Add something approaching real ELF header files.
Begin merging the common ELF code, beginning with the section name
detection.
Drop automatic generation of .comment section, and in particular the
treatment of .common as a special section (if we decide generating
.comment is still a good idea, we should just do it as a macro.)
Augment the list of known sections, and make it table-driven.

Linear searches are evil, so use an llrbtree to search for symbols by
offset. This doesn't change the preexisting behaviour that we only
look for global symbols.

Move all the version strings to a single compilation unit, ver.c; this
does not include the version macros, which are fed into macros.c.

Drop the data pointer, and instead assume the struct rbtree will be
embedded in a bigger data structure (to be extracted via
container_of()).

Implement library functions for "left-leaning red-black trees" with
uint64_t keys. This is meant for looking up symbols by address in the
backends that need to do so, e.g. ELF.
A good question is if there is a better way to do this, that recovers
the original symbol, but that's a future issue.

Add a common file, outlib.c, for output formats. Add the function
realsize() instead of open-coded variants in almost every backend.

Move the handling of "extra" macros (i.e. output format macros) into
the macros.pl mechanism. This allows us to change the format of the
internal macro store in the future - e.g. to a single byte store
without redundant pointers.
Also, stop using indicies into a long array when there is no good
reason to not just use different arrays.
Compress macros.c by representing macro directives with a single byte.
We can do this because we only use the ASCII character range inside
the standard macro files.
Note: we could save significant additional space by not having a
pointer array, and instead relying on the fact that we sweep
sequentially through the output array.
Add a builtin equivalent to the %include directive called %use.
%use includes a standard macro file compiled into the binary; these
come from the macros/ directory in the source code.
The idea here is to be able to provide optional macro packages with
the distribution, without adding complex host filesystem dependencies.
"make alldeps" doesn't really like it when included files end in *.c.
Instead of renaming insnsb.c to insnsb.h, make it an actual
compilation unit, since there really isn't any reason for it not to
be.
Generate a byte array instead of using C compiler strings for the byte
codes. This has a few advantages:
- No need to special-case zero due to broken C compilers.
- Only insns.pl only ever reads the string, so we can invent our own
syntax.
- Compaction.
- We can give it the proper, unsigned type.
When using temporaries in macros, given them a unique prefix to avoid
namespace collisions when using one macro inside another.
Move the WSAA*() macros from outelf32/outelf64 to a separate header
file.
To deal with fools^Wpeople trying to keep really old systems alive,
create a proper framework for substitution functions, and make it
possible to deal with the lack of snprintf/vsnprintf in particular.
Add special operators to allow the use of floating-point constants in
contexts other than DW/DD/DQ/DT/DO.
As part of this checkin, make MAX_KEYWORD generated by tokhash.pl,
since it knows what all the keywords are so it can tell which one is
the longest.
Update nasm.spec.in to match modern conventions, and make it handle rc
releases by using the "mangled" version of the name (1.99.99.91
instead of 2.0rc1).
Sort the dependency lists generated by "mkdep.pl", to make sure that
re-running "make alldeps" doesn't change anything unless there has
been real dependency changes. The previous version could produce
different output between runs and across platforms.
Use the new hash table function library to store labels. When
compiling on my 64-bit system, it reduces the assembly time for the
output of test/perf/label.pl from 73 to 7 seconds.
We have a lot of enumerations; by declaring fields as such, we make it
easier when debugging, since the debugger can display the enumerations
in cleartext. However, make sure exceptional values (like -1) are
included in the enumeration, since the compiler otherwise may not
include it in the valid range of the enumeration.
