Version 0.7.1

0.7.1 Change list

Changes / improvements

• Better errors on some common casting mistakes (pointer->slice, String->ZString, deref pointer->array) #2064.
• Better errors trying to convert an enum to an int and vice versa.
• Function @require checks are added to the caller in safe mode. #186
• Improved error message when narrowing isn't allowed.
• Operator overloading for + - * / % & | ^ << >> ~ == != += -= *= /= %= &= |= ^= <<= >>=
• Add @operator_r and @operator_s attributes.
• More stdlib tests: sincos, ArenaAllocator, Slice2d.
• Make aliases able to use @deprecated.
• Refactored stdlib file organization.
• Allow @if on locals.
• String str = "" is now guaranteed to be null terminated. #2083
• Improved error messages on Foo { 3, abc } #2099.
• Foo[1..2] = { .baz = 123 } inference now works. #2095
• Deprecated old inference with slice copy. Copying must now ensure a slicing operator at the end of the right hand side: foo[1..2] = bar[..] rather than the old foo[1..2] = bar. The old behaviour can be mostly retained with --use-old-slice-copy).
• Added Enum.lookup and Enum.lookup_field.
• c3c build picks first target rather than the first executable #2105.
• New Win32 Mutex, ConditionVariable and OnceFlag implementation

Fixes

• Trying to cast an enum to int and back caused the compiler to crash.
• Incorrect rounding at compile time going from double to int.
• Regression with invalid setup of the WASM temp allocator.
• Correctly detect multiple overloads of the same type.
• ABI bug on x64 Linux / MacOS when passing a union containing a struct of 3 floats. #2087
• Bug with slice acces as inline struct member #2088.
• @if now does implicit conversion to bool like $if. #2086
• Fix broken enum inline -> bool conversions #2094.
• @if was ignored on attrdef, regression 0.7 #2093.
• @ensure was not included when the function doesn't return a value #2098.
• Added missing @clone_aligned and add checks to @tclone
• Comparing a distinct type with an enum with an inline distinct type failed unexpectedly.
• The %s would not properly print function pointers.
• Compiler crash when passing an untyped list as an argument to assert #2108.
• @ensure should be allowed to read "out" variables. #2107
• Error message for casting generic to incompatible type does not work properly with nested generics #1953
• Fixed enum regression after 0.7.0 enum change.
• ConditionVariable now properly works on Win32

Stdlib changes

• Hash functions for integer vectors and arrays.
• Prefer math::I and math::I_F for math::IMAGINARY and math::IMAGINARYF the latter is deprecated.
• Add array::contains to check for a value in an array or slice.
