Instead ``system.quit()`` is called. This is because - raising an exception requires heap allocations. However the memory manager - might be contained in the DLL that failed to load. -- The ``re`` module (and the ``pcre`` wrapper) now depend on the pcre dll. - - -Additions ---------- - -- The ``{.compile: "file.c".}`` pragma uses a CRC check to see if the file - needs to be recompiled. -- Added ``system.reopen``. -- Added ``system.getCurrentException``. -- Added ``system.appType``. -- Added ``system.compileOption``. -- Added ``times.epochTime`` and ``times.cpuTime``. -- Implemented explicit type arguments for generics. -- Implemented ``{.size: sizeof(cint).}`` pragma for enum types. This is useful - for interfacing with C. -- Implemented ``{.pragma.}`` pragma for user defined pragmas. -- Implemented ``{.extern.}`` pragma for better control of name mangling. -- The ``importc`` and ``exportc`` pragmas support format strings: - ``proc p{.exportc: "nim_$1".}`` exports ``p`` as ``nim_p``. This is useful - for user defined pragmas. -- The standard library can be built as a DLL. Generating DLLs has been - improved. -- Added ``expat`` module. -- Added ``json`` module. -- Added support for a *Tiny C* backend. Currently this only works on Linux. - You need to bootstrap with ``-d:tinyc`` to enable Tiny C support. Nimrod - can then execute code directly via ``nimrod run myfile``. |
