                      and others

        * Release of GNU Pascal version 2.1

Wed  1 May 2002 23:22 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * script/make-homepage: create hyperrefs between the same
          pages in different languages

        * doc/languages, doc/images/gradient.eps,
          doc/images/gradient.pdf: new files

Mon 29 Apr 2002 27:09 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * Make-lang.in: pascal.install-with-gcc: also do
          $(INSTALL_HEADERS)

Fri 26 Apr 2002 23:12 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * all files: EGCS92, EGCS95: changed to EGCS since no
          GCC versions between 2.8.1 and 2.95 are supported anymore

        * gpc.c: removed some declarations that are in system.h
          already; synced further with gcc-2.95.3's gcc.c, to fix a
          problem with dir separators under mingw

Tue 23 Apr 2002 26:29 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * units/gmp.pas, units/gmpc.c: add support for GMP library
          version 4

Sun 21 Apr 2002 25:27 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * test/test_run: ignore differences in trailing CRs when
          necessary (e.g., under mingw)

Mon  8 Apr 2002 33:55 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * Make-lang.in: pascal.install-compiler: moved the
          installation of libgcc.a to pascal.install-with-gcc

Sat  6 Apr 2002 21:02 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * crt.pas: under DJGPP, link -lpdcurses instead of -lcurso
          since it was renamed in recent PDCurses releases

Sat  6 Apr 2002 14:56 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * LIBS: file removed (instead, libraries.html is build on
          the web pages)

        * doc/en/copying-lib.texi: new file (from gcc/libiberty)

Thu  4 Apr 2002 28:17 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * script/check-doc: also test-compile the programs in demos/

Tue  2 Apr 2002 27:11 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * Make-lang.in, doc/*/home.html.in: make the manual availabe
          on the home page also in PDF format

Tue  2 Apr 2002 11:20 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc-defs.h, util.c, doc/*/*.texi, doc/*/gpc.1,
          units/crt.pas, units/gmp.pas, units/regex.pas: comment out
          notes about CVS; change the references to the former ftp
          and web site to the new domain

Sun 10 Mar 2002 25:14 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * config-lang.in: symlink the diffs for gcc-2.95.3-6 and
          gcc-2.95.4

Thu  7 Mar 2002 16:22 Prof. A Olowofoyeku <african_chief@bigfoot.com>

        * diffs/gcc-2.95.3-5.diff: new file

        * gpc.c: do_spec_1(): add case 'q' from the Cygwin/mingw
          gcc-2.95.3 patches to allow building GPC with these

Wed  6 Mar 2002 15:22 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpcpp.c: `ifdef' usage of TOOL_INCLUDE_DIR and
          GPLUSPLUS_INCLUDE_DIR like gcc-2.95's cccp.c and the
          Cygwin/mingw specific GCC patches, respectively, do

Tue  5 Mar 2002 26:29 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc.c: synced further with gcc-2.95.3's gcc.c

Tue  5 Mar 2002 14:57 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc-defs.h, gpc-decl.c, lang.c, module.c: use `fatal()'
          only for internal compiler errors (Debian's gcc-2.95.4
          seems to interpret it this way) and replaced it by
          `error (...); exit (FATAL_EXIT_CODE);' for other kinds of
          non-recoverable errors

Sat 23 Feb 2002 18:14 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc-defs.h: assert_no_error_mark: new macro, similar to a
          mechanism of gcc-3, to avoid crashing on error_mark_nodes
          when that would be too difficult to avoid otherwise

Sat 16 Feb 2002 24:35 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * units/trapc.c, units/trap.pas: undid (`ifdef'ed) the
          change of Jan 2 since it fails under Solaris with
          gcc-2.95.x (backend bug)

Sun 10 Feb 2002 10:41 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * module.c: store_node_fields(), load_node();
          utils/gpidump.pas: DumpNode: handle SAVE_EXPR and
          UNSAVE_EXPR

        * parse.y: constant_definition: unsave_expr() the value when
          necessary (emil11*.pas)

Sun  3 Feb 2002 30:48 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * Make-lang.in: pascal.install-with-gcc,
          pascal.bindist-with-gcc: new targets to install GPC with
          the needed GCC files cc1 and cpp/cpp0 (but not the C
          compiler driver gcc)

Thu 31 Jan 2002 30:15 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc-defs.h: INT_OUT_WIDTH, REAL_OUT_WIDTH, BOOL_OUT_WIDTH,
          LONG_INT_OUT_WIDTH, LONG_REAL_OUT_WIDTH: removed because
          the field widths can be set via command-line options and
          compiler directives; setting them at compiler build-time
          is not a good idea

Tue 29 Jan 2002 30:09 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc-convert.c: contents merged to types.c; file removed

Tue 29 Jan 2002 19:13 Mirsad Todorovac <mtodorov@alu.hr>

        * doc/hr/gpcs.texi: new file

Mon 28 Jan 2002 29:32 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc-decl.c, gpc-typeck.c, module.c, module.h, parse.y,
          util.c: we_are_loading_a_gpi_file: renamed to
          loading_gpi_file

Sat 26 Jan 2002 33:46 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * test/test_run: detect if compiler gets aborted by a signal
          (which means failure even for `WRONG' tests)

Fri 25 Jan 2002 16:19 Emil Jerabek <jerabek@math.cas.cz>

        * rts/math.pas: Ln1Plus: new function; Complex_ArcTan: made
          numerically more stable (emil9.pas)

Wed 23 Jan 2002 23:45 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpi.h, utils/Makefile, utils/mk-t-inc, utils/gpidump.pas:
          new files

Wed 23 Jan 2002 22:33 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc-typeck.c: contains_discriminant(), re_layout_type():
          add case UNION_TYPE (fjf600.pas)

Sun 20 Jan 2002 25:17 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * contains_discriminant(): new function

Sat 19 Jan 2002 17:34 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc-common.c: build_pascal_binary_op() and some other
          places: use `non_value()' instead of
          `build1 (NON_LVALUE_EXPR, ...)' so the NON_LVALUE_EXPR can
          be omitted when not necessary

Fri 18 Jan 2002 30:14 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc-decl.c and many other places: replace copy_node() by
          build_type_copy() when applied to types, to make sure the
          copies are allocated on the same obstack

        * lang.c: remove objc related routines

Thu 17 Jan 2002 19:09 Emil Jerabek <jerabek@math.cas.cz>

        * rts/math.pas: Complex_Pow: corrected the inverse
          computataion and made it numerically more stable
          (emil8.pas)

Mon 14 Jan 2002 14:36 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * test/test_run: add a timeout to stop endless loops in test
          programs

        * gpc.c: execute(): report signal name via strsignal or
          sys_siglist if available when child process is killed

Sat 12 Jan 2002 19:18 Maurice Lombardi <Maurice.Lombardi@ujf-grenoble.fr>

        * rts/math.pas: Complex_Abs: made numerically more stable

Thu 10 Jan 2002 21:20 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * script/ps2dsc: new script

Tue  8 Jan 2002 26:53 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc-config.in: removed (never used, and its "skeleton"
          gpc-config.h was also removed long time ago)

        * gpc-defs.h: GPC_GET_REAL: removed

        * gpc-decl.c: include <float.h> which is needed for DBL_MAX,
          DBL_MIN and DBL_EPSILON, and verify that those are
          actually defined (emil4.pas); don't use GPC_GET_REAL for
          them since they might be variables, not constants (e.g. on
          DJGPP); make_real(): new function

Tue  8 Jan 2002 17:54 Emil Jerabek <jerabek@math.cas.cz>

        * rts/math.pas: Complex_SqRt: made numerically more stable
          (emil3.pas); Complex_Ln: optimized a little

Fri  4 Jan 2002 12:24 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * doc/images: new directory; doc/*.{png,eps,pdf} moved here

        * doc/*.jpg: converted to PNG (documentation etc. adapted);
          files removed

        * demos/gradient.pas: new file

        * Make-lang.in: added rules for the Croatian documentation;
          changed p/doc/lang/info/foo.info* to
          p/doc/info/foo-lang.info* so the build file name
          (foo-lang.info) is the same as the installation file name

Thu  3 Jan 2002 17:11 Mirsad Todorovac <mtodorov@alu.hr>

        * doc/hr: new directory; doc/hr/PROCITAJ_ME, doc/hr/README,
          doc/hr/about.texi, doc/hr/authors.texi, doc/hr/gpc.1,
          doc/hr/gpc.nroff, doc/hr/gpc.texi, doc/hr/home.html.in,
          doc/hr/homepage.def, doc/hr/invoke.texi,
          doc/hr/keywords.texi, doc/hr/libs.texi,
          doc/hr/purpose.texi, doc/hr/resources.texi,
          doc/hr/support.texi, doc/hr/welcome.texi: new files

Thu  3 Jan 2002 32:59 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * test/test_sum: ignore trailing CR's (which occur, e.g.,
          when running the test suite under mingw and test_sum under
          Cygwin)

Wed  2 Jan 2002 11:00 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * units/trapc.c: file removed

        * units/trap.pas: replace setjmp/longjmp C calls (via
          trapc.c) with a trampoline trick in Pascal

        * units/intl.pas: link libiconv automatically under Dos if
          it was found during RTS configuration

        * rts/configure.in: check for libiconv

Sat 29 Dec 2001 28:48 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * test/test_run, test/*.cmp, test/*.run: use `-r' instead of
          `-f' (which some shells don't understand)

        * rts/string.pas: define LineBreak as "\n", not "\r\n",
          under Cygwin (pipetest.pas)

Thu 27 Dec 2001 30:52 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * units/intl.pas: link libintl automatically if it was found
          during RTS configuration

        * rts/configure.in: check for libintl

Thu 27 Dec 2001 30:46 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts.[ch]: renamed to rtscall.[ch]

Fri  7 Dec 2001 27:56 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc-defs.h: use `__PRETTY_FUNCTION__' (GCC extension) only
          when building with GCC

        * gpc-common.c: build_pascal_binary_op(): add some missing
          `;'s that GCC doesn't mind (seems GPC hasn't been built
          with a non-GCC compiler for a long time ...)

Sat  1 Dec 2001 19:38 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * module.c: replace obstacks by plain strings

Sat 24 Nov 2001 19:36 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * doc/grx-screen.png, doc/grx-screen-small.png: new files

Fri 23 Nov 2001 15:08 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * Make-lang.in: added rules to build the GPCS (en and de)

Fri 23 Nov 2001 15:08 Eike Lange <eike@gnu.de>
                      Roland Goretzki <roland@roland-goretzki.de>

        * doc/de/gpcs.texi: new file

Fri 23 Nov 2001 15:08 Nicola Girardi <nicola@g-n-u.de>

        * doc/en/gpcs.texi: new file

Tue 20 Nov 2001 26:37 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpcpp.c: main(): if in_fname is NULL or empty, set
          fp->nominal_fname and fp->fname to "stdin" because tools
          like mips-tfile on Alpha/OSF don't like an empty filename
          and would crash (fjf519[abe].pas)

Mon 12 Nov 2001 10:38 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * test/test_run: for `WRONG' tests, add `-w' option; new
          `WARN' option for tests to be run with `-Werror' and
          without `-w' (many test files adapted)

Sun 11 Nov 2001 29:01 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * module.c: changed the GPI format to make it a regularly
          chunked format instead of a mixture of various offsets
          pointing forth and back (many functions and macros
          changed, new, removed and renamed); store_node_fields():
          keep enum type values found in
          wb.append_enum_values_to_export; store_tree(): export
          those values in the main list (fjf211[^o].pas);
          module_repair_exported_ranges(): removed the autoexport
          enum value handling, renamed to
          module_expand_exported_ranges; store_node_fields(),
          load_node(): case FILE_TYPE: store/load TYPE_DOMAIN (t)
          (fjf211o.pas)

Sun 11 Nov 2001 27:39 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpcpp.c: skip_if_group(): reactivated the string handling
          code that was commented out with the reason: "Strings are
          nothing special in a non-active conditional". I think (and
          BP agrees) that they should be handled just like in active
          code (fjf402[a-c].pas). Probably this change will break
          something else, but since I don't know what, or who wrote
          this statement, we can only wait and see ...;
          handle_directive(): but deactivate special string handling
          here (fjf560[bf].pas)

Fri  9 Nov 2001 24:50 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * nodes.def: contents moved to module.c: special_nodes[];
          file removed

        * module.c: special_nodes[]: new variable; turned all
          #define/#include uses of nodes.def to accesses of
          special_nodes[]

Thu  8 Nov 2001 21:41 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * module.c: changed the GPI hashing code substantially,
          making it (much) shorter, (slightly) more efficient and
          (hopefully) clearer

        * gpi-hash.[ch]: integrated into module.c, the only place it
          was used, and made routines `static', to give GCC the
          possibility to optimize them better; files removed

Tue  6 Nov 2001 32:12 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts.c: build_rts_call(): case bp_PARAMSTR: use the code of
          the gpc_CSTRING2STRING case instead of duplicating most of
          it; case p_SUCC, p_PRED: merged; case bp_INC, bp_DEC:
          likewise; case LEX_AND, LEX_OR, LEX_XOR, LEX_SHL, LEX_SHR:
          likewise (operator_as_procedure(): removed); case
          bp_INCLUDE, bp_EXCLUDE: likewise; case p_MARK, p_RELEASE:
          likewise; case bp_CHDIR, bp_MKDIR, bp_RMDIR: likewise;
          case p_TRUNC, p_ROUND: likewise; all cases: simplify
          checking of language extensions, number and type of
          parameters, and formatting of messages a lot by using
          KItable

        * util.c, util.h: KItable[]: made publicly visible, added
          field `signature'

        * util.c: KItable[], calls to declare_known_id(): use proper
          casing; declare_known_id(): mangle casing

Mon  5 Nov 2001 25:27 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * types.c: assign_string(): do not expand_expr_stmt the
          assignment, but rather return it, callers changed

Sat  3 Nov 2001 30:40 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * Make-lang.in: pascal.install-common: install the gpc-run
          script

        * util.c: start_constructor(): let program call
          _p_doinitproc after the constructors (fjf482.pas);
          init_objects(): new function, code moved from
          call_method(), called from there; init_any(): call
          init_object() for objects; contains_file_or_schema_p():
          renamed to contains_auto_initialized_part_p(), also check
          for objects; check_for_control_variable(): return the
          variable, or error_mark_node if of wrong type to avoid
          crashing (forreal.pas)

        * parse.y: multiplying_operator: use TRUNC_MOD_EXPR for BP
          dialects, FLOOR_MOD_EXPR otherwise (fjf424[ac-e].pas)

        * rts.c: build_rts_call(): case SUCC_EXPR, PRED_EXPR: use
          build_binary_op instead of build_pascal_binary_op (we
          don't want type-chcking, user-defined operators and things
          like that here); case gpc_STRING2CSTRING: check type
          (fjf488xg.pas); rts_write(): case INTEGER_TYPE: if field2
          is set, convert to real (scaltst.pas)

        * gpc-common.c: build_pascal_binary_op(): case
          FLOOR_MOD_EXPR: don't allow negative right operand, like
          the standard prescribes; add some type-checking for
          PLUS_EXPR etc. (fjf277.pas, fjf309.pas, fjf399[ab].pas,
          fjf488xk.pas, fjf547[a-o].pas)

Fri 26 Oct 2001 29:55 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * Make-lang.in: new targets gpc.txt, pascal.testsuite-dist,
          pascal.testsuite-dist-djgpp, pascal.testsuite-dist-all

        * rts.c: get_read_flags(); gpc-options.h; lang-options.h;
          gpc-lex.c: warning_list_languages(); gpc-decl.c:
          pascal_decode_option(); lang-specs.h; gpc-defs.h: new
          options `--classic-pascal-level-0', `--classic-pascal'

        * lang-options.h, lang-specs.h, gpc-decl.c:
          pascal_decode_option(): new options `--big-endian',
          `--little-endian', `--print-needed-options'

        * lang-specs.h: add definition of `__GPC_VERSION__'

        * script/catlib: new script (not used currently, but may be
          useful in the future)

        * gpcpp.c: handle_option(): keep track of dialect options
          (fjf535[a-d].pas); handle_pascal_directive(): support
          local dialect options (fjf536[a-k].pas)

        * gpc-options.h: new table dialect_options

        * parse.y, gpc-defs.h, gpc-common.c, util.c, gpc-lex.c,
          rts.c: turn warnings about extensions into errors

        * parse.y: type_denoter, case_element, case_default; rts.c:
          get_standard_input(), get_standard_output(),
          get_standard_error(); gpc-lex.c: yylex(): turn warnings
          about ISO violations into errors

        * gpc-common.c: build_pascal_binary_op(); types.c:
          assign_set(); rts.c: build_rts_call(): case p_CARD:
          declare formal parameters for set operations, convert
          actual parameters to correct type (using ptype_set() and
          actual_set_parameters())

        * rts.c: ptype_set(), actual_set_parameters(): new
          functions; rts_read(), rts_write(): declare formal
          parameters for the RTS varargs routines so, e.g., writing
          reals works on MIPS; build_rts_call(): case bp_PARAMCOUNT,
          bp_PARAMSTR: use get_builtin_variable() to avoid duplicate
          internal declaration of _p_argc and _p_argv; case p_TRUNC,
          p_ROUND, p_POLAR: use INT_REAL to accept integer
          parameters where reals are expected (fjf229.pas,
          fjf303.pas, fjf541[ab].pas); case ucsd_CONCAT: give only a
          warning if only one argument is present (fjf542.pas); case
          ucsd_BLOCKREAD, ucsd_BLOCKWRITE: allow any integer type as
          the 4th parameter (chief33.pas, fjf252.pas,
          fjf543[a-f].pas); case ucsd_INSERT, ucsd_DELETE: don't
          accept constant locations as the second or first
          parameter, respectively (fjf268[a-d].pas, fjf473[ab].pas);
          case p_SQRT: merged with p_SIN etc. (Why was it separate?
          It does exactly the same.); case bp_MOVE, ucsd_MOVELEFT,
          ucsd_MOVERIGHT: likewise; gpc_UPCASE, gpc_LOCASE:
          likewise; case p_EOF, p_EOLN: merged; gpc_UPCASE,
          gpc_LOCASE: use string_may_be_char (fjf544[ab].pas); case

          E_O_U_B_D_PASCAL, E_O_U_B_D_G_PASCAL: removed

        * gpc-decl.c: duplicate_decls(): don't allow multiple
          declarations of the same variable, even of the same type
          (dave1.pas, fjf316.pas, fjf453.pas)

        * module.c: export_interface(), handle_autoexport():
          store list tail pointer in the TREE_PUSPOSE of the entries
          of current_module->autoexport, use that for faster
          appending (O(n) instead of O(n^2)); append_string_list(),
          read_extra_gpi_data(): new functions; gpi_open():
          simplified, don't add imports and link files if module is
          going to be recompiled; create_gpi_files(),
          extend_gpi_files(), read_extra_gpi_data(): prefix the
          extra data in GPI files (imported interfaces and link
          files) by a code instead of terminating each with an empty
          string, use this mechanism to store gpc-main in GPI files
          (fjf545.pas); suspend_autoexport(): new function; struct
          module: new field autoexport_suspended; locate_file():
          don't interpret empty items in the path list as the root
          directory, but rather as the current directory, don't
          search the path if filename contains a dir separator,
          otherwise search in the current directory after, not
          before, any directories in searchpath -- for this to work,
          search all relevant paths in one invocation, parameters
          and callers changed, locate_file_1(): new subroutine

        * parse.y, gpc-lex.c: CHAR_LITERAL removed (LEX_STRCONST
          used instead)

        * parse.y:
          main_program_declaration: remove wrong warning "no program
          parameters specified"

          id_list1: new symbol, build list in reverse order to avoid
          O(n^2) behaviour; id_list: nreverse list built in id_list1

          any_declaration_import_part, any_declaration_part: check
          order of declarations (chuck1[a-c].pas)

          any_or_import_decl, any_decl, simple_decl: label with kind
          of declaration

          constant_definition: remove redundant handle_autoexport
          call for typed constants since declare_vars does this
          already

          declaring_statement: remove handle_autoexport call since
          this never occurs in an interface

          for_statement: apply convert_and_check to for_u_bound
          (chuck2.pas)

          variable_or_function_access_no_standard_function: new
          symbol, introduced to get rid of the one S/R conflict that
          was actually not due to error recovery rules

          lower_than_error: new token, used in some precedence rules
          to avoid the error recovery S/R conflicts

          formal_parameter: don't pass `const' parameters of any
          integer (in particular LongInt) or real type by reference
          (fjf227[ab].pas, fjf228[a-c].pas, fjf319.pas,
          fjf391[ab].pas, fjf530.pas)

          set_constructor_element_list: move empty case to
          set_constructor (fjf532.pas)

          any_module_decl: new directives `public' and `private' for
          interfaces (fjf538[ab].pas)

          combined_string: new symbol; variable_directive,
          directive, optional_unit_filename, asm_operand: use

          case_element; types.c: build_pascal_array_ref();
          rts.c: rts_write(), build_rts_call() (several places):
          apply TYPE_MAIN_VARIANT to the arguments of comptypes
          (adam3[a-v].pas, chief31.pas);

        * gpc-common.c: build_pascal_address_expression: implement
          flag_typed_address (fjf540[a-h].pas)

        * types.c: build_pascal_array_ref(): WORDS_BIG_ENDIAN is no
          compile-time constant, so test it with `if' rather than
          `#if'

        * util.c: init_any(): convert internal index variable to
          correct type before comparing it with upper bound
          (theo1[ab].pas); new_string_by_model(): remove redundant
          init_any call (make_new_variable does this already)

        * gpc-typeck.c: build_binary_op(): case LE_EXPR, GE_EXPR,
          LT_EXPR, GT_EXPR: don't set result_type until finding
          suitable types (fjf235[a-d].pas, fjf392.pas, fjf463.pas,
          fjf503.pas, fjf529.pas)

Thu  4 Oct 2001 30:41 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * Make-lang.in: pascal.bindist: do a chdir before rm because
          not all systems can remove the cwd

Mon  1 Oct 2001 13:00 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/configure.in: make the volatile temp variables in the
          test programs global, otherwise when compiling with
          optimization, some assignments get optimized away and some
          tests succeed wrongly

Fri 28 Sep 2001 23:17 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * Make-lang.in: EXTRA_TARFLAGS: renamed to GPC_TARFLAGS,
          included czf into them, made the syntax compatible with
          non-GNU versions of tar

Tue 25 Sep 2001 33:29 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc.c: hack_predefines(): simplified

Mon  3 Sep 2001 27:20 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc-common.c: pascal_type_extension() and some other
          obsolete stuff removed

Sat 18 Aug 2001 25:09 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts.c: build_rts_call(): cases ucsd_COPY, p_SUBSTR,
          p_TRIM: give a meaningful error message if first parameter
          is no string or compatible type (fjf488[xy][imn].pas)

        * util.c: new_string_by_model(): abort if no string or
          compatible type

        * types.c: is_string_compatible_type(): new function

Thu 16 Aug 2001 21:52 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/rts.c: don't use long real routines unless they are
          declared in a system header; the implicit declaration
          (int) would be wrong, of course, and an explicit
          declaration might be wrong since different compilers might
          have differenct ideas of `long double' (this seems to be a
          problem on, e.g., AIX)

        * rts/configure.in: check for declarations of long real
          routines

        * module.c: load_gpm_file(): use a memfile for gpm_file, so
          we can use load_string() there as well

Fri 13 Jul 2001 23:26 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * config-lang.in: avoid `\|' which non-GNU greps don't
          understand

        * gpc.c: check_amtmpfile_switch(): consider the language set
          via `-x' or `--language'

        * lang-specs.h: new entry `@Preprocessed-Pascal'

Mon  9 Jul 2001 32:03 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/*.pas, units/*.pas, demos/*.pas, utils/*.pas: made
          (mostly) conformant to the draft GNU Pascal Coding
          Standards

Sun  8 Jul 2001 21:11 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * Makefile.in, Make-lang.in: removed references to
          memfiles.[cho] and circle-buf.[cho]

        * circle-buf.[ch]: integrated into gpi-hash.c, the only
          place it was used, and made routines `static', to give GCC
          the possibility to optimize them better; files removed

        * memfiles.[ch]: integrated into module.h, module.c,
          avoiding a number a function calls to speed up GPI file
          access; files removed

        * module.c: store_string(), load_string(): allow for strings
          longer than 255 chars for identifiers, file names etc. in
          GPI and GPM files; gpi_open(): actually process the header
          (like the comment claimed, but the code didn't do so far)
          and check the GPI file version; load_gpm_file(): likewise
          for GPM files; extend_gpi_files(): initialize length for
          each file

Thu  5 Jul 2001 33:14 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * module.c: store_tree(), load_tree(): case FIELD_DECL:
          store/load DECL_MODE (fjf330.pas, fjf517.pas)

        * types.c: assign_string(): optimize assignment of the
          constant empty string; use save_expr() to avoid computing
          the length twice in the normal case

        * rts.c: build_rts_call(): optimize (non-padding)
          comparisons with the constant empty string

Tue  3 Jul 2001 26:10 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc.c: main(): copied code from gcc-2.95.3's gcc.c to call
          `ld' when `collect2' is not available

Sun  1 Jul 2001 20:00 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/configure.in: added autoconf checks for sleep and
          _sleep and a check whether mkdir takes one or two
          arguments; GPC_CHECK_FIELD, GPC_CHECK_TYPE, GPC_CHECK_VAR,
          GPC_CHECK_DECL, GPC_CHECK_FUNC_DECL: added `volatile'
          before all variables in the test programs, otherwise when
          compiling with optimization, some assignments get
          optimized away and some tests succeed wrongly

Sat 30 Jun 2001 18:03 Nicola Girardi <nikke@swlibero.org>

        * rts/rts.c: avoid some warnings about uninitialized
          variables (e.g., under mingw)

        * rts/error.pas, rts/time.pas: avoid some spurious
          gcc-2.95.x warnings

Sat 23 Jun 2001 23:35 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc-typeck.c: pop_init_level(),
          output_pending_init_elements(): handle non-zero lower
          array bounds in initializers (fjf247.pas)

Tue 19 Jun 2001 18:23 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpcpp.c: kludge_parse_c_expression(): new function, kludge
          to "solve" fjf238.pas, fjf266.pas, ian6.pas

Sun  3 Jun 2001 27:27 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * module.c: create_gpm_file(), create_gpi_files(),
          extend_gpi_files(): don't convert directory names to lower
          case when doing this with GPI etc. file names

Thu 31 May 2001 21:30 Russ Whitaker <russ@ashlandhome.net>

        * diffs/mkdiff: updated for gcc-3.0

        * diffs/gcc-3.0.diff.russ: new file

Tue 29 May 2001 14:40 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * util.c: start_constructor(): use extra_inits,
          extra_inits_used

        * gpc-decl.c: pascal_decode_option(): set extra_inits,
          extra_inits_used

        * util.c: char *extra_inits, extra_inits_used: new variables

Mon 21 May 2001 23:02 Matthias Klose <doko@cs.tu-berlin.de>

        * diffs/gcc-3.0.diff.matthias: new file

Wed 16 May 2001 13:07 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/heap.pas: _p_malloc(), _p_free(), _p_gpc_reallocmem():
          removed

        * rts/rts.c, rts/file.c, units/pipec.c: call _p_new() rather
          than _p_malloc() and _p_reallocmem() instead of
          _p_gpc_reallocmem()

Sat 12 May 2001 17:55 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc.c: concat_args(): removed (I suppose it was only
          necessary on Windoze when automake arguments were passed
          via `--automake="..."' which has long been changed; since
          GCC doesn't seem to contain something similar, I figure
          it's not necessary anymore; in contrast, it really did
          wrong things on a real OS, e.g., when setting a define to
          a string enclosed in double quotes, e.g. an include file
          name (`-DFOO='"bar"''))

Sat 12 May 2001 11:19 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * units/crtlinux386.h, demos/crtscreen.c: support devfs
          device names under Linux >= 2.4

Fri 11 May 2001 23:25 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * Make-lang.in: install-libgpc: renamed to
          pascal.install-lib; added support to install additional
          libraries via GPC_EXTRA_INSTALL_LIBS

Mon  7 May 2001  9:07 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * script/gpc-run: new script

Mon  7 May 2001  2:51 Matthias Klose <doko@cs.tu-berlin.de>

        * config-lang.in: recognize gcc-3.0

        * Make-lang.in: correct a path

Fri  4 May 2001 29:13 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts.c, rts/rts-va.c: pass the global flags to `Read',
          `Write' and related functions as a separate argument,
          rather than ORing them to the type code, to simplify the
          decoding in the RTS; implemented the missing flags

Wed  2 May 2001 24:14 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts.c: rts_string(), rts/rts-va.c: _p_string(): removed

        * rts.c, rts/rts-va.c, rts/string2.pas: the same as my last
          change for _p_eq(), _p_lt(), _p_str_eq(), _p_str_lt() and
          _p_index()

Tue  1 May 2001 30:47 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts.c, rts/rts-va.c, rts/string2.pas: call _p_trim() and
          _p_substr() directly by the compiler rather than through
          _p_string(); pass arguments as Pascal strings, rather than
          as char pointers plus length

Tue  1 May 2001 23:58 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts.c, rts.h: removed ptype_cstring (according to the
          fixme comment, maybe this was a kludge, anyway)

        * rts/file.c, rts/files.pas, rts.c: _p_rename(), _p_chdir(),
          _p_mkdir() and _p_rmdir() now take a `const String' rather
          than a `CString' parameter (fjf488[a-d].pas)

Sat 28 Apr 2001 30:40 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
                      Maurice Lombardi <Maurice.Lombardi@ujf-grenoble.fr>
                      Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * units/crtdjgpp.h: use _p_SleepMicroSeconds() instead of
          napms()

        * rts/rts.c: usleep2(): new function under DJGPP;
          _p_SleepMicroSeconds(): new function, use usleep2() under
          DJGPP

Sat 28 Apr 2001 23:48 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc-decl.c: pascal_decode_option(): changed the delimiter
          in `--field-widths' from `,' to `:', to make it
          distinguishable from the `,' used to delimit several
          compiler options

Mon 23 Apr 2001 29:49 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * module.c: execute(): call `gcc' rather than `gpc' to
          compile C++ programs if GPC is based on gcc-2.8.1

        * module.c: renamed flag_verbose to flag_verbose_defunct to
          avoid confusion and wasting time (like I just did)-:

Sun 22 Apr 2001 19:39 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/rtsc.pas: make some previously internal low-level
          routines public

Sat 21 Apr 2001 27:46 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * script/rts-c-to-pas: new script

Fri 20 Apr 2001 22:35 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc.c: remove obsolete dialect stuff based on executable
          name (was #if 0'd already)

Fri 20 Apr 2001 20:28 Andris Pavenis <pavenis@latnet.lv>

        * gpc.c: translate_options(): correct some wrong string
          comparisons that caused intermittent failure to link -lgpc
          and -lm

Fri 20 Apr 2001 14:42 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * Makefile.in: moved rules for parse.[ch] and hash.h to
          Make-lang.in, so they can be properly included in
          $(GPC_GENERATED_FILES)

Tue 17 Apr 2001 30:08 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * script/gpcdiff.exclude: remove all entries that referred
          to files in the build directory (which nowadays should
          always be different from the source directory), since the
          entry `gen*' (for some GCC files) conflicted with
          doc/generated/

Tue 17 Apr 2001 25:30 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/pexecute.c: moved to units/pipec.c; rts/file.pas:
          Pascal part and public declarations of PExecute moved to
          units/pipe.pas. Both interfaces (PExecute and the Pipe
          unit) serve similar purposes and both are not general
          enough. In the future, they should be replaced by
          something more general (and partly easier to use), with
          thin RTS support, and a plain Pascal emulation of both old
          interfaces in the Pipe unit.

Sun 15 Apr 2001 25:05 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/error.pas: removed RTSDebugFlag and related code

        * rts/types.h: moved definition of struct Fdr and related
          types to file.c; moved other type declarations (which are
          not accessed by the compiler, anyway) to rts.h; defined
          FDR_Size using another, somewhat better kludge than
          before, not requiring struct Fdr to be defined in this
          file; since the file contains only constants and no types
          now, renamed it to rts/constants.h

        * rts/rts-va.c, rts/rts.c: moved the few remaining parts of
          code that refer to fields of struct Fdr to rts/file.c

Wed 11 Apr 2001 17:40 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts.c: build_buffer_ref(): get the file buffer pointer
          from _p_lazytryget(), _p_lazyget() or _p_lazyunget()
          rather than reading it directly from the file variable, so
          the compiler doesn't need to know the position and size of
          the FilBuf field in the file variable anymore

        * rts/file.c: _p_lazytryget(), _p_lazyget(), _p_lazyunget():
          return the file buffer pointer

Tue 10 Apr 2001 11:07 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * doc/en/gpc.texi, doc/en/resources.texi: include
          doc/GnuPascal.eps

        * doc/epsf.tex: new file, needed for Texinfo to include EPS
          files copied from a TeX distribution

        * doc/GnuPascal.eps: new file, created from
          doc/GnuPascal.png using AutoTrace

        * doc/Gnu+Pascal*: renamed to doc/GnuPascal#1 because TeX's
          EPS inclusion can't seem to handle the `+' character

        * rts.c: build_rts_call(): pass the buffer size to
          _p_reset(), _p_rewrite() and _p_extend() rather than
          storing it directly into the file variable, so the
          compiler doesn't need to know the position and size of the
          FilSiz field in the file variable anymore

        * rts/file.c: _p_reset(), _p_rewrite(), _p_extend(): take
          the buffer size as a 4th parameter (-1 to signal that it's
          not specified)

Mon  9 Apr 2001 12:00 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc.c: define MKTEMP_EACH_FILE and use cpp0 rather than
          cpp if GCC_2_95_3 is defined

        * config-lang.in: check if GCC version is 2.95.3 and define
          GCC_2_95_3 in gcc-version.h if so

        * diffs/gcc-2.95.3.diff: new file; differs from
          diffs/gcc-2.95.diff only by some offsets

Sun 25 Mar 2001 24:55 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * doc/en/resources.texi: new file, contains what was in
          doc/en/misc.html.in, texified and updated

        * doc/en/homepage.def: new file, language-dependent texts
          for the GPC homepage from script/make-homepage moved here

Sat 24 Mar 2001 27:39 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * setop.[ch]: removed (not needed anymore)

Sat 24 Mar 2001 23:49 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * doc/generated: new directory; all automatically generated
          Texinfo files moved here from doc/

        * doc/en: new directory; English Texinfo files moved here
          from doc/

        * doc/en/info: new directory: English Info files are now
          built here

        * doc/de, doc/de/info: new directories; German Texinfo and
          Info files, respectively, will be put here

Sat 24 Mar 2001 19:39 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * doc/contributors.texi: moved to doc/authors.texi; list of
          names of contributors left in doc/contributors.texi

Thu 22 Mar 2001 26:54 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/gpc.pas: now generated automatically from
          rts/gpc-pas.in and the interfaces of the Pascal files in
          rts/

        * rts/internal.pas: renamed to rts/rtsc.pas

        * script/make-library-interface: new script

Mon  5 Mar 2001 19:52 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/file.c: removed FiSEEK

Sun  4 Mar 2001 18:33 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/fdr.h: contents moved into rts/file.c; file removed

Tue 27 Feb 2001 6:37 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc.c: main(): removed the dialect specific behaviour if
          `gpc' is invoked as `pc' (standard pascal), `epc'
          (extended pascal), `bpc' (borland pascal), etc.

        * parse.y: address_operator: dropped the alternative address
          operator `&' (`@' is still there)

Fri 23 Feb 2001 7:02 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * utils: new directory

        * utils/binobj.pas: new file

        * demos/binobjdemo.pas: new file

Sat 20 Jan 2001 21:36 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * doc/install.texi: tell about the GCC sources on agnes.

        * objects.c: construct_vmt(): the PASCAL_ABSTRACT_METHOD
          flag is set in the field decl, not in the forward
          declaration of the function.
          mark_abstract_method(): abstract methods are virtual.

Sat 20 Jan 2001 19:52 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-decl.c: abstract_mark_node: new variable.
          init_decl_processing(): initialize abstract_mark_node.

        * gpc-defs.h: PASCAL_ABSTRACT_METHOD(): new accessor macro.

        * objects.c: construct_vmt(): initialize abstract methods as NULL.
          mark_abstract_method(): new function.

        * parse.y: type_definition_part: enable/disable `Abstract'.
          unpacked_structured_type: allow for `abstract' in front of
          object types (ignored currently).
          optional_abstract: new rule.
          object_fixed_part, object_section: handle `abstract'.
          assignment_or_call_statement: mark arrays as "assigned"
          when a component has been assigned.

        * rts.c: build_rts_call(): do not require `X+' for `SetLength'.

Wed 17 Jan 2001 11:23 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * util.c: pascal_init(): next try: output GPC version number
          here (include "p/version.h")

Sat 13 Jan 2001 10:58 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * parse.y: language_string: this must be "GNU Pascal" as it is
          used from `rs6000.c'. Either this usage or that in `gpc -v'
          is a bug in GCC.

Sat 13 Jan 2001 10:08 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpcpp.c: main(): output the GPC version number besides the
          GCC version number (requires including "p/version.h")

        * parse.y: declaration of language_string: likewise for gpc1
          (also requires including "p/version.h")

Fri 12 Jan 2001 26:51 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-defs.h: IS_DIR_SEPARATOR(): new macro, only declared
          if not already provided by GCC.

        * gpc-decl.c: pascal_decode_option(): use IS_DIR_SEPARATOR()
          instead of checking manually for '/' || DIR_SEPARATOR.
          pushdecl(): check for tree code class 'd' before using the
          PASCAL_REDEFINABLE_DECL flag.

        * gpc-lex.c: check_if_predefined_type(), yylex(): check for
          tree code class 'd' before using the PASCAL_REDEFINABLE_DECL flag.

        * module.c: locate_file(), store_executable_name(), compile_module(),
          create_gpi_files(): use IS_DIR_SEPARATOR().
          store_tree(): check for tree code class 'd' before using the
          PASCAL_REDEFINABLE_DECL flag.

        * util.c: pascal_init(), trim_filename(): use IS_DIR_SEPARATOR().

Mon 1 Jan 2001 15:54 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * circle-buf.c, gpi-hash.c, module.c: we are using obstacks here.

        * gbe.h: EGCS97 does not like #include <ctype.h> and also lacks the
          declaration of save_argv in toplev.h.

        * gpc-decl.c: removed obstack stuff.
          init_decl_processing(): declare some special types that allow us to
          deal with standard type definitions noted as C types.

Sun 31 Dec 2000 19:28 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * parse.y: language_string: this is `const' only with EGCS97.

Sun 31 Dec 2000 19:08 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * util.c: KItable[]: use LABEL_DECL instead of FUNCTION_DECL for
          directives. This is equally wrong, but avoids some confusion since
          there are no "real" built-in LABEL_DECLs. A LANG_DECL node would be
          useful here ...

Sun 31 Dec 2000 18:31 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        These changes make gpc1 compile with EGCS97; the resulting compiler
        is not able to deal with initializers. However, other backends than
        gcc-2.97 are not affected since everything is `#ifdef EGCS97'ed.

        To fix this problem and to finish the integration of GPC into GCC,
        the initialization stuff has to be rewritten.

        * gpc-typeck.c: extensive changes for EGCS97.
          removed use of obstacks.
          c_sizeof(): simplified.
          build_unary_op(), check_init_type_bitfields(), push_init_level(),
          pop_init_level(): new versions without Pascal functionality but
          which compile with EGCS97.
          internal_build_compound_expr(): use warn_unused_value instead of
          warn_unused; provide a #define for pre-EGCS97.
          initializer_constant_valid_p(): removed.
          output_init_element(), output_pending_init_elements(),
          process_init_element(): `#ifdef'ed away things EGCS97 does not like
          (because they use DECL_FIELD_BITPOS).

Sun 31 Dec 2000 16:01 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * doc/bpqstart.texi: new section `BP Procedural Types'

Sun 31 Dec 2000 15:31 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * circle-buf.c, gpc-common.c, gpc-convert.c, gpc-decl.c, gpc-lex.c,
          gpc-typeck.c, gpi-hash.c, lang.c, memfiles.c, module.c, objects.c,
          parse.y, rts.c, setop.c, types.c, util.c: cleaned up inclusion of
          headers.

        * config-lang.c: simplified extraction of GCC version information
          (Thanks, Frank!:-).
          write important user information to stderr rather than stdout.
          renamed Make*-old.in to Make*-2.8.in.

        * gbe.h: cleaned up; include standard headers from here in
          a unified way.

        * gpc-common.c, gpc.c, lang.c: added authors.

        * gpc-common.c, gpc-decl.c, module.c, parse.y, types.c, util.c:
          removed use of obstacks for EGCS97.

        * gpc-common.c: extern struct obstack permanent_obstack: removed
          declaration which does not belong here.
          c_expand_start_cond(), c_expand_end_cond(), c_expand_start_else(),
          record_international_format(), check_function_format(),
          check_format_info(), get_directive_line(): removed.
          decl_attributes(): don't record `printf'-style formats.

        * gpc-decl.c: re-ordered tree node declarations for EGCS97.
          pushdecl(): check whether we have a FUNCTION_DECL before testing
          the DECL_INLINE flag; do not warn about redefinition of built-in
          functions.
          init_decl_processing(): use the build_common_tree_nodes* functions
          with EGCS97; removed ridpointers[]; initialize new tree node
          `void_ftype_ptr'; removed call to init_function_format_info().
          start_decl(), store_parm_decls(): removed support for `protoize'.
          start_function(): do not complain about the `void' return type of
          procedures.
          finish_function(): there is no `can_reach_end' in EGCS97.

        * gpc-defs.h: "system.h" is not a <standard header>; do not include
          c-common.h; enum rid: moved here from ../c-lex.h (this is a kludge
          anyway and subject to removal); extern int size_volatile:
          declaration moved here from gbe.h as this is now in the frontend,
          no more in the GBE; declare some tree nodes here.

        * gpc-lex.c: check_newline(): took out handling of directives but
          output of debugging information.
          check_if_predefined_type(), yylex(): built-in identifiers need no
          longer be VAR_DECLs.

        * gbe.h, gpc.c, util.h: removed VPARAMS and PVPARAMS.

        * gpcpp.c: treat sys_errlist[] always as `const'.
          pass_thru_directive(): pass an additional newline in front of the
          directive, to avoid "{$define foo}#define foo" with option -g3.
          make_assertion(): allow for "-A foo=bar" as an alternate syntax for
          "-A foo(bar)" defined in EGCS97.

        * lang.c: lang_get_alias_set(): new hook.

        * module.c: store_decl_flags(), load_decl_flags(): EGCS97 has a new
          inner structure of tree nodes.
          store_tree(), load_tree(): EGCS97 has no DECL_FIELD_BITPOS.

        * nodes.def: there are other global tree nodes in EGCS97.

        * parse.y: language_string: it's `const' now.
          subrange_type: allocate permanent tree nodes (outside EGCS97).
          function_declaration: cleaned up use of variables and macros:
          TREE_VALUEs exist in tree lists; in expressions there are
          TREE_OPERANDs.
          factor: there is no DECL_FIELD_SIZE in EGCS97.
          variable_or_function_access_no_id: eliminated use of lastiddecl.

        * types.c: build_pascal_pointer_type(), convert_type_to_range():
          allocate permanent tree nodes (outside EGCS97).

        * util.c: ridpointers[]: removed.
          boolean_true_node, boolean_false_node: redundant declarations
          removed.
          declare_known_id(): new parameter `code' specifies which kind of
          tree node to generate (instead of VAR_DECLs).
          struct known_id: new field `code'.
          KItable[], declare_known_ids(): added `code' fields.
          trim_filename(), vnotice(), notice(): unified with EGCS97.
          init_parse(): this returns `const char*' in EGCS97.

Sat 30 Dec 2000 13:42 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * parse.y: function_declaration: `heading' is not a tree list.
          Fixed code which worked only by chance.

Sat 23 Dec 2000 24:50 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gbe.h: added missing attributes of fatal().

        * gpc-decl.c: pending_invalid_xref_file,
          current_function_prototype_file: these "char *" variables
          must not be "const" with gcc-2.8.1.

        * memfiles.c: #include system headers before "system.h".

        * util.c: pascal_print_error_function(): report module/unit
          con/destructors and the main program as such.
          trim_filename(), vnotice(), notice(): new functions for gcc-2.8.1.

Sat 23 Dec 2000 21:56 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        Proceeding with integration into gcc-2.96.

        * gbe.h, gpc-common.c, gpc-convert.c, gpc-defs.c, gpc-lex.c, tree.h,
          lang.c, module.h: added more fragments from gcc-2.96 integration.

        * gpc-decl.c: c_decode_option(): renamed to pascal_decode_option();
          removed C-specific options for gcc-2.96.
          poplevel(): label warnings are separated in gcc-2.96.
          duplicate_decls(), pushdecl(), finish_decl(): DECL_BUILT_IN field
          has been replaced by DECL_BUILT_IN_CLASS.
          define_label(): avoid "assignment discards const" warning.
          init_decl_processing(): builtin_function() has changed.
          builtin_function(): changed to use DECL_BUILT_IN_CLASS instead
          of DECL_BUILT_IN.
          grokdeclarator(): DECL_FIELD_BITPOS does no longer exist.
          finish_struct(): initialize new field DECL_FIELD_SIZE.

        * gpc-lex.c: check_newline(): avoid "assignment discards const"
          warning.

        * lang.c: finish_file(): ASM_OUTPUT_CONSTRUCTOR and
          ASM_OUTPUT_DESTRUCTOR need not exist.

        * memfiles.c: #include "gcc-version.h" - how could this ever
          work without that?

Sun 17 Dec 2000 24:27 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-defs.h: PASCAL_OPERATOR_FUNCTION(): new flag.

        * parse.y: function_declaration, function_heading:
          flag operator definitions.

        * util.c: pascal_print_error_function(): new function.
          pascal_init(): initialize print_error_function hook.

Sun 17 Dec 2000 22:22:22 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-defs.h: abort(): direct bug reports to the GPC mailing list.

Thu 14 Dec 2000 19:09 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * parse.y: operator_identifier: include missing operators
          here which are no longer in new_identifier.

Wed 6 Dec 2000 20:10 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * config-lang.in: Added warning for gcc-2.96.

Fri 24 Nov 2000 23:18:37 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        Still integrating GPC into gcc-2.96 (EGCS) which will become
        gcc-3.0.  This still does not work, but a few files are already
        ready.

        * Make-lang-2.96.in, Makefile-2.96.in: new files.

        * config-lang.in: From gcc-2.96 on, ../version.c contains
          more than just the version_string variable.

        * diffs/gcc-2.96.diff: new file.

Sat 18 Nov 2000 14:37 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/Makefile.in: rts/rts-va.c can now be compiled without
          disabling some warnings

        * rts/rts-va.c: change to ISO varargs

Wed 15 Nov 2000 27:24 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * doc/bpqstart.texi, doc/reference.texi: re-inserted
          documentation of using `Shl'/`Shr' as "procedures".

        * parse.y: rts_proc_parlist: `Shl'/`Shr' as "procedures".

        * rts.c: operator_as_procedure(): new function.
          build_rts_call(): case LEX_AND, LEX_OR, LEX_XOR: use
          INLINE_RTS_LENGTH() and operator_as_procedure();
          case LEX_NOT: use INLINE_RTS_LENGTH();
          case LEX_SHL, LEX_SHR: new cases for `Shl'/`Shr' as
          "procedures".

Tue 7 Nov 2000 24:15:12 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * types.c: build_pascal_array_ref(): Implicitly dereference
          schemata between multiple indexes (rudy1.pas).

Sat  7 Oct 2000 27:46 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * doc/*.texi: unindented all examples (now checked by
          check-doc)

        * doc/reference.texi: made all remaining existing demo
          programs compilable (as now found by check-doc)

        * script/check-doc: added more checks

Thu  5 Oct 2000 23:36 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * doc/reference.texi: renamed `TestFoo' programs to
          `FooDemo' (because they are demo, not test, programs, and
          to have more freedom WRT "8+3" file names); made some more
          demo programs compilable (as verified by check-doc)

Tue  3 Oct 2000 25:01 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * test/test_run: flag compiler crashes and internal errors
          as failures even in `WRONG' programs

        * util.c, parse.y: removed long-obsolete `DEFAULT' and
          `OTHERS' tokens

        * doc/reference.texi: fixed sorting errors and added missing
          skeletons found by check-doc

        * doc/reference.texi, doc/programming.texi: fixed errors in
          the demo programs found by check-doc

        * doc/reference.texi: `rewrite' is an English word, so don't
          capitalize the `W'

        * script/*: made scripts more robust WRT quoting and use of
          temp files

Sun 1 Oct 2000 18:22 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * doc/reference.texi, doc/programming.texi: Patched in
          changes by Dominik Freche.

        * doc/bpqstart.texi: Adapted references.

        * script/cvsupdate: preserve permissions.

        * test/getopt*.run: dummy change to update permissions.

Mon 25 Sep 2000 20:04 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * test/test_run: added `sh' to run the compile and run
          scripts, so we don't have to worry about executable
          permissions here

        * doc/support.texi: documented the fact that the scripts are
          always run by `sh' now

        * rts/rts.h: don't include both <signal.h> and
          <bsd/signal.h> (would cause duplicate definitions under
          Linux 2.4)

Sun 17 Sep 2000 29:32 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * util.c, rts/types.h, rts/internal.pas, rts/file.c,
          doc/reference.texi: added the Size field in BindingType
          again

Sat 16 Sep 2000 10:45 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/rts.c: _p_exit(): on runtime error, exit with a fixed
          status (EXIT_RUNTIME_ERROR, definable in rts/rts.h) rather
          than the error code

Tue 11 Sep 2000 18:42 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * Make-lang*.in: Since current versions of GCC come with
          makeinfo < 4.0 and we need >= 4.0, s/\$(MAKEINFO)/makeinfo/g.

Mon 11 Sep 2000 22:18 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * ../gcc.c for gcc-2.8.1: link_command_spec: use
          LINK_COMMAND_SPEC again which had got lost.

Thu  7 Sep 2000 29:40 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/bind.c, rts/randfile.c, rts/read.c, rts/write.c:
          functions moved to file.c, files removed (this does not
          cause additional linking inefficiencies since all of these
          files were linked into a Pascal program, anyway, and it
          will help later conversion of the routines to Pascal)

Sun 27 Aug 2000 22:43 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * circle-buf.h, gbe.h, gpc-common.c, gpc-decl.c, gpc-defs.h,
          gpc-lex.c, gpc-tree.h, gpc-typeck.c, gpi-hash.c, gpi-hash.h,
          lang.c, lang.h, memfiles.c, memfiles.h, module.c, module.h,
          objects.h, parse.y, rts.c, rts.h, setop.c, setop.h,
          types.c, types.h, util.c, util.h: s/PROTO/PARAMS/g,
          and other adaptions of prototypes to egcs-20000821.

        * gpc.c: same here, but also for PVPARAMS.

        * gpcpp.c: same here, but without ansidecl.h.

        * gpc.c: my_strerror(): replaced by xstrerror() in egcs-20000821.

        * gbe.h: use the new GBE includes in egcs-20000821.

        * ../toplev.c for gcc-2.8.1: main(): drop `-dY' in favour of
          `--debug-source' to minimize changes to the backend.

Sun 27 Aug 2000 11:18 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * diffs/mkdiff: updated for egcs-20000821.

Fri 25 Aug 2000 16:50 Russ Whitaker <russ@ashlandhome.net>
                      Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * doc/faq.texi: new file

        * FAQ: now generated from doc/faq.texi

Sun 20 Aug 2000 27:12 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * config-lang.in: don't test symlinks with `-f';
          removed symlinks to patches of meanwhile-old EGCS releases

        * ../fold-const.c: int_const_binop(): unsigned values can
          overflow, too (must examine this more closely ... fjf83).

        * diffs/mkdiff: updated for ../fold-const.c.

        * gbe.h, util.h, util.c: maybe_find_function_data() is now
          always in util.c.

Tue 15 Aug 2000 30:28 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * script/make-acconfig-h.m4: new scipt

        * Make-lang.in: create rts/acconfig.h automatically from
          rts/configure.in using script/make-acconfig-h.m4

        * demos/crtscreen.c: new file

Mon 14 Aug 2000 23:15:45 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * config-lang.in: trigger on an explicitly added line, not
          on some particular patch (which might change)

        * ../stor-layout.c, ../tree.c, ../tree.h for gcc-2.8.1:
          set-related stuff changed according to patched gcc-2.95.1

        * ../dwarfout.h, ../toplev.h, ../rtl.h, ../tree.h:
          added prototypes - merged patches by Frank (12 Apr 2000)

        * diffs/mkdiff: include dwarfout.h, toplev.h, rtl.h, tree.h
          for gcc-2.8.1

        * diffs/gcc-egcs-2.91.60.diff, diffs/gcc-egcs-2.93.12.diff,
          and corresponding symlinks: removed

        * util.c: pascal_init(): initialize set-related stuff also
          for gcc-2.8.1

Sun 13 Aug 2000 21:25 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc-decl.c, gpc-lex.c: undid Peter's changes regarding the
          headers. Peter, you might want to apply my patch of
          2000-04-12 to really fix the problems instead...

Sun 13 Aug 2000 20:02 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-decl.c: #include "toplev.h" only with EGCS where it is present.
          size_volatile: variable moved here from `../stor-layout.c'.
          global_bindings_p(): use this hook to `../store_layout.c:
          variable_size()' instead of patching `../stor-layout.c'.

        * gpc-lex.c: #include "dwarfout.h" only with EGCS where it is present.

        * ../stor-layout.c: size_volatile: variable moved into
          frontend (`gpc-decl.c').
          variable_size(): do not use `size_volatile'; instead use
          `global_bindings_p()' as a hook to get the same effect
          without a patch to the backend.

Mon 7 Aug 2000 22:25:05 J. David Bryan <dbryan@bcpl.net>

        * gpc.c: process_command(): give GPC_EXEC_PREFIX precedence
          over GCC_EXEC_PREFIX.

Thu  3 Aug 2000 16:12 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * doc/install.texi: new paragraph about the libraries

Mon 24 Jul 2000 27:41 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/configure.in, rts/acconfig.h, rts/rts.h, rts/rts.c:
          massive changes in the autoconf checks, some new autoconf
          functions, a number of new tests for header declarations
          of certain functions and variables

Thu 20 Jul 2000 29:56 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * doc/*.texi: got rid of overfull boxes in the TeX version

Mon 17 Jul 2000 30:47 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * units/gmp.pas: made work with GMP 3.x

        * units/gmpc.c: new file

Wed 12 Jul 2000 26:22 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * doc/gradient.jpg: made it a two-way gradient.

Thu 6 Jul 2000 25:02 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * Make-lang.in, Make-lang-2.95.in, Make-lang-old.in: new
          variable `man1dir' to install the man page in the `man1'
          subdirectory for all versions of GCC.

Wed 5 Jul 2000 16:18 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * Alpha release of gpc-20000705.
          Announcement of the public CVS server.

Wed 5 Jul 2000 15:06 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * doc/install.texi: final corrections.

Wed 5 Jul 2000 14:25 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * config-lang.in: check and create symlinks for diffs.

Thu 4 Jul 2000 23:17 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * doc/contributors.texi: @:ified; Phil is a Prof.

        * doc/gpc.texi: moved "Support" section.

        * doc/install.texi: describe use of `sed', building the
          WWW pages, where to get GNU tools.

        * doc/support.texi: @node GPC Support: renamed to
          "Professional Support" and listed all companies we
          know which are specialized on support for GPC.

Thu 29 Jun 2000 26:08 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * doc/texinfo.tex: replace with version from texinfo-4.0

        * doc/*.texi: made work with texinfo-4.0; in particular, the
          `@unnumberedsubsec' hack in reference.texi breaks down
          completely, but I think we can use `@subheading' instead.

Tue 27 Jun 2000 23:00 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/internal.pas: RunFinalizers: new procedure; always
          compiled with debug information (rts/Makefile.in), and
          with "<implicit code>" as the file name

Mon 26 Jun 2000 28:08 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * parse.y: assignment_or_call_statement: emit line number
          information _before_ rest_of_statement.

Mon 26 Jun 2000 25:45 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * Makefile.in: test targets: moved to Make-lang.in, paths
          adjusted

Sat 24 Jun 2000 19:54 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * doc/install.texi: capitalized node names, give help in INSTALL
          file, updated notes about CygWin and mingw32.

        * parse.y: main_program_declaration: store the program's name
          in the module; name the program initializers and finalizers
          `init_pascal_main_program' and `fini_pascal_main_program'.
          omit one line note causing crashes with `-g' (fjf401.pas).
          implicit_module_destructor: suppress line number information.

        * util.c: get_main_program_name(): call the program
          `pascal_main_program' rather than `program_Foo'.

        * module.c: import_interface(); demos/gpc_c_c.c; test/gpc_c_c.c;
          units/gpc-in-c.h; util.c: output_real_main_program(),
          start_constructor(): adapted for `init_pascal_main_program'.

Mon 19 Jun 2000 11:13 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * doc/install.texi: major update to address gcc-2.95.x and CVS.

        * doc/welcome.texi: "GCC" is the "GNU Compiler Collection" now.

        * gpc-lex.c: reinit_parse_for_function(): removed function.

        * parse.y: dot_or_error: bump out in BP mode.
          main_program_declaration: use pushlevel_expand() and
          poplevel_expand(); suppress line number information
          for constructors, destructors, and the main() program.
          implicit_module_constructor: suppress line number
          information; call pushlevel() and poplevel() explicitly.

        * util.c: output_real_main_program(): suppressing line number
          information is now done in parse.y:main_program_declaration.
          finish_program_component(), pushlevel_expand(),
          poplevel_expand(): new functions.

Sun 18 Jun 2000 25:15 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * doc/gpc.1: removed out of date information about command
          line options; referred to the manual instead

Wed 14 Jun 2000 20:30 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * lang-specs.h: include version.h to get the version;
          lang-specs.h.in: file removed because it is no more needed
          this way

        * Make-lang.in: pascal.update-release: generate version.h;
          make it possible to invoke this target also from
          Make-lang.in without configuring

        * gpc_release: moved the release date as a define to
          version.h; file removed

        * version.c: changed the variables to defines, moved them to
          version.h; file removed

        * gpc.c, version.c, Make-lang.in: removed gpc_date and
          gpc_time (the release date is more important than the
          compilation date)

        * compile.cmd: removed, because it is hopelessly out of
          date. If someone wants to build GPC for EMX, and bash (or
          whatever) is still missing, they are better off starting
          from scratch...

Mon 12 Jun 2000 22:26 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * Make-lang.in: pascal.html-dist, pascal.cvsfiles: new
          targets

Sun  4 Jun 2000 25:25 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * doc/peng-screen.png: new file

Sun  4 Jun 2000 22:07 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * doc/download.html.in: integrated into install.texi; file
          removed

Sat 3 Jun 2000 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * doc/download.html.in: added information about CVS.

Fri  2 Jun 2000 30:34 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * script/find-sed: new script

Fri  2 Jun 2000 25:39 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * doc/gnu.texi: new file, contains what was in gnu.html.in,
          manifesto.texi and funding.texi before, removed the latter
          three files

        * doc/macros.texi: new file

Fri 2 Jun 2000 24:22:00 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * script/cvsupdate: improved prompting

Thu  1 Jun 2000 29:59 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * doc/about.texi: new file

        * script/check-doc: check that all demo programs are
          referenced in about.texi, and their anchors match

Wed 31 May 2000 28:12 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * script/make-homepage: new script

        * doc/home.html.in, doc/download.html.in, doc/gnu.html.in,
          doc/todo.html.in, doc/misc.html.in: new files

        * doc/texinfo.tex: add support for `@uref' with two
          arguments as well

Tue 30 May 2000 25:58 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * script/mkgpc, script/cfgpc, script/mg, script/check-doc,
          script/mkdjgppgpczip: call /bin/sh, then check for and
          invoke bash in the scripts, so they will work if bash is
          anywhere in the $PATH, not necessarily in /bin

        * Make-lang.in: avoid any `cd' before $(INSTALL), so it will
          not fail if $(INSTALL) is a relative path

        * script/crtinc2h: new script, contains what the make rule
          for units/crtc.h did before

Mon 29 May 2000 29:35 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * script/get-href: new script to get a HREF to a given node
          from HTML files generated by texi2html

Mon 29 May 2000 14:41:16 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * doc/install.texi: added notes about differences
          between gcc-2.8.x and gcc-2.95.x; added notes about
          building from a CVS checkout.

Mon 29 May 2000 11:43:43 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * script/cvsupdate: security fixes;
          commit from the correct directory.

Sun 28 May 2000 26:56 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * script/dvi-reorder: new script: move the table of contents
          in a DVI file generated by texi2dvi to the beginning

        * doc/todo.texi: new file: GPC To-Do list integrated into
          the manual.

        * doc/*.texi: removed `@cindex foo' and `@cindex bar'

        * doc/*.texi (except programming.texi): unindented
          `@example's

        * doc/internals.texi: added `internals' to all `@cindex'
          entries

        * doc/gpc-source.texi: renamed to internals.texi

        * doc/gpc.texi: removed the USING and INTERNAL conditionals
          -- the affected internal parts (12 pages of ~ 400 pages
          total) does not seem to justify the separation, in
          contrast to GCC

Sun 28 May 2000 21:38 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * script/cvsupdate: do not update files to be removed.

Sun 28 May 2000 20:20:20 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * doc/install.texi: corrected Bison output file names.

        * script/cvsupdate: new script.

Sat 27 May 2000 30:14 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * doc/reference.texi: the `@unnumberedsubsec' hack doesn't
          work in texi2html. Work around it for now.

        * doc/programming.texi: texi2html doesn't like ``'' in
          section names. Removed them or changed them to Texinfo
          operators.

        * doc/contributors.texi: merged with team.html from the GPC
          home page

        * script/check-reference-doc: added more checks; renamed to
          check-doc. This is meant to become the automatic "test
          suite" for GPC's documentation.

        * Make-lang.in: pascal.install-doc: install the
          demo programs extracted from GPC's documentation in
          <prefix>/doc/gpc/docdemos (by default)

        * script/extract-doc-demos: new script to extract the demo
          programs from GPC's documentation

        * script/pas2texi: new script, contains what the make rule
          for doc/gpcpas.texi did before, but does some nicer
          formatting

Sat 27 May 2000 21:25 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * doc/file-layout.texi: moved into gpc-source.texi as a
          section; file removed

        * Make-lang.in: avoided `mkdir -p'; new target pascal.dist;
          create doc/version.texi from gpc_release

        * script/mkdir-p: new script to replace `mkdir -p' which is
          not supported on all systems

Sat 27 May 2000 17:38 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * doc/gpc.texi: put in the equivalent of `\sloppy' in
          `@iftex'

        * doc/copying.texi, doc/manifesto.texi, doc/funding.texi:
          turned to appendices

Fri 26 May 2000 28:31 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * doc/texinfo.tex: add support for `@uref' and `@email'

        * Make-lang.in: create test/README from doc/support.texi

        * test/README: texified, moved into doc/support.texi

Fri 26 May 2000 27:20 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * doc/Gnu+Pascal.png, doc/Gnu+Pascal-small.jpg,
          doc/Gnu+Pascal-small-framed.jpg, doc/gradient.jpg,
          doc/crtdemo.png, doc/crtdemo-small.jpg,
          doc/rhide-screen.png, doc/rhide-screen-small.jpg:
          new files

Fri 26 May 2000 26:41 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/*, units/*: changed the license from LGPL + exception
          to GPL + exception

        * COPYING.LIB: removed

Fri 26 May 2000 23:46 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * Make-lang.in: create COPYING from doc/copying.texi

        * doc/install.texi, doc/news.texi, doc/contributors.texi:
          added notes to the top of the generated files INSTALL,
          NEWS and AUTHORS, stating that the files were generated
          automatically

        * Make-lang.in: create AUTHORS from doc/contributors.texi

        * AUTHORS: merged with doc/contributors.texi

        * doc/gpc.texi: include news.texi

        * Make-lang.in: create NEWS from doc/news.texi

        * NEWS: texified, now doc/news.texi

        * doc/support.texi, doc/welcome.texi: s/@url/@uref/, so the
          URLs appear as hyperlinks in the HTML version

        * script/lang-options2texi: new file

        * Make-lang.in: create doc/lang-options.texi from
          lang-options.h

        * doc/invoke.texi: removed the GCC options. Instead point to
          the corresponding node in the GCC documentation. Wrote an
          overview about GPC's most commonly used options. Include
          lang-options.texi to get the descriptions in
          lang-options.h into the documentation

Thu 25 May 2000 22:23 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * doc/extend.texi, doc/borland2ep.texi: contents moved to
          keywords.texi, programming.texi (merged with the existing
          sections where appropriate), reference.texi and
          bpqstart.texi; files removed

        * doc/TODO: removed -- the items described there have either
          been done already or do not appear reasonable anymore
          (like documenting the various dialects themselves -- this
          is not our job in a compiler documentation; instead we
          document the features in programming.texi and
          reference.texi)

        * doc/gnu.texi: renamed to manifesto.texi

        * doc/*.texi (except texinfo.texi, copying.texi and
          install.texi): s/smallexample/example/

Thu 25 May 2000 21:03 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * demos/endiandemo.pas: new file

Thu 25 May 2000 20:18 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * doc/reference.texi, doc/programming.texi: made the
          necessary changes to make the cross-references from
          keyword.texi work

        * gpc.gperf: added cross-references (for keyword.texi)

Thu 25 May 2000 17:55 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/rts.h: define _GNU_SOURCE to tell GNU libc headers to
          make some extensions available

Wed 24 May 2000 26:12 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * doc/bugs.texi: moved the known bugs to the To-Do list, the
          bug reporting information to support.texi and the
          debugging notes to programming.texi; file removed

        * doc/builtin.texi: removed, since the same information is
          already there in reference.texi

        * doc/notes.texi, doc/sets.texi: information converted to
          source code comments where appropriate (that's where it's
          more likely to be found when relevant); files removed

        * doc/pvs.texi: removed -- the bugs found by the PVS test
          suite have long been integrated into GPC's own test suite
          (and mostly fixed by now)

Wed 24 May 2000 24:02 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * doc/*.texi: put a comment at the start of each file,
          stating the copyright, authors, date of last modification
          (where known) and a rudimentary status information (under
          construction .. up to date); removed some paragraphs which
          were commented out long time ago and are not relevant
          anymore

Wed 24 May 2000 21:17 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/rts.c, rts/internal.pas, rts/math.pas, rts.c: replaced
          the `_pp_' prefix in the asmnames of the LongReal
          mathematical functions by `_p_l_'

Wed 24 May 2000 15:47 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * doc/programming.texi: added a section about endianness

        * doc/bpqstart.texi: updated completely, added a section
          about incompatibilites between GPC and BP

Tue 23 May 2000 26:52 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * script/gperf2texi: new file

        * gpc.gperf: added the comments from doc/keywords.texi,
          wrote comments for the keywords not yet commented

        * Make-lang.in: create doc/keyword.texi from gpc.gperf

        * doc/keywords.texi: removed the keyword table; include
          keyword.texi instead

Tue 23 May 2000 24:35 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/configure.in: check for libos-hacks.a

        * rts/gpc.pas: link libos-hacks.a if present

        * Make-lang.in: pascal.install-units: install rts-config.inc

Tue 23 May 2000 24:00 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * FAQ: replaced by the updated version by Russ Whitaker

        * doc/lookfeel.texi: removed (obsolete AFAIK)

Tue 23 May 2000 20:59 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/read.c: _p_read_boolean(), _p_read_enum(): new
          functions

        * rts/write.c: _p_write_enum(): new function

Tue 23 May 2000 19:48 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * doc/contributors.texi: synchronized the first part with
          AUTHORS

        * doc/file-layout.texi: texified

        * doc/gpc.texi: include file-layout.texi

Mon 22 May 2000 29:44 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * doc/*.texi: updated a little

Mon 22 May 2000 17:15 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * script/gpcdiff.exclude: included (i.e. excluded;-) `configure'.

Sun 21 May 2000 27:00 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * parse.y: function_declaration: no need to check `result'.

        * types.c: build_pascal_string_schema(): string types
          must be always permanent nodes (strptr4.pas).
          p_grokfields(): complain about IDENTIFIER_NODEs
          (rather than crash).

Sat 20 May 2000 24:17 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * various places: check the result of fopen() and give
          proper error messages

        * gpcpp.c: Wall-ified; do_include(): really fixed the
          multiple `-I' problem (ian4.pas) by setting fname to "."
          rather than 0 if the current file name does not contain a
          directory. Otherwise, it would cause segfaults with the
          `-remap' option (which is given by default under Cygwin).
          The root of the problem was that the code in do_include()
          comes from GCC-2.7.2.1 or older while remap_include_file()
          comes from GCC-2.8.1 (cf. Jan-Jaap's entry of Jul 20 1998)
          and does not expect 0 as the argument.

        * ChangeLog: corrected function name in Peter's entry of
          25 Feb 1999; put entries of 20 and 21 Jul 1998 in order

Wed 17 May 2000 20:56 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * types.c: include stdlib.h to declare free()

Tue 16 May 2000 25:50 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * rts/gpc.pas, rts/heap.pas, rts/internal.pas, rts/sets.pas,
          rts/string.pas: do not let overflow type declarations.

Tue 16 May 2000 25:25 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * util.c, rts/types.h, rts/gpc.pas, rts/bind.c,
          doc/extend.texi, doc/reference.texi: new field Device in
          BindingType

Mon 15 May 2000 25:37 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-decl.c: resolve_forward_pointer(), handle_forward_pointers():
          removed the "very silly" problem by tagging the pointer instead
          of the type pointed to (gp).

        * objects.c: push_self_parameter(): tag the pointer instead of
          the object.
          check_method_parameters(): new function (metparm*.pas)

        * parse.y: typename, optional_par_formal_parameter_list,
          formal_parameter: do not tag unknown types of formal
          parameters; let handle_formal_param_list() tag the
          reference instead.
          new_identifier_1: included `LEX_STATIC' and `LEX_VOLATILE'.
          constant_definition: handle variable directives.

        * types.c: build_pascal_pointer_type(): tag the pointer ...

        * util.c: handle_formal_param_list(): tag the pointer ...

Sun 7 May 2000 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-decl.c: lookup_label(): initialize the label only
          once (knuth3.pas)

Fri  5 May 2000 25:06 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc-typeck.c: build_binary_op(): also handle
          CEIL_DIV_EXPR, FLOOR_DIV_EXPR, ROUND_DIV_EXPR and
          EXACT_DIV_EXPR: they (or some of them) are used internally
          for size computations

Fri 5 May 2000 19:28 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-typeck.c: build_binary_op(): handle TRUNC_DIV_EXPR
          the Pascal, not the C way.

        * util.c: init_simple(): type-check the parameters of _p_initfdr.

Sat 29 Apr 2000 13:02:41 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-lex.c: yylex(): special treatment of LEX_PROTECTED
          (reactivated), LEX_VALUE, LEX_STATIC, LEX_VIEW, and LEX_INLINE
          (chief34*.pas).

        * module.c: only seek to end_of_header when appropriate.

        * parse.y: record_type: do not try to disable LEX_VALUE etc.
          This only leads to s/r conflicts but does not work.

Sun 23 Apr 2000 19:38 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * Make-lang-2.95.in, Makefile-2.95.in: merged changes by Frank.

Sun 23 Apr 2000 16:48 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * objects.c: check_method_parameters(): new function.

        * parse.y: object_type: check formal parameters of methods against
          object fields and methods (metparm*.pas).

Sat 22 Apr 2000 28:00 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-decl.c: declare_label(): new parameter syntax for declare_vars().
          init_decl_processing(): initialize asmname_id.

        * gpc.gperf: new reserved words `asmname' and `attribute'.

          handle_pending_decls(): function removed.
          module_must_be_recompiled(): preparing for doing the correct checks.
          load_tree(): (1) preparing for a new handling of variable
          declarations which does not re-use parts of the C _front_end any
          more; (2) use new parameter syntax of declare_vars().
          gpi_open(): only mclose() and re-open the GPI file when necessary.
          import_interface(): store the unit file name in the interface node,
          preparing for doing the correct checks in
          module_must_be_recompiled().

        * objects.c: construct_vmt(): new parameter syntax for declare_vars().

        * parse.y: changed built-in identifiers D_ASMNAME and
          D_ATTRIBUTE to reserved words LEX_ASMNAME and LEX_ATTRIBUTE.
          constant_definition: new parameter syntax for declare_vars().
          record_type: trying to switch off LEX_ASMNAME etc., but this is not
          early enough :-(chief34*.pas).
          variable_declaration_part: moved semi to variable_declaration_list.
          variable_declaration_list: moved semis to variable_declaration.
          variable_declaration: `asmname' and `attribute' are reserved words
          now; handle closing semi here to avoid s/r conflicts; new handling
          of storage qualifiers (flags rather than identifier nodes) and
          variable directives; new parameter syntax for declare_vars().
          optional_qualifier_list: renamed to optional_storage_qualifier_list.
          optional_storage_qualifier_list, storage_qualifier: new handling of
          storage qualifiers.
          optional_variable_directive_list, variable_directive_list,
          variable_directive: new rules.
          enable_directives: new rule to avoid s/r conflicts.
          function_declaration: use enable_directives.
          directive: D_ASMNAME and D_ATTRIBUTES are now LEX_ASMNAME and
          LEX_ATTRIBUTES.
          rest_of_unit, rest_of_module: no more pending decls.
          function_interface_decl: enable/disable new keywords; no more
          pending decls.
          implicit_module_destructor: destructors do not need to be exported.

        * rts/error.pas, rts/filename.pas, rts/getopt.pas, rts/gpc.pas,
          rts/heap.pas, rts/init.pas, rts/internal.pas, rts/numtodec.pas,
          rts/random.pas, rts/string.pas, rts/string2.pas: new syntax for
          `external' and `asmname' variables.

        * rts.c: rts_call(), build_rts_call(), get_builtin_variable(): new
          parameter syntax for declare_vars().

        * script/gpcdiff: new file.

        * test/abso1.pas, test/asmnames.pas, test/fjf140u.pas,
          test/fjf245.pas, test/fjf245a.pas, test/fjf273.pas,
          test/fjf431u.pas, test/gpc_c_p.pas, test/ian3.pas,
          test/orland2.pas, test/orland2u.pas, test/sam5.pas,
          test/sam5m.pas: new syntax for `external' and `asmname'
          variables.

        * util.c: asmname_id: new variable.
          extract_attributes(): preparing to remove this function with new
          handling of variable declarations.
          declare_vars(): (1) changed parameter syntax; (2) preparing to
          get rid of parts of the C _front_end which are still used when
          declaring Pascal variables. `asmname' does not imply `external'
          any more. Pending decls have been removed, too, as there is no
          (more?) reason not to output them to the object file this early
          in the interface part.
          handle_formal_param_list(): do not crash on errorneous read-only
          parameters.
          KItable[]: removed D_ASMNAME and D_ATTRIBUTE.
          start_constructor(): new parameter syntax for declare_vars().

Sat 22 Apr 2000 25:07 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/rts.c: _p_sigaction(): ported to work with
          sigaction() or signal() besides sigvec()

        * rts/configure.in: `--with-bsdrts' switch removed;
          disabled the RTS signal handlers completely because GPC
          wastes too much stack in string operations for them to
          work

Sat 22 Apr 2000 19:25 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/rts.h, rts/rts.c, rts/file.c: protect all included
          headers with autoconf tests (except "varargs.h" which is
          to be phased out)

        * gpc-decl.c: start_function(): don't warn about the third
          argument to `main'

Sat 22 Apr 2000 14:27 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/rts.c: _p_pid: turned into a function;
          _p_update_pid(): removed

Fri 21 Apr 2000 28:38 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/rt0.c: _p_signal, _p_sigcause: removed; remaining code
          moved to rts/file.c, rts/rts.c and rts/error.pas where it
          fits better; file removed; _p_init_signals(): turned into
          the unit constructor of rts/error.pas

Fri 21 Apr 2000 26:10 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/init.pas: GPC_Initialize: use all other RTS units
          (except gpc.pas which is only ths interface to programs),
          and call this unit's constructor explicitly, so RTS units'
          constructors are now executed

        * rts/heap.pas: HeapInit: turned into the unit constructor
          of rts/heap.pas

Thu 20 Apr 2000 30:34 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * module.c: do_extra_import(): fixed 2 off-by-one errors
          (fjf101[ab].pas)

Thu 20 Apr 2000 25:57 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc-lex.c: removed ignore_escape_flag: it seems to have
          been a misfeature. It should accept `\' in file names in
          line directives (e.g. under DJGPP), but the preprocessor
          already doubles them, so ignore_escape_flag caused the
          file names to be wrong

        * module.c: module_must_be_recompiled(): touch dep_filename
          after choosing the name, so it won't be chosen as the name
          for another temp file

        * gpc.c: init_automake_temp_file_name(): check for
          `--amtmpfile' as given by module.c

Sat 15 Apr 2000 24:35 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/init.pas: GPC_Init_Arguments: the first argument must
          now be `--gpc-rts' instead of `-Grts'

Sat 15 Apr 2000 13:38 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * util.c: declare_known_ids(): removed `__void__',
          `__cstring__'

Fri 14 Apr 2000 25:33 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/configure.in, rts/acconfig.h: check whether
          __builtin_return_address supports a non-zero argument

        * rts/Makefile.in: create rts-config.inc from rts-config.h

        * rts/error.pas: don't call ReturnAddress with a non-zero
          argument unless supported

Thu 13 Apr 2000 26:00 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/init.pas: GPC_Init_Arguments: allow multiple `-Grts'
          arguments and long options; new options `--version',
          `--error-file', `--error-fd'

Thu 13 Apr 2000 24:34 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc-options.h: add `-fno-macros' in `--borland-pascal' and
          `--delphi' modes and `-fmacros' in `--gnu-pascal' mode
          (dialec[36].pas)

Thu 13 Apr 2000 10:58 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-common.c: decl_attributes(): initialize some local
          variables like it is done in ../c-common.c.

        * gpc-decl.c: field_decl_cmp(): `#ifdef'ed out currently
          unused routine.  (When re-organizing tree nodes, this
          one might become interesting again.)

        * gpc-typeck.c: comptypes(): set attrval to zero, thus
          indicating that different type attributes do not matter here.
          re_layout_type(), build_modify_expr():
          removed superfluous local variables.
          constructor_implicit, constructor_result:
          removed superfluous global variables.
          (See also ../c-typeck.c from gcc-2.95.1.)

Wed 12 Apr 2000 29:10 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * test/README: added a few words about how to report bugs

        * Make-lang.in: pascal.install-doc: install test/README as
          BUGS

Wed 12 Apr 2000 26:32 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/error.pas: RuntimeError, RuntimeErrorInteger,
          RuntimeErrorCString, InternalError, InternalErrorInteger,
          GPC_RunError: set ErrorAddr to a meaningful value on a
          runtime error; SetReturnAddress, RestoreReturnAddress: new
          procedures; called from vrious places in rts/*, units/*
          where necessary; FinishErrorMessage: print the address of
          a runtime error to help debugging (using addr2line)

Wed 12 Apr 2000 17:44 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc-common.c, gpc-convert.c, gpc-decl.c, lang.c,
          gpc-lex.c, gpc-typeck.c: Wall-ified (only a few warnings
          remaining, fixed by Peter's patch tomorrow ;-)

Wed 12 Apr 2000 14:48 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * AUTHORS: updated

        * Make-lang.in: pascal.install-demos: renamed to
          pascal.install-doc, install also README, FAQ, AUTHORS,
          NEWS, COPYING, COPYING.LIB; several rules: removed the
          `case "$(LANGUAGES)" in *[Pp]ascal*)' parts because the
          rules should not be used unless building Pascal, anyway

Tue 11 Apr 2000 22:08 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpcpp.c, gpc-lex.c: implemented `{$local}' and
          `{$endlocal}' (fjf430*.pas)

Mon 10 Apr 2000 25:00 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * Make*.in: updated copyright notice.
          Make*-2.95.in: copied changes by Frank.

        * doc/gpc.1: moved to . (or better leave it there and
          adapt the Makefiles?)

        * gpc-decl.c: c_decode_option(): corrected typo in
          EGCS-specific code.

        * gpc.c: process_command(): record `-M*' switches, so
          output files do not get EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX with it.

        * module.c: module_must_be_recompiled(): it is an
          internal error when a dependency file could not be
          opened.

        * parse.y: most rules: fixed indentation and some comments.
          gpc_RETURNADDRESS, gpc_FRAMEADDRESS: new tokens.
          new_identifier_1: updated.
          variant_selector: disabled error checking rule that caused
          four reduce/reduce conflicts with Borland-style initializers.
          variable_or_function_access_no_id: implemented
          gpc_RETURNADDRESS and gpc_FRAMEADDRESS in analogy to
          type casts and other almost-functions.  (Another place
          would be rts.c:build_rts_call().  This should be unified.
          Maybe gpc-decl.c:init_decl_processing() allows for even
          simpler introduction of magic functions.)
          iso_initializer_expression: use new_identifier instead of
          directive_or_initializer which is too weak (fjf423.pas);
          use LEX_INTCST instead of number to avoid reduce/reduce
          conflicts.  (The clean way to implement this will be an
          implicit `with' and allowing for arbitrary expressions.)

        * util.c: KItable[]: Returnaddress, Frameaddress.

Sun  9 Apr 2000 23:20 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * script: new directory, containing some scripts used during
          the GPC installation and some scripts used by the GPC
          maintainers

Sun  9 Apr 2000 22:42 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc-lang.c: renamed to lang.c

        * gpc-lang.h: renamed to lang.h

        * gpc-nodes.def: renamed to nodes.def

        * gpc-cccp.c: renamed to gpcpp.c

        * Makefile.in, Make-lang.in: adjusted accordingly,
          executable gpc-cpp renamed to gpcpp

        * gpc-defs.c: GNU_PASCAL_HACK, B_D_GH_PASCAL: removed
          (obsolete)

Sun  9 Apr 2000 15:44 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc-cccp.c: check_negative_option(): new function;
          do_ifopt(): handle `ifopt' really (fjf426*.pas)

Sat  8 Apr 2000 17:21 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * util.c.: pascal_init_options(): moved to gpc-decl.c, call
          c_decode_option() for all default options stored in
          gpc-options.h

Fri  7 Apr 2000 25:24 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * Make-lang.in: build gpcpas.texi in $(srcdir)/p/doc rather
          than p/doc; fixed rule for gpc.dvi; new target gpc.ps

Fri  7 Apr 2000 23:58 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * parse.y: moved the sign from any_term to primary to allow
          expressions like `-2 * +3' like BP does (but in `-2 ** 3'
          the sign still applies to the result of the power
          operator, not the left operand, and a sign after `**' is
          still not allowed, like the standard requires);
          signed_factor: new symbol to allow signs after `not';
          multiplying_operator: replace FLOOR_MOD_EXPR by
          TRUNC_MOD_EXPR (consistent with TRUNC_DIV_EXPR and with
          BP's behaviour)

Fri  7 Apr 2000 17:39 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * Makefile.in: removed obsolete GCC diff and dejagnu stuff

        * gpc-options.h: new file, commonly used by gpc-lex.c and
          gpc-cccp.c

        * gpc-lex.c, gpc-cccp.c: made single-letter compiler
          directives BP compatible

Thu  6 Apr 2000 14:44 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc-cccp.c: eval_if_expression: accept `not', `and', `or',
          `=', `<>', etc. for `!', `&&', `||', `==', `!=', etc. in
          Pascal mode (fjf428.pas)

Wed  5 Apr 2000 19:40 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc-cccp.c: renamed options like `-no-nested-comments' to
          `-fno-nested-comments' etc.

        * lang-specs.h.in: pass all -f* options to gpc-cccp.c

        * gpc-cccp.c, lang-options.h: new option `-f[no-]macros'

        * Makefile.in: added another missing dependency

Tue  4 Apr 2000 23:13 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * test/test_summary: renamed to test_sum so it can be found
          on limited file systems

Sun 2 Apr 2000 25:14 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc-cccp.c: renamed options like `-nonestedcomments' to
          `-no-nested-comments' etc. to make them easier to process
          as directives

Sun 2 Apr 2000 18:18 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-decl.c: c_decode_option(): handle -W[no-]field-name-problem.

        * gpc-typeck.c: check_pascal_initializer(): make the warning about
          ignored field names optional.

        * lang-options.h: new options -W[no-]field-name-problem

        * util.c: warn_field_name_problem: new variable.

Sat 1 Apr 2000 25:31 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * doc/gpc.1, doc/texinfo.tex: removed RCS magic.

Sat 1 Apr 2000 16:28 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-typeck.c: build_modify_expr(): don't crash on
          CONST_DECLs as lvalues: gcc-2.8.x-ified.

Sat 1 Apr 2000 13:58 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * module.c: new_interface_table(): scan whether the
          interface is already registered.  Without this, some
          entries get lost, others get duplicated, etc.

        * util.c: start_constructor(): better cooperation with
          itab_get_module_name().

Fri 31 Mar 2000 23:17 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc-cccp.c:-(way too many places)-: handle mixed and
          nested comments; handle_pascal_directive(): allow comments
          in a Pascal directive if nested comments are enabled;
          gpc-lex.c: handle mixed and nested comments (mixcom*.pas,
          nest*.pas)

Thu 30 Mar 2000 26:27 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/file.c: _p_fdrchain(): simplified; removed
          _p_last_fdr; made _p_first_fdr an external list (i.e., not
          using fields of struct Fdr) so problems with Fdrs will not
          lead to crashes when the RTS accesses the list

Thu 30 Mar 2000 18:46 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-decl.c: c_decode_option(): check the argument of
          `--gpc-main' for invalid characters.

Wed 29 Mar 2000 21:25 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/file.c: _p_internal_blockwrite(): don't abort writing
          on EINTR

Wed 29 Mar 2000 21.18 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc-cccp.c: handle_pascal_directive(): fixed some static
          buffer problems (fjf141.pas)

        * gpc-lex.c: skip_white_space(), process_directive():
          likewise (fjf141.pas -- now really)

        * objects.c: call_method(): likewise (fjf89.pas)

        * module.c: load_gpm_file(): likewise (could not write a
          test program since a GPI file name > 255 chars would also
          overflow most file systems' limits)

        * module.c: module_must_be_recompiled(): likewise

        * module.c: various other places: likewise, changed the
          parameters and return type of load_string()

        * util.c: get_unique_identifier(): no buffer overflow
          problem here, but added some comments to prevent future
          changes from introducing one

Tue 28 Mar 2000 28:14 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc-cccp.c: fixed some logic errors concerning
          no_charescape; IS_COMMENT_START: new macro to handle `//'
          comments correctly in Pascal (Delphi); no_nested_comments:
          renamed to mixed_comments

Mon 27 Mar 2000 31:09 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * units/gpc-in-c.h, demos/gpc_c_c.c, demos/gpc_c_pas.pas,
          demos/gpc_c_unit.pas: new files

Mon 27 Mar 2000 29:29 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc-typeck.c: build_modify_expr(): undid Peter's patch
          because it doesn't compile (was this for gcc-2.95 only?)

Mon 27 Mar 2000 25:54 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * Make-lang-2.95.in, Makefile-2.95.in: handle gpc.gperf.

        * gpc-decl.c: grokdeclarator(): don't build CONST_DECLs here.
          We'll do that manually from now on.

        * gpc-typeck.c: build_modify_expr(): don't crash on
          CONST_DECLs as lvalues.

        * lang-specs.h: give `-nomacros' to gpc-cpp for
          --borland-pascal and --delphi.

        * module.c: struct interface_table_t: new field `module_name'.
          new_interface_table(): store the name of the module with
          the interface.
          itab_get_module_name(): new function.
          create_gpi_files(): on an internal error, just abort().
          gpi_open(): store the name of the module in the interface table.

        * objects.c: call_method(), construct_vmt(): on internal
          errors, just abort().

        * parse.y: bp_NAME: new token.
          main_program_declaration: call the constructor
          "init_Program" and the destructor "fini_Program".
          new_identifier_1: added bp_NAME.
          constant_definition: build a CONST_DECL manually rather
          than calling grokdeclarator() (through start_decl()).
          new_pointer_type: allow for an optional CONST.
          optional_const: new rule.

        * types.c: construct_set(), assign_string(),
          declared_string_capacity(): on internal errors, just abort().
          build_pascal_pointer_type(): optionally make a `const' pointer
          (callers changed).

        * util.c: output_real_main_program(): the main program's
          constructor and destructor are named `init_Program'
          and `fini_Program' now.
          KItable[]: bp_NAME.
          start_constructor(): when calling constructors and
          destructors, look up the name of the module from the
          interface table. This does not yet cover all cases!

Mon 27 Mar 2000 24:24 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc-lex.c: moved the isalnum() check to gpc-cccp.c because
          a flex based lexer will not use isalnum(), anyway. Do the
          test before redefining isalnum().

Sun 26 Mar 2000 24:47 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * util.c:KItable: removed __asmname__, __const__,
          __external__, __inline__, __static__, __volatile__,
          __byte__, __short__, __long__, __longlong__, __unsigned__

Sun 26 Mar 2000 12:45 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-typeck.c: comptypes(): kludge: do not check type
          attributes.  When forward-declared, they will be
          overridden by the definition anyway.  Can be
          re-activated when attributes are allowed in combination
          with a function body.

        * module.c: module_repair_exported_ranges(): in case of
          an internal error, just abort().

        * parse.y: copyright notice: updated.
          re-ordered reserved words and built-in identifiers a little.
          main_program_declaration: fixed wrong comment.

        * test/cstpar1.pas: `protected' is "more reserved" now.

Thu 23 Mar 2000 31:24 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * parse.y, rts.c: removed r_COLLECT which is now obsolete

        * rts/misc.c: removed the whole file (_p_collect(),
          _p_run_constructors(), _p_c_list, _p_collect_flag) which
          is now obsolete

Thu 23 Mar 2000 28:50 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc.c: init_automake_temp_file_name(): don't add `-Wl'
          options to the automake temp file

Thu 23 Mar 2000 27:21 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * ChangeLog: added a "title" line to make context diffs
          more robust.

        * parse.y:
          type_denoter: be more specific in "Integer (42)" warnings.
          main_program_declaration, module_constructor,
          implicit_module_constructor, optional_unit_constructor,
          module_destructor: do not assemble *structors specially.
          implicit_module_destructor: new rule.
          optional_unit_constructor, optional_init_and_final_part:
          consider implicit_module_destructor.

        * util.c: output_real_main_program(): call the program's
          constructor explicitly.
          start_constructor(): call other constructors and register
          our destructor.

Thu 23 Mar 2000 26:28 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * parse.y, gpc.gperf, gpc-lex, rts.c and a few other files:
          renamed all keywords and other lexical tokens with a
          `LEX_' prefix

Thu 23 Mar 2000 20:55 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * parse.y: main_program_declaration, module_constructor,
          implicit_module_constructor, optional_unit_constructor:
          instead of init_constructor() call start_constructor()
          and finish_constructor() - both within pushlevel1 and poplevel1.
          module_constructor: removed optional initialization order.
          optional_initialization_order: rule removed.

        * rts/acconfig.h, rts/configure.in, rts/rts-config.in:
          do an AutoConf test for presence of an external
          `char **environ' variable.

        * test/test_run: look for .in and .out files in $SRCDIR.

        * util.c: output_real_main_program(): removed WINE
          workaround; we are going to use `char **environ' in
          the future.
          init_constructor(): removed.
          start_constructor(), finish_constructor(): new functions.

Thu 23 Mar 2000 17:14 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts.c: phased out the last occurences of `ASSERT'

        * assert_.h: removed `ASSERT', moved last remaining macro
          into gpc-defs.h, the only place where it's included,
          removed assert_.h

Wed 22 Mar 2000 25:00 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * test/Makefile: made `summary' the default. The old target
          is available as `test'.

Sun 19 Mar 2000 28:06 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc-cccp.c: Pascalified some more warnings; rescan(),
          collect_expansion(): don't give warnings or errors about
          Borland style character constants (`#42' or `#$f0') when
          they look like an unknown preprocessor directive or macro
          argument stringification (fjf205.pas)

Wed 8 Mar 2000 20:37 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * parse.y: storage_qualifier_list: enable/disable "Const"
          keyword for `attribute (const)'.
          directive: dropped `attribute' without parentheses;
          enable/disable "Const" keyword for `attribute (const)'.

        * rts.c: rts_call(): p_HALT, bp_RUNERROR, and gpc_RUNTIME_ERROR
          are `attribute (noreturn)'.

Tue 7 Mar 2000 23:47 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/error.pas, rts/gpc.pas, rts/internal.pas, rts/rts.h:
          added `attribute noreturn' for `Halt' and the various
          runtime error routines

Mon 6 Mar 2000 26:12 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/*: changed from K&R to ANSI C declarations (except
          rts-va.c), removed the PROTO macro because the RTS is
          always compiled with GCC

        * rts/file.c, rts/randfile.c, rts/types.h, rts/rts.h,
          rts/gpc.pas: new type FileSizeType (equivalent to
          LongInt), used for file sizes and positions; supported via
          lseek64() or llseek() where available

        * util.c, rts/types.h, rts/gpc.pas, rts/bind.c,
          doc/extend.texi, doc/reference.texi: removed field Size in
          BindingType

Mon 6 Mar 2000 25:02 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * rts/aclocal.m4: new file.  Macro GPC_CHECK_TYPE to check
          for types (AC_CHECK_TYPE seems broken).

        * rts/configure.in: as an example for GPC_CHECK_TYPE, check
          for ssize_t.

        * rts/configure: rebuilt.

        * rts/rts-config.h: required template for HAVE_SSIZE_T.

Mon 6 Mar 2000 23:57 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * rts.c: build_rts_call(): case p_POSITION, p_LASTPOSITION,
          bp_FILESIZE, bp_FILEPOS: return `LongInt'; case ucsd_SEEK,
          p_SEEKUPDATE, p_SEEKREAD, p_SEEKWRITE, p_DEFINESIZE: the
          second parameter is `LongInt'.

Sat 4 Mar 2000 27:48:37 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * parse.y: main_program_declaration, module_constructor,
          implicit_module_constructor, optional_unit_constructor,
          module_destructor: do no longer try to make DEC Alpha happy. ;-)

Mon 21 Feb 2000 26:37 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-decl.c: create_boolean_type_node(): made it extern.

        * parse.y: type_denoter: allow for `Boolean (42)' (fjf395.pas).

        * util.c: declare_known_ids(): LongestBool.

Mon 21 Feb 2000 10:34 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-decl.c: declare_label(): create jmp_buf variables for
          labels in the main program (goto4.pas).
          lookup_label(): the context of the label is the main program;
          no need to kludge it to think otherwise.
          store_parm_decls(): we don't need any more most of the special
          treatment of labels in the main program.

        * parse.y: main_program_declaration: "main program RTX" has
          vanished, but call do_setjmp().

        * util.c: do_setjmp(): new function.
          output_real_main_program(): removed duplicate pushlevel().
          (Did it have some special reason???)
          generate_main_program_rtx(), init_main_program_rtx(): removed.
          expand_goto_main_program(): rewritten to use longjmp() instead
          of "main program RTX" (goto4.pas).

Sat 19 Feb 2000 10:34 Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * rts.c: build_rts_call(): string parameters to `Include' and
          `Exclude' are chars (sets13.pas).

          procedural variables (fjf258[a-c].pas).

        * parse.y:
          structured_iso_initializer, structured_borland_initializer:

          yylex(): case '^': do not call yylex() recursively, but look for
          `..' manually.  Otherwise, we would have to un-yylex() a token.
          yylex(): digits: use gpc_ungetc() instead of a static nextchar
          variable; done: --debug-source is handled in gpc_getc() now.

        * lang-specs.h.in: call the Pascal spec "Pascal" (like
          in `../gcc.c') rather than "pascal";
          get GPC version numbers from Makefile;
          do not pass C++ and a separate GPC spec;
          do not require `--amtmpfile' - AutoMake is not
          supported by the "new `gpc'" and will be replaced by
          `gp' in the future.

        * version.h: new file.

          build_buffer_ref(): init_any() the file pointer variable
          (roland1.pas).

        * parse.y: factor: accept `SizeOf' of an undiscriminated

        * rts.c: build_rts_call(): case p_EXPON: convert all parameters
          and the result to the same type which is either `Double' or
          `LongReal' (expon.pas).

Mon 8 Nov 1999  Alexandre Oliva  <oliva@lsd.ic.unicamp.br>

        * gpc-decl.c (init_decl_processing): Use set_sizetype instead of

          must be provided by the RTS.

        * ../stor-layout.c: set_words_big_endian: documented that this
          needn't be a constant, so this problem must be solved somehow
          else.

        * ../tree.def: improved the documentation of PLACEHOLDER_EXPR
          and WITH_RECORD_EXPR.

        * diffs/mkdiff: included `tree.def'.

        * test/Makefile: clean: be less aggressive.
          extraclean: new target.

        * test/m: new script (for machines whose `make' does not survive
          our Makefile).

          library function now.

        * diffs/gcc-2.95.1.diff: rebuilt.

        * parse.y: z_ABS: new token.

        * rts.c: rts[]: included z_ABS.
          build_rts_call(): call a library function for complex `abs'
          (instead of generating an ABS_EXPR which is then messed up by
          the backend)-:.

        * rts/file.c, rts/randfile.c, rts/files.pas, rts/bind.c,

          by a `Handle' field. Replaced the `AssignCFile' procedure
          by an `AssignHandle' procedure. Removed the `GetFile'

          in the parser and return the number of `pushlevel()'s.

        * parse.y: structured_variable: leave error checking to
          pascal_shadow_record_fields().

        * config-lang.in: un`bash'ified.

        * ../expr.c: store_constructor(): use set_alignment and

          BYTES_BIG_ENDIAN making this language-independent.

        * ../stor-layout.c: set_alignment: initialize it from the frontend.
          set_word_size, set_words_big_endian: new variables.
          layout_type(): calculate set size and alignment from

          `tex' directly, giving it the include path in TEXINPUTS.

        * config-lang.in: VPATH warning put back in place.
          It's still needed.
          Check für version "2.8.*" in parallel to "gcc-2.8.*".
          Don't copy `Makefile-*.in' to `Makefile.in' if the
          files already have the same contents.  This preserves
          existing symlinks.

        * ../expr.c: expand_expr(): case FIX_ROUND_EXPR: patch removed.

          gcc-2.8.x and gcc-2.95.x.

        * lang-options.h: new options `--[no-]transparent-file-names'.

        * parse.y: factor: bitwise `not' must not allow conversion of
          the operand; Boolean `not' may (fjf376.pas).
          for_statement: to increment/decrement, generate
          PLUS_EXPR/MINUS_EXPR, and do not generate "++"/"--"
          which does not work correctly with all types.

        * rts/error.pas: ErrorMessages: new error 309.

        * rts/sets.pas: TSetElement: use Bytes instead of Words :-/

          prefix all relative paths with ../../
          Use man1dir for installation of manpages.

1999-08-15  Matthias Klose  <doko@cs.tu-berlin.de>

          as built-in identifiers whose TYPE_MAIN_VARIANT is
          integer_type_node or unsigned_type_node.  We check for
          TYPE_MAIN_VARIANT instead of the type itself because built-in
          identifiers are in a local scope when introduced later through
          a directive like `(*$gnu-pascal *)'.

        * types.c: append_null_character(): if possible, store the
          address of the string in a SAVE_EXPR rather than its value.
          For variable-size strings this is a must (cstrpar1.pas).

Mon 12 Jul 1999 26:57  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * types.c: append_null_character(): store the COMPOUND_EXPR
          in a SAVE_EXPR, so it is only evaluated once (fjf302.pas).

          constructors.

        * parse.y: set_*: new tokens.

          strings and other records, and handle discriminants in
          the string capacity (fjf189.pas).

        * rts/internal.pas: VarAnyString: a pointer to the
          capacity is of type `^Cardinal'.

        * types.c: build_pascal_string_schema(): store the
          declared string capacity in TYPE_LANG_SPECIFIC (fjf189.pas).
          build_pascal_range_type(): check for ranges that are
          too big for GPC (fjf355a.pas); make the range unsigned
          if both bounds are unsigned (fjf355.pas).

          (not used currently).

          link_command_spec, translate_options(), execute(),
          process_command(), do_spec_1(), main(): integrated the
          EMX changes for GCC 2.8.1.

        * rts/file.c: S_ISFIFO(): removed for EMX with GCC 2.8.1.

Mon 25 Jan 1999 27:30  Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * util.c, rts/types.h, rts/gpc.pas, rts/bind.c,
          doc/extend.texi, doc/reference.texi: new fields User,
          Group, Mode and INode in BindingType

        * rts/file.c: _p_chmod(): new function

        * units/dos.pas: SetFAttr: use ChMod

        * units/dosc.c: file removed

Sat Jan 23 16:03:01 1999 J.J. van der Heijden <J.J.vanderHeijden@student.utwente.nl>

        * gpc.c (hack_predefines): Don't free cpp_predefines, it was never
          malloc-ed.

Fri 22 Jan 1999 22:30  Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc-lex.c: yylex (): don't warn about underscores at the
          beginning or end of an identifier or about adjacent
          underscores in --borland-pascal mode

        * rts.c: rts_read(), rts_write(): don't warn about
          reading/writing CStrings from/to text files in
          --borland-pascal mode

        * parse.y: don't warn about typed constants in
          --borland-pascal mode

        * rts/file.c: _p_f_read_tty(): handle #0 characters
          correctly (fjf318[ab].pas)

Mon 18 Jan 1999 7:30 MET             Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>
                                   Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>
          Jan-Jaap van der Heijden <J.J.vanderHeijden@student.utwente.nl>
                                    Matthias Klose <doko@cs.tu-berlin.de>
                               Nick Burrett <nick.burrett@btinternet.com>

        * Beta release of gpc-19990118.

Sun 17 Jan 1999 23:48  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc.c: init_automake_temp_file_name(): give it the extension `.gpc'.

Sun 17 Jan 1999 23:34  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * module.c: locate_interface_source(): new function.
          gpi_open(): always search for the source file; use the name
          stored in the GPI only as a last resort.

Sat 16 Jan 1999 28:20  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc.c: delete_temp_files(): delete the AutoMake temp file here
          using delete_if_ordinary().  main(): do not delete the
          AutoMake temp file here using unlink().

Sat 16 Jan 1999 23:44  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * module.c: locate_file(): use a safe `if' condition.
          module_must_be_recompiled(): check the result of fgets();
          enlarged buffer for reading lines of the `.d' file.
          gpi_open(): added paranoia checks whether the `.gpi' file name
          really contained a dot.

Sat 16 Jan 1999 16:30  Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * module.h: #undef HAVE_EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX for DJGPP,
          similarly to gpc.c, so --executable-file-name will create
          a file without extension, which can be stubified
          afterwards.

Sat 16 Jan 1999 13:44  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-lex.c: process_directive(): complain if a compilation
          fails (link8).

        * parse.y: formal_parameter: pass `const' undiscriminated schema

        * rts/file.c: _p_data_ready(): new function

        * units/pipe.pas, units/pipec.c, demos/demoproc.pas,
          demos/pipedemo.pas: new files

        * units/printer.pas: adapted accordingly

Fri 15 Jan 1999 25:35  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc.c: translate_options(), process_command(): take the
          implicit `--amtmpfile' into account when counting command-line
          arguments.
          check_amtmpfile_switch(): we are moving structs,
          not pointers (fjf203 et alii).

        * module.c: store_executable_name(): do not add
          EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX twice.
          add_automake_switches(): removed disabled obsolete code.

Fri 15 Jan 1999 23:43  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * doc/reference.texi: added extended skeleton for `NULL'.

        * gpc-decl.c: c_decode_option(): warn about `--autofoo="..."'.

        * gpc-typeck.c: build_function_call(): "init_any()" the temporary
          variable for string function return values.

        * gpc.c: init_automake_temp_file(): give `--amtmpfile=/foo/bar' first;
          ignore `-o' in the amtmpfile also if `-S' is given.
          add_automake_files(): do not remove the amtmpfile here.
          main(): process the amtmpfile only when linking;
          do remove the amtmpfile here.

        * parse.y: delphi_NULL: new token.
          new_identifier_1: updated.
          predefined_literal: process delphi_NULL.
          new_procedural_type: let `String' default to `String(255)' here, too.

        * util.c: KItable[]: new known identifier "Null".

Sun 10 Jan 1999 27:27  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc.c: add_automake_files(): realize `-o foo' in `switches'
          rather than `outfiles', so subsequent specs get a chance to
          process it.

        * module.c: store_executable_name(): pass "-o foo" rather than
          "foo\n-o" to the amtmpfile.
          gpi_open(): use the TREE_PRIVATE flag to mark implicit imports.
          import_interface(): do not let an implicit import prevent us
          from importing the same module explicitly.

Sun 10 Jan 1999 24:57  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-decl.c: c_decode_option(): removed optional parameter of
          `--autolink', `--automake', and `--autobuild'.

        * module.c: add_to_link_file_list(): discard duplicates.
          gpi_open(): do not duplicate imports; avoid too many open files;
          record modules used by the imported one in the current import list.
          import_interface(): do not allow double imports (dblimp[12]).

Sun 10 Jan 1999 15:11  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc.c: init_automake_temp_file_name(): moved the stuff to
          check for Pascal source to a separate function.
          check_amtmpfile_switch(): new function.
          add_automake_files(): delete the amtmpfile after use.
          main(): call hack_predefines() and init_automake_temp_file()
          after the specs have been read and before any user specs are
          processed; also call check_amtmpfile_switch() here.

Sun 10 Jan 1999 12:00  Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/getopt.c, rts/getopt.h: new files, copied from
          binutils-2.8.1, to avoid depending on libiberty

        * rts/pexecute.c: new file, copied from ..

        * rts/Makefile.in: compile and link getopt.c, pexecute.c
          into libgpc.a

        * units/getoptc.c: #include "getopt.h" instead of <getopt.h>

        * units/pexecute.pas, demos/pexecutedemo.pas: new files

Sat 9 Jan 1999 26:23  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc.c: automake_temp_file_name: new variable.
          find_pascal_input_basename(): removed.
          init_automake_temp_file_name(): new function; choose a temp
          file name and add an implicit `--amtmpfile' option.  This
          allows for multiple instances of the same compilation running
          simultaneously.
          init_automake_temp_file(): do not choose the name; let
          init_automake_temp_file_name() do that.  Made it `static'.
          add_automake_files(): getting the file name is now easier.
          main(): removed the disabled AUTOMAKE_GPC stuff;
          call init_automake_temp_file_name() early and
          init_automake_temp_file() as early as possible;
          removed calls to find_pascal_input_basename().

        * lang-specs.h: do not add `--amtmpfile' but trigger an error
          message if it is missing.

        * module.c: module_must_be_recompiled(): if no source file is
          found, still link the object file.

Sat 9 Jan 1999 17:55  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc.c: init_automake_temp_file(): do this if we are at top
          level even if we do not intend to link.  The amtmpfile is
          needed in this case, too, as it now contains the file name of
          the compiler and the command line options.

Sat 9 Jan 1999 12:15  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-decl.c: c_decode_option(): read the AutoMake compiler from
          the amtmpfile; check for '/' as well as for DIR_SEPARATOR.

        * gpc.c: init_automake_temp_file(): write the AutoMake compiler
          into the amtmpfile.
          main(): disabled AUTOMAKE_GPC which is no longer necessary;
          removed disabled AUTOMAKE_EXEC_PREFIX.

        * module.c: automake_gpc: new variable.
          locate_file(): do not produce double dir separators.
          module_must_be_recompiled(), compile_module(): use
          `automake_gpc' instead of `getenv ("AUTOMAKE_GPC")'.
          gpi_open(): bounce link files from GPI to GPI instead of
          writing them immediately to the amtmpfile (fjf312[ab]).

Fri 8 Jan 1999 28:42  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * module.c: process the trailer here and do an AutoMake if a
          link file is not found.
          gpi_close(): removed.
          load_gpi_file(): call fclose() instead of gpi_close().

        * test/Makefile: removed obsolete rules.

Sat Jan  9 01:21:59 1999 J.J. van der Heijden <J.J.vanderheijden@student.utwente.nl>

        * rts/times.c: change gettimeofday() usage from !HAVE_NO_TIME to
          HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY for those who have ymie() but not gettimeofday().

Fri 8 Jan 1999 16:23  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * module.c: cleaned up and/or added comments.
          create_gpi_files(): only store imported interface names from
          the interface part.  (These should be the only ones anyway,
          but we check explicitly.)
          create_gpi_files(): store a dummy zero length of the
          additional information from the implementation part, so
          loading a GPI which does not contain them will not crash.
          This happens, for instance, when an EP implementation module
          loads the GPIs of its own interface.
          extend_gpi_files(): new function.
          gpi_close(): new function.
          load_gpi_file(): cleaned up use of variables; call gpi_close().
          import_interface(): mark whether an interface was imported in
          the interface or implementation part.

        * parse.y: module_declaration: call extend_gpi_files().

Wed 6 Jan 1999 49:05  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-lex.c: process_directive(): do not add non-linker files to
          the link file list but add an `.o' file even if we have not
          found one.

Wed 6 Jan 1999 46:40  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc.c: main(): disabled AUTOMAKE_EXEC_PREFIX which is no
          longer necessary.

        * module.c: add_automake_switches(): disabled AUTOMAKE_EXEC_PREFIX
          which is no longer necessary; do not mess up with spaces
          between command line arguments.

Wed 6 Jan 1999 23:20  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-decl.c: c_decode_option(): `use unit_destination_path' and
          `object_destination_path' rather than p to initialize other
          paths (typo).

        * gpc.c: add_automake_files(): make the buffer big enough to
          hold a `gpc1' command line since `fgets()' does not skip to
          the next newline character but does stop reading.

        * module.c: locate_file(): cut a leading directory.
          locate_file(), store_executable_name(), compile_module(),
          create_gpi_files(): check for '/' as well as for DIR_SEPARATOR.
          module_must_be_recompiled(): add link files to the list
          instead of writing them directly to the automake temp file.
          compile_module(): search for object files in `object_path', too.
          gpi_open(): do not try to recompile with `--autolink'.
          import_interface(): call `fatal()' and not only `error()' if
          an interface could not be imported.

Wed 6 Jan 1999 16:30  Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc-cccp.c: always check DIR_SEPARATOR besides '/' (was
          missing in several places)

Sun 3 Jan 1999 27:00  Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/Makefile.in: GPC_FLAGS: we do not need any more to
          pass all flags a second time after `--automake='.

        * doc/invoke.texi, doc/bpqstart.texi, Makefile.in, some
          other files: the same

Sat 2 Jan 1999 24:32  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-decl.c: c_decode_option(): when processing `--amtmpfile',
          extract the `gpc' command line from the automake temp file and
          use it to initialize the automake GPC options.

        * gpc-lex.c: process_directive(): let add_to_link_file_list() do
          the whole work with link files.

        * gpc.c: find_pascal_input_basename(), init_automake_temp_file():
          new functions.
          main(): initialize (create) the automake temp file and store
          the command line in it; moved the stuff to find the pascal
          input basename to a separate function.

        * module.c: pending_link_files: new variable.
          find_module(): store pending_link_files (link6, link7[ab]).
          initialize_module(): new parameter `main_program' to
          initialize the module; callers changed; process link files for
          the main program.
          add_to_link_file_list(): do not assume current_module to be
          non-null; handle link file specifications in the main program, too.
          add_automake_switches(): distinguish the AutoFoos; do not give
          the automake options after `--autofoo='.
          module_must_be_recompiled(): added space after "#compiling:";
          use fgets() instead of fscanf().
          compile_module(): added space after "#compiling:";

        * parse.y: main_program_declaration: let initialize_module()
          initialize current_module->main_program.

        * test/Makefile: PFLAGS: we do not need any more to pass all
          flags a second time after `--automake='. :-)

Fri 1 Jan 1999 26:09  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * ../Makefile.in for GCC2: use $(exeext) (applied patch from Frank).

        * diffs/gcc-2.8.1.diff: rebuilt.

        * gpc-decl.c: c_decode_option():
          implemented --[no-]object-destination-path.

        * lang-options.h: --[no-]object-destination-path: new options.

        * module.c: flag_automake: default is `--autolink'.
          compile_module: accept an additional parameter `destination_path'
          instead of using `unit_destination_path' always; callers changed.

        * util.c: object_destination_path: new variable.

Wed 30 Dec 1998 30:00  Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * test/Makefile: pass the path of the source file as a
          command line parameter to the executables, so they can
          read them, even if testing from another directory (e.g.
          fjf193.pas)

        * test/sven16.pas, test/params.pas: adapted accordingly

Wed 30 Dec 1998 27:15  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-decl.c: c_decode_option(): implemented `--no-executable-path'
          and `--no-unit-destination-path'.

        * lang-options.h: new options `--no-executable-path' and
          `--no-unit-destination-path'.

        * module.c: gpi_open(): produce an error message if a nonexisting
          object file is going to be linked.

        * parse.y: standard_function_statement: p_DISPOSE: create
          a temporary variable to hold the pointer to the object being
          disposed which is evaluated twice (miguel1).

        * types.c: convert_type_to_range(): do not destroy an integer
          subrange type when a subrange of another type of the same size
          is being used as an array index (ross1).

Wed 30 Dec 1998 13:40  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-typeck.c: convert_arguments(): undid the changes from 28 Dec:
          Always take the address of objects passed to CString parameters;
          do not reject "strange" constructs here (fjf306).

Mon 28 Dec 1998 26:07  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * module.c: store_executable_name(): strip a path from the input
          file name before applying executable_path.

Mon 28 Dec 1998 25:40  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * Make-lang.in: GPC_FLAGS_TO_PASS: unsuccessfully trying to make
          this file work both with GCC2/EGCS91 and with EGCS92. :-(

        * gpc-decl.c: c_decode_option(): append `unit_destination_path'
          to `object_path' also.

        * gpc-typeck.c: convert_arguments(): something goes wrong when
          the result of a string function is passed as a CString
          parameter :-(fjf302).

        * module.c: compile_module(): pass `--gpi-destination-path' only
          to Pascal compilations.
          create_gpi_files(): don't crash, but generate a fatal error
          if the GPI file cannot be opened for writing.

        * types.c: append_null_character(): unsuccessfully trying to
          make this more robust with respect to functions returning
          strings: return a `tree' rather than void; callers changed.

Sun 27 Dec 1998 29:00  Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * demos/factorial.pas, demos/power.pas, demos/pi.pas: new
          files

Sun 27 Dec 1998 13:28  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-lex.c: process_directive(): make `--autobuild' work for
          non-Pascal sources, too.

        * module.c: add_automake_switches(): fixed wrong treatment of `-dY'.

Sun 27 Dec 1998 12:06  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-decl.c: c_decode_option(): append DIR_SEPARATOR
          to `-fexecutable-path', `-funit-destination-path',
          and `-fgpi-destination-path'.

        * gpc.c: explicit_output_file: new variable.
          process_command(): note whether we have an explicit `-o'.
          add_automake_files(): don't process an implicit `-o' switch
          if an explicit one is present.

        * module.c: store_executable_name(): use executable_path.
          compile_module(): do not add DIR_SEPARATOR to
          unit_destination_path; c_decode_option() already did so.
          create_gpi_files(): use gpi_destination_path.

Sat 26 Dec 1998 24:15  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-decl.c: c_decode_option(): handle `-fexecutable-path',
          `-funit-destination-path', and `-fgpi-destination-path'.

        * gpc-lex.c: process_directive(): filter `-fgpi-destination-path'.

Fri 25 Dec 1998 26:04  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-cccp.c: base_name(): skip the drive name under EMX, too.
          This looks like an obvious omission.

        * gpc-common.c: build_pascal_binary_op(): do not take subranges
          of `char' for strings (chars2).

        * gpc-lex.c: process_directive(): reject path specifications (upath2);
          add link files to the automake temp file only in the main program
          but store them in memory (and later in the GPI file) in units.

        * gpc.c: hack_predefines(): corrected comment.

        * module.c: add_to_link_file_list(): new function.
          create_gpi_files(): store the names of files to be linked in

        * rts/read.c: _p_read(), rts/string.c: _p_readstr():
          moved both functions into rts/read.c, let them use the
          same code (instead of two copies of the same code),
          reorganized the subroutines, merged rts/rdinc.c and
          rts/rdsub.c into rts/read.c

        * rts/block.c: _p_blockread(), _p_blockwrite(): moved into

        * rts/write.c: _p_write(), rts/string.c: _p_writestr():
          moved both functions into rts/write.c, let them use the
          same code (instead of two copies of the same code),
          reorganized the subroutines, merged rts/wrtinc.c into
          rts/write.c

        * rts/hdr.h: merged into rts/rts.h because it was only
          included from there, and some `extern' declarations were
          in rts/rts.h already, anyway

        * rts.c, rts.h, util.c, gpc-defs.h, rts/file.c, rts/read.c,
          rts/randfile.c: removed `ifndef LAZY_IO'ed parts, because
          non-lazy I/O has not been supported for some time now,
          ignore flag_lazy_io

        * rts/dmath.c, rts/emath.c, rts/Makefile.in: removed the
          splitting of the math object files, because the gain is so
          small compared to the effort

        * rts/dmath.c: _p_pow(), rts/emath.c: _pp_pow(): translated
          into Pascal (math.pas)

        * rts/dmath.c, rts/emath.c: merged the remaining few functions
          which are merely thin wrappers around some libm functions and
          called the resulting file rts/maths.c

        * rts/wrtinc.c, rts/hdr.h, rts/dmath.c, rts/emath.c: files
          removed

Fri 18 Dec 1998 21:58  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-decl.c: init_decl_processing(): initialize register_id.
          grokdeclarator(): handle register_id.

        * module.c: add_automake_switches(): new parameter `pascal_source'
          (callers changed); filter GPC-specific options when preparing
          for compilation of non-Pascal sources (fjf203).
          module_must_be_recompiled(): when checking whether needed GPI
          files exist or have been changed, search for them in `unit_path'.

        * rts.c: build_rts_call(): case p_POLAR: the parameters are of
          `Real' type.

        * util.c: register_id: new variable.
          handle_formal_param_list(): new parameter `declspecs' to allow
          for `register' parameters and such (callers changed, but this
          is not used currently).

Thu 17 Dec 1998 28:00  Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/bind.c: hack_setinfunc(), hack_setoutfunc(): removed
          (newer TFDD interface is available)

        * rts/heap.pas: new file

        * rts/heap.c: all routines: translated into Pascal
          (heap.pas); file removed

Thu 17 Dec 1998 17:50  Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/random.pas: new file

        * rts/random.c: all routines: translated into Pascal
          (random.pas); file removed

        * rts/time.pas: new file

        * rts/times.c: most routines: translated into Pascal
          (time.pas)

Wed 16 Dec 1998 24:00  Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/sets.pas: new file

        * rts/set.c, rts/set.h: most routines: translated into
          Pascal (sets.pas), thereby simplifying them a lot; files
          removed

Tue 15 Dec 1998 26:00  Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * demos/: new directory

        * demos/getoptdemo.pas, demos/regexdemo.pas,
          demos/portdemo.pas: new files

        * Make-lang.in: pascal.install-demos: new target. Install
          demos in $(demodir) which is $(prefix)/$(DEMO_DIR).
          DEMO_DIR defaults to doc/gpc/demos, but can be overridden
          when installing; pascal.install-dir: create $(demodir) if
          necessary; pascal.units: target removed because compiling
          the units during GPC installation might not always work

        * units/Makefile: removed

Sat 12 Dec 1998 29:30  Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * units/dosunix.pas: new file

          export_interface(), import_interface(): maintain
          internal_exported_interface_list.
          module_must_be_recompiled(): use internal_exported_interface_list
          to find out whether a requested interface is in the current file;
          choose a temporary name for the dependency file.

        * rts/gpc.pas, rts/types.h: warn about `UnixTimeType' being
          hard-coded.

        * rts.c: ptype_longint: new variable.
          declare_rts_types(): initialize ptype_longint.
          build_rts_call(): case gpc_SETFILETIME: the second parameter
          is a LongInt (UnixTimeType).

Sat 12 Dec 1998 26:53  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * Make-lang.in: `gansidecl.h' and `system.h' do not really
          belong to the GPC source.

        * Makefile.in: find `gansidecl.h' in the GCC source directory.

        * config-lang.in: do not create `mbchar.c'; let the diff do that.

        * diffs/gcc-2.8.1.diff: rebuilt to include `ansidecl.h', `system.h',
          the EGCS version of `gansidecl.h', and a dummy for `mbchar.c'.

        * diffs/mkdiff: include `ansidecl.h', `gansidecl.h', `system.h',
          and `mbchar.c'.

        * gansidecl.h, system.h, rts/ansidecl.h: removed.

        * gpc-decl.c: c_decode_option(): not every NULL_PTR is a NULL_TREE ...

        * module.c: module_must_be_recompiled(), gpi_open(), load_gpi_file():
          additional parameter `interface_name' to hold an identifier node
          with the name of the interface.  Callers changed.
          module_must_be_recompiled(): strip the directory from and free the
          storage for `dep_filename'.
          store_string(), load_string(), store_flags(), load_flags(),
          store_type_flags(), load_type_flags(), store_decl_flags(),
          load_decl_flags(), gpi_open(): made the functions `static'.
          import_interface(): determine whether a module is in the
          current file from the list of exported interfaces rather than
          a file name.

Sat Dec 12 20:06:13 1998 J.J. van der Heijden <J.J.vanderHeijden@student.utwente.nl>

        * configure.in: Check for <sys/param.h>
        * rts/file.c: Only include <sys/param.h> if we have it.
        * rts/rts.h: Do not abort for lack of a libm.a on mingw32, which
          has libm.a integrated in the C library.
        * rts/rts.h: #include GCC's "tconfig.h" instead of #config.h"
          "config.h" contains host related info through auto-host.h, and
          thus breaks crosscompilers.

Sat 12 Dec 1998 17:53  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * Make-lang.in: pascal.distclean: remove `gcc-version.h' from
          the top, not the `p/' directory.

        * circle-buf.c, gpc-common.c, gpc-convert.c, gpc-decl.c,
          gpc-lang.c, gpc-lex.c, gpc-typeck.c, gpc.c, gpi-hash.c,
          module.c, objects.c, parse.y, rts.c, setop.c, types.c, util.c:
          include `gcc-version.h' as the very first header file.

        * config-lang.in: create `gcc-version.h' in the top, not the
          `p/' directory.  Otherwise it might not be found when building
          in a directory other than the source directory.

Fri 11 Dec 1998 26:20  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * Makefile.in: preprocessor: corrected directory for mbchar.o.

          lang-options.h, module.c, objects.c, parse.y, rts.c, setop.c,
          types.c, util.c: directly include `gcc-version.h'.  Including
          it through `gpc-defs.h' is too late in some cases.

        * config-lang.in: after having detected the GCC version create
          the `p' subdirectory to hold `gcc-version.h'.
          Directly check for `mbchar.[co]' rather than for a specific
          version of EGCS.

        * gpc-defs.h: do not include `gcc-version.h'.

        * gpc-typeck.c: convert_arguments(): when passing `var'
          parameters, distinguish between references of the correct type
          and others that must be treated like any other things (marius1).

        * module.c: check more carefully for a module being in the
          file being compiled (chief14 e.a.) ... er ... this is not
          sufficient if the source file is given in some strange way
          :-(gpc --automake ../test/chief14.pas).  We should really
          drop that "feature" of more than one unit/program being in
          the same file.
          compile_module(): indicate the end of an AutoMake call if
          --verbose.

        * parse.y: gpc_SETFILETIME: new token.
          new_identifier_1: updated.
          rts_proc_parlist: implemented gpc_SETFILETIME.

        * rts/gpc.pas: GPC_ified SetFileTime.

        * rts.c: rts[]: included gpc_SETFILETIME.

Fri 11 Dec 1998 27:00  Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/file.c: _p_f_flush(): put in a work-around for DJGPP's
          clobbering the file position in fflush()

        * test/Makefile: added --unit-path and --object-path,
          removed stamp-links; buglist: speeded up a little;-) by
          avoiding a loop

        * Makefile.in: check2-gpc: pass the units subdirectory of
          $builddir to test/Makefile as EXTRA_PFLAGS (upath.pas,
          fjf226i.pas when testing from $builddir)

Fri 11 Dec 1998 15:07  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * Make-lang.in: pascal.distclean: added `gcc-version.h'.

        * Make-lang.in, Makefile.in: took out is_egcs, is_egcs92, and
          the MBCHAR stuff.

        * config-lang.in: detect the GCC version and create
          `gcc-version.h' to hold the result.

        * gpc-defs.h: include `gcc-version.h'.

        * module.c: create_gpi_files(): only store the file name in the
          GPI file rather than the complete path.

Thu 10 Dec 1998 27:30  Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * units/gpcutil.pas: new file
          integrated another unit into GPC

        * rts/bind.c: _p_get_tfdd(): new function

        * rts/file.c: _p_set_file_time(): new function

          dos_setftime()

        * units/dosc.c: dos_setftime(): removed

Wed 9 Dec 1998 19:43  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * Make-lang.in: is_egcs92: automatically detect egcs-2.92.x;
          hack around `mbchar.o' only present in egcs-2.92.x.
          GPC_FLAGS_TO_PASS: only pass things which are necessary.
          gpc-cpp: hack around `mbchar.o' only present in egcs-2.92.x.

        * Makefile.in: preprocessor: hack around `mbchar.o' only present
          in egcs-2.92.x.

        * util.c: include vararg stuff.
          init_util(): use the "new" concat correctly.
          concat(): this function is extern, not static.

Wed 9 Dec 1998 15:49  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * doc/reference.texi: skeletons for `addr' and `assigned'.

        * gpc-cccp.c: do_endif(): let the buffer start at the correct
          place when skipping comments (ian2).

        * gpc-common.c: build_pascal_address_expression(): new function.

          expressions.
          variable_or_function_access_no_id: implemented bp_ADDR and
          bp_ASSIGNED (addr1, assgnd1).

1998-12-09  Matthias Klose  <doko@cs.tu-berlin.de>

        * util.h util.c: Change concat spec to this one found in gpc.c.
          concat now takes an arbitrary number of arguments, last arg
          must be NULL_PTR.
        * gpc-common.c: change concat calls to reflect change in util.[hc].
          gpc-decl.c: likewise
          gpc-lex.c: likewise
          module.c: likewise
          objects.c: likewise
          parse.y: likewise
        * Make-lang.in: Remove definitions from GPC_FLAGS_TO_PASS which

          c_build_type_variant macro from c-decl.c.
        * gpc-decl.c: c_decode_option() Reflect change in egcs-2.92
          nonlocal_goto_handler_slot.

Tue 8 Dec 1998 24:30  Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * Make-lang.in: pascal.install-units: new target, separated
          from install-libgpc; install {gpc,internal}.{o,gpi} as
          part of the compiled units, not explictly

        * units/system.pas, units/turbo3.pas: new files
          integrated more BP compatibility units into GPC

        * Make-lang.in: new target pascal.units
          cleaning rules: checked for existence of p/test before
          trying to clean in this directory
          libgpc.a: removed the dependencies on the RTS sources and
          renamed the target to pascal.rts, to avoid the redundant
          $(RTS_SRCS) in this makefile (while the RTS makefile
          already cares for the dependencies of libgpc.a), and to
          fix the bug that libgpc.a wasn't always rebuilt when
          necessary

        * rts/Make-lang.in: added --unit-path to the GPC_FLAGS and
          removed the work-around, cleaned up a little

Mon 7 Dec 1998 27:53  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-lex.c: process_directive(): clearified error message; link
          the object, not the source file (link1a).

        * module.c: module_must_be_recompiled(): search `object_path'
          for the object file (upath: do not recompile `gpc.pas').

        * setop.c: setop_rlo(): strip nops, so an INTEGER_CST is returned
          and setop_copy() does not get confused (ian1, chris5, fjf196).

Mon 7 Dec 1998 12:32  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-lex.c: process_directive(): on non-linker {$l foo.pas}, call
          locate_file() for the object file name (link[13], opath, predef,
          sam[3-5]).

Mon 7 Dec 1998 11:36  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * rts.c: build_rts_call(): case gpc_CSTRING2STRING: found a way
          to initialize `capacity' early enough to avoid a warning such
          that the test programs still work.  Hopefully, this bug is
          really fixed now ...

Sun 6 Dec 1998 26:53  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * Make-lang.in: pascal.extraclean: clean test/knownbugs/.

        * gpc-decl.c: packed_array_unsigned_long_type_node,
          packed_array_unsigned_short_type_node: new global variables.
          init_decl_processing(): initialize them.
          These types are guaranteed to be HOST_BITS_PER_WIDE_INT
          respectively half that wide.

        * types.c: build_pascal_array_ref(): use types that are
          guaranteed to be HOST_BITS_PER_WIDE_INT and half that wide;
          give `mask' that type (if it is narrower, it will mask too
          many bits) (chris4, confarr5, pack{4,5,6,10,11,12}).

Sun 6 Dec 1998 25:28  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * Make-lang.in, Makefile.in: detect EGCS and automatically add
          `-DEGCS'.  Thanks to Niels Kristian Bech Jensen <nkbj@image.dk>! (-:

        * doc/reference.texi: @node Copy: document the optional third
          parameter.

        * gpc-decl.c: c_decode_option(): implemented `--object-path'.

        * gpc-lex.c: process_directive(): also allow for (*$L foo,bar *);
          use `object_path' in (*$L foo *) directives.

        * gpc-typeck.c: build_unary_op(): clearified error message about
          an invalid lvalue for ADDR_EXPR.

        * lang-options.h: new option `--object-path' (opath).

        * module.c: object_path: new variable.
          locate_file(): this function is no longer static.

        * rts.c: rts_string(): corrected misleading comment about `ucsd_COPY';
          do not let the return value of `Copy', `SubStr', or `Trim' be
          an lvalue (fjf298b).
          build_rts_call(): case gpc_CSTRING2STRING: for the moment, try
          it with a fixed length of the result variable. :-(
          build_rts_call(): case gpc_CSTRING2STRING, bp_PARAMSTR: do not
          let the return value be an lvalue (fjf298[ac]).

        * util.c: init_util(): initialize `object_path'.

Sun 6 Dec 1998 13:03  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-lex.c: process_directive(): allow for (*$L foo, bar *) instead of
          (*$L foo, L bar, X+, foo-pascal *).

        * gpc.c: add_automake_files(): append `-lfoo's at the end and
          only `bar.o's at the beginning.

        * rts.c: rts_string(): case ucsd_COPY: made the third parameter
          optional (fjf40e).

Sun 6 Dec 1998 10:27  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * config-lang.in: automatically detect which patches are
          available.

        * diffs/gcc-egcs-2.91.60.diff: new diff (for egcs-1.1.1).

        * gpc-defs.h: #define build_c_type_variant always since it has
          not yet replaced c_build_type_variant in egcs-1.1.1.

        * gpc-typeck.c: build_modify_expr(): handle access to packed array
          components in two halfs (chris4, confarr5, pack{4,5,6,10,11,12}).

        * types.c: build_pascal_array_ref(): construct access to packed
          array components in two halfs.

Sat 5 Dec 1998 27:00  Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/filename.c: new function FileName

Sat 5 Dec 1998 19:21  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * module.c: module_must_be_recompiled(): do not require the
          AutoMake temp file to exist (fjf226i,upath).  If no
          compilation is needed, it may not exist.

Sat 5 Dec 1998 18:47  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * doc/reference.texi: @node Copy: clearified and fixed bugs.

        * rts.c: build_rts_call(): case ucsd_COPY: pass opcode R_COPY
          (fjf40b); case gpc_CSTRING2STRING: removed obsolete code and
          fixed more bugs (fjf297[ab]).

Sat 5 Dec 1998 14:13  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * doc/reference.texi: documented `SubStr' and `Copy'.
          This does not reflect the current behaviour of `Copy' (trcopy.pas)!

        * gpc-defs.h: if not in EGCS, #define build_c_type_variant, so
          GPC can still work with GCC2.

        * gpc-typeck.c: build_function_call(): avoid immediate expansion
          in functions returning string variables (fjf226[ef]).
          build_unary_op(), lvalue_or_else(), build_modify_expr():
          re-enabled handling of COMPOUND_EXPR.

        * module.c: module_must_be_recompiled(): sanity check;
          if verbose, report the end of an AutoMake.  The sanity check
          causes new failures (upath, fjf226i) that might explain other
          bugs ...

        * rts.c: build_rts_call(): case gpc_CSTRING2STRING: fixed bugs (fjf295).

        * util.c: contains_file_p(): sanity check.

Sat 5 Dec 1998 12:25  Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc-lex.c: process_directive(): accept `.so' and `.lnk'
          extensions in `{$L}' and interpret `{$L foo}' without
          extension as `-lfoo'

Thu 3 Dec 1998 11:15  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * module.c: do_extra_import(): pass NULL_TREE for filenames not
          given explicitly (fjf101[ab]).

Wed 2 Dec 1998 26:15  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-typeck.c: comptypes(): clearified comments for the
          compatibility of INTEGER_TYPE, CHAR_TYPE, and BOOLEAN_TYPE.
          convert_for_assignment(): forbid assignments between types
          containing files (john2d).

        * gpc.c: hack_predefines(): look for "-DMSDOS" rather than
          "-D__MSDOS__".

        * rts.c: build_rts_call(): case CSTRING2STRING: rewritten such
          that nothing gets expanded before the (rts) function call to
          `CString2String' by itself gets expanded (fjf226c).

Wed 2 Dec 1998 14:20  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc.c: hack_predefines(): don't crash at the end of the
          string; hack `cpp_predefines' rather than `argv'.
          main(): call hack_predefines() after `specs' has been read.

Tue 1 Dec 1998 26:38  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-decl.c: flag_exact_compare_strings: default to 1.

        * gpc-typeck.c: comptypes(): treat Booleans like Chars, not
          like Enums (fjf294[ab]).
          convert_for_assignment(): forbid assignments between files
          (john2c).

        * lang-specs.h: predefine __GNU_PASCAL__ if no dialect has been
          selected (dialdef).

        * module.c: do_extra_import(): implement "--uses=foo(bar),baz"
          (fjf101b).
          store_tree(), load_tree(): store and retrieve the TREE_TYPE of
          Booleans and such (fjf294[ab]).
          store_tree(), load_tree(): case FUNCTION_DECL: correctly
          recognize and store ellipsis parameters (ken1{,a}).

        * parse.y: function_heading: functions must not return files
          (john2[ab]).

        * util.c: contains_file_p(): new function (john2b).

Mon 30 Nov 1998 26:23  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * Make-lang.in: install-libgpc: depend on pascal.install-dir;
          fetch `.gpi's and `.o's from the object, not the source
          directory.

        * gpc.c: add_automake_files (): ignore items starting with `#'.

        * lang-specs.h: define __FOO_PASCAL__ if --foo-pascal is given.

        * module.c: add_to_automake_temp_file(): renamed parameter to
          generalize the use of this function. ;-)
          module_must_be_recompiled(): read the amtmpfile whether this
          module is already being compiled.  This eliminates the kludge
          with the ten-seconds-old GPI files. :-)
          compile_module(): document what we are doing in the amtmpfile.

        * rts.c: build_rts_call(): only pedwarn() for `Append' to
          non-text files in BP mode.

Sun 29 Nov 1998 25:43  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * util.c: declare_vars(): do not make initialized `asmname'
          variables extern (fjf245a).

Sun 29 Nov 1998 25:00  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        NOTE: file names in parentheses refer to a test suite program
        (located in `test'), suitable to check the success of this
        particular change.

        * doc/install.texi: clearified which directories we are speaking
          of; corrected `patches' to `diffs'; gave more and easier examples;
          added note about the EMX misery.

        * gpc-common.c: get_operator_identifier(): unroll reference
          types (fjf232[a-c]).

        * parse.y: constant_definition: allow type qualifiers (fjf245).

        * rts.c: build_rts_call(): case gpc_CSTRING2STRING: started to

          c_decode_option(): switch between exact vs. padded comparisons
          of strings.

        * lang-optons.h: new options `--[no-]exact-compare-strings'.

        * module.c: include <time.h>.

        * rts.c: rts_string(): handle string comparisons according to
          flag_exact_compare_strings.

Sat 28 Nov 1998 22:06  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * module.c: module_must_be_recompiled(): accept a missing `.o'
          file when the GPI file is not older than 10 seconds.  This is
          a kludge to prevent infinite recursion in cyclic units and
          will be obsoleted by using `make', hopefully not too far in
          the future.

Sat 28 Nov 1998 15:04  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * types.c: convert_type_to_range(): use build_pascal_range_type()
          instead of make_signed_range(); try harder to determine the
          correct supertype of subranges.

Fri Nov 27 18:08:39 1998  Nick Burrett  <nick.burrett@btinternet.com>

          $(unitsubdir) := $(libsubdir)/units.
          pascal.install-dir: create $(unitsubdir).

        * gpc-decl.c: c_decode_option(): decode `--unit-path'.

        * lang-options.h: new option `--unit-path'.

Wed 25 Nov 1998 16:49  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gbe.h: extern declaration for `save_argv'.

        * gpc-defs.h: if not already defined, define DIR_SEPARATOR and
          PATH_SEPARATOR.

        * module.c: unit_path: new global variable.
          locate_file(): search the SEARCHPATH.
          module_must_be_recompiled(): use locate_file() to determine
          whether the source exists.

          object file.
          gpi_open(): search the UNIT_PATH.

        * types.c: convert_type_to_range(): do not let usage as an array
          index range spoil the ranges of the type (array[Boolean] of foo).

        * util.c: init_util(): initialize the unit path from the
          directory we are living in.

Tue 24 Nov 1998 17:28  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

          directives.

        * gpc-typeck.c: build_array_ref(): Pascalify error message.

        * module.c: locate_filename(): new function.
          compile_module(), gpi_open(): use locate_filename to search
          for input files (`.gpi' and `.pas').

        * parse.y: typename: allow forward type references only within
          type declaration blocks, not in method definitions.

        * rts.c: rts_string(): do not immediately expand calls to
          _p_string; build COMPOUND_EXPRs instead.  Otherwise, the call
          cannot be optimized away in cases like "if false then".

Sun Nov 22 09:56:05 1998  Nick Burrett  <nick.burrett@btinternet.com>

        * gpc-common.c (build_c_type_variant): Renamed from

          p_grokfields(): set the sign of the type of a bitfield
          according to the sign returned by count_bits().

        * DJGPP.DJL, DJGPP.ENV, README.DJGPP: new files.

        * Make-lang.in: pascal.install-info: look for info files in

        * gpc-common.c: build_pascal_binary_op(): Avoid warning in the case
          "<unsigned value> in [ 0..<whatever> ]".

        * gpc-typeck.c: convert_arguments(): avoid "incompatible pointer
          type" warnings only in the case of strings;
          pass string constants by address in the case of ellipsis parameters.

        * parse.y: object_field_list: all object types have biggest alignment.
          function_heading: avoid crashes on errorneous operator definitions.
          standard_function_statment: unsuccessfully trying to reduce
          the context where `Dispose' looks for object destructors.
          break_statement: unsuccessfully trying to make `break' in
          `case' statements act like expected in Pascal.

        * types.c: build_record_variant_part(): generate RECORDs instead
          of UNIONs if the variants contain files or schemata.
          count_bits(): do not spoil the type node.

        * util.c: declare_known_ids(): declare the most basic types last,
          so error messages sound more "natural".
          contains_file_or_schema_p(): make it extern instead of static
          (used from types.c: build_record_variant_part()).

Sat  8 Nov 1998 29:00 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * util.c, rts/types.h, rts/gpc.pas, rts/bind.c,

          things with an unknown number of bits.

        * util.c: un_initialize_block(): do not init_any() external variables.

        * Make-lang.in (p/rts/Makefile): depend on $(GCC_PASSES) rather
          than $(GCC_PARTS).

Sat 31 Oct 1998  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-lex.c: #include <unistd.h>.

        * gpc-typeck.c: build_function_call(): calling a function which
          returns a string has side effects.

        * gpi-hash.c: must we #include <sys/stdtypes.h> here?  Can
          AutoConf help here?

        * objects.c: construct_vmt(): be a little more robust in case of
          an internal error.

        * parse.y: function_declaration: do the implicit "with Self do"
          earlier, so it is in effect when the declaration of the result
          variable takes place; also clearified internal error message. (-:
          case_element: implicitly enclose case statements in
          `begin'...`end'.  They might contain composed statements such
          as `CString2String'.

          and function calls more precisely.

Wed 21 Oct 1998 24:00 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * parse.y: new_identifier_1: removed ASM_KEYWORD which caused a
          s/r conflict.
          asm_statement: use input_filename and lineno instead of
          $<filename>-1 and $<lineno>0.  (I do not understand this
          mechanism.)-:

Mon 19 Oct 1998 20:06  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * README: upgraded GPC version number.

        * gpc-defs.h: removed HASH_EMBED.

        * gpc-typeck.c: re_layout_type(): avoid to call layout_type()
          for pointers and references (can crash when the type pointed
          to has been loaded from a GPI).

        * module.c: gpi_contents: removed.
          store_tree(), load_tree(), create_gpi_files(), load_gpi_file:
          removed HADH_EMBED conditionals - we always use hash embedding now.

        * parse.y: asm_qualifier: new rule.
          function_declaration: introduced check for
          current_function_return_variable; was interrupted; some
          remainder of my bug tracking is still present ... :-?
          statement_extensions: enable/disable `volatile' for asm.
          asm_statement: moved warnings here; handle `volatile'.
          asm_qualifier: removed warnings here; added `volatile'.

        * util.c: output_real_main_program(): let `main()' return zero.

          rts/write.c: hack_fwrite(); rts/file.c: _p_open(),
          _p_flush (), _p_close(): if TFDD routines were set, use
          them instead of file access

Sun 20 Sep 1998 24:20 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/endian.pas: new file. Routines to handle endianness.

Sat 12 Sep 1998 24:15 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/file.c: realpath(): don't use _truename() on DJGPP
          because it was reported to not always work correctly.
          Instead make the version here work with Dos file names.

        * rts/filename.pas: export DirSeparatorVar as a variable for
          realpath()

          _p_malloc() and _p_free() through _p_getmem_ptr and
          _p_freemem_ptr

        * rts/*: use _p_free() instead of free()

Mon  7 Sep 1998  8:30 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/types.h; rts/fdr.h; rts/error.c; rts/file.c:
          _p_initfdr(), _p_close(); rts/bind.c: _p_bind(),
          _p_binding(), _p_unbind(): implemented fkind_BINDABLE

Sun 30 Aug 1998 26:42 MEST           Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>
                                   Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>
                                    Matthias Klose <doko@cs.tu-berlin.de>
          Jan-Jaap van der Heijden <J.J.vanderHeijden@student.utwente.nl>
                               Nick Burrett <nick.burrett@btinternet.com>

        * Make-lang.in: Updated `gpc_release' to 19980830.

        * test/: new subdirectory `local' for platform-specific tests.

        * Make-lang.in: Updated `gpc_release' to 19980829
          - now y2k-compliant. :-)

        * gpc-common.c: shorten_compare(): Pascalified limited-range warnings.

        * gpc-decl.c: store_parm_decls(): disabled the main program's
          tail recursion reentry stuff.
          resolve_forward_pointer(): handle function return types.

        * gpc-lex.c: yylex(): implemented a kludge for hosts with
          HOST_BITS_PER_WIDE_INT <> 32. :-(

        * gpc-typeck.c: check_pascal_initializer(): call functions in
          initalizers.
          convert_for_assignment(): don't reject correct assignments of
          pointers to integer types.

        * module.c: store_tree(), load_tree(): make `lang_code' a signed
          char to make the PPC happy.

        * parse.y: function_heading: do not crash on errorneous function
          return types.

        * rts.c: build_rts_call(): case bp_PARAMSTR: save one comparison
          when the actual parameter is unsigned.

        * test/i386/: new directory for i386-specific tests.

        * test/knownbugs/: new directory for known bugs currently being
          worked on.

        * types.c: check_set_bounds(): corrected warning.

        * util.c: check_identifier(): implemented the promise "for each
          function it appears in".

Fri 28 Aug 1998 15:10  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * ../expr.c for EGCS: get_inner_reference(): convert `index' to
          `sbitsizetype' or `ssizetype' to ensure that the product or sum
          gets this type.

Mon 24 Aug 1998 19:51  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-decl.c: c_decode_option(): implemented `--no-autolink',
          `--no-automake', and `--no-autobuild'.  They are all
          equivalent and disable any AutoFoo mechanism.

        * lang-options.h: new options `--no-autolink', `--no-automake',
          and `--no-autobuild'.

        * module.c: module_must_be_recompiled(): corrected AutoLink
          behaviour.

        * rts.c: build_rts_call(): case bp_RUNERROR: return -1 instead of 81.

Sat 22 Aug 1998 15:32  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

Sat 22 Aug 1998 11:51  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * parse.y: rts_proc_zeropar: `RunError' can also be called
          without args.

        * rts.c: build_rts_call(): case bp_RUNERROR: `RunError' without
          args is `RunError ( 81 )' ("assertion failure").

        * util.c: declare_known_id():  use TYPE_DECLs instead of VAR_DECLs
          for built-in identifiers that are known to represent types.
          This reduces the damage caused by the VAR_DECL kludge.  :-[

Tue 18 Aug 1998 23:00 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/configure.in, rts/rts-config.in: added
          AC_FUNC_CLOSEDIR_VOID, AC_CHECK_FUNCS(statvfs statfs)

        * rts/file.c: _p_closedir(), _p_statfs(): new functions

1998-08-03  Matthias Klose  <doko@cs.tu-berlin.de>

          EPC, BPC man pages.
          (pascal.install-info): Depend on info files built in build directory.
          (p/doc/gpc.info, p/doc/gpc.dvi): Depend on gpcpas.texi built in
          build directory.

Sun 2 Aug 1998 19:32  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-decl.c: c_decode_option(), lang-options.h:
          implemented `--autolink'.

        * gpc-lex.c: process_directive(): adapted to new meaning of
          flag_automake.

        * gpc-typeck.c: comp_target_types(), convert_arguments(),
          convert_for_assignment(): be stricter about pointers to
          integer types.  error_assignment(): new function.

        * module.c: flag_automake: new meaning.
          module_must_be_recompiled(): adapted to new meaning of
          flag_automake.

        * parse.y: optional_program_heading: call store_executable_name().
          program_heading: do not call store_executable_name().
          array_index_list: do not crash on errors.
          variable_access_or_typename, variable_or_function_access_no_id:
          `File' is a special case of a typename. :-(

        * rts.c: build_rts_call(): case gpc_CSTRING2STRING: store the
          CString in a temporary variable; case p_BIND: removed the
          "type" parameter; case bp_APPEND, p_EXTEND: require text files.

        * test/future/constrord.pas: moved to test/past/.

Sat 1 Aug 1998 13:05  Peter Breitenlohner <peb@mppmu.mpg.de>

        * Make-lang.in: RTSSTAGESTUFF: added missing "p/rts/emath-stamp".

Thu 30 Jul 1998 24:00 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/types.h: struct Fdr: replaced LastBinding by
          BindingChanged

1998-07-30  Matthias Klose  <doko@cs.tu-berlin.de>

        * test_summary: new file.

        * test/Makefile (test): add echos to run test_summary.

Wed 29 Jul 1998 24:36  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-common.c: build_pascal_binary_op(): changed internal names
          for temporary strings.

        * gpc-convert.c: convert(): call abort() if input is nonsense.

        * objects.c: check_object_pointer(): use concat().

        * parse.y: variable_or_function_access_no_id: do not return
          NULL_TREE for new(), but error_mark_node - even for procedural use.

        * types.c: build_pascal_string_schema(): take care that the
          bounds of the array are in permanent obstack; use TREE_SET_CODE().
          convert_type_to_range(): take care that the bounds of the range
          are in permanent obstack.

        * util.c: init_any(): use build_pascal_array_ref() instead of
          build_array_ref(), so schema pointers get pre-discriminated.
          In fact this does *not* solve the problems which motivated
          this change.

Tue 28 Jul 1998 24:30 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/fdr.h, rts/file.c: _p_nameit(), _p_open(): replaced
          the mode bits by simple constants. With M_SWRITE, open the
          file for reading/writing, not for appending

        * rts/types.h: struct Fdr: new field LastBinding

        * rts/check_binding(): don't close the file if the binding
          hasn't changed

Mon 27 Jul 1998 12:46-13:06  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * Make-lang.in: p/doc/gpc.info: `cd' into `p/doc', and add the
          correct include path.

        * config-lang.in: dropped support for gcc-2.8.0.

        * diffs/Makefile.in.diff: removed; instead, `../Makefile.in' is
          included into `mkdiffs'.

        * diffs/gcc-2.8.0.diff, gcc-egcs-2.91.28 through 2.91.50: removed.

        * diffs/gcc-2.8.0.diff, gcc-egcs-2.91.51: rebuilt.

        * diffs/mkdiff: include `Makefile.in' and `prefix.c'.

        * gbe.h: dropped emit_string_move() and emit_string_pad().

        * gpc-common.c: build_pascal_binary_op(): use binary_op_error()
          to report an error.

        * gpc-decl.c: init_decl_processing(), finish_struct(), finish_enum():
          with EGCS, re-calculate TYPE_SIZE_UNIT.
          grok_directive(): use mark_addressable() instead of directly
          assigning to TREE_ADDRESSABLE.

        * gpc-typeck.c: build_function_call(): pointers to functions
          cannot be called directly - complain about missing `^'.
          build_c_cast(): allow for conversions including REFERENCE_TYPEs.
          convert_for_assignment(): implicitly convert a function to a
          reference rather than a pointer; implicitly convert function
          references instead of pointers.

        * lang-specs.h: pass " -D__NEED_ALIGNMENT__" on machines with
          STRICT_ALIGNMENT.

        * module.c: store_tree(), load_tree(): with EGCS, store/retrieve
          TYPE_SIZE_UNIT.

        * objects.c: inherit(), add_vmt_field(): with EGCS, re-calculate
          TYPE_SIZE_UNIT.

        * parse.y: module_constructor, implicit_module_constructor,
          optional_unit_constructor, module_destructor:
          use mark_addressable() instead of directly assigning to
          TREE_ADDRESSABLE.

        * test/README: documented `foo.run'.

        * test/john1.pas: moved to test/future/.

        * types.c: grok_packed(), make_signed_range(): with EGCS,
          re-calculate TYPE_SIZE_UNIT.

        * util.c: maybe_call_function(): implicitly dereference pointers
          to functions.  (Why???)

Sun 26 Jul 1998 21:00 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * Make-lang.in: when calling the rts/configure: replaced
          "CONFIG_SITE=/dev/null" by "CONFIG_SITE=nonexisting-file"
          to avoid a sh error message about /dev/null not being a
          regular file. rts/configure checks for existence of the
          file, so giving a nonexisting file has the same effect as
          /dev/null, but without an error message.

        * rts/types.h: NEG_WIDTH_ERROR_MASK, NEG_WIDTH_LEFT_MASK,
          NEG_WIDTH_CENTER_MASK: new constants

        * rts/write.c: _p_get_padding(): new function

        * rts/wrtinc.c: use NEG_WIDTH_ERROR_MASK,
          NEG_WIDTH_LEFT_MASK, NEG_WIDTH_CENTER_MASK

Sat 25 Jul 1998 21:31-21:39  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-common.c: build_pascal_binary_op(): use build_string_move()
          instead of emit_string_move().

        * gpc-decl.c: init_decl_processing(): added library_name for
          __builtin_memset().  Since this is in c-decl.c of EGCS but not
          of GCC2, it was obviously a bug in GCC2.

        * rts.c: build_rts_call(): case bp_PARAMSTR: use build_string_move()
          instead of emit_string_move().

        * types.c: assign_string(): use build_string_move() instead
          of emit_string_move() and build_string_pad() instead of
          emit_string_pad().

        * util.c: build_string_move(), build_string_pad(): new functions.

        * ../expr.c: removed emit_string_move(), emit_string_pad().

Sat 25 Jul 1998 19:54-20:39  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-decl.c: grok_direktive(): unexported `forward' procedures
          are `static' in C sense.
          start_pascal_function(): use comptypes() rather than == for
          checking whether the function return value of declaration and
          definition matches.

        * gpc-typeck.c: comptypes(): require matching packedness only
          for arrays and records.
          convert_arguments(): use `make_new_variable()' to create
          temporary variables for `const' parameters; the temporary
          variable must not be read-only.
          check_pascal_initializer(): handle initialization of schemata.
          build_modify_expr(): handle `Real ( foo ):= bar'.

        * gpc.c: hack_predefines(): new function.
          main(): hack the command line to predefine `-D__OS_DOS__'
          where appropriate.

        * module.c: add_automake_gpc_options(): use save_string().
          store_executable_name(): use save_string() which fixes a "-1" bug.
          store_tree(), load_tree(): case FILE_TYPE: store/retrieve the size.

        * parse.y: structured_borland_initializer: accept `( )'.
          function_declaration: init_any() the function return variable.
          declaring_statement: accept initialization with `='.
          assignment_or_call_statement: be more tolerant to errors (doesn't
          seem to make a difference)

        * rts.c: pascal_unpack_and_pack(): take the correct index domain.

        * test/Makefile: if present, use a script `foo.run' to execute
          the test program.

        * types.c: assign_string: use `__builtin_memcpy()' instead of
          emit_string_move().
          build_array_slice_ref(): warn about ISO 7185 violation;
          handle CStrings.
          build_pascal_array_ref(): type-check the array index;
          handle CStrings.

        * util.c: build_pascal_initializer(): handle schemata.

Sat 25 Jul 1998 19:50  Matthias Klose  <doko@cs.tu-berlin.de>

        * Make-lang.in: build info files in build directory.

Fri 24 Jul 1998 15:50 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/filemname.pas: TStringSize, TString, TStringBuf:
          moved into rts/rtsstr.pas

        * rts/rtsstr.pas: UpCaseString, LoCaseString, UpCaseStr,
          LoCaseStr: new procedures

Thu 23 Jul 1998 22:25-22:44  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * gpc-typeck.c: build_component_ref(): avoid multiple error messages;
          do not crash on requests of fields of a type definition.
          check_pascal_initializer(): calculate array bounds in `Integer' type.
          re_layout_type(): preserve packedness.
          c_expand_return(): reject `return foo;' in Procedures.

        * parse.y: return_statement: handle strings.
          variable_or_function_access_no_id: handle `New ( p, Init )' with
          a pointer variable `p' to an object with a constructor `Init'.

        * rts.c: build_rts_call(): renamed temporary variables consistently;
          case p_BINDING, p_UNBIND: check for file type; case p_BIND:
          re-formulated error message.

        * types.c: grok_packed(): handle packed arrays of arbitrary types,
          including multidimensional arrays.

        * util.c: init_any(): calculate array bounds in `Integer' type.

        * test/past: new directory for keeping obsolete test programs,
          e.g. for features taken out again or planned but not accepted.

Thu 23 Jul 1998 21:30 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/write.c: ok_WRITE(), rts/file.c: _p_open (),
          rts/fdr.h, rts/rts.h, rts/rt0.c: _p_initialize(): removed
          the special treatment of the null device

Thu 23 Jul 1998 12:28-12:32  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * module.c: load_tree(): case VAR_DECL, FUNCTION_DECL:
          save and restore the original IDENTIFIER_LOCAL_VALUE ("import only").
          import_interface(): reject self-dependencies.

        * test/future: new directory for keeping test programs that are
          out of range for gpc-2.1.

Tue ;-) 22 Jul 1998 25:57-26:44  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * diffs/mkdiff: removed the `../mkstemp.c' stuff obsoleted by
          inclusion of `mkstemp.c' into the GPC source.

        * gpc-decl.c: c_decode_option(): `--field-widths': accept

          `--standard-pascal' etc.: initialize field widths.

        * gpc-defs.h: LONG_INT_OUT_WIDTH, LONG_REAL_OUT_WIDTH: new constants.
          PASCAL_TYPE_UNDISCRIMINATED_SCHEMA(): use a weaker condition.

        * gpc-typeck.c: convert_arguments(): construct sets out of set

          grok_discriminant(): handle formal discriminants discriminated by
          other actual discriminants.
          re_layout_type(): don't decrease the type precision; preserve
          LANG_SPECIFIC of record types.
          digest_init(): BOOLEAN_TYPE is an ordinal type, too.  In fact
          this omission did not (yet?) cause a bug (and is untested now).
          really_start_incremental_list(), push_init_level(): convert
          array index type to `Integer' to avoid overflows.

        * module.c: store_tree(), load_tree(): store/load TREE_LISTs

          standard_function_statement: treat `reset' etc. as part of
          `rts_proc_parlist' rather than a separate `rts_file_open'.
          rts_file_open: removed; integrated into `rts_proc_parlist'.
          optional_filename: now superfluous rule removed.
          rts_proc_parlist: handle `reset' etc.

        * rts.c: rts_write(): initialize local variable;
          type-check parameters to `write' to a typed file and
          distinguish strings from chars;
          pass field widths for long integers and reals.
          build_rts_call(): case bp_INC, bp_DEC: handle all integer
          types correctly; case p_RESET etc.: re-written.

        * types.c: assign_string(): use `append_null_character()'.
          append_null_character(): new function.
          is_packed_field(): be more tolerant about the input.
          select_integer_type(): don't let variables always win against
          constants; be more careful instead.
          build_array_slice_ref(): don't let `fold()' optimize away needed
          parts of the array; cleaned up ISO warning.

        * util.c: long_int_out_width, long_real_out_width: new variables.
          declare_vars(): reject undiscriminated schema types.

Tue 21 Jul 1998 25:30 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * gpc.c: process_command(): assume tooldir_prefix is an
          absolute path if it starts with '$', so that DJGPP->foo
          cross-compilers will get a useful path ($DJDIR\foo\bin) to
          their cross-binutils

        * module.c: compile_module(): fixed a FIXME

          not supply this file.
        * system.h: New file (copied from EGCS). Required for mkstemp.c
        * rts/Makefile.in: remove --automake from .pas.o rule.
          It crashes gpc1, and should have been in $(PFLAGS) anyway.
        * rts/bind.c, rts/read.c, rts/rt0.c, rts/set.c, rts/string.c,
          rts/write.c:  replace rindex() calls with strrchr()
          equivalent. This helps pure ANSI systems; BSD gluecode is present.
          bcopy() -> memcpy() and bzero() -> memset(): ditto.
        * rts/configure.in: check for memcpy(), strchr()
        * rts/configure: rebuilt.
        * rts/file.c (_p_mkdir): for _WIN32, mkdir() takes only one argument.
        * rts/random.c, rts/rt0.c: #include <process.h> for correct prototypes
        * rts/rts.h: Not all systems have <string.h> Add gluecode.

          `gpc_minor', and `gpc_release' here rather than in `lang-specs.in'.

        * diffs/gcc-2.8.0.diff: added hunk to create a dummy `../mkstemp.c'.

        * diffs/gcc-2.8.1.diff: rebuilt to use `-C3' instead of `-U3'
          and to create a dummy `../mkstemp.c'.

          include `mkstemp.c'.

        * gpc-cccp.c: skip_if_group(): don't count line numbers twice
          if a comment is present in the skipped text.

          implementation part of a unit.

        * gpc-typeck.c: comptypes(): explicitly check whether the length
          of discriminated strings matches; do a compromise when
          checking whether two records (schemata) match. :-/
          comp_object_or_schema_pointer_types(): check it the hard way
          in case the comfortable way fails.
          build_function_call(): don't check C format strings.

          factor: make `high' and `low' work with schemata and strings.

        * test/*.bug: `mmv'ed to test/#1.pas.  Perhaps they should go
          into a new directory `known-bugs'?

        * types.c: expand_packed_field(): also handle non-subranges.

        * util.c: handle_formal_param_list(): with "open array"s, my
          favourite bug "prior parameter's size depends on `Foo'" had
          a rebirth.  Now it's fixed again.
          init_any(): re-formulated loop to initialize arrays to avoid
          an the index variable to leave the allowed range.

          in the same program, and pointers allocated with
          New/GemMem can be freed with free(), and pointers
          allocated with malloc() can be freed with Dispose/FreeMem

          file pointers when it is not know if it will be read from
          or written to them).

        * gpc-common.c: build_pascal_pointer_reference(), rts.c:
          build_buffer_ref(): create a call to _p_lazytryget() for
          dereferencing file buffers. Semantics of the second

          adjusted these files, Makefile.in and some other files
          accordingly

        * rts/rts-file.c: _p_open(): when opening a file with a file
          name, do a binding internally. Don't do this in _p_open(),
          but rather in _p_reset(), _p_rewrite() and _p_extend().

        * rts/fassign.p: InternalAssign: new function, used from
          rts/rts-file.c

          field if HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY is defined

Fri May 22 17:00:48 1998 J.J. van der Heijden <J.J.vanderHeijden@studenty.utwente.nl>

        * Makefile.in: execute configure from $(srcdir) which need not be
          the current directory

Thu 21 May 1998 17:50  Matthias Klose <doko@cs.tu-berlin.de>

        * diffs/gcc-egcs-2.91.28.diff: add check-gpc to gcc/Makefile.in
          check target.

        * gpc.c (main): correctly set the language dialect, if the driver is
          called with an `x' as prefix.

          set two environment variables (AUTOMAKE_GPC, AUTOMAKE_EXEC_PREFIX)
          to correctly (???) call the driver for the automake feature.
          Sure, that's a hack ...

        * module.c (module_must_be_recompiled): get the name of the gpc
          and the exec prefix used from the environment, if set
          (AUTOMAKE_GPC, AUTOMAKE_EXEC_PREFIX).

          (p/version.o): remember date and time of the first
          build and use it for later stages, else `make compare' fails.

          _p_GetN(): bug fixed (wrong argument to hack_fread())

        * parse.y, rts.c: rts-read(): use p_got() instead of p_get()
          after reading from a typed file, so that this also behaves
          lazy

        * rts/*: removed some warnings

Mon 11 May 1998 18:21  Peter Gerwinski <peter@gerwinski.de>

        * parse.y: type_definition: do schema definitions inside the

Tue 20 Jan 1998 26:50 Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/rts-base.p: New file. Currently it declares only
          constants for endianness and need for alignment.

        * parse.y, rts.c, util.c, doc/reference.texi: renamed `AssignType'
          and `AssignLength' to `SetType' and `SetLength'.

        * parse.y: case_statement: copy_node() and string_may_be_char()
          the case expression (for type checking).

        * util.c: handle_formal_conf_array_param_list(): handle `packed'
          in each level separately.

        Now GPC passes all ISO-7185 level-0 and level-1 conformance tests
        on the DEC Alpha with `-O0'.  With `-O6' two level-0 tests fail;
        both are related to set operations.

Thu 15 Jan 1998 11:24 Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * rts.c: rts_read(): for non-text files, check that the types

          rather than `t'.

Wed 14 Jan 1998 25:12 Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * util.c: handle_formal_conf_array_param_list(): reverse the
          index ranges when constructing the array, but don't reverse
          them when pushing the index parameters.

Wed 14 Jan 1998 21:25 Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * rts.c: build_rts_call(): case p_EXTEND, p_REWRITE, p_RESET:

Wed 14 Jan 1998 20:54 Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * parse.y: variable_or_function_access_no_id: if parameters are
          given, call the function, even if it is a procedural variable
          instead of a method.

Wed 14 Jan 1998 20:00 Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * parse.y: constant_definition, absolute_or_value_specification:

          of procedural variables.

Wed 14 Jan 1998 19:35 Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * rts/rts-types.h: struct Fdr: moved `FilSiz' back to its old
          position after the buffer pointer and the flags, where the
          lazy-I/O stuff wants it.

        * rts.c: build_rts_call(): case p_EXTEND, p_REWRITE, p_RESET:
          handle the new position of the file size field in the FDR.

Wed 14 Jan 1998 17:27 Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * lang-options.h: new options `-f[no-]truncate-strings' and

        * gpc-decl.c: flag_capital_exponent: new variable.
          c_decode_option(): handle `-f[no-]truncate-strings' and
          `-f[no-]write-capital-exponent'.

          new_identifier_1: updated.
          file_type: accept untyped files.
          rts_proc_parlist: accept `BlockRead' and `BlockWrite'.

        * rts/rts-types.h: struct Fdr: moved `FilSiz' to the beginning
          to simplify compiler access to that field.

        * rts.c: rts[]: included `ucsd_BLOCKREAD' and `ucsd_BLOCKWRITE'.
          rts_write(): pass REAL_CAPITAL_EXP_MASK.
          build_rts_call(): case ucsd_FILLCHAR, bp_MOVE, ucsd_MOVELEFT,
          ucsd_MOVERIGHT: don't crash on errorneous parameter lists;
          case ucsd_BLOCKREAD, ucsd_BLOCKWRITE: new cases;
          case p_EXTEND, p_REWRITE, p_RESET: handle size specification
          for untyped files.

Tue 13 Jan 1998 17:27 Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * types.c: build_pascal_array_ref(): promote the type's
          TREE_UNSIGNED to the BIT_FIELD_REF, so packed array components
          get the correct sign even with constant indices.

Tue 13 Jan 1998 15:55 Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * types.c: expand_packed_field(): new function.

        * gpc-typeck.c: convert_arguments(): use expand_packed_field().

          `var' parameters more than once.

        * rts.c: rts_read(): allow bit fields.

        Applied EMX-related patches by Kevin A. Foss <kfoss@mint.net>:

        * compile.cmd: replace `specs.h' and `options.h'.

        * config/emx/Makefile.RTS: handle `rts-intf.p'.

        * config/emx/rts-vers.c: back on stage.

        * rts/rts-file.c: EMX does not have S_ISBLK().

Mon 12 Jan 1998 12:15 Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * rts.c: rts[], build_rts_call(): case ucsd_INT, bp_FRAC:
          make `int' and `frac' use Frank's RTS functions rather than
          converting the argument to `Integer' and back.

Sat 10 Jan 1998 12:15 Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * module.c: load_tree(): case TYPE_DECL: remember the name of

          constants when passed to `pack'/`unpack' as the array index.

        * diffs/mkdiff: handle `tree.c'.

        * diffs/gcc-2.7.2.x.diff: rebuilt.

        * compile.cmd, doc/install.texi, config/emx/Makefile.RTS:
          applied EMX-related patches by Kevin A. Foss <kfoss@mint.net>.
          Removed patched C files from `config/emx' since a port of
          Larry Wall's GNU patch to EMX exists.

Sun 4 Jan 1998 23:20:30  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * ../tree.c:-(new back-end file being modified for GPC)-:
          get_set_constructor_bits(): sets are word-aligned; don't let
          them start exactly from the lower bound.

        * Make-lang.in, Makefile.in: updated for patched `tree.c'.

Sun 4 Jan 1998 20:33:40  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * module.c: clarified comments.
          store_tree(), load_tree(): case FILE_TYPE: store TYPE_MIN_VALUE

          new parameter `methods_only' - optionally only shadow methods.
          shadow_record_fields(): renamed to pascal_shadow_record_fields().
          Callers changed.  (No idea why the C guys define a prototype for
          shadow_record_fields().)

        * parse.y: function_declaration: disable "Inherited" only at the
          end of the method, not at the end of a subfunction of the method.

        * rts/make-emath.sed: new file, currently unused, but who knows?

        * rts/rts-file.c: _p_open(): mark FiSEEK if file is seekable

        * rts/rts-read.c: _p_eof(): for seekable direct-access
          files, determine EOF by comparing the file position to the
          file size rather than trying to read something ahead

        * rts/rts-block.c: _p_blockread(): made it work for
          non-seekable untyped files after checking _p_eof(). This
          allows, e.g., stdin to be assigned to an untyped file.

Fri 19 Dec 1997 19:00  Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/rts-bind.c:_p_bind(): Fixed a bug introduced while

          checking for GPC_STRINGS in rts/rts-rdinc.c and
          rts/rts-rdsub.c

        * gpc-defs.h: made LAZY_IO the default rather than
          LAZY_IO_TEXT

        * rts/Makefile.in: added ../gpc-defs.h (though including it
          doesn't seem to work in RTS files)

        * util.c: fixed a typo

Tue 16 Dec 1997 24:50  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * AUTHORS: updated.

        * diffs/mkpatch: simplified comment; make the script produce and
          remove a symlink.

        * doc/install.texi: corrected typo; renamed "patch" to "diff".

        * doc/reference.texi: menu entries for `int' and `frac',
          skeleton for `PtrInt', `PtrCard', `PtrWord'.

        * gpc-decl.c: ptrsize_integer_type_node,
          ptrsize_unsigned_type_node: new variables.

        * lang-specs.h: define __BITS_BIG_ENDIAN__, __BYTES_BIG_ENDIAN__,
          __WORDS_BIG_ENDIAN__; take GPC-specific flags `%3' into account.

          with `current_type_name'.
          declaring_statement: initialize the variables.
          simple_if: improved (?) debugging information.
          assignment_or_call_statement: output debugging information for
          procedure calls.
          variable_or_function_access_no_id: call INHERITED methods here
          instead of in assignment_or_call_statement.

        * rts.c: rts_read(): in BP mode, only pass INT_READ_HEX_MASK.
          build_rts_call(): case ucsd_SEEK, etc.: allow subranges as
          file index types.

          void * to FDR. Removed _p_get_binding()

        * rts/rts-hdr.h: changed the prototypes of functions in
          rts/rts-bind.c

          P_FIXED_STRING, P_CSTRING

          pointers in this situation.
          build_modify_expr(): when writing to packed arrays, strip

        * rts/rts-string.c: don't use return value of asprintf

        * rts/rts-types.h: new constants for new treatment of reals.

        * rts/rts-write.c: DIRECTVIDEO(): new macro; used to clean
          up the PRINTF*() macros.

        * rts/rts-wrsub.c: new treatment of reals without leading
          blank; handle `LongReal's; receive string length as a
          value parameter rather than as a reference parameter

        * util.c: rts_write(): handle `LongReal's; corrected
          handling of non-standard integers; pass string length as a
          value parameter

Tue 12 Aug 1997 19:18  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * doc/programming.texi: size of integer types clarified.

        * gpc-typeck.c: check_pascal_initializer(): implemented a trivial
          range check for string constants.

        Fixed bugs reported by Jan-Jaap:

        * module.c: module_export_range(): really return something.

        * parse.y: main_program_declaration: removed superfluous parameter.
          assignment_or_call_statement: removed dead code.

        * util.c: rts_string(): removed superfluous parameter.

Sat 9 Aug 1997 13:40  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * doc/gpc.texi, doc/bpqstart.texi, doc/bugs.texi, doc/extend.texi,
          doc/install.texi, doc/invoke.texi, doc/sets.texi: cleaned up a little.

        * doc/gpc-source.texi, doc/programming.texi, doc/reference.texi:
          violently extended.

        * gpc-lex.c: process_directive(): corrected typo which caused to look
          for `.a' files under an `.o' name. #-)
          yylex(): barf on integer constants exceeding `LongestCard'.

        * gpc.gperf: re-sorted alphabetically.

        * gpi-hash.c: get_uid(): no need to check for `l->node'.

        * parse.y: factor: SIZEOF: handle object type names correctly.

        * util.c: check_object_pointer(): don't limit the identifier for the
          pointer to 256 chars; export the pointer, if in a unit or module.
          KItable[]: directly call libc function for `arctan', `sin', and
          `cos'.

Sat 9 Aug 1997 13:40  Bill Currie <billc@blackmagic.tait.co.nz>

        * parse.y: gpc_GETFILE: new token.
          new_identifier_1: included `gpc_GETFILE'.
          rts_fun_onepar: handle `gpc_GETFILE'.

        * util.c: rts[], KItable[]: added gpc_GETFILE.
          build_rts_call(): case gpc_GETFILE: new case.

Tue 7 Aug 1997 13:40  Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/rts-read.c: use P_S_INT instead of P_INT

        * rts/rts-string.c: PRINTFX(), PRINTF2(), PRINTF3(),
          PRINTF4(), CFWRITE(): new macros; _p_writestr(): handle
          `Chr (0)' in strings correctly; use include file
          `rts-wrtsub.c'; use P_S_INT instead of P_INT.

        * rts/rts-types.h: P_INT etc. constants re-arranged to
          enable us to handle modified types, too.

        * rts/rts-write.c: CFWRITE(): fixed bug with DJGPP conio.
          p_write(): use include file `rts-wrtsub.c'

        * rts/rts-wrtsub.c: new file

        * util.c: rts_read(): adapted to new constants `P_INT',
          etc.; handle long (in C: long long) integers

Wed 6 Aug 1997 14:36  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * doc/*.texi: revised.

        * Make-lang.in, doc/README, doc/TODO: adapted to new structure
          of doc/*.

        * gpc-typeck.c: build_c_cast(): don't barf on pointers being converted
          to integers.

        * gpi-hash.c: HASH_FUNC(): use `abs' to get a unique id for "negative"
          pointers, too.  This fixes Bill Currie's bug.  (Thanks, Bill!)
          hash_table[], store_header(), load_module_header(): allocated
          statically again.

        * parse.y: attribute_list: return a TREE_LIST for expressions.
          declaring_statement: warn about it unless in (*$X+*) mode.

Mon 28 Jul 1997 12:41  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-typeck.c: grok_discriminant(), re_layout_type(): copy
          expressions rather than acting on the original - which will
          be restored later.

        * module.c: load_tree(): case VAR_DECL: bcopy flags in right direction.

        * util.c: assign_string(): handle fixed strings with lower bounds
          different from one.

Sun 27 Jul 1997 14:10  Frank Heckenbach <frank@pascal.gnu.de>

        * rts/rts-types.h: P_S_LONGLONG, P_U_LONGLONG: new
          constants

        * rts/rts-write.c: _p_write(): handle unsigned and long long
          integers

        * util.c: rts_read(), rts_write(): handle non-standard
          integers

Sun 27 Jul 1997 11:05  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-typeck.c: grok_discriminant(): handle expressions.
          re_layout_type(): don't spoil the TYPE_DOMAIN of a
          type template array.

        * gpi-hash.c: hash_table[], store_header(), load_module_header():
          allocate hash_table dynamically to see what happens.  This is to
          find an error reported by Bill Currie I cannot reproduce here.  :-(

        * module.c: load_tree(): case VAR_DECL: handle `volatile' correctly;
          expressions: hash them, so we can have recursive expressions
          (schemata need them).

        * parse.y: subrange_type: warn about packed subranges.
          assignment_or_call_statement: re-ordered; no real change.
          variable_or_function_access: implicitly dereference the schema ($$),
          not a pointer to it or such ($1).

        * util.c: prediscriminate_schema(): don't spoil schema template.
          (This seems to have no effect on GPC's behaviour, but it was
          important for strings.)
          declare_vars(): preserve qualifiers, so `volatile' variables don't
          get `external'.

Mon 21 Jul 1997 16:11  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * AUTHORS: new file.

        * README.FILE_LAYOUT and TODO: updated.

        * gpc-common.c: convert_and_check(): use parentheses around `?:'.

        * gpc-typeck.c: build_c_cast(): do some trivial range checking.
          (With parentheses around `?:'.)
          convert_for_assignment(): do range checking, even if type main
          variants match.

        * gpi-hash.c: store_header(), load_module_header(): bzero hash_table.
          Was this the origin of many problems with this hashing?

        * parse.y: variable_or_function_access_maybe_assignment:
          allow `@foo' lvalues for procedural variables.
          factor: handle special case of `@foo'.
          variable_or_function_access_no_id: allow use of `New' as a
          "function" with pointers to schemata, and fix some bugs.

        * util.c: maybe_schema_discriminant(): handle expressions.
          build_rts_call(): case p_NEW: restore `val' - it might be a
          type decl; turned "tag field" warning into error message.
          declare_known_ids(): new types "MedReal" and "LongestReal".

        * stor-layout.c: fixup_unsigned_type(): record unsignedness in
          TYPE_[MIN|MAX]_VALUEs.

Sat 19 Jul 1997 25:47  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-decl.c: resolve_forward_pointer(): reduce the damage caused
          by a direct assignment of the contents of tree nodes.

        * gpc-defs.h: added prototypes to number_of_schema_discriminants(),
          is_schema_discriminant_access(), and prediscriminate_schema().

        * gpc-typeck.c: convert_arguments(): accept prediscriminated AND
          undiscriminated string schemata.

        * gpc-parse.y: factor: when taking the address of a function,
          explicitly call default_conversion already here, because
          otherwise the function might be called.
          variable_or_function_access_no_id: p_NEW: call finish_decl().

        * util.s: prediscriminate_schema: new parameter `overwrite'. Callers
          changed.

Tue 15 Jul 1997 24:42  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpi-hash.c: HASH_FUNC(): variable `_end' replaced by just zero.
          As Alexey said, this only serves to get unique ids for all tree
          nodes, so it does not really matter.

Mon 14 Jul 1997 18:50  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * Beta release of gpc-970714.

Mon 14 Jul 1997 17:27  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-decl.c: unsuccessfully tried to implement a check whether
          two heads for the same function match.  :-(

        * gpc-defs.h: PASCAL_TYPE_UNDISCRIMINATED_STRING() and
          PASCAL_TYPE_DISCRIMINATED_STRING(): simplified.
          Now they are less holperig.  :-)
          This fixed the bug I had given up to fix yesterday.  :-)
          PASCAL_TYPE_PREDISCRIMINATED_STRING(): new macro.

        * gpc-typeck.c: comptypes(): handle REFERENCE_TYPEs, including a
          misfeature of load_tree().

        * util.c: number_of_schema_discriminants and build_rts_call():
          case p_NEW: look out for PREDISCRIMINIATED_STRINGs, not for
          UNDISCRIMINATED_ ones.
          maybe_call_function():  Check whether `fun' is indeed a PARM_DECL
          before evaluating its PASCAL_PROCEDURE_PARAMETER slot.  Doing this
          for something not a *_DECL node resulted in undefined results, thus
          producing a very ugly bug which is fixed now - I hope at least.

Sun 13 Jul 1997 13:17  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-common.c: convert_and_check(): do some trivial range checks.
          binary_op_error(): cleaned up.

        * gpc-decl.c: print_lang_decl(), print_lang_type(): print something.
          is_known_directive(): simplified error message.
          start_pascal_function(): gave up trying to fix a "prior parameter's
          size depends on `Foo'" bug arising with undiscriminated string
          parameters in functions exported by a Unit.  :-(

        * gpc-typeck.c: bit_sizeof(): new function.
          re_layout_type: don't re-layout pointers and references.
          build_binary_op(): warn about function pointer comparisions.
          build_c_cast(): handle casts among real numbers as conversions.
          convert_for_assignment(): clean up warnings for pointer conversions.

        * module.c: load_tree(): case FUNCTION_DECL: not changed,
          just re-arranged.

        * parse.y: ucsd_CONCAT, BITSIZEOF: new tokens.
          new_identifier_1: ucsd_CONCAT and BITSIZEOF are redefinable.
          function_declaration: accept and ignore `near' and `far' directives.
          optional_borland_directive: new rule.
          factor: SIZEOF: cleaned up error message; handle BITSIZEOF.
          rts_fun_parlist: handle ucsd_CONCAT.

        * util.c: assign_string(): implemented first trivial range checks.
          build_rts_call(): case ucsd_CONCAT: new case.
          KItable[]: handle "Concat" and "Bitsizeof".

Mon 7 Jul 1997 24:00  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-module.c: integrated bug fix by Alexej Volokhov <voh@ispras.ru>

        * gpi-hash.c: get_uid(): worked around strange bug.  :-/

Sat 5 Jul 1997 14:09  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-module.c, gpi-hash.c, gpi-hash.h, circle-buf.c, circle-buf.h:
          integrated changes by Alexej Volokhov <voh@ispras.ru>

        * Make-lang.in: integrated gpi-hash.c and circle-buf.c.

        * Makefile.in: integrated gpi-hash.o and circle-buf.o.

Tue 1 Jul 1997 22:56  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * lang-specs.h: integrated bug fix by Jan-Jaap.

        * gpc-module.c: create_gpm_file(): new function.
          create_gpi_files(): took out the GPM stuff.
          store_tree(): case FUNCTION_DECL: store machine attributes.
          load_tree(): case FUNCTION_DECL: load machine attributes.

        * parse.y: type_denoter: kludge around recursion when storing
          `Integer(8)' in a GPI file.  (This can and should be taken out
          again when the improvements by Alexej are fully integrated.)
          rest_of_module: call create_gpm_file.  This it *not* done for Units.

        * testsuite/lib/gpc.exp: as Jan-Jaap proposed, we now use the Pascal
          compiler, not the C compiler to compile the Pascal test programs. :-)

        * util.c: number_of_schema_discriminants(): Don't try to discriminate
          already discriminated schemata.
          grok_packed(): set TYPE_PRECISION of packed subranges.
          rts_write(): case INTEGER_TYPE: convert `Integer(8)' etc. to
          `Integer' for writing.
          init_simple(): don't "pedwarn" about non-effect of `packed'.

Sat 28 Jun 1997 15:59  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-typeck.c: compatible_types_p(): handle enum subranges.

Tue 24 Jun 1997 26:00 MET DST   Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>
               Jan-Jaap van der Heijden <j.j.vanderheijden@student.utwente.nl>

        * Beta release of gpc-970624.

Tue 24 Jun 1997 25:58  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-lex.c: process_directive(): the $x switch implies an assignment
          to flag_ignore_function_results.

Tue 24 Jun 1997 24:35  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-typeck.c: build_c_cast(): do casts between pointers and integers
          without an auxiliary pointer.

Tue 24 Jun 1997 21:45  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * config-lang.in:  Make the complaint about unpatched GCC source
          more friendly.

Tue Jun 24 20:30:18 1997 J.J. van der Heijden <J.J. van der Heijden@student.utwente.nl>

        * Make-lang.in: pascal.bindist: new target to create binary
          distribution named "gpc-$(gpc_version).$(target).tar.gz"

        * version.c: moved version number to Make-lang.in

        * Makefile.in: bomb out if invoked without arguments (i.e. not
          from toplevel Makefile)

Tue 24 Jun 1997 18:37  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-decl.c: c_decode_option(): new options --no-extended-syntax,
          --[no-]ignore-function-results.  flag_ignore_function_results:
          new variable.

        * lang-options.h: new options --no-extended-syntax,
          --[no-]ignore-function-results.

        * parse.y: assignment_or_call_statement: make "value is ignored"
          warning dependent of flag_ignore_functon_results.

        * version.c: upgraded to gpc-970624.

Tue 24 Jun 1997 15:50  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * compile.cmd: new file.

        * config/emx/*: re-structured.  Added copies of the patched GCC
          source files because we cannot assume each EMX user to have
          `patch' installed.

        * doc/install.texi: merged changes by Jan-Jaap.

        * gpc-decl.c: finish_struct(): Pascalized error-message.
          check_variant_record(): new function.

        * gpc-typeck.c: build_c_cast(): allow casts to any types;
          tuned error and warning messages.

        * parse.y: made some warnings more consistent.
          type_denoter: defined integer types with specified number of bits.
          subrange_type: implemented packed subranges.
          record_field_list: check variant records for duplicate identifiers.

        * patches/gcc-2.7.2.1.patch: updated.

        * rts/rts-version.in: file was missing.

        * util.c: grok_packed(): handle packed subranges.
          build_rts_call(): case gpc_MIN, gpc_MAX: convert the arguments;
          don't cast them.
          declare_known_ids(): implemented more integer types: Med*, Longest*,
          *card.

Tue 17 Jun 1997 16:20  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-decl.c: grokdeclarator(): changed something I suspect to be a
          general GCC bug.  This was one of the DEC-Alpha-specific bugs.

        * gpc-defs.h: MAYBE_CALL_FUNCTION(): macro generalized and simplified.

        * gpc.c.pre-driver: renamed to gpc-pre-driver.c.

        * gpc-typeck.c: check_pascal_initializer(): moved here from util.c
          because it needs `convert_for_assignment'.

        * parse.y: type_definition: let the back-end know that schemata are
          size_volatile.  structured_iso_initializer,
          structured_borland_initializer: don't crash on error.
          iso_initializer_expression: accept more IDENTIFIERs as field names.
          borland_initializer_expression: accept structured stuff.
          function_declaration, function_identifier, method_identifier,
          parmlist1: handle nested subfunctions of methods correctly.
          function_declaration: function return variables don't need to be
          volatile any more, because we are calling `c_expand_return' now.
          This was another one of the DEC-Alpha-specific bugs.
          variable_or_function_access: expand function calls in no-ids.
          module_constructor, module_destructor, optional_unit_constructor:
          name the stuff `__init_Foo' or `__fini_Foo' to make the Alpha's
          linker happy.  This was the third and last one of the
          DEC-Alpha-specific bugs.  (Phew!)

        * patches/mkpatch:  use unidiff, and name it `.patch', not `.diff'.

        * rts/rts-write.c: _p_write(): handle CStrings (length == -1).

        * util.c: assign_string(): handle CStrings.  init_any(): cosmetical
          changes.  check_pascal_initializer(): moved to gpc-typeck.c.

        * ../stor-layout.c: variable_size(): don't store pending_sizes if
          size_volatile is nonzero.

Fri 13 Jun 1997 44:05  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * Tried hard to fix some DEC-Alpha-specific bugs:  Functions sometimes
          use the wrong register to return `Char' values when optimization is
          on; and Module/Unit constructors/destructors don't work on the
          Alpha.  Gave it up for the moment.  :-(

        * diffs: renamed to patches; gcc-2.7.2.1.diff: renamed to
          gcc-2.7.2.1.patch; mkdiff: renamed to mkpatch.  Otherwise,
          these are removed by "make extraclean".

        * gpc-common.c: truthvalue_conversion1(): case ADDR_EXPR:
          merged "APX patch" to fix some DEC-Alpha-specific bugs.
          (Did not help.)-:

        * gpc-decl.c: c_decode_option(): replace the `-famtmpfile' kludge
          by something better.

        * gpc-typeck.c: improved warnings and error messages concerning
          pointer arithmetic.

        * module.c: store_executable_name(): recycle main input file name.

        * parse.y: gpc_ASSIGNTYPE: new token.
          Improved warnings.
          assignment_or_call_statement: don't handle assignment to `TypeOf'.
          rts_prog_parlist: handle gpc_ASSIGNTYPE.
          asm_statement: mark output operands as PASCAL_VALUE_ASSIGNED.
          variable_or_function_access_no_id: don't allow assignments to
          `TypeOf'.  module_constructor, optional_unit_constructor,
          module_destructor: don't call assemble_*() directly; let
          finish_function() do that job.

        * Peter Gerwinski: upgraded from "Dipl.-Phys." to "Dr. rer. nat."
          (4.6.1997 11:00-12:30 MET DST)

        * util.c: construct_vmt(): use `sizetype' instead of
          `integer_type_node' for "object_size" and "neg_object_size" fields;

Sun 1 Jun 1997 26:34  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * Merged changes since 10 May 1997 with Jan-Jaap's gpc-i970601.

        * gpc-decl.c: c_decode_option(): derive the name of executable from
          `-famtmpfile'.  This is essentially the same as `input_filename'
          but is known at startup time, i.e. earlier.  Don't yet care about
          ".exe" extension.

        * module.c: store_executable_name(): store "-ofoo" instead of "-o foo",
          and add the ".exe" extension here rather than in `gpc-decl.c'.

        * parse.y: program_heading: do not derive the name of executable from
          the name of the program.

        * Make-lang.in: added `gpc-decl.c'.

        * util.c: invalid_pascal_initializer(): fixed undefined result when
          structured variables were initialized.

Sun Jun  1 18:03:57 1997 J.J. van der Heijden <janjaap@zoo-station.student.utwent.nl>

        * config/msdos/configur.bat: replacement `configur.bat' for DJGPP,
          so that GPC is included.

        * config/msdos/Makefile, config/msdos/Makefile.doc,
          config/msdos/specs.gpc: removed (no longer used)

        * Make-lang.in: New targets: pascal.install, pascal.install-compiler
          `pascal.install' will install GPC into an existing GCC installation,
          without overwriting existing files.
          `pascal.clean': remove xgpc

        * gcc.c: Add empty rule for *.p and *.pas to prevent an error
          from ld ("linker input file unused since linking not done")

        * gpc.c: print_message_and_exit(): New fuction. Does what you'd
          expect :-) Is called if `gpc' is executed with "-h" or without any
          options at all.

Fri 30 May 1997  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * Makefile.in: manually set GPC_VERSION to 970510.  Don't let this be
          done automatically each time `configure' is run.

        * gcc.c: do_spec_1(): case 'v': get version number correctly.
          add_automake_temp_files(): handle output files; derive the compiler
          from the extension.

        * gpc-decl.c: current_function_return_variable: new variable.
          c_decode_option(): new option `-fexecutable-file-name'.

        * gpc-lex.c: process_directive(): fix typo: change strncmp() calls
          to strcmp() ;-)
          Also in process_directive(): fix a bug reported by Frank Heckenbach:

          Dear Sir,

          this is a very interesting feature. I suggest We call it
          Randomized Compiler Selection. When We release the
          program, We will call it Automated Tool Control, and next
          year, We'll call it Embedded Application Management. Don't
          forget to include Our Delay97, Sleep97 and Nop97
          libraries, and to write some obscure technical
          documentation, as usual.

          Yours, Bill G.

        * gpc-module.c: store_executable_name(): new function.
          pass_automake_gpc_options(): handle non-Pascal compilations.
          module_repair_exported_ranges(): handle exported ENUMERAL_TYPEs.

        * gpc-options.h: new option `-fexecutable-file-name'.

        * gpc-parse.y: program_heading: derive the name of executable from the
          name of the program.
          return_statement: handle function return values with `Exit'.
          factor: undo dereference of strings, too (three places).

        * gpc-typeck.c: compatible_types_p(), compatible_assignment_p(),
          compatible_relop_p(): accept tree nodes rather than tree codes.  All
          three functions got prototypes.  Callers changed.
          comptypes(): Enumeral types must match exactly.

        * Peter Gerwinski: got engaged with Anja <anja@theo-phys.uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-util.c: executable_file_name: new variable.
          output_real_main_program(): return `int' rather than `void'.

        * rts/rts-rdsub.c: make `ReadStr' work with numbers.

Thu May 29 22:47:41 1997 J.J. van der Heijden <janjaap@zoo-station.student.utwent.nl>

        * Make-lang.in: New target: check
          executes the dejagnu based compiler testsuite.

Sun May 25 23:10:39 1997 J.J. van der Heijden <janjaap@zoo-station.student.utwent.nl>

        * Gave up on seperate pre-compiler driver idea because of conflicts
          with `--automake' feature. Will continue with a modified gcc.c,
          present as p/gpc.c

        * gpc.c: Implement Pascal dialect specific behaviour if `gpc' is
          invoked as `pc' (standard pascal), `epc' (extended pascal),
          `bpc' (borland pascal).
          Remove Pascal contribution to struct default_compilers[], this
          is handled through "lang-specs.h"
          Add `library' variable indicating that linking is requested, so
          "-lgpc -lm" can be added to the command line options. This
          eliminates the need for a special GPC link_command_spec and a
          special GPC "specs" file on some platforms (read: DJGPP).
          Add "-h" ("--help") option to show some info and most used options.

        * Make-lang.in: changes to build new compiler driver as `xgpc'
          Install target adds links for dialect specific driver names.

        * gcc.c: Add empty fallback rules {".pas", "#Pascal"},
          {".p", #Pascal"} rules to struct default_compilers[] to stop the
          dreaded "linker input file unused since linking not done" message
          for gcc drivers not supporting Pascal

          declarations.  prediscriminate_schema(): don't insist on VAR_DECLs
          or PARM_DECLs but accept any pointer-valued expression.

          for GNU_PASCAL in flag_what_pascal; implemented Delphi types.

        * gpc.gperf: disabled `Abstract'.

Sun May 18 14:30:44 1997 J.J. van der Heijden <janjaap@zoo-station.student.utwent.nl>

        * Make-lang.in: add site.exp and site.bak to `distclean' target.
          Add driver aliases PC_INSTALL_NAME, EPC_INSTALL_NAME,
          BPC_INSTALL_NAME, PC_CROSS_NAME, EPC_CROSS_NAME and BPC_CROSS_NAME.
          Used with (un)installation.

        * gcc.c: Move "automake" code back in from gpc.c.
          This saves one pass through the gcc driver.

Thu 10 May 1997 21:12  Peter Gerwinski [670510] <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-parse.y: TYPEOF: new token.

Tue Apr 29 16:59:34 1997 J.J. van der Heijden <janjaap@zoo-station.student.utwente.nl>

        * Reworked GPC directory layout. GPC lives in a `p/' subdirectory of
          the gcc distribution. Compiling GPC is now part of the GCC build
          proces. Run GCC `configure' as usual, then `make LANGUAGES=pascal'
          to build GPC.

          1) GPC had modified copies of some files of the GNU back end (GBE)
             in it's directory. The changes have been merged into GCC
             (surrounded by #ifdef GPC .. endif) and are distributed as
             `p/diffs/gcc-2.7.2.1.diff'. Affected files are:

                convert.c, dbxout.c, expr.c, fold-const.c, function.c,
                optabs.c, stor-layout.c and toplev.c

             These files have been deleted from the GPC directory.

          2) A number of files that implement the Pascal language were
             derived from C originals. These are gpc-*.c However, a number
             of new, GPC sepecific files were also named gpc-*. These have
             been renamed for clarity:
                gpc-gperf.c -> hash.h
                gpc-parse.y -> parse.y
                gpc-options.h -> lang-options.h
                gpc-util.c -> util.c

        * gpc-common.c: #include "parse.h" instead of "gpc-parse.h".

        * util.c: ditto.

        * gpc-lex.c: #include "parse.h" instead of "gpc-parse.h", and
          change #include "gpc-gperf.c" to "hash.h"

        * Make-lang.in: new file (top level makefile fragment for GPC)

        * config-lang.in: new file (top level configure fragment for GPC)

        * version.c: Complete rewrite.

        * Makefile.in: Complete rewrite.

Sun 20 Apr 1997 20:10  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-decl.c: c_decode_option(): "-fdebug_tree": debug_tree the

          superfluous code.  module_export_range(): re-written.
          module_repair_exported_ranges(): new function.

        * gpc-parse.y: optional_capacity_expression: renamed to
          optional_actual_schema_discriminants; removed superfluous code;
          convert string constants of length 1 to char constants.
          optional_schema_discriminants: renamed to
          optional_formal_schema_discriminants.
          type_definition: don't lay out bogus types (schema type templates);
          don't release schema discriminant identifiers here, but let
          build_schema_type do it.
          type_denoter: lay out schemata.
          subrange_type: take care of schema discriminants.  This affects

        * gpc-typeck.c: convert_arguments(): handle string values given to
          formal char parameters; handle char subranges; unused variable
          `val_is_char' removed.  Corrected typo: like in German, it's
          "schemata", not "schemas".  (Sorry! #-)  grok_discriminant(),
          re_layout_type(), build_discriminated_schema_type(): new functions.

        * gpc-util.c: assign_string(): handle char subranges.
          is_of_string_type(): corrected wrong warning.
          maybe_schema_discriminant(): new function.
          build_schema_type(): corrected wrong order of arguments; #-(
          re-wrote function more than once.
          build_pascal_array_ref(): handle strings being chars.
          rts-write(): handle subranges; `Byte', for instance, is a subrange
          of `Integer' and can be `writeln'ed now. :-)

          build_binary_op():

        * gcc.c: new spec "GPC1_SPEC" in the `specs' file is inserted

          output_real_main_program(): don't pass the language dialect
          to the run time system; instead, the arguments passed to `write'

          width is zero.

        * rts/rts.h: INT_OUT_WIDTH, REAL_OUT_WIDTH, BOOL_OUT_WIDTH: moved
          to gpc-defs.h because they are passed to `write' now.
          FALSE_str, TRUE_str, REAL_MIN_WIDTH: now redefinable at
          compile-time.  REAL_DEFAULT_DIGITS: new constant.  Language
          dialect constants removed.

          being Chars.

        * rts/rts-string.c: _p_string(): extract Chars with "va_arg (p, int)"

        * toplev.c: GPC-specific changes surrounded by `#ifdef GPC';
          "invalid option ..." messages changed back to "Invalid option ..."
          because these are not following a file name (see the GNU coding
          standard to complete the confusion).

Tue 1 Apr 1997 15:39  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-util.c: number_of_schema_discriminants(): check the

          module_export_clause(): implement `protected' export.

        * gpc-parse.y: subrange_type: accept character constants.

          convert_arguments(): handle value parameters passed by reference
          (currently only String Schemas) and constant values passed to a
          `Const' parameter; unsuccessful try to implement optional parameters.

        * Makefile.in: recompile library if its source was changed.

        * gpc-parse.y: for_statement: don't require `identifier's;

          `gpc_flag_what_pascal' with the value of `flag_what_pascal'.

        * rts/Makefile.in: don't cry for `rts-machine.h'.  It does not exist,
          and it is not needed anyway.

          value of `flag_what_pascal' when the main program was compiled.

Thu 27 Feb 1997 11:54  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-module.c: store_tree(): case IDENTIFIER_NODE, and load_tree():
          case IDENTIFIER_NODE: not IDENTIFIER_GLOBAL_VALUES must be carried
          through the GPI file, but IDENTIFIER_LOCAL_VALUES.

        * digest_init(): CHAR_TYPEs are scalar types, too.

Wed 26 Feb 1997 23:29  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * rts/rts-write.c: BSD does not like my FWRITE macro ...

          FUNCTION_TYPE: store flags last; case FUNCTION_DECL: store flags.
          load_tree(): case FUNCTION_DECL: retrieve flags (for methods).

          rest_of_unit: current_module is now set to NULL_TREE in
          module_declaration.
          rest_of_module: read GPM file.

        * gpc-typeck.c: output_init_element(), process_init_element():
          STRING_CSTs can initialize arrays of Chars, not of Integers.

          then for `Protected' to make `Const' work.

          TREE_PURPOSEs.  construct_set(): subrange types have no TYPE_DOMAIN.

          gpc-defs.h.  build_rts_call(): convert string constants to char
          constants for rts functions like `ord' which require ordinal
          values.  construct_vmt(): pass initializer as a TREE_LIST.
          invalid_pascal_initializer(), build_pascal_initializer():
          require a TREE_LIST.

          at the beginning of a line at the expense of losing
          `#<number>' line numbers without a blank between the `#'
          and the number.

        * gcc.c: default_compilers[]: default is to allow `#' character
          constants except with -fstandard-pascal, -fstandard-pascal-level0,
          -fextended-pascal, or -fobject-pascal.

Sat 15 Feb 1997 16:07  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-lex.c: yylex(): new case `#' to handle Borland-style
          `#42' character constants.

        * gpc-parse.y: moved CHAR_LITERAL from constant_literal to
          string_constant to allow strings like 'Foo'#$42'ar'.

Sat 15 Feb 1997 14:00  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-parse.y: parameter_form: String schemas are now a special
          case of `typename'.

        * gpc-util.c: declared_string_capacity(): new function.
          Prototype in gpc-defs.h.

Fri 14 Feb 1997 19:02  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-parse.y: type_denoter: treat String schemas here rather
          than separately. new_string_type: rule removed.  Token
          STRING_SCHEMA replaced by STRING_KEYWORD which is not actually
          used.  This is a preparation to implement the general schema
          type.

Fri 14 Feb 1997 12:07  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-decl.c: nested_comments: default is 1.
          c_decode_option(): new option -fno-nested-comments.

        * gpc-options.h: new option -fno-nested-comments.

        * gpc-cccp.c: no_nested_comments: default is 0.
          Option `-nestedcomments' changed to `-nonestedcomments'.

        * gcc.c: default_compilers[]: default is to allow nested comments,
          except with -fstandard-pascal, -fstandard-pascal-level0, or
          -fextended-pascal.

        * Makefile.in: gpc-cccp.o is dependent of gpc-cccp.c (*{!%@::}*),
          and toplev.o is dependent of gpc-options.h.

Thu 13 Feb 1997 12:09  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        "Cleaning up GPC":  Make clear from which standard which feature
        is, and allow the command line to specify which standard to use.
        `--extended-pascal' should yield a true Extended Pascal compiler
        (not yet reached); `--borland-pascal' should emulate a Borland
        compatible Pascal compiler (not yet reached either).

        * Most files: `warning's which should trigger errors with
          --pedantic-errors changed to `pedwarn'.  Search for `pedwarn'.

        * Most files: trigger pedantic `pedwarn's only if the dialect in
          which the construct would be valid is not specified in the
          command line.  New warnings about incompatibilities to Borland
          Pascal.  Some instances of "ISO Pascal does not allow this or that"
          corrected to "ISO 7185 Pascal does not allow this or that".  Search
          for `pedwarn', and especially look out for `PEDANTIC'.

        * gpc-defs.h: constants for Pascal dialects and combinations of
          them.  Search for `STANDARD_PASCAL'.  PEDANTIC: new macro.

        * gpc-decl.c, gpc-defs.h: new option `-fstandard-pascal-level-0'.

        * gpc-decl.c: c_decode_option(): new treatment of `-fXXX-pascal'
          options.

        * gpc.gperf: list of reserved words heavily modified to hold
          `unsigned long iclass' flags.

        * gpc-lex.c: which_language(): rewritten.  warning_list_languages():
          new function.  warn_about_keyword_redeclaration(): new function
          (called in gpc-parse.y).  enable_keyword(): take the value of
          flag_what_pascal into account.  init_language_specification():
          new function.  yylex(): recognition of reserved words rewritten.

        * gpc-parse.y: new_identifier_1: new rule.  new_identifer: rewritten.
          Lots of new tokens.

        * gpc-util.c: KItable [], declare_known_ids(): rewritten.  Define
          more types and other identifiers when the command line allows it.
          initialize_world(): call `init_language_specification'.

        * Makefile.in: GPERF_FLAGS: added -G.

Mon 10 Feb 1997 21:14  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-cccp.c, gpc-common.c, gpc-decl.c, gpc-lex.c, gpc-module.c,
          gpc-parse.y, gpc-typeck.c, gpc-util.c, toplev.c: changed text
          of warning and error messages to comply to the GNU guidelines.

Fri 7 Feb 1997 27:20  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-decl.c: grok_directive(): return the declaration node.
          gpc-defs.h, gpc-parse.y: object_method_heading and
          gpc-module.c: load_tree(): case FUNCTION_DECL adapted.

        * gpc-parse.y: absolute_or_value_specification_1: removed.

        * gpc-module.c: load_tree(): case FUNCTION_DECL: copy the node
          `t' before changing its DECL_NAME.

Fri 7 Feb 1997 20:35  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-parse.y: factor: call suspend_function_calls() after
          address_operator.  Otherwise you cannot take addresses of
          functions.

        * gpc-util.c: allow_function_calls(): new function.  At the
          moment, it isn't used anywhere.  gpc-defs.h adapted.

Fri 7 Feb 1997 19:27  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-util.c: const_string_schema_proto_type: new variable.
          initialize_world(): initialize it.  gpc-defs.h adapted.

        * gpc-typeck.c: convert_arguments(): check TYPE_MAIN_VARIANT (type)
          against string_schema_proto_type, not just type.

        * gpc-parse.y: declaring_statement: handle ABSOLUTE variables.
          I am sure this has been there already!

Fri 7 Feb 1997 18:10  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-nodes.def: new file; extracted from gpc-module.c.
          Also support the nodes in gpc-util.c.  Makefile.in adapted.

Thu 6 Feb 1997 26:10  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-typeck.c: construct_set(): catch errors when we know that we
          are constructing a set which does not fit in the target.

Thu 6 Feb 1997 24:15  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-convert.c: convert_sets(): really convert something.

        * gpc-typeck.c: comptypes(): all sets are compatible to the empty set.
          convert_for_assignment(): trigger conversion of sets if necessary.
          digest_init(): check sets, too.

Thu 6 Feb 1997 16:44  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-util.c: declare_vars(): do variable initialization in two
          steps: (1) check for a type mismatch and (2) build the constructor
          between start_decl and finish_decl.
          construct_vmt(): calls to build_pascal_initializer() removed.
          invalid_pascal_initializer(), process_init_list(): new functions.
          build_pascal_initializer(): rewritten from scratch.

        * gpc-defs.h: prototype for new function invalid_pascal_initializer().

        * gpc-parse.y: calls to build_pascal_initializer() removed.

Wed 5 Feb 1997 24:35  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-util.c: construct_vmt(): use NEGATE_EXPR instead of
          BIT_NOT_EXPR.  This will make runtime checks easier, one day.

Wed 5 Feb 1997 19:50  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * toplev.c: main(): new option `-dY'.  gpc-lex.c: yylex():
          implement `-dY' to copy finput to stderr after reading each
          token.  (Intended to help isolating compiler crashes.)

        * doc/invoke.texi: document `-dY'.

Sat 25 Jan 1997 23:30  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-parse.y: standard_function_statement: rts_file_open:
          check second parameter against `null_pointer_node', not
          against NULL_TREE.

        * rts/rts-write.c: _p_write(): Patched for MSDOS to allow
          `conio' operations.

        * rts/rts-bind.c: _p_bind(): Patched for MSDOS to allow to
          access devices.

Thu 26 Dec 1996 18:00  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * Changed all documentation files to comply to the FSF conventions
          for referring to operating systems.  Removed the files `FAQ',
          `FPKvsGNU', and `doc/fpk_vs_gnu.texi' for the same reason.

Thu 12 Dec 1996 00:07:10 MET  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>
             Jan-Jaap van der Heijden <j.j.vanderheijden@student.utwente.nl>
                                                 Jukka Virtanen <jtv@hut.fi>

        * Release of GNU Pascal version 2.0

Mon Nov 18 21:15:03 1996 Jan-Jaap van der Heijden <j.j.vanderheijden@student.utwente.nl>

        * config/msdos/gpc-version.c:
          Deleted. (automatically built now, like in unix)

        * config/msdos/Makefile:
          updated `clean' target to delete *.exe too

Mon 18 Nov 1996 19:47  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-parse.y: string_constant: new rule to convert CHAR_LITERALS
          into STRING_LITERALS for `asmname' specifications.
          storage_qualifier, directive: use string_constant instead of
          STRING_LITERAL.
          storage_qualifier: include D_EXTERNAL and D_ASMNAME.
          @@@ This must be re-written in a cleaner way.

        * test/borland_pascal/asmnames.pas: Check for `asmname' variables, too.

Sun 17 Nov 1996 20:06  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * Promoted to version 2.0, updated NEWS, etc.

        * old_doc: removed.

        * test/misc/txtfile.pas, test/misc/binfile.pas: remove
          " + Chr (0)" workaround in procedure assign.

Sun 17 Nov 1996 2:52  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * config/emx/*: use the DJGPP source distribution with 8.3 file
          names, so we do not need separate makefiles for FAT and HPFS
          partitions.  Scripts and documentation updated.

        * config/emx/rts-conf.h: #undef'ed HAVE_SETLINEBUF and
          HAVE_STRCASECMP.

Tue Nov 12 22:15:03 1996 Jan-Jaap van der Heijden <j.j.vanderheijden@student.utwente.nl>

        * Makefile.in, doc/Makefile.in:
          changes to info, info-clean, clean, distclean, info-distclean,
          install, install-info and bindist targets. Now all of them work
          when GPC isn't built in the source dir.

        * configure: rebuilt

        * configure.in, aclocal.m4: move BSD RTS selection to aclocal.m4,
          select BSD_RTS only if BSD is detected and "--with-bsdrts" switch
          is used.

        * config/cygwin32/README.beta16:
          Updated information for gcc-2.7.2.1

        * config/cygwin32/gcc-2.7.2.i386-cygwin32-b16.diff:
          replaced with gcc-2.7.2.1.i386-cygwin32-b16.diff

        * config/msdos/INSTALL.txt:
          New file, installation instructions for a GPC/djgpp binary dist.

        * config/msdos/Makefile, Makefile.rts:
          updated for djgpp v2.01. Less msdos fuss because djgpp now comes
          with GNU fileutils and shellutils. Recursing into subdirectories
          works without troubles now.

        * config/msdos/Makefile.doc:
          New file

        * config/msdos/README.dj, djgpp.env, rts-config.h, specs.gpc:
          updated for djgpp v2.01

        * configure.bat:
          add doc/Makefile, delete config/msdos/Makefile.doc

        * gcc.c:
          removed djgpp related mktemp() bugfix code; the problem is not
          mktemp() but the "obstack_grow (&obstack, t->suffix, t->length);"
          call (near line 3600) which was apparently EMX specific.

        * rts/rts-config.in, rts/rts.h:
          HAVE_SIGSYS: renamed to BSD_RTS

Sun 3 Nov 1996 23:15  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * doc/bpqstart.texi: documented alignment of record fields.

Thu 31 Oct 1996 17:20  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-typeck.c: comp_object_pointer_types(): use IS_OBJECT_TYPE
          instead of comparing TREE_CODE (...) == RECORD_TYPE (bug fix).

Tue 29 Oct 1996 16:15  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-defs.h: new flag PASCAL_TYPE_OPEN_ARRAY;
          new variable warn_void_dereference.

        * gpc-parse.y: open_array: array is flagged;
          variable_or_function_access_no_id: handle warn_void_dereference
          when pointers are explicitly dereferenced.

        * gpc-typeck.c: new variable warn_void_dereference;
          comptypes(): dont't check domain ranges of open arrays;
          build_indirect_ref(): warn about "untyped" rather than
          "void *" pointers and only if warn_void_dereference is
          nonzero.  This suppresses warnings when taking addresses
          of untyped parameters, e.g. with "&", "@", or ABSOLUTE.

        * doc/extend.texi, doc/bpqstart.texi, doc/bugs.texi, and
          test/borland_pascal/voidparm.pas updated.

Mon 28 Oct 1996 11:15  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * doc/bpqstart.texi: documentation about CASE and untyped
          parameters updated.

Sun 27 Oct 1996 22:13  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-parse.y: implemented untyped CONST and VAR parameters.
          Additional shift/reduce conflicts arise from error recovery
          rules.

Sun 27 Oct 1996 18:30  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-parse.y: flagged rules which cause shift/reduce conflicts:
          typed constant and variable initializers with '=', structured
          initializers with '(' ... ')', and error recovery rules.

Sun 27 Oct 1996 14:30  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-parse.y: case_statement: implemented ELSE branch.
          optional_semicolon_or_else_branch: new rule.

        * test/borland_pascal/caseelse.pas: new test program.
          test/borland_pascal/Makefile updated.

Sat 26 Oct 1996 20:30  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-parse.y: assignment_or_call_statement: handle return value
          assignments for method functions.
          object_section: fixed bug in call to grok_directive().
          variable_or_function_access_no_id: call also methods without
          an actual parameter list.

Thu 24 Oct 1996 13:44  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-module.c: load_tree(): case FUNCTION_DECL: fixed bug:
          load methods as "Objectname_Methodname" for the external
          declaration, but as "Methodname" only for the object's field.

Sun 19 Oct 1996 13:33  Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * config/emx/Make*.RTS: rename libgpc.a to gpc.a while installing
          and add -DHAVE_TIME to RTSFLAGS.

        * config/emx/Make*: rename libgpc.a to gpc.a while uninstalling.

        * gpc-util.c: get_main_program_name(): map "Name" to "program_Name"
          instead of "name" to avoid clashes with C library functions.

Sat 18 Oct 1996 16:25  Peter Gerwinski  <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * test/borland_pascal/Makefile changed to use the *installed* gpc

        * gpc-module.c: load_tree(): case FUNCTION_DECL: fixed bug
          when calling grok_directive()

        * config/emx/Make*.RTS: included gcc_bcmp.?

        * gcc.c: add_automake_files(): delete automake info file after use.
          The "%d" in the spec should already do this--bug in GCC?

Tue 17 Oct 1996 24:05  Peter Gerwinski  <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * Documentation: bugs.texi and fpk_vs_gnu.texi updated.

Tue Oct 10 16:04:58 1996 Jan-Jaap van der Heijden <j.j.vanderheijden@student.utwente.nl>

        * Integrated patches from Juki <jtv@hut.fi>. His own comments:

          Makefile.in     : Change GCCVERSION (might cause problems)
                            make info a .phony target
          configure.in    : Create doc/Makefile
                            the doc/Makefile needs to be renamed to
                            doc/Makefile.in and modified
          expr.c          : GCC one-line fix
          gpc-typeck.c    : GCC adds an error_init()
          stor-layout.c   : GCC bitfield alignment fix
                            because it does not
          doc/Makefile.in : rename doc/Makefile -> doc/Makefile.in
                            The makefile did not work when objects and sources
                            are in different directories. unfortunately
                            it still might not work as I did not have
                            all the necessary programs it uses so
                            I did not test it very much :-)

Sun Oct  6 15:18:30 1996 Jan-Jaap van der Heijden <j.j.vanderheijden@student.utwente.nl>

        * aclocal.m4, configure.in, Makefile.in: added tests for
          EXTRA_GCC_OBJS, USE_COLLECT2, MAYBE_USE_COLLECT2 and TARGET_DEFAULT

        * configure: rebuild.

Sun 29 Sep 1996 17:27  Peter Gerwinski  <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-parse.y: implemented multiple directives
          directive: ATTRIBUTE got optional parentheses
          directive_list: new rule
          optional_directive: changed to optional_directive_list
          function_declaration, function_interface_decl modified to
          use directive_list

        * gpc-decl.c: is_known_directive(), grok_directive(),
          start_pascal_function(): modified to handle multiple directives
          contains_forward_directive(): new function

Mon Sep 23 22:49:59 1996 Jan-Jaap van der Heijden <j.j.vanderheijden@student.utwente.nl>

        * gcc.c: main():  Changed to substitute the basename of the first
          input file for %b in link_command_spec not just for __EMX__
          It would crash the gpc driver in add_automake_files when only
          linking was requested.

        * Makefile.in: Disable -Dabort=fancy_abort per default.
          Possibly it is still enabled, but only if GCC defines it in
          config.h

        * tests/* : moved to tests/borland_pascal/
          tests/extended_pascal: new directory with Extended Pascal test(s).

        * rts/rts-times.c: enabled time related Extended Pascal functions
          per default. Use -DHAVE_NO_TIME to disable them again.

        * Makefile.in: 'make info' target changed to work, even when called
          from a different location.

        * README-bugs: new file (copied from GCC development tree)

        * configure : rebuilt

        * configure.in: misc. changes to allow building crosscompilers
          and crossbuilding the compiler without any additional switches
          to configure.

        * config/cygwin32/gcc-2.7.2.i386-cygwin32-b16.diff: new file.
          Apply to regular gcc-2.7.2 to add cygwin32-b16 support.

        * doc/how_to_contrib.texi: updated email address.

        * gcc.c, toplev.c, gpc-module.c: change all #define __WIN32__
          to __CYGWIN32__.  Now, cygwin32 defines _WIN32 and __CYGWIN32__

        * gpc-common.c: add prefix_attributes stuff.

        * rts/rts-file.c: for MS-DOS, EMX, Windows 95/NT: open all file
          types other than "text" in binary mode, to avoid corruption.

        * rts/rts-rt0.c: changes to RTS signal catcher. Signal catcher
          (temporarily ?) disabled.

Wed 11 Sep 1996 25:15  Peter Gerwinski  <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

Sat 7 Sep 1996  Peter Gerwinski  <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de>

        * gpc-parse.y: new token ASMNAME, used in storage_qualifier
          to pass a STRING_LITERAL to declare_vars() which is going
          to be the assembler name of a declared variable

        * gpc-util.c: declare_vars(): appreciate an assembler name
          for a variable in the TREE_PURPOSE of `qualifiers'

        * convert.c, dbxout.c, fold-const.c, function.c, optabs.c,
          stor-layout.c, toplev.c, gpc-lang.c, gpc-common.c,
          gpc-convert.c, expr.c, gpc-cccp.c:
          Upgraded to 2.7.2.

        * gpc-parse.y: Upgraded to 2.7.2.

          Added NULL_TREE parameters where attribute is
          expected in start_function(), start_decl,

          Merged more __EMX__ changes.

        * gpc-util.c: Upgraded to 2.7.2.

          Updated clear_storage() parameters.

          Added (currently) NULL_TREE parameters to match new attribute

          push_parm_decl() parameter changed.

        * gpc-typeck.c: Upgraded to 2.7.2.

          build_binary_op(); use build_type to set boolean result;
          removed boolean_result variable and changed the users of it.

          remove unecessary calls to emit_barrier().

          clear_storage() interface was changes, fix parameters.

          Fixed bugs in set code (crashed in alpha), the following loop
          construct mixed up the registers that were used inside
          the loop:

                  start:
                    insns
                    test-and-jump-to-start-if-required

                    jump-to-start
                  end:

          This seems to work much better. Perhaps I am was not doing something
          right in the first case???

          Output loop notes around loops.

          See the RCS diff to revision 1.4 for more info.

        * gpc.gperf: Added TURBO changes from Peter.

          Modified so that none of the BP_* reserved words are not recognized
          by default. So they have to be enabled, or be in the KItable to be
          treated as redefinable identifiers.

        * gpc-util.c: Merged changes from Peter (TURBO+others).
          (Incompatible with old rts, new is a function now)

          Fixed assign_string() when assigning a string to a char.

          Added initialization of objects created by new
          (it was removed from Peters code, but must be present).

        * gpc-parse.y: Merged TURBO changes from Peter.
          (I made a couple of fixes)

          Unfortunately there are still 12 shift/reduce conflicts and
          1 reduce/reduce conflicts. These have to be fixed!!!

        * gpc-lex.c: Merged TURBO changes from Peter.

        * rts/rts-heap.c: _p_new() is again a function.

          Call it in convert_for_assignment().

          Fixed some types in comments.

          Include object types in error messages.

          Don't require_complete_type() for VAR parameters in convert_arguments().

        * toplev.c: Added options:
          "-fborland-pascal",
          "-fpascal-sc",
          "-fextended-syntax",

          Make open_dump_file() use the routine.
          Strip of the original file suffix for __EMX__ systems in compile_file().
          Call _emxload_env() for __EMX__ systems in main().
          Don't run "ps" program for __EMX__ systems.

        * gpc-common.c: Added get_operator_identifier () routine.
          Map operator tokens to names in build_pascal_op().

        * gpc-util.c: Moved concat() routine here from parser.

        * gpc-parse.y: Moved concat() routine to gpc-util.c

Sat Apr  8 13:07:06 1995  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * DOCONF.kampi: Fixed comment about hppa1

Sat Apr  8 02:20:15 1995  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * GPC.GUIDE: Refer to borland2ep.doc.
          Document function string return bug.
          Clarify EXTERN and C directives.
          Document module visibility bugs.

        * gpc-module.c: find_module: Initialize fields after bzero()

        * gpc-decl.c: Rewrote forward pointer handling code.

        * gpc-lex.c:
          Modified code that informs of keywords handled as new_identifier.
          Removed obsolete NEW_IDENTIFER code.

        * gpc-parse.y: Reordered new_identifier.

        * PROBLEMS: Document the "file of 0..255" bug as a feature not
          yet fixed.

Mon Mar 27 00:30:41 1995  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * INSTALL: Request for gnu make usage.

        * INSTALL: Documented the ALPHA_BUG stuff.

        * Version.c: Alpha specific fix to something I don't know about.
          This bug occurred in OSF/1 V3.2 with gnu compilers.

Sat Mar 25 23:07:23 1995  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * Pascal-standards.FAQ: Initial revision

        * INSTALL: Added list item 0.

        * README.FIRST: Updated version number.

        * README: Removed obsolete comments.

        * PROBLEMS: Deleted references to fixed bugs.

Sat Mar 25 18:42:58 1995  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * gpc-util.c: Removed unused module globals -> moved to struct module.
          Also main program is now a module, changed all references to the
          previously global vars to access the per module struct
          current_module.

          New parameter: declare_vars() now knows if the var decl
          is in an interface module. Don't declare variables in
          an interface module, only generate external refs.
          Make unexported variables static.

          New file: Moved module code to gpc-module.c

          Added static directive.

        * gpc-defs.h: Added per module struct module.
          Export gpc-module.c global variables.
          Export d_<directives>.
          Deleted some unused external defs.
          Removed extern in front of function prototypes.

        * gpc-decl.c: Added static directive.
          Use d_forward instead of get_identifier("Forward");

        * gpc-module.c: Initial revision

        * Makefile.in: Added gpc-module.c and borland2ep.doc.

        * borland2ep.doc: Initial revision

        * gpc-parse.y: Added directive `static'.

          Adapted the new module state struct to the parser.

          Main program also has a module info record so it can be treated
          internally like a module.

          Removed now obsolete code for forward pointers.
          declare_vars() has one more parameter; changed callers. Now the
          interface only generates external refs for exported names if they are
          vars or functions. The actual declaration is done when the
          implementation module is seen.

Fri Mar 24 10:45:13 1995  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * Makefile.in: Run GNU Tar with z option.
          Include gpc-cccp.c in distribution.
          Renamed rts-readsub.c and rts-headers.h
          rule gpcdist rewritten (dist path includes version directory).

        * gnuvers.sh: Run whoami is $USER is not set.

        * NEW-PVS-LIST: Updated to 2.6.3.

Fri Mar 24 10:25:13 1995  Mr A. B. Force  <root@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * gpc-convert.c: Conversion of REFERENCE_TYPE required when compiling
          with -O6 in alpha (zap.pas). The problem is not fixed
          only documnted...

Thu Mar 23 21:03:06 1995  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * gpc-decl.c, gpc-util.c:
          Use IDENTIFIER_POINTER in pointer domain warning.

        * GPC.GUIDE: Added preprosessor initial doc.

        * toplev.c: added gpc options.

        * gpc-util.c, gpc-parse.y: Forward pointers reimplemented.

        * gpc-lex.c: Better error messages from directives.
          Added input_file_stack.
          Use routines in ctype.h.

        * gpc-defs.h: resolve_forward_pointer returns an int.

        * gpc-decl.c: Reimplemented forward pointer handling.

        * gcc.c: Support -fnested-comments option.

        * dbxout.c:
          Related to forward pointers:
          Removed overloading of TYPE_VFIELD.
          Added new routine dbxout_set_type_status() to
          set the TYPE_UNSEEN or TYPE_DEFINED to the typevec array
          element TYPE_SYMTAB_ADDRESS.

          This is done to prevent dbxout_type() from outputting
          LANG_TYPE stuff, and also to be able to output a stab
          to a forward referenced pointer twice (firt time it is
          not complete, the second one is).

          A better solution would be to make gdb understand
                  .stabs ":t<anumber>=<bnumber>",<whatever>


        * gpc-cccp.c: Added support for nested/no_nested pascal comments.

        * PROBLEMS: Updated, documented fwd pointer .stabs.

        * DOCONF.kampi: The machine architecture can be given as an argument.

Wed Mar 22 23:10:16 1995  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * Makefile.in: Fixed toplev.c.
          Modified preprosessor rules.

        * gpc-cccp.c: The language is not always reported to be ANSI C,
          but rather set in a variable.

Tue Mar 21 12:40:31 1995  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * gpc-parse.y: Report undefined function types.

Mon Mar 20 15:33:49 1995  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * toplev.c: Initial revision

        * stor-layout.c: Upgraded to version 2.6.3.
          Rewrote SET_TYPE handling.

        * optabs.c, gpc-typeck.c, gpc-lang.c, gpc-decl.c, gpc-common.c,
          function.c, fold-const.c, expr.c, dbxout.c:
          Upgraded to version 2.6.3.

        * gpc-cccp.c: Added option -nocharescape and support for it.
          Initialized -lang-asm.
          Added a missing break to skip_paren_group() line 7853.

        * gcc.c: Upgraded to version 2.6.3.

          Made gpc command run gpc-cpp preprosessor by default. (a test version
          of cccp.c). Added option -lang-pascal and (conditional option)
          -nocharescape to the cpp call sequence.

        * Makefile.in:
          Added rules to compile and install gpc version of cpp (gpc-cccp.c).
          The preprosessor is currently installed as: "gpc-cpp" although it
          should function as before if options -nocharescapes and/or
          -lang-pascal are not given.

        * gpc-cccp.c: First implemantation of { comments }.
          Don't complain of '\n'.

        * gpc-cccp.c: Added command line option '-lang-pascal'.
          If used:
                  Does not recognize C comments.
                  Does recognize (* comments *).

          This version does not recognize { comments }.

        * gpc-cccp.c: Initial revision

Sun Mar 19 17:34:07 1995  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * Makefile.in: Use unidiff (gdiff -u).

Fri Sep 30 00:59:40 1994  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * README.FIRST: 2.6.0 version

        * MOVE: Initial revision

        * stor-layout.c, optabs.c, gpc-typeck.c, gpc-decl.c, gpc-convert.c, gpc-common.c, gcc.c, function.c, fold-const.c:
          Upgraded to 2.6.0

        * expr.c(expand_expr)
          ABS_EXPR now checks if the type of the argument is a complex
          type to see if it needs to call expand_complex_abs instead
          of the result type of the ABS_EXPR. The mode of the operand is
          passed to expand_complex_abs() instead of the mode of the
          result.

        * gpc-typeck.c(build_unary_op)
          the ABS_EXPR does not return a complex value when
          the argument is of complex type.
          Now ABS_EXPR is of the type of the component type.

        * expr.c(expand_expr)
          CONJ_EXPR used the complex mode to extract the real
          and imaginary parts of the complex number instead
          of the component mode.

        * expr.c: Upgraded to 2.6.0.

        * dbxout.c, convert.c: Upgraded to 2.6.0

        * Makefile.in: gcc.o needs $(version). Initialize it.

        * ChangeLog: *** empty log message ***

        * PROBLEMS: Removed sparc.h patch requests; the change is merged.

        * GPC.GUIDE: Documented more bugs...

Wed Sep 28 23:22:19 1994  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * PROBLEMS: Updated to 2.6.0.

        * INSTALL, ChangeLog: Updated to 2.6.0

Fri Jan 28 11:48:46 1994  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * Makefile.in: Added MY_LIBFLAGS

        * gpc-util.c:
          r_EXPON and r_POW did not check left operand type. r_EXPON now
          converts left int operand to double.

Wed Jan 26 18:41:21 1994  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * gpc-decl.c: Added empty routine resolve_forward_pointers().

        * GPC.GUIDE: *** empty log message ***

        * gpc-parse.y:
          HMM: type node = integer; procedure z; type p = ^node; node = boolean;
               does not work!!!
               Some minor changes for this, not completed.

        * INSTALL: *** empty log message ***

        * Makefile.in: Version 1.04.

        * gpc-typeck.c:
          default_conversion: convert CHAR_TYPE and BOOLEAN_TYPE to integer.

          compatible_types_p(), compatible_relop_p() and
          compatible_assignment_p(): new routines.

          convert_arguments: Don't promote prototypes before parameter type
          and value are checked with convert_for_assignment().

          build_binary_op: Use typecodes of the base_types, not types.
                           Use compatible_*_p() routines to check operand
                           compatibility.
                           For short_compare, convert values to boolean if the
                           operator so requires.

          build_unary_op:  Convert subrange array index to integer when arr[i]
                           is converted to &a+i.

          convert_for_assignment: Use base_types, not types.
                                Use compatible_assignment_p().

        * gpc-util.c: Removed fold from fold(build_binary_op())

        * gpc-common.c: Cosmetic :-)

        * gpc-defs.h:
          IS_BOOLEAN now accepts only BOOLEAN_TYPE code. (later got rid of this)

        * Makefile.in: Added function.c to ind-diff rule.

        * expr.c: emit_string_pad: Fixed the fence post error in padding.

Sun Jan 23 05:01:57 1994  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * GPC.GUIDE: *** empty log message ***

        * gpc-parse.y: index_expression_list: support array slice access.

        * gpc-util.c: New (static) routine: build_array_slice_ref
          Support for substring variables (implementation should support
          slice accesses for any arrays...)

          build_pascal_array_ref calls build_array_slice_ref.

Fri Jan 21 23:57:37 1994  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * gpc-util.c:
          init_any: properly initialize string schemas that are part of a
          structured object created dynamically.

Thu Jan 20 18:25:11 1994  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * NEW-PVS-LIST: *** empty log message ***

        * Makefile.in: Version number to 1.03

        * JUKI, GPC.GUIDE: *** empty log message ***

        * gpc-common.c:
          build_binary_op: Accept CHAR_TYPE objects in string operations.
          implemented string catenations.

        * GPC.GUIDE: *** empty log message ***

        * gpc-common.c: byuuild_pascal_op() and build_pascal_unary_op() call
          probably_call_function() in expressions.

        * gpc-decl.c:
          start_pascal_function: don't inform user of possible external &
          forward directive mixing; the warning was also given when a nested
          routine had an "external" definition.

        * expr.c: emit_string_pad: new argument PAD specifies the char value to
          pad with.

        * gpc-typeck.c:
          convert_arguments: string type argument handling rewritten, allows
          different length fixed string matching.

          Use base_type() instead of set_base_type().

        * gpc-defs.h:
          PASCAL_STRING_LENGTH now returns the length of any string object.

        * gpc-util.c:
          Added prototypes for emit_string_{move,pad} in expr.c (-> tree.h?)

          Deleted set_base_type(), modified base_type ()

          assign_string(): allow char_type target.

          Now PASCAL_STRING_LENGTH returns length of any pascal string type
          object -> use it.

          emit_string_pad: new argument, char to pad with.

          string_by_model: call init_any() only for variable string types.

          handle_formal_param_list: Don't crash when type is error mark node
          and this is a var parameter.

          build_rts_call: Direct access file index must be of same base type
          than seek index.

          Added probably_call_function(): when a function id is used in an
          expression in an actual parameter list it should be always evaluated.

Tue Jan 11 09:53:54 1994  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * configure, Makefile.in: Conditionalize making of rts subdir.

        * gpc-typeck.c: Allow IN_EXPR for sets of non-integer subranges.

        * gpc-parse.y: Prevent crash when subrange type defined erroneously.

          Don't give spurious error messages when undefined
          variables are used.

          Export identifier must be followed by an equal sign.
          Give warning if not.

          If import_specification has reported an error, don't call
          import_interface() with a NULL identifier.

Mon Jan 10 22:16:10 1994  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * DOCONF.kampi, DOCONF.example: Use DOCONF\..* in SRC generation.

        * JUKI: *** empty log message ***

        * Makefile.in: Version changed to 1.02.

        * Makefile.in: Deleted rts-util.c, added contrib

        * convert.c:
          Convert the REFERENCE_TYPE to POINTER_TYPE in gpc-convert.c,
          not here.

        * gpc-convert.c:
          Convert the REFERENCE_TYPE to POINTER_TYPE here, not in convert.c.

        * gpc-lex.c:
          Don't complain about underscores starting a predefined word.

        * gpc-typeck.c:
          Removed the 'anything to implicit-void-pointer conversion'-kludge.

          Instead, any pointer value passed to a void pointer is ok.

          A __cstring__ parameter should now work as specified.

        * gpc-defs.h: New prototypes.

        * gpc-parse.y:
          Use maybe_make_static() for non-exported routines in a module.

          Use a proto empty_arglist for function pointer calls without args.

        * gpc-util.c: Added __cstring__.

          Added empty_arglist and PASCAL_PROCEDURE_PARAMETER for procedure
          params && function_pointers and make them work together. Modified
          handle_formal_param* and maybe_call_function to use these.

          Added free_interface list. Check is an implementation already exists.
          Added maybe_make_static().

        * NEW-PVS-LIST: Snapshot closing.

        * GPC.GUIDE: snapshot closing.

Thu Dec 30 23:32:29 1993  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * gpc-typeck.c:
          Allow IN operation for sets of non-integer subrange types.

          Kludge `void *' causes implicit pointer conversions. This will
          be removed.

        * GPC.GUIDE: *** empty log message ***

        * convert.c: Allow more conversions from CHAR_TYPE and BOOLEAN_TYPE.
          This is because real type conversions of ord(char_type_variable)
          strip the conversion to int and try direct conversion to double ->
          char_type must convert to real_type. Similarly the boolean_type
          must work.

        * gpc-common.c: Added pascal_type_extension().

          Changed pascal_type_variant() to use TYPE_QUALIFIER_*.

        * gpc-defs.h: Changed VARIANT_* to TYPE_QUALIFIER_*. Added some more.

        * gpc-util.c: Renamed VARIANT_= to TYPE_QUALIFIER_*

          Predefined structure definitions made simpler by macro DO_FIELD.
          Added filed 'Size' to BindingType.

          File PARAM_DECLs to binding routines allowed always.
          Should check if the actual parameter type is bindable.

          Added type qualifiers to KItable.

          Added name_exported_by_current_module_p ().

        * gpc-parse.y: Added type qualifiers: __unsigned__,__long__ etc.

          Routines that re not exported from a module get the storage class
          static, i.e. they won't be visible outside the file.
          This is still not good enough: the visibility should be limited
          inside the module, and many modules could be in one file.

Tue Dec 28 18:45:59 1993  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * gpc-parse.y: Handling of type qualifiers changed.
          build_unary_op() -> build_pascal_unary_op().
          build_binary_op() -> build_pascal_op().
          Resticted types implemented.

        * GPC.GUIDE: *** empty log message ***

        * gpc-common.c: build_pascal_op(): know restricted types.
          Added build_pascal_unary_op().
          Rewrote pascal_type_variant().

        * gpc-defs.h: Added PASCAL_TYPE_RESTRICTED.
          Added build_pascal_unary_op() proto.

        * gpc-util.c:
          The name of file can't be passed if it has none; e.g. the file
          is allocated with NEW from heap. In this case pass the name
          "<Allocated from heap>". In other cases (?) pass the name
          "<Name unknown>". The name of an internal file is not used
          by the runtime system; it is only passed for debugging purposes.

Mon Dec 27 13:32:25 1993  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * gpc-util.c: build_file_type supports direct access files.

          position and lastposition implemented. Seek* implemented.

          Binding,bind and unbind implemented.
          BindingType implemented.

          Always pass the internal file name for the run time system, not only for
          external files.

          maybe_call_function accepts also arguments. Function always called if
          arguments are present.

          BindingType contains field Error. (Not yet updated)

          Accept __void__ as well as Void.

        * gpc-defs.h:
          maybe_call_function and build_file_type interface changed.

        * GPC.GUIDE: *** empty log message ***

        * gpc-parse.y:
          Implemented function pointers. To get the syntax I wanted required
          combining assignment and procedure calls. (Lots of changes!)

          Added direct access files.

          WITH element may be a function_access.

Sun Dec 19 07:26:11 1993  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * GPC.GUIDE: Documented binding(s).

        * gpc-util.c:
          Use pascal_type_variant(): grok_packed, pascal_conformant_type(tilt)
          Added binding runtime calls.
          Added is_of_string_type(). is_string_type() uses this.
          defined gpc_type_BINDINGTYPE.
          Fixed associate_external_objects().

        * gpc-common.c: Added pascal_type_variant().

        * gpc-parse.y: Added BINDABLE to type_denoter. (@@ Does not work yet)
          Added p_BINDING, p_UNBIND, p_BIND.

        * gpc-defs.h: Define PASCAL_TYPE_BINDABLE. Uses LANG_TYPE_3.
          Define BINDING_NAME_LENGTH.
          Define VARIANT_* values for pascal_type_variant().
          Deleted unused headers.
          Added some protos.

        * Makefile.in: Added rts-bind.c

        * gpc-decl.c: added top_level_p()

Wed Dec 15 21:45:45 1993  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * dbxout.c: Disabled warning in GPC specific code.

        * dbxout.c, function.c, fold-const.c, expr.c: 2.5.7

        * gpc-util.c: Rewrote stdio (many changes).

          Constructor collect (many changes).

          Added storage qualifiers.

        * gpc-parse.y: Rewrote stdio.

          primary used primary, should have been factor.

          storage qualifiers.

          Allow any declaration order also in the main program.
          deleted rules that were thus left over.

          Allow module parameters.

          runid in module initialized (gpc extension).

        * gpc-defs.h: Added some protos for routines for new stdio.

        * gpc-decl.c: Added static_id and extern_id.
          Allowed static and extern variable declarations.
          Added de_capitalize().

        * gpc-lex.c:
          Underscore warnings changed (don't warn is the underscore is
          in a "reserved" word.

Sun Dec 12 02:38:56 1993  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * ChangeLog, GPC.GUIDE: *** empty log message ***

        * gpc-parse.y: Added D_C_LANGUAGE

        * gpc-util.c:
          Run time system calls should now support value parameters that
          are functions returning variable length strings.

          Added D_C_LANGUAGE.

        * gpc-lex.c: Warn of empty string literals only if pedantic.

Sun Dec 12 02:17:19 1993  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv@kampi.hut.fi)

        * Support run time system flag -i ARG so that when ARGs run out
          rts continues from the original standard input.

        * Implemented pascal module paramstr.p that returns command
          line arguments to user program.

        * gpc-util.c
          Convert value parameter string parameters to pointers
          with build1() not built_unary_op(); this makes it possible
          to pass arrays or strings that are returned by functions.

        * rts/rts-rt0.c(_p_initialize)
          Hack run time arg support.

        * rts/rts-misc.c
          Added _p_paramstr and _p_paramcount functions
          for command line access.

Sat Dec 11 19:24:05 1993  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * gpc-decl.c: added is_knonw_directive().

        * gpc-defs.h: Added is_known_directive().

        * gpc-parse.y:
          Removed don't call error("improperly formatted..."); the problem
          should be reported anyway. The verbose (repeated) output of these was
          confusing.

          Allow directive names be recognized even if they are redefined.

        * GPC.GUIDE: *** empty log message ***

        * GPC.GUIDE: p660 fixed; evaluation order AB instead of UNKNOWN.

        * gpc-util.c: Indentation changed when I cancelled the change
          I made to reorder string schema fields.

        * Makefile.in:
          The run time system is compiled with the xgcc that matches GPC.
          (Value parameter complex types in the runtime system require this)

        * setop.c:
          Call save_expr() for set elements/ranges to avoid computing their
          values multiple times.

Sat Dec 11 05:30:36 1993  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv@kampi.hut.fi)

        * Makefile.in
          Always compile the run time system with the $(gccdir)/xgcc

        * setop.c(store_set_constructor)
          Call save_expr() for the elements/ranges.

        * rs-6000.c
          Kenner fixed the constant double loading bug I reported
          for RS-6000.

        * gpc-parse.y
          Fixed a bug that crashed gpc1 when using an undefined
          name as type.

          Parse directives correctly even if the name has been redeclared
          by the user.

          Allow directives in routine definition in module interface.

        * rts complex value parameter passing
          Use __complex__ double for input values instead of
          a struct. E.g. sparc uses different techiques to pass
          record_type and complex_type causing a crash if they are
          not the same.

Fri Dec 10 23:53:56 1993  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * dbxout.c: SET_TYPE domain is output with stabs, not the type
          (bothner@cygnus.com)

        * gpc-parse.y:
          typename error handling caused an segfault when error_mark_node
          was accessed with DECL_INITIAL.

Thu Dec  8 05:20:45 1993  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv@kampi.hut.fi)

        * Snapshot 2.5.6 made available at kampi.hut.fi

Wed Dec  8 15:56:14 1993  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * GPC.GUIDE: *** empty log message ***

        * gpc-parse.y:
          Allow directives in routine headers in module interfaces.

        * Makefile.in: Argh, added missing rts-zmath.c to RTSFILES.

        * Makefile.in, GPC.GUIDE: *** empty log message ***

        * gpc-gperf.c: Regenerated with object c word symbols.

        * gpc-util.c:
          grok_packed() now packs array_types in sequence of the argument type.
          assign_string() did not check what the other argument was.
          added number_of_schema_discriminants(). (Only for strings.)
          Made NEW() work for ^string.
          Mark knownid_decls with TREE_USED to avoid -Wall unused info.
          Added object pascal words to known id table.

        * gpc-typeck.c: Changed some message texts in record type warnings.
          (+some code movements)

        * gpc-parse.y: Added object pascal reserved words and defined symbols.
          Handle ^string.
          POW and ** now parsed as standard requires. (a factor)

        * gpc-defs.h: Define PASCAL_OBJECT.
          Altered language id numbers.

        * gpc-lex.c: added last_id_value to handle ^string.
          added routine which_language()
          If -pedantic, warn about identifiers that are reserved words
          on some more advanced pascal gpc knows about.

        * gpc-decl.c: signed vs unsigned char cmdline flag changes.

          don't warn for control reaching end of function.

        * Makefile.in:
          make gpc-parse.{c,h} to $(srcdir) so that bison is not needeed
          everywhere when gpc is built.

Tue Dec  7 15:28:44 1993  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * gpc.gperf:
          Added OBJECT PASCAL reserved words with PASCAL_OBJECT level.

        * Makefile.in: Generate gpc-gperf.c to $(srcdir)

Mon Dec  6 23:55:47 1993  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * INSTALL: 2.5.6

        * README, GPC.GUIDE: *** empty log message ***

        * gpc-parse.y: Allow string (. expression .) for string ( expression )

          Allow case defaults in variant records.

        * expr.c: Added new routine emit_string_pad().

          Added new routine emit_string_move ().
          (BUILT_IN_MEMCPY should perhaps call this).

        * gpc-util.c:
          call emit_string_pad() toblank pad fixed strings in assignment.

          call emit_string_move() to move strings, because they might have
          different machine mode depending on size. Standard requires that
          all strings are compatible.

Tue Nov 30 15:36:00 1993  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * gpc-decl.c: Allow functions returning array_type.

          In grokdeclarator() don't build new array_type
          for type qualifiers. This breaks assignment
          to array_type function return values.
          (maybe this fix is not correct)

        * gpc-parse.y:
          Added variable_or_function_access to support function-access.

        * gpc-util.c:
          Fixed component access of string schema (build_pascal_array_ref).

        * GPC.GUIDE: *** empty log message ***

        * gpc-parse.y:
          Partial implementation of module constructors and destructors.

        * gpc-parse.y: expect 11 shift/reduce conflicts. 8 From error handling
          and 3 from being able to redefine PROTECTED.

          Changed PRIVATE to RESTRICTED.

          Defined tokens for directives.

          Deleted UNIMPLEMENTED.

          Rewrote rules for extended pascal modules.
          Added actions to module support.

        * gpc-util.c: Initialize_world() calls declare_known_ids().

          KItable lists all known directives.
          Removed extra "Sqr" from KItable.

          Added first implementation of extended pascal modules.

        * gpc-gperf.c: *** empty log message ***

        * gpc-defs.h:
          added prototypes for module_export_clause, module_export_range,
          import_interface and export_interface.

        * gpc-decl.c:
          declare_known_ids() is now called from initialize_world().

        * gpc-common.c:
          build_pascal_op() now handles comparisons of any string or char type.

        * gpc-util.c: Call runtime system for blank padded string comparisons.

        * gpc-util.c: initialize_world() is now called from lang_init().

          Allow variable length strings as file name
          in reset,rewrite and extend runtime system calls.

        * gpc-parse.y:
          Allow string capacity expression also in brackets. Many compilers
          seem to have it like this.

        * GPC.GUIDE: *** empty log message ***

        * GPC.GUIDE: Inserted the comments by Yucca.

Sat Nov 20 02:35:15 1993  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * gpc-util.c:
          Added a parameter to new_string_by_model(): copy is 1 if data is
          copied.

          Try to use variable string LENGTH instead of capacity.
          No idea yet if this works.

          handle_formal_conf_array_param_list: new parameter.
          handle_formal_param_list: new parameter.
          Added protected parameter handling.

          Modified p_TRIM, p_SUBSTR: not working yet.

          Added calls to complex funs in rts.
          Added p_ARG, p_POLAR, r_POW, r_EXPON, z_*.
          p_SQRT,p_SQR/p_ABS and trig funs accept complex.

        * gpc-parse.y:
          Added tokens r_POW and r_EXPON z_ARCTAN z_COS z_EXP z_LN z_SIN z_SQRT
          z_POW z_EXPON

          Added optional_protected, optional_sign,
          parameter_form (old typename_or_string).

          Modified parameter parsing to make protected work.

          Added type_inquiry to parameter_form.

          POW and EXPON may be incorrectly parsed: standard requires
          both sides be FACTOR, gpc is more generic (and possibly
          incorrect).

          PROTECTED returns ttype.

        * gpc-defs.h:
          Added one int parameter (protected) to handle_formal_param_list()
          and handle_formal_conf_array_param_list().

          Added one int parameter (copy) to new_string_by_model().

        * gpc-common.c: Support EXPON_EXPR in build_pascal_op.

        * GPC.GUIDE: *** empty log message ***

        * optabs.c:
          Fixed the 'mode' bug when calculating abs value of complex type
          when we have a handler for SQRT.

        * gpc-typeck.c: Added the new parameter to new_string_by_model().

        * gpc-decl.c: Minor mods in variant tag info lang_decl allocation.

          Changed type_denoter to return a tree list of
          (init, type) instead of type.

          Stored type initializers in TYPE_DECL DECL_INIT field;
          I think that is not otherwise used for these nodes.

          @@@ Some initializers are not perhaps accepted, like
          function foo: type; but I do not know if it should be
          (initializing the return value of function?)

        * gpc-lex.c: Check for EOF while parsing a string.

Tue Nov 16 00:53:56 1993  Jukka Virtanen  <jtv@lerppu.hut.fi>

        * gpc.gperf: Added otherwise. Clarified comments.

        * gpc-defs.h: Deleted EXTERNAL_NAME_PREFIX_FLAG.
          Added some extern definitions.

Tue Sep 28 23:27:20 1993  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv@gamma.hut.fi)

        * stor-layout.c(layout_type)

          SET_TYPE aligned TImode sets in Alpha. I do not
          support that, at least not yet. Now TYPE_MODE
          can be either word_mode or BLKmode.
          (fixes 143 in alpha)

        * setop.c(setop_empty)

          Used TREE_INT_CST_HI instead of TREE_INT_CST_LO
          (151 now passes in test hosts)

Mon Sep 27 03:06:45 1993  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv@vipunen.hut.fi)

        * GPC Version changed to 0.95

        * Updated: INSTALL, PROBLEMS, NEW-PVS-LIST

        * Initial port of gpc for hp-pa,alpha,rs-6000 and mips.

          Run pvs tests, not so bad for a first run on each host :-)
          HP-PA is compiled with gcc-2.4.5.u5 (Utah version 5,
          using --with-gnu-gas option for the configure)

        * gpc-util.c(init_util)

          language_string must be "GNU PASCAL" instead of
          "GNU Pascal" or rs-6000 backed will abort(). Sigh.

Fri Sep 24 01:52:54 1993  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv@gamma.hut.fi)

        * configure

          Find out the library directory by running "xgcc -v"

        * setop.c (store_set_constructor):

          When shifting left bit masks on the alpha, do not use
          integer_type_nodes, use sizetype nodes instead or
          the upper 32 bits values will be zeroed.

        * gpc-typeck.c (build_component_ref):

          Use routine find_field() to locate fields of the referenced
          record, rather than the binary search algorithm. Necessary
          for implementing WITH statement.

        * setop.c

          Added macro GET_MODE_2(a,b) to select the mode that
          is not VOIDmode of two rtx values. (e.g. if calling
          emit_cmp_insn() with low and high bound one of which
          may be a CONST_INT.

Thu Sep 23 21:21:57 1993  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv@gamma.hut.fi)

        * setop.c

          Used word_mode in places where I should have taken the mode
          with GET_MODE.

        * setop.c (expand_set_comparison):

          EQ_EXPR compared BLKmode and DImode incorrectly causing abort.

        * stor-layout.c (layout_type):

          SET_TYPE is always aligned to GET_MODE_ALIGNMENT(word_mode)

          If TYPE_MODE does not require BLKmode it is always
          set to word_mode.

        * setop.c (setop_copy):

          Passed int value to setop_vector_adjust.

Thu Sep 23 02:25:15 1993  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv@kampi.hut.fi)

        * Upgraded to GCC-2.4.5

Tue Sep 21 20:48:15 1993  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv@kampi.hut.fi)

        * Fixed problems in inline setop operations (setop.c).

          Now gpc-2.4.3.1 compiles the Pax compiler (25000 lines
          of Pascal code) so that the produced Pax compiler
          was able to compile a simple "hello.pas" program.

          All set operations are now generating inline code.
          the run time system file rts-set.* is now present only
          for debugging. See code.

        * Time has passed again...

Sun Dec 13 05:38:36 1992  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv@kampi.hut.fi)

        * Massive hack attack.

          - Started rewriting set code
          - added Bill's syntax error handling to parser
            (with some enhancements)
          - fixed in_expr
          - implemented store_constructor() for sets.
          - added a complex divide optimization (as suggested by rms)
          - fixed run time system bugs
            (sets, integer default width)

Sun Mar 15 03:42:28 1992  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * expr.c(expand_expr)

          When copying sets convert source set mode to GET_MODE(target)
          (Maybe sets should be laid out as the basetype specifies,
          rather than number of elements. This would simplify inline
          code when it's implemeted)

        * gpc-util.c
          Fixed -fsetlimit:NN

        * gpc-lex.c
          Fixed '(.' symbol to return LBRACKET.
          Fixed '.)' symbol to return RBRACKET (also after digit).

Fri Mar 13 08:02:28 1992  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * dbxout.c(dbx_type_fields)

          Support variant records.

        * gpc-parse.y,gpc-util.c,gpc-typeck.c

          Implemented conformant arrays. Still some bugs exist
          for multi-dimensional arrays.
          (gcc-2.0 bug: nested routines cannot take variable
           length array parameters. Notified rms)

        * gpc-lex.c, rts/gpc_read.c

          Fixed reading of floating point numbers like:
          0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000123456789
          since atof() does not read these right.

        * gpc-decl.c(resolve_forward_pointer),dbxout.c

          Hacked forward pointer stab generation. -g option
          is no longer known to crash the compiler.

Sat Mar  7 06:04:16 1992  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * Nested routine doing non-local goto's crashed
          gcc-2. Notified rms. (fixed with patch to stmt.c)

        * Changed version to 0.08

          State: 4 Pascal validation suite conformance tests fail.
          (In i386 Mach 3.0 (mk70/ux28))

        * Fixed more bugs :-)

          Boolean layout, array index type, etc.

        * Upgraded to gcc-2.0 public release

Sat Feb  1 21:54:01 1992  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * gpc-parse.y
          Does not contain any calls to momentary_obstack routines
          (push, pop or clear) since I did not manage to
          get them right. This is stupid, but works better
          than previously. (Yes, it will consume some more memory)

Mon Jan 20 07:50:29 1992  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * gpc-common.c (combine_strings)

          Fixed typo in counting string lengths.

Sun Jan 19 18:15:27 1992  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * gpc-util.c (construct_set)

          call runtime routines with varargs arguments.

        * rts/gpc_set.[hc]

          Made _p_set_single and _p_set_range to accept variable number
          of elements/ranges.

          All set args are passed as struct pointers. See rts/gpc_set.h

          Deleted set_headers.

Sat Jan 18 14:40:55 1992  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * expr.c

          Parameter count to emit_cmp_insn() inreased by 2.

        * expr.c (expand_expr)

          FIX_ROUND_EXPR call to emit_cmp_insn missed GE !!!

        * many *.c files

          Set library calls parameters are now out of date. FIX!!!
          (e.g. add the lower & size params for each set type object)

Fri Jan 17 00:54:21 1992  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * gpc-decl.c (grok_directive)

          Fixed forward directives.

          Extern directives STILL mess around with the
          external symbol name. (It wants to output the
          name without uppercasifying the first char.
          This needs to be done properly)

        * gpc-decl.c, gpc-parse.y
          Now parser call pop_label_level() and push_label_level()
          Fixed clearing of named_labels.
          (This fixed spurious error messages in some PVS tests)

        * gpc-decl.c (init_decl_processing)

          Fixed initializing of wchar_type_node
          (Caused NULL dereferencing).

          Added routine get_identifier_with_blank() that
          creates identifiers with leading blank (i.e. they
          cannot appear as tokens) for adapting for different
          types of WCHAR_TYPE definitions.

        * Upgraded to gcc-1.96 snapshot 354

Mon May  6 01:13:34 1991  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * tree.c is language independent again.

Mon May  3 17:18:55 1991  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * gpc-lex.c, gpc-typeck.c, expr.c
          Implemented complex conjugate as an extension.

        * optabs.c(expand_unop)
          Implemented complex negation.

Thu May  2 02:13:42 1991  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * expr.c(emit_move_insn)
          The #if 0'd code that moves things in parts is quite ok
          for moving complex numbers, so I have enabled it for GPC.
          It has a bug in it, that erroneously uses `x' when
          it should use `y' when computing `y1' with change_address().
          @@@ Not reported yet, check that this interpretation is correct.

Wed May  1 17:23:44 1991  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * expr.c(expand_expr)
          Checked COMPLEX_EXPR, REALPART_EXPR, IMAGPART_EXPR and CONJ_EXPR.

        * optabs.c(expand_binop)
          Fixed the complex type binops. Divide was incorrect.

Tue Apr 16 00:18:45 1991  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * gpc-util.c(construct_set)

          Implemented set bounds of integer set constructors
          to adjust with the min and max values of the constants
          in the constructor. (It does not yet handle checking
          of subrange variable element bounds)

        * Cleaned up language depended files

        * Updated LANG_IND_CHANGES file. It contains information of
          what has changed in language independent files and why.

Mon Apr 15 01:43:31 1991  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * expr.c(expand_expr)
          Implemented a test version of inline IN_EXPR.
          If variable in_line is nonzero, use this code,
          else use the libcall (default).

          The inline code seems to work if -O is not used. Sigh.
          Note: It crashed because try_combine used an
                uninitialized variable. The bug is propably
                fixed, since newest combine.c(try_combine) looks
                very different from this one.

Sun Apr 14 17:25:02 1991  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * gpc-lex.c(yylex) gpc-typeck.c(build_binary_op_nodefault)
          Changed lex to return RDIV_EXPR when "/" seen.
          Fixed handling of "/" operator when at least one argument is
          integer. Standard requires that the result is of real type.

Sat Apr 13 18:05:52 1991  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * rts/gpc_set.c rts/gpc_set.h
          Re-implemented the runtime set library to use
          word aligned bit vectors.

        * gpc-typeck.c (convert_arguments)
          Implemented passing of set constructors.

        * gpc-parse.y, gpc-decl.c (build_enumerator)
          In Pascal we need to know the original type of the
          enumerated type elements. (For set constructors to
          build the correct type of set of enumerated elements)

Fri Apr  5 02:49:41 1991  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * gpc-util.c (init_simple)
          Converted the file buffer size to bits when the file
          is packed. I forgot to do this when I started to
          flag packed types.

Tue Apr  2 02:17:17 1991  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * gpc-util.c (pascal_unpack_and_pack)
          expr.c (emit_block_move)
          Implemented pascal PACK/UNPACK routines.

        * tree.c (array_type_nelts)
          Note: Nobody uses this routine in gcc.
          However, it assumes that the arrays are of length
          max-min, although for me they are max-min+1 long.
          Thus I can't use it either, so created
          gpc-util.c (pascal_array_type_nelts)

        * gpc-util.c (check_identifier)
          Fixed the problem with WITH statement that caused
          core dumps. (check if the identifier is overloaded
          in the WITH statement)

        * function.c (expand_start_function)
          Rms responded with a fix for the bug I reported.
          Now all nested function dependent conformance tests
          pass.

Sat Mar 30 12:28:19 1991  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * Reported a bug to rms: GCC fails to assign values to
          upper level variables from nested functions.
          (This causes GPC to fail now on pvs conformance test p029.pas)

        * gpc-parse.y, function.c (containin_function_p)
          Implemented function return value assignements to upper level
          functions.

Thu Mar 28 06:20:20 1991  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * After some hack attacks:
          - configure in gpc directory can now compile gpc in a separate
            object directory.
          - rewrote string assignments. (The code was missing, so I quess
            I had screwed up some previous upgrades)
          - fixed things (except the WITH statement, see below)
            to the state it was a year(2?) ago. Now the PVS tests
            pass quite nicely (except the WITH statement :-( )
          - set operations are starting to do something. However, this is
            the first version that uses library calls for everything.
            (One set implementation a day keeps you up at nights)
          - Converted all suitable build calls to build1.
          - Fixed most of Jyrki's hack fixes. The worst one
            still remaining is the only change in tree.c
            permanent_allocation() that disables one
            obstack_free(). (Fixed Mon May  6 01:21:40 1991/jtv)

          Problems: WITH statement does not work anymore!

Mon Mar 11 12:44:08 1991  Jyrki Kuoppala - Hut  (jkp at nic)

        * modified version.c to make it work better with gcc2 dir setup

        * gpc-convert.c (convert_to_char): use build1 instead of build

        * gpc-typeck.c (convert_array_to_pointer): use build1 instead of
          build

        * gpc-convert.c (convert_to_pointer): use build1 instead of build

        * converted also gpc-convert.c to new gcc version, had neglected that

        * gpc-parse.y FOR statement: added 0 as first parameter of
          expand_exit_loop_if_false(), same for REPEAT and WHILE

        * gcc/tree.c: (permanent_allocation): don't free
          maybepermanent_obstack - this is for debugging gpc now, see later
          where the problem is

        * gpc-common.c: (combine_strings) pascal support moved here from
          gpc-util.c

        * gpc-lex.c: (init_lex) call set_identifier_size

        * now it compiles and links

        * stor-layout.c (for COMPLEX_TYPE): don't use TYPE_SIZE_UNIT, use
          TYPE_PRECISION

        * gpc-util.c: make bogus macro TREE_PACKED

        * gpc-util.c: #if 0 function combine_strings, this is in
          gpc-common.c.  Should checker whether it does the same thing.

        * gpc-util.c: TREE_LITERAL -> TREE_CONSTANT

        * gpc-typeck.c: TREE_VOLATILE -> TYPE_VOLATILE

        * gpc-util.c: #if 0 for function build_complex_type, it's already
          in tree.c.  Should check where it's called and change, because
          the parametres are different.

        * gpc-parse.y: expand_end_else -> expand_end_cond (won't work)

        * added some new gcc2 files to Makefile as language-independent
          files

        * now it compiles, but doesn't link because a lot of old macros /
          functions are used.

        * gpc-typeck.c (default_conversion): form -> code, dt -> type,
          TREE_LITERAL -> TREE_CONSTANT, TREE_VOLATILE->TYPE_VOLATILE,
          dt0 -> type0, (build_component_ref): basename -> datum

        * converted gpc-typeck.c

        * created gpc-common.c

        * converted gpc-decl.c to work with gcc2

        * gpc-util.c: TREE_LITERAL -> TREE_CONSTANT, TREE_VOLATILE ->
          TYPE_VOLATILE, TYPE_SIZE_UNIT -> TYPE_PRECISION

        * gpc-parse.y: TREE_LITERAL -> TREE_CONSTANT

        * gpc-lex.c: include <stdio.h> etc. before "input.h" etc.

        * stor-lay.out.c (layout_type): change to use size_binop instead
          of genop

        * stor-layout.c (layout_type): if 0 for gpc COMPLEX_TYPE, it's in
          base gcc now

        * stor-layout.c (layout_type): use new macros for setting sizes
          etc. of types

        * gpc-parse.y: #include <stdio.h> etc. before "input.h"

        * started updating gpc to gcc 1.91 as of March 4 version:
          first I just hunt for the string GPC in the gpc sources and copy
          the code mostly as is, changing only the most obvious things.
          Done dbxout.c, expr.c, fold-const.c (no changes needed),
          function.c, gcc.c, optabs.c, print-tree.c, stor-layout.c.  Now
          only the gpc-specific files need to be done.

vMon Oct 16 20:43:34 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * Currently changing the gpc-parse.y to grok non local
          gotos to the main program. No much luck yet :-)
          Check gpc-parse.y.ok for a stabile one. function.c
          has one new routine (to set up context_display).

        * Non-local gotos to routines are ok. (Currently one
          may NOT jump to the main program level).

Sat Oct 14 15:25:52 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * various places.
          Changes to make gpc use the nested routine support.
          It appears to almost *work*!

          Implemented trampoline macros in tm-vax.h should now be ok.

Wed Oct 11 16:08:15 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * Upgraded to intermediate level of gcc-1.36 with
          nested routine and non-local goto support.

          A couple of nesting bugs found, rms fixed them.

          Forward directive ceased working?

Wed Oct 8 18:07:47 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * Upgraded to 1.36

Fri Aug 25 14:23:19 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * Upgraded to 1.35.97

          Started to implement sets & set operations &
          set constructors.

Mon Aug 21 01:13:23 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * gpc-parse.y

          GPC can now handle ranges in CASE statements.

Wed Aug 16 00:48:22 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * expmed.c
          fold-const.c

          Changed Pascal MOD to use FLOOR_MOD_EXPR. It was
          there all the time, I just did not know what it
          was. Both the files fold-const.c and expmed.c are now
          unchanged from the gcc versions, so I removed them
          from here.

Sat Aug 12 17:05:10 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * FRIEND_DECL tree code is flushed. Using an attribute
          REDEFINABLE_DECL(NODE) ((NODE)->common.lang_flag_2)
          instead.

        * upgraded to gcc-1.35.96

Sat Aug  5 01:11:11 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * rts

          Run time system should now support lazy i/o. Compiler does not
          yet do it. Fixed some bugs in terminal i/o.

        * gpc-typeck (build_unary_op, build_array_ref)
          expr.c (various places)

          Took my previous changes for non-zero low bound array handling
          code away from expr.c, and changed the appropriate places in
          gpc-typeck.c. Now the code is simpler and cleaner, and expr.c
          does not have so many changes :-)

        * optabs.c
          emit-rtl.c (gen_lowpart)

          implemented simple complex type operations for GCC.

          gen_lowpart() check for validity should use GET_MODE_UNIT_SIZE
          not GET_MODE_SIZE so that complex types can use it.
          (Fixed in 1.35.97)

Sun Jul 30 16:38:07 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * rts/gpc_rt0.c (_p_fflush)

          Removed the stupid bug that fflushed stdin.
          It has no effect in VAX, but Sun-4 and Sun-3 terminal
          input behaved really strangely.

Sat Jul 29 06:02:02 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * stor-layout.c (layout_type)
          gpc-util.c (init_util)

          Size of FILE_TYPE object is now included from the run time
          system header file rts/rts_types.h. layout_type() references to
          external tree type variable size_of_file_type.

        * gpc-util.c (init_any)

          Implemeted initialization of FILE_TYPE fields inside
          Pascal records. Although the initialization of fields
          inside record variants is likely to be wasted if the
          overlaying field is written to. Detection of such
          things is, once again, left open. Don't write bad
          programs! Or compilers...

        * gpc-typeck.c (build_binary_op_nodefault)

          Fixed (?) the bug causing *truly* verbose boolean comparisons
          in the assembler code due to many unnecessary conversions.

        * gpc-util.c (routines that output RTS calls)
          Run time system gpc_read.c & gpc_write.c

          Re-implemented the handling of text file read & write routines.
          Instead of the about 15 different write & read routines for TEXT
          files there are now only 2 (_p_write & _p_read) that take
          variable number of varying arguments, making the compiled
          programs faster and assembly code easier to read.

        * gpc-decl.c (grok_directive)

          Implemented directive `C' that does not convert
          the possible first letter of the identifier to upper
          case. Otherwise equal to `External'.

          This requires knowledge of the label prefix written
          to the assembler files. The tm.h macro ASM_OUTPUT_LABEL
          contains the prefix as part of the string, but it does
          not help much. There should also be a defined string
          ASM_OUTPUT_LABEL_PREFIX if such label prefix is needeed
          for the machine. Currently the symbol is defined in
          gpc-decl.c, but it should be moved to tm.h (of all machines :-)

Thu Jul 27 17:00:48 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * Run time system

          The run time system can now be compiled without modification
          for most systems. Ftruncate is still missing for USG systems.

        * gpc-util.c (build_rts_call is_string_type)
          rts/gpc_file.c

          Fixed the handling of optional file name parameter to file
          opening run time calls. Added the length of the optional second
          parameter as the third parameter to _p_reset, _p_rewrite and
          _p_extend.

          Added routine is_string_type to check if the argument is a
          string in Pascal sense.

Wed Jul 26 00:57:29 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * sparc.md

          The define_expands matching what sbe && sne generate
          do not clear the bit CC_IN_FCCR, since they do not
          call macro NOTICE_UPDATE_CC. Fixed by clearing
          the bits in sparc.md. Notified RMS.

          Some more changes (by jkp@kampi.hut.fi) to the
          sparc output routines; made to the gcc-1.35.95
          and I am not certain what they were, but who cares,
          we'll see them in gcc-1.36. Sent to gnu.gcc.bugs.

        * fold-constant.c (fold_convert)

          The following C program produces incorrect results in Gcc-1.35:
          main() {int j = ((int) -3.7) == -3; }

          Also affects Pascal TRUNC function. Fixed by calling
          force_fit_type in fold_convert. Notified RMS.

        * stor-layout.c (layout_type)

          Tightened the rules of changing ARRAY_TYPE objects
          from BLKmode to some other if STRICT_ALIGNMENT is
          in effect. (Sparc dumped core before). Notified RMS.

Sat Jul 22 21:54:44 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * Changed version number to 0.05 and placed 0.04 to
          MIT Suns.

Wed Jul 19 03:57:24 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * gpc-parse.y

          Allowed variable declarations whenever a statement is valid.

        * gpc-parse.y (subrange_type)
          gpc_util.c (build_range_type, make_signed_range)

          Allowed the upper subrange bound to be an arbitrary
          expression. (It's more difficult to allow both bounds
          to be expressions; it causes a lot of shift/reduce conflicts.
          This requires some thinking!)
          (afterthought: It requires MORE thinking than I thought it would!)

          In any case, this makes it possible to use the variable-sized
          arrays whose size is determined on entry to the block.

        * gpc-parse.y

          Changed the parser to give error messages on missing
          semicolons instead of terminating on the first such event.
          (Note: I disabled this later to catch other error)

        * expr.c (expand_expr)

          Implemented Pascal ROUND function in FIX_ROUND_EXPR.
          Round(x) =
           if (x >= 0.0) then trunc(x+0.5) else trunc(x-0.5)
          It is done just like the code above.

          While implementing it, I found out that the C-code
          assignment: i = ((int) -3.7 == -3);
          does not work as the routine fold_convert() in fold-const.c
          leaves an unsigned value to the datum it returns
          instead of converting it to the signed value as
          expected. Notified RMS.

Tue Jul 18 20:42:41 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * gpc-util.c (build_buffer_ref)

          Build an
            indirect_ref (of type file component) through
            an indirect_ref (of type pointer to file component)
            through address of file type object
          instead of
            indirect_ref (of type file component) through
            an indirect_ref (of type pointer to file)
            through address of file type object.

Wed Jul 12 01:10:09 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * gpc_parse.y

          expand_end_case() has a parameter. (It's changed
          since epoch)

          It's nice that the Vax unix allows *NULL.
          (This is a joke, hahahaha)

        * gpc_parse.y

          Fixed a bug caused by dereferencing a null pointer
          when parsing something that looks like a function call
          but the function is undefined. First GPC bug report
          outside HUT by Doug Schmidt (thanks) :-)

Tue Jul 11 15:30:24 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * gpc_defs.h (ASSERT macro)

          Changed the ASSERT(x, s) to ASSERT(x, str) because cpp
          expands macro parameters inside strings and I forgot it.

Sun Jul  9 20:19:41 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * optabs.c (emit_cmp_insn)
          gpclib  (rts/gpc_misc.c routine _p_bcmp)

          Implemented routine _p_bcmp (in the run time system) that
          compares character strings. bcmp(3) handles only equality,
          but Pascal needs also LESS and GREATER relations. The
          routine _p_bcmp is a simple byte-by-byte comparison loop,
          that can be optimized heavily with machine dependend code
          (i.e. in vax it could use the bcmp3 machine instruction)

          Changed optabs.c routine emit_cmp_insn to call _p_bcmp
          instead of bmcp(3) or memcmp(3)

Sun Jul  2 23:21:45 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * gpc-parse.y
          gpc-decl.c (grokdeclarator)

          Fixed the bug that caused different result with -O switch.
          GPC optimized the function return value assignments away
          since the result was never used in the function. Fixed it by
          declaring the function retval id volatile.

Sat Jul  1 01:15:04 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * Started implementing set type. Sets are represented as
          arrays of booleans, but the type of the set is still the
          type of the set elements. Implemented IN_EXPR to see if
          this method works...

          It is yet unclear to me if sets starting from nonzero
          element cause problems.  Normally they don't, but passing
          sets as parameters can be a problem. So maybe I need to
          store the low bound and length to the beginning of the
          set. When this thing is ok, maybe it would be nice to
          implement some sparse set model (with linked lists) and
          run time routines that can mix both of them. This might
          make Pascal sets more useful.

        * gpc-util.c (rts_read) (rts_write)

          Oops, fixed a bug when reading and writing with
          Read & Write from non-textfiles.

Fri Jun 30 01:48:12 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * gpc-decl.c (start_function) (start_pascal_function) (grok_directive)
          gpc-lang.h
          gpc-parse.y

          Implemented Pascal required `Forward' directive. Also
          `External' should work (nothing prevents you from
          declaring an external function in the same file, which
          I consider somewhat misleading.) If -pedantic is
          given gpc complains if you give the parameters and
          function return value when actually defining the forward
          declared function thus violating THE standard.

          I started to use the *_LANG_SPECIFIC macros and
          the struct lang_decl *lang_specifig field in the tree_node,
          but did not alter make_node in tree.c. So the nodes MIGHT go
          to different obstacks. And that is bad. Have to look at this.

        * expmed.c (expand_divmod)
          fold-const.c (div_and_round_double)

          Implemented Pascal MOD with TRUNC_MOD_EXPR. It's
          incorrect, but works until it's done better.
          This way it's not language independent.

Thu Jun 29 04:13:32 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * gpc-util.c, run time system

          Reduced number of parameters of _p_initfdr to 4.

        * gpc-util.c (build_buffer_ref)

          Changed file buffer referencing through the FILE_TYPE
          BLKmode thing to happen like *(*(&file)) instead of
          *file that used to abort 4 tests and fail on Suns.

Wed Jun 28 02:44:50 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * Ran PVS tests first time on Sun-3/60. 18 more tests passing
          in Vax will not compile or run correctly on a Sun. It's amazing
          that it does even this much...

        * gpc-util.c (init_any)
          Avoid wraparound when stepping through indices of arrays
          we are initializing. array [ maxint .. maxint ] of anything
          caused virtual memory to exceed :-)

        * gpc-lex.c (yylex)
          Implemented Extended Pascal numbers that are of the format:
          radix#value where radix can be in the range 2..36

        * gpc-util.c gpc-parse.y
          Implemented Extended Pascal file routines to the run time
          system (SeekRead, SeekWrite, SeekUpdate, Update, Extend,
          Empty, LastPosition, Position).
          These are not tested, and likely to be buggy.

        * Implemented also a GPC extension (not in Extended Pascal)
          DefineSize that can be used to move the file pointer past end of file.
          File will be truncated to the specified size if you so specify.

        * Implemented Extended Pascal procedure Halt. (with minor
          extensions :-) Also Date, Time and GetTimeStamp are
          implemented, but require some work after Extended Pascal
          string type is implemented and predefined record TimeStamp
          is defined.

Tue Jun 27 01:42:09 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * gpc-util.c (un_initialize_block) (init_any) (init_simple)
          Split the un_initialize_block() routine into three parts:
          init_any() which is a recursive routine that propagates through
          all structured types and calls init_simple () to do the actual
          un-initialization for all basic (simple) types. (Currently only
          FILE_TYPE is un_initialized by generating _p_initfdr() calls to do
          that.) un_initialize_block () now only finds all VAR_DECL nodes in
          the block and calls init_any () for each of them.

Sun Jun 25 02:15:09 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * obtabs.c (emit_cmp_insn)
          It seems that the emit_library_call () for "bcmp"
          && "memcmp" has wrong parameters x & y.
          When changed to XEXP (x, 0) and XEXP (y, 0) the
          compiler does not abort, and seems to generate
          intelligent looking code.
          Now it seems to generate code for block compares.
          Notified RMS.

        * gpc-decl.c (grokdeclarator)
          gpc-typeck.c (default_conversion) (build_array_ref)
                       (build_unary_op) (convert_array_to_pointer)
          Don't convert arrays to pointers by default anymore.
          Now it seems to be able to pass both VAR and value
          parameter arrays. Moved the array stuff from default_conversion
          to a new routine convert_array_to_pointer that gets called when
          such a thing is required (build_unary_op (ADDR_EXPR from
          ARRAY_REF) and build_array_ref ()) Indexing these arrays
          seems to work now also.

        * Started to implement Pascal arrays properly.

Fri Jun 23 15:15:48 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * gpc-parse.y (FOR statement)
          The for statement control variable should not
          be assigned to until BOTH of the bounds expressions
          have been evaluated. Fixed by allocating temp variables
          for both of the expressions.

        * dbxout.c (dbxout_type)
          Implemented CHAR_TYPE, BOOLEAN_TYPE, FILE_TYPE and
          COMPLEX_TYPE .stabs for gdb debugging.

Wed Jun 21 08:21:15 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * gpc-util.c (un_initialize_block)
          Altered a NULL_TREE parameter to integer_zero_node
          when constructing the file initialization run time system
          call.

        * gpc-lex.c (yylex)
          Changed gpc to use tables generated by Doug Schmidt's
          perfect hash function generator when recognizing reserved
          words.

        * merged with gcc-1.35. Problems to find time to do GPC.

Mon Apr  3 16:08:12 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi)

        * Implemented Extended Pascal MAXCHAR, MINREAL, MAXREAL
          and EPSREAL.

Sat Mar 25 12:27:12 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi)

        * Changed version number to 0.04

        * Updated the COPYRIGHT notice on all files (also
          in the run time system) to FSF Copyright Version 1
          level.

        * gpc-parse.y
          gpc-decl.c (shadow_record_fields)
          Changed WITH statement record field shadowing to happen
          when the corresponding WITH element is parsed. It was previously
          done after all WITH elements had been placed in a chain;
          but this is far too late, since lookup_name() was then
          called too early. Now the WITH statement should work as
          the standard requires.

        * gpc-parse.y
          Fixed bug in REPEAT UNTIL boolean_expression handling.

Fri Mar 24 18:08:37 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi)

        * gpc-parse.y
          While parsing FOR loops the lineno variable was assigned
          to $<itype>9 inside the ninth element of the rule. It seems that
          this does not work as I imagined, since when $<itype>9
          was accessed it was always 0 causing an abort() in final()
          if -g was specified. Use $<itype>$ instead.

        * Split the gpc-parse.y to gpc-parse.y and gpc-lex.c
          (We had the *OLD* Bison here that did not output YYSTYPE
          and YYLTYPE to tab.h file before...)

        * Got rid of TREE_IMPLICT_REF. It was ugly...
          VAR parameters are now handled with REFERENCE_TYPE
          nodes. Until they are properly implemented, I convert
          them to POINTER_TYPE nodes as soon as possible to avoid
          too many changes in GCC files. (Let's hope I managed to
          catch all places where conversions are needeed:
          gpc-parse.y, actualparameterlist(), build_indirect_ref(),
          default_conversion().

          This caused also other changes, mainly to gpc-util.c (do_ptype)
          and the way run time system routines get their formal parameter
          list.

Tue Mar 21 13:59:45 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi)

        * empty record variables cannot be declared.
          They generate an undefined external reference when
          linking the program. It's also a bug in GCC. Notified RMS.
          (RMS fixed it in gcc-1.34)

        * gpc-util.c (shadow_record_fields & handle_one_level)
          gpc-parse.y
          Handle WITH for variant records. Also, now it should calculate
          a pointer to the WITH element value and store it to
          a temporary variable and construct an indirect_ref through this
          when WITH elements are used. This is done only when WITH element
          is not a VAR_DECL node.

        * gpc-typeck.c (find_field)
          For variant records when proceeding to the variant part through
          the NULL_TREE named FIELD_DECL nodes don't generate
          COMPONENT_REFs for UNION_TYPE decls. I have to look at this
          again someday.

        * gpc-typeck.c (build_unary_op)
          ADDR_EXPR did not allow arrays with non-zero lower bound.

        * Gee. I have to DE-implement the function return values
          to the way I did it in the first place. This is because Pascal
          allows assignment to function return values long before
          the function returns. The function return values (when possible)
          go to the register r0, which is not marked as reserved when
          the DECL_RESULT is stored, and this register is used for other
          purposes thus destroying the assigned function return value.

Fri Mar 17 17:37:53 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi)

        * gpc-parse.y
          FOR loop bound checking altered to avoid wraparound bug

        * gpc-parse.y
          gpc-decl.c
          Re-implemented the function return value handling to
          use the GCC supplied standard features.

Thu Mar 16 17:26:24 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi)

        * gpc-parse.y
          gpc-decl.c (shadow_record_fields)
          Partially implemented WITH statement.
          Does not work with variant records, other bugs
          are also likely to pop up. But it passes 6 PVS
          conformance tests with WITH!!! WITH elements still
          need to be evaluated only once.

        * gpc-util.c (resolve_forward_pointer)
          gpc-parse.y
          gpc-decl.c (lookup_tag not static currently)
          Implemented pointers to currently undeclared
          types. A "forward pointer" is placed in the
          list of TAGS where the routine resolve_forward_pointer
          seeks it when a new type is declared. If it finds
          a forward pointer, it alters the type it points to,
          and lays it out (well, maybe the layout is unnecessary)

        * Changed the new edition number to 0.03

Tue Mar  7 12:46:59 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi)

        * gpc-util.c (build_rts_call):
          Allow NEW and DISPOSE to take variable number of args
          but warn if the arg list is longer than 1 (it means
          the user is allocating memory for tag-fielded variant
          records with specified tags)

        * gpc-typeck.c (actualparameterlist)
          gpc-parse.y
          gpc-util.c
          Procedural parameters should work.
          (A problem: if formal parameter is a procedural
          parameter, and the actual parameter is a routine
          returning a procedure/function pointer, should
          we evaluate or not? Of course, this is not a problem
          in Standard Pascal.

Sun Mar  5 01:57:59 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi)

        * gpc-parse.y
          gpc-util.c (convert_type_to_index):
          ordinal typenames used as index specifiers
          for arrays should work. (Should check that
          array [ integer ] of anything is not given;
          it might fill the computer... Well, it's only
          a question of resources :-)

        * gpc-typeck.c (convert_for_assignment)
          gpc-util.c (build_range)
          subranges should work better now. Even some type
          checking should be implemented for them. Upper
          and lower bounds must be of same type. Enumerated
          type values are still treated as integers.  Needs
          fixing.

        * gpc-parse.y
          Argh. When we need a Pascal CONSTANT that is a
          predefined identifier (like MAXINT) we cannot
          pass the node itself, we have to pass a
          copy_node() of it; I found this out when
          build_range() modified the min value of the
          integer_maxint_node and folding a NEGATE_EXPR of
          this node returned a mysterious number...

        * changed TRUTH_ANDIF_EXPR and TRUTH_ORIF_EXPR
          to TRUTH_AND_EXPR and TRUTH_OR_EXPR; the short
          circuit boolean operators may still be called
          with AND THEN and OR ELSE or by giving the
          option -fshort_circuit

        * added -fshort_circuit

Sat Mar  4 19:44:10 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi)

        * gpc-util.c (build_index_type_2):
          a routine similar to build_index_type (), but can
          also define the lower bound of the index (not always 0).
          Hashes to the same hashcode as build_index_type.

        * gpc-util.c (concatenate_strings):
          constant string arrays have a lower subscript 1
          as the standard requires, not 0 as before.
          The terminating NULL is no longer counted to array size.
          String assignment should work.

        * Made array assignment possible

        * Implemented CHAR_TYPE.

Thu Mar  2 06:02:14 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * Implemented array indexing to arrays with arbitrary
          lower bound. (Used to work only with zero lower bound;
          as C requires.)

          expr.c (expand_assignment):
          expr.c (expand_expr): case ARRAY_REF: & case COMPONENT_REF:
          Modified the code to handle arrays with non-zero
          lower bounds.

Wed Mar  1 13:09:44 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * gpc-decl.c (start_decl): don't switch to temporary_allocation
          when defining a top level CONST_DECL node.

Tue Feb  28 16:35:56 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * upgraded to gcc-1.34
          changed gpc version to 0.02 (gcc-1.34)

Mon Feb  27 17:20:42 1989  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at kampi.hut.fi)

        * gpc version 0.01 (gcc-1.33) transferred to
          MIT-Suns (to directory ~jtv/gpc)

Wed Mar 30 12:39:13 1988  Jukka Virtanen  (jtv at santra.hut.fi)

        * Epoch. Started implementing gpc on gcc-1.21.
          Got bored, and forgot the whole thing until
          at Feb 1989 I ported the changes to gcc-1.33.
          (I didn't think you would actually read this!)
