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: [9b79071582] check-in: [6ce0093f8d] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 8045 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This uses the same format as OFEnsure(). file: [f4144af409] check-in: [c86b8f10f0] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 9096 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

With TYPEDEF_HIDES_STRUCT set, Doxygen properly handles anonymous
structs and enums that are typedef'd. file: [75ee6d9e19] check-in: [2fcf5a3052] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 9114 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

The new names should be more accurate. file: [5f900e9ac3] check-in: [627511b032] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 9451 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

The internal hash is still 32 bit in most places, but this way, it is at
least not baked into the API and ABI and can be upgraded later, should
that ever be necessary. file: [2cea85f754] check-in: [aeb403a1ed] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 9485 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

It's not very useful and is a problem for the Foundation bridge, as
NSEnumerator does not have it. file: [146f486f61] check-in: [7214a2c7af] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 9184 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This avoids having at last one page per OFSecureData and allows multiple
small OFSecureData sharing the same page, which is important on systems
where the number of pages that can be locked is very limited. file: [2c2e8bdce6] check-in: [0e45b7bb1c] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 9361 [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: [8973979249] check-in: [2f4e0df8be] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 9300 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Casts are now written like types in variable declarations. file: [e2872c89cd] check-in: [4af49a13c3] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 9269 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Forgot to add 2017, even though I already did quite some changes in
2017. file: [064f669702] check-in: [44f45c2e35] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 9252 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Now that we require GCC >= 4.6 anyway, there's no more reason to not use
it anymore. file: [7c70cf8600] check-in: [6b13727ce0] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 9256 [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: [a0868f6c97] check-in: [48980f2297] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 9362 [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: [15d02f769c] check-in: [13ee56edf3] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 9395 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

LLP64 was mostly fast enumeration using an unsigned long for the state,
which can't store a pointer or a size_t on LLP64. This is now solved by
either throwing an OFOutOfRangeException if the value of the size_t is
bigger than ULONG_MAX or storing the pointer in the extra field (copied
using memcpy, as it's an array of unsigned long, which again would be
too small to store a pointer).

Win64 was mostly Microsoft not being able to decide whether a length is
a size_t, a DWORD, an int or an unsigned int (thus the different types
in places that seem to be almost the same). But since that would not be
confusing enough, a file descriptor is an int if it's for a file, but a
long long if it is for a socket. But of course, for ReadFile and friends
it's a DWORD instead of an int then. file: [fae299202c] check-in: [4e59d2692f] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 9439 [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: [e54c914e15] check-in: [3d16a30f41] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 9348 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

The only places where BOOL is left are those where they are required by
the ABI. file: [0d2e63e3da] check-in: [c5ef582958] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 9451 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This greatly improves performance, as it gets rid of the overhead of
OFAutoreleasePool. file: [c65623ed0a] check-in: [1255f3a11a] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 9230 [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: [c2b5c044cc] check-in: [e1e7ffa903] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 9427 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This way, we don't need a new parser and don't use a new format. file: [60c8cd9af5] check-in: [494dca4ae4] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 8575 [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: [156d215610] check-in: [e2b06423e0] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 4362 [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: [18ec5ebfcc] check-in: [bbf1f79b8f] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 3923 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]
