As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago the i486/amd64 directories were
about to merge. This will be visible in b21. The source directories with
the suffix i486/amd64 are now a single directory suffix x86. In addition
for good measure the name win32 has become windows.
A number of the files in the resulting x86 directories have been
completely merged (e.g. os_<os_family>_x86.cpp). Unfortunately since the
merging of the assembler is incomplete there are still some files that
are separate for the 32bit and 64bit versions. The assembler and
template interpreter fall into that category. These files have an
additional suffix _32/_64 to categorize them. So you'll see things like:
assembler_x86_32.cpp
assembler_x86_64.cpp
the hope is that in the future all the _32/_64 suffixes will go away.
Some will go away soon (the assembler) other (templateTable, the .ad
files) will take a long time if ever.
In order to support these 32/64 suffixes new macros were added to the
platform files like:
arch_model = x86_32
or
arch_model = x86_64
This allows the includeDB files to select the proper file. For ports
that aren't as messed up as the i486/amd64 code was. It will suffice to
simply add a line that duplicates the arch line. A good example is a
platform file from sparc
...
arch = sparc
arch_model = sparc
os_arch = solaris_sparc
os_arch_model = solaris_sparc
...
The directories that are created as a result of the builds are not
impacted by these changes.
In the near future (ever the optimist) there will be a 64bit x86 client
compiler as a result of all this.
