m68k options --base-size-default-16, --base-size-default-32,
|
|
|
|
|
|
--disp-size-default-16, and --disp-size-default-32 added.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The alignment directives now take an optional third argument, which is the
|
|
|
|
|
|
maximum number of bytes to skip. If doing the alignment would require skipping
|
|
|
|
|
|
more than the given number of bytes, the alignment is not done at all.
|
|
|
|
|
|

The ELF assembler has a new pseudo-op, .symver, used for symbol versioning.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The -a option takes a new suboption, c (e.g., -alc), to skip false conditionals
|
|
|
|
|
|
in listings.

|
The PowerPC assembler now allows the use of symbolic register names (r0, etc.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
if -mregnames is used. Symbolic names preceded by a '%' (%r0, etc.) can be
|
|
|
|
|
|
used any time. PowerPC 860 move to/from SPR instructions have been added.
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
default is to build COFF-only support. To get a set of tools that generate ELF
|
|
|
|
|
|
(they'll understand both COFF and ELF), you must configure with
|
|
|

Gas now has an MRI assembler compatibility mode. Use -M or --mri to select MRI
|
|
|
|
|
|
mode. The pseudo-op ``.mri 1'' will switch into the MRI mode until the ``.mri
|
|
|
|
|
|
0'' is seen; this can be convenient for inline assembler code.

Handles (ignores) a new directive ".this_GCC_requires_the_GNU_assembler", to
|
|
|
|
|
|
provide for possible future gcc changes, for targets where gas provides some
|
|
|
|
|
|
features not available in the native assembler. If the native assembler is
|
|
|
|
|
|
used, it should become obvious pretty quickly what the problem is.

RS/6000 and PowerPC support by Ian Taylor.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
VMS command scripts (make-gas.com, config-gas.com) have been worked on a bit,
|
|
|
|
|
|
based on mail received from various people. The `-h#' option should work again
|

HP-PA work, by Jeff Law. Note, for the PA, gas-2.3 has been designed to work
|
|
|
|
|
|
with gdb-4.12 and gcc-2.6. As gcc-2.6 has not been released yet, a special
|
|
|
|
|
|
version of gcc-2.5.8 has been patched to work with gas-2.3. You can retrieve
|
|
|
|
|
|
this special version of gcc-2.5.8 via anonymous ftp from jaguar.cs.utah.edu
|
|
|
|
|
|
in the "dist" directory.

Vax support in gas fixed for BSD, so it builds and seems to run a couple simple
|
|
|
|
|
|
tests okay. I haven't put it through extensive testing. (GNU make is
|
|
|
|
|
|
currently required for BSD 4.3 builds.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Support for the DEC Alpha, running OSF/1 (ECOFF format). The gas support is
|
|
|
|
|
|
based on code donated by CMU, which used an a.out-based format. I'm afraid the
|
|
|
|
|
|
alpha-a.out support is pretty badly mangled, and much of it removed; making it
|
|
|
|
|
|
work will require rewriting it as BFD support for the format anyways.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Irix 5 support.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The test suites have been fixed up a bit, so that they should work with a
|
|
|
|
|
|
couple different versions of expect and dejagnu.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Symbols' values are now handled internally as expressions, permitting more
|
|
|
|
|
|
flexibility in evaluating them in some cases. Some details of relocation
|
|
|
|
|
|
handling have also changed, and simple constant pool management has been added,
|
|
|
|
|
|
to make the Alpha port easier.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New option "--statistics" for printing out program run times. This is intended
|
|
|
|
|
|
to be used with the gcc "-Q" option, which prints out times spent in various
|
|
|
|
|
|
phases of compilation. (You should be able to get all of them printed out with
|
|
|
|
|
|
"gcc -Q -Wa,--statistics", I think.)

Changes in 2.2:
|
1994-09-23 21:44:17 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
RS/6000 AIX and MIPS SGI Irix 5 support has been added.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configurations that are still in development (and therefore are convenient to
|
|
|
|
|
|
have listed in configure.in) still get rejected without a minor change to
|
|
|
|
|
|
gas/Makefile.in, so people not doing development work shouldn't get the
|
|
|
|
|
|
impression that support for such configurations is actually believed to be
|
|
|
|
|
|
reliable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The program name (usually "as") is printed when a fatal error message is
|
|
|
|
|
|
displayed. This should prevent some confusion about the source of occasional
|
|
|
|
|
|
messages about "internal errors".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ELF support is falling into place. Support for the 386 should be working.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Support for SPARC Solaris is in. HPPA support from Utah is being integrated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Symbol values are maintained as expressions instead of being immediately boiled
|
|
|
|
|
|
down to add-symbol, sub-symbol, and constant. This permits slightly more
|
|
|
|
|
|
complex calculations involving symbols whose values are not alreadey known.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DBX-style debugging info ("stabs") is now supported for COFF formats.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If any stabs directives are seen in the source, GAS will create two new
|
|
|
|
|
|
sections: a ".stab" and a ".stabstr" section. The format of the .stab
|
|
|
|
|
|
section is nearly identical to the a.out symbol format, and .stabstr is
|
|
|
|
|
|
its string table. For this to be useful, you must have configured GCC
|
|
|
|
|
|
to generate stabs (by defining DBX_DEBUGGING_INFO), and must have a GDB
|
|
|
|
|
|
that can use the stab sections (4.11 or later).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
LynxOS, on i386 and m68k platforms, is now supported. SPARC LynxOS
|
|
|
|
|
|
support is in progress.

Changes in 2.1:
|
1994-09-23 21:44:17 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Several small fixes for i386-aix (PS/2) support from Minh Tran-Le have been
|
|
|
|
|
|
incorporated, but not well tested yet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Altered the opcode table split for m68k; it should require less VM to compile
|
|
|
|
|
|
with gcc now.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some minor adjustments to add (Convergent Technologies') Miniframe support,
|
|
|
|
|
|
suggested by Ronald Cole.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
HPPA support (running OSF only, not HPUX) has been contributed by Utah. This
|
|
|
|
|
|
includes improved ELF support, which I've started adapting for SPARC Solaris
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.x. Integration isn't completely, so it probably won't work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
HP9000/300 support, donated by HP, has been merged in.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ian Taylor has finished the MIPS ECOFF (Ultrix, Irix) support.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Better error messages for unsupported configurations (e.g., hppa-hpux).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Test suite framework is starting to become reasonable.

|
1994-09-23 21:44:17 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mostly bug fixes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some more merging of BFD and ELF code, but ELF still doesn't work.

Changes in 1.94:

1994-09-23 21:44:17 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
BFD merge is partly done. Adventurous souls may try giving configure the
|
|
|
|
|
|
"--with-bfd-assembler" option. Currently, ELF format requires it, a.out format
|
|
|
|
|
|
accepts it; SPARC CPU accepts it. It's the default only for OS "elf" or
|
|
|
|
|
|
"solaris". (ELF isn't really supported yet. It needs work. I've got some
|
|
|
|
|
|
code from Utah for HP-PA ELF, and from DG for m88k ELF, but they're not fully
|
|
|
|
|
|
merged yet.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The 68K opcode table has been split in half. It should now compile under gcc
|
|
|
|
|
|
without consuming ridiculous amounts of memory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A couple data structures have been reduced in size. This should result in
|
|
|
|
|
|
saving a little bit of space at runtime.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Support for MIPS, from OSF and Ralph Campbell, has been merged in. The OSF
|
|
|
|
|
|
code provided ROSE format support, which I haven't merged in yet. (I can make
|
|
|
|
|
|
it available, if anyone wants to try it out.) Ralph's code, for BSD 4.4,
|
|
|
|
|
|
supports a.out format. We don't have ECOFF support in just yet; it's coming.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Support for the Hitachi H8/500 has been added.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
VMS host and target support should be working now, thanks chiefly to Eric
|
|
|
|
|
|
Youngdale.

Changes in 1.93.01:

1994-09-23 21:44:17 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For m68k, support for more processors has been added: 68040, CPU32, 68851.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For i386, .align is now power-of-two; was number-of-bytes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For m68k, "%" is now accepted before register names. For COFF format, which
|
|
|
|
|
|
doesn't use underscore prefixes for C labels, it is required, so variable "a0"
|
|
|
|
|
|
can be distinguished from the register.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Last public release was 1.38. Lots of configuration changes since then, lots
|
|
|
|
|
|
of new CPUs and formats, lots of bugs fixed.
