0.3.0

[0.3.0] - 2024-08-17

Added

• Add new top-level attribute for the file format: symbol_assignments.
  • Allows to define symbols directly on the generated linker script.
  • Symbols created this way can be defined with raw addresses, reference other
    symbols or more complex expressions.
  • These generated symbols do not have a corresponding section (defined as
    ABS symbols on the elf).
  • If a symbol assignment is emitted or not can be controlled with the same
    conditional inclussion/exclussion mechanism used by the custom options.
  • These definitions can be wrapped in PROVIDE, HIDDEN or PROVIDE_HIDDEN.
• Add new top-level attribute for the file format: required_symbols.
  • Allows to specify a list of symbols that should be forced to be linked into
    the build, even if they are not refenced by any other linked code.
  • Useful for making sure a symbol from an static library is being linked.
  • If a symbol assignment is emitted or not can be controlled with the same
    conditional inclussion/exclussion mechanism used by the custom options.
• Add way to define a non hardcoded _gp symbol for a given segment.
  • Used by defining the gp_info field on a segment.
  • Can't be combined with the global hardcoded_gp_value.
• Add new top-level attribute for the file format: entry.
  • Specifies the entrypoint for the build.
• Add new top-level attribute for the file format: asserts.
  • Allows to define multiple assertions that should be satisfied for the link
    to success.
• New keep_sections attribute for vram_classes, segments and files.
  • Allows to specify which sections of a files should be KEEP during link
    time garbage collection, even of those are not referenced at al by anything
    else.
  • Allows to configure for everything referencing a given vram class or as
    fine grained as a single file entry.
• New sections_subgroups attribute for settings and segments.
  • Allows to specify one or multiple sections that should be emitted alongside
    another section for each file, instead of getting their own "proper"
    section.

Changed

• Produce an error if the user specifies an empty conditional
  inclusion/exclusion for any entry.
• Make sure all platforms use forward slashes when emitting file paths.
• Tests now strip the \r character from the expected files before compaing
  them.
  • This is done to normalize the tests files accross all platforms, including
    the ones where git may add \r characters when cloning the repository
    (like Windows).
• Github Actions:
  • Change CI to run tests on all platforms we generate builds artifacts for.
  • Use the ARM Mac Github runner to build and test the ARM Mac builds.
  • Merge run_tests and release jobs to try to improve CI times.
