CoreAllocator Changes

Version 1.04.05 (Jan 13, 2020)

• Gemini to Xbsx.

Version 1.04.03 (May 30, 2019)

• Removing Xenon code paths.

Version 1.04.02 (September 25th, 2015)

• Converted initialize.xml to structured-XML which fixes warnings generated by Framework.

Version 1.04.01 (July 27th, 2015)

• Made coreallocator build as a Utility package.

Version 1.04.00 (September 9, 2013)

• Added CORE_NEW_ARRAY_PRIVATE, which allows you to use CORE_NEW_ARRAY for a class that has a protected or private constructor. There isn't a need for a CORE_NEW_PRIVATE function, as it already is compatible with protected and private constructors. Suggested by Safet Hrbinic.
• Added CORE_DELETE_ARRAY_PRIVATE to match CORE_DELETE_PRIVATE.

Version 1.03.11 (March 04, 2013)

• Changed buildable attribute in Manifest to true otherwise solution generation fails with fw2 for test group.
• Revised CORE_DELETE_PRIVATE to allow passing in a member variable allocator of the class to be deleted. This involved creating a temporary copy of the allocator.
• Revised macro arguments to use trailing underscores as opposed to leading underscores to avoid any questions about whether the usage is safe due to the C and C++ language restrictions regarding leading underscores in user code.
• Made the user-facing allocation macros use size_t instead of unsigned int for types that are normally size_t (alignment, alignment offset).

Version 1.03.10 (August 7th, 2012)

• Added additional platform support.

Version 1.03.09 (July 3, 2012)

• Added two new macros, CORE_NEW_ARRAY_UNINITIALIZED and CORE_NEW_ARRAY_ALIGN_UNINITIALIZED, to avoid warning 4345 when allocating arrays of structs without a default constructor.
• FreeBSD64 support added.

Version 1.03.08 (May 7, 2012)

• Made CreateArray unilaterally use a 16 bit alignment offset. This has no effect on 64 bit platforms but increases by 8 bytes for 32 bit platforms. While more memory is being used, it's probably small compared to the total being allocated. This change allows CORE_NEW to work with heaps other than PPMalloc and allows it to work with 32 bit PPMalloc when PPM_MIN_ALIGN is set to 16.

Version 1.03.07 (21-Dec-11)

• Fixed compiler issues for ps3 for CORE_NEW ops against types that use alignment greater than 16 bytes.

Version 1.03.06 (02-May-11)

• Parentheses added around CORE_FREE and CORE_FREE_SIZE macros.
• Added CodeStripper support scripts.
• Added developer license agreement and copyright notice file to package distribution.

Version 1.03.05 (09-Jun-10)

• This version provides updates for mobile platforms and for the CodeWarrior (1.3) and PS3 SN (330) compilers.

Version 1.03.04 (05-Mar-10)

• This is a minor release that fixes a header file name inclusion on Unix builds as well as corrects a warning issued in 64-bit builds that the DebugParams structure has padding added.

Version 1.03.03 (15-Jun-09)

• This change fixes a build error that shows up when a PS3 PRX module is being created that uses a library that's statically-linked into the PRX. Thanks to Arpit Baldeva for this change.

Version 1.03.02 (16-Sep-08)

• Changed a couple of backslashes in some header paths to slashes, to improve Unix compatibility.

Version 1.03.01 (05-Feb-08)

• Fixed an issue where the AllocDebug functions (which are virtual but have inline implementations) could be multiply defined in a DLL build. However, the fix introduces a warning (4275) which must be disabled in client code whereever the ICoreAllocator abstract class is subclassed.

Version 1.03.00 (10-Oct-07)

• Release notes link. Credit goes to Heny Allen, Olivier Nallet, Stephen Rozner, Jeff Skelton, and Andy Younger for making this proposal.

Version 1.02.05 (01-Jun-07)

• Made this into a Framework2 package by adding frameworkVersion and buildable tags to the manifest file. There are no code changes.

Version 1.02.04 (31-Aug-05)

• Added a newline character at the end of icoreallocator_interface.h to make it compatible with GCC 4.x (PS3 compiler).

Version 1.02.03 (29-Apr-05)

• Added virtual destructor to the ICoreAllocator class, which was inadvertently omitted from previous releases.
• Added __declspec(dllexport) to ICoreAllocator base class definition if EA_DLL is defined. This allows clients to not suppress warning C4275 when they want to export a class derived from ICoreAllocator.

Version 1.02.02 (15-Dec-04)

• Added some notes about use of specialized new operators in icoreallocator.h.
• Added source/newdelete.cpp, which provides implementations of standard new and delete operators. These implementions use the GetDefaultAllocator function and the source file can be linked directly into the executable.

Version 1.02.01 (12-Nov-04)

• Added #include "stddef.h" for size_t definition. This was done for the benefit of people wanting to lint their code and for compatibility with GNU-based compilers, which don't treat size_t as a built-in type, unlike MS compilers.

Version 1.02.00 (08-Oct-04)

• Type for size of allocated memory blocks changed from unsigned int to size_t for future 64-bit portability.

Version 1.01.00 (01-Oct-04)

• (unknown changes)

Version 1.00.01 (01-Oct-04)

• Added some casts from size_t to unsigned int to prevent compiler warnings - Split up header file into interface definition and new/delete operator definitions to allow people to use just the interface without getting the new and delete operator overloads.

Version 1.00.00 (01-Oct-04)

• Initial release.
