Types are first class objects and therefore templates/generics need no special syntax. Object orientation is used when it brings advantages and not in places when other solutions are more obvious. Seed7 is covered by the GPL (and LGPL for the Seed7 runtime library). Changelog: - The compiler (comp.sd7) was improved to generate less code to initialize arrays. Repeated elements in array initialisations are recognized and the initialisation is done with loops instead of individual assignments. When compiling panic.sd7 this optimisation reduces the size of the generated C program by 77% and the size of the executable by 69%. - The compiler (comp.sd7) was improved to generate string literals with reduced space requirements. - The function 'getArgv' in "arr_rtl.c" was changed to assume that the parameters 'arg_0' and 'exePath' are not NULL. - The code, to recognize constant expressions in the compiler, was improved. - The superfluous functions 'gkbXpos' and 'gkbYpos' were removed from "drw_dos.c". Greetings Thomas Mertes -- Seed7 Homepage: http://seed7.sourceforge.net Seed7 - The extensible programming language: User defined statements and operators, abstract data types, templates without special syntax, OO with interfaces and multiple dispatch, statically typed, interpreted or compiled, portable, runs under linux/unix/windows.
