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.
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.
Add more page numbers from PowerPC version 2.01. Remove "xnop" not in
2.01, add "mtcr" from 2.01. Add "lwarx" and the other instructions
from Book II. I did not try all the newly added instructions, but
these seem to work: dcbt, dcbtst, icibi, isync, lwarx, stwcx., mftb,
mftbu
In man/powerpc_as.6 (not installed), add a summary of the registers
and addressing modes (like in i386_as.6), describe short forms, update
description of hi16/ha16, add CAVEATS about instructions that some
processors can't run.
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.
