Squirrel

Hi all,

   I've just released squirrel 2.1.1 stable. Is a service release, not much new. Fixes some obscure bug, some stuff in the API.

-vm refactoring
-optimized internal function memory layout
-new global symbol _version_ (is the version string)
-code size optimization for float literals(on 32bits float builts)
-now the raw ref API(sq_addref etc...) is fully reentrant.
-fixed a bug in sq_getdelegate() now pushes null if the object doesn't have a delegate(thx MatzeB)
-improved C reference performances in NO_GARBAGE_COLLECTOR builds
-sq_getlocal() now enumerates also outer values.
-fixed regexp library for GCC users.

ciao

Hi Alberto,

Release 2.1.1 stable broke SqPlus; I didn't see an obvious fix (Squirrel error message stated line 1 column 9, which did not make sense (appears to be middle of token)).

To test:

1. Download SqPlus release 21.
2. Copy Squirrel 2.1.1 files over all files in SQUIRREL directory.
3. Compile and run testSqPlus2.cpp.
4. Will fail on line 528:
  SquirrelObject test = SquirrelVM::CompileBuffer(_T("\
  local MyWindow = Windowf(); \n\

I'm on it

Everything works just fine for me, I've tried all possible configs. I'm using VC 8.0 . SQPlus 21 just downloaded and squirrel 2.1.1 just downloaded from SF.

I know that sounds almost insulting, but try a 'rebuild all', is amazing how VC incremental link can screw up sometimes.

I haven't changed anything in the parser for this release. I'd understand a runtime error but consider that this release has been running in our produnction servers for few months with no problem.

Let me know.

ciao

Yup, thanks, just a compiler issue. In the past, just copying in the new sources and hitting F5 was no problem... I've seen this compiler/linker behavior before with other projects; I should have spent an extra 2 seconds testing before posting. Not clear if it's a dependancy or linker bug; at least the fix is trivial.

SqPlus 22 with Squirrel 2.1.1 has been posted on the Wiki.
