I just don't know about it. Email me, +raeburn@cygnus.com and I'll correct the situation. + +This file will eventually be deleted: The general info will go into +the documentation, and info on specific files will go into an AUTHORS +file, as requested by the FSF. + +++++++++++++++++ + +Dean Elsner wrote the original gas for vax. [more details?] + +Jay Fenlason maintained gas for a while, adding support for +gdb-specific debug information and the 68k series machines, most of +the preprocessing pass, and extensive changes in messages.c, +input-file.c, write.c. + +K. Richard Pixley maintained gas for a while, adding various +enhancements and many bug fixes, including merging support for several +processors, breaking gas up to handle multiple object file format +backends (including heavy rewrite, testing, an integration of the coff +and b.out backends), adding configuration including heavy testing and +verification of cross assemblers and file splits and renaming, +converted gas to strictly ansi C including full prototypes, added +support for m680[34]0 & cpu32, considerable work on i960 including a +coff port (including considerable amounts of reverse engineering), a +sparc opcode file rewrite, decstation, rs6000, and hp300hpux host +ports, updated "know" assertions and made them work, much other +reorganization, cleanup, and lint. + +Ken Raeburn currently maintains gas, and wrote the high-level BFD +interface code to replace most of the code in format-specific I/O +modules. + +The original Vax-VMS support was contributed by David L. Kashtan. +Eric Youngdale and Pat Rankin have done much work with it since. + +The Intel 80386 machine description was written by Eliot Dresselhaus. + +Minh Tran-Le at IntelliCorp contributed some AIX 386 support. + +The Motorola 88k machine description was contributed by Devon Bowen of +Buffalo University and Torbjorn Granlund of the Swedish Institute of +Computer Science. + +Keith Knowles at the Open Software Foundation wrote the original MIPS +back end (tc-mips.c, tc-mips.h), and contributed Rose format support +that hasn't been merged in yet. Ralph Campbell worked with the MIPS +code to support a.out format. + +Support for the Zilog Z8k and Hitachi H8/300, H8/500 and SH processors +(tc-z8k, tc-h8300, tc-h8500, tc-sh), and IEEE 695 object file format +(obj-ieee), was written by Steve Chamberlain of Cygnus Solutions. +Steve also modified the COFF back end (obj-coffbfd) to use BFD for +some low-level operations, for use with the Hitachi, 29k and Zilog +targets. + +John Gilmore built the AMD 29000 support, added .include support, and +simplified the configuration of which versions accept which +pseudo-ops. He updated the 68k machine description so that Motorola's +opcodes always produced fixed-size instructions (e.g. jsr), while +synthetic instructions remained shrinkable (jbsr). John fixed many +bugs, including true tested cross-compilation support, and one bug in +relaxation that took a week and required the proverbial one-bit fix. + +Ian Lance Taylor of Cygnus Solutions merged the Motorola and MIT +syntaxes for the 68k, completed support for some COFF targets (68k, +i386 SVR3, and SCO Unix), wrote the ECOFF support based on Michael +Meissner's mips-tfile program, wrote the PowerPC and RS/6000 support, +and made a few other minor patches. He handled the binutils releases +for versions 2.7 through 2.9. + +David Edelsohn contributed fixes for the PowerPC and AIX support. + +Steve Chamberlain made gas able to generate listings. + +Support for the HP9000/300 was contributed by Glenn Engel of HP. + +Support for ELF format files has been worked on by Mark Eichin of +Cygnus Solutions (original, incomplete implementation), Pete +Hoogenboom at the University of Utah (HPPA mainly), Michael Meissner +of the Open Software Foundation (i386 mainly), and Ken Raeburn of +Cygnus Solutions (sparc, initial 64-bit support). + +Several engineers at Cygnus Solutions have also provided many small +bug fixes and configuration enhancements. + +The initial Alpha support was contributed by Carnegie-Mellon +University. Additional work was done by Ken Raeburn of Cygnus +Solutions. Richard Henderson then rewrote much of the Alpha support. + +Ian Dall updated the support code for the National Semiconductor 32000 +series, and added support for Mach 3 and NetBSD running on the PC532. + +Klaus Kaempf ported the assembler and the binutils to openVMS/Alpha. + +Steve Haworth contributed the support for the Texas Instruction c30 +(tms320c30). + +H.J. Lu has contributed many patches and much testing. + +Alan Modra reworked much of the i386 backend, improving the error +checking, updating the code, and improving the 16 bit support, using +patches from the work of Martynas Kunigelis and H.J. Lu. + +Many others have contributed large or small bugfixes and enhancements. If +you've contributed significant work and are not mentioned on this list, and +want to be, let us know. Some of the history has been lost; we aren't +intentionally leaving anyone out. |
