1. Temp files generated in the current directory
.bg
In generating all other files into the current directory the temp files
also were generated there.
.eg
2. Floating Point flags
.bg
Added the -e and -f flags for specification of the IEEE or FFP floating
point packages (constant evaluations and libraries).
.eg
3. Optimization flag
.bg
Recognize the -O optimization flag and ignore it.
.eg
4. Compatibility flags
.bg
Added the -3, -5, -6, -7 flags for system 3, system 5, version 6 and
version 7. Adds an include file on the search list, as well as a
default library.
.eg
5. include file error messages
.bg
Added explicit line number and file name's within the error messages if
processing an include file.
.eg
6. Symbol Table overflow
.bg
Added clearing of the symbol table between compiles (c68 *.c).
.eg
7. Preprocessor error status
.bg
If error's occurred in the preprocessor pass the exit status wasn't
reflecting it.
.eg
8. Structure assignments
.bg
One structure may be assigned to another provided that the one on
the right is smaller than or equal to the left one in size.
.eg
9. Don't generate .globl's for external functions
.bg
Don't automatically generate .globl's for external functions, avoids
automatically loading routines which may never be used (like stdio).
.eg
10. Sizeof as array size specification
.bg
Recursive call to 'getdecl' caused the size specified using sizeof
to be lost.
.eg
11. Procedure/function name as identifier
.bg
Generated "tst.l #_ident" for "if (ident) ;" where ident is a procedure
or function name. Changed this to generate as true instead.
.eg
12. Outgoto macro
.bg
Made the outgoto procedure a macro, requires it's single parameter to
be a constant.
.eg
13. Typedef of forward referenced structures
.bg
The dimension table pointer of a typedefed forward referenced structure
was being initialized incorrectly.
.eg
14. Structure assignments
.bg
One structure may be assigned to another provided that the one on
the right is smaller than or equal to the left one in size.
.eg
15. Floating point
.bg
Floating point handling including constants, conversions and operations
added.
.eg
16. Pop stack instruction
.bg
The popstack instruction of 1..8 was turned into an addq.w which only
affected half of the sp register. The "add #d,sp" has been replaced
by either "addq.l #d,sp" or "adda.l #d,sp".
.eg
17. Optimization eqmult, eqdiv, eqmod
.bg
Generated a new code skeleton entry to deal with register integer mults,
divs, and mods (eg. register int i; i =* 34;).
.eg
18. Return of 0L
.bg
Code skeletons generated a clr R0 regardless of operand type.
.eg
19. Prefix ++, -- problems with bytes
.bg
The code skeletons for fr_eqop were a total mess, particularly for
the left hand side being a character.
Rewrote all fr_eqop and fr_eqmult code skeletons to handle these cases.
Unfortunately rcgen also gets into the act turning all =+, =-, =&, =| and
pre++, pre-- compiled for register into compiled for effect then returning
the left hand side symbol.
This is probably OK for word and long LHS but for byte it results in
lost precision.
Changed rcgen to check for CHAR LHS and not to compile for effect if so.
.eg
20. Long eq_shift int
.bg
Bad code was generated for long's left shifted by integer values.
.eg
21. Pointer to structure comparisons to integers
.bg
Previously the integer value was being multiplied by the size of the
structure in words.
