Language & Core
---------------------- + Added: new data types added to language:
- FLOAT (floating-point single precision 32bits)
- DOUBLE (floating-point double precision 64bits)
- + Added: support for return type for FUNCTION blocks
ex: FUNCTION FLOAT my_max(FLOAT v1, FLOAT v2) - + Added: support for overloading FUNCTION blocks
ex:
FUNCTION INT my_max(INT v1, INT v2)
FUNCTION FLOAT my_max(FLOAT v1, FLOAT v2)
FUNCTION DOUBLE my_max(DOUBLE v1, DOUBLE v2) - + Added: new keywords added to the language: BAND, BOR, BXOR, alias operators &, |, ^
- + Added: bitwise NOT (~) operator and alias keyword BNOT
- + Added: conditional operator (?:) to language, allows the use of style condition IF(condition) ... ELSE ... END on expressions
- + Added: _USE_CSTYLE_OPERATORS compile option which allows use C-style operators, according to their priority and semantics.
With this option, operators AND, XOR and OR (&&, ^^, ||) real works as logical operators, also the system automatically activated on C-style conditions
NOTE: this option breaks DIV2 compatibility - + Added: _USE_CSTYLE_SIZEOF compile option which allows SIZEOF operator to return the size in bytes instead elements
NOTE: this option breaks the DIV2 compatibility - + Added: _USE_CSTYLE compile option which allows to activate a number of options C style (matrices, operators, sizeof, conditions, etc ...)
NOTE: this option breaks DIV2 compatibility - + Added: operator (cast) to language, to convert expressions from one type to another type
- + Added: support cross-platform-compilation to compiler, can compile for all platforms available from Gemix from the OS used
- + Added: support for numbers in exponential notation (ex: value = 1.33e-7)

ex:
PROCESS wolf(x, y, graph, size = 50, alpha = 128)
FUNCTION calculate_speed(double start = 300.1234567) - + Added: support for pointers to pointers (ex: int **ptr, ***ptr2, etc...)
- * Fixed: bug in the declaration and use of pointers multidimension
- * Fixed: bug when using pointers as ptr[<expr>]..., using _USE_CSTYLE_MATRIX compile option
- * Fixed: bug compilation error to declare structures as the first field had a figure with an explicit type (ex: INT val, STRING text, etc...) by using the compiler option _USE_CSTYLE_MATRIX
- * Fixed: bug in the control of indices for array without size specified (ex: int array [] = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,) when used the compile option _USE_CSTYLE_MATRIX
- * Fixed: bug that prevented use of constants declared with CONST for size arrays declared as fields of a structure
- * Fixed: bug in the internal use of temporary strings
- * Fixed: bug in SIZEOF in the calculation of strings, pointers strings and pointers to structures
- * Fixed: bug in string expressions using values functions return
