happy new year
after way too much time in a port-test-debug cycle
the AT&T Software Technology ast 2012-01-01 beta source release
is ready and has been posted to the download site
http://www.research.att.com/sw/download/
starting 2012-01-01 we have switched from the opensource Common Public License
1.0
to the opensource Eclipse Public License 1.0; there is little difference
between the
two, other than Eclispse seems to be more widely used; this means the license
acceptance
string has changed (the old one will be accepted for a short period to aid
transition)
the new string is at the bottom of the license
http://www.research.att.com/sw/download/licenses/epl-1.0.html
if you dig into the source you'll see a new libast "aso" (atomic scalar
operations) component
this is the groundwork for migrating libast and the other libraries to
thread-safety
with this release "cdt" and "vmalloc" are thread-safe; "sfio" is on the TODO
list
it took us a while to get to this point because we want the same libast binary
to work
portably, efficiently and correctly for both single and multi threaded processes
we'll wait a week or so for any build problems
and then re-post to the official page
