It seemed that the consensus in our discussions of signed integer
overflow, which invokes undefined behavior in C, was that integer
arithmetic should be two's complement and there should be no warning for
overflows. I have implemented that by converting values to unsigned types
when appropriate. These changes will mostly preserve existing behavior,
except for a few cases that were being handled incorrectly before.
The case of dividing INT_MIN by -1 previously resulted in a CPU
exception and program termination. Now, that case is detected and results
in a warning and a value of INT_MIN.
Similarly, INT_MIN % -1 would have resulted in a CPU exception. Since this
is a mathematically valid operation with a result of 0, it now simply
gives that result without a warning.
I noticed that in rpn.c, there were attempts in certain operation handlers
to validate the nVal members of the source expressions even when the
expressions may have been relocatable expressions with meaningless numbers
for the nVal member. This could have caused spurious errors/warnings, so I
made those handlers confirm that isReloc is false before validating nVal.
Also, integer constants that are too large now result in a warning. The
post-conversion values have not been changed, in order to preserve
backward compatibility.
The linker script now allows you to assign a section with the same
attributes as in the source.
To do this, I've removed a check from AssignSectionAddressAndBankByName
that would never be triggered, due to that condition being checked
before. Shouldn't this and IsSectionSameTypeBankAndAttrs be condensed
into a single function?
Currently, all symbols are assigned a filename and line when they're
first encountered and added to the internal hash table. This is often
not expected and leads to erroneous error messages.
The tests are not exhaustive, there are some conditions that aren't
checked. The tests are based in the C standard rules about undefined
behaviour.
This is a compatibility break but, hopefully, all projects are using
sane values. If not, there is no guarantee that the projects will build
in any platform where RGBDS can be compiled, so it would be better to
fix them.
Even though, technically, the left shift of a negative value is always
undefined, some projects rely on its current behaviour. This is the
reason why this doesn't cause a fatal error.

Small tests like the ones included in this repository are good to test
individual features, but it is also a good idea to test some real
projects.

NULL error messages have been given a description.
Messages that weren't descriptive enough now also print the name of the
function that has failed.

This ensures that the test scripts are correctly run with the Bourne shell, regardless of the (potentially more exotic) shell that is used to invoke the script.
The error message shouldn't specify the name of the binary, that's
supposed to be known by the caller.
Update test reference outputs.

Due to recent changes, lots of tests generated a slightly different
error output.
- bank-noexist : This test doesn't generate any error output now as
unknown labels are left for the linker to resolve.
- null-in-macro : This test used to crash. Now, the parser verifies that
a MACRO ends in ENDM, generating an error message if not.
