[Javapathfinder-devel] PLEASE READ - branches/v5

[Peter C. M. <Pet...@na...>]

I finally gave in and created a branches/v5, since the DynamicArea  
replacement is much bigger than originally expected. At least  
initially, I'm probably going to drop a number of things that  
directly use the DynamicArea implementation (e.g. Serializer/Restorer).

Since this is such a big change anyways, I will also change the  
Instruction interface to execute(ThreadInfo), modify the ElementInfo  
structure, and therefore call this "version 5" (we have a milestone  
for this by end of August)

PLEASE NOTE - the current v5 only has the direct DynamicArea  
references replaced by a new "Heap" interface wherever possible, i.e.  
there are a lot more changes to come, and this should NOT YET be the  
version to use in GSoC. However, you should refrain from using  
DynamicArea internals (esp. Area.elements) in your GSoC code. Please  
let me know if that's a problem, so that I have an idea who is  
working off branches/v5 instead of trunk.

Please also note that I don't want to kick off a flood of branches  
with this. We don't have enough time & resources to work on lots of  
different branches simultaneously, and branches eventually have to  
get merged back. If nothing else, be advised that branching with the  
current Eclipse/Subclipse has it's pitfalls.
