Remove casts from allocations. This is simply Not How To Do Things: every cast carries a potential risk of being a toxic type misuse (e.g. pointer as integer) and so any unnecessary cast is actively harmful. Note that a lot of allocations here are completely unnecessary: the core code now guarantees that all filenames are permanently allocated for the duration of the assembly, and so should be turned into const char * without any further allocation. Any remaining malloc+strcpy should be turned into nasm_strdup(), and nasm_new[n]() used whereever possible. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
NASM, the Netwide Assembler.
Many many developers all over the net respect NASM for what it is
- a widespread (thus netwide), portable (thus netwide!), very
flexible and mature assembler tool with support for many output
formats (thus netwide!!).
Now we have good news for you: NASM is licensed under the "simplified"
(2-clause) BSD license. This means its development is open to even
wider society of programmers wishing to improve their lovely
assembler.
The NASM project is now situated at SourceForge.net, the most
popular Open Source development site on the Internet.
