NHI1 news 30 oct, 2024	The main focus was Ruby integration into NHI10 . NEW features NHI10 - Ruby integration into Programming-Language-Micro-Kernel (PLMK). theCompiler - redesign of the alc compiler backend. theKernel - misc updates to the Programming-Language-Micro-Kernel (PLMK). HIGHLIGHT RUBY is a callenging story
theKernel news 30 oct, 2024	The main focus was Ruby integration into NHI10 . NEW features MkRefDecrWithUnlinkSelf - this function is used in the target implementation of MkObjectDelete and executes an additional MkSelfUnlink before the MkRefDecrWithoutSelf to guarantee that the META is separated from the SELF and the SELF is separated from the META. MkSysPrintProcessMemoryMap - this function is used in MkDisasterSignal to provide additional information in the event of a fatal error. AllRtSetup_XYZ - A new group of "runtime" macros has been introduced to simplify the initialization of the Thread-Local-Global-Namespace (RUNTIME) in the special case where multiple runtimes are present. MK_ATTR_CLASS MK_ATTR_INSTANCE MK_ATTR_RT_CLASS MK_ATTR_RT_INSTANCE - A new set of macros has been introduced to simplify the connection of meta to the target language in the header file. MK_CLASS_RT MK_INSTANCE_RT_XYZ - A new set of macros has been introduced to detect a possible implementation error in the source file MkObjectLog, MkObjectToString - These virtual functions have been switched to the attribute __parser__(class-overload) so that no new code is generated in the Target-Programming-Language (TPL), but the implementation in MkObjectC is called directly. This makes the library slimmer and therefore more efficient. BUG fix A bug in MkObjectHandleGet was fixed by changing the argument to __parser__(null-allowed). This was necessary to eliminate a NULL pointer error in Remote-Procedure-Call (RPC) with C.
theCompiler news 30 oct, 2024	The main focus was Ruby integration into NHI10 and the new object-database in the backend. NEW features The alc compiler consists of three layers: frontend, middleware and backend. Up to now, a table-structure was used for the data in the frontend and backend, which worked well but showed some weaknesses over time, which led to the backend being converted to an object-structure. Both types of structure have their advantages and disadvantages. The table-structure is better suited for cross-object analysis and the object-structure is better suited for object-specific analysis. Unfortunately, only one type of data structure can be used at a time and so I decided to leave the frontend with the table-structure but convert the backend to the new object-structure. In order to support the new object-structure, the format of the meta-code-library-definition-file (META-FILE) was changed for the first time. Previously, the linking of the data from the various tables was done in the backend, but with the new object-structure this no longer makes sense and has been moved to the middleware. This in turn means that the attribute-database also needs the attribute-class, which then ensures that attributes can be assigned to the appropriate class at a very early stage. See also alc compiler
