If you've contributed to gas and your name isn't listed here, it is

Dean Elsner wrote the original gas for vax. [more details?]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Jay Fenlason maintained gas for a while, adding support for
|
|
|
|
|
gdb-specific debug information and the 68k series machines, most of
|
|
|
|
|
the preprocessing pass, and extensive changes in messages.c,
|
|
|
|
|
input-file.c, write.c.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
K. Richard Pixley maintained gas for a while, adding various

|
|
|
enhancements and many bug fixes, including merging support for several
|
|
|
|
|
processors, breaking gas up to handle multiple object file format
|
|
|
|
|
backends (including heavy rewrite, testing, an integration of the coff
|
|
|
|
|
and b.out backends), adding configuration including heavy testing and
|
|
|
|
|
verification of cross assemblers and file splits and renaming,
|
|
|
|
|
converted gas to strictly ansi C including full prototypes, added
|
|
|
|
|
support for m680[34]0 & cpu32, considerable work on i960 including a
|
|
|
|
|
coff port (including considerable amounts of reverse engineering), a
|
|
|
|
|
sparc opcode file rewrite, decstation, rs6000, and hp300hpux host
|
|
|
|
|
ports, updated "know" assertions and made them work, much other
|
|
|
|
|
reorganization, cleanup, and lint.

Ken Raeburn currently maintains gas, and wrote the high-level BFD
|
|
|
|
|
interface code to replace most of the code in format-specific I/O
|
|
|
|
|
modules.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The original VMS support was contributed by David L. Kashtan. Eric
|
|
|
|
|
Youngdale has done much work with it since.

|
|
|
|
|
|
Minh Tran-Le at IntelliCorp contributed some AIX 386 support.

The Motorola 88k machine description was contributed by Devon Bowen of
|
|
|
|
|
Buffalo University and Torbjorn Granlund of the Swedish Institute of
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Keith Knowles at the Open Software Foundation wrote the original MIPS
|
|
|
|
|
back end (tc-mips.c, tc-mips.h), and contributed Rose format support
|
|
|
|
|
that hasn't been merged in yet. Ralph Campbell worked with the MIPS
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
Support for the Zilog Z8k and Hitachi H8/300 and H8/500 processors
|
|
|
|
|
(tc-z8k, tc-h8300, tc-h8500), and IEEE 695 object file format
|
|
|
|
|
(obj-ieee), was written by Steve Chamberlain of Cygnus Support. Steve
|
|
|
|
|
also modified the COFF back end to use BFD for some low-level
|
|
|
|
|
operations, for use with the H8/300 and AMD 29k targets.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
John Gilmore worked on the AMD 29000 support. [doing what? any major
|
|
|
|
|
work on other parts?]

Ian Lance Taylor of Cygnus Support merged the Motorola and MIT
|
|
|
|
|
syntaxes for the 68k, completed support for some COFF targets (68k,
|
|
|
|
|
i386 SVR3, and SCO Unix), and made a few other minor patches.
|
|
|

|
|
|

|
Support for generation of listings was added by Steve Chamberlain.

|
|
|
|
|
fixes and configuration enhancements.

|
|
|
|
|
|
