was nearly useless; lots of fixes to qemuppc and pc86 sbrk(), which was broken;
change the pc86 console to echo output to the serial port (needed for running
tests on qemu).
standard library, because they never worked and come from an achingly old
version of the Pascal specification. Fix the implementations of New() and
Dispose() to use the standard C memory allocator rather than rolling their own
(also in C). Write test!
The system call puts the time in a pair of registers, not in the
timeval structure. Add code to move the time to the structure, so
programs see the correct time, not garbage. This fixes our example
programs that use the time as a random seed.
This preserves the name and value of every symbol. The type and other
info of a symbol might be lost. In gdb, one can now "disas main" or
"disas '.ret'" to disassemble functions by name.
Most symbols are in sections, so I also teach cvmach to emit the Mach
section headers. The entry point in plat/osx*/descr moves down to
make room for the section headers and LC_SYMTAB.
I fix some bugs in calculations of cvmach. They were wrong if ROM had
a greater alignment than TEXT, or if DATA did not start on a page
boundary. I introduce machseg[] to simplify the mess of variables in
main(). I declare most functions as static. Also, cvmach becomes the
first program to #include <object.h>.
This header declares functions in libobject. Our programs never
included object.h, but called functions in libobject without declaring
them. So, our build system never put object.h in the include path;
any #include <object.h> would fail to find the header.
With this commit, a program may #include <object.h> if it has
modules/src/object+lib in its deps.
Declare structs in object.h so we can use them in prototypes without
gcc warning, "'struct whatever' declared inside parameter list".
Remove inclusion of ansi.h from object.h. Programs would need to
depend on modules+headers to get ansi.h in the include path.
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.
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.
occasionally the first hop of a block would try to rearrange its registers (due
to evicted throughs), resulting in the phi moves copying values into the wrong
registers.
