This turns EM `con 5000000000I8` into assembly `.data8 5000000000` for
machines i386, i80, i86, m68020, powerpc, vc4. These are the only ncg
machines in our build.
i80 and i86 get con_mult(sz) for sz == 4 and sz == 8. The other
machines only get sz == 8, because they have 4-byte words, and ncg
only calls con_mult(sz) when sz is greater than the word size. The
tab "\t" after .data4 or .data8 is like the tabs in the con_*() macros
of mach/*/ncg/mach.h.
i86 now uses .data4, like i80. Also, i86 and i386 now use the numeric
string without converting it to an integer and back to a string.
This takes literal integers, not expressions, because each machine
defines its own valu_t for expressions, but valu_t can be too narrow
for an 8-byte integer, and I don't want to change all the machines to
use a wider valu_t. Instead, change how the assembler parses literal
integers. Remove the NUMBER token and add a NUMBER8 token for an
int64_t. The new .data8 pseudo emits all 8 bytes of the int64_t;
expressions narrow the int64_t to a valu_t. Don't add any checks for
integer overflow; expressions and .data* pseudos continue to ignore
overflow when a number is too wide.
This commit requires int64_t and uint64_t in the C compiler to build
the assembler. The ACK's own C compiler doesn't have these.
For the assembler's temporary file, add NUMBER4 to store 4-byte
integers. NUMBER4 acts like NUMBER[0-3] and only stores a
non-negative integer. Each negative integer now takes 8 bytes (up
from 4) in the temporary file.
Move the `\fI` and `\fP` in the uni_ass(6) manual, so the square
brackets in `thing [, thing]*` are not italic. This looks nicer in my
terminal, where italic text is underlined.
This causes clang to give fewer warnings of implicit declarations of
functions.
In mach/pdp/cv/cv.c, rename wr_int2() to cv_int2() because it
conflicts with wr_int2() in <object.h>.
In util/ack, rename F_OK to F_TRANSFORM because it conflicts with F_OK
for access() in <unistd.h>.
unsigned comparisons is surprisingly not that useful due to marshalling
overhead; it's only four bytes to do inline (plus jc), or six for a constant.
Also add some useful top optimisations. Star Trek goes from 39890 to 39450
bytes.
