AngelScript 1.10.0 FINAL (2004/11/02)

Andreas Jonsson · 2004-11-19T12:17:22

This is the largest update ever made in one release, during the AngelScript history. A very shortened list of updates that were made is: Further optimized the VM with perhaps 1.5x average performance improvement Quite a few bug fixes A new boolean operator, xor, was added The library interface was improved, especially functions that returned strings ExecuteStep() now works as before (if the correct compile time flags are set) ExecuteString() has gotten a much needed overhaul. It's now possible to call it recursively, and also from multiple threads at the same time. The much awaited native support for arrays have finally been implemented. Now script writers can enjoy the full power of arrays in their functions. Application writers can easily register the exact array objects that they need for their functions, which makes the interaction very easy. Basic support for multithreading has been added, though it can be disabled at compile time for those who need the extra performance. Those are the most important points. You can read the complete list on the AngelScript site. Enjoy!

That is certainly a nice solution for setting break points.

Another hook could be set up for when a script exception occurs, this would allow the application to examine the call stack before it is cleaned up.

Then it would also be useful to have a database of function variables, and access to the context stack. This one would require a lot more work though.

You can send me the code you have, if you'd like. I can include it in versions 1.11.0 and 2.0.0.

I would love to see those in AS, as we speak it gets more professional, and when a coupla titles get to use it, could get that worldwide support for a great scripting language!

I got a bug report from a mod author for my game in development. I believe this is related to changes in AS, since he was just upgrading existing script to work with latest version of game (having new AS as well).

I'm quoting here what he posted. (pay attention to the differences in last parameter of drawString call)
--

I narrowed it down a bit and while this still doesn't work:

      medFont->drawString(float(screenWidth / 2), float(screenHeight / 4) + 180, UIFONT_ALIGN_HORIZ_CENTER | UIFONT_ALIGN_VERT_CENTER, "Total: " + bstrFormat(float(handsFirst ? 1500 : 0)));

This does:

      bstr test = bstrFormat(float(handsFirst ? 1500 : 0));      medFont->drawString(float(screenWidth / 2), float(screenHeight / 4) + 180, UIFONT_ALIGN_HORIZ_CENTER | UIFONT_ALIGN_VERT_CENTER, "Total: " + test);

As does this:

      medFont->drawString(float(screenWidth / 2), float(screenHeight / 4) + 180, UIFONT_ALIGN_HORIZ_CENTER | UIFONT_ALIGN_VERT_CENTER, "Total: " + bstrFormat(handsFirst ? 1500 : 0));

I've fixed a bug related to casting the ?: ternary operator in the WIP. Have you tried the latest WIP already?

I'll try your test cases to verify that they all work with the latest version.

I identified a bug where temporary variables where prematurely released. It can be fixed by adding a test to verify that bc != 0 before calling ReleaseTemporaryVariable() in method asCCompiler::Dereference().

as_compiler.cpp line 1904:

if( bc )   ReleaseTemporaryVariable(*type, bc);

This is for the latest WIP. With this fix, the latest WIP can compile and execute all three of the situations you mentioned.

Later this week, I'm releasing version 1.10.1, which will be the first officially stable version AngelScript. Stable in that I will maintain this version with bug fixes while going forward with other versions for future features.

Thanks Jetro.

I'm somewhat busy now, so I haven't had chance to test any WIP releases. I'll upgrade to next release or so, when I have some hacking time again.. :)
