* libaout.h (WORK_OUT_FILE_POSITIONS): One more try at this

[binutils.git] / gas / ChangeLog

Mon Oct 21 09:25:33 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (steve at rtl.cygnus.com)

        * configure.in: added ebmon entry.
        * output-file.c (output_file_create, output_file_close) added
        stuff to use bfd.
        * write.c: more bfd support
        * config/obj-coff.c  config/obj-coff.h use bfd for swapping
        header info.
        * tc-a29k: added the reloc types we support now
        

Mon Oct 14 11:44:03 1991  Roland H. Pesch  (pesch at cygnus.com)

        * doc/Makefile (as.ms): one more sed workaround for texi2roff
        (as.mm, as.me): new targets

Fri Oct 11 18:18:37 1991  Roland H. Pesch  (pesch at cygnus.com)

        * doc/Makefile: new targets as.info, as.ms
        doc/as.texinfo: minor changes for texi2roff-2
        Makefile.in: revise 'doc' target.       

Fri Jan  4 12:48:22 EST 1991    Jay Fenlason ([email protected])

        * messages.c  Moved as_perror from input-scrub.c  Modified the
        error messages to look better.

        * output-file.c Don't call as_fatal, just call exit()

        expr.c Slightly improve checking for foo-foo case in
        clean_up_expression().  Detect foo: bar: ... foo-bar...

Tue Dec  4 16:29:20 EST 1990    Jay Fenlason ([email protected])

        * m68k.c  Fixed an obscure bug involving AOFF mode with a
        large constant displacement (Was forgetting to output the
        extension word.)

        make-gas.com  Added a three line patch from Eric Youngdale that
        makes it possible to submit make-gas.com to a batch queue.

Wed Nov 21 15:07:51 EST 1990    Jay Fenlason ([email protected])

        * vms.c  (VMS_TBT_Routine_END)  Add a four line patch from
        Eric Youngdale.

Tue Nov 13 14:02:15 EST 1990    Jay Fenlason ([email protected])

        * vms-dbg.c (VMS_DBG_record())  Another one character patch from
        Eric Youngdale.

Mon Oct 29 15:49:21 EST 1990    Jay Fenlason ([email protected])

        * read.c  Replace some as_warn calls with as_bad.

Fri Oct 26 15:21:15 EDT 1990    Jay Fenlason ([email protected])

        * i386.c, i860.c, ns32k.c       Add const changes.

Mon Oct 22 14:04:26 EDT 1990    Jay Fenlason ([email protected])

        * sparc.c       Add const changes.

        * make-gas.com  define const= for VMS, since many older versions of
        GCC don't work correctly with const under VMS.

Thu Oct 18 12:44:11 EDT 1990    Jay Fenlason ([email protected])

        * i860.c i860-opcode.h  Added patches from [email protected]

        * read.c, symbols.c, vms.c, + new_file vms-dbg-module.c
        Added Eric Youngdale's <[email protected]> VMS debugging
        patches, so debugging GCC output now works.

        * hash.c (hash_grow)  Remember to blank out the wall entry in the new
        hash table.  This is important on systems where malloc() returns
        non-zero storage. . .

Tue Oct 16 10:11:35 EDT 1990    Jay Fenlason ([email protected])

        * output-file.c (output_file_create)  if output filename is given as
        '-', write to stdout.

        * m68k.c Finally get the PCREL code to work right.  Add relaxation of
        PCREL stuff  This small fix from Ken Woodland
        (kenny%[email protected]).

        * m68k.c  Added some const declarations to constants.  (md_relax_table,
        md_pseudo_table, etc. . .)

Thu Oct 11 11:15:10 EDT 1990    Jay Fenlason ([email protected])

        * Makefile, read.c, write.c Include the i860 port.
        (New files i860.c i860-opcode.h i860.h)

        * m68k.c Fix some addressing modes, (AOFF, AINDEX, etc) to work in
        PC relative mode.

        * (all over)  Raeburn's const hacking.  This reduces the data-space size by
        declaring many tables, etc, as 'const'.

Mon Oct 22 22:48:22 1990  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygint)

        Make gas work if you turn on the know() checks.

        * app.c:  Only pass a single space through:  the one after
        the opcode.  All other whitespace is removed, to match the
        expectations of the parser in read.c.

        * as.h: Remove obsolete comments.  Remove JF's NDEBUG so
        that know() can really work if you turn it on.  Make
        SEG_MAXIMUM_ORDINAL == SEG_REGISTER.

        * expr.c (operand):  Change BITS_PER_INT to 8*sizeof(int).

        * input-scrub.c:  strlen("\0") doesn't return 1...
        (as_where):  Add space after line number in errors, like gcc.

        * m68k.c (s_bss):  Fake .bss into data section 255.
        We can't cope with a real "BSS section" yet, but we can at
        least do the right thing less efficiently (with lots of
        zeroes).

        * read.c:  Turn lots of as_warn()'s into as_bad()'s.

        * read.h (SKIP_WHITESPACE):  Replace last instance of ASSERT()
        with know().

        * sparc.c (s_seg):  We can't put frags into the BSS segment
        yet, so just fake bss seg as 255th data segment.

        * vax.c:  Remove \'s from continued macro *parameters*.  These
        must have been added after the last time someone turned on
        know() checking...

        * write.c (relax_segment):  Refine what we know() about the
        symbols referenced during relaxation.   

        * Makefile (OTHER_ALIGN):  Remove, handled in tables now.
        Flip options a bit.  These options really ought to go
        elsewhere.

Sun Oct 21 03:57:21 1990  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygint)

        Sun-3 fixes.

        * expr.c, write.c:  Missing semicolon after know().

        * write.c (fixup_segment):  Allow pc-relative accesses to undefined
        external symbols.  Previously this would turn off pc-rel calc
        of displacement, while leaving pc-rel opcode alone, botching.

        * m68k.c (m68k_ip):  Allow pc-relative effective addresses
        for source operands.  "pea" instructions are a good example
        where we can shorten from abs long to pc+16bit.
        (md_convert_frag):  Fix "JBSR" comments to refer to "JSR", the
        actual instruction.  Insert comments about bug in 68000 bcc
        and dbcc long code (that doesn't get exercised much).  Add
        comments about long pcrel displacements for -pic.  Remove
        "this code has not been tested" comment.
        (md_estimate_size_before_relax):  Now that fixup_segment
        doesn't shortcircuit pc-relative fixups for undefined symbols,
        only output them if -pic; else turn them absolute, which is
        slightly faster.  More JBSR->JSR comments.
        (md_parse_options):  Parse -pic.

Fri Oct 19 14:35:20 1990  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygint)

        * Make sparc assembler more compatible with Sun assembler.
        sparc.c:  reformat pseudo-op table to match main table.
        (md_assemble):  Add SPECIAL_CASE_FDIV to assemble FDIV*
        instructions as fdiv followed by fmovs to get around chip bug.
        (s_common, s_seg):  Accept "bss" section name.
        (md_assemble):  Handle "set" instructions with absolute
        operands, that only take one instruction rather than two.
        sparc-opcode.h (fdiv*):  Mark instructions "S"pecial.
        subsegs.c (subseg_change):  Move tail pointer too.
        symbols.c (colon):  Allow new definitions to override .comm symbols,
        as in VMS.  Sun CC depends on this.
        write.c (new_fix):  Always take r_type argument, not just on sparc.
        Chain fixP's in order, using tail pointer, so relocation
        records come out in forward order like Sun as.  Remove SPARC
        ifdefs.
        write.h: Add seg_fix_tailP, data_fix_tailP, text_fix_tailP.

        * am29k.c: Use s_align_bytes rather than a local copy.

        * read.c (s_align):  Rather than ifdef it, make two functions,
        s_align_bytes and s_align_ptwo.  Individual pseudo-op tables
        can call whichever one they like.

        * write.c (append):  Move from append.c to here.
        append.c:  Remove file. 

        * Makefile (MDSRC, mdsrc):  Easy way to edit all md.c's.
        Fix options.  Add option for -DDEBUG for know() and assert().
        Remove append.c, am29k.h.  Don't build special read-sparc.o.
        Remove sparc.h.  "make clean" removes am29k .o's.  Add
        dependencies on reloc.h.

Thu Oct 18 17:56:34 1990  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygint)

        * Generalize sparc extensions to relocation info.  Gas now
        keeps relocation information internally in a different format
        than how it is stored in the resulting .o.  md_ri_to_bytes()
        converts to external format.  md_reloc_size says how large
        each relocation record is in external format.
        sparc.h:  Remove this file.  Rename to reloc.h.  Rename struct
        to reloc_info_generic.
        reloc.h:  Add relocation types for AMD 29000.
        read.c, write.c:  Always call fix_new with reloc-type argument.
        write.c (emit_relocations): Make md_ri_to_bytes write directly
        to output area rather than overwriting its argument then
        bcopying it.
        md.h:  Declare md_reloc_size and md_ri_to_bytes.
        i386.c, am29k.c, vax.c, ms32k.c, m68k.c, sparc.c: include reloc.h.
        (md_reloc_size): Specify correct value.
        (md_ri_to_bytes):  Convert format from internal to external.

        write.c (write_object_file):  Call md_section_align() which
        rounds section sizes up if desired. 
        sparc.c (md_section_align):  Round to 8 byte boundary.
        i386.c, am29k.c, vax.c, ns32k.c, m68k.c (md_section_align):  Nop.

Mon Oct 15 22:06:11 1990  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygint)

        Changes in support of the AMD 29000 version of gas.

        * am29k-opcode.h:  Add dummy entry to end so we can examine
        item N+1 without exceeding table.

        * am29k.h:  New include file, derived from sparc.h.  Kludged
        together, still needs major work to get relocation working.

        * am29k.c:  New file, derived from sparc.c.
        Put 29k-specific ASM29K pseudo-ops into table.
        Change comment_chars to ASM29K.
        Change s_seg to s_use.
        Change s_sparc_align to s_29k_align, default operand to 4.
        (define_some_regs):  Define special register names.
        (md_begin):  Preprocess opcode table to mash together all
        the variants of single opcodes.  This simplifies later handling.
        Call define_some_regs to preset special reg names.
        (parse_operand):  Add, parses out an operand from a stmt.
        (machine_ip):  Simplify, since 29K is simpler asm language.
        Handle the various keyletters in the opcode table.


        Handle include files in the assembler, with a .include
        pseudo-op.
        * as.h (input_scrub_include_file):  declare.
        * as.c (perform_an_assembly_pass):  Avoid buffer hacking.
        Start us off in text segment.
        * read.c (read_a_source_file):  Take a name as argument,
        internalize all buffer handling.  Don't start a new text
        subsegment on each entry.  Actually use the start and end
        pointers returned by input_scrub_next_buffer.
        (s_include):  Call input_scrub_include_file for .include.
        * input-scrub.c:  Fix comments.
        (struct input_save):  Add, for saving state at .include.
        (input_scrub_push, input_scrub_pop):  Add, push & pop state.
        (input_scrub_begin):  Initialize next_saved_file.
        (input_scrub_end):  Free buffer.
        (input_scrub_include_file):  Add, to include a file.
        (input_scrub_close):  Add, to close a file.
        (input_scrub_next_buffer):  Set buffer-start address for
        caller.  If we hit EOF and were included, pop to previous file.
        * input-file.c:  Remove old includes.  Remove old file-descriptor
        hacking code, that was commented out.
        (struct saved_file):  Add, for saving state at .include.
        (input_file_push, input_file_pop):  Add, push & pop state.
        (input_file_open):  Don't buffer all files in one place.
        (input_file_close):  Add, close input file.
        * input-file.h: Declare new functions.
        * app.c: (struct app_save):  Add, for saving state at .include.
        (app_push, app_pop):  Add, push and pop state.
        (do_scrub_next_char):  Move its static state variables out so
        they can be saved and restored.


        * app.c:  Allow overriding of character meanings by machine
        dependent strings.  Avoid wiring character constants into app.c.
        (do_scrub_begin):  New meanings override old ones, not "OR" them.
        Only handle /* comments if / is not already in use.
        (do_scrub_next_char):  Reorganize mass of nested if's
        into a switch for speed.  Don't assume ';' is line terminator.
        Reorganize switch on characters, into a switch on their (machine-
        dependent) lexer table meanings.
        

        Encapsulate knowledge of segment types in fewer places.
        This allows us to add the "SEG_REGISTER" type, as well as
        providing flexibility for eventual COFF/ELF support.
        * struc-symbol.h (symbol_to_segment, symbol_to_segment_type,
        set_symbol_segment, set_symbol_segment_keep_ext,
        segment_name):  Define macros to encapsulate this info.
        * as.h:  Remove externs for seg_name, seg_N_TYPE, N_TYPE_seg.
        * symbols.c (symbol_new):  Change 'type' arg to 'seg'.
        * expr.c, i386.c, m68k.c, ns32k.c, read.c, symbols.c, vax.c,
        write.c:  Use macros.
        * i386.c, m68k.c, ns32k.c, vax.c, write.c: Change 2nd arg type of
        md_estimate_size_before_relax.
        * expr.c, read.c:  Change 'type' arg to symbol_new.
        * read.c, symbols.c, vax.c, write.c:  Move md.h to end of includes.


        Allow expressions to evaluate to registers.
        * as.h:  Add SEG_REGISTER.
        * struc-symbol.h:  Add fake N_REGISTER type.
        * subseg.c:  Add types to tables.
        * expr.c (operand):  Symbols of SEG_REGISTER type are
        immediately evaluated like those of SEG_ABSOLUTE.
        (clean_up_expression):  Clean up SEG_REGISTER exprs.


        Allow machine descriptions to cleanly extend the set of
        possible operands.
        * expr.c (operand):  Call md_operand before rejecting an
        operand as unacceptable.
        * md.h:  declare.
        * i386.c, ns32k.c, m68k.c, sparc.c, vax.c:  Define null function.
        * am29k.c (md_operand):  Use this for %% and & prefix operators.
        

        Allow machine descriptions to cleanly permit symbols to be
        predefined upon first usage.
        * symbols.c (symbol_find_or_make):  Call md_undefined_symbol
        before making an undefined symbol.
        * md.h:  declare.
        * i386.c, ns32k.c, m68k.c, sparc.c, vax.c:  Define null function.
        * am29k.c (md_undefined_symbol):  use this for the local and
        global register names; since there are hundreds of them, it
        only defines them upon their first use.
        * expr.c (operand):  Call symbol_find_or_make rather than
        roll our own undefined symbols.


        Miscellaneous changes:

        * as.h (know):  Make this useful if DEBUG defined.

        * write.h: Support SPARC-like relocation throughout all
        versions.

        * read.c (read_a_source_file): Report the name of invalid
        pseudo-ops.  Don't double-report junk characters.  Close the
        input file, which gas never used to do.
        (ignore_rest_of_line):  Report junk chars in ascii if
        printable.
        (s_ignore):  Ignore entire statement; used for 'listing
        control' statements from ASM29K, e.g. .eject.

        * read.c (s_lsym):  Handle register equates too.

        * read.c:  Add most ASM29K pseudo-ops to the master table.
        Not all are implemented yet.

        * cond.c:  New file, for functions implementing conditional
        assembly pseudo-ops: .ifdef, .ifndef, .else, .endif, .ifseq,
        .ifsne, .end.  So far, they are just stubbed out.

        * read.c (pobegin):  Allow the machine dependent pseudo-op
        table to override the generic one.  Remove #ifdef SPARC
        on .word, since it can now be overridden.

        * expr.c (operand):  Support radix-2 constants.  Kill off
        support for octals with digits '8' and '9'.  Initial steps
        toward more general support for local-labels.

        * symbols.h (symbol_table_lookup):  Remove macro, change all
        occurrences (in read.c, expr.c, symbols.c) to symbol_find.

        * read.h (is_end_of_line):  Define for external use.

        * i386.c (alloca):  Use builtin_alloca or include or extern.

        * Makefile:  Add ALL and all: entries.  Add asm29k entries.
        Add cond.c and cond.o.  Remove special handling for messages.o.
        Add lint entry.

Thu Sep 27 13:43:49 EDT 1990    Jay Fenlason ([email protected])

        * m68k.c (get_num)  Fix so that 1:w is treated properly.

        * Makefile  Replace references to a.out.h with a.out.gnu.h

Tue Sep 25 15:50:36 EDT 1990    Jay Fenlason ([email protected])

        * sparc.c  (md_number_to_imm)  Fix so that RELOC_32 locations contain
        zero, so that it will work with some sparc loaders which don't assume
        that the locations in question do.  A xix line patch from Michael Bloom
        ([email protected])

Mon Sep 24 11:43:15 EDT 1990    Jay Fenlason ([email protected])

        * as.c  #include <sys/types.h> if _POSIX_SOURCE defined.  This because
        <signal.h> uses pid_t that's defined in it.

        * m68k.c reverse the sense of -l option, and allow :w and :l to
        override the default size of AOFF indexes.

        Also, allow -l to shorten branches to unknown labels from LONG to WORD.

Thu Sep 13 17:05:09 EDT 1990    Jay Fenlason ([email protected])

        * vax.c (md_parse_option)  Don't print a warning msg if given -J

Wed Sep  5 14:26:14 EDT 1990    Jay Fenlason

        * expr.c  (operand)  Don't get garbaged high-order bits when given a
        lot of leading zeroes.

Tue Sep  4 11:40:21 EDT 1990    Jay Fenlason

        * read.c (pseudo_set) Compain if we're setting the symbol to the
        difference of two symbols which are in different frags.  (We can't
        find out how far apart they are.)

Wed Aug 15 12:18:58 EDT 1990    Jay Fenlason

        * m68k.c (m68k_ip_op)  Dyke out the code that deals with parsing
        :[wl] at the end of expressions since it is handled in get_num()
        and this was putting the result in the wrong place anyway.
        Corrected a couple of other references to ->isiz instead of con?->e_siz

Mon Aug 13 15:53:46 EDT 1990    Jay Fenlason

        * read.c  Handle .align specially on the sparc, or any other machine
        where OTHER_ALIGN is defined.  Added option and comments about it
        to Makefile.

Fri Aug 10 12:24:33 EDT 1990    Jay Fenlason

        * m68k.c (get_num)  Handle SEG_PASS1 expressions.

Mon Aug  6 16:32:29 EDT 1990    Jay Fenlason

        * write.c  (fixup_segment) Added two patches for the NS32k
        and SEQUENT  A six line patch from Ian Dall
        ([email protected])

Wed Aug  1 13:30:48 EDT 1990    Jay Fenlason ([email protected])

        * m68k.c  Include REGISTER_PREFIX ifdefs.

        * expr.c  Replace the generic_buffer hack with a more portable one */

        * atof-generic.c (atof_generic)  Ignore trailing zeroes after a decimal
        point.  For some reason trailing zeroes (but not trailing nonzeroes) were
        causing loss of precision.  I don't know why. . .

        * atof-m68k.c  Added #define for bcopy on USG systems.

        * version.c: Moved all comments about changes to ChangeLog (this file).

        * Makefile: Removed $< references that seem
        to choke some versions of make.

        * frags.c (frag_grow): Fixed to deal with requests for very
        large frags (larger than frags.chunk_size).

        * app.c (do_scrub_next_char): Have it ignore any characters
        after the filename in a # line "filename".

        input_line_pointer past the end of the line where the error is.

        checks with the new opcode table.

        * sparc-opcode.h (struct sparc_opcode): Replaced `mask' field with
        `lose'; removed `last' field.  Updated all opcodes accordingly.

Wed Aug 2 12:55:?? 1989  Jay Fenlason (hack at apple-gunkies.ai.mit.edu)

        * sparc.c (comment_chars[]): Removed '|' because it was causing
        problems.  Probably not the best fix, since I suspect other
        assemblers (68020) may get | in .stabs also, and the 68020 needs
        the '|' comment character.

Mon Jul 31 09:22:28 1989  Roland McGrath  (roland at apple-gunkies.ai.mit.edu)

        * sparc.c (sparc_ip): Allow the characters [0123] in opcodes.

Mon Jul 24 17:20:03 1989  Jay Fenlason  (hack)

        * write.c (relax_segment): Modified rs_org code so it won't
        occasionally dump core.

        * write.c (pseudo_set): Modified SEG_DIFFERENCE to (perhaps)
        allow one to set a symbol to the difference of two other symbols.

        * ns32k.c (convert_iif): Moved size_so_far+=size and size=0 inside
         the check for a valid type.

        * sparc-opcode.h: Modified the entries for std "q,[1+i]", "D,[1+i]",

        Don't call getExpression when looking for an immediate and getting
        something that starts with % and isn't %hi or %lo.

        * Teach the 68k about long conditional branches.

(In version 1.33)  Jay Fenlason  (hack)

        * Use __builtin_alloca if available.

        * README: Added more instructions for reporting bugs.

        * ns32k-opcode.h: Changed the acbb, acbw, and acbd insns.

        * vax.c: Replaced instances of LENGTH[STRING] with STRING[LENGTH].

        * ns32k.c (encode_operand): Increased max size of bit field for exts
        and inss instructions from 31 to 32 bits.

        running off the end of the LITTLENUMS.

        * vax.c: Fixed so parenthesized expressions work.

        * atof-generic.c: Added a cast that fixes problems with some C
        compilers.

        * *.*: Modified copyright notices to reflect new General Public
        License. 

        * Makefile: Added copyright notice.

Fri Feb 17 09:42:01 1989  Jay Fenlason  (hack at spiff)

        * Patched frags.c so that new frags start out bzero()ed.

Thu Jan 26 14:23:44 1989  Jay Fenlason  (hack at apple-gunkies.ai.mit.edu)

        * Added patches from pace to files as.h i386.c i386-opcode.h
          imull foo,%eax no longer gets assembled into the 32-64 bit
          multiply, which clobbers %edx behind gcc's back

          jcxz/jecxz were backwards

          There was a bug when using %ebp as a base register with no
          displacement

          Instructions like andb $0xffffff, %al used to put out too many
          immediate bytes

          The splitting jump instructions across frags could happen when
          obstack_room()==6 too.
