v1.8.6

1. Fix _HAS_TR1=0 definition for msvc9 (#72)

2. Fix possible infinite recursion in find_noncopyable_vars() (#71)

v1.8.5

1. Fix multiple calls to __hash__() (#70)

2. Static and extern qualifiers are now no more treated as equivalents
   in the type_qualifiers class (for CastXML).
   The old behaviour is kept for GCC-XML (static == extern).

3. Fix for declarations.is_noncopyable when used on a pointer_t.

v1.8.4

1. Include paths read from configuration files on windows are now normed
   and passed between quotation marks. This makes pygccxml more robust
   when used on Windows (with paths containing whitespaces).

2. Closed cache file handle, which would not be closed in case of an exception
   (warning thrown by Python 2.7.13)

3. Always call wait() on subprocesses before closing stdout/stderr streams.
   Detected by Python 3.6. Fixes the following warning:
   ResourceWarning: subprocess xxxxx is still running

4. Fix deprecation warnings thrown by ConfigParser when using pygccxml
   with python 2.7.13. Fix the usage of pygccxml with python 3.6.

5. Updated travis setup to python 3.6 for OS X.

v1.8.3

1. Single-source the version number to prevent version numbers mismatches.
   Release 1.8.2 contained a wrong version number in its download url
   on pypi.

v1.8.2

1. xml_generator_configuration_t will no more try to find
   castxml or gccxml. You can use utils.find_xml_generator to help you
   finding the path to the xml generator, or set it manually.
   It is now mandatory to pass a valid xml_generator and
   xml_generator_path to the configuration (#65).

v1.8.1

1. Added is_struct function to declarations package. It returns true if
   a declaration is a struct.

2. Removed * from decl_string when type is a function pointer (#61)

3. Update travis.yml for newer OS X images. Update CastXML binaries for Travis.

4. Fix regression in directory_cache, which was crashing due an unset variable.
   Add support for python3 in directory_cache.

v1.8.0

1. CastXML is now the default XML generator (instead of GCCXML)
   find_xml_generator will now look for CastXML first too.

2. Do not allow to use the GCCXML provided by newer gccxml debian packages.
   It is a wrapper around CastXML which can confuse pygccxml.
   You should use the castxml package and the CastXML binary instead.
   If you really want to use gccxml, the gccxml.real binary from the
   gccxml debian package can still be used.

3. Fix parsing of boost/locale.hpp code.
   Templated class instantiations with specializations are now better supported,
   specifically when containing parentheses:
   myClass<std::vector<char>(const std::string &, const std::string &)> obj;

4. When using the remove_pointer function on a function pointer, the
   remove_pointer function now correctly returns a calldef_type_t.

5. declarations.is_string, declarations.is_std_wstring,
   declarations.is_std_ostream and declarations.is_std_wostream now
   correctly work when a the type is also a reference.
   Example: declarations.is_string returned false for
   typedef std::string& x3;; it will return true now.

6. General code style overhaul (with the help of quantifiedcode.com)

7. Added a bunch of new examples and documentation update and cleanup

8. [Removals] Remove compiler attribute in declarations.py and
   gccxml_path from config.py
   These were deprecated in pygccxml v1.7.0, and definitively removed for v1.8.0

9. [Deprecations]

• The binary_parsers module was deprecated. It seems that this module is not
  used by other third-party projects, at least a quick search on GitHub
  did not give any interesting usage. Also, this code is not tested, and
  there seem to be some undefined variables, so it is highly probable that this
  module is not working anyway.
  I do not want to put much efforts in maintaining this module, but concentrate
  on improving pygccxml's core features. If somebody wants to revive this
  module it can still be done in a separate project.
  Thus, the 3 following functions are now deprecated and will be removed in
  pygccxml 1.9.0: merge_information, undecorate_blob and format_decl.
  The undname_creator_t class is also deprecated for the same reason.

• A bunch of attributes and methods were deprecated.
  They will throw a warning when used with pygccxml 1.8.0, and will be removed
  in version 1.9.0.

  • In class_declaration_t and class_t:

    • decl.container_traits attribute => declarations.find_container_traits(decl)

  • In class_t

    • decl.find_noncopyable_vars() method => declarations.find_noncopyable_vars(decl)
    • decl.find_copy_constructor() method => declarations.find_copy_constructor(decl)
    • decl.has_vtable argument => declarations.has_vtable(decl)

  • In constructor_t

    • ctor.is_copy_constructor attribute => declarations.is_copy_constructor(ctor)
    • ctor.is_trivial_constructor attribute => declarations.is_trivial_constructor(ctor)

  • Deprecate the ns() method. The namespace() method can be used instead.

  • Deprecate etree_scanner_t and etree_saxifier_t classes.
    The most efficient xml scanner class is the ietree_scanner_t class, which
    is the one used since many years now.

  • The [gccxml] section used in the configuration file is now deprecated.
    Please use [xml_generator] instead.

• native_compiler and enum classes from the utils module. These were
  not used in pygccxml, and can easily be implemented in your own project if you
  need and equivalent

v1.7.6

1. Fix problem with argument without names when building declaration string (#55)

v1.7.5

1. Improve error message when no castxml or gccxml is found.

2. Fix compilation of tests with c++11.

3. Fix patching of enums in default arguments for C++03.

4. Version numbers are still tagged with the v prefix (1.7.4 was correctly tagged),
   as this is recommended by GitHub. The version number in the init.py and
   setup.py files are without v prefix, because this is what pip requires.

v1.7.4

1. CV-qualified arrays were not being handled correctly by type traits
   manipulations functions. For instance, 'int const[N]' would not be
   detected as 'const'. Similar problems existed for volatile qualified
   arrays too. See #35 for more details. A newer version of CastXML is
   recommended (xml output version >= 1.138)

2. Close subprocess stdout stream once value has been read.
   Fixes some warnings under python3.

3. Since this release, pyggcxml's version numbers do not contain the v
   prefix anymore. This was breaking distribution on PyPI (pypi.python.org).

4. The documentation is now at http://pygccxml.readthedocs.io/
