Changes for version 0.03

  • Tracked down the LLP64 (32-bit long, 64-bit long long) issue down to using an unsigned long in the .xs get_* macro. Fixed. After v0.02, pure 32-bit and pure 64-bit systems would work, but 64-bit Perl on 32-bit O/S didn't. It should work now.
  • Allow Omega to encode 0 - ~0 instead of 0 - ~0-1. All codes are full range.
  • Better use of const pointers.
  • Code run through valgrind.
  • More consistent error status.
  • On code errors or reading off end of stream, position should remain unchanged (if they trap the croak). Many codes have changes to make this happen, and a new test is added to find a lot of these issues. It is not complete.
  • Added examples, mainly copied from Data::BitStream.
  • New fheader() and new(fheader => ...) methods added to finish off the compatibility with Data::BitStream in file I/O.
