AngelScript 2.19.2 released

Keep up the great work!

Don't want to open a new thread for this, but do you mind also including this item -> http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=564370 into the 2.20.0 plan? It's a simple two liner but on other hand, we wouldn't have to maintain our own Makefile for Angelscript..

Done in revision 690.

It was already on my to-do list, but I had forgotten about it. Thanks for reminding me.

Great, thanks!

Btw, it'd also make sense to make CXX redefinable in the gnuc Makefile as well, for example, some (if not many) systems have C++ compiler as g++, not gcc. Or, one might want to redefine it to a different gcc version:
CXX=gcc-4.5 make

All you need to do is to change the line:
CXX = gcc
to
CXX ?= gcc

in the Makefile.

Done in revision 694. Thanks.

Sorry for bothering you with this again, I missed another important bit last time.
There's code in the gnuc Makefile that says:


it'd be great if you changed it to:


with:


at the top after the CXX ?= line. In this case, one can reuse the gnuc Makefile for cross compilation as well. In fact, it's even more useful for the purpose than the mingw one.

Done in revision 699. Thanks.

Please don't hesitate to suggest further improvements.

Btw, is there a chance you're going to implement allocation of value types on stack instead on heap any time soon? For the being, we have to use reference counting on something as simple as a three-component vector with custom memory allocation to avoid excessive malloc/free calls.

I will look into it. I've been putting it off for a while because it brings a series of complications that will have to be solved before I can make it fully work. But I know it is important for the performance so I will definitely have a closer look at it.

i realised that i am still on 2.7.0.

how much work do i need to get to this latest version?

what about performance improvement?

many thanks.

That version is more than 4 years old. :)

The list of changes since then is huge, but exactly how much work you will have to upgrade depends on how tightly you have integrated AngelScript in your application.

You're likely to see a significant performance improvement, but I don't have any measures of that old version for comparison so I can't guarantee anything.

yes, 4 years is a long time.

the good thing is that Angelscript version that i am using is pretty much stable, so never considered to upgrade it.

i am interested with the inheritance for the new version.
