* preproc: standard macros now C-safe, %aliases off, fix %? recursionH. Peter Anvin2019-08-271-90/+90
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Enough users expect the namespace starting with underscore to be safe for symbols. Change our private namespace from __foo__ to __?foo?__. Use %defalias to provide backwards compatiblity (by using %defalias instead of %define, we handle the case properly where the user changes the value.) Add a preprocessor directive: %aliases off ... to disable all smacro aliases and thereby making the namespace clean. Finally, fix infinite recursion when seeing %? or %?? due to paste_tokens(). If we don't paste anything, the expansion is done. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | note, preinit_array, init_array, and fini_array are ELF section types that can matter to the assembly programmer. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
| * ELF: add support for the ELF "merge" attributeH. Peter Anvin2018-12-301-1/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for the "merge" attribute in ELF, along with the associated "strings" and size specifier attributes. Fix a few places where we used "int", but a larger type really ought to have been used. Be a bit more lax about respecifying attributes. For example, align= can be respecified; the highest resulting value is used. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The -Ov option is useful but was undocumented. Add an initialization to keep gcc from complaining at optimization level -Og. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin (Intel) <hpa@zytor.com>
| * --no-line: new option to ignore %line directivesH. Peter Anvin (Intel)2018-12-141-16/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | For debugging preprocessed code, it is useful to be able to ignore %line directives rather than having to filter them out externally. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin (Intel) <hpa@zytor.com>
* | warnings: define warning classes at point of usemkwarningsH. Peter Anvin (Intel)2018-12-131-76/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | It is extremely desirable to allow the user fine-grained control of warnings, but this has been complicated by the fact that a warning class has had to be defined in no less than three places (error.h, error.c, nasmdoc.src) before it can be used in source code. Instead, use a script to define these via magic comments at the point of use. This hopefully will encourage creating new classes as needed. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin (Intel) <hpa@zytor.com>
* nasm: fix the combination -E -MD, handle -MD without a filenameH. Peter Anvin2018-11-281-0/+9
| | | | | | | | -E -MD should work and output a dependency file. -MD can be used without a filename; there is a default filename or -\c{-MF} can be used. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
* preproc: command-line preproc directive after system-generatedH. Peter Anvin2018-11-111-3/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | BR 3392527: make sure that all command-line specified preprocessing directives are processed after the system-generated ones. In particular __OUTPUT_FORMAT__ was generated after command line pass 2, at which point -p, -d, -u, --pragma and --before had already been processed. There is no reason to split up defined_macros() anymore: the right place to execute it is simply between command line passes 1 and 2. We can also set dfmt here, which lets us define a __DEBUG_FORMAT__ macro as well. Finally move some options that have no business being processed in pass 2 to pass 1. Signed-off-by: H.
