| New in 3.0.1: |
| |
| * Bug fix. |
| |
| New in 3.0: |
| |
| * Added option --output that allows to specify the output file name. |
| * Some options have been renamed: |
| --hash-fn-name=NAME --> --hash-function-name=NAME |
| --lookup-fn-name=NAME --> --lookup-function-name=NAME |
| --compare-strlen --> --compare-lengths |
| --global --> --global-table |
| The older variants are still supported for backward compatibility. |
| * The following options can now be specified inside the input file: |
| %delimiters=DELIMITER-LIST |
| %struct-type |
| %ignore-case |
| %language=LANGUAGE-NAME |
| %define slot-name NAME |
| %define initializer-suffix INITIALIZERS |
| %define hash-function-name NAME |
| %define lookup-function-name NAME |
| %define class-name NAME |
| %7bit |
| %compare-lengths |
| %compare-strncmp |
| %readonly-tables |
| %enum |
| %includes |
| %global-table |
| %pic |
| %define string-pool-name NAME |
| %null-strings |
| %define word-array-name NAME |
| %switch=COUNT |
| %omit-struct-type |
| * When the option -k is not given, the default key positions are now |
| computed depending on the set of keywords. |
| * If the input file is given by name, the output file will now contain |
| #line directives referring to the input file. |
| * Some keyword sets containing permutations, like { "xy", "yx", "xz", "zx" } |
| or { "abc", "acb", "bca", "cab" }, are now handled by gperf without |
| requiring the option -D. |
| * The generated table is usually much smaller than it was with earlier |
| versions of gperf. |
| * Added option -m/--multiple-iterations that allows to further reduce the |
| size of the generated table. |
| * When the search for a good hash function is not immediately successful, |
| the table's size will grow as needed. Earlier versions of gperf bailed |
| out with an "Internal error, duplicate hash code value". |
| * The options -f/--fast and -o/--occurrence-sort have no effect any more. |
| * Added options -P/--pic and --null-strings that optimize the generated code |
| for use in shared libraries. -P/--pic does a perfect optimization but may |
| require some small code changes (see the documentation for details), whereas |
| --null-strings does only a half-hearted optimization but works without |
| needing any change to surrounding code. |
| * Added option --ignore-case that produces a case independent lookup function. |
| * Bug fixes. |
| |
| New in 2.7.2: |
| |
| * Keywords may now be enclosed in double quotes; this permits the use of |
| '#', ',', space or NUL inside keywords. |
| * Bug fixes. |
| |
| New in 2.7.1: |
| |
| * Added option "-F" for gcc. |
| |
| New in 2.7: |
| |
| * gperf is now a stand-alone package, untied from libg++. |
| * Autoconfiguring. |
| * Removed the "-a" and "-g" options, extended the "-L" option instead. |
| * Removed the "-p" option, it is the default. |
| * Added long options ("--help", "--version" etc.). |
| * 8-bit cleanliness is now the default; use "-7" to get the old behaviour. |
| * Compiles with any C++ compiler. |
| * Numerous small improvements. |
