Download release:

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/lightning/lightning-2.2.3.tar.gz

  GNU Lightning 2.2.3 main new features:

  • PowerPC port now optimize for a variable stack frame size and only create a stack frame if a non leaf function.
  • New callee test to ensure register values saved on the stack are not corrupted when calling a jit or C function. While no problem was found in any port, the new test was added to make sure there were no failures.
  • Add back the jit_hmul interface, from Lightning 1.x. There are special cases where it is desirable to only know the high part of a multiplication.
  • Correct wrong implementation of zero right shift with two registers output.
  • Add new pre and post increment for load and store instructions.
  • Several minor bug fixes.
