it (special builtin

Eli Benderskybcb5f9f2018-09-19 05:15:46 -070058+ Version 2.12 (2015.04.21)
Eli Benderskyf1b2db22015-04-21 17:37:54 -070059
60 - This is a fix release for 2.11; the memory optimization with __slots__ on
61 Coord and AST nodes didn't take weakrefs into account, which broke cffi and
Eli Bendersky05c27822016-10-27 20:13:29 -070062 its many dependents (issue #76). Fixed by adding __weakref__ to __slots__.

81 contributed by Sye van der Veen in GitHub issue #1:
82
Eli Benderskyfebd20b2013-07-30 06:45:08 -070083 * Allow shadowing of types by identifiers in inner scopes.
Eli Bendersky3877c4c2013-07-13 06:54:04 -070084 * Allow struct field names to reside in a separate namespace and have
85 the same names as types.
86 * Allow duplicate typedefs in some cases to mimic real compiler behavior.
87
Eli Bendersky39219c12013-06-12 06:18:37 -070088 - c_generator error for ExprList in expression context.
89 - Assume default int type for functions whose argument or return types were
90 not specified.
91 - Relax the lexer a bit w.r.t. some integer suffixes and $ in identifier names
92 (which is supported by some other compilers).

Eli Bendersky645e2602012-12-25 06:21:08 -0800102 - The pycparser project has moved to Bitbucket. For this version, issue
103 numbers still refer to the old Googlecode project, unless stated otherwise.
104 Starting with the next version all issue numbers will refer to the new
105 Bitbucket project.
Eli Bendersky93352512012-12-24 20:18:33 -0800106 - pycparser now carries its PLY dependency along. The pycparser/ply directory
107 contains the source of PLY for the currently supported version. This makes
108 distribution and testing easier.

Eli Bendersky09fc2002012-08-10 07:41:42 +0300119 - Issue 73: initial support for #pragma directives. Consume them without

128 can also be used as a utility.
Eli Benderskyd9649812012-08-10 08:27:12 +0300129 - Issue 74: some Windows include paths were handled incorrectly.

142 - Issues 49 & 50: handle more escaped chars in paths to #line - "..\..\test.h".
143 - Support for C99 _Complex type.
144 - CGenerator moves from examples/ to pycparser/ as a first-class citizen, and
145 added some fixes to it. examples/c-to-c.py still stays as a convenience
146 wrapper.
147 - Fix problem with parsing a file in which the first statement is just a
148 semicolon.
149 - Improved the AST created for switch statements, making it closer to the
150 semantic meaning than to the grammar.
