     (warning : Some features do not work under Delphi)

  Revision 1.31  2002/08/14 18:41:48  jonas
    - remove valuelow/valuehigh fields from tlocation, because they depend
      on the endianess of the host operating system -> difficult to get
      right. Use lo/hi(location.valueqword) instead (remember to use

      calls to cgobj
    * u32bit-s32bit updates for and,or,xor nodes. When one element is
      u32bit then the other is typecasted also to u32bit without giving
      a rangecheck warning/error.
    * fixed pascal calling method with reversing also the high tree in
      the parast, detected by tcalcst3 test

  Revision 1.18  2002/04/21 15:31:40  carl

    * generic changeregsize(reg,size) for i386 register resizing
    * removed some more routines from cga unit
    * fixed returnvalue handling

  + some cleanup of unused types/variables

    (where they are used)
  + att_Reg2str -> gas_reg2str
  + int_reg2str -> std_reg2str

  Revision 1.13  2002/04/14 16:59:41  carl
  + att_reg2str -> gas_reg2str

  Revision 1.12  2002/04/02 17:11:34  peter
    * tlocation,treference update

    * location_force_reg added for loading a location to a register
      of a specified size
    * secondassignment parses now first the right and then the left node
      (this is compatible with Kylix). This saves a lot of push/pop especially
      with string operations
    * adapted some routines to use the new cg methods

  Revision 1.11  2002/03/31 20:26:37  jonas
    + a_loadfpu_* and a_loadmm_* methods in tcg
    * register allocation is now handled by a class and is mostly processor
      independent (+rgobj.pas and i386/rgcpu.pas)
    * temp allocation is now handled by a class (+tgobj.pas, -i386\tgcpu.pas)
    * some small improvements and fixes to the optimizer
    * some register allocation fixes
    * some fpuvaroffset fixes in the unary minus node
    * push/popusedregisters is now called rg.save/restoreusedregisters and
      (for i386) uses temps instead of push/pop's when using -Op3 (that code is
      also better optimizable)
    * fixed and optimized register saving/restoring for new/dispose nodes
    * LOC_FPU locations now also require their "register" field to be set to
      R_ST, not R_ST0 (the latter is used for LOC_CFPUREGISTER locations only)
    - list field removed of the tnode class because it's not used currently
      and can cause hard-to-find bugs

  Revision 1.10  2002/03/04 19:10:12  peter
    * removed compiler warnings
