Remove all instances of this obsolete macro, since it is now a simple
reference to ->common.type. There were about 150 invocations of the
macro across 41 files.
Add 2009 copyright to all module headers and signons, including the Linux
header. This affects virtually every file in the ACPICA core subsystem,
iASL compiler, and all utilities.
Previously did not allow the creation of named objects within a while
loop. However, it is not possible to analyze the loop to determine if
a named object would actually be created twice. Also, compiling
disassembled code with switch statements would raise this error even
though the compiler-emitted while(one) loop only executed once (there
is a break statement at the bottom of the loop. Chalk this one up to
'a nice try'.
Fixes a problem where the use of an alias within a namepath would
result in a not found error or cause the compiler to fault.
Also now allows forward references from the Alias operator itself.
ACPICA BZ 738.
Added the -e option to allow the inclusion of additional ACPI tables
to help with the disassembly of method invocations and the generation
of external declarations during the disassembly. Certain external
method invocations cannot be disassembled properly without the actual
declaration of the method. Use the -e option to include the table
where the external method(s) are actually declared. Most useful for
disassembling SSDTs that make method calls back to the master DSDT.
Lin Ming.
Example: To disassemble an SSDT with calls to DSDT:
iasl -d -e dsdt.aml ssdt1.aml
acpi.h now includes only the "public" acpica headers. All other
acpica headers are "private" and should not be included by acpica
users. One new file, accommon.h is used to include the commonly
used private headers for acpica code generation. Future plans are
to move all private headers to a new subdirectory.
Removed the "$Revision" number that appeared in each module header.
This version number was useful under SourceSafe and CVS, but has no
meaning under git. It is not only incorrect, it could also be
misleading.
Fix some sloppiness in the Reference object. No longer use AML opcodes to
differentiate the types, introduce new reference Class. Cleanup the debug
output code.
Restricted the error case to allow the use of the Scope, Buffer, and
Package operators within a loop since these operators do not actually
create new objects.
Emit an error if any named object is created within a While loop.
If allowed, this code will generate a run-time error on the second
iteration of the loop when an attempt is made to create the same
named object twice. ACPICA bugzilla 730.
These names can appear in a disassembled ASL file if they were emitted
by the original compiler. Instead of issuing an error or warning and
forcing the user to manually change these names, issue a remark instead.
Handle the case for the Interrupt resource descriptor where
the ResourceSource argument is omitted but ResourceSourceIndex
is present. Leave room for the Index. BZ 426
Fixed a problem with the use of the Switch operator where execution by multiple concurrent threads could cause an AE_ALREADY_EXISTS. This is caused by the fact that there is no actual Switch opcode, it must be simulated with temp variables and if/else pairs. The solution chosen was to mark any method that uses Switch to be Serialized, thus preventing multiple thread entries. BZ 469.
Implemented support for the use of DDBHandles as an Indexed Reference, as per the ACPI spec. (Lin Ming) BZ 486. Implemented support for UserTerm (Method invocation) for the Unload operator as per the ACPI spec. (Lin Ming) BZ 580
Implemented support for full TermArgs (adding Argx, Localx and method invocation) for the ParameterData parameter to the LoadTable operator. (Lin Ming) BZ 583,587
Implemented additional debugging information in the namespace listing file created during compilation. In addition to the namespace hierarchy, the full pathname to each namespace object is displayed.
Added 2008 copyright to all module headers and signons. This affects virtually every file in the ACPICA core subsystem, iASL compiler, and the utilities.
Implemented support to allow multiple files to be compiled/disassembled in a single invocation. This includes command line wildcard support for both the Windows and Unix versions of the compiler. This feature simplifies the disassembly and compilation of multiple ACPI tables in a single directory.
Added 2007 copyright to all module headers and signons. This affects virtually every file in the ACPICA core subsystem, iASL compiler, and the utilities.
