... in many places where the function call will later need to be between
modules (or libraries, or the executable) and the annotation will be a necessity
to keep the linkage working on Windows.
That's all that this sweeping commit does.
The welcome screen now has an extra prelude for Alphas, and as result no longer needs to force a version check onto our website. Users can still do that by clicking "check online".
I've also rearranged the version check code a little, so that there is better reuse. E.g. we can change the URL in just one place in the code.
- For ALPHA builds we do a check version with the Welcome screen (if welcome screen is enabled).
- A 'Check Online' in the About box provides a new route to check version
- Check Version now passes CommitId and Build Date/Time to identify a version.
To actually close the bug we need the javascript on the server page to put up informative messages.
In addition, the Xcode project can now build against the 10.6
or 10.7 SDKs. All that is needed is to change the SDK version
and the other settings will change automatically.
... Should have no effect on generated code, except perhaps some slight faster
virtual function calls. Mostly useful as documentation of design intent.
Tried to mark every one of our classes that inherits from another, or is a
base for others, or has abstract virtual functions, and a few others besides.
... changed some comments, and hid = delete in a macro.
That is a new C++11 feature that lets you stipulate that a class suppresses an
otherwise inherited or generated name.
Rvalue refs, move ctor, =delete, range-for, auto, std:vector<>::emplace_back()
There are also performance improvements from eliminating an indirection and
using move of strings instead of copy.
