@ -57,9 +57,19 @@ Remove DONTDEF code, commented-out code.
Eliminate, as much as possible, anything not in config that is conditionalized
on a CPU, format, or environment.
Merge COFF support into one version, supporting all the pseudo-ops used in
either versions now, but using BFD for high-level operations. (See second
following item.) Currently there are two versions (plus the new BFD code),
which support different features, and are used on different targets.
Convert remaining a.out/b.out targets to using the BFD_ASSEMBLER code by
default.
Finish conversion to using BFD for all object file writing. (This is the
BFD_ASSEMBLER code, not BFD or BFD_HEADERS.) VMS might be the tough one here,
since there's no BFD support for it at all yet. Eliminate the old code.
since there's no BFD support for it at all yet. Eliminate the old code. Some
of this can be done target by target, so doing a target where the CPU or
format already supports BFD_ASSEMBLER mode may be easiest.
Fix lots of uses of empty strings to use null pointers. Will improve
efficiency, and should make code clearer too.
@ -68,11 +78,20 @@ Clean up comments; lots of 'em are one previous maintainer griping about
another previous maintainer, unrelated to the code. (And with no names,
they're not so fun to read. :-)
Lots of documentation.
Get Steve to document H8/500 stuff (and others).
Get Steve to document H8/500 stuff.
Improve test suite. Incorporate more reported net bugs, and non-confidential
Cygnus customer bugs, and anything else.
Put together a test suite, using DejaGnu.
Add support for i386/i486 16-bit mode, so operating system initialization code
doesn't require a separate assembler nor lots of `.byte' directives.
See if it's more maintainable (and not too much of a performance loss) to use
a yacc grammar for parsing input. The lexer will have to be flexible, and the
grammar will have to contain any construct used on any platform, but it may be
easier to maintain, instead of having code in most of the back ends.
PIC support.
