Checkin 4b9358928b changed the version
message from stdout to stderr, but:
a) doesn't motivate the change in the commit log;
b) bundles that with other changes;
c) is inconsistent with other programs;
d) was done by me and I can't remember any reason for it.
Hence conclude it was unintentional and therefore a bug. Since this
commit was done after 2.05.01 no stable release has been affected.
nasm.c should respect the default debug format of the output format,
instead of replacing it with the first format in the list.
This is cleaner and allows the list to be sorted normally.
This commit rewrites commit 116994111b which was very fragile.
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.

Better grammar and fix incorrect description of the number-overflow
warning (it is not just limited to 64-bit arithmetic overflow, it also
triggers when trying to squeeze in a value which is too large into an
immediate.)

The code to parse the -w/-W options was updating warning_on[], not
warning_on_global[], but warning_on[] is reset at the beginning of
each pass (to let the warning directive work); as a result the -w/-W
options don't actually do anything at all.

Issue better warnings for out-of-range values. This is not yet
complete.
In particular, note we may have out-of-range for values that end up
being subject to optimization. That is because the optimization takes
place on the *truncated* value, not the pre-truncated value.

Put the static information about warnings in a structure, so one can
see what goes with what. Also, change the sense so "true" means
enabled.

Change global_offset_changed from bool to int so that
progress of convergence can be monitored. If change count
does not decrease from previous pass, increment stall counter.
If stall count reaches threshold, terminate assembly
with error message.
Now that there is proper forward reference resolution,
we can get rid of this junk. Wiping the flags also
removed the SBYTEnn flags, causing
cmp eax, a-b
a: nop
b:
to assemble with -Ox like
cmp eax, strict dword -1
This is now fixed.
Users who wish to control the level of optimization can
continue to specify -O0, -O1, or -Ox,
where x can be the letter itself, or any number > 1.
However, even with optimization turned off,
NASM will always make enough passes to resolve
forward references. As a result, INCBIN is now the only
item left in the critical expressions list, although TIMES
still has its own constant value check.
ctype functions take an *int*, which the user is expected to have
taken the input character from getc() and friends, or taken a
character and cast it to (unsigned char).
We don't care about EOF (-1), so use macros that cast to (unsigned
char) for us.
On some platforms, tolower() is implemented as a function call, in
order to handle locale support. We never change locales, so can the
result of tolower() into a table, so we don't have to sit through the
function call every time.
~1.3% overall performance improvement on a macro-heavy benchmark under
Linux x86-64.
- Add %warning directive
- Only unquote an %error or %warning string if it is the only thing on
the directive line.
- Don't expand macros inside a quoted string, even for %error.
Add the -MP option to emit phony targets. Since this means each
header file has to be visited more than once, change the
implementation to use an internal list of all the dependencies, and
centralize the emission of the dependency files.
Implement the dependency options:
-MF: set the file to which dependencies are written.
-MD: generate dependencies in parallel with compilation.
-MT: set the name of the dependency target.
-MQ: same as -MT, but *attempt* to quote it for Makefile safety.
First cut at AVX machinery support. The only instruction implemented
is VPERMIL2PS, and it's probably buggy. I'm checking this in with the
hope that other people can start helping out with (a) testing this,
and (b) adding instructions.
NDISASM support is not there yet.
This checkin creates the following date and time macros:
__DATE__, __TIME__, __UTC_DATE__, __UTC_TIME__: strings
__DATE_NUM__, __TIME_NUM__, __UTC_DATE_NUM__, __UTC_TIME_NUM__:
civil dates in digit-string formats
__POSIX_TIME__: time in POSIX time_t format
is_suppressed_warning() should never return true unless we're actually
dealing with a warning. There is a handful of cases where we pass
ERR_PASS1 down together with errors, but that's mostly because it fits
into an overall pattern. Thus, ignore it.
For PASS1 warnings, only do them when pass0 == 1. The prior passes
are to be considered training passes. This is a bit awkward if we
then hit an error, but it's better than n repeated warnings.
The five-pass-minimum was a hack for a bug which I think is identified
now. Doesn't really change the fact that if you want the optimizer,
you probably want -Ox.
We have a number of bug reports about things not working properly when
the optimizer is running out of passes. I suspect the reason is
simply that we don't properly execute the final passes (pass0 = 1, 2)
when hitting the limit. Make sure we advance pass0 the last few
times.
Avoid redundant error messages:
./nasm
nasm: error: no input file specified
nasm: fatal: file `' is both input and output file
type `nasm -h' for help
... which is more than a wee bit confusing to the user.
Add gcc-style -Wxxx -Wno-xxx warning selection as an alternative to
-w+xxx/-w-xxx.
Add "all" as an alias for all (actual) warnings.
Add "error" to treat warnings as errors.
Address data is always int64_t even if the size itself is smaller;
this was broken on bigendian hosts (still need testing!)
Create simple "write sized object" macros.
Actually generate the appropriate floating-point warnings, and only
one per assembly, pretty please.
Correct the round-to-overflow condition; as written all numbers with a
positive exponent were considered overflows!
