com.unity.burst 1.4.0-preview.5
Notes: processedReleased September 25, 2020
Unity Compatibility
Minimum Unity: 2018.4
Package Dependencies
✨ Features
- You can now select explicit x86/x64 architecture SIMD target for Universal Windows Platform.
- An error message if attempting to BurstCompiler.CompileFunctionPointer() on a multicast delegate, since this is not supported in Burst.
📈 Improvements
- When using "Executable Only" build type on Universal Windows Platform, Burst will now only generate code for a single CPU architecture that you're building for.
- We now copy the lib\_burst\_generated.pdb into the root of the player build (in addition to being alongside the lib\_burst\_generated.dll), this allows the unity crash handler to resolve the callstacks from burst code.
- Improved eager-compilation performance
- Improved Burst Inspector loading time
- Improved Burst initialization time
⚡ API Changes
🔧 Bug Fixes
- Pdb location for player builds is now linked relative to the final lib\_burst\_generated.dll, this allows the crashdump utility to access the symbols and provide better callstacks.
- bitmask intrinsic was broken on non intel platforms
- Fix a bug where a `static readonly` variable that was a `System.Guid` would result in an internal compiler error.
- Fixed a bug where `math.fmod` would be unable to find the correct SLEEF math function when compiling for double support on 32-bit platforms.
- When "Enable Compilation" was unchecked in the Burst menu, Burst was incorrectly enabled after an Editor restart. This is now fixed.
- Fixed a bug where a cloned function (say through no-aliasing propagation cloning) would re-create any global variables used rather than use the original variable.
