Assembler and Linker: vasm 1.7b and vlink 0.15
Frank Wille has released updates of the modular assembler vasm and of the corresponding linker vlink.
Changes in vasm 1.7b:
- Fixed stack overflow and crash when using recursively defined symbols. Bug was present since introducing new 128-bit and float expressions in 1.7
- Issue a warning when a symbol was declared as external, but nowhere referenced in the source
- m68k: Do not optimize MOVEM to MOVEA or MOVE when predecrement or postincrement addressing mode is used with a register from the list
- m68k: The Devpac directive OPT X (xdebug) works now as expected for hunk-format object files and for TOS executables
- m68k: In Devpac-compatibility mode (-devpac) the __LK symbol is predefined and reflects the output file type: 0 = Atari executable, 3 = Amiga object, 4 = Amiga executable, 99 = all others which are unknown to Devpac
- m68k: MOVEM #list,-(An) must not reverse the bit mask automatically, but expect an already reversed one
- m68k: BTST #n,#m is illegal
- m68k: LEA (d32,An),Am translation to MOVE.L/ADD.L stopped working with V1.6c. Fixed again
- ARM: TEQP, TSTP, CMNP and CMPP were missing for AA2
- ARM: Fixed recognition of addressing mode and condition codes with instructions written in upper case
- 6502: New option -c02 to enable 65C02 instructions
- mot-syntax: In PhxAss- and Devpac-compatibility mode only the directives which are known by the emulated assembler are supported
- mot-syntax: RS, SO and FO offset directives use an aligned offset in Devpac-compatibility mode or when the -align option is given
- std-syntax: The optional third argument of .balign/.p2align/.align is now really supported and defines a maximum number of padding bytes
- std-syntax: New directives: .balignw, .balignl, .p2alignw, .p2alignl, .zero, .swbeg
- std-syntax: .word should rather define 16-bit than 32-bit constants
- std-syntax: .local followed by .comm should be the same as .lcomm
- oldstyle-syntax: Fixed recognizion of .equ/.eq/.set/.mac/.macro with -dotdir option
- hunk-output: New option -linedebug automatically generates a LINE DEBUG hunk for the input source
- aout-output: Always generate an external reference to a weak symbol, even when the symbol is defined
- elf-output: Always generate an external reference to a weak symbol, even when the symbol is defined.
Changes in vlink 0.15:
- (ados/ehf) Support for SAS/C style indexed libraries (HUNK_LIB)
- (ados/ehf) -Csasc is accepted to build a table with SAS/C constructors and destructors. It looks for functions named __STI_... and __STD_...
- (tos) New option -tos-textbased to write symbol offsets which are based on the text section (MonST-comaptible)
- (tos) text and data section size in the header must not be odd
- (aoutmint) text and data section size in the header must not be odd
