Full Changelog: v0.22.0...v0.22.1

v0.22.0

What's Changed

Major changes to how the command line generation tool autocxx_gen works. If you're just using cargo you probably don't need to worry about this, but if you're using other build systems you'll almost certainly need to make changes.

• Remove --skip-cxx-gen by @adetaylor in #1052
• Support generating multiple bindings with a single autocxx_gen invocation by @adetaylor in #1061
• Minor cleanups by @adetaylor in #1051

There's also a compatibility change in that make_unique methods have been removed. They've been deprecated for a few releases now, so this shouldn't come as a surprise. Append .within_unique_ptr() everywhere you would have used it.

• Remove make_unique. by @adetaylor in #1040

This release also upgrades some of our dependencies:

• Upgrade to clap 3 by @gabriel-viviani (thanks!) in #1037

But mostly there are lots of bug fixes for cases where autocxx previously failed.

• Fix 'unsupported type' problem for typedefs pointing to enums by @adetaylor in #1074
• Properly disregard variadic functions by @adetaylor in #1076 (thanks to @yuxuan-xie for the report)
• Ignore inner type opaque typedefs by @adetaylor and @yuxuan-xie (thanks!) in #1083
• Fix "invalid application of" bug by @adetaylor in #1072
• Fwd decls in &UniquePtr<T> by @adetaylor in #1085
• Instantiable opaques by @adetaylor in #1086 (this one introduces a new directive, instantiable!, for niche cases)
• Add test for 'array' is not a class, namespace, or enumeration by @adetaylor in #1080
• Do not fail when encountering std::vector<char> by @adetaylor in #1060

Various other bug fixes or minor changes:

• Achieve predictable iteration order. by @adetaylor in #1044 - this makes output more deterministic
• Fix excessive generate_pod output in repro cases. by @adetaylor in #1058 - fixes a bug in the reproduction pipeline
• Better logging from autocxx-reduce. by @adetaylor in #1062
• Avoid duplicate stddef introduction in reduction. by @adetaylor in #1063
• Avoid redefining cxx types in reduction by @adetaylor in #1064
• Add stress test reduction pipeline. by @adetaylor in #1069

v0.21.2

What's Changed

• Treat C++ warnings as fatal within the test suite, revealing a problem that needed to be fixed in our generated code...
• Fix unnecessary std::move by @adetaylor in #1048

Full Changelog: v0.21.1...v0.21.2

v0.21.1

What's Changed

Significant improvement (though some corner cases wouldn't surprise me): where possible, treat incomprehensible typedefs as opaque types by @adetaylor in #1035. Previously if we encountered a type that bindgen couldn't fully handle, we ignored that type plus any typedefs that depended upon it. Now, we still discard the type - but typedefs should continue to be somewhat usable.

Bug fixes

• Allow implicit constructors for structs with array fields by @adetaylor in #1039
• Fix pin problem. by @adetaylor in #1046

Internal and testing changes

• Modularize directive handling. by @adetaylor in #1032
• Add test for base class destructors getting called. by @adetaylor in #1041
• Add missing forward declaration tests. by @adetaylor in #1042
• Minor demo code updates. by @adetaylor in #1043

Full Changelog: v0.21.0...v0.21.1

v0.21.0

What's Changed

Major breaking change:

• Functions which return (non-POD) values no longer return a UniquePtr. Instead they return an impl New, so you can emplace them on the stack or in a Box if you prefer. If in doubt, simply append .within_unique_ptr() to go back to the old behavior. (#998)
• Function calls which take rvalue reference parameters (Thingy&&) are now supported (#821)

Bug fixes:

• Fix for mdbook off-by-one test ID. by @adetaylor in #1028

Full Changelog: v0.20.1...v0.21.0

v0.20.1

What's Changed

• Bug fix to stop important error messages disappearing (thanks to @testforvln for the report) - in #1021
• Slightly more flexibility when storing C++ objects in Rust boxes:
  • Cease to need MakeCppStorage to put something in a Box by @adetaylor in #1022
  • impl ValueParam for Pin<Box<T>> by @adetaylor in #1024

Various internal tidyings.

• Outdent a test. by @adetaylor in #1023
• Fix destructor trait safety. by @adetaylor in #1025
• Unsafe dialect by @adetaylor in #1026
• Upgrade to 0.20.1. by @adetaylor in #1027

The next release is likely to be a significant compatibility break as we land a major part of #379.

Full Changelog: v0.20.0...v0.20.1

v0.20.0

What's Changed

New features

• Support writing depfiles from autocxx_gen by @adetaylor in #1012
• Basic support for extern_cpp_type! by @adetaylor in #1008. This allows one set of include_cpp! bindings to delegate a type to another set obindings.

Boring but breaking change

• Split the Within trait into two by @adetaylor in #1013

Bugfixes and documentation

This version includes a lot of restructuring with no intentional functional change, as prep work for eventually landing the next bit of #379.

• Rewrite constructor chapter of book. by @adetaylor in #1000
• Publish integration tests by @adetaylor in #1001
• Switch tests away from deprecated ::make_unique(). by @adetaylor in #1003
• Restructure codegen_rs/fun/mod.rs by @adetaylor in #1002
• Show autocxx_build::Builder::new in docs by @Xaeroxe in #1004
• Improve Builder documentation. by @adetaylor in #1007
• Harmless changes by @adetaylor in #1014
• Doc fix. by @adetaylor in #1016

New Contributors

• @Xaeroxe made their first contribution in #1004

Full Changelog: v0.19.1...v0.20.0

v0.19.1

What's Changed

• This release deprecates the make_unique() functions that were previously created for each constructor, and instead introduces a new Within trait. This will later become the only way of using constructors. (@adetaylor in #997)

Testing improvements

• Do a test run under ASAN on github CI by @adetaylor in #993 (thanks also to @philipcraig )
• Add tests for gen by @bsilver8192 in #913

Full Changelog: v0.19.0...v0.19.1

v0.19.0

Improvements

• Don't spam stderr so much by @adetaylor in #985
• Use miette for nicer syntax errors by @adetaylor in #980. This also removes some long-deprecated functions, so you may need to update your build.rs files.
• Recognize size_t as usize by @adetaylor in #986
• Support array fields within structs by @yshui (thanks!) in #969

Bug fixes

• Fix use of &str in generated C++ code by @adetaylor in #984
• Ignore constructors taking extra default parameters by @adetaylor in #983
• Fix erroneous allocation sizes when using moveit::new::New by @adetaylor in #991
• Fix problem with methods beginning with their class name by @adetaylor in #992

Miscellaneous

• Add test for moving out of UP by @adetaylor in #973

Full Changelog: v0.18.0...v0.19.0

v0.18.0

What's Changed

• Fix a problem when used with the most recent version of syn by @adetaylor in #971
• Roll to moveit 0.5.0. by @adetaylor in #970. This change allows you to move out of a UniquePtr, e.g.

let xyz: UniquePtr<Foo> = ...;
moveit! {
  let stack_xyz = autocxx::moveit::new::mov(xyz);
}

This is technically a breaking change though I doubt anyone much is using the MoveRef trait a lot.
