Bug fixes and link-time-optimization support for GCC 12
The most notable change was part of the fix for #254 in #256. In the course of debugging it, I realized that response::IdType
was being overly aggressive about trying to interpret any string that was a valid Base64 encoding as a Base64 encoded vector of bytes:
I'm bumping the minor version because
response::IdType
in inputs/arguments is going to be a string all the time internally, and that changes which accessors you can use on field arguments. It's generally more consistent now, but if you are used to using it with Base64 encoded binaries and your code assumes that's what it contains, you may need to perform the conversion explicitly withargId.release<response::IdType::ByteData>()
rather than using theconst
ByteData
accessors. You can still useresponse::IdType::isBase64()
to tell if it's safe to release it as a binary (otherwise it will throw an exception for strings which are not valid Base64 encodings), and it's always safe to release it as a string. It's also always safe to use theconst
c_str()
OpaqueString
accessor onresponse::IdType
field arguments now because they are guaranteed to hold a string internally.
The
response::IdType::ByteData
type is just an alias forstd::vector<std::uint8_t>
, which was the original type forresponse::IdType
before I addedstd::string
support, so you could also write therelease
call asargId.release<std::vector<std::uint8_t>>()
if that looks better to you. The same applies toresponse::IdType::OpaqueString
vs.std::string
.
Otherwise, most of the changes since v4.4.1 have to do with fixing warnings and errors that showed up when enabling LTO (link-time-optimization) in GCC 10 and 12. The project, including all samples and tests, should now build cleanly with GCC using the -flto=auto
compiler flag.
