The immediate in the add instruction is only 12 bits. If the offset
does not fit, we must move it into a register first.
|
|
According to the ARMv8 overview document
However if SP is used as the base register then the value of the stack
pointer prior to adding any offset must be quadword (16 byte) aligned,
or else a stack alignment exception will be generated.
This manifests as a bus error on my system.
To resolve this, just save registers two at a time with stp.

In this case, the immediate is too large to use directly in the add/sub
instructions, so move it into a temporary register first.
Also, for clarity, rearrange the if-conditions so that they match the
constraints of the instructions that immediately follow.

The ldrb and ldrh instructions require a 32-bit register name for the
destination and will clear the upper 32-bits of that register.

In this case, the potential truncations
flagged by gcc are only affecting debug
information.

Compiler warned about comparison between signed and unsigned values.

|
The stashing of constants in gas.c was also
changed to support 16-bytes constants.

Symbols in the source file are still limited in
length because the rest of the code assumes that
strings always fit in NString bytes.
Regardless, there is already a benefit because
comparing/copying symbol names does not require
using strcmp()/strcpy() anymore.
