2.0.6 1. The linker could give a spurious error about the relative
|
|
|
|
|
address calculation for a BRL instruction if it branched
|
|
|
|
|
forward or backward more than 32 KB. Since the address
|
|
|
|
|
calculation for BRL wraps around within the program bank, it
|
|
|
|
|
can branch forward or backward by up to 64 KB (to any location
|
|
|
|
|
in the program bank), and the linker now allows this.

2. Fixed several problems related to alignment. Previously,
|
|
|
|
|
the linker both reported spurious errors about alignment in
|
|
|
|
|
certain cases and failed to detect errors in other cases.
|
|
|
|
|
With these fixes, a segment alignment of $10000 is now
|
|
|
|
|
permitted. Also, the linker can now link together multiple
|
|
|
|
|
object segments with different alignment requirements into a
|
|
|
|
|
single load segment, regardless of the order of the object
|
|
|
|
|
segments. The alignment of the load segment will be the most
|
|
|
|
|
restrictive alignment of any of the object segments, and the
|
|
|
|
|
alignment requirements of each object segment will be obeyed.

3. A spurious error is no longer reported for code segments that
|
|
|
|
|
are exactly $10000 bytes long (the full size of a bank).

2.0.5 1. On case-sensitive filesystems (which are not normally used
|
|
|
|
|
natively on the Apple IIGS, but may be used through emulation
|
|
|
|
|
tools or network file servers), the linker can now find object
|
|
|
|
|
files with either upper-case or lower-case file extensions.

2.0.3 1. Fixed bug that caused programs with more than one dynamic
|
|
|
|
|
segment to link improperly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(Ian Brumby)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Fixed bug that caused approximately one in 65536 load segments
|
|
|
|
|
to be trashed with a random word placed every 14 bytes through
|
|
|
|
|
the segment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.0.2 1. Fixed bug that caused the linker to step on memory that did
|
|
|
|
|
not belong to it when the +m flag was used. The most common
|
|
|
|
|
symptom of this bug was crashing during the second or
|
|
|
|
|
subsequent compile when using PRIZM.

|
2.0.1 1. Fixed bug that caused the current location counter (* in
|
|
|
|
|
assembly language parlance) to be evaluated incorrectly in
|
|
|
|
|
some expressions.
