GNU lightning 2.1.1 released!

Item posted by Paulo César Pereira de Andrade <pcpa> on Thu 14 Sep 2017 05:58:39 PM UTC.

GNU lightning is a library to aid in making portable programs
that compile assembly code at run time.

Development:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/lightning.git

Download release:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/lightning/lightning-2.1.1.tar.gz

2.1.1 adds support for jit_allocar for runtime alloca, contrary to
jit_allocai that provides a static offset allocation.
2.1.1 also adds support for jit_va_start, jit_va_arg, jit_va_arg_d
and jit_va_end, that implements C compatible varargs functions.
Note: alpha, hppa, mips (n32 abi), ppc (Darwin abi) and sparc ports
are no longer supported due to lack of a test environment.

o Do not use a dangling pointer for double to integer copy.

x86:
o Correct issues in load and store in the x32 abi.

o Correct Fibonacci number generation examples.
o Correct wrong jit_movr simplification.
o Correct wrong live register information for some complex patterns.
o Adapt for binutils 2.29.
