While the idea sounds nice that the tag name is the class, this means the
serialization includes whether something is mutable or immutable. This means
doing as much as making something immutable changes the serialization, which
can then cause issues after being deserialized. file: [e9e426b5c4] check-in: [6ce0093f8d] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 5885 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

All necessary changes to adjust for the changes made in trunk are
included in the merge commit. file: [e9b48b38c5] check-in: [3c88df0ce4] user: js, branch: amiga-library, size: 5934 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

With TYPEDEF_HIDES_STRUCT set, Doxygen properly handles anonymous
structs and enums that are typedef'd. file: [d971682e08] check-in: [2fcf5a3052] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 5581 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

__COUNTER__ does not exist in GCC 4.2, and Apple GCC 4.2 is still the
newest compiler available for macOS 10.5. file: [e1e888bcda] check-in: [ef614a225d] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 5231 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This allows ABI stability with the fragile ABI. file: [c1be030244] check-in: [496695d778] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 5495 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This improves Swift compatibility. file: [767ebca506] check-in: [f3ccf14461] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 5417 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Instead, explicitly declare them, as OF_ASSUME_NONNULL_{BEGIN,END} does
not apply to implicit return types. This means that after this commit,
all init methods have a nonnull return type, as they should have. file: [9a9431e042] check-in: [2f4e0df8be] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 5692 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Casts are now written like types in variable declarations. file: [feabf2e6ec] check-in: [4af49a13c3] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 5616 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Forgot to add 2017, even though I already did quite some changes in
2017. file: [f3204f0892] check-in: [44f45c2e35] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 5605 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This increases the required GCC version from 4.0 to 4.6 (exception:
Apple GCC, which already supports this with >= 4.0 starting with OS X
10.5). Since even GCC 4.6 is really old by now, there is no point in
still supporting something even older and making the code ugly because
of that. While some hardware and OS support was dropped from GCC 4.6
compared to GCC 4.0, there is nothing in there that would be an
interesting target with the exception of BeOS maybe - but a port to BeOS
can also be achieved using the Haiku support. The other dropped OSes are
mostly old versions of OSes while newer ones are still being supported
(and those newer versions of those OSes still support the same
hardware). file: [1f21a78f7e] check-in: [48980f2297] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 5595 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This is necessary to make GCC (>= 4.6 and Apple GCC) happy as they don't
like the list of property attributes ending in a comma. file: [2c4a93e677] check-in: [80e1a9655b] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 5839 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Using __nonnull directly doesn't work on systems using glibc, as glibc
defines __nonnull as a parameterized define. While this does not fix the
problem of Clang introducing __nonnull even though it conflicts with
glibc, this at least means it's possible again to compile things with
versions of Clang that don't support __nonnull on systems with glibc. file: [5074e7258e] check-in: [b7097a67b6] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 5817 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

The only places where BOOL is left are those where they are required by
the ABI. file: [04a5830c4d] check-in: [c5ef582958] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 4826 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

It is still implemented by all classes implementing OFCollection so far,
but new classes are not required to implement it anymore.

This is required to add OFCountedSet later, which can't support it. file: [c4c264f1d5] check-in: [8ff55bf218] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 4701 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

We assume now that every object understands retain, release, etc. so
that we can weaken the type from OFObject* to id. This makes it
possible to use different root object classes. file: [12c31cb041] check-in: [e2b06423e0] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 3148 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

The new implementation is easier to use as it does automatic resizing,
but therefore it's not realtime-capable anymore. The new implementation
should also be a little bit faster.

I decided to change the implementation as only very few need a
realtime-capable dictionary and those few will most likely write their
own implementation for their specific case anyway.

As the new implementation no longer uses OFList, this also made it
possible to remove a hack from OFList. file: [d42967ddf0] check-in: [bbf1f79b8f] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 3047 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

OFDictionary:
* More optimized way to internally store the data.
* Faster resizing of dictionaries (no rehashing anymore).

OFIterator:
* Return a key/object pair rather than first the key and then the
object.

OFList:
* Support for list objects with a different size so you can have your
own list object structs. file: [fdd2b6ed1c] check-in: [24ecf55297] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 3309 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

* Use config.h.
* Check whether to use sel_get_name or sel_getName.
* Rename freeWithData to freeIncludingData. file: [f955344801] check-in: [7a49441656] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 560 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]
