[Sdcc-user] SDCC 3.6.0 Released

[Maarten B. <sou...@ds...>]

Hello SDCC friends,

Today a new release of SDCC was made. We are now at version 3.6.0.
You can get it at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sdcc/files/

So what's new?
* Merged upstream binutils 2.25
* New memory management with lower overhead
* Changed default language dialect to --std-sdcc11
* Diagnostic for missing type specifier: No implicit int outside of C90
mode anymore
* C11 generic selections
* char type is now unsigned by default (old behaviour can be restored
using --fsigned-char)
* Character constants are now of type int instead of char.
* ISO C95 and ISO C11 wide character constants
* ISO C95 and ISO C11 wide string literals
* Basic standard library support for wide characters: c16rtomb(),
mbrtoc16(), mbsinit(), mbtowc(), mbrlen(), mbrtoc32, c32rtomb(),
mbrtowc(), wcrtomb(), mblen(), wctomb()
* Treat all ports the same in the manual (i.e. mcs51-specific stuff is now
clearly described as such)
* Reorganized interrupt handling for z80, z180, r2k, r3ka, tlcs90, gbz80
backends
* Workaround for stm8 division hardware bug
* ELF/DWARF support for stm8
* Output symbol table for ELF
* pic16 port now uses standard-compliant crt0iz that initializes static
and globals to 0 by default

And of course numerous feature requests and bug fixes are included as well.

Once again I hope you will enjoy using this new release.
