As far as I can tell, there should be no more regressions, but that's
no guarantee of anything. Assuming no more are found, this should go
out as version 2.0.0. :-D
There's still a ways to go before this will work properly as we need to
add proper fixup handling and origin (".org") bookkeeping. As it is now,
the addition of all the miscellaneous bits and bobs to support the main
56K assembler are in place but they don't cause any regressions to the
existing assemblers already present in RMAC. Stay tuned for Round 2!
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.
Some of the following changes are ggn's, and some are mine:
- When tokenizing floats we need to store them using a double pointer
- PTR union needed a (double *)
- Major changes to float depositing in eagen0.c
- Reverted the changes in expr.c so at least floats are processed by
expr() and friends
- SYM svalue needs to be 64 bits
- When EQUing a float symbol don't chop off the upper 32 bits from eval
- Added fltpoint.{c,h} in order to properly create IEEE-754 floating
point and Motorola extended numbers
- Fixed float evaluations in evexpr()
- Fixed floating point depositions in direct.c (in d_dc())
- Upped the BSD image limit in object.c to 8MB for crazy people making
6MB Jaguar ROMs (will need a real fix at some point)
The last commit had gone a bit overboard with the 32 vs 64 bit token
changes; this has been rectified. There's still a ways to go with the
floating point code, but this should be stable for now. Version now at
1.10.1.
The float changes will need some going over to ensure that we don't end
up with what we had when pointers were shoved into the token stream
willy-nilly.
- Source fixed to work with current rmac implementation
- Removed ultra kludgy output mode and replaced it with .com/.exe./.xex output module (activated using -fx)
- Added #< and #> to give low and high bytes off an immediate word
- Included tester in "tests" folder.
- Updated docs.
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.
Whoever put this stuff together made a HUGE mistake in its alignment
pseudo-ops. Basically, before this fix, alignment directives in a RISC
section had absolutely NO guarantees of efficacy. This is what happens
when you bodge things together without extensive testing! Note that if
you had some RISC code that you had to wave a dead chicken at to get it
to work, it will probably not work any longer as the assembler will now
do what you tell it to. ;-)
This is a big enough change that it merits a minor version bump; we're
now at 1.3.0. :-)
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. :-/
There's still lots to do, like refactoring a bunch of stuff that's
still basically wrong, but that's par for the course. There may be
more things that need fixing (like the .rept function, for example).
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.
