* doc: swap 'hyphen' and 'minus' in PostScript definitionH. Peter Anvin (Intel)2020-07-021-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | It appears that at least with the Adobe Source fonts: 'hyphen' -> U+002D (ASCII) 'minus' -> U+2212 This is ugly for cut & paste purposes. Reported-by: C. Masloch <pushbx@ulukai.org> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin (Intel) <hpa@zytor.com>

* doc: we really need a Fontmap fileH. Peter Anvin2019-10-043-25/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out that we need a Fontmap file after all, *and* -I. to make gs find it. Inconsistent results came from stray Fontmap files from previous debug attempts. Now generate both fontpath and Fontmap, and hopefully at least one of them should work. We might, in fact, need both, one for gs to know where the files are and one for gs to know it is allowed to read them. The core problem seems to be that gs will find OTF fonts by its normal discovery mechanisms, but for some reason don't seem to use them unless it can find them in a Fontmap, Font directory, of CIDFont directory.

* 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>

| * ELF: handle more than 32,633 sectionsH. Peter Anvin2019-02-261-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dead code elimination in ELF uses separate ELF sections for every functions or data items that may be garbage collected. This can end up being more than 32,633 sections which, when the ELF internal and relocation sections are added in, can exceed the legacy ELF maximum of 65,279 sections. Newer versions of the ELF specification has added support for much larger number of sections by putting a place holder value (usually SHN_XINDEX == 0xffff, but 0 in some cases) into fields where the section index is a 16-bit value, and storing the full value in a diffent place: the program header uses entries in section header 0, the symbol table uses an auxiliary segment with the additional indicies; the section header did not need it as the sh_link field is already 32 (or 64) bits long.

| * ELF: add support for the ELF "merge" attributeH. Peter Anvin2018-12-302-1/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

* | warnings: define warning classes at point of usemkwarningsH. Peter Anvin (Intel)2018-12-132-77/+2
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
