| 3 | If you've contributed to gas and your name isn't listed here, it is | |
| 4 | not meant as a slight. I just don't know about it. Email me, | |
| 5 | raeburn@cygnus.com and I'll correct the situation. | |

| 13 | Dean Elsner wrote the original gas for vax. [more details?] | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | Jay Fenlason maintained gas for a while, adding support for | |
| 16 | gdb-specific debug information and the 68k series machines, most of | |
| 17 | the preprocessing pass, and extensive changes in messages.c, | |
| 18 | input-file.c, write.c. | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | K. Richard Pixley maintained gas for a while, adding various | |
| 21 | enhancements and bug fixes. [what in particular did Rich do? get | |
| 22 | details from rich and/or changelog] | |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | Ken Raeburn currently maintains gas, and wrote the high-level BFD | |
| 25 | interface code to replace most of the code in format-specific I/O | |
| 26 | modules. | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | The original VMS support was contributed by David L. Kashtan. Eric | |
| 29 | Youngdale has done much work with it since. | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | The Intel 80386 machine description was written by Eliot Dresselhaus. | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | Minh Tran-Le at IntelliCorp contributed some AIX 386 support. | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | The Motorola 88k machine description was contributed by Devon Bowen of | |
| 36 | Buffalo University and Torbjorn Granlund of the Swedish Institute of | |
| 37 | Computer Science. | |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | Mark Eichin wrote the original (incomplete) ELF back end. | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | Keith Knowles at the Open Software Foundation wrote the original MIPS | |
| 42 | back end (tc-mips.c, tc-mips.h), and contributed Rose format support | |
| 43 | that hasn't been merged in yet. Ralph Campbell worked with the MIPS | |
| 44 | code to support a.out format. | |
| 45 | ||
| 46 | Support for the Zilog Z8k and Hitachi H8/300 and H8/500 processors | |
| 47 | (tc-z8k, tc-h8300, tc-h8500), and IEEE 695 object file format | |
| 48 | (obj-ieee), was written by Steve Chamberlain of Cygnus Support. Steve | |
| 49 | also modified the COFF back end to use BFD for some low-level | |
| 50 | operations, for use with the H8/300 and AMD 29k targets. | |
| 51 | ||
| 52 | John Gilmore worked on the AMD 29000 support. [doing what? any major | |
| 53 | work on other parts?] | |
| 54 | ||
| 55 | Ian Lance Taylor of Cygnus Support merged the Motorola and MIT | |
| 56 | syntaxes for the 68k, completed support for some COFF targets (68k, | |
| 57 | i386 SVR3, and SCO Unix), and made a few other minor patches. | |
| 58 | ||
| 59 | Support for generation of listings was added by Steve Chamberlain. | |
| 60 | ||
| 61 | Several engineers at Cygnus Support have also provided many small bug | |
| 62 | fixes and configuration enhancements. | |
| 63 | ||
| 64 | ||
| 65 | Many others have contributed large or small bugfixes and enhancements, | |
| 66 | including: [review ChangeLog and file comments and sort out | |
| 67 | details...] | |
| 68 | ||
| 69 | Allen Wirfs-Brock, of Instantiations Inc [changed app.c, but how much?] |
