A Cappuccino project has always needed to have a flat file structure to
be able to compile from source in the web browser.
A new dictionary can be added to the project's Info.plist with the key
'CPFileTranslationDictionary'. It should contain all the path
translations in the project to allow the Browser to find out where in
the file structure the source files are. Check in the AppKit framework
for an example.
Also, a include list can be added in the Info.plist for the key
'CPCompileIncludeFileArray'. The file in the list will be included
by a '#include' statement for each file that is compiled in this project
A last new feature is to add macros in the 'OBJJ_COMPILER_FLAGS' global
variable. It is usually declared in the index.html file. It is done
with the format '-Dmacroname[=macrodefinition]'.
An updated Info.plist file in the AppKit framework will allow the AppKit
to compile from the source in the web browser. The following things is
needed to get this to work:
1. Replace the AppKit folder in your project's Frameworks folder with a
copy of the AppKit folder from the Cappuccino project.
2. Add a copy of the built Aristo2.blend folder to the AppKit's Resource
folder.
3. Add "-DPLATFORM_DOM", "-DPLATFORM_BROWSER" and optionally "-DDEBUG"
to the global variable 'OBJJ_COMPILER_FLAGS' in the project's index.html
file.
The app load time will increase (about 3 seconds on a 2018 MacBook Pro)
as the AppKit framework is compiled from source.
The Foundation framework is not yet tested but it might be working by
adding info about the file structure in the Info.plist file.
This new warning adds a lot of warnings in the Cappuccino frameworks. I have turned off
the warning in the Jakefiles when compiling most of the Cappuccino frameworks. But it is
on as default for any user projects.
So there is also a new feature to turn off/on warnings as a compiler flag.
These flags are (all flags are on as default):
-Wunused-but-set-variable Warning when a local variable is never read.
-Wshadow-ivar Warning when a local variable is shadowing an instance variable for the class.
-Wcreate-global-inside-function-or-method Warning when creating a global variable inside a function or method.
-Wunknown-class-or-global Warning when a class or global variable is not known.
-Wunknown-ivar-type Warning when the type for an instance variable is not known.
To turn off a flag add a 'no-' prefix. Example: -Wno-unused-but-set-variable
For an example how to use it in a Jakefile please look at the Jakefiles in this commit.
This allows us to inline the message send function in DEBUG mode. This is great when stepping into a method in the debugger as the message send function is not a separate function. Also the stack traces in the debugger is much more compact as the message send function is not there.
The life will be easier to have the same in both environments.
Warnings and errors now don’t use read only properties for line and column information. So the test cases in Toolstest.j now work in modern JS engines.
It is also easier to set options for the compiler.
Previously, when popen was called, the 3 streams (stdin, stderr and stdourt) where never closed. This was the reason of the having an impossible number of open files.
This patch ensure all streams are closed after using them. This means that the ulimit trick is no more necessary
This patch allows user to disable the commonJS build phase by setting the system environement variable IGNORE_ENV_COMMONJS.
For instance `export IGNORE_ENV_COMMONJS=1`
Before this fix, certain errors during compilation such as not being able to load a file, would cause the compilation to fail without stating what went wrong.
This fix prints such errors and avoids crashing later when the result of the compilation is undefined.
This allows to be able to have the XIB/NIB and CIB version in the resource
directory and to prevent to run nib2cib by just copying the CIB version.
This is very usefull in the caseof using a Linux build machine for your application
Object.prototype and Don't recreate sprited resources every time, and fix a bug where two
bundle tasks in the same jakefile would conflict when creating sprited
resources.
