GNUstep Objective-C Runtime 1.2 | ||
=============================== | ||
|
||
This is the 1.2 release of the GNUstep Objective-C runtime (a.k.a. | ||
libobjc2). This runtime was designed to support the features of Objective-C 2 | ||
for use with GNUstep and other Objective-C programs. This release contains | ||
several bug fixes, and is tested with the current GNUstep trunk, so will be | ||
compatible with the upcoming GNUstep release. | ||
|
||
You may obtain the code for this release from subversion at the following | ||
subversion branch: | ||
|
||
svn://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/libs/libobjc2/1.2 | ||
|
||
Alternatively, a tarball is available from: | ||
|
||
http://download.gna.org/gnustep/libobjc2-1.2.tar.bz2 | ||
|
||
The runtime library is responsible for implementing the core features of the | ||
object model, as well as exposing introspection features to the user. The | ||
GNUstep runtime implements Apple's Objective-C Runtime APIs, and a small number | ||
of GCC APIs for legacy compatibility. | ||
|
||
This library is based on the Étoilé Objective-C Runtime, an earlier research | ||
prototype, and includes support for non-fragile instance variables, | ||
type-dependent dispatch, and object planes. It is fully compatible with the | ||
FSF's GCC Objective-C ABI and also implements a new ABI that is supported by | ||
Clang and is required for some of the newer features. | ||
|
||
Although the runtime has been tested by several people, and is being used | ||
extensively by the Étoilé project, it is entirely new (MIT licensed) code and | ||
may still contain bugs. If you come across any problems, please report them to | ||
the GNUstep Developer mailing list <[email protected]>. |
