Revision history for FFI-Platypus
2.07 2023-03-14 06:59:09 -0600
- Production release identical to 2.06_01
2.06_01 2023-02-27 10:13:25 -0700
- Refactor Alien::FFI fallback mode to delete it as a prereq when it is not
needed instead of adding it when it is. This way the CPAN river rating
for Alien::FFI more closely reflects reality (gh#391)
2.05 2022-11-15 16:59:05 -0700
- Documentation improvements (gh#387, gh#388)
2.04 2022-11-05 07:14:35 -0600
- Documentation improvements (gh#372, gh#378, gh#380, gh#381, gh#382, gh#383,
gh#384, gh#386)
2.03 2022-10-27 21:19:06 -0600
- Add hook for detecting bundled Zig project. You will need to install
FFI::Build::File::Zig to use it. (gh#379)
2.02 2022-10-24 10:43:09 -0600
- The closure method now accepts undef as an argument. It just returns undef
which should be accepted by any function that takes a closure. (gh#376, gh#377)
2.01 2022-08-30 15:37:22 -0600

- Production release identical to 1.91_01
1.91_01 2022-07-05 07:41:07 -0400
- Setting the env environment V variable to a true value now will override the
verbose option on FFI::Build. This allows modules that use it to display verbose
output without having to change the .fbx files. This mirrors the behavior of
how FFI-Platypus itself works. (gh#369)

a pointer argument, which is roughly equivalent to an array type with
no size, example: sint[] (gh#227, gh#332)

1.34 2020-10-23 09:04:46 -0600
- Fixed bug in in record meta object which expressed itself on at least
some platforms (gh#287, gh#288)
1.33 2020-09-28 10:47:26 -0600
- FFI::Platypus::Declare is no longer part of this distribution. It is
now available from FFI-Platypus-Declare instead. It has already
been discouraged for quite some time. (gh#285)
- Fix bug where bundled .so name could incorrectly get double colons (::)

- Dropping support for Perl 5.8.1, 5.8.2 and 5.8.3, and the threaded version
of 5.10.0. For now Platypus will install on these versions of Perl, but a
warning will be issued, along with a 45s sleep at configure time and a 180s
sleep at test time. Please upgrade to 5.8.4 (or preferrably 5.32).
Starting July 1st, Platypus will refuse to install on these elderly Perls.
(gh#271, gh#272)
1.29 2020-06-06 08:40:10 -0600

them to define custom types (gh#253)
1.23_01 2020-05-01 11:13:59 -0600
- Custom record arguments are kept around for the lifetime of the
function call, meaning they don't have to be explicitly kept by
the custom code wrapper as long as they aren't used after the
function returns (gh#236, gh#247).
- This completes support for custom record types. This is a
release candidate.
1.22_01 2020-05-01 08:16:25 -0600

(either via pointer or by reference) is excluded, but should
be added soon (gh#214, gh#215, gh#235)

- Internal refactor (gh#214)
1.14_01 2020-04-17 09:14:25 -0600

1.10 2020-02-05 16:39:51 -0700
- On OS X, check if homebrew + libffi is installed and use
that instead of falling back on Alien::FFI (libffi isn't
installed by homebrew in a way that it can be found by
without specifically looking for it).
- Die with an appropriate diagnostic if there is a syntax or
runtime error in an .fbx file (FFI::Build).
(djerius++ gh#223)

are now properly marked as EXPORT. No code changes needed as long
as you are using the header file (gh#207)

issue a warning until FFI::Platypus 1.00 is released (gh#135)
- Added support for pass-by-value records (gh#57,gh#92,gh#135)
this requires Type Parser version 1

this requires Type Parser version 1
- Fix bug where Math::LongDouble and Math::Complex detection
wasn't being made for array and pointers of longdouble,
complex_float and complex_double types. (gh#135)
- For functions: allow a single 'void' argument type to indicate
an empty list of arguments (a la old C style). The 'void'
type is otherwise now illegal as an argument type (ie when
there is more than one argument) and will throw an exception
when the function is created. Previously a warning would
be issued when the funtion was called. (gh#140, gh#142)
0.90 2019-07-01 09:47:31 -0400

0.86 2019-03-02 16:42:12 -0500
- Production release identical to 0.85_01
0.85_01 2019-03-01 20:38:22 -0500
- Fix configure bug that misconfigured Perls with 32bit IVs
resulting in truncated 64bit values. (gh#117, gh#118).
This was a regression, probably introduced around 0.72
or so. The test t/gh117.t has been added to avoid a

- Add unstick method to FFI::Platypus::Closure
0.57_01 2018-11-04 15:36:33 -0500
- Major refactor of the internals of the type system. The API is
the same but some type meta-data (which was never guaranteed
to stay the same) may have changed.
* The internal representation of types is much smaller (4 bytes
for simple types), which can save a lot of memory if you have
lots of types.
* Fixed width strings example: `string(32)` are now internally
treated the same as a record with no class `record(32)`.
Previously these were separate types but worked identically,
this removes duplicate code.
* Fixed width string arguments to a closure are now read-only,
Usually you should be copying these arguments anyway.
* Removed the internal type "exotic float" which includes
`long double`, `complex float` and `complex double`. These are
now grouped internally with other scalar types.
- Merge FFI::Platypus::Type::StringArray into this distribution
0.56 2018-09-03 09:17:42 -0400
- lib method accepts code reference which will be called immediately
and results added to lib list
0.55 2018-08-29 10:37:36 -0400
- Production release identical to 0.54_03
0.54_03 2018-08-28 10:46:04 -0400
- Additional test diagnostics.
0.54_02 2018-08-28 05:30:04 -0400
- record as closure argument is now read-only. This makes
sense since such records are actually copies. For when
you need a non-copy use an opaque type instead. This allows
records with rw strings (although they will be ro in the
closure).
0.54_01 2018-08-16 03:27:31 -0400
- Experimental: allow record as closure argument
Records with string_rw are not supported, and
will likely crash your script if you try to use
them. Support for such records is probably not in
the cards, but a future version may disallow them
to avoid crashes.
- Closure objects now have a sticky method, similar to what
is already available in the discouraged FFI::Platypus::Declare
interface
0.53 2018-08-15 20:38:29 -0400

- Testing: moved libtest to t/ffi, using the same convention as FFI::Build
- Added FFI::Platypus::DL. Previously this had been (under a different
name) a private interface to libdl used by FFI::Platypus under the covers.
On Windows it is an emulation layer over the native equivalents.
0.51 2018-08-09 03:14:15 -0400
- update the package method to work with FFI-Build

unless you were building on my machine. This is what the previous
version should have been.
0.49_02 2018-05-18 22:08:43 -0400
- Fix version mismatch error with XS
0.49_01 2018-05-18 16:16:13 -0400
- Move the source repository for this project into the GitHub org Perl5-FFI
The new URL is https://github.org/Perl5-FFI/FFI-Platypus
- Remove dependency on JSON::PP, use Data::Dumper for build configuration.
This may improve startup performance.
0.48 2018-02-20 09:37:32 -0500
- setting lib => undef is now the same as setting it to [undef] in the
constructor (previously lib => undef was ignored)
0.47 2017-03-23 18:26:01 -0400
- Fix installer bug where My::ShareConfig was accidentally declared as a
prereq

- Support for MSYS2
0.41 2016-04-09 16:03:07 -0400
- For the return value undef can be passed in to mean 'void'.
- Fixed installer bug where ABI probe would silently fail if /tmp
was mounted noexec
- Avoid unnecessary downgrade on when Perl is compiled to use longdouble
0.40 2015-08-29 08:45:19 -0400
- Closure declarations ignore white space between () and ->
0.39 2015-08-24 03:23:10 -0400
- Fixed spurious warning: auto loading of record class (via
FFI::Platypus::Record) was ALWAYS warning, when it should have only been
warning on load failure.
0.38 2015-08-13 17:13:07 -0400
- closure method now comes with a more useful diagnostic thinks to
Carp::croak
- Added a check for standard C headers. This seems to help the configure
stage find ptrdiff_t, which was frequently not detected correctly
(at least on Linux).
- Improved thread safety by using MY_CXT for some very infrequently used
global variables.
- Added IRC meta data information for metacpan.org. Please join us at
#native on irc.perl.org!

instead of creating them with a sub reference (this usage was deprecated
in Perl 5.22)
0.34 2015-05-07 09:27:04 -0400
- Require Alien::FFI which is more reliable at configure time on some
platforms

the Windows API. Takes care of subtle differences between
Win32 and Win64.
- Fixed bugs specific to 5.8.x
- Language plugins can now specify an ABI with abi class method

- Probe for proper long double support instead of trusting ffi.h
- This disables long double support on cygwin, which does not seem to
work, at least in so far as it seems to work on other platforms
patches to prove otherwise are welcome.

without warning
- You can now take the sizeof a custom type (it will be the size of
the native type that is actually passed on the C argument stack).
- Sizeof should be faster now as it doesn't look up the other meta
information or create a hash to contain it
- Added record type see FFI::Platypus::Type#Records
- Added bool as a primitive type.
0.16 2015-01-23 17:31:00 -0500
- Bumping Alien::FFI version requirement up to 0.04
Thus indirectly Alien::Base to 0.07
