* Writing out ELF files is close to working but the following needs to
be examined more closely:
- ELF files are written with the wrong E_MACHINE value because
ELFObjectWriter::WriteHeader function does not yet support
target specific E_MACHINE values.
- ELF relocation records are incorrect because the function
ELFObjectWriter::RecordRelocation is hard coded for X86/X86-64.
- Relocations use 2-byte / 4-byte to terminology in reference to
the size of the immediate value being changed. The Xilinx
terminology seems to be (???) 4-byte / 8-byte in reference
to the number of bytes of instructions that are being changed.
- BRLID and like instructions are always assumed to use a 4-byte
immediate value for the relocation and BEQID and like instructions
are always assumed to use a 2-byte immediate value for the relocation.
I think this means that conditional branches like BEQID can only
branch += 32768 bytes (~8192 instructions). We should allow conditional
branches to use 4-byte relocations but I'm not sure how to do that
right now.
* Code generation seems to work relatively well now but the following
needs to be examined more closely:
- The stack layout needs to be examined to make sure it meets
the standard, especially in regards to var arg functions.
- The delay slot filler is ad hoc but seems to work. Load and
store instructions were prevented from being moved to delay
slots but I'm not sure that is necessary.
