Our friends at ROOL have released dropped us a note to announce that there is a new version of the DDE now available.
The key new features are:-
- fixes to the C compiler relating to the layout of certain types of structures/unions in memory
- fixes a debugger crash dealing with long paths in one of the dialogue boxes
- an updated SID disassemblernew defines from CMHG (the module header generator) for use with vector handlers
- new defines from CMHG (the module header generator) for use with vector handlers
There is a useful table breaking down what's in each major and minor issue with details of changes here.
Accompanying the tools are newly revised manuals, totalling over 1000 pages, delivered electronically as PDFs with inter-book clickable links.
Registered developers who renewed within the last 12 months should already find a download link in their inbox. If you'd like to get the DDE or bring yours back up to date please see ROOL website.
If you're a developer and have any ideas for new features to consider in future DDE updates please get in touch.
For the general direction of travel there are the big roadmap items we're working towards mentioned in the FAQ
If you're like me, you can also see them at the London Show, catch-up on plans and buy the update there.

My main feature request remains these tools running under Linux. While GCCSDK (the compiler, the linker, the ObjAsm and CMHG replacements) are excellent, sometimes it's nice to use the native tooling, if only to compare behaviours to confirm some cock up is my fault and not the tooling's. |

That's a good point. How did ROOL use their own DDE tools with the GitLab CI tasks? Do they use the Linux version. If so, why don;t they release it with the RISC OS version? |

The answer to this question (and more) appears to already be addressed in the FAQ linked above. |

I was kind of hoping this situation would have changed by now given substantial parts of the Codemist/Arm compiler are open - although dumped over the fence in a way that doesn't build easily.
Continued non-availability of it makes it mostly a dead-end for me - I want to make RISC OS do things that amuse me, I don't want to use it as a development platform.
It's a shame the newer GCCSDKs can't generate module code (although I understand why!) |
