dynamically loaded modules into the now-static libyasm. I now anticipate
that there would be very few users of the dynamic loading features, and it
yielded a lot of instability and build headaches for very little benefit.
The new build should now be much more cross-platform and faster (there was
a lot of overhead in finding and loading modules).
* libtool.m4, ltdl.m4: Delete.
* m4/Makefile.am: Rename to m4/Makefile.inc and remove references to above.
Change to use subdirectory (flat) build rather than recursive build.
* Makefile.am: Include m4/Makefile.inc rather than having it in SUBDIRS.
* libltdl: Delete.
* frontends/yasm/yasm-module.c: Delete.
* basename.c, dirname.c: Delete (no longer needed by yasm-module.c).
* genmodule.c, module.in: Generator and template for new module.c included
in libyasm that replaces the old yasm-module.c (module.in is a modified
rename of yasm-module.c).
* module.h: Modified rename of old yasm-module.h.
* libyasm.h: Include libyasm/module.h.
* libyasm/Makefile.inc: Build generator and include module.c in libyasm.
* yasm.c: Use new libyasm module interface.
* (many) Makefile.inc: Remove libtool libraries, build all modules into
libyasm library.
* configure.ac: Remove libtool/libltdl references.
* Mkfiles/vc/yasm-module.c: Remove. Still need to fix some of the other
Mkfiles/ build files for these changes.

(Hopefully) finish cleanups begun in phase 1 (see phase 1 commit message),
making dbgfmt, objfmt, optimizer, and preproc module interfaces follow the
same thread-safe interface style as the phase 1 changes.
Also put in a large number of doxygen documentation cleanups.

As yasm has evolved, various minor additions have been made to libyasm to
support the new features. These minor additions have accumulated, and
some contain significant redundancies. In addition, the core focus of
yasm has begun to move away from the front-end commandline program "yasm"
to focusing on libyasm, a collection of reusable routines for use in all
sorts of programs dealing with code at the assembly level, and the modules
that provide specific features for parsing such code.
This libyasm/module update focuses on cleaning up much of the cruft that
has accumulated in libyasm, standardizing function names, eliminating
redundancies, making many of the core objects more reusable for future
extensions, and starting to make libyasm and the modules thread-safe by
eliminating static variables.
Specific changes include:
- Making a symbol table data structure (no longer global). It follows a
factory model for creating symrecs.
- Label symbols now refer only to bytecodes; bytecodes have a pointer to
their containing section.
- Standardizing on *_create() and *_destroy() for allocation/deallocation.
- Adding a standardized callback mechanism for all data structures that
allow associated data. Allowed the removal of objfmt and
dbgfmt-specific data callbacks in their interfaces.
- Unmodularizing linemgr, but allowing multiple linemap instances (linemgr
is now renamed linemap).
- Remove references to lindex; all virtual lines (from linemap) are now
just "line"s.
- Eliminating the bytecode "type" enum, instead adding a standardized
callback mechanism for custom (and standard internal) bytecode types.
This will make it much easier to add new bytecodes, and eliminate the
possibility of type collisions. This also allowed the removal of the
of_data and df_data bytecodes, as objfmts and dbgfmts can now easily
implement their own bytecodes, and the cleanup of arch's bytecode usage.
- Remove the bytecodehead and sectionhead pseudo-containers, instead
making true containers: section now implements all the functions of
bytecodehead, and the new object data structure implements all the
functions of sectionhead.
- Add object data structure: it's a container that contains sections, a
symbol table, and a line mapping for a single object. Every former use
of sectionhead now takes an object.
- Make arch interface and all standard architectures thread-safe:
yasm_arch_module is the module interface; it contains a create()
function that returns a yasm_arch * to store local yasm_arch data; all
yasm_arch_module functions take the yasm_arch *.
- Make nasm parser thread-safe.
To be done in phase 2: making other module interfaces thread-safe. Note
that while the module interface may be thread-safe, not all modules may be
written in such a fashion (hopefully all the "standard" ones will be, but
this is yet to be determined).

module users to ensure the module interface they're using matches the
interface the module was compiled with. The #define YASM_module_VERSION

WRT, and ':' (SEGOFF) usage. This change also brings the yasm_intnum_calc()
interface in line with the yasm_floatnum_calc() interface.
Note: This may not be the final place we want these error messages to reside,
but the lindex addition should remain for the sake of consistency.

- Move config.h and util.h from libyasm (and installed libyasm) to top level.
- Move yasm_* functions from util.h to coretype.h.
- Remove a number of autoconf-related YASM_*_INTERNAL options from libyasm.h.
- Rename YASM_INTERNAL to YASM_LIB_INTERNAL; it now actually means what the
comment describes: enables definitions that violate the yasm_* namespace.
While we're at it, no longer define YASM_LIB_INTERNAL from yasm frontend, so
it's closer to what a real typical libyasm-using application would look like.

/distances/ between bytecodes in a section using bc_calc_dist() functions (a
"typical" one is provided for most occasions). expr_expand_labelequ() is gone,
as its functionality is integrated into expr_simplify(). Currently these
changes break most bin objfmt output, as it doesn't know how to resolve
absolute labels yet. Also, very preliminary expr support for :, SEG, and WRT
operators has been added (part of Bug#2). Several other minor bug fixes.

intnum_new_int. Currently only just calls intnum_new_uint with a cast, but
eventually there may be a better way of handling signed numbers.

bugfixes to the bc_tobytes() family and other functions. Binary object output
is now close to complete: just a few more bugs to kill!

with regards to resolve_label().
MAJOR FIXME: The tobytes() pass acts like a final optimization pass. This
causes internal errors because of length mismatches (optimized to shorter len).
svn path=/trunk/yasm/; revision=521
Changes to:
objfmt interface: added parameter to directive() for sections access.
section interface: moved start to be present for all section types.
basic optimizer: add section start to offset determination.
(much of the section start changes are due to the need to make sure offsets
don't end up being optimized into byte-sized offsets that can't be relocated).

This is because calc_len may want to know the current bytecode's offset (eg for
determining relative displacement length).
