  Revision 1.58  2002/11/15 16:29:30  peter
    * made tasmsymbol.refs private (merged)

  Revision 1.57  2002/10/20 15:34:16  peter
    * removed df_unique flag. It breaks code. For a good type=type <id>
      a def copy is required

  Revision 1.56  2002/10/19 15:09:25  peter
    + tobjectdef.members_need_inittable that is used to generate only the
      inittable when it is really used. This saves a lot of useless calls
      to fpc_finalize when destroying classes

  Revision 1.55  2002/10/14 19:45:02  peter
    * only allow threadvar when threading switch is defined

  Revision 1.54  2002/10/06 12:25:05  florian
    + proper support of type <id> = type <another id>;

  Revision 1.53  2002/08/25 19:25:19  peter
    * sym.insert_in_data removed
    * symtable.insertvardata/insertconstdata added
    * removed insert_in_data call from symtable.insert, it needs to be
      called separatly. This allows to deref the address calculation
    * procedures now calculate the parast addresses after the procedure
      directives are parsed. This fixes the cdecl parast problem
    * push_addr_param has an extra argument that specifies if cdecl is used
      or not

  Revision 1.52  2002/08/12 15:08:40  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 1.51  2002/08/11 14:32:27  peter
    * renamed current_library to objectlibrary

  Revision 1.50  2002/08/11 13:24:12  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 1.49  2002/07/29 21:23:43  florian
    * more fixes for the ppc
    + wrappers for the tcnvnode.first_* stuff introduced

  Revision 1.48  2002/07/01 18:46:25  peter
    * internal linker
    * reorganized aasm layer

  Revision 1.47  2002/06/12 13:20:29  jonas
    * fix from Florian for init/final info of forward classes

  Revision 1.46  2002/05/18 13:34:12  peter
    * readded missing revisions

  Revision 1.45  2002/05/16 19:46:42  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 1.43  2002/05/12 16:53:08  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 1.42  2002/04/19 15:46:02  peter
    * mangledname rewrite, tprocdef.mangledname is now created dynamicly
      in most cases and not written to the ppu
    * add mangeledname_prefix() routine to generate the prefix of
      manglednames depending on the current procedure, object and module
    * removed static procprefix since the mangledname is now build only
      on demand from tprocdef.mangledname

  Revision 1.41  2002/03/04 17:54:59  peter
    * allow oridinal labels again
