Previously, I used a shell script to extract modification date ranges
from the Git history, but that was complicated and unreliable, so now
every file just gets the same year range in its copyright header. If
someone needs to know when a specific file was modified and by whom,
they can look at the Git history themselves; no need to include it
redundantly in the header.
This is necessary to avoid name conflicts on various platforms. For
example, iOS has its own util.h, and Windows has a process.h. By
including our version as e.g. "avian/util.h", we avoid confusion with
the system version.
The eventual intent with the lir namespace is to formalize some of
the important bits of Assembler interface, to be tested, debug-printed,
and potentially, serialized.
Also, group arguments to apply(...) in OperandInfos
The primary motivation behind this is to allow all the different Assemblers
to be built at once, on a single machine. This should dramatically reduce
the time required to make sure that a particular change doesn't break
the build for one of the not-so-common architectures (arm, powerpc)
Simply pass "codegen-targets=all" to make to compile all
src/codegen/<arch>/assembler.cpp.
Note that while these architectures are built, they will not be fully-
functional. Certain stuff is assumed to be the same across the entire
build (such as TargetBytesPerWord), but this isn't the case anymore.
