This is more compatible with the various conventions used on various
systems. file: [5c4513a7b1] check-in: [79fe29dbf4] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 3701 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

ObjFW_RT used to be a separate project that followed the BSD style, as
it was written in pure C, while ObjFW's style is based on the BSD style
with changes to make it a better fit for Objective-C. This commit
changes ObjFW_RT to use the same style as ObjFW. file: [ca01b62fa9] check-in: [ef6d69931e] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 3680 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This also renames ObjFW-RT to ObjFW_RT, as hyphens should not be in
framework names. file: [d7901edc43] check-in: [0f42b0eafd] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 3331 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This is required to create a .library on MorphOS. file: [84e94f572f] check-in: [79011c5f56] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 3329 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Casts are now written like types in variable declarations. file: [768ffeb962] check-in: [4af49a13c3] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 3315 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Forgot to add 2017, even though I already did quite some changes in
2017. file: [4388419943] check-in: [44f45c2e35] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 3306 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

While at it, also update the mail address. file: [11d1996c9a] check-in: [2a27cf3000] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 3270 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This should improve the performance for the GCC ABI, as
objc_classname_to_class() is used for all sorts of class lookups, e.g.
objc_lookup_class().

As this performance improvement needs RAM, it is only used after 128
calls into objc_classname_to_class(), so that if the ObjFW ABI is used
and the user does not call into objc_getClass() or similar in a loop, no
memory is wasted.

Runtime internal usage of objc_classname_to_class() does not use the
fast path and does not count as a call into objc_classname_to_class().
The reason for this is that if the runtime calls
objc_classname_to_class(), it already has the lock and thus the
performance gain would be small, but it would waste memory. file: [58afce4465] check-in: [84a724dd4b] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 3209 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

ERROR seems to be defined on MinGW32 and it's likely that it's also used
on other systems, thus it's better to prefix it with OBJC_. file: [9fd764b81d] check-in: [345eb93240] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 3196 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]
