[ANN] pygccxml - 0.8.5

[Roman Yakovenko]

Hello!

I'm pleased to announce the 0.8.5 release of pygccxml.

What is pygccxml?
=================

"...The purpose of the GCC-XML extension is to generate an XML description of a
C++ program from GCC's internal representation. "

-- Introduction to GCC-XML

The purpose of pygccxml is to read a generated file and provide a simple
framework to navigate C++ declarations, using Python classes.

What's new?
===========

Features
--------

* Added new functionality: "I depend on them". Every declaration can report
types and declarations it depends on. This functionality helps code
generators.
For example, Py++, the Boost.Python code generator, uses it to
verify that all
relevant declarations were exposed.

* Declarations, read from GCC-XML generated file, could be saved in cache.

Small features
--------------
* New type traits have been added:

* is_bool

* Small improvement to algorithm, which extracts value_type
( mapped_type ) from "std" containers.

* Few aliases to long method name were introduced.

Bug fixes
---------

* "signed char" and "char" are two different types. This bug was fixed and
now pygccxml treats them right. Many thanks to Gaetan Lehmann for reporting
the bug.

* Fixing bug related to array size and cache.
