- CW4 MW C/C++ PPC Release Notes
- September 5, 1994
-
-
- These notes describe the differences between the latest version and
- the 1.1 version that is on the CW4 CD. This version has just a few
- minor enhancements.
-
-
- *** WARNING ***
-
- The default settings for some of the PEF preferences have changed.
- You'll want to re-check your settings in the PEF page of the
- Preferences dialogs.
-
-
- New features/fixes since CW4:
-
- - You can now specify a Header Type for Code Resources. (See the Project panel of
- the Preferences dialog) At the moment, you can choose between No Header and the
- current Native header; Fat and Safe-Fat headers will be supported in the future.
-
- - You can now specify the "fragment name" that appears in the 'cfrg' resource of
- an application or shared library. (See the PEF panel of the Preferences dialog)
- If the fragment name is empty, the output file name is used.
-
- - You can now add a 68K application to a project to be used as a resource file
- when building a "fat" application. (If you add a PEF application it is interpreted
- as a shared library)
-
- - Fixed serious code generation bug when calling functions which contain 'float'
- arguments.
-
- - The linker FINALLY no longer exports C++ static initializers into the .exp file.
-
- - Fixed bug where the linker truncated any import-container-names if they contained
- a "."; now it will only remove the extension ".xcoff" in case you need to import
- e.g. QuickTimeLib.xcoff.
-
- - Improved register allocation: variables used inside nested are now weighted more
- heavily (unless Optimize for Size is enabled)
-
- - Reduced likelihood that nested function calls will yield the "Expression Too Complex"
- error when the global optimizer is disabled. (This error cannot be generated when
- the global optimizer is enabled)
-
- Please report any new problems directly to me in addition to sending them to
- Metrowerks Tech Support at support@metrowerks.com.
- If at all possible, please send reports to me via AppleLink: I read it 4 or 5 times a day,
- and it is much more convenient to deal with enclosures there.
