X10 Release 2.6.2

HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS RELEASE

X10 2.6.2 contains updates for new versions of Java and MacOS

  • Managed X10 support for Java SE 11
  • Native X10 support for current MacOS versions

LIMITATIONS OF THIS RELEASE

The size and index of arrays must be less than 2^31 with Managed X10.
An attempt to allocate a longer array causes IllegalArgumentException.

The following features described in the 2.6 language manual do not
currently work and may be fixed in the subsequent releases:

  • Non-static type definitions as class or interface members
    (static type defs do work)

The constraint solver used by X10 typechecker is known to be incomplete
for situations in which a constraint implies an infinite number of
distinct constraints.

Additionally, the following features described in the language
manual do not currently work with Native X10.

  • Non-final generic instance methods
  • Exception stack traces on Cygwin

The generated C++ code requires g++ 4.2 or better to be compiled;
we do almost all of our testing against g++ 4.4.

  • On Power/Linux you may either use g++ 4.2 or better
    or xlC 11.1 or better.
