NASM 2..04 Release

雖然我的工作都改用YASM 了, 不過還是會注意一下NASM 的發展, 它其實已經在 2.05rc3 了, 可能最近就要發2.05 了吧, 不過貼一下它的2.04 的Change log 吧

• Sanitize macro handing in the %error directive.
• New %warning directive to issue user−controlled warnings.
• %error directives are now deferred to the final assembly phase.
• New %fatal directive to immediately terminate assembly.
• New %strcat directive to join quoted strings together.
• New %use macro directive to support standard macro directives. See section 4.6.4.
• Excess default parameters to %macro now issues a warning by default. See section 4.3.
• Fix %ifn and %elifn.
• Fix nested %else clauses.
• Correct the handling of nested %reps.
• New %unmacro directive to undeclare a multi−line macro. See section 4.3.10.
• Builtin macro __PASS__ which expands to the current assembly pass. See section 4.11.9.
• __utf16__ and __utf32__ operators to generate UTF−16 and UTF−32 strings. See section 3.4.5.
• Fix bug in case−insensitive matching when compiled on platforms that don’t use the configure script.
Of the official release binaries, that only affected the OS/2 binary.
• Support for x87 packed BCD constants. See section 3.4.7.
• Correct the LTR and SLDT instructions in 64−bit mode.
• Fix unnecessary REX.W prefix on indirect jumps in 64−bit mode.
• Add AVX versions of the AES instructions (VAES...).
• Fix the 256−bit FMA instructions.
• Add 256−bit AVX stores per the latest AVX spec.
• VIA XCRYPT instructions can now be written either with or without REP, apparently different versions of
the VIA spec wrote them differently.
• Add missing 64−bit MOVNTI instruction.
• Fix the operand size of VMREAD and VMWRITE.
• Numerous bug fixes, especially to the AES, AVX and VTX instructions.
• The optimizer now always runs until it converges. It also runs even when disabled, but doesn’t optimize.
This allows most forward references to be resolved properly.
