iASL 20120913 ebuild

13 September 2012. Summary of changes for version 20120913:

This release is available at https://www.acpica.org/downloads The ACPI 5.0 
specification is available at www.acpi.info

1) ACPICA Kernel-resident Subsystem:

ACPI 5.0: Added two new notify types for the Hardware Error Notification 
Structure within the Hardware Error Source Table (HEST) table -- CMCI(5) and 
MCE(6).
 
Table Manager: Merged/removed duplicate code in the root table resize 
functions. One function is external, the other is internal. Lv Zheng, ACPICA 
BZ 846.

Makefiles: Completely removed the obsolete "Linux" makefiles under 
acpica/generate/linux. These makefiles are obsolete and have been replaced by 
the generic unix makefiles under acpica/generate/unix.

Makefiles: Ensure that binary files always copied properly. Minor rule change 
to ensure that the final binary output files are always copied up to the 
appropriate binary directory (bin32 or bin64.)

Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent 
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 32-bit compiler. The debug 
version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much 
larger code and data size.

  Previous Release:
    Non-Debug Version:  93.8K Code, 25.3K Data, 119.1K Total
    Debug Version:     175.7K Code, 74.8K Data, 250.5K Total
  Current Release:
    Non-Debug Version:  93.7K Code, 25.3K Data, 119.0K Total
    Debug Version:     175.0K Code, 74.4K Data, 249.4K Total


2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:

Disassembler: Fixed a possible fault during the disassembly of resource 
descriptors when a second parse is required because of the invocation of 
external control methods within the table. With assistance from 
[e-mail]. ACPICA BZ 976.

iASL: Fixed a namepath optimization problem. An error can occur if the parse 
node that contains the namepath to be optimized does not have a parent node 
that is a named object. This change fixes the problem.

iASL: Fixed a regression where the AML file is not deleted on errors. The AML 
output file should be deleted if there are any errors during the compiler. The 
only exception is if the -f (force output) option is used. ACPICA BZ 974.

iASL: Added a feature to automatically increase internal line buffer sizes. 
Via realloc(), automatically increase the internal line buffer sizes as 
necessary to support very long source code lines. The current version of the 
preprocessor requires a buffer long enough to contain full source code lines. 
This change increases the line buffer(s) if the input lines go beyond the 
current buffer size. This eliminates errors that occurred when a source code 
line was longer than the buffer.

iASL: Fixed a problem with constant folding in method declarations. The 
SyncLevel term is a ByteConstExpr, and incorrect code would be generated if a 
Type3 opcode was used.

Debugger: Improved command help support. For incorrect argument count, display 
full help for the command. For help command itself, allow an argument to 
specify a command.

Test Suites: Several bug fixes for the ASLTS suite reduces the number of 
errors during execution of the suite. Guan Chao.
