Release 1.2.2 better error checks by Burkhard Arenfeld
(20070511) - Check in print_msg() if filename is NULL. Avoid printing a NULL-Pointer.
- Warning, if no .DEVICE was found, because address range check doesn't work without it
- Error, if more than one .DEVICE was found.
- Error, if .DEVICE is after any assembled code or .ORG directive, because .DEVICE resets the address
counters and the assembler builds wrong code.
- Create a list of program segments (see orglist). Every .ORG, .DEVICE, .?SEG is stored, so the
assembler now can check for overlapping segments. Now overlapped segments in Flash, Data or EEPROM memory
are detected. Very usefull, if .ORG is used to build tables or bootloader code at specific addresses.
- Better check for exceeding device space in RAM, Flash or EEPROM memory. Now not the total count of
assembled memory is used, instead every assembled address range is checked.
- .DSEG and .ESEG now generates an error, if device has no RAM / EEPROM.
- Now a warning appears, if a .DEF name is already used as constant or label. Atmel assembler generates this
warning, too.
- Fix a small bug in the example program.
Release 1.2.1 bug fix by Roland Riegel
(20061117) - Some of the high end AVRs use the SRAM adress range from 0x60 to 0x100 for IO extension.
Avra so far used to start with SRAM Usage at 0x60. This is now set from case by case.
Release 1.2.0 released by Burkhard Arenfeld
(20061015)
- Patch segfault, if .error is given without parameter
- Patch segfault, if .device is given with an invalid parameter
- Check in predef_dev() if symbol is already defined. Can happens, if someone
tries to define the symbol with the -D parameter. E.g.: 'avra -D __ATMEGA8__ Test.asm'
now generate error message, because __ATMEGA8__ is reserved
- Add .elseif directive. It's the same like .elif. (Original Atmel assembler use .elseif
and not .elif)
- In .db lines strings can now contain ',' and ';' characters.
- Allow forward declaration of constants (.equ) except for .ifdef and .ifndef.
Invalid forward declarations are checked now. (In the first pass undefined Symbols in
.ifdef and .ifndef parameters are stored in a 'blacklist' and checked in the second pass)
- Extend the .message directive for better debugging. Now it accept not only a String.
You can use a list of expressions like in a .db directive as parameter.
- The assembler 'pass' variable moved into the pi struct. I deleted the pass variable from
a lot of functions.
- New functions in avra.c. It was easier for me, to understand the code without the
for(label = first; ...)-loops. Replaced a lot of for(label = ...) -loops by one of this
functions.

(20060906) - right shift operator bug
