- OIC Updates
- ===========
-
- ** Shareware Release 1.0 to nets
-
- 14/Dec/88 Alphabetize generics in generics.h & generics.c
- 16/Dec/88 BUG! Remove free(seq) from deepInstances in IndexMixin.c
- 16/Dec/88++ Start adding Lisp Interpreter classes
- - changed name of generic 'eq' to 'equal'
- - added hashOf to String
- 15/Feb/89 Fix Bill Fancher's bug list -
- accessing multiply-inherited IVs/CVs in oic.c, oic.h
- IsAKindof in oic.c
- _subs in class.c
- 17/Feb/89 Installed cantDo mechanism. method dispatch now invokes
- 'cantDo' if it can't find a method. Handled in default by
- Object which prints an error message. oic.c, string.c, class.c,
- object.c. Also added primitive "CanYouDo" to test if a class
- (or its ancestors) implements the given generic.
- 17/Feb/89 Added ApplyGeneric oic.c
- 18/Feb to Added DependentsMixin class to provide change notification
- 4/Mar system. (sometimes called "active-value" programming).
-
- Added a #define for "method" to "static". Changed all methods
- in example classes to declare themselves "method" not "static" -
- i.e. a cosmetic change.
-
- Modified generic table structure to allow the keeping of a
- list of all generics. Added the "generic" typedef being a
- pointer to such a table.
-
- Added a conditionally compilable code to the method dispatching
- functions that will ignore generics invoked on NULL.
-
- Added "forAll" as a synonym for "map" in Object.
- Added "forAllGen" which a generic table reference over
- a sequence with arguments. Made "forAll" (& "map") pass
- optional arguments (in a very inelegant way). Added
- specialisations of "forAll" & "forAllGen" to List to make
- them much more efficient (it used to inherit the slow old
- ways from Object).
-
- Added "SuperFrom" primitive to complement "Super". This
- takes an extra class argument which says explicitly from which
- ancestor the method should be inherited.
-
- Added "IVs" macro. This gets the IV structure pointers for ANY
- object.
-
- Fixed nasty "srealloc" bug in memory.c.
-
- Added "StdioStream" class and changed all error messages
- & debugging printing to use print generics on this stream
- class rather than C library I/O. This factors the error/
- debugging I/O into one simple class.
-
- Made "dispose" in Object invalidate object so it wont respond
- to generics any more. All classes should eventually Super this
- method.

- ** Shareware Release 1.02 to nets (with early NameSpace stuff).
