The "Power of Round Numbers" release:
o bootstrap script now accepts a 'pedantic' argument, which sets a
bunch of CFLAGS that make g++ very picky about the code it
accepts without warnings.
o Fixed a bunch of things that generated warnings with g++ in
pedantic mode. Only two warnings remain, having to do with
floating point comparisons. (See Wishlist for plans on how to
deal with these.) Thanks to Chris Frey for this patch.
o Split long tests out of configure.in into M4 files in new config
subdir. This makes configure.in easier to read.
o Added preliminary thread support. Currently, this just means that
we detect the required compiler and linker thread flags, and link
against the proper thread-safe libraries. THERE MAY BE
UN-THREAD-SAFE CODE IN MYSQL++ STILL!
o Standard C++ exceptions are the default now. Old pre-Standard
exception stuff removed.
o Row::lookup_by_name() will throw the new BadFieldName exception if
you pass an bad field name. Thanks for this patch to Chris Frey.
o Row::operator[] will throw a Standard C++ out of bounds exception
by way of std::vector::at() if you pass it a bad index. Thanks
for this patch to Chris Frey.
o Setting Connection::is_connected flag to false on close().
Previously, is_connected() would continue to return true after
close() was called.
o All number-to-string conversion ctors in SQLString class now use
ostringstream to do the conversion. Previously, we used
snprintf(), which isn't available on all systems. Also, we used a
C99 format specifier for the "long long" conversion, which is also
not available on all systems. This new ostringstream code should
be platform-independent, finally.
This is a very big release. Careful testing should be done before
rolling this into production.
As always, it is available at http://tangentsoft.net/mysql++/
