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. check-in: [6ce0093f8d] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 0

This solves the old signed vs. unsigned problem and allows for more
bases than just 8, 10 and 16, as well as auto-detection of the base (if
base is 0). file: [0b468db6b6] check-in: [b6ee372b98] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 1950 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Forgot to add 2017, even though I already did quite some changes in
2017. file: [ee18b09f2a] check-in: [44f45c2e35] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 1917 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

While at it, also update the mail address. file: [c6c62287c1] check-in: [2a27cf3000] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 1911 [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: [bcbbdef2c4] check-in: [13ee56edf3] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 1901 [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: [d4f8416b9e] check-in: [3d16a30f41] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 1920 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This greatly improves performance, as it gets rid of the overhead of
OFAutoreleasePool. file: [6b475d1780] check-in: [1255f3a11a] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 2156 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

printf's %a was too fragile to serialize floats and doubles, as it was
behaving differently on different OSes and OS versions. Instead, a hex
representation of the float/double in big endian is used now. While this
is less readable, it is guaranteed to be accurate and always the same. file: [5a29f34399] check-in: [a6ee2b2065] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 2156 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]
