Summary of changes for version 20171214: + + +1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem: + +Fixed a regression in the external (public) AcpiEvaluateObjectTyped +interface where the optional "pathname" argument had inadvertently become +a required argument returning an error if omitted (NULL pointer +argument). + +Fixed two possible memory leaks related to the recently developed "late +resolution" of reference objects within ASL Package Object definitions. + +Added two recently defined _OSI strings: "Windows 2016" and "Windows +2017". Mario Limonciello. + +Implemented and deployed a safer version of the C library function +strncpy: AcpiUtSafeStrncpy. The intent is to at least prevent the +creation of unterminated strings as a possible result of a standard +strncpy. + +Cleaned up and restructured the global variable file (acglobal.h). There +are many changes, but no functional changes. + + +2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: + +iASL Table Compiler: Fixed a problem with the DBG2 ACPI table where the +optional OemData field at the end of the table was incorrectly required +for proper compilation. It is now correctly an optional field. + +ASLTS: The entire suite was converted from standard ASL to the ASL+ +language, using the ASL-to-ASL+ converter which is integrated into the +iASL compiler. A binary compare of all output files has verified the +correctness of the conversion. + +iASL: Fixed the source code build for platforms where "char" is unsigned. +This affected the iASL lexer only.
