      • GNUGNU Binutils 2.41 release
        Hi Everyone,
        
        

        We are pleased to announce that version 2.41 of the GNU Binutils project sources have been released and are now available for download at:

        https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils https://sourceware.org/pub/binutils/releases/

        Checksums:

        a4c4bec052f7b8370024e60389e194377f3f48b56618418ea51067f67aaab30b binutils-2.41.tar.bz2 2d046bc2ba09732a2da04f633aaab573e75c785c006dec1382d922532b60c1f7 binutils-2.41.tar.bz2.sig 48d00a8dc73aa7d2394a7dc069b96191d95e8de8f0da6dc91da5cce655c20e45 binutils-2.41.tar.gz 4b1de75756c497d913df84fdef8e7dfb977c77c8ad95ccfdaa2512bcc8983afe binutils-2.41.tar.gz.sig eab3444055882ed5eb04e2743d03f0c0e1bc950197a4ddd31898cd5a2843d065 binutils-2.41.tar.lz 2c13b50fc6e51d1044a6734e13e30c3cfdb02edd146552276e793b44a5e39c87 binutils-2.41.tar.lz.sig ae9a5789e23459e59606e6714723f2d3ffc31c03174191ef0d015bdf06007450 binutils-2.41.tar.xz 6f72b25f95614ecbfd050ffdae628e00e90aec9073e30d8ab366e4fc9d1e9e2d binutils-2.41.tar.xz.sig

        As an experiment these tarballs were made with the new "-r <date>" option supported by the src-release.sh script. This attempts to make reproducible tarballs by sorting the files and passing the "--mtime=<date>" option to tar. The date used for these tarballs was obtained by running:

        git log -1 --format=%cd --date=format:%F bfd/version.m4

        This release contains numerous bug fixes, and also the following new features:

        In the assembler: * Add support for Intel FRED instructions. * Add support for Intel LKGS instructions. * Add support for Intel AMX-COMPLEX instructions. * Add SME2 support to the AArch64 port. * A new .insn directive is recognized by x86 gas. * Add support for LoongArch LSX instructions. * Add support for LoongArch LASX instructions. * Add support for LoongArch LVZ instructions. * Add support for LoongArch LBT instructions. * Initial LoongArch support for linker relaxation has been added. * Deprecate the LoongArch register aliases $v0, $v1, $x, $fv0 and $fv1.

        In the linker: * The linker now accepts a command line option of --remap-inputs <PATTERN>=<FILE> to relace any input file that matches <PATTERN> with <FILE>. In addition the option --remap-inputs-file=<FILE> can be used to specify a file containing any number of these remapping directives.

        * The linker command line option --print-map-locals can be used to include local symbols in a linker map. (ELF targets only).

        * For most ELF based targets, if the --enable-linker-version option is used then the version of the linker will be inserted as a string into the .comment section.

        * The linker script syntax has a new command for output sections: ASCIZ "string" This will insert a zero-terminated string at the current location.

        * Add command-line option, -z nosectionheader, to omit ELF section header.

        In the other binary tools: * The MIPS port now supports the Sony Interactive Entertainment Allegrex processor, used with the PlayStation Portable, which implements the MIPS II ISA along with a single-precision FPU and a few implementation-specific integer instructions.

        * Objdump's --private option can now be used on PE format files to display the fields in the file header and section headers.

        * New versioned release of libsframe: libsframe.so.1. This release introduces versioned symbols with version node name LIBSFRAME_1.0. This release also updates the ABI in an incompatible way: this includes removal of sframe_get_funcdesc_with_addr API, change in the behavior of sframe_fre_get_ra_offset and sframe_fre_get_fp_offset APIs.

        * SFrame Version 2 is now the default (and only) format version supported by gas, ld, readelf and objdump.

        * Add command-line option, --strip-section-headers, to objcopy and strip to remove ELF section header from ELF file.

        * The RISC-V port now supports the following new standard extensions: - Zicond (conditional zero instructions) - Zfa (additional floating-point instructions) - Zvbb, Zvbc, Zvkg, Zvkned, Zvknh[ab], Zvksed, Zvksh, Zvkn, Zvknc, Zvkng, Zvks, Zvksc, Zvkg, Zvkt (vector crypto instructions)

        * The RISC-V port now supports the following vendor-defined extensions: - XVentanaCondOps

        * The LoongArch port now supports the following extensions: - LSX (Loongson SIMD eXtension; 128-bit vectors) - LASX (Loongson Advanced SIMD eXtension; 256-bit vectors) - LVZ (Loongson Virtualization extension) - LBT (Loongson Binary Translation extension)

        * The LoongArch disassembly output received the following tweaks: - Colored output is now supported. - Some pseudo-instructions are now shown in place of the canonical forms, where semantics are equivalent. A disassembler option '-M no-aliases' is added to disable the new behavior. - Signed immediates are no longer printed with their hex representation. - Unrecognized instruction words are now shown with '.word'.

      • GNURelease of GnuCOBOL 3.2
        Hello!
        
        

        More than two and a half year after GnuCOBOL 3.1.2 the GnuCOBOL developers are proud to announce the formal release of GnuCOBOL 3.2.

        What is GnuCOBOL ================

        GnuCOBOL is a free, modern COBOL compiler. It translates COBOL into intermediate C and compiles the code using a native C compiler (preferably GCC, but not limited to it).

        More information about GnuCOBOL can be found at https://www.gnu.org/software/gnucobol/

        Noteworthy changes ==================

        The amount of features are too much to note, but you can skip over the attached NEWS file to investigate them, here are some of the highlights:

        * improved dialect handling including changed defaults to better match the selected dialect (see NEWS if you compile with any -std to know more about the implications), a complete new dialect GCOS and support for more COBOL statements, intrinsic functions and syntax from both "old" and new dialects

        * highly improved run-times for several statements, along with less memory usage, especially if runtime checks are enabled

        * fileio changes to support LINE-SEQUENTIAL per COBOL2023 and runtime options to change the way files are handled, see NEWS and runtime.cfg

        * improvements for source-level debugging via GDB and coredump support

        * improvements for reproducible builds

        GnuCOBOL 3.x keeps full compatibility to GnuCOBOL 2.2, you can therefore use old COBOL modules without recompile, if needed, but may need to adjust your configuration per NEWS entry.

        Getting the Software ====================

        Official source kits can be downloaded from https://ftp.gnu.org/gnucobol/ but we suggest to use a mirror a nearby mirror for higher download bandwidth: https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnucobol

          LPC 2023 will host the second edition of the Rust MC. This microconference intends to cover talks and discussions on both Rust for Linux as well as other non-kernel Rust topics. Proposals can be submitted via LPC submission system, selecting the Rust MC track.

          Rust is a systems programming language that is making great strides in becoming the next big one in the domain. Rust for Linux is the project adding support for the Rust language to the Linux kernel.

          Rust has a key property that makes it very interesting as the second language in the kernel: it guarantees no undefined behavior takes place (as long as unsafe code is sound). This includes no use-after-free mistakes, no double frees, no data races, etc. It also provides other important benefits, such as improved error handling, stricter typing, sum types, pattern matching, privacy, closures, generics, etc.

    • Standards/Consortia

      • Shirish Agarwal: Manipur, Data Leakage, Aadhar, and IRCv3

        This is the biggest pain point in both. I failed to register via either Pidgin or Hexchat. I couldn’t find a way in either client to register my handle. I have had on/off relationships with IRC over the years, the biggest issue being IIRC is that if you stop using your handle for a month or two others can use it. IIRC, every couple of months or so, irc/oftc releases the dormant ones. Matrix/Vector has done quite a lot in that regard but that’s a different thing altogether so for the moment will keep that aside.

  • Leftovers
