|
||
|
|
------- -----------
|
||
|
|
0.9.8 Generates spec. v1.0 description header.
|
||
|
|
Make semantics and opcode type synchronize to spec. v1.0.

||
|
|

|
||
|
|
Changed "BankValue" of "BankField" from "DWord" to "Opcode".
|
||
|
|
Changed "TimeOut" of "Acquire" from "DWord" to "Word".
|
||
|
|
Added optional "SuperName" argument to a lot of Type2Opcodes.
|
||
|
|
Changed "Load" syntax according to 1.0 spec.

|
3,4,5,7,9,10,11,14,15

|
||
|
|
Index(BUF0, IRQ0._INT, Local0)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
0.9.22 Added a new compiler directive "External". The syntax is:
|
||
|
|
External(<ObjName>, <ObjType>)
|
||
|
|
This directive is to let the assembler know that the object is declared
|
||
|
|
external to this table so that the assembler will not complain about
|
||
|
|
the undeclared object. During compiling, the assembler will create
|
||
|
|
the external object at the specified place in the name space (if a
|
||
|
|
full path of the object is specified), or the object will be created
|
||
|
|
at the current scope of the External statement. <ObjType> is
|
||
|
|
optional. If not specified, "UnknownObj" type is assumed. Valid
|
||
|
|
values of <ObjType> are:
|
||
|
|
UnknownObj
|
||
|
|
IntObj
|
||
|
|
StrObj
|
||
|
|
BuffObj
|
||
|
|
PkgObj
|
||
|
|
FieldUnitObj
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
MethodObj
|
||
|
|
MutexObj
|
||
|
|
OpRegionObj
|
||
|
|
PowerResObj
|
||
|
|
ThermalZoneObj
|
||
|
|
BuffFieldObj
|
||
|
|
DDBHandleObj
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
0.9.23 Added _PIC in reserved object table.
|
||
|
|
Added .ASM file generation.
|
||
|
|
Improved .LST file generation.

|
||
|
|
C compiler.

||
|
|
|
||
|

|
|
Added type checking on SuperName to disallow PNP macro labels.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

|
||
|

|
||
|
|
|

|

regions.
|
||
|
|
Added _BBN in the reserved name table.

the NameSpace object was created.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1.0.8 Redefined Interrupt Vector Flags of the Extended Interrupt Descriptor

|
||
|
|
to specify the number of argument to the MethodObj. If the third
|
||
|
|
argument is missing, it is assumed 0. Currently, if the object
|
||
|
|
is not MethodObj, this optional argument is ignored.
|
||
|
|
e.g. External(ABCD, MethodObj, 2)
