com.unity.burst 1.8.8

🔧 Bug Fixes

• Fixed error when trying to use direct call to a nested protected class
• Fixed that converting a negated unsigned type to a float would produce a mismatching value in Burst versus .Net/Mono
• Fixed that the Burst Inspector handled negation of unsigned types differently than .Net for static readonly fields or static constructors
• Fixed Burst sometimes returning wrong value for static readonly fields or static constructors.
• Fixed a possible source of invalid alignment, avx2 storing to stack was given a slot with the wrong alignment.
• Fixed `System.NotImplementedException: Unimplemented Instruction Extension Tail_` error when the code contained tail-calls
• Fixed wrong alignment for v128 when doing an indirect access.
• Fix compiler crash when compiling different assemblies that define methods or types with the exact same name and namespace
• Fixed using Armv9 target in the Burst Inspector not formatting the assembly.
• Fixed that jobs wouldn't be Burst compiled for player builds with high stripping
• Fixed burst not being able to find external function leading to crashing the Editor
• Prevented Burst emitting errors even when Burst was disabled via the `--burst-disable-compilation` command line option
• Under some conditions (if the error in compilation occurred in a location that didn't have valid debug information), building a player might not generate any files, and not display any errors.
• Fixed `uint` to `float` conversion edge-case
• Fixed a compile-time performance regression in 1.8.7 that could result in slower Burst compilation and increased memory usage during compilation

✨ Features

• Added support for default interface methods
• Added ability to support hashing against different target frameworks.
• Added support for string interpolation in exception messages
• Add support for `Math.Clamp` (this API is available when Api Compatibility Level is set to .NET Standard 2.1)

⚡ API Changes

📈 Improvements

• Direct call is now correctly disabled for methods that are decorated with both `[BurstCompile]` and `[UnmanagedCallersOnly]` attributes (such methods shouldn't be called directly from managed code)
