GCC-MELT

Release Notes: The :auto ctype annotation, now the default in LET bindings, make the newly defined variable gets its c-type from the expression defining it. The BOX, CONSTANT_BOX, and UNBOX syntactic constructs are new. In the MELT runtime a new evalfile mode is available for evaluating an expression from a file, stdin by default. The melt-module.mk makefile fragment is now silent, but can be made verbose. Several primitives have been added, and many bugs have been fixed.

Release Notes: Language improvements: CHEADER works as expected. MELT doesn't use PPL anymore. Many cmatchers have been added for constant tree nodes (true, false, int, double, 0, etc). Runtime improvements: Adds a Read Eval Print Loop and an Eval mode. Adds support for custom finalized data. Can be more easily built as a plugin for cross-compilers. Better debugging. The probe is also showing Gimple/SSA graphically. Many bugfixes.

Release Notes: This release adds the ability to easily use a pkg-configured package, can generate symlinks to unique generated C files, and adds support for a timer, child processes, and asynchronous texual interaction with an outside process. A graphical probe can interact with MELT to display various GCC internal representations related to a given source location. The probe mode is able to start and communicate with an external graphical probe. A simple probe, coded in C++ for GTKmm3.4, is available as the self-contained program simplemelt-gtkmm-probe.cc.

Release Notes: The MELT plugin is available for GCC 4.6 and 4.7. Small MELT language improvement (macro-string syntax). Runtime improvements: handles SIGIO Unix signals with asynchronous input channels (experimental feature), and can be compiled with C++ (like GCC 4.7 often is). Library improvements: many more matchers and much more generated documentation to interface with GCC internals.

Release Notes: Several enhancements and bugfixes.
