==What's new==
* Supported a new inline separate instruction that allows making feature calls on uncontrolled separate targets inline rather than calling dedicated routines:
<e>
separate
some_expression_of_separate_type as x,
other_expression_of_separate_type as y
do
x.foo
y.bar
end
</e>
* Supported creation of passive regions in SCOOP that execute all logged calls on caller's processors:
create <NONE> foo.make -- Creation instruction.
bar := create <NONE> {separate BAZ}.make -- Creation expression.
A side effect is that all calls on passive regions are synchronous.
==Improvements==
* runtime: Improved memory management by performing O(log N) lookups when looking for a large block of memory instead of O(N). This would occur after allocating many large objects whose size is greater than 512 bytes (on 32-bit platform) and 1024 bytes on 64-bit platform and then freeing all those objects. Next time you look for a large object it might have to go through all those large objects without finding one that is large enough.
* code generation: Made code slightly more compact (2 to 6% size reduction on some platform).
==Changes==
==Bug fixes==
===Compiler issues===
===SCOOP issues===
* The SCOOP runtime is now fully written in C to avoid portability issues.
* Corrected access to tuple fields in SCOOP mode that now follow the validity rules and the semantics of ordinary attributes of a class.
* test#scoop034 - Fixed a code generation bug in finalized mode for a generic derivation with an actual generic of a basic type.
* test#term216 - Fixed a crash when processing conversion queries defined as constant attributes.
