To compile
----------
Unix systems: unzip -a -L ia64sim.zip
              cd ia64sim
              make -f makefile.unx

DOS-based gcc: pkunzip -d ia64sim.zip
               cd ia64sim
               make -f makefile.dj

Windows VC++: never tried it, but change the int64 typedefs
              in ia64.h and compile all the .c files except
	      make_isa.c [In version 0.2, define WIN32 to ia64.h]
	      You'll need a replacement for strtoll() and
	      strtoul()

To Do
-----
Make a working register stack
Finish off the ISA (I will *not* do it all! Likewise,
   no one *else* should reinvent the x86 ISA for this simulator,
   it's just too much work)

Changes in Version 0.2
-------------------
1. Implements the "G" command, which runs the code from the current IP
   until any error or break is encountered. 
2. Issues a stop to clear the hazards status when the IP is manually changed. 
3. Adds compile, decode, and execute support for break.i, break.b, break.m, and
   break.f instructions.
4. Fixes bug with indirect memory references, such as ld8 r7,[r1],r5. 
5. Returns error code (instead of just message) in pop_stack_frame if stack is
   empty.
6. Fixes a compile problem in b_unit.c:92 assigning int64 to structure.
7. Returns error message instead of aborting when can't open file
   specified in "C" command.
8. Supports M$ int64 types by defining WIN32

Changes in Version 0.3
----------------------
1. All commands shown in help screen are now implemented.
2. "C" and "L" commands now set the program startup environment as per 
    the Intel "Software Conventions and Runtime Architecure Guide".
3. The disassembly output for the "alloc" instruction has been changed from 
   "alloc r=ar.pfs, i, l, o, r" to "alloc r=ar.pfs, {i+l}, o, r" to reflect the 
   actual machine encoding. Previous versions attempted to guess the split
   between "input" and "local" registers, often resulting in impossible
   values, such as "7, -2, 2, 0".
 
Changes in Version 0.4
----------------------
1. First draft of a user manual (doc/ia64user.txt)
2. Systems calls to vprintf and program exit
3. Enhancements to single step and display register commands
4. Trace level command
5. Reset hazards command
6  Various bug fixes

Changes in Version 0.5
----------------------
Supports ELF files created by the Intel IA64 Assembler. Not all relocation
types are yet supported.
