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: - Documentation comments were improved in "dir.s7i", "stdio.s7i" and "enable_io.s7i". - Testcases for the operators 'sci' and 'exp' in "chkflt.sd7" were changed to succedd on all supported platforms. - The compiler (comp.sd7) was improved, to create better debugging information for compiler generated (DYNAMIC) dispatcher functions. - The compiler was improved to define and use the macro 'do_setjmp' and to work correctly for empty programs. - The program "chkccomp.c" was improved to write one of the preprocessor macros ROUND_HALF_TO_EVEN, ROUND_HALF_UP or ROUND_HALF_AWAY_FROM_ZERO to "version.h". This macros describe the rounding behaviour, when float values are converted to strings with 'printf'. - Result variables were renamed in "echo.s7i", "gzip.s7i", "line.s7i",, "external_file.s7i" "null_file.s7i", "osfiles.s7i", "stdio.s7i", "strifile.s7i", "stritext.s7i" and "utf16.s7i". - The files "drw_win.c", "fil_win.c" and "striutl.c" were improved to reduce the number of compiler warnings. 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.
