* rename tfloatdef.typ to tfloatdef.floattype
* rename tdef.deftype to tdef.typ
* remove obsolete browser code, browcol is kept so the ide
can still be compiled
git-svn-id: trunk@5192 -
* fixed fixref() which did not always treat addresses as 64 bit sizes, resulting in problems using above optimization
* cleanup
* removed assembly fpc_int_real again, has problems with border cases
git-svn-id: trunk@3795 -
(override/adjust cgutils.use_fixed_stack to change conditions where
this is done, currently only activated for darwin-i386)
* make sure the stack is always aligned to 16 bytes on darwin-i386
git-svn-id: trunk@2840 -
* copied createtempparaloc() method from i386 parameter manager to avoid copying for larger value parameters (see 2692)
* do not copy memory if references are equal in g_concatcopy()
* do not emit some strings used for debugging into assembly file in g_concatcopy by default anymore
* simplification of boolean expression in calc_stackframe_size()
git-svn-id: trunk@2694 -
* ppc64: moved function prolog/epilog helper code into startup code
* ppc64: added FPU configuration code in math unit (fixes tw3161)
git-svn-id: trunk@1786 -
* ppc64: cg now also replaces multiplications/divisions by negative powers of two by shifts (and a negate)
* ppc64: replacement of divison by constants now properly check the -O2 compiler switch
git-svn-id: trunk@1662 -
* added some more 64 bit PPC opcodes
* removed last mwpascal references
* added replacement of division/modulo by constant by multiplications and shifts for 64 bit
* general cleanup
git-svn-id: trunk@1648 -
* threading fixes for ppc64
* fixed a_param_ref to respect the size parameter on ppc64
* better stack size calculation for ppc64
git-svn-id: trunk@1599 -
* some cleanup and optimization of 64 bit address loading in the code generator
* small changes to the IDE to make it compile
* stat type update for packages/cdrom compatibility
git-svn-id: trunk@1375 -
* updated sysnr.inc for PowerPC64 from 2.6.11 kernel sources
* fixed SigactionRec sa_flags field sizes, which improves signal handling for PowerPC64 platform
git-svn-id: trunk@1352 -
assembler and debuginfo and use these vars to override
the defaults for the target after the parameters are read
* remove not-maintained and tested gdb code
git-svn-id: trunk@1201 -
