Most machines had undefined valu_t and redefined it to a different
type. Edit mach/*/as/mach0.c to remove such redefinitions, so the
next change to valu_t will affect all machines.
Edit mach/proto/as/comm0.h to change valu_t to int64_t, and add
uvalu_t and uint64_t.
Remove int64_t y_valu8 from the yacc %union, now that valu_t y_valu
can hold 64 bits. Replace y_valu8 with y_valu. The .data8 pseudo
becomes less special; it now accepts absolute expressions.
This change simplifies the assembler and seems to have no effect on
the assembled output. Among the files in share/ack/examples, the only
changes are in hilo_bas.* and startrek_c.linuxppc, but those files
seem to change whenever I rebuild them.
Type word_t is for encoding the machine instructions. It only needs
32 bits for PowerPC. It was long (which can have 32 or 64 bits), and
there was a second type quad (which was uint32_t). Switch word_t to
uint32_t and replace quad with word_t.
Also change valu_t and ADDR_T away from long.
Also make a few changes to basic mnemonics. Fix typo in name of the
basic "creqv". Add the basic "addc" and relatives, because it would
be odd to have the extended "subc" without "addc". Fix the basic
"rldicl", "rldicr", "rldic", "rldimi" to correctly encode the 6-bit MB
field. Fix "slw" and relatives to correctly swap their RA and RS
operands.
Add many, but not all, of the extended mnemonics from IBM's Power ISA
Version 2.06 Book I Appendix E. (I used 2.06, published 2009, just
because I already had the PDF of it.) This commit includes mnemonics
for branching, subtraction, traps, bit rotation, and a few others,
like "mflr" and "nop". The assembler now understands branches like
`beq cr7, label` and bit shifts like `slwi r7, r7, 2`. These encode
the same machine instructions as the basic "bc" and "rlwinm".
Some operands to basic names become optional. The assembler no longer
requires the level in "sc" or the branch hint in "bcctr" and "bclr";
they default to zero. Some extended names take an optional branch
hint or condition register.
Some extended names are still missing. I don't provide names with
static branch prediction, like "beq+" or "bge-", because the assembler
parses '+' and '-' as operators, not as part of an instruction name.
I also don't provide some names that 2.06 has for moving to or from
the condition register or some special purpose registers, names like
"mtcr" or "mfuamr".
This commit also deletes some unused tokens and one unused yacc rule.
