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.
Since we fold the f- and g-functions together, if we guarantee that g is
bipartite, we can make g twice the size of f without cost. This greatly
improves the odds of generating a smaller hash.
Finish the perfect hash tokenizer, and actually enable it.
Move stdscan() et al to a separate file, since it's not needed in any
of the clients of nasmlib other than nasm itself.
Run make alldeps.
