• sections now use MemoryFlags, this new object unifies all the previously used flags (Elf section & segment and mprotect access flags)
• SegmendetedBuffer::add_linkage() no longer accepts the shift parameter, and uses Linkage::Type that bundles the linking function and ELF relocation enumeration. The linking functions are now defined in linkage.cpp
• to_elf() now returns ElfModel (not ElfFile), the typical execute(), save(), etc. functions were moved to ObjectFile. ObjectFile can be obtained from ElfModel by calling .bake().
• Updated VSTL
• TASML now accepts embed statements that allow for inlining of the binary data contained in other files.
• Label class now always create a shared-copy when constructed from other strings. You can still create a non-owning Label using Label::of(const char*) and Label::of(const std::string_view&). This was done in order to fix memory issues.
• x86 writer now verifies if the given immediate can be encoded into the available space.
• Added support for DWARF abbreviations (DwarfAbbreviations) and information (DwarfInformation) entries.
• Added support for encoding DWARF line number information (DwarfLineEmitter), this is made available to TASML users using the source directive.
• Added support for exporting symbols. When a ELF object file is created those symbols may then be linked to using standard linkers (e.g. calling ASMIO created functions from C with GCC). A symbol can be exported in TASML using the export directive. When using a writer this can be done using export_symbol().
• Added support for importing symbols. In TASML you can import a symbol using the import directive. When using a writer this can be done using import_symbol().
• Added new utilities, Pool<T> a vector-like dynamic container that ensures element pointers stay constant, refcnt.hpp that implements new/delete style memory functions with reference counting support, and a few others.
