RigC v0.2.1

RigC v0.2.1

Grab a binary from the section below or build the VM yourself using pacc:

Building using pacc

Use the following commands in the RigC root directory

pacc install
pacc build -c=Release -p=x64 --cores=N --verbose

Breaking changes

• explicit return type is mandatory (until we introduce return type deduction)

   func foo() -> Int32 {
   	// ...
   }

• renamed StaticArray<T, N> to Array<T, N>

Features

• constructors can now be templated:
  
• convert types with as operator: 5 as Float32
• printCharacters(addr: Addr<Char>, count: Int32) function
• readInt<N: Int32>(info?: Array<Char, N>) -> Int32 function
• readFloat<N: Int32>(info?: Array<Char, N>) -> Float64 function
• allocateMemory(byteCount: Int32) -> Addr<Char> function (temporary, will be reworked later)
• freeMemory(addr: Addr<Char>) function (temporary, will be reworked later)
• --version program argument
  and many more...

Bug fixes

Generally more stable behavior, and...

• fixed long lasting bug that resulted in broken self address in destructors
• fixed module not being resolved properly when path started with .\
• ... many more
