15 ;;; a fixup of some kind
17 (:constructor make-fixup (name flavor &optional offset))
19 ;; the name and flavor of the fixup. The assembler makes no
20 ;; assumptions about the contents of these fields; their semantics
21 ;; are imposed by the dumper.
24 ;; OFFSET is an optional offset from whatever external label this
25 ;; fixup refers to. Or in the case of the :CODE-OBJECT flavor of
26 ;; fixups on the :X86 architecture, NAME is always NIL, so this
27 ;; fixup doesn't refer to an external label, and OFFSET is an offset
28 ;; from the beginning of the current code block.
31 ;;; KLUDGE: Despite its name, this is not a list of FIXUP objects, but rather a
32 ;;; list of `(,KIND ,FIXUP ,POSN). Perhaps this non-mnemonicity could be
33 ;;; reduced by naming what's currently a FIXUP structure a FIXUP-REQUEST, and
34 ;;; then renaming *FIXUPS* to *NOTED-FIXUPS*.-- WHN 19990905
37 ;;; Setting this variable lets you see what's going on as items are
38 ;;; being pushed onto *FIXUPS*.
39 #!+sb-show (defvar *show-fixups-being-pushed-p* nil)
41 ;;; This function is called by assembler instruction emitters when
42 ;;; they find themselves trying to deal with a fixup.

48 ;; Why use EMIT-BACK-PATCH to cause this PUSH to
49 ;; be done later, instead of just doing it now?
50 ;; I'm not sure. Perhaps there's some concern
51 ;; that POSN isn't known accurately now? Perhaps
52 ;; there's a desire for all fixing up to go
53 ;; through EMIT-BACK-PATCH whether it needs to or
54 ;; not? -- WHN 19990905
