Casts are now written like types in variable declarations. file: [d6e6b667b8] check-in: [4af49a13c3] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 5104 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Forgot to add 2017, even though I already did quite some changes in
2017. file: [743856ba0d] check-in: [44f45c2e35] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 5096 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

While at it, also update the mail address. file: [c0eb6da7c1] check-in: [2a27cf3000] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 5090 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Additionally, OFXMLParser now uses OFMalformedXMLException instead of
OFInvalidFormatException on invalid entities. file: [8b7d306c79] check-in: [6e5a920567] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 5080 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Those were only a problem if the user created its own OFString subclass,
as calls to -[UTF8String] could then create a new, autoreleased C
string. As OFString_UTF8 simply returns the internal C string, this
hasn't been a problem when not subclassing OFString. file: [966d2aeae2] check-in: [b5c8b62533] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 5017 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This means that OFObject.h imports macros.h now, making it unnecessary
to manually import macros.h in almost every file. And while at it, also
import autorelease.h in OFObject.h, so that this doesn't need to be
manually imported in almost every file as well. file: [196faf3bb5] check-in: [13ee56edf3] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 4934 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

No functional change intended. file: [654beb3068] check-in: [9da9b2b64c] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6593 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

A file documenting the coding style will be written soon. This will
hopefully prevent conflicts in the future, such as whether static
functions are written in camelCase or_with_underscores, like was the
case here. file: [2e125a0585] check-in: [fa6496efc7] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6519 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This mostly removes the argument for the class in which the exception
occurred. As backtraces were recently added for all platforms, the
passed class does not give any extra information on where the exception
occurred anymore.

This also removes a few other arguments which were not too helpful. In
the past, the idea was to pass as many arguments as possible so that it
is easier to find the origin of the exception. However, as backtraces
are a much better way to find the origin, those are not useful anymore
and just make the exception more cumbersome to use. The rule is now to
only pass arguments that might help in recovering from the exception or
provide information that is otherwise not easily accessible. file: [1dff93e5a9] check-in: [3d16a30f41] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6525 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

The only places where BOOL is left are those where they are required by
the ABI. file: [467acead25] check-in: [c5ef582958] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6722 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This greatly improves performance, as it gets rid of the overhead of
OFAutoreleasePool. file: [c2d8e053db] check-in: [1255f3a11a] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6776 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This is safe as an "exception loop" can't happen, since if allocating
an exception fails, it throws an OFAllocFailedException which is
preallocated and can always be thrown.

So, the worst case would be that an autorelease of an exception fails,
triggering an OFOutOfMemoryException for which there is no memory,
resulting in an OFAllocFailedException to be thrown. file: [5784ae8273] check-in: [e1e7ffa903] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6717 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

-[appendCStringWithoutUTF8Checking:] will be removed soon, as it is
dangerous and not compatible with a few planned optimizations! file: [f26dc131a5] check-in: [898c2a781b] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6577 [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: [be2a2ed79d] check-in: [e2b06423e0] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 3863 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]
