It is built on top of the NASM parser and preproc, with the following
notable extensions for TASM syntax:
- case insensitive symbols and filenames,
- support for segment and size of labels, which permits to avoid giving
them on each memory dereference,
- support for data reservation (i.e. e.g. "var dd ?"),
- support for multiples (i.e. e.g. "var dd 1 dup 10"),
- little endian string integer constants,
- additional expression operators: shl, shr, and, or, low, high,
- additional offset keyword,
- additional fword and df,
- support for doubled quotes within quotes,
- support for array-like and structure-like notations: t[eax] and
[var].field,
- support for tasm directives: macro, rept, irp, locals, proc, struc,
segment, assume.
Notes:
- Almost all extensions are only effective when tasm_compatible_mode is
set, so we should have very reduced possible breakage.
- Because the "and" keyword can be an expression operator and an
instruction name, the data pseudo-instructions explicitly switch the
lexer state to INSTRUCTION state to fix the ambiguity.
- In gen_x86_insn.py, several instructions (namely lds and lea) now take
relaxed memory sizes. The reason is that in the case of tasm, the size
of the actual pointed data is passed up to there, and thus any type of
data should be accepted.
With all of this, loadlin can be compiled by yasm with quite reduced
modifications.
A new TASM-like frontend is also included.

tab size is ever not 8. While I debated converting to tab-only indentation
that would have been a far higher impact to the source.

PC-relative relocations (jumps and calls).
- Allow SEG:OFF to be used as just an offset portion (like NASM does).
- Labels in absolute sections that are declared global are given the correct
absolute value in the symbol table.
One difference from NASM:
label equ 0040h:001eh
jmp label
in NASM means the same as:
jmp 001eh (a near jump)
but yasm will treat this the same as:
jmp 0040h:001eh (a far jump)
I'm still not completely happy with this implementation, but it's workable
and fixes all the bugs I've found so far in absolute handling.

yasm_common_calc_bc_dist was used. Rename yasm_common_calc_bc_dist to
yasm_calc_bc_dist, call it directly from the expr functions, and change
higher-level callers to boolean flags of whether to calculate bc distance
or not.

exception handling. There are now two layers an error or warning goes
through before it hits the user: first an error is logged via
yasm_error_set() (or yasm_warn_set() for a warning). Only one error may
be set, whereas multiple warnings can be set (yasm_warn_set maintains a
linked list). Then, calling yasm_errwarn_propagate() propagates any error
and/or warning(s) to an errwarns structure and associates the
errors/warnings with a line number at that time; this call also clears the
pending errors/warnings and allows new ones to be set. The propagate
function can safely be called when there are no pending error/warnings.
In addition, there are some helper errwarn functions that allow clearing of
an error/warning without propagating, getting it separately, etc.
Still yet to be done: changing most/all uses of yasm_internal_error() into
yasm_error_set(YASM_ERROR_ASSERTION).
The main advantage this change has is making libyasm functions feel much
more library like, and separating the user code line numbers from the inner
function error handling (e.g. intnum create functions only needed the line
number to trigger errors; this is no longer required).
The set/propagate/etc functions use global data structures to avoid passing
around a pointer to every function. This would need to be made thread-local
data in a threaded app. Errwarns containers (that keep associated line
numbers) are no longer global, so multiple source streams can be processed
separately with no conflict (at least if there's only a single thread of
execution).

groundwork for further features and possible cleanups.
Note: this commit changes the way in which relocations in the
COFF/Win32/Win64 target can be forced to reference a different symbol than
is being pointed to; instead of the ambiguous "trap+(trap.end-trap)" to get
the reloc to point at trap.end but reference the trap symbol, after this
commit "trap.end wrt trap" is the way to say this. This also reads a lot
more clearly and is not ambiguous. This should really only affect people
who write .pdata sections for Win64. See the
objfmts/win64/tests/win64-dataref.asm testcase for an example of usage.
This cleanup adds a new data structure, yasm_value, which is used for all
expressions that can be potentially relocatable. This data structure
splits the absolute portion of the expression away from the relative
portion and any modifications to the relative portion (SEG, WRT,
PC-relative, etc). A large amount of code in the new value module breaks
a general expression into its absolute and relative parts
(yasm_value_finalize_expr) and provides a common set of code for writing
out non-relocated values (yasm_value_output_basic).
All bytecode handling in both libyasm and the architecture modules was
rewritten to use yasm_values when appropriate (e.g. data values,
immediates, and effective addresses). The yasm_output_expr_func is now
yasm_output_value_func and all users and implementors (mainly in object
formats) have been updated to handle yasm_values.
Simultaneously with this change, yasm_effaddr and yasm_immval full
structure definitions have been moved from bc-int.h to bytecode.h.
The data hiding provided by bc-int.h was relatively minimal and probably
overkill. Also, great simplifications have been made to x86 effective
address expression handling.

GAS output. The way we were generating relocations before would make
common+global symbol usage generate a relocation against the symbol but
figure in the symbol's value into the relocation addend.
* expr.h (yasm_symrec_relocate_action): New enum, so that:
(yasm_expr_extract_symrec): can conditionalize replacing the symbol with its
value based on whether the symbol is only local (e.g. not declared global,
etc).
* expr.c (yasm_expr_extract_symrec): Update implementation.
* xdf-objfmt.c, coff-objfmt.c: Update to use new enum constants.
* elf-objfmt.c (elf_objfmt_output_expr): Only relocate against section if
symbol is only local, and change call to yasm_expr_extract_symrec to only
add in symbol value if symbol is only local.
* stabs-elf.hex, elftest.hex: Update for changes.
* elf_gas64_reloc.asm: New test.

be made. The specific instigator for this is the ability to modify the
value in a relocation stored in a .rela.section so that listings are
"correct".
svn path=/trunk/yasm/; revision=1159
control whether the symbol is replaced with the symbol's value (old
behavior), or just replace it with 0 (new optional behavior). The old
behavior is enabled by setting relocate=1.
* expr.h (yasm_expr_extract_symrec): Likewise (and document new behavior).
* elf-objfmt.c (elf_objfmt_output_expr): Use new function (with relocate=1).
* coff-objfmt.c (coff_objfmt_output_expr): Likewise.
* expr.c (yasm_expr_extract_segment): Renamed to yasm_expr_extract_segoff, a
more approprate name given what operator it looks at.
* expr.h (yasm_expr_extract_segment): Likewise.
* x86bc.c (x86_bc_jmp_tobytes): Use new function name.
* expr.c (yasm_expr_extract_seg): New function to remove SEG unary operator.
* expr.h (yasm_expr_extract_seg): Likewise.
* expr.c (yasm_expr_extract_shr): New function to split SHR operator into
left and right halves.
* expr.h (yasm_expr_extract_shr): Likewise.
* xdf.h: New header file describing the newly added Extended Dynamic Object
Format (XDF). Note: GCC-only code.
* xdfdump.c: New utility that uses the format described in xdf.h to
completely dump an XDF file. Note: non-portable code (runs correctly on
little endian machines only).
Neither of these files are currently included in the distribution.
* xdf-objfmt.c: New YASM objfmt module to output XDF format object files.
* modules/objfmts/xdf/Makefile.inc: Add to build.
* modules/objfmts/Makefile.inc: Likewise.
The XDF object format is a blend between COFF and OMF. It is a very simple
object format intended for use by operating system loaders or similar types
of targets. It allows shifted relocations (useful for static interrupt or
page tables), both flat and segment-relative, and the use of the SEG, WRT,
and x86 JMP FAR notations.
Test cases will be committed soon.

As yasm has evolved, various minor additions have been made to libyasm to
support the new features. These minor additions have accumulated, and
some contain significant redundancies. In addition, the core focus of
yasm has begun to move away from the front-end commandline program "yasm"
to focusing on libyasm, a collection of reusable routines for use in all
sorts of programs dealing with code at the assembly level, and the modules
that provide specific features for parsing such code.
This libyasm/module update focuses on cleaning up much of the cruft that
has accumulated in libyasm, standardizing function names, eliminating
redundancies, making many of the core objects more reusable for future
extensions, and starting to make libyasm and the modules thread-safe by
eliminating static variables.
Specific changes include:
- Making a symbol table data structure (no longer global). It follows a
factory model for creating symrecs.
- Label symbols now refer only to bytecodes; bytecodes have a pointer to
their containing section.
- Standardizing on *_create() and *_destroy() for allocation/deallocation.
- Adding a standardized callback mechanism for all data structures that
allow associated data. Allowed the removal of objfmt and
dbgfmt-specific data callbacks in their interfaces.
- Unmodularizing linemgr, but allowing multiple linemap instances (linemgr
is now renamed linemap).
- Remove references to lindex; all virtual lines (from linemap) are now
just "line"s.
- Eliminating the bytecode "type" enum, instead adding a standardized
callback mechanism for custom (and standard internal) bytecode types.
This will make it much easier to add new bytecodes, and eliminate the
possibility of type collisions. This also allowed the removal of the
of_data and df_data bytecodes, as objfmts and dbgfmts can now easily
implement their own bytecodes, and the cleanup of arch's bytecode usage.
- Remove the bytecodehead and sectionhead pseudo-containers, instead
making true containers: section now implements all the functions of
bytecodehead, and the new object data structure implements all the
functions of sectionhead.
- Add object data structure: it's a container that contains sections, a
symbol table, and a line mapping for a single object. Every former use
of sectionhead now takes an object.
- Make arch interface and all standard architectures thread-safe:
yasm_arch_module is the module interface; it contains a create()
function that returns a yasm_arch * to store local yasm_arch data; all
yasm_arch_module functions take the yasm_arch *.
- Make nasm parser thread-safe.
To be done in phase 2: making other module interfaces thread-safe. Note
that while the module interface may be thread-safe, not all modules may be
written in such a fashion (hopefully all the "standard" ones will be, but
this is yet to be determined).

problem, adding this required adding some fields to x86_jmprel (now a
misnomer, as FAR jumps are absolute) to save the far opcode, and additional
support in libyasm's yasm_expr_* to properly handle the YASM_EXPR_SEGOFF
operator.

- Move config.h and util.h from libyasm (and installed libyasm) to top level.
- Move yasm_* functions from util.h to coretype.h.
- Remove a number of autoconf-related YASM_*_INTERNAL options from libyasm.h.
- Rename YASM_INTERNAL to YASM_LIB_INTERNAL; it now actually means what the
comment describes: enables definitions that violate the yasm_* namespace.
While we're at it, no longer define YASM_LIB_INTERNAL from yasm frontend, so
it's closer to what a real typical libyasm-using application would look like.

/distances/ between bytecodes in a section using bc_calc_dist() functions (a

as its functionality is integrated into expr_simplify(). Currently these
changes break most bin objfmt output, as it doesn't know how to resolve
absolute labels yet. Also, very preliminary expr support for :, SEG, and WRT
operators has been added (part of Bug#2). Several other minor bug fixes.

Bugzilla Bug#3. Not all instructions are parsed yet, so this is actually a
minor feature regression from the user side, but this commit lays the framework
for much easier additions of new assembler syntaxes and architectures. The
re2c tool is now used to generate the lexers, as it's much more flexibly
function-oriented than lex.
