7 | * Redefinition of macros now results in an error. |
8 | ||
91d777ee L |
9 | * New command line option -mhint.b=[ok|warning|error] for IA64 targets. |
10 | ||
970d6792 L |
11 | * New command line option -munwind-check=[warning|error] for IA64 |
12 | targets. | |
13 | ||
f1dab70d JB |
14 | * The IA64 port now uses automatic dependency violation removal as its default |
15 | mode. | |
16 | ||
7499d566 NC |
17 | * Port to MAXQ processor contributed by HCL Tech. |
18 | ||
7ed4c4c5 NC |
19 | * Added support for generating unwind tables for ARM ELF targets. |
20 | ||
329e276d NC |
21 | * Add a -g command line option to generate debug information in the target's |
22 | preferred debug format. | |
23 | ||
1fe1f39c NC |
24 | * Support for the crx-elf target added. |
25 | ||
1a320fbb | 26 | * Support for the sh-symbianelf target added. |
1fe1f39c | 27 | |
0503b355 BF |
28 | * Added a pseudo-op (.secrel32) to generate 32 bit section relative relocations |
29 | on pe[i]-i386; required for this target's DWARF 2 support. | |
30 | ||
6b6e92f4 NC |
31 | * Support for Motorola MCF521x/5249/547x/548x added. |
32 | ||
fd99574b NC |
33 | * Support for ColdFire EMAC instructions added and Motorola syntax for MAC/EMAC |
34 | instrucitons. | |
35 | ||
aa6975fb ILT |
36 | * New command line option -mno-shared for MIPS ELF targets. |
37 | ||
caa32fe5 NC |
38 | * New command line option --alternate and pseudo-ops .altmacro and .noaltmacro |
39 | added to enter (and leave) alternate macro syntax mode. | |
40 | ||
0477af35 NC |
41 | Changes in 2.15: |
42 | ||
7a7f4e42 CD |
43 | * The MIPS -membedded-pic option (Embedded-PIC code generation) is |
44 | deprecated and will be removed in a future release. | |
45 | ||
6edf0760 NC |
46 | * Added PIC m32r Linux (ELF) and support to M32R assembler. |
47 | ||
09d92015 MM |
48 | * Added support for ARM V6. |
49 | ||
88da98f3 MS |
50 | * Added support for sh4a and variants. |
51 | ||
eb764db8 NC |
52 | * Support for Renesas M32R2 added. |
53 | ||
88da98f3 MS |
54 | * Limited support for Mapping Symbols as specified in the ARM ELF |
55 | specification has been added to the arm assembler. | |
ed769ec1 | 56 | |
0bbf2aa4 NC |
57 | * On ARM architectures, added a new gas directive ".unreq" that undoes |
58 | definitions created by ".req". | |
59 | ||
3e602632 NC |
60 | * Support for Motorola ColdFire MCF528x added. |
61 | ||
05da4302 NC |
62 | * Added --gstabs+ switch to enable the generation of STABS debug format |
63 | information with GNU extensions. | |
64 | ||
6a265366 CD |
65 | * Added support for MIPS64 Release 2. |
66 | ||
8ad30312 NC |
67 | * Added support for v850e1. |
68 | ||
12b55ccc L |
69 | * Added -n switch for x86 assembler. By default, x86 GAS replaces |
70 | multiple nop instructions used for alignment within code sections | |
71 | with multi-byte nop instructions such as leal 0(%esi,1),%esi. This | |
72 | switch disables the optimization. | |
73 | ||
78849248 ILT |
74 | * Removed -n option from MIPS assembler. It was not useful, and confused the |
75 | existing -non_shared option. | |
76 | ||
43c58ae6 CD |
77 | Changes in 2.14: |
78 | ||
69be0a2b CD |
79 | * Added support for MIPS32 Release 2. |
80 | ||
e8fd7476 NC |
81 | * Added support for Xtensa architecture. |
82 | ||
e16bb312 NC |
83 | * Support for Intel's iWMMXt processor (an ARM variant) added. |
84 | ||
cce4814f NC |
85 | * An assembler test generator has been contributed and an example file that |
86 | uses it (gas/testsuite/gas/all/test-gen.c and test-exmaple.c). | |
87 | ||
5177500f NC |
88 | * Support for SH2E added. |
89 | ||
fea17916 NC |
90 | * GASP has now been removed. |
91 | ||
004d9caf NC |
92 | * Support for Texas Instruments TMS320C4x and TMS320C3x series of |
93 | DSP's contributed by Michael Hayes and Svein E. Seldal. | |
026df7c5 | 94 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
95 | * Support for the Ubicom IP2xxx microcontroller added. |
96 | ||
2cbb2eef NC |
97 | Changes in 2.13: |
98 | ||
a40cbfa3 NC |
99 | * Support for the Fujitsu FRV architecture added by Red Hat. Models for FR400 |
100 | and FR500 included. | |
0ebb9a87 | 101 | |
a40cbfa3 | 102 | * Support for DLX processor added. |
52216602 | 103 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
104 | * GASP has now been deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Use |
105 | the macro facilities in GAS instead. | |
3f965e60 | 106 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
107 | * GASP now correctly parses floating point numbers. Unless the base is |
108 | explicitly specified, they are interpreted as decimal numbers regardless of | |
109 | the currently specified base. | |
1ac57253 | 110 | |
9a66911f NC |
111 | Changes in 2.12: |
112 | ||
a40cbfa3 | 113 | * Support for Don Knuth's MMIX, by Hans-Peter Nilsson. |
49fda6c8 | 114 | |
a40cbfa3 | 115 | * Support for the OpenRISC 32-bit embedded processor by OpenCores. |
3b16e843 | 116 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
117 | * The ARM assembler now accepts -march=..., -mcpu=... and -mfpu=... for |
118 | specifying the target instruction set. The old method of specifying the | |
119 | target processor has been deprecated, but is still accepted for | |
120 | compatibility. | |
03b1477f | 121 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
122 | * Support for the VFP floating-point instruction set has been added to |
123 | the ARM assembler. | |
252b5132 | 124 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
125 | * New psuedo op: .incbin to include a set of binary data at a given point |
126 | in the assembly. Contributed by Anders Norlander. | |
7e005732 | 127 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
128 | * The MIPS assembler now accepts -march/-mtune. -mcpu has been deprecated |
129 | but still works for compatability. | |
ec68c924 | 130 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
131 | * The MIPS assembler no longer issues a warning by default when it |
132 | generates a nop instruction from a macro. The new command line option | |
133 | -n will turn on the warning. | |
63486801 | 134 | |
2dac7317 JW |
135 | Changes in 2.11: |
136 | ||
500800ca NC |
137 | * Support for PDP-11 and 2.11BSD a.out format, by Lars Brinkhoff. |
138 | ||
a40cbfa3 | 139 | * x86 gas now supports the full Pentium4 instruction set. |
a167610d | 140 | |
a40cbfa3 | 141 | * Support for AMD x86-64 architecture, by Jan Hubicka, SuSE Labs. |
c0d8940f | 142 | |
a40cbfa3 | 143 | * Support for Motorola 68HC11 and 68HC12. |
df86943d | 144 | |
a40cbfa3 | 145 | * Support for Texas Instruments TMS320C54x (tic54x). |
39bec121 | 146 | |
a40cbfa3 | 147 | * Support for IA-64. |
2dac7317 | 148 | |
a40cbfa3 | 149 | * Support for i860, by Jason Eckhardt. |
22b36938 | 150 | |
a40cbfa3 | 151 | * Support for CRIS (Axis Communications ETRAX series). |
5bcac8a4 | 152 | |
a40cbfa3 | 153 | * x86 gas has a new .arch pseudo op to specify the target CPU architecture. |
a38cf1db | 154 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
155 | * x86 gas -q command line option quietens warnings about register size changes |
156 | due to suffix, indirect jmp/call without `*', stand-alone prefixes, and | |
157 | translating various deprecated floating point instructions. | |
a38cf1db | 158 | |
252b5132 RH |
159 | Changes in 2.10: |
160 | ||
a40cbfa3 NC |
161 | * Support for the ARM msr instruction was changed to only allow an immediate |
162 | operand when altering the flags field. | |
d14442f4 | 163 | |
a40cbfa3 | 164 | * Support for ATMEL AVR. |
adde6300 | 165 | |
a40cbfa3 | 166 | * Support for IBM 370 ELF. Somewhat experimental. |
b5ebe70e | 167 | |
a40cbfa3 | 168 | * Support for numbers with suffixes. |
3fd9f047 | 169 | |
a40cbfa3 | 170 | * Added support for breaking to the end of repeat loops. |
6a6987a9 | 171 | |
a40cbfa3 | 172 | * Added support for parallel instruction syntax (DOUBLEBAR_PARALLEL). |
6a6987a9 | 173 | |
a40cbfa3 | 174 | * New .elseif pseudo-op added. |
3fd9f047 | 175 | |
a40cbfa3 | 176 | * New --fatal-warnings option. |
1f776aa5 | 177 | |
a40cbfa3 | 178 | * picoJava architecture support added. |
252b5132 | 179 | |
a40cbfa3 | 180 | * Motorola MCore 210 processor support added. |
041dd5a9 | 181 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
182 | * A new pseudo-op .intel_syntax has been implemented to allow gas to parse i386 |
183 | assembly programs with intel syntax. | |
252b5132 | 184 | |
a40cbfa3 | 185 | * New pseudo-ops .func,.endfunc to aid in debugging user-written assembler code. |
252b5132 | 186 | |
a40cbfa3 | 187 | * Added -gdwarf2 option to generate DWARF 2 debugging information. |
041dd5a9 | 188 | |
a40cbfa3 | 189 | * Full 16-bit mode support for i386. |
252b5132 | 190 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
191 | * Greatly improved instruction operand checking for i386. This change will |
192 | produce errors or warnings on incorrect assembly code that previous versions | |
193 | of gas accepted. If you get unexpected messages from code that worked with | |
194 | older versions of gas, please double check the code before reporting a bug. | |
252b5132 | 195 | |
a40cbfa3 | 196 | * Weak symbol support added for COFF targets. |
252b5132 | 197 | |
a40cbfa3 | 198 | * Mitsubishi D30V support added. |
252b5132 | 199 | |
a40cbfa3 | 200 | * Texas Instruments c80 (tms320c80) support added. |
252b5132 | 201 | |
a40cbfa3 | 202 | * i960 ELF support added. |
bedf545c | 203 | |
a40cbfa3 | 204 | * ARM ELF support added. |
a057431b | 205 | |
252b5132 RH |
206 | Changes in 2.9: |
207 | ||
a40cbfa3 | 208 | * Texas Instruments c30 (tms320c30) support added. |
252b5132 | 209 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
210 | * The assembler now optimizes the exception frame information generated by egcs |
211 | and gcc 2.8. The new --traditional-format option disables this optimization. | |
252b5132 | 212 | |
a40cbfa3 | 213 | * Added --gstabs option to generate stabs debugging information. |
252b5132 | 214 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
215 | * The -a option takes a new suboption, m (e.g., -alm) to expand macros in a |
216 | listing. | |
252b5132 | 217 | |
a40cbfa3 | 218 | * Added -MD option to print dependencies. |
252b5132 RH |
219 | |
220 | Changes in 2.8: | |
221 | ||
a40cbfa3 | 222 | * BeOS support added. |
252b5132 | 223 | |
a40cbfa3 | 224 | * MIPS16 support added. |
252b5132 | 225 | |
a40cbfa3 | 226 | * Motorola ColdFire 5200 support added (configure for m68k and use -m5200). |
252b5132 | 227 | |
a40cbfa3 | 228 | * Alpha/VMS support added. |
252b5132 | 229 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
230 | * m68k options --base-size-default-16, --base-size-default-32, |
231 | --disp-size-default-16, and --disp-size-default-32 added. | |
252b5132 | 232 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
233 | * The alignment directives now take an optional third argument, which is the |
234 | maximum number of bytes to skip. If doing the alignment would require | |
235 | skipping more than the given number of bytes, the alignment is not done at | |
236 | all. | |
252b5132 | 237 | |
a40cbfa3 | 238 | * The ELF assembler has a new pseudo-op, .symver, used for symbol versioning. |
252b5132 | 239 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
240 | * The -a option takes a new suboption, c (e.g., -alc), to skip false |
241 | conditionals in listings. | |
252b5132 | 242 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
243 | * Added new pseudo-op, .equiv; it's like .equ, except that it is an error if |
244 | the symbol is already defined. | |
252b5132 RH |
245 | |
246 | Changes in 2.7: | |
247 | ||
a40cbfa3 NC |
248 | * The PowerPC assembler now allows the use of symbolic register names (r0, |
249 | etc.) if -mregnames is used. Symbolic names preceded by a '%' (%r0, etc.) | |
250 | can be used any time. PowerPC 860 move to/from SPR instructions have been | |
251 | added. | |
252b5132 | 252 | |
a40cbfa3 | 253 | * Alpha Linux (ELF) support added. |
252b5132 | 254 | |
a40cbfa3 | 255 | * PowerPC ELF support added. |
252b5132 | 256 | |
a40cbfa3 | 257 | * m68k Linux (ELF) support added. |
252b5132 | 258 | |
a40cbfa3 | 259 | * i960 Hx/Jx support added. |
252b5132 | 260 | |
a40cbfa3 | 261 | * i386/PowerPC gnu-win32 support added. |
252b5132 | 262 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
263 | * SCO ELF support added. For OpenServer 5 targets (i386-unknown-sco3.2v5) the |
264 | default is to build COFF-only support. To get a set of tools that generate | |
265 | ELF (they'll understand both COFF and ELF), you must configure with | |
266 | target=i386-unknown-sco3.2v5elf. | |
252b5132 | 267 | |
a40cbfa3 | 268 | * m88k-motorola-sysv3* support added. |
252b5132 RH |
269 | |
270 | Changes in 2.6: | |
271 | ||
a40cbfa3 | 272 | * Gas now directly supports macros, without requiring GASP. |
252b5132 | 273 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
274 | * Gas now has an MRI assembler compatibility mode. Use -M or --mri to select |
275 | MRI mode. The pseudo-op ``.mri 1'' will switch into the MRI mode until the | |
276 | ``.mri 0'' is seen; this can be convenient for inline assembler code. | |
252b5132 | 277 | |
a40cbfa3 | 278 | * Added --defsym SYM=VALUE option. |
252b5132 | 279 | |
a40cbfa3 | 280 | * Added -mips4 support to MIPS assembler. |
252b5132 | 281 | |
a40cbfa3 | 282 | * Added PIC support to Solaris and SPARC SunOS 4 assembler. |
252b5132 RH |
283 | |
284 | Changes in 2.4: | |
285 | ||
a40cbfa3 | 286 | * Converted this directory to use an autoconf-generated configure script. |
252b5132 | 287 | |
a40cbfa3 | 288 | * ARM support, from Richard Earnshaw. |
252b5132 | 289 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
290 | * Updated VMS support, from Pat Rankin, including considerably improved |
291 | debugging support. | |
252b5132 | 292 | |
a40cbfa3 | 293 | * Support for the control registers in the 68060. |
252b5132 | 294 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
295 | * Handles (ignores) a new directive ".this_GCC_requires_the_GNU_assembler", to |
296 | provide for possible future gcc changes, for targets where gas provides some | |
297 | features not available in the native assembler. If the native assembler is | |
298 | used, it should become obvious pretty quickly what the problem is. | |
252b5132 | 299 | |
a40cbfa3 | 300 | * Usage message is available with "--help". |
252b5132 | 301 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
302 | * The GNU Assembler Preprocessor (gasp) is included. (Actually, it was in 2.3 |
303 | also, but didn't get into the NEWS file.) | |
252b5132 | 304 | |
a40cbfa3 | 305 | * Weak symbol support for a.out. |
252b5132 | 306 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
307 | * A bug in the listing code which could cause an infinite loop has been fixed. |
308 | Bugs in listings when generating a COFF object file have also been fixed. | |
252b5132 | 309 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
310 | * Initial i386-svr4 PIC implementation from Eric Youngdale, based on code by |
311 | Paul Kranenburg. | |
252b5132 | 312 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
313 | * Improved Alpha support. Immediate constants can have a much larger range |
314 | now. Support for the 21164 has been contributed by Digital. | |
252b5132 | 315 | |
a40cbfa3 | 316 | * Updated ns32k (pc532-mach, netbsd532) support from Ian Dall. |
252b5132 RH |
317 | |
318 | Changes in 2.3: | |
319 | ||
a40cbfa3 | 320 | * Mach i386 support, by David Mackenzie and Ken Raeburn. |
252b5132 | 321 | |
a40cbfa3 | 322 | * RS/6000 and PowerPC support by Ian Taylor. |
252b5132 | 323 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
324 | * VMS command scripts (make-gas.com, config-gas.com) have been worked on a bit, |
325 | based on mail received from various people. The `-h#' option should work | |
326 | again too. | |
252b5132 | 327 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
328 | * HP-PA work, by Jeff Law. Note, for the PA, gas-2.3 has been designed to work |
329 | with gdb-4.12 and gcc-2.6. As gcc-2.6 has not been released yet, a special | |
330 | version of gcc-2.5.8 has been patched to work with gas-2.3. You can retrieve | |
331 | this special version of gcc-2.5.8 via anonymous ftp from jaguar.cs.utah.edu | |
332 | in the "dist" directory. | |
252b5132 | 333 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
334 | * Vax support in gas fixed for BSD, so it builds and seems to run a couple |
335 | simple tests okay. I haven't put it through extensive testing. (GNU make is | |
336 | currently required for BSD 4.3 builds.) | |
252b5132 | 337 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
338 | * Support for the DEC Alpha, running OSF/1 (ECOFF format). The gas support is |
339 | based on code donated by CMU, which used an a.out-based format. I'm afraid | |
340 | the alpha-a.out support is pretty badly mangled, and much of it removed; | |
341 | making it work will require rewriting it as BFD support for the format anyways. | |
252b5132 | 342 | |
a40cbfa3 | 343 | * Irix 5 support. |
252b5132 | 344 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
345 | * The test suites have been fixed up a bit, so that they should work with a |
346 | couple different versions of expect and dejagnu. | |
252b5132 | 347 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
348 | * Symbols' values are now handled internally as expressions, permitting more |
349 | flexibility in evaluating them in some cases. Some details of relocation | |
350 | handling have also changed, and simple constant pool management has been | |
351 | added, to make the Alpha port easier. | |
252b5132 | 352 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
353 | * New option "--statistics" for printing out program run times. This is |
354 | intended to be used with the gcc "-Q" option, which prints out times spent in | |
355 | various phases of compilation. (You should be able to get all of them | |
356 | printed out with "gcc -Q -Wa,--statistics", I think.) | |
252b5132 RH |
357 | |
358 | Changes in 2.2: | |
359 | ||
a40cbfa3 | 360 | * RS/6000 AIX and MIPS SGI Irix 5 support has been added. |
252b5132 | 361 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
362 | * Configurations that are still in development (and therefore are convenient to |
363 | have listed in configure.in) still get rejected without a minor change to | |
364 | gas/Makefile.in, so people not doing development work shouldn't get the | |
365 | impression that support for such configurations is actually believed to be | |
366 | reliable. | |
252b5132 | 367 | |

368 | * The program name (usually "as") is printed when a fatal error message is |
369 | displayed. This should prevent some confusion about the source of occasional | |
370 | messages about "internal errors". | |

372 | * ELF support is falling into place. Support for the 386 should be working. |
373 | Support for SPARC Solaris is in. HPPA support from Utah is being integrated. | |

375 | * Symbol values are maintained as expressions instead of being immediately |
376 | boiled down to add-symbol, sub-symbol, and constant. This permits slightly | |
377 | more complex calculations involving symbols whose values are not alreadey | |
378 | known. | |
252b5132 | 379 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
380 | * DBX-style debugging info ("stabs") is now supported for COFF formats. |
381 | If any stabs directives are seen in the source, GAS will create two new | |
382 | sections: a ".stab" and a ".stabstr" section. The format of the .stab | |
383 | section is nearly identical to the a.out symbol format, and .stabstr is | |
384 | its string table. For this to be useful, you must have configured GCC | |
385 | to generate stabs (by defining DBX_DEBUGGING_INFO), and must have a GDB | |
386 | that can use the stab sections (4.11 or later). | |

388 | * LynxOS, on i386 and m68k platforms, is now supported. SPARC LynxOS |
389 | support is in progress. | |

391 | Changes in 2.1: | |

393 | * Several small fixes for i386-aix (PS/2) support from Minh Tran-Le have been |
394 | incorporated, but not well tested yet. | |
252b5132 | 395 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
396 | * Altered the opcode table split for m68k; it should require less VM to compile |
397 | with gcc now. | |
252b5132 | 398 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
399 | * Some minor adjustments to add (Convergent Technologies') Miniframe support, |
400 | suggested by Ronald Cole. | |
252b5132 | 401 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
402 | * HPPA support (running OSF only, not HPUX) has been contributed by Utah. This |
403 | includes improved ELF support, which I've started adapting for SPARC Solaris | |
404 | 2.x. Integration isn't completely, so it probably won't work. | |
252b5132 | 405 | |
a40cbfa3 | 406 | * HP9000/300 support, donated by HP, has been merged in. |
252b5132 | 407 | |
a40cbfa3 | 408 | * Ian Taylor has finished the MIPS ECOFF (Ultrix, Irix) support. |
252b5132 | 409 | |
a40cbfa3 | 410 | * Better error messages for unsupported configurations (e.g., hppa-hpux). |
252b5132 | 411 | |
a40cbfa3 | 412 | * Test suite framework is starting to become reasonable. |

414 | Changes in 2.0: | |
415 | ||
a40cbfa3 | 416 | * Mostly bug fixes. |
252b5132 | 417 | |
a40cbfa3 | 418 | * Some more merging of BFD and ELF code, but ELF still doesn't work. |
252b5132 RH |
419 | |
420 | Changes in 1.94: | |
421 | ||
a40cbfa3 NC |
422 | * BFD merge is partly done. Adventurous souls may try giving configure the |
423 | "--with-bfd-assembler" option. Currently, ELF format requires it, a.out | |
424 | format accepts it; SPARC CPU accepts it. It's the default only for OS "elf" | |
425 | or "solaris". (ELF isn't really supported yet. It needs work. I've got | |
426 | some code from Utah for HP-PA ELF, and from DG for m88k ELF, but they're not | |
427 | fully merged yet.) | |
252b5132 | 428 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
429 | * The 68K opcode table has been split in half. It should now compile under gcc |
430 | without consuming ridiculous amounts of memory. | |
252b5132 | 431 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
432 | * A couple data structures have been reduced in size. This should result in |
433 | saving a little bit of space at runtime. | |
252b5132 | 434 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
435 | * Support for MIPS, from OSF and Ralph Campbell, has been merged in. The OSF |
436 | code provided ROSE format support, which I haven't merged in yet. (I can | |
437 | make it available, if anyone wants to try it out.) Ralph's code, for BSD | |
438 | 4.4, supports a.out format. We don't have ECOFF support in just yet; it's | |
439 | coming. | |
252b5132 | 440 | |
a40cbfa3 | 441 | * Support for the Hitachi H8/500 has been added. |
252b5132 | 442 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
443 | * VMS host and target support should be working now, thanks chiefly to Eric |
444 | Youngdale. | |
252b5132 RH |
445 | |
446 | Changes in 1.93.01: | |
447 | ||
a40cbfa3 | 448 | * For m68k, support for more processors has been added: 68040, CPU32, 68851. |
252b5132 | 449 | |
a40cbfa3 | 450 | * For i386, .align is now power-of-two; was number-of-bytes. |
252b5132 | 451 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
452 | * For m68k, "%" is now accepted before register names. For COFF format, which |
453 | doesn't use underscore prefixes for C labels, it is required, so variable "a0" | |
454 | can be distinguished from the register. | |
252b5132 | 455 | |
a40cbfa3 NC |
456 | * Last public release was 1.38. Lots of configuration changes since then, lots |
457 | of new CPUs and formats, lots of bugs fixed. | |
