              if  necessary the compiler will call a method

            * The a_load_XX_XX with OP_64 needn't to be
              implemented for 32 bit
              processors, the code generator takes care of that
            * the addr size is for work with the natural pointer
              size
            * the procedures without fpu/mm are only for integer usage
            * normally the first location is the source and the

    * fixed regvars so they work with newra (at least for ppc)
    * fixed some volatile register bugs
    + -dnotranslation option for -dnewra, which causes the registers not to
      be translated from virtual to normal registers. Requires support in
      the assembler writer as well, which is only implemented in aggas/
      agppcgas currently

  Revision 1.115  2003/07/23 11:01:14  jonas
    * several rg.allocexplicitregistersint/rg.deallocexplicitregistersint
      pairs round calls to helpers

  Revision 1.114  2003/07/06 17:58:22  peter
    * framepointer fixes for sparc
    * parent framepointer code more generic

  Revision 1.113  2003/07/02 22:18:04  peter

    + added freeintparaloc
    * ppc get/freeintparaloc now check whether the parameter regs are
      properly allocated/deallocated (and get an extra list para)
    * ppc a_call_* now internalerrors if pi_do_call is not yet set
    * fixed lot of missing pi_do_call's

  Revision 1.108  2003/06/06 14:43:02  peter
    * g_copyopenarrayvalue gets length reference
    * don't copy open arrays for cdecl

  Revision 1.107  2003/06/03 21:11:09  peter
    * cg.a_load_* get a from and to size specifier
    * makeregsize only accepts newregister
    * i386 uses generic tcgnotnode,tcgunaryminus

  Revision 1.106  2003/06/03 13:01:59  daniel
    * Register allocator finished

    * op_const_reg size parameter added
    * sparc updates

  Revision 1.104  2003/06/01 01:02:39  peter
    * generic a_call_ref

  Revision 1.103  2003/05/30 23:57:08  peter
    * more sparc cleanup
    * accumulator removed, splitted in function_return_reg (called) and
      function_result_reg (caller)

  Revision 1.102  2003/05/30 23:49:18  jonas
    * a_load_loc_reg now has an extra size parameter for the destination
      register (properly fixes what I worked around in revision 1.106 of
      ncgutil.pas)

  Revision 1.101  2003/05/30 21:40:00  jonas
    * fixed bug in a_load_loc_ref (the source instead of dest size was passed
      to a_load_reg_ref in case of a register)

  Revision 1.100  2003/05/30 12:36:13  jonas
    * use as little different registers on the ppc until newra is released,
      since every used register must be saved

      objectfiles will also be stored to the tasmlibrarydata class
    * all getlabel/newasmsymbol and friends are moved to the new class

  Revision 1.45  2002/08/10 17:15:20  jonas

  Revision 1.37  2002/07/20 11:57:53  florian
    * types.pas renamed to defbase.pas because D6 contains a types
      unit so this would conflicts if D6 programms are compiled
