    โšก๏ธ Start updating README. (Brian Shirai)

    ๐Ÿšš Move more of Environment into Machine. (Brian Shirai)

    โœ‚ Removed C++ tests. (Brian Shirai)
    โœ… Maintaining these tests for a decade, I can confidently state they don't
    โž• add enough value to compensate for the maintenance cost. As more C++
    code (eg primitives, object classes) are replaced by instructions, the
    โœ… value of the tests diminishes even more.

    โœ‚ Removed configure step for machine tests. (Brian Shirai)

    ๐Ÿšš Moved locks to Machine. (Brian Shirai)

    โœ‚ Removed remnants of C++ tests. (Brian Shirai)

    • ๐Ÿš€ Revert "Release rapidjson document storage." (Brian Shirai)
      The diagnostics JSON reporters need reworking.

    โช This reverts commit be1e28c.

    • โœ‚ Remove obsolete JIT file. (Brian Shirai)
    • Introduce new Machine structure. (Brian Shirai)

      components, and the orderly destruction of those components when the
      virtual machine halts.

    [x] 1. Add Machine to SharedState;

    โœ‚ Removed ManagedThread. (Brian Shirai)

    โœ‚ Removed VM. (Brian Shirai)

    Back to the ol' Trusty. (Brian Shirai)
    There is some process or IO related issue on Bionic that is extremely
    puzzling.

    Ok, fine, fail on Bionic then. (Brian Shirai)
    โช Revert "Back to the ol' Trusty."

    โช This reverts commit a53fd06.

    More cleanup. (Brian Shirai)
    โœ‚ Removed MachineThreads list. Specific MachineThread's lifecycle
    ๐Ÿšš functions are called directly. Handling around fork() moved to Machine.
    Some Console cleanup.

    Let backtrace locations wrap. (Brian Shirai)

  • v4.14 Changes

    January 26, 2020

    ๐Ÿ”– Version 4.14 (2020-01-26)

    โž• Added start of array-type instructions. (Brian Shirai)

    โช Revert "Disable experimental compiler plugins." (Brian Shirai)
    โช This reverts commit 806f3be.

    More work on array-type instructions. (Brian Shirai)

    ๐ŸŽ This doesn't work yet on macOS ๐Ÿ˜ญ

    ๐Ÿ‘ clang: error: unsupported option '-fsanitize=leak' for target 'x86_64-apple-darwin19.2.0'

    ๐Ÿ›  Fix warning on Ubuntu Bionic. (Brian Shirai)
    โš  machine/ffi_util.cpp:53:10: warning: In the GNU C Library, "major" is defined by <sys/sysmacros.h>.
    For historical compatibility, it is currently defined by <sys/types.h> as well, but we plan to
    โœ‚ remove this soon. To use "major", include <sys/sysmacros.h> directly. If you did not intend to
    ๐Ÿ‘‰ use a system-defined macro "major", you should undefine it after including <sys/types.h>.
    [-W#pragma-messages]

    Switch to AddressSanitizer. (Brian Shirai)

    โœจ Enhance --sanitize configure option. (Brian Shirai)

    ๐ŸŽ Exclude sysmacros.h on macOS. (Brian Shirai)

    Clean up some Valgrind-exposed memory leaks. (Brian Shirai)

    ๐Ÿ‘‰ Use unsynchronized set during GC. (Brian Shirai)
    ๐Ÿ”€ We only run one thread during GC, so we don't need synchronized (un)set.

    Track code return value for GC. (Brian Shirai)

    Rework extended header & memory handle mechanisms. (Brian Shirai)

    โž• Added ref count instructions. (Brian Shirai)

    โž• Added deprecation for Fixnum, Bignum. (Brian Shirai)

    โœ‚ Removed a bunch of Rake stuff. (Brian Shirai)

    Start to clean up 'Machine'. (Brian Shirai)

    Checkpoint for GC after saving object reference. (Brian Shirai)
    ๐Ÿ‘€ It turns out, surprisingly enough, it's much easier to see the object we
    ๐Ÿ‘€ are trying to trace if we put it where we can see it first.

  • v4.13 Changes

    ๐Ÿšš More work remains before the constants can be removed.

    Reset start time after fork. (Brian Shirai)

    ๐Ÿ– Handle coded caches better. (Brian Shirai)
    This is still very messy and all this should be proper dependencies, but
    ๐Ÿ‘ท I'd rather build that in the new build system that doesn't use Ruby.

    โž• Added more floating point instructions. (Brian Shirai)

    Replaced Float#{nan?, infinity?} primitives. (Brian Shirai)

    ๐Ÿ‘‰ Make a proper pointer to registers. (Brian Shirai)
