They are still supported in this version, with a warning, but won't be in the next. +Fixed a bug in OBJ format, which caused incorrect object records to +be output when absolute labels were made global. + Updates to RDOFF subdirectory, and changes to outrdf.c. + +0.95 released July 1997 +----------------------- + +Fixed yet another ELF bug. This one manifested if the user relied on +the default segment, and attempted to define global symbols without +first explicitly declaring the target segment. + +Added makefiles (for NASM and the RDF tools) to build Win32 console +apps under Symantec C++. Donated by Mark Junker. + +Added `macros.bas' and `insns.bas', QBasic versions of the Perl +scripts that convert `standard.mac' to `macros.c' and convert +`insns.dat' to `insnsa.c' and `insnsd.c'. Also thanks to Mark +Junker. + +Changed the diassembled forms of the conditional instructions so +that JB is now emitted as JC, and other similar changes. Suggested +list by Ulrich Doewich. + +Added `@' to the list of valid characters to begin an identifier +with. + +Documentary changes, notably the addition of the `Common Problems' +section in nasm.doc. + +Fixed a bug relating to 32-bit PC-relative fixups in OBJ. + +Fixed a bug in perm_copy() in labels.c which was causing exceptions +in cleanup_labels() on some systems. + +Positivity sanity check in TIMES argument changed from a warning to +an error following a further complaint. + +Changed the acceptable limits on byte and word operands to allow +things like `~10111001b' to work. + +Fixed a major problem in the preprocessor which caused seg-faults if +macro definitions contained blank lines or comment-only lines. + +Fixed inadequate error checking on the commas separating the +arguments to `db', `dw' etc. + +Fixed a crippling bug in the handling of macros with operand counts +defined with a `+' modifier. + +Fixed a bug whereby object file formats which stored the input file +name in the output file (such as OBJ and COFF) weren't doing so +correctly when the output file name was specified on the command +line. + +Removed [INC] and [INCLUDE] support for good, since they were +obsolete anyway. + +Fixed a bug in OBJ which caused all fixups to be output in 16-bit +(old-format) FIXUPP records, rather than putting the 32-bit ones in +FIXUPP32 (new-format) records. + +Added, tentatively, OS/2 object file support (as a minor variant on +OBJ). + +Updates to Fox Cutter's Borland C makefile, Makefile.bc2. + +Removed a spurious second fclose() on the output file. + +Added the `-s' command line option to redirect all messages which +would go to stderr (errors, help text) to stdout instead. + +Added the `-w' command line option to selectively suppress some +classes of assembly warning messages. + +Added the `-p' pre-include and `-d' pre-define command-line options. + +Added an include file search path: the `-i' command line option. + +Fixed a silly little preprocessor bug whereby starting a line with a +`%!' environment-variable reference caused an `unknown directive' +error. + +Added the long-awaited listing file support: the `-l' command line +option. + +Fixed a problem with OBJ format whereby, in the absence of any +explicit segment definition, non-global symbols declared in the +implicit default segment generated spurious EXTDEF records in the +output. + +Added the NASM environment variable. + +From this version forward, Win32 console-mode binaries will be +included in the DOS distribution in addition to the 16-bit binaries. +Added Makefile.vc for this purpose. + +Added `return 0;' to test/objlink.c to prevent compiler warnings. + +Added the __NASM_MAJOR__ and __NASM_MINOR__ standard defines. + +Added an alternative memory-reference syntax in which prefixing an +operand with `&' is equivalent to enclosing it in square brackets, +at the request of Fox Cutter. + +Errors in pass two now cause the program to return a non-zero error +code, which they didn't before. + +Fixed the single-line macro cycle detection, which didn't work at +all on macros with no parameters (caused an infinite loop). Also +changed the behaviour of single-line macro cycle detection to work +like cpp, so that macros like `extrn' as given in the documentation +can be implemented. + +Fixed the implementation of WRT, which was too restrictive in that +you couldn't do `mov ax,[di+abc wrt dgroup]' because (di+abc) wasn't +a relocatable reference. |
