Thu Nov 28 13:21:41 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (sac at rtl.cygnus.com)

	* config/obj-coff-bfd: made multiple sections with subsections
	work.

	* as.h: New improved way of specifying MANY_SEGMENTS
	* configure.in: hds object format is now coff-bfd
	* subsegs.h: add line numbers and section stuff to the

	COFF specific)
	

Thu Oct 24 17:25:59 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (steve at rtl.cygnus.com)

	* config/obj-coff.c (obj_coff_dim): Allows newline to end a
	.dim statement.

Mon Oct 21 09:25:33 1991  Steve Chamberlain  (steve at rtl.cygnus.com)

	* configure.in: added ebmon entry.
	* output-file.c (output_file_create, output_file_close) added
	stuff to use bfd.
	* write.c: more bfd support
	* config/obj-coff.c  config/obj-coff.h use bfd for swapping
	header info.
	* tc-a29k: added the reloc types we support now
	

Mon Oct 14 11:44:03 1991  Roland H. Pesch  (pesch at cygnus.com)

	* doc/Makefile (as.ms): one more sed workaround for texi2roff
	(as.mm, as.me): new targets

Fri Oct 11 18:18:37 1991  Roland H. Pesch  (pesch at cygnus.com)

	* doc/Makefile: new targets as.info, as.ms
	doc/as.texinfo: minor changes for texi2roff-2
	Makefile.in: revise 'doc' target.	

Fri Jan  4 12:48:22 EST 1991	Jay Fenlason (hack@ai.mit.edu)

	* messages.c  Moved as_perror from input-scrub.c  Modified the
	error messages to look better.

	* output-file.c Don't call as_fatal, just call exit()

	expr.c Slightly improve checking for foo-foo case in
	clean_up_expression().  Detect foo: bar: ... foo-bar...

Tue Dec  4 16:29:20 EST 1990	Jay Fenlason (hack@ai.mit.edu)

	* m68k.c  Fixed an obscure bug involving AOFF mode with a
	large constant displacement (Was forgetting to output the
	extension word.)

	make-gas.com  Added a three line patch from Eric Youngdale that
	makes it possible to submit make-gas.com to a batch queue.

Wed Nov 21 15:07:51 EST 1990	Jay Fenlason (hack@ai.mit.edu)

	* vms.c  (VMS_TBT_Routine_END)  Add a four line patch from
	Eric Youngdale.

Tue Nov 13 14:02:15 EST 1990	Jay Fenlason (hack@ai.mti.edu)

	* vms-dbg.c (VMS_DBG_record())  Another one character patch from
	Eric Youngdale.

Mon Oct 29 15:49:21 EST 1990	Jay Fenlason (hack@ai.mit.edu)

	* read.c  Replace some as_warn calls with as_bad.

Fri Oct 26 15:21:15 EDT 1990	Jay Fenlason (hack@ai.mit.edu)

	* i386.c, i860.c, ns32k.c	Add const changes.

Mon Oct 22 14:04:26 EDT 1990	Jay Fenlason (hack@ai.mit.edu)

	* sparc.c	Add const changes.

	* make-gas.com	define const= for VMS, since many older versions of
	GCC don't work correctly with const under VMS.

Thu Oct 18 12:44:11 EDT 1990	Jay Fenlason (hack@ai.mit.edu)

	* i860.c i860-opcode.h  Added patches from rgb@mcc.com

	* read.c, symbols.c, vms.c, + new_file vms-dbg-module.c
	Added Eric Youngdale's <YOUNGDALE@v6550c.nrl.navy.mil> VMS debugging
	patches, so debugging GCC output now works.

	* hash.c (hash_grow)  Remember to blank out the wall entry in the new
	hash table.  This is important on systems where malloc() returns
	non-zero storage. . .

Tue Oct 16 10:11:35 EDT 1990	Jay Fenlason (hack@ai.mit.edu)

	* output-file.c (output_file_create)  if output filename is given as
	'-', write to stdout.

	* m68k.c Finally get the PCREL code to work right.  Add relaxation of
	PCREL stuff  This small fix from Ken Woodland
	(kenny%datacube.uucp@uunet.uu.net).

	* m68k.c  Added some const declarations to constants.  (md_relax_table,
	md_pseudo_table, etc. . .)

Thu Oct 11 11:15:10 EDT 1990	Jay Fenlason (hack@ai.mit.edu)

	* Makefile, read.c, write.c Include the i860 port.
	(New files i860.c i860-opcode.h i860.h)

	* m68k.c Fix some addressing modes, (AOFF, AINDEX, etc) to work in
	PC relative mode.

	* (all over)  Raeburn's const hacking.  This reduces the data-space size by
	declaring many tables, etc, as 'const'.

Mon Oct 22 22:48:22 1990  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygint)

	Make gas work if you turn on the know() checks.

	* app.c:  Only pass a single space through:  the one after
	the opcode.  All other whitespace is removed, to match the
	expectations of the parser in read.c.

	* as.h: Remove obsolete comments.  Remove JF's NDEBUG so
	that know() can really work if you turn it on.  Make
	SEG_MAXIMUM_ORDINAL == SEG_REGISTER.

	* expr.c (operand):  Change BITS_PER_INT to 8*sizeof(int).

	* input-scrub.c:  strlen("\0") doesn't return 1...
	(as_where):  Add space after line number in errors, like gcc.

	* m68k.c (s_bss):  Fake .bss into data section 255.
	We can't cope with a real "BSS section" yet, but we can at
	least do the right thing less efficiently (with lots of
	zeroes).

	* read.c:  Turn lots of as_warn()'s into as_bad()'s.

	* read.h (SKIP_WHITESPACE):  Replace last instance of ASSERT()
	with know().

	* sparc.c (s_seg):  We can't put frags into the BSS segment
	yet, so just fake bss seg as 255th data segment.

	* vax.c:  Remove \'s from continued macro *parameters*.  These
	must have been added after the last time someone turned on
	know() checking...

	* write.c (relax_segment):  Refine what we know() about the
	symbols referenced during relaxation.	

	* Makefile (OTHER_ALIGN):  Remove, handled in tables now.
	Flip options a bit.  These options really ought to go
	elsewhere.

Sun Oct 21 03:57:21 1990  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygint)

	Sun-3 fixes.

	* expr.c, write.c:  Missing semicolon after know().

	* write.c (fixup_segment):  Allow pc-relative accesses to undefined
	external symbols.  Previously this would turn off pc-rel calc
	of displacement, while leaving pc-rel opcode alone, botching.

 	* m68k.c (m68k_ip):  Allow pc-relative effective addresses
	for source operands.  "pea" instructions are a good example
	where we can shorten from abs long to pc+16bit.
	(md_convert_frag):  Fix "JBSR" comments to refer to "JSR", the
	actual instruction.  Insert comments about bug in 68000 bcc
	and dbcc long code (that doesn't get exercised much).  Add
	comments about long pcrel displacements for -pic.  Remove
	"this code has not been tested" comment.
	(md_estimate_size_before_relax):  Now that fixup_segment
	doesn't shortcircuit pc-relative fixups for undefined symbols,
	only output them if -pic; else turn them absolute, which is
	slightly faster.  More JBSR->JSR comments.
	(md_parse_options):  Parse -pic.

Fri Oct 19 14:35:20 1990  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygint)

	* Make sparc assembler more compatible with Sun assembler.
	sparc.c:  reformat pseudo-op table to match main table.
	(md_assemble):  Add SPECIAL_CASE_FDIV to assemble FDIV*
	instructions as fdiv followed by fmovs to get around chip bug.
	(s_common, s_seg):  Accept "bss" section name.
	(md_assemble):  Handle "set" instructions with absolute
	operands, that only take one instruction rather than two.
	sparc-opcode.h (fdiv*):  Mark instructions "S"pecial.
	subsegs.c (subseg_change):  Move tail pointer too.
	symbols.c (colon):  Allow new definitions to override .comm symbols,
	as in VMS.  Sun CC depends on this.
	write.c (new_fix):  Always take r_type argument, not just on sparc.
	Chain fixP's in order, using tail pointer, so relocation
	records come out in forward order like Sun as.  Remove SPARC
	ifdefs.
	write.h: Add seg_fix_tailP, data_fix_tailP, text_fix_tailP.

	* am29k.c: Use s_align_bytes rather than a local copy.

	* read.c (s_align):  Rather than ifdef it, make two functions,
	s_align_bytes and s_align_ptwo.  Individual pseudo-op tables
	can call whichever one they like.

	* write.c (append):  Move from append.c to here.
	append.c:  Remove file.	

	* Makefile (MDSRC, mdsrc):  Easy way to edit all md.c's.
	Fix options.  Add option for -DDEBUG for know() and assert().
	Remove append.c, am29k.h.  Don't build special read-sparc.o.
	Remove sparc.h.  "make clean" removes am29k .o's.  Add
	dependencies on reloc.h.

Thu Oct 18 17:56:34 1990  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygint)

	* Generalize sparc extensions to relocation info.  Gas now
	keeps relocation information internally in a different format
	than how it is stored in the resulting .o.  md_ri_to_bytes()
	converts to external format.  md_reloc_size says how large
	each relocation record is in external format.
	sparc.h:  Remove this file.  Rename to reloc.h.  Rename struct
	to reloc_info_generic.
	reloc.h:  Add relocation types for AMD 29000.
	read.c, write.c:  Always call fix_new with reloc-type argument.
	write.c (emit_relocations): Make md_ri_to_bytes write directly
	to output area rather than overwriting its argument then
	bcopying it.
	md.h:  Declare md_reloc_size and md_ri_to_bytes.
	i386.c, am29k.c, vax.c, ms32k.c, m68k.c, sparc.c: include reloc.h.
	(md_reloc_size): Specify correct value.
	(md_ri_to_bytes):  Convert format from internal to external.

	write.c (write_object_file):  Call md_section_align() which
	rounds section sizes up if desired. 
	sparc.c (md_section_align):  Round to 8 byte boundary.
	i386.c, am29k.c, vax.c, ns32k.c, m68k.c (md_section_align):  Nop.

Mon Oct 15 22:06:11 1990  John Gilmore  (gnu at cygint)

	Changes in support of the AMD 29000 version of gas.

	* am29k-opcode.h:  Add dummy entry to end so we can examine
	item N+1 without exceeding table.

	* am29k.h:  New include file, derived from sparc.h.  Kludged
	together, still needs major work to get relocation working.

	* am29k.c:  New file, derived from sparc.c.
	Put 29k-specific ASM29K pseudo-ops into table.
	Change comment_chars to ASM29K.
	Change s_seg to s_use.
	Change s_sparc_align to s_29k_align, default operand to 4.
	(define_some_regs):  Define special register names.
	(md_begin):  Preprocess opcode table to mash together all
	the variants of single opcodes.  This simplifies later handling.
	Call define_some_regs to preset special reg names.
	(parse_operand):  Add, parses out an operand from a stmt.
	(machine_ip):  Simplify, since 29K is simpler asm language.
	Handle the various keyletters in the opcode table.


	Handle include files in the assembler, with a .include
	pseudo-op.
	* as.h (input_scrub_include_file):  declare.
	* as.c (perform_an_assembly_pass):  Avoid buffer hacking.
	Start us off in text segment.
	* read.c (read_a_source_file):  Take a name as argument,
	internalize all buffer handling.  Don't start a new text
	subsegment on each entry.  Actually use the start and end
	pointers returned by input_scrub_next_buffer.
	(s_include):  Call input_scrub_include_file for .include.
	* input-scrub.c:  Fix comments.
	(struct input_save):  Add, for saving state at .include.
	(input_scrub_push, input_scrub_pop):  Add, push & pop state.
	(input_scrub_begin):  Initialize next_saved_file.
	(input_scrub_end):  Free buffer.
	(input_scrub_include_file):  Add, to include a file.
	(input_scrub_close):  Add, to close a file.
	(input_scrub_next_buffer):  Set buffer-start address for
	caller.  If we hit EOF and were included, pop to previous file.
	* input-file.c:  Remove old includes.  Remove old file-descriptor
	hacking code, that was commented out.
	(struct saved_file):  Add, for saving state at .include.
	(input_file_push, input_file_pop):  Add, push & pop state.
	(input_file_open):  Don't buffer all files in one place.
	(input_file_close):  Add, close input file.
	* input-file.h: Declare new functions.
	* app.c: (struct app_save):  Add, for saving state at .include.
	(app_push, app_pop):  Add, push and pop state.
	(do_scrub_next_char):  Move its static state variables out so
	they can be saved and restored.


	* app.c:  Allow overriding of character meanings by machine
	dependent strings.  Avoid wiring character constants into app.c.
	(do_scrub_begin):  New meanings override old ones, not "OR" them.
	Only handle /* comments if / is not already in use.
	(do_scrub_next_char):  Reorganize mass of nested if's
	into a switch for speed.  Don't assume ';' is line terminator.
	Reorganize switch on characters, into a switch on their (machine-
	dependent) lexer table meanings.
	

	Encapsulate knowledge of segment types in fewer places.
	This allows us to add the "SEG_REGISTER" type, as well as
	providing flexibility for eventual COFF/ELF support.
	* struc-symbol.h (symbol_to_segment, symbol_to_segment_type,
	set_symbol_segment, set_symbol_segment_keep_ext,
	segment_name):  Define macros to encapsulate this info.
	* as.h:  Remove externs for seg_name, seg_N_TYPE, N_TYPE_seg.
	* symbols.c (symbol_new):  Change 'type' arg to 'seg'.
	* expr.c, i386.c, m68k.c, ns32k.c, read.c, symbols.c, vax.c,
	write.c:  Use macros.
	* i386.c, m68k.c, ns32k.c, vax.c, write.c: Change 2nd arg type of
	md_estimate_size_before_relax.
	* expr.c, read.c:  Change 'type' arg to symbol_new.
	* read.c, symbols.c, vax.c, write.c:  Move md.h to end of includes.


	Allow expressions to evaluate to registers.
	* as.h:  Add SEG_REGISTER.
	* struc-symbol.h:  Add fake N_REGISTER type.
	* subseg.c:  Add types to tables.
	* expr.c (operand):  Symbols of SEG_REGISTER type are
	immediately evaluated like those of SEG_ABSOLUTE.
	(clean_up_expression):  Clean up SEG_REGISTER exprs.


	Allow machine descriptions to cleanly extend the set of
	possible operands.
	* expr.c (operand):  Call md_operand before rejecting an
	operand as unacceptable.
	* md.h:  declare.
	* i386.c, ns32k.c, m68k.c, sparc.c, vax.c:  Define null function.
	* am29k.c (md_operand):  Use this for %% and & prefix operators.
	

	Allow machine descriptions to cleanly permit symbols to be
	predefined upon first usage.
	* symbols.c (symbol_find_or_make):  Call md_undefined_symbol
	before making an undefined symbol.
	* md.h:  declare.
	* i386.c, ns32k.c, m68k.c, sparc.c, vax.c:  Define null function.
	* am29k.c (md_undefined_symbol):  use this for the local and
	global register names; since there are hundreds of them, it
	only defines them upon their first use.
	* expr.c (operand):  Call symbol_find_or_make rather than
	roll our own undefined symbols.


	Miscellaneous changes:

	* as.h (know):  Make this useful if DEBUG defined.

	* write.h: Support SPARC-like relocation throughout all
	versions.

	* read.c (read_a_source_file): Report the name of invalid
	pseudo-ops.  Don't double-report junk characters.  Close the
	input file, which gas never used to do.
	(ignore_rest_of_line):  Report junk chars in ascii if
	printable.
	(s_ignore):  Ignore entire statement; used for 'listing
	control' statements from ASM29K, e.g. .eject.

	* read.c (s_lsym):  Handle register equates too.

	* read.c:  Add most ASM29K pseudo-ops to the master table.
	Not all are implemented yet.

	* cond.c:  New file, for functions implementing conditional
	assembly pseudo-ops: .ifdef, .ifndef, .else, .endif, .ifseq,
	.ifsne, .end.  So far, they are just stubbed out.

	* read.c (pobegin):  Allow the machine dependent pseudo-op
	table to override the generic one.  Remove #ifdef SPARC
	on .word, since it can now be overridden.

	* expr.c (operand):  Support radix-2 constants.  Kill off
	support for octals with digits '8' and '9'.  Initial steps
	toward more general support for local-labels.

	* symbols.h (symbol_table_lookup):  Remove macro, change all
	occurrences (in read.c, expr.c, symbols.c) to symbol_find.

	* read.h (is_end_of_line):  Define for external use.

	* i386.c (alloca):  Use builtin_alloca or include or extern.

	* Makefile:  Add ALL and all: entries.  Add asm29k entries.
	Add cond.c and cond.o.  Remove special handling for messages.o.
	Add lint entry.

Thu Sep 27 13:43:49 EDT 1990	Jay Fenlason (hack@ai.mit.edu)

	* m68k.c (get_num)  Fix so that 1:w is treated properly.

	* Makefile  Replace references to a.out.h with a.out.gnu.h

Tue Sep 25 15:50:36 EDT 1990	Jay Fenlason (hack@ai.mit.edu)

	* sparc.c  (md_number_to_imm)  Fix so that RELOC_32 locations contain
	zero, so that it will work with some sparc loaders which don't assume
	that the locations in question do.  A xix line patch from Michael Bloom
	(usc!srhqla!quad1!psivax!ttidca!mb@zaphod.mps.ohio-state.edu)

Mon Sep 24 11:43:15 EDT 1990	Jay Fenlason (hack@ai.mit.edu)

	* as.c  #include <sys/types.h> if _POSIX_SOURCE defined.  This because
	<signal.h> uses pid_t that's defined in it.

	* m68k.c reverse the sense of -l option, and allow :w and :l to
	override the default size of AOFF indexes.

	Also, allow -l to shorten branches to unknown labels from LONG to WORD.

	* read.c (pseudo_set) Compain if we're setting the symbol to the
	difference of two symbols which are in different frags.  (We can't
	find out how far apart they are.)

Wed Aug 15 12:18:58 EDT 1990	Jay Fenlason

	* m68k.c (m68k_ip_op)  Dyke out the code that deals with parsing
	:[wl] at the end of expressions since it is handled in get_num()
	and this was putting the result in the wrong place anyway.
	Corrected a couple of other references to ->isiz instead of con?->e_siz

Mon Aug 13 15:53:46 EDT 1990	Jay Fenlason

	* read.c  Handle .align specially on the sparc, or any other machine
	where OTHER_ALIGN is defined.  Added option and comments about it
	to Makefile.

Fri Aug 10 12:24:33 EDT 1990	Jay Fenlason

	* m68k.c (get_num)  Handle SEG_PASS1 expressions.

Wed Jul 18 16:29:22 EDT 1990	Jay Fenlason (hack@ai.mit.edu)

	* Makefile  Added option for SEQUENT_COMPATABILITY

	* ns32k.c  Add configurable syntax feature from
		ian@sibyl.eleceng.ua.oz@augean.ua.oz.au
		and SEQUENT_COMPATABILITY

	* ns32k-opcode.h  Add configurable syntax feature.

Mon Jul 16 11:44:14 EDT 1990	Jay Fenlason (hack@ai.mit.edu)

	* write.c (relax_segment)  On ns32k, add fragP->fr_pcrel_adjust to
	aim.
		(fixup_segment)  On ns32k, don't subtract size from
	add_number on pcrel external symbols.

	* ns32k.c (md_relax_table)  Use correct max displacements.
	This is a six-line patch from ian@sibyl.eleceng.ua.oz.au

	the correct byte order.  A seven line patch from
 	ian@sibyl.eleceng.ua.oz.au

	* ns32k.c (all over)  Some lint fixes.

Mon Jul  9 13:17:00 EDT 1990	Jay Fenlason (hack@ai.mit.edu)

	* app.c (do_scrub_next_char)  If a comment is #{whitespace}
	don't treat the next line as comment also.

	* m68k.c (...)  Accept apc@(num:[wl]), etc.

	* i386.c (md_assemble) Get bitfields correct when doing cross
	assembly to 386.  A two line patch from Michael Bloom.
	(usc!srhqla!quad1!ttidca!mb@zaphod.mps.ohio-state.edu).

	* README.APOLLO a new file with vasta@apollo's name, address
	and phone # in it.

	* input-file.c  Change from _IOLBF to _IOFBF in setbuffer emulation
	for SYSV.

Mon Jun 18 15:36:49 EDT 1990 Jay Fenlason (hack@ai.mit.edu)

	* sparc.c #ifdef DONTDEF s_sparc_align, since it isn't called from
	  anywhere.

Fri Jun 15 15:53:30 EDT 1990 Jay Fenlason (hack@ai.mit.edu)

	* vax.c (md_parse_option)  make the code agree with the documentation
	  on the behaviour of the -d option.

	 the check for a valid type.

	* sparc-opcode.h: Modified the entries for std "q,[1+i]", "D,[1+i]",

	* Added more floating-point exponents.

	* Print an error message on exponent overflow.

(In version 1.10)

	* Fixed floating point bugs that made it generate incorrect numbers for
	values over 10^16 or so.

(In version 1.09)

	* Fixed bug wherein you couldn't forward reference local label 0.

(In version 1.08)

	* m68k.c, m68k-opcode.h: Added support for fmovem with register lists.

	* Fixed an obscure bug having to do with generating PC-relative
	addressing mode for things in the middle of the instruction instead of
	at the end.

	* Added patches from pace to files as.h i386.c i386-opcode.h
	  imull foo,%eax no longer gets assembled into the 32-64 bit
	  multiply, which clobbers %edx behind gcc's back

	  jcxz/jecxz were backwards

	  There was a bug when using %ebp as a base register with no
	  displacement

	  Instructions like andb $0xffffff, %al used to put out too many
	  immediate bytes

	  The splitting jump instructions across frags could happen when
	  obstack_room()==6 too.
