RMAC has needed a struct for fixups for some time, and now it has one.
All of the credit for pushing (and patching!) in that direction goes to
ggn; blame for the way it's implemented goes to me. There's still room
for improvement; but for now, this should leave us in much better shape.
Now at v1.12.0.
Somehow I put a unicode character in my assembly source and RMAC then
barfed up an internal error #2. Chasing this down, I finally determined
that the debug traces weren't lying to me and the input file had a
problem. However, RMAC wasn't reporting the illegal character correctly
either, so that was fixed (who knew that gcc was silently killing bit 7
of chars now?). I also realized that having five separate functions for
reporting errors (and the cruft of using those crippled things) was just
a wee bit insane, so now we have proper variable argument error and
warning functions (they can be used just like a printf). Enjoy!
ggn deserves most of the credit for this, as my job was going through
and tossing out the stuff that wasn't needed. ;-) There might be some
ELFish things that still need fixing; time, as usual, will tell.
For some reason, there was code in several places that marked fixups/symbols
as belonging to a RISC section when it was clearly not the case. As a result,
it caused serious problems by reversing words in 68K sections just because a
symbol had been seen in a MOVEI # statement in a RISC section. Probably not
the last nasty surprise in this pile of spaghetti. :-/
Thanks to GroovyBee for reporting the .cargs problem! Also, pretty much
all of the remaining cruft coming from the misguided "GPU in Main" cult
has been removed. Never do in an assembler what you can do with either
macros or a good preprocessor!
I removed a few functions that are better off being handled by the
native system libraries (malloc for amem, strdup for nstring). Also,
cleaned up files in preparation for removing pointers from the token
stream--which is preventing RMAC from working on 64-bit systems.
