1.19.0

[1.19.0] - 2023-12-04

Added

• Try to detect when instructions are setting the $gp register with the
  passed GP_VALUE and use the _gp symbol instead of symbolizing an
  unrelated symbol.
  • This check is only applied on non PIC mode.
• Track if a symbol is accessed with a %gp_rel.
• Add --sequential-label-names option to rename branch and jump table labels
  after their containing function (#142).
  • Thanks @cadmic

Changed

• Emit which symbol produced the generation of an automatically generated and
  unused pad.
• Change how the variables csv file is parsed: If the size column is either
  empty, a dash (-) or zero then that column is ignored.
• Autogenerated symbol names are now padded up to 8 hex digits, contrary to the
  old 6 hex digits.
  • Since this may be a breaking change for some people the old functionallity
    can be restored by enabling the GlobalConfig.LEGACY_SYM_ADDR_ZERO_PADDING
    setting, or by passing --legacy-sym-addr-zero-padding when invoking a
    command line front-end.

Deprecated

• GlobalConfig.LEGACY_SYM_ADDR_ZERO_PADDING (and the CLI version
  --legacy-sym-addr-zero-padding) are deprecated.
  • There's no replacement for this option.

Fixed

• Avoid using the wrong immediate for gp-relative references if the address
  could not be symbolized.
  • In example, if said address is outside of the known address range.
• Fix some niche cases where spimdisasm may emit duplicated data symbol labels
  but without their data.
