Dear All,
It is my please to announce the MELT plugin 1.1 release candidate 1 for
GCC 4.8 and 4.9 (hosted preferably on Linux).
MELT -see http://gcc-melt.org/ for more - is a domain specific language
and meta-plugin (free software GPLv3+ licensed, FSF copyrighted) to
easily extend and customize the GCC compiler.
The MELT plugin 1.1 release candidate 1 (for GCC 4.8 or 4.9, with major
updates since previous MELT plugin 1.0.2) is available (since july 26th,
2014) from
http://gcc-melt.org/melt-1.1-rc1-plugin-for-gcc-4.8-or-4.9.tar.bz2
as a bzip2-ed tar source file of md5sum
3b7ea46dddac2e81927c211ca6a90201, and of 3891814 bytes (3.8 Megabytes),
extracted from MELT branch svn revision 213071.
NEWS for 1.1 MELT plugin for GCC 4.8 & 4.9
[[july 2014]]
This is a major release (with perhaps some small incompatibilities
with previous MELT plugin releases).
End-user improvements
=====================
***
The module list files *.modlis accept conditioned extra
modules. Within them, a line like
?findgimple xtramelt-ana-simple.optimized
means that: if the mode is findgimple, load the xtramelt-ana-simple
module in its optimized flavour.
The predefined modules now are named libmelt*.melt for standard
library modules and xtramelt*.melt for extra modules.
Language improvements
=====================
Add support for JSON (parsing and emitting JSON format) and
JSONRPC2 client with TCP/IP transport. See
DO_BLOCKING_JSONRPC2_CALL, MAKE_JSON_PARSER, OUTPUT_JSON, etc...
This requires an UTF-8 locale.
***
Several bug fixes, notably MELT-SFT-8. Better variadic binding.
Many small improvements.
***
The MODULE_IS_GPL_COMPATIBLE directive is now required to avoid
warnings. Your modules should be GPL compatible, and state that with
a directive like
(MODULE_IS_GPL_COMPATIBLE <reason-string>)
for example
(MODULE_IS_GPL_COMPATIBLE "GPLv3")
Runtime improvements
====================
***
The old GTKmm (or Qt/Python) probe is becoming deprecated. A
partial support for JSON & JsonRpc2 client is available. A
web-based MELT monitor is in the works, but not yet released.
***
Input channel handlers can be either paragraph oriented (like in
previous MELT releases) or raw input.
***
We don't use setjmp but C++ exceptions
***
melt_walk_use_def_chains adapted for GCC 4.9, and compatibility with
GCC 4.9
***
The successful modes list is printed.
***
Nearly systematic use of hooks.
***
Improved support of pragmas, with both REGISTER_EXPANDED_PRAGMA &
REGISTER_PLAIN_PRAGMA function.
***
Sorting primitives like multiple_sort are fully reentrant, so their
compare routine might do a sort itself!
***
Remove old option handling, REGISTER_OPTION is removed.
####
Bug and success reports are welcome on gcc-...@googlegroups.com
(If I get no annoying critical bug report, I will release MELT plugin
1.1 in the next few days)
Regards.

Sorry, I notice a bug when installing it.

However, I got another bug when compiling that plugin on a system having
both GCC 4.8 & 4.9 with 4.9 being the default. Technical details are in
my latest StackOverflow question, http://stackoverflow.com/q/24982923/841108
