  Revision 1.51  2003-03-13 19:52:23  jonas
    * and more new register allocator fixes (in the i386 code generator this
      time). At least now the ppc cross compiler can compile the linux
      system unit again, but I haven't tested it.

  Revision 1.50  2003/02/26 23:06:13  daniel
    * Fixed an illegal use of makeregsize

  Revision 1.49  2003/02/19 22:39:56  daniel
    * Fixed a few issues

  Revision 1.48  2003/02/19 22:00:15  daniel
    * Code generator converted to new register notation
    - Horribily outdated todo.txt removed

  Revision 1.47  2003/01/13 14:54:34  daniel
    * Further work to convert codegenerator register convention;
      internalerror bug fixed.

  Revision 1.46  2003/01/08 18:43:57  daniel
   * Tregister changed into a record

  Revision 1.45  2002/11/25 17:43:27  peter
    * splitted defbase in defutil,symutil,defcmp
    * merged isconvertable and is_equal into compare_defs(_ext)
    * made operator search faster by walking the list only once

  Revision 1.44  2002/10/03 21:34:45  carl
    * range check error fixes

  Revision 1.43  2002/09/17 18:54:05  jonas
    * a_load_reg_reg() now has two size parameters: source and dest. This
      allows some optimizations on architectures that don't encode the
      register size in the register name.

  Revision 1.42  2002/09/16 18:08:26  peter
    * fix last optimization in genlinearlist, detected by bug tw1066
    * use generic casenode.pass2 routine and override genlinearlist
    * add jumptable support to generic casenode, by default there is
      no jumptable support

  Revision 1.41  2002/09/09 13:57:45  jonas
    * small optimization to case genlist() case statements

  Revision 1.40  2002/08/17 09:23:46  florian
    * first part of procinfo rewrite

  Revision 1.39  2002/08/12 15:08:42  carl
    + stab register indexes for powerpc (moved from gdb to cpubase)
    + tprocessor enumeration moved to cpuinfo
    + linker in target_info is now a class
    * many many updates for m68k (will soon start to compile)
    - removed some ifdef or correct them for correct cpu

  Revision 1.38  2002/08/11 14:32:30  peter
    * renamed current_library to objectlibrary

  Revision 1.37  2002/08/11 13:24:17  peter
    * saving of asmsymbols in ppu supported
    * asmsymbollist global is removed and moved into a new class
      tasmlibrarydata that will hold the info of a .a file which
      corresponds with a single module. Added librarydata to tmodule
      to keep the library info stored for the module. In the future the
      objectfiles will also be stored to the tasmlibrarydata class
    * all getlabel/newasmsymbol and friends are moved to the new class

  Revision 1.36  2002/07/23 14:31:00  daniel
  * Added internal error when asked to generate code for 'if expr in []'

  Revision 1.35  2002/07/20 11:58:04  florian
    * types.pas renamed to defbase.pas because D6 contains a types
      unit so this would conflicts if D6 programms are compiled
    + Willamette/SSE2 instructions to assembler added

  Revision 1.34  2002/07/11 14:41:34  florian
    * start of the new generic parameter handling

  Revision 1.33  2002/07/06 20:27:26  carl
  + generic set handling

  Revision 1.32  2002/07/01 18:46:33  peter
    * internal linker
    * reorganized aasm layer

  Revision 1.31  2002/05/18 13:34:25  peter
    * readded missing revisions

  Revision 1.30  2002/05/16 19:46:52  carl
  + defines.inc -> fpcdefs.inc to avoid conflicts if compiling by hand
  + try to fix temp allocation (still in ifdef)
  + generic constructor calls
  + start of tassembler / tmodulebase class cleanup

  Revision 1.28  2002/05/13 19:54:38  peter
    * removed n386ld and n386util units
    * maybe_save/maybe_restore added instead of the old maybe_push

  Revision 1.27  2002/05/12 16:53:17  peter
    * moved entry and exitcode to ncgutil and cgobj
    * foreach gets extra argument for passing local data to the
      iterator function
    * -CR checks also class typecasts at runtime by changing them
      into as
    * fixed compiler to cycle with the -CR option
    * fixed stabs with elf writer, finally the global variables can
      be watched
    * removed a lot of routines from cga unit and replaced them by
      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 1.26  2002/04/25 20:16:40  peter
    * moved more routines from cga/n386util

  Revision 1.25  2002/04/21 19:02:07  peter
    * removed newn and disposen nodes, the code is now directly
      inlined from pexpr
    * -an option that will write the secondpass nodes to the .s file, this
      requires EXTDEBUG define to actually write the info
    * fixed various internal errors and crashes due recent code changes

  Revision 1.24  2002/04/21 15:37:26  carl
  * changeregsize -> rg.makeregsize

  Revision 1.23  2002/04/19 15:39:35  peter
    * removed some more routines from cga
    * moved location_force_reg/mem to ncgutil
    * moved arrayconstructnode secondpass to ncgld

  Revision 1.22  2002/04/15 19:44:21  peter
    * fixed stackcheck that would be called recursively when a stack
      error was found
    * generic changeregsize(reg,size) for i386 register resizing
    * removed some more routines from cga unit
    * fixed returnvalue handling
    * fixed default stacksize of linux and go32v2, 8kb was a bit small :-)

  Revision 1.21  2002/04/02 17:11:36  peter
    * tlocation,treference update
    * LOC_CONSTANT added for better constant handling
    * secondadd splitted in multiple routines
    * 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 1.20  2002/03/31 20:26:39  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
