Bugs Fixed
A release with a couple of new features. This is basically 5.4.0
but I released the source and then found and fixed a stupid testing
bug so I've re-released this as 5.4.1.
- Switched to using mmap as the internal allocation function of
choice. Please report any problems with this ASAP.
- Improved the logging of error information about pointers.
- Added return.h support for ia64 and ARM processors.
- Added compat and arg_checking of atoi, atol, and memmove.
- Added backwards compatibility for %d usage in logfile name.
None.
- Removed force-linear token because made it was made invalid with
addition of the mmap allocations.
None.
None.
- Switched to using mmap internally. Used to have a lot of
checking and code to support heaps that grow up and down. Mmap can
return blocks all over the place so all of the up/down code was
removed.
- Removed auto-seeding of internal random with variable seed. This
was creating random addresses for programs making it hard to
debug.
None.
