is now available under:

Thanks.

There is one concern:
This has been discussed some weeks ago.
The compiler throws dozens of errors on some DSDTs:

DSDT.dsl   777:                     , AddressRangeMemory, TypeStatic)
Error    1084 -            Missing ResourceSource string (required) ^

I cannot find the mail now, but IIRC Len said this was added to identify
how many DSDTs violate specs (is it optional or not?) and should be removed
again later.

The patch attached lowers the error to a warning, so that you get a compiled
DSDT as output.
Not sure, maybe the error/warning case should be reverted totally?

RE: Latest acpica

[Moore, Robert]

The compilation errors of this form:


dsdt_org.dsl   149:                     , AddressRangeMemory,
TypeStatic)

Error    1094 -                Missing ResourceSource string (required)
^

 
are caused by specifying a ResourceIndex with no corresponding
ResourceString.  We recently tightened up the iASL compiler to detect
this condition and flag it as an error, as per the following text from
the ACPI specification, 3.0:


DWord Address Space Descriptor 

Byte 46
 Resource Source Index
 (Optional) Only present if Resource Source (below) is present. This
field gives an index to the specific resource descriptor that this
device consumes from in the current resource template for the device
object pointed to in Resource Source.
 


A relevant ASL source statement is below.

 

                DWordMemory (ResourceProducer, PosDecode, MinFixed,
MaxFixed, Cacheable, ReadWrite,

                    0x00000000, // Address Space Granularity

                    0x000A0000, // Address Range Minimum

                    0x000BFFFF, // Address Range Maximum

                    0x00000000, // Address Translation Offset

                    0x00020000, 0x00,,

                    , AddressRangeMemory, TypeStatic)

 

It is the 0x00 that is causing the issue, it should not be there.

 

However, we recently changed the disassembler to detect this condition
within existing AML code and to emit ASL code that is compilable.  In
this case, the statement comes out of the disassembler like this:

 

                DWordMemory (ResourceProducer, PosDecode, MinFixed,
MaxFixed, Cacheable, ReadWrite,

                    0x00000000, // Address Space Granularity

                    0x000A0000, // Address Range Minimum

                    0x000BFFFF, // Address Range Maximum

                    0x00000000, // Address Translation Offset

                    0x00020000,,,

                    , AddressRangeMemory, TypeStatic)

 

Which is compilable code.

 

This change to the disassembler appeared in ACPICA version 20050617:

 

Enhanced the disassembler to emit compilable code in the face of
incorrect AML resource descriptors. If the optional ResourceSourceIndex
is present, but the ResourceSource is not, do not emit the
ResourceSourceIndex in the disassembly. Otherwise, the resulting code
cannot be compiled without errors.

Re: Latest acpica

[Frank]

I am having problems compiling this compiler on AMD64.
It throws the following error message:

[compiler] $ make
cc -Wall -O2 -Wstrict-prototypes -D_LINUX -DACPI_ASL_COMPILER -I../include    
-c -o aslcompilerlex.o aslcompilerlex.c
aslcompiler.l: In function `comment':
aslcompiler.l:847: error: `yytext_ptr' undeclared (first use in this function)
aslcompiler.l:847: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
aslcompiler.l:847: error: for each function it appears in.)
make: *** [aslcompilerlex.o] Error 1

This is not a new error though, I have had it for at least the 20050309 and 
20050513 release. It happens with GCC 3.3, 3.4 and 4.0... anybody an idea? It 
can't be happening only to me, can it?

Thanks,
Frank

I had no problems compiling the code on x86_64.
Maybe you have to update lex/yacc packages?

Ok, thanks.
Then the DSDT posted lately in (subject) "Compal EFL30 ACPI"
Cannot be compiled with newer ACPICA versions because it has been disassembled
with an older iasl...

Are you on Debian?  I think this means you need to install flex-old.

Do Intel have any plans to make this compatible with versions of GNU flex
after 2.5.4a?

I've never looked into it in any detail.  From the Debian description:

 The behaviour of Flex has undergone a major change since version
 2.5.4a; Flex scanners are now reenterant, you may have multiple
 scanners in the same program with differing sets of defaults, and
 they play nicer with modern C and C++ compilers. The Flip side is
 that Flex no longer conforms to the POSIX lex behaviour, and the
 scanners require conforming implementations when flex is used in ANSI
 C mode. The package flex-old provides the older behaviour.

The GNU web page has some more detail:

http://www.gnu.org/software/flex/manual/html_chapter/flex_20.html#SEC20

and there's a bug showing exactly this problem being encountered here:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=191942

The important bit is probably the quote:

	The relevant change in the new flex is that it's no longer valid
	to call unput() from the section after %%, only in actions or
	in the %{ ... %} section.

HTH.

Thanks a lot, this solved it. Maybe a note on the download page might be

I am using GNU flex 2.5.31. I was able to get it to build (on x86_64 even)
with the attached patch. I have also attached the warnings, in case those
are of interest.

(Any Debian people want to package iasl?)

I submitted the ITP, but I'm wondering which licence it is supposed to
be. On the Intel site the Linux package is said to be GPLed but
downloaded files (and the www licence agreement) don't report that as
this is the Unix version.

I also gave a shot to the acpisrc tool that moves everything into a
GPLv2 + CodeStyle clean source tree but the generated source doesn't
build.

Could anybody clarify it?

Thanks a lot

When you cut through the legalese, the ACPICA license, which is what the
acpica-unix release is released under, is BSD-style. (Proof of this is that
FreeBSD uses it ;-) So there shouldn't be any licensing issues.

As for acpisrc, it is a very specialized tool that works in conjunction with
some shellscripts to Linuxize the code. I don't think it is worth packaging,
since only the guy who ports CA releases to Linux (i.e. Len Brown) really
uses it... but it's there for the curious. (a nit: it doesn't attach GPLv2,
it attaches dual BSD/GPLv2.)

I tried building my DSDT with a patched iasl built with the latest flex
available in debian (2.5.31) but it seems the -l flag is doing more bad
than good. I get a bunch of (meaningless) errors:

DSDT.dsl    34:     Scope (\_GPE)
Error    1094 -                ^ syntax error, unexpected PARSEOP_NAMESEG, expecting ')'

DSDT.dsl    38:             Notify (\_SB.PCI0.USB1, 0x02)
Error    1094 -                        ^ syntax error, unexpected PARSEOP_NAMESEG, expecting ','

DSDT.dsl    38:             Notify (\_SB.PCI0.USB1, 0x02)

DSDT.dsl    43:             Notify (\_SB.PCI0.USB2, 0x02)
Error    1094 -                        ^ syntax error, unexpected PARSEOP_NAMESEG, expecting ','
...
...
ASL Input:  DSDT.dsl - 3597 lines, 124899 bytes, 20 keywords
Compilation complete. 15 Errors, 0 Warnings, 0 Remarks, 2 Optimizations

while building with flex-old I only get:

DSDT.dsl  1347:                     Field (ECR, AnyAcc, Lock, Preserve)
Error    1073 -                              ^ Host Operation Region requires ByteAcc access

ASL Input:  DSDT.dsl - 3896 lines, 131852 bytes, 1959 keywords
Compilation complete. 1 Errors, 0 Warnings, 0 Remarks, 388 Optimizations

So I'll probably simply build-depend on flex-old by now and I'll try to learn
more of flex soon :)

It is my understanding that only flex-old will work to build iASL,
because the new flex is not compatible with lex in some important areas.

 

I don't know any more than this.

Debian may be OK using flex-old but distros less concerned with backwards
compatibility, such as Red Hat Fedora, no longer ship it. "flex -l" got it
compiling but produced compilation errors (see Mattia's email), so I'd think
it probably just needs a few more nudges to start working.

Once it compiles, then we can package it and get it added to the Fedora
Extras repo. Then FC users can type "yum install iasl" and have it
automatically installed and ready to go, which I think would make getting
started with iasl a lot easier.
