Summary of changes for version 20201217: +This release is available at https://acpica.org/downloads + + +1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem: + +Note: The implementation of ACPI 6.4 is underway, and is expected to be +mostly finished next month, when ACPI 6.4 is released. + +From qzed:- fixed-ae-class-macros. Fix exception code class checks. Added +several new macros, such as ACPI_CNTL_EXCEPTION(Status) in order to +enable this. + +AcpiExec/iASL/AcpiHelp: Added a few changes for support of GCC 10.2.0. +These included a few casts, as well as a null pointer check. + +Fix -Wfallthrough: GCC 7.1 gained -Wimplicit-fallthrough to warn on +implicit fallthrough, as well as __attribute__((__fallthrough__)) and +comments to explicitly denote that cases of fallthrough were intentional. +Clang also supports this warning and statement attribute, but not the +comment form. Added a new macro, ACPI_FALLTHROUGH to support this feature +of GCC. With assistance from @nickdesaulniers. + +2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and ACPICA tools: + +Added improvement to method call analysis by saving the return type and +relaxing certain cases of type checking. + +iASL Table Compiler: Improved info messages. Added a message to the -T +option for when the default template (DSDT) is used. +Also added a note for when multiple SSDTs are created with a DSDT that +the SSDTs are created in the same file as the DSDT. + + +---------------------------------------- 13 November 2020.
