  • Fixed crash with valued enum return values (issue #196)
  • Fixed crash of dynamic callbacks on Win32

New in Bridj 0.6 (Dec 7, 2011)

  • Added errno/GetLastError() mechanism : declare methods to throw org.bridj.LastError and it's all handled automatically (issue #74)
  • Added protected mode (-Dbridj.protected=true / BRIDJ_PROTECTED=1), to prevent native crashes (makes BridJ bindings slower + disables optimized raw calls).

  • Added Pointer.moveBytesTo(Pointer)
  • Added support for embedded libraries extraction from "lib/arch" paths (along with "org/bridj/lib/arch", where arch uses BridJ's convention)

  • Added support for multiarch Linux distributions (issue #2)

  • Added basic calls log mechanism (disables direct mode) : -Dbridj.logCalls=true or BRIDJ_LOG_CALLS=1 (only logs the method name & signature, not the arguments or returned values)
  • Added BridJ.setMinLogLevel(Level) (issue #190)
  • Added Platform.addEmbeddedLibraryResourceRoot(root) to use & customize the embedded library extraction feature in user projects
  • Added support for packed structs (@Struct(pack = 1), or any other pack value)

  • Added @JNIBound annotation to mark native methods that should not be bound by BridJ but by plain old JNI
  • Fixed Pointer.next/.offset methods (used to throw errors a the end of iteration)
  • Fixed Pointer.getNativeObjectAtOffset(long byteOffset, Type type)
