2005-04-11 Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> * NEWS: Mention these changes and their effects. * macro.c (get_token): Use is_name_beginner/is_part_of_name/ is_name_ender. (check_macro): Likewise. (buffer_and_nest): Likewise. Permit multiple labels. Don't discard labels together with the closing pseudo-op. (macro_expand_body): Adjust comment. Range-check input before use. Adjust mis-spelled diagnostic. Use is_name_beginner. * read.c (try_macro): New. (read_a_source_file): New static variable last_eol. Don't list macro expansion lines more than once. Call try_macro. (s_macro): Set section of line_label to absolute instead of undefined. * doc/as.texinfo: Add information on the caveats of these changes. gas/testsuite/ 2005-04-11 Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> * gas/macros/dot.[ls]: New. * gas/macros/macros.exp: Run new test.

+* Macro names and macro parameter names can now be any identifier that would
+ also be legal as a symbol elsewhere. For macro parameter names, this is
+ known to cause problems in certain sources when the respective target uses
+ characters inconsistently, and thus macro parameter references may no longer
+ be recognized as such (see the documentation for details).

* Support the .f_floating, .d_floating, .g_floating and .h_floating directives
for the VAX target in order to be more compatible with the VAX MACRO
assembler.
