Adds typechecking for static (non-control-method) predefined names.
Migrates compiler to use the common predefined name table (acpredef.h).
Adds a single new file, aslpredef.c. ACPICA BZ 832.
This change will enable debug object output via a global variable,
AcpiGbl_EnableAmlDebugObject. This will help with remote machine
debugging. Also, moved all debug object support code to a new file,
executer/exdebug.c. Entire debug object module can now be configured
out of the ACPICA build if desired. Lin Ming, Bob Moore.
Added several new options for the gcc-4 generation, and updated the source
accordingly. This includes some code restructuring to eliminate unreachable
code, elimination of some gotos, elimination of unused return values, and
some additional casting.
This change will repair (by sorting) packages returned by _ALR,
_PSS, and _TSS. Drivers can now assume that the packages are
correctly sorted. Adds one new file, namespace/nsrepair2.c
ACPICA BZ 784. Lin Ming, Bob Moore.
Add new file for handling of ASL External() statements. Consolidates
all such code, it is used only for iASL disassembler (not kernel code
or acpiexec.)
Completed a major update for the AcpiGetObjectInfo external interface.
Changes include:
- Support for variable, unlimited length HID, UID, and CID strings
- Support Processor objects the same as Devices (HID,UID,CID,ADR,STA, etc.)
- Call the _SxW power methods on behalf of a device object
- Determine if a device is a PCI root bridge
- Change the ACPI_BUFFER parameter to ACPI_DEVICE_INFO.
These changes will require an update to all callers of this interface.
See the ACPICA Programmer Reference for details.
