The new .seek assembler pseudo-op advances the location
counter to a fixed offset within a section --- or to a fixed
address, if the section is a .base'd section. It works
somewhat like the GNU assembler's .org pseudo-op, though
with a hopefully less confusing name.
This pseudo-op lets us avoid having to manually compute the
needed boot sector padding in the pc86 start-up code
plat/pc86/boot.s .
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.
Switch from custom assert() to libc assert() in mach/proto/as.
Continue to disable asserts if DEBUG == 0.
This change found a problem in the build system; comm2.y was missing
depedencies on comm0.h and comm1.h. Add the missing dependencies to
the cppfile rule. Allow the dependencies by modifying cppfile in
first/build.lua to act like cfile if t.dir is false.
Now that comm2.y gets rebuilt, I must fix the wrong prototype of
yyparse() in comm1.h.
I got unlucky as induo() in comm5.c was reading beyond the end of the
array. It found an operator "= " ('=' then space) in the garbage, so
it returned a garbage token number, and "VAR = 123" became a syntax
error. Unbreak induo() by terminating the array.
See issue #1 (https://github.com/davidgiven/ack/issues/1). The file
mach/proto/as/comm2.y goes through cpp twice. The _include macro,
defined in comm2.y and used in comm0.h, delays the inclusion of system
header files. The inclusion of <stdint.h> wasn't delayed. This
caused multiple inclusions of <sys/_types.h> in FreeBSD and
<machine/_types.h> in OpenBSD.
Use _include to delay <stdint.h>. Also use _include for "arch.h" and
"out.h", because h/out.h includes <stdint.h> and h/arch.h might
include it in the future.
Sort the system includes in comm0.h by moving them up to be with
<stdint.h>. Must include <stdint.h> before "mach0.c", because
mach/powerpc/as/mach0.c needs it. Must include "mach0.c" before
checking ASLD.
