BR 2010180: outobj: Garbage may be written in a last PUBDEF
The testcase illustrates the problem. After "nasm -f obj
alonesym.nasm"
let's look to dump:
======
PUBDEF386(91) recnum:5, offset:0000005bh, len:03f9h, chksum:bbh(bb)
Group: 0, Seg: 1
00020000h - 'sym0000' Type:0
00020004h - 'sym0001' Type:0
....
00020134h - 'sym0077' Type:0
PUBDEF(90) recnum:6, offset:00000457h, len:000ah, chksum:b6h(b6)
Group: 0, Seg: 1
00000138h - 's' Type:2
0000b600h - '' Type:0
======
The problem is while 's' offset is 20138h it is marked as type 90h not
91h. The root cause is located in obj_x():
static ObjRecord *obj_x(ObjRecord * orp, uint32_t val)
{
if (orp->type & 1)
orp->x_size = 32;
if (val > 0xFFFF)
orp = obj_force(orp, 32);
if (orp->x_size == 32)
return (obj_dword(orp, val));
orp->x_size = 16;
return (obj_word(orp, val));
}
It sets up x_size and than writes data. In the testcase data are the
offset and this offset overflows a record. In this case the record is
emitted and its x_size is cleared. Because this is last PUBDEF the new
record with only 's' symbol is emitted also but its x_size is not 32
(it's still zero) so obj_fwrite doesn't switch to 91h type.
The problem seems to be very generic and expected to be occurred on
many other record types as well.
----
And the fix is simple:
if (orp->x_size == 32)
{
ObjRecord * nxt = obj_dword(orp, val);
nxt->x_size = 32; /* x_size is cleared when a record overflows */
return nxt;

Somewhat more clever way to generate the %use guard macros
Automatically generate a %define as the first string in the include
block, and just pick the string out of it from that %define statement
to verify existence. That way we eliminate any use of toupper() --
all case-insensitivity in NASM uses tolower()/nasm_tolower().

Protect %use from multi-inclusion and provide a test macro
Automatically provide an include guard for %use packages; the macro
__USE_package__ is automatically defined, and inclusion is suppressed
if it is already defined.

doc: framework for documenting standard macro packages
Add a framework for documenting the standard macro packages. Also
move the standard macros to the end of the preprocessor section,
instead of having them in the middle of the directives list.

%use: call these directives "standard macro packages"
Adopt the term "standard macro packages", "modules" are too
ambiguous.

macros.pl: need to use $' to get proper left-to-right behaviour
Using ^(.*) means we do right-to-left search, since (.*) is a greedy
expression; instead use $' to get the lead-in part of the string.

macros.c: compress by tokenizing macro directives
Compress macros.c by representing macro directives with a single byte.
We can do this because we only use the ASCII character range inside
the standard macro files.
Note: we could save significant additional space by not having a
pointer array, and instead relying on the fact that we sweep
sequentially through the output array.

preproc: add support for builtin include modules (%use)
Add a builtin equivalent to the %include directive called %use.
%use includes a standard macro file compiled into the binary; these
come from the macros/ directory in the source code.
The idea here is to be able to provide optional macro packages with
the distribution, without adding complex host filesystem dependencies.

doc: for ps to pdf conversion, use "acrodist", "ps2pdf" or "pstopdf"
For PostScript to PDF conversion, use whichever of "acrodist",
"ps2pdf", or "pstopdf" which we can find on the system. I haven't
tried either acrodist or pstopdf myself, only going my the
documentation, but prefer acrodist since it is claimed to produce
smaller output files than ps2pdf.
