GNUstep Objective-C Runtime 1.8.1 | ||
================================= | ||
|
||
This a bugfix release for the ninth official release of the GNUstep Objective-C | ||
runtime (a.k.a. libobjc2). This runtime was designed to support the features | ||
of modern dialects of Objective-C for use with GNUstep and other Objective-C | ||
programs. Highlights of this release include: | ||
|
||
- Better build system detection of LLVM not being present | ||
|
||
- Fix for a bug causing corruption of runtime state when hidden classes are | ||
deallocated. | ||
|
||
You may obtain the code for this release from git and use the 1.8 branch: | ||

Alternatively, a tarball is available from: | ||

|
||
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 backwards compatible | ||
with the FSF's GCC 4.2.1 Objective-C ABI and also implements a new ABI that is | ||
supported by Clang and Étoilé's LanguageKit and is required for some of the | ||
newer features. | ||
