Previously, there were a lot of places that turned on or off C macros
which finally determined whether some particular entry was found
in *features* or not. Now, we do this all in the configure script.
This is necessary for cross compilation from a non-compatible host
which may have different features.
sysfun declarations revolve strictly around c function inlining that is specific
to the C backend.
Moreover be more explicit about symbol packages and check feature-conditioned
inlines at runtime (not at readtime) in case that we construct the inline
information for a cross-compiled target. This should be further improved.
Announcement proposal. When this is merged to the develop branch, then
we should make a PR against master and merge. Then we shall publish
tarballs and the announcement on the website.
Previously: unconditionally use the size from ECL_OPT_C_STACK_SIZE if
it is larger than the OS provided value and if possible resize the
stack at runtime.
Now: Use ECL_OPT_C_STACK_SIZE if provided. Otherwise, use a) the OS
provided value if we can resize the stack at runtime (for Unix) or b)
the new build option ECL_DEFAULT_C_STACK_SIZE (1 MB) if we can set the
stack size at link time (for Windows).
MS link.exe can pick the right crt libraries according to the compiler flags,
such as /MD, /MDd etc.
So we remove them to keep the command line tidy and clean.
Because that needs the DbgHelp library, an additional make
option has been defined for users, who don't want to link to this
library. Some msvc Makefile cleanup has also been done.
We have API changes (#$ and with-rwlock) and various bugfixes. Note
that it's not the release yet, just version bump.
