The dc_parser_set_data() function allows to re-use a parser object for multiple dives. The advantages of this feature are actually very limited in practice. The reduction in memory consumption is almost negligible, because the amount of internal state in the parser is typically very small. But the implementation requires some additional complexity because each backend needs code to reset its internal state. Therefore, the function is removed and the data and size needs to be passed directly to the dc_parser_new() and dc_parser_new2() functions instead. Because keeping a reference to the data has also caused issues in the past, especially for applications implemented in a garbage collected language, the data will now also get copied internally.
Overview ======== Libdivecomputer is a cross-platform and open source library for communication with dive computers from various manufacturers. The official web site is: http://www.libdivecomputer.org/ The sourceforge project page is: http://sourceforge.net/projects/libdivecomputer/ Installation ============ On UNIX-like systems (including Linux, Mac OS X, MinGW), use the autotools based build system. Run the following commands from the top directory (containing this file) to configure, build and install the library and utilities: $ ./configure $ make $ make install If you downloaded the libdivecomputer source code directly from the git source code repository, then you need to create the configure script as the first step: $ autoreconf --install To uninstall libdivecomputer again, run: $ make uninstall Support ======= Please send bug reports, feedback or questions to the mailing list: http://libdivecomputer.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devel or contact me directly: jef@libdivecomputer.org License ======= Libdivecomputer is free software, released under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).
