This was causing assembler bugs in a tcc compiled by itself
at i386-asm.c:352 when ExprValue.v was changed to uint64_t:
if (op->e.v == (int8_t)op->e.v)
op->type |= OP_IM8S;
A general test case:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
long long ll = 4000;
int i = (char)ll;
printf("%d\n", i);
return 0;
}
Output was "4000", now "-96".
Also: add "asmtest2" as asmtest with tcc compiled by itself
There were two errors in the arithmetic imm8 instruction. They accept
only REGW, and in case the user write a xxxb opcode that variant
needs to be rejected as well (it's not automatically rejected by REGW
in case the destination is memory).
Two things: negative constants were rejected (e.g. "add $-15,%eax").
Second the insn order was such that the arithmetic IM8S forms
weren't used (always the IM32 ones). Switching them prefers those
but requires a fix for size calculation in case the opcodes were
OPC_ARITH and OPC_WLX (whose size starts with 1, not zero).
Fix it to actually be able to parse 64bit immediates (enlarge
operand value type). Then, generally there's no need for accepting
IM64 anywhere, except in the 0xba+r mov opcodes, so OP_IM is
unnecessary, as is OPT_IMNO64. Improve the generated code a bit
by preferring the 0xc7 opcode for im32->reg64, instead of the
im64->reg64 form (which we therefore hardcode).
A bag of assembler fixes, to be either compatible with GAS
(e.g. order of 'test' operands), accept more instructions,
count correct foo{bwlq} variants on x86_64, fix modrm/sib bytes
on x86_64 to not use %rip relative addressing mode, to not use
invalid insns in tests/asmtest.S for x86_64.
Result is that now output of GAS and of tcc on tests/asmtest.S
is mostly the same.
