-Add GenLineNoSym(), which will generate debug
symbols for file names and line numbers when
debug info generation is requested.
-Replace code that warns -g is not supported with
code to set a flag.
-Complain if -g is specified for non-BSD output
formats, as only stabs-in-symbol-table/a.out
format debug information is supported currently.
-Document -g flag in usage information function.
-Document -g flag in manual.
v2:
-Only call debug symbol generation functions when
dbg_sym != 0
This function, currently unused, generates a stabs
debugging symbol, as documented here:
https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/stabs.html
It can be used to process stabs directives, also
documented at the above URL, generated by HLL
compilers such as GCC, as well as to generate line
number and file name debug symbols when assembling
hand-coded assembly files with the -g option.
v2:
-Don't double-init stabs symbol fields
-Consistently use tabs, not spaces
As it turns out, this was not due to malice but because RMAC was set up
to squeeze out every label ever defined in the assembly. Hopefully,
with this patch, things should be a bit more sane. :-)
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
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)
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.
This stemmed from the fact that EQUR symbols somehow made it on to the
symbol declaration list. If such symbol was later .equrundef'd, it would
find it's way back onto the the sdecl list *twice*, with the result
that any symbols that came after it would be summarily discarded into
the ether. Really, really bad mojo.
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!
While the assembler is in better shape vis-a-vis 64-bitness, there's
still a long way to go towards refactoring the thing to remove all
the problems it has with crufty data structures, and I'm sure there's
still bugs left in things like the .rept directive.
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.
