  • Analysis. Made minor fixes to ARM aggressive instruction finder for stack trace and speed improvement. (GP-3855)
  • API. Added a program caching system for use by clients that want to open programs, do some work, and then close them without them appearing in the tool. Prior to this, all programs that were opened were kept open by the tool until the user manually closed them. (GP-3979)
  • API. Updated ApplyFunctionSignatureCmd and FunctionUtility.updateFunction to optionally allow all applied composites to be cleaned (i.e., force to not-yet-defined state) before being applied. In addition, a datatype conflict handler may now be specified which can control how conflicts of applied datatypes should be handled. (GP-4051)

  • None. Upgraded to FlatLaf 3.2.1. (GP-3645, Issue #5539)
  • PDB. Changed the PDB data types processing to use a resolve-as-you-go model, eliminating the dependency graph and the need for holding onto the PDB types within the processing model. The benefits of this change are being made available by other improvements. In addition, changes have been made to improve the accuracy of some data types. (GP-3715)
  • PDB. In order to reduce memory consumption, modified PdbReader to load certain components and data structures only when needed and provided some iterators to consumers such as PDB Universal Analyzer. (GP-3995)
  • Processors. Added language module for the Tensilica Xtensa processor. (GP-1062, Issue #1407, #5442)

  • Version Tracking. Improved and sped up the AutoVersionTracking algorithm to determine and apply good matches from the possible matches returned from the DuplicateFunctionMatchCorrelator. (GP-3854, Issue #5857)
  • Version Tracking. Added numerous options to Auto Version Tracking that can change which correlators are used and control their individual options. (GP-3934)
  • Version Tracking. Auto Version Tracking now applies implied matches if the minimum number of votes and maximum number of conflicts conditions are met, as determined by the chosen options. (GP-3953)
