Google and Microsoft dissmiss their proprietory languages in favor of Seed7

Show all headers | View raw

To celebrate this decision a new version of Seed7 was released:
seed7_05_20120401.tgz

In the Seed7 programming language new statements and operators
can be declared easily. 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 program "chkccomp.c" was changed to define the macros
  'likely' and 'unlikely' only when __GNUC__ >= 3 holds (thanks
  to "Rugxulo" for pointing out, that GCC 2.95.3 does not
  support __builtin_expect() ).
- The library "modern27.s7i", which defines the vector font
  modern27, was added.
- The compiler (comp.sd7) was improved to initialize global
  interface variables correctly.
- The function cmdPipe2() in "cmd_win.c" was improved to work
  correctly.
- In "drw_win.c" the functions drawRectangle(), drwPArc(),
  drwPFArcPieSlice(), drwPCircle(), drwClear(), drwPFCircle(),
  drwPFEllipse(), drwPLine(), drwPolyLine(), drwFPolyLine() and
  drwPRect() were improved to raise MEMORY_ERROR when CreatePen()
  or CreateSolidBrush() fails.
- In various makefiles the definition of likely() and unlikely()
  was removed and a definition of USE_BUILTIN_EXPECT was added.
- The descriptions of paths in "seed7/src/read_me.txt", were
  improved.

Greetings Thomas Mertes
