Improvements

• Generator: Added @NativeType annotations to generated bindings. Documents the native type of:
  • Callback and struct classes.
  • Struct members.
  • Function parameters and return values.
• The default memory allocator on Windows is now the system allocator instead of jemalloc.
  • jemalloc is not properly optimized for Windows and its performance is not competitive.
  • jemalloc is still a major performance win on Linux and macOS.
  • rpmalloc is faster on all platforms but requires per-thread setup, so must be enabled manually.
• Buffers created via MemoryUtil may now have up to Integer.MAX_VALUE elements, regardless of element size.
  • For example this allows a LongBuffer allocation of up to 16GB.
• Added typed overloads to MemoryUtil::memSet and MemoryUtil::memCopy.
• StructBuffer subclasses are now Iterable and have stream() and parallelStream() methods.
• OpenGL: Added LongBuffer overloads to buffer object functions.

Fixes

• bgfx: Fixed signature of bgfx_create_frame_buffer_from_attachment.
• OpenGL: Fixed signature of glPixelStoref.
• OpenGL: ARB_direct_state_access interactions are now respected when checking if the extension is available.
• stb_image: added ShortBuffer overload to stbi_image_free.
• stb_truetype: Fixed signature of stbtt_PackFontRangesGatherRects and stbtt_PackFontRangesRenderIntoRects.

Breaking Changes

• glfw: Signature of glfwGetError has changed.
• jemalloc: Removed JEmacros and moved its functionality to JEmalloc.
• jemalloc: ChunkHooks has been replaced by ExtentHooks.
• OpenCL: Removed two confusing clCompileProgram overloads.
