Before the patch, running the GNU tbl(1) preprocessor on the
troff file app.codes.nr would give a warning
$ tbl app.codes.nr >app.codes.nr.2
tbl:app.codes.nr:139: no real data
tbl:app.codes.nr:139: giving up on this table
and the table of suffixes
.z no arguments
.l 16-bit argument
... ...
would be left out of the tbl output.
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 .
The follows( ) function uses pa->os_lign when determining
whether an output section pa immediately follows another
section pb.
However, emits( ) was not using this alignment information
when laying out and padding the output sections. This seems
to be a bug.
I suspect that mach/arm/cv/cv.c might need a similar fix.
This should fix at least some instances of the "undefined
reference to `LLnc_recover'" error that happens in some
builds (https://github.com/davidgiven/ack/issues/218).
The bug was that genname( ) used a static `namebuf' buffer
and did not properly check for overflow when writing into
it. The result was that the `non_corr' variable was
sometimes overwritten with a non-zero value when it should
be zero, causing bogus results later.
This proposed patch makes genname( ) dynamically allocate
and resize a buffer for holding a target file name.
I also take this chance to fix a typo in correct_prefix().
bug caused by this instruction:
fmove.l fp0,d0
problem was caused by a conflict between the fpu emulator (softfloat) and the compiler.
the emulator implemented this as a purely arithmetic move & conversion,
but the compiler assumed that the result could be interpreted as a logical (ie unsigned) conversion.
rightly or wrongly.
for example, if fp0 contained the value 2576980377.0 which is unsigned integer -1717987328
the emulator would treat this as an integer overflow and move 0x7fffffff (INT_MAX) into d0.
The complier on the other hand would assume that d0 contained 2576980377 (the unsigned value).
I don't know which is correct, but this is my fix for the time being.
problem was implementation of fint & fintrz floating point ops in m68kfpu.c
Both these ops truncated the integer to 32 bits instead of leaving it as an extended precision floating point number
Changed the implementation to use 64 bit ints instead of 32 bit ints.
latest version of musashi engine
includes floating point emulation
(plus a few patches to add in missing opcodes needed by ack - see tags JFF & TBB)
added a few missing linux syscalls in sim.c
pascal now runs pretty well
quick test with modula2 passes
c gets the floating point numbers wrong, so more work needed here
other languages untested
plat/linux68k/emu/build.lua is probably not quite right - the softfloat directory is compiled in the wrong place
left_shift() adapts the example from @davidgiven that caused `ack -O3`
to crash. multiply() is a similar example.
Edit the build system to use -O3 for this test. It now takes -O3 from
the test's filename, and still defaults to -O0.
The strength reduction (SR) phase mishandled the END pseudo when SR
found at least 2 different expressions in the same loop, and SR made a
new header for the loop.
Since 1987 (commit 159b84e), SR appended the new header to the end of
the procedure. Later, SR fixed the header by adding a BRA branch to
the loop's entry, and moving the END pseudo from the previous basic
block to the header. If SR found multiple expressions, it called
fix_header() multiple times, and tried to move the END again. The
extra move failed assert(INSTR(e) == ps_end), or moved another line
after the END, so opt2 (the peephole optimizer) would crash.
Fix by removing fix_header() and moving the code to make_header(), so
SR adds the BRA and moves the END when it makes the header, and does
so only once for each header.
Adjust init_code(), which inserts code into a header. Stop checking
for an empty header, because make_header() now adds BRA. After
inserting code before BRA, don't move LP_INSTR, because later
insertions should go before BRA, not after END.
Our build enables assertions in some other ACK tools (like assemblers
and LLgen), but disabled them in ego until now. Bug #203 becomes a
failed assertion in ego's SR phase:
sr: util/ego/sr/sr_reduce.c:483: fix_header: Assertion
`INSTR(e) == ps_end' failed.
Comment out 2 assertions in util/ego/share, because they fail on
systems with 4-byte int, 8-byte long.
