- refactored arm calling conventions' callvm code, so that the code that keeps the caller from overwriting the return value on some platforms also works on OpenBSD (before we casted the function pointer to have long long as return type, to hint the caller that there is one, but that triggers an intentional SIGABRT on OpenBSD for security reasons; now the decl reflects this, directly)

portasm - a toolkit for writing portable generic assembler sources 
------------------------------------------------------------------

Copyright (C) 2011 Daniel Adler <dadler@uni-goettingen.de>.
Licensed under BSD two-clause license.


Requirements
------------
- C Preprocessor


Supported Architectures and Tool-chains:
----------------------------------------

- x86: gas, apple as, masm
- x64: gas, apple as, masm
- ppc: gas, apple as
- arm: gas, apple as


Usage:
------

Implement assembler sources in *.S files which use C preprocessor.
#include portasm-<ARCH>.S at front

In order to generate MASM files for X86 and X64, run 
  'gen-masm.sh <name>' script which reads <name>.S and outputs <name>.masm file.


Common Macros:
--------------

BEGIN_ASM
END_ASM
BEGIN_PROC(name)
END_PROC(name)
GLOBAL(name)
HEX(value)
