This came up because I was looking at ld/tmpdir/addpcis.o and noticed
the odd addends on REL16DX_HA. They ought to both be -4. The error
crept in due REL16DX_HA howto being pc-relative (as indeed it should
be), and code at gas/write.c:1001 after this comment
/* Make it pc-relative. If the back-end code has not
selected a pc-relative reloc, cancel the adjustment
we do later on all pc-relative relocs. */
*not* cancelling the pc-relative adjustment. So I've made a dummy
non-relative split reloc so that the generic code handles this, rather
than attempting to add hacks later in md_apply_fix which would not be
very robust. Having the new internal reloc also makes it easy to
support
addpcis rx,sym@ha
as an equivalent to
addpcis rx,(sym-0f)@ha
0:
The patch also fixes overflow checking, which must test whether the
addi will overflow too since @l relocs don't have any overflow check.
Lastly, since I was poking at md_apply_fix, I arranged to have the
generic gas/write.c code emit errors for subtraction expressions where
we lack reloc support.
