It contains IMPORTANT -INFORMATION for BE writers who wish to migrate a BE written to operate with -release 1.2 to operate with release 1.3. It is likely that not following -these instructions will result in a compilable but malfunctioning compiler. - -AST INHERITANCE CHANGES - -The AST has been reorganized so that AST_Union and AST_Exception now -inherit from AST_Structure. This means that constructors of BE classes -which inherit from AST_Union or AST_Exception now need to explicitly call -an initializer for AST_Structure in their init section. - -We repeat below the information given in the file WRITING_A_BE, in the -section entitled "WRITING A BE". - -AST_EXCEPTION - -The signature for constructors of classes inheriting from AST_Exception -should now be: - - BE_Exception::BE_Exception(UTL_ScopedName *n, - UTL_StrList *p) - : AST_Decl(AST_Decl::NT_except, n, p), - AST_Structure(AST_Decl::NT_except, n, p), - UTL_Scope(AST_Decl::NT_except) - -AST_UNION - -The signature for constructors of classes inheriting from AST_Union should -now be: - - BE_Union::BE_Union(AST_ConcreteType *dt, - UTL_ScopedName *n, - UTL_StrList *p) - : AST_Union(dt, n, p), - AST_Structure(AST_Decl::NT_union, n, p), - AST_Decl(AST_Decl::NT_union, n, p), - UTL_Scope(AST_Decl::NT_union) - -IDL_BOOL TYPE - -To increase portability and reduce dependency of the sources on POSIX -compliance in targets of ports, IDL now provides its own boolean type which -is named idl_bool. It provides two truth values, I_TRUE and I_FALSE. - -UTL_SCOPEDNAME TYPE - -The UTL_ScopedName type is now a list of Identifier nodes; in previous -releases it used to be a list of String nodes. If your BE constructs scoped -names this change will prevent recompilation until you modify your -constructor calls to invoke constructors for Identifier instead of for -String. The signature of the constructor is: - - Identifier::Identifier(char *, long x=1, long y=0, long z=I_FALSE) - -The additional arguments which can be defaulted to the values indicated are -included for future use. - -COPYRIGHT - -Copyright 1992, 1993, 1994 Sun Microsystems, Inc.
