The following describes the most significant changes which occurred in the AST library between versions V5.5-0 and V5.6-0:
grf.h
. The ast_linkast_link command has been modified so
that the -grf_v3.2
switch loads dummy versions of the new grf
functions. This means that applications that use the -grf_v3.2
switch should continue to build without any change. However, the new public
functions astBBuf and astEBuf
will report an error unless the new grf functions are implemented. If you
choose to implement them, you should modify your linking procedure to
use the -grf
(or -grf_v5.6
) switch in place of the older
-grf_v3.2
switch. See the description of the ast_link command for
details of these switches.
