All notable changes to afs-as are documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

Unreleased

0.1.0 - 2026-04-06

Initial release. The standalone surface, library API, and differential test suite are documented in README.md.

Added

  • ARM64 instruction encoding for the supported standalone surface, including data processing, loads/stores, branches, FP/SIMD, atomics, system, and CFI.
  • Two-pass assembler with label resolution, expression classification, and Mach-O relocation emission (PAGE21, PAGEOFF12, BRANCH26, GOT_LOAD_*, TLVP_LOAD_*, SUBTRACTOR, UNSIGNED, ADDEND).
  • Mach-O 64 object writer: header, segment, sections, symbol table, dynamic symbol table, build version, and linker optimization hints.
  • Standalone CLI (afs-as) with --help, --version, -o, -, --, and documented exit codes.
  • Library API: assemble_source, assemble_stmts, assemble_instructions. assemble_instructions is a trusted fast path used by the ARMFORTAS compiler and panics on invalid Inst values by design.
  • Diagnostics with file, line, column, source snippet, and caret.
  • Layered test infrastructure: instruction-level differential against Apple as, full-object corpus parity, round-trip stability, structured fuzzing, garbage panic-resistance fuzzing, structured malformed-mutation rejection, end-to-end link/run, CLI smoke, diagnostic snapshots, performance sanity, and a clang probe dashboard covering ~94 C patterns at -O0 and -O2.

17 - ARM64 instruction encoding for the supported standalone surface, including
18 data processing, loads/stores, branches, FP/SIMD, atomics, system, and CFI.
19 - Two-pass assembler with label resolution, expression classification, and
20 Mach-O relocation emission (`PAGE21`, `PAGEOFF12`, `BRANCH26`, `GOT_LOAD_*`,
21 `TLVP_LOAD_*`, `SUBTRACTOR`, `UNSIGNED`, `ADDEND`).
22 - Mach-O 64 object writer: header, segment, sections, symbol table, dynamic
23 symbol table, build version, and linker optimization hints.
24 - Standalone CLI (`afs-as`) with `--help`, `--version`, `-o`, `-`, `--`, and
25 documented exit codes.
26 - Library API: `assemble_source`, `assemble_stmts`, `assemble_instructions`.
27 `assemble_instructions` is a trusted fast path used by the ARMFORTAS
28 compiler and panics on invalid `Inst` values by design.
29 - Diagnostics with file, line, column, source snippet, and caret.
30 - Layered test infrastructure: instruction-level differential against Apple
31 `as`, full-object corpus parity, round-trip stability, structured fuzzing,
32 garbage panic-resistance fuzzing, structured malformed-mutation rejection,
33 end-to-end link/run, CLI smoke, diagnostic snapshots, performance sanity,
34 and a clang probe dashboard covering ~94 C patterns at `-O0` and `-O2`.
