possible values. Add the PowerPC ncg and mcg backend support to let the test
actually run, including modifying a bunch of PowrePC libem functions so that
they can be called from both ncg and mcg.
This provides and, ior, xor, com, zer, set, cms when defined($1) and
ior, set when !defined($1). I don't provide the other operations
!defined($1) because our Modula-2 compiler hasn't used them.
I wrote a Modula-2 example in

Put a dummy comment in mach/powerpc/libem/build.lua so git checkout
will touch that file. Without the touch, the build system doesn't see
the new *.s files.
corresponding invocation in the ncg table so the same helpers can be used for
both mcg and ncg. Add a new IR opcode, FARJUMP, which jumps to a helper
function but saves volatile registers.
This fixes the SIGILL (illegal instruction) in startrek when firing
phasers. The 32-bit processors in my PowerPC Mac and in QEMU don't
have fctid, a 64-bit instruction.
I got the idea from mach/proto/fp/fif8.c to extract the exponent,
clear some bits to get an integer, then subtract the integer from
the original value to get the fraction.
In EM, fef splits a float into exponent and fraction. The old C code,
given an infinite float, got stuck in an infinite loop. The new
assembly code doesn't loop; it extracts the IEEE exponent.
GNU as has "la %r4,8(%r3)" as an alias for "addi %r4,%r3,8", meaning
to load the address of the thing at 8(%r3). Our 'la', now 'li32',
makes an addis/ori pair to load an immediate 32-bit value. For
example, "li32 r4,23456789" loads a big number.
Inspired by the sparc code (mach/sparc/libem/lar.s). My powerpc code
might still have bugs, but it's enough for examples/hilo.mod to work.
May need to 'make clean' or touch a build.lua file, so ackbuilder can
notice the new lar4.s and sar4.s files and build them.
calculated incorrectly because of overflow errors.
Replace it with an extended RELOPPC relocation which understands addis/ori
pairs; add an la pseudoop to the assembler which generates these and the
appropriate relocation. Make good.
