Eigen Compiler Suite

Development Version 0.0.19 of the Eigen Compiler Suite is available for evaluation. It fixes various issues and includes the following improvements.

• Fixed output of member declarations
• Added support for reference type declarations

The last extension adds a dedicated type declaration for representing pointers that always contain a valid reference [1].

• Optimised population of procedure tables
• Added warnings about unreachable declarations
• Added copy elision of read-only value parameters
• Removed string compatibility with read-only variable array parameters

The last change removes a language extension which was introduced to access strings as efficiently as variable parameters. The new optimisation elides copies of all read-only value parameters and renders the language extension completely obsolete.
