Subject: libffi 3.2 and disruptive changes
Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2014 14:53:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87wq71yej4.fsf@moxielogic.com> (raw)


I'd like to move ahead with Richard's proposed changes for GO, complex
types, and the numerous other clean ups he's proposed.

These changes will break msvc builds as well as iOS/OSX.

As long as we're breaking things, I'd like to use this opportunity to
change the header files so we have a shared set of .h files in
/usr/include.

Once things settle down from these changes, I'm hoping somebody can help
with the msvc and iOS/OSX ports.

In preparation for all of these changes, I've made a quick 3.2 release.
There were a few nice fixes that were sitting around in the tree, and
I'm not sure how long this next round of hacking will take.

The 3.2 release should be in pretty good shape *except* for the win32/64
msvc builds which are known to be broken.  See
https://github.com/atgreen/libffi/issues/138 for details.

Thanks,

AG
