Rudiments 0.57.0 Release Announcement

Version 0.57.0 of Rudiments, the C++ class library for developing systems and applications, is now available.


Not much new in this release, actually. Mainly fixes for sparc platforms and little-endian systems.

Full ChangeLog follows...

  • fixed subtle bug in codegree::compareValue
  • replaced several type-punned pointer dereferences with bytestring::copy() to avoid bus errors on sparc and other platforms that require assignments from aligned locations
  • added filesystem::hostToLittlEndian/littleEndianToHost
  • added missing __LITTLE_ENDIAN definitions to filedescriptor.cpp
  • added minimal glibc-specific process::backtrace() method
