the -U command line option, and one via file scanning. Turns out only the
second would increment the number of global names, so adding names with -U
would cause names found via scanning to fall off the end of the list! This
wouldn't cause linker errors because fixups don't use the list, but would cause
the generated symbol table in the output to be incorrect.
Edit build.lua for programs losing their private assert.h, so they
depend on a list of .h files excluding assert.h.
Remove modules/src/assert; it would be a dependency of cpp.ansi but we
didn't build it, so cpp.ansi uses the libc assert.
I hope that libc <assert.h> can better report failed assertions. Some
old "assert.h" files didn't report the expression. Some reported a
literal "x", because traditional C expanded the macro parameter x in
"x", but ANSI C89 doesn't expand macro parameters in string literals.
This relocation is specific to PowerPC. @davidgiven suggested the
name RELOPPC_LIS in
https://github.com/davidgiven/ack/pull/52#issuecomment-279856501
Reindent the list in h/out.h and util/led/ack.out.5 because
RELOLIS_PPC is a long name. I use spaces and no tabs because the tabs
looked bad in the manual page.
I hastily chose the name RELOLIS for this relocation type. If we want
to rename it, we only need to edit these files:
- h/out.h
- mach/powerpc/as/mach5.c
- util/amisc/ashow.c
- util/led/ack.out.5
- util/led/relocate.c
The new relocation type RELOLIS handles these instructions:
lis RT, ha16[expr] == addis RT, r0, ha16[expr]
lis RT, hi16[expr] == addis RT, r0, hi16[expr]
RELOLIS stores a 32-bit value in the program text. In this value, the
high bit is a ha16 flag, the next 5 bits are the target register RT,
and the low bits are a signed 26-bit offset. The linker replaces this
value with the lis instruction.
The old RELOPPC relocated a ha16/lo16 or hi16/lo16 pair. The new
RELOLIS relocates only a ha16 or hi16, so it is no longer necessary to
have a matching lo16 in the next instruction. The disadvantage is
that RELOLIS has only a signed 26-bit offset, not a 32-bit offset.
Switch the assembler to use RELOLIS for ha16 or hi16 and RELO2 for
lo16. The li32 instruction still uses the old RELOPPC relocation.
This is not the same as my RELOPPC change from my recent mail to
tack-devel (https://sourceforge.net/p/tack/mailman/message/35651528/).
This commit is on a different branch. Here I am throwing away my
RELOPPC change and instead trying RELOLIS.
This commit slightly improves the formatting of the manuals. My
OpenBSD machine uses mandoc(1) to format manuals. I check the manuals
with `mandoc -T lint` and fix most of the warnings. I also make
other changes where mandoc didn't warn me.
roff(7) says, "Each sentence should terminate at the end of an input
line," but we often forgot this rule. I insert some newlines after
sentences that had ended mid-line.
roff(7) also says that blank lines "are only permitted within literal
contexts." I delete blank lines. This removes some extra blank lines
from mandoc's output. If I do want a blank line in the output, I call
".sp 1" to make it in man(7). If I want a blank line in the source,
but not the output, I put a plain dot "." so roff ignores it.
Hyphens used for command-line options, like \-a, should be escaped by
a backslash. I insert a few missing backslashes.
mandoc warns if the date in .TH doesn't look like a date. Our manuals
had a missing date or the RCS keyword "$Revision$". Git doesn't
expand RCS keywords. I put in today's date, 2017-01-18.
Some manuals used tab characters in filled mode. That doesn't work.
I use .nf to turn off filled mode, or I use .IP in man(7) to make the
indentation without a tab character.
ack(1) defined a macro .SB but never used it, so I delete the
definition. I also remove a call to the missing macro .RF.
mandoc warns about empty paragraphs. I deleted them. mandoc also
warned about these macro pairs in anm(1):
.SM
.B text
The .SM did nothing because the .B text is on a different line. I
changed each pair to .SB for small bold text.
I make a few other small changes.
assembler directives, ha16() and has16(), for the upper half; has16() applies
the sign adjustment. .powerpcfixup is now gone, as we generate the relocation
in ha*() instead. Add special logic to the linker for undoing and redoing the
sign adjustment when reading/writing fixups. Tests still pass.
This brings in David Given's PowerPC changes, including the addition
of the modern code generator (mcg) for PowerPC.
Resolve minor conflicts in top build.lua and util/led/main.c
This uses uint32_t for the base, file offset, and alignment of each
section, to be consistent with the usage of uint32_t in h/out.h
Also declare setbit() as static.
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.

hopefully, working.)
Also change the object serialiser/deserialiser to never try to read or
write raw structures; it's way safer this way and we don't need the
performance boost any more.

These files "magically reappeared" after the conversion from CVS to
Mercurial. The old CVS repository deleted these files but did not
record *when* it deleted these files. The conversion resurrected these
files because they have no history of deletion. These files were
probably deleted before year 1995. The CVS repository begins to record
deletions around 1995.
These files may still appear in older revisions of this Mercurial
repository, when they should already be deleted. There is no way to fix
this, because the CVS repository provides no dates of deletion.
