v1.30 (29th October 2021):

  • Thanks to a 5km limit covid lockdown in my country, a public holiday where we were
    supposed to be away meant I was stuck at home instead. I took the full day to finish
    the https://github.com/ned14/pcpp/tree/yacc_expression_evaluator branch which is a
    proper C preprocessor expression evaluator based on http://www.dabeaz.com/ply/ 's
    yacc module. This was a very long outstanding piece of work which had been in
    progress for nearly two years. It just needed a full day of my time to get it done,
    and now it is indeed done at long last.
  • BREAKING CHANGE: Thanks to the new expression evaluator, fix a long standing bug
    where unknown function macros in expressions were parsed as 0(0) which obviously
    enough does not work. Fixing this changes how the on_unknown_macro_in_expr()
    hook works, and there is now an added on_unknown_macro_function_in_expr() hook.
  • Add a new passthru option --passthru-includes which enables selected #include
    to be passed through, in addition to being executed. Thanks to schra for suggesting
    this, including a PR. The original implementation had some subtle corner case bugs,
    thanks to trelau for reporting those.
  • Fix a token expansion ordering bug whereby if a function macro used the same
    macro in more than one argument, expansion in one argument evaluation caused overly
    eager expansion in later argument evaluations. This fix ought to fix pcpp's ability
    to parse Boost (untested). Thanks to joaquintides for reporting this.
  • Now that pcpp no longer ever calls eval(), pcpp is PyPy compatible and is
    probably also compatible with Pyston (untested). Typical speedup is about 2.2x-2.3x,
    though it can also be slower occasionally for some inputs. PyPy compatibility is now
    being tested by CI to ensure it remains working going forth.
  • Fix internal preprocessor error and failure to insert newlines before #include
    caused by certain sequence of line continuations in a macro. Thanks to dslijepcevic
    for reporting this.
