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 .
If a .c file included "types.h" before "mach.h", then it missed the
declaration of mach_option(). Fix by adding "xmach.h".
Fix mach/powerpc/ncg/mach.h and mach/vc4/ncg/mach.h to use the correct
type in their printf() format strings.
Also add `static` and remove `register` in mach/proto/top/top.c. A
static function is only in one file, so its function declaration may
go in that file, instead of a header file.
Edit C code to reduce warnings from clang. Most warnings are for
implicit declarations of functions, but some warnings want me to add
parentheses or curly braces, or to cast arguments for printf().
Make a few other changes, like declaring float_cst() in h/con_float to
be static, and using C99 bool in ego/ra/makeitems.c and
ego/share/makecldef.c. Such changes don't silence warnings; I make
such changes while I silence warnings in the same file. In
float_cst(), rename parameter `str` to `float_str`, so it doesn't
share a name with the global variable `str`.
Remove `const` from `newmodule(const char *)` in mach/proto/as to
silence a warning. I wrongly added the `const` in d347207.
For warnings about implicit declarations of functions, the fix is to
declare the function before calling it. For example, my OpenBSD
system needs <sys/wait.h> to declare wait().
In util/int, add "whatever.h" to declare more functions. Remove old
declarations from "mem.h", to prefer the newer declarations of the
same functions in "data.h" and "stack.h".
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.
edge splitting can cause new basic blocks to be added to the graph, but while
the graph itself gets properly rewritten the descriptor tables can't be updated
to take these into account, so they end up pointing at the wrong blocks. This
causes really hard-to-debug problems.
The new approach is to parse the descriptor blocks and then generate a
comparison chain. Brute force, but much easier for the compiler to reason
about.
need flt_arith any more. (And also generates them correctly on little-endian
systems.) as now parses numbers properly, doesn't trash memory all over the
place, and can handle negative numbers.
This drops 124 bytes from the mandelbrot command (from 15015 to 14891
bytes) but has almost no effect on performance; the command takes
about 144 seconds (in YAZE-AG) both before and after optimizing libfp.
This library is for software floating point. The i80 back end has
never implemented floating point, and might not be ready for libfp.
This commit only builds libfp without using it.
I edit first/build.lua and plat/build.lua to allow `ack -c.s`, then
use FP.script to edit the assembly code. I edit FP.script so it
writes the edited assembly code to stdout, not to the input file.
