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.
Standalone bracketed symbols like the following weren't being zero-terminated.
X EQUS {Y}
This doesn't apply to bracketed symbols that aren't standalone, but are
instead found in a string. For example, the following works even without this
fix.
X EQUS "{Y}"
When the while loop in `ParseSymbol` stops because of the symbol length,
`copied` will have the value of `MAXSYMLEN`, which is obviously not
greater than `MAXSYMLEN`. Changing the condition to `>=` fixes the
issue.
As a bonus, the correct union field will now be used. It shouldn't
matter, but it's technically UB to use a wrong one.
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 original list only existed because the documentation was split
across multiple files. When all keywords are described in a single
document, Ctrl+F suffices to find them.
