2154 iASL: Implemented support for Octal integer constants as defined by the
2162 compilation of integer constants. "Overflow" in this case means a string
2164 Any 64-bit constants within a 32-bit DSDT or SSDT are still truncated to
3153 constants.
3156 DMAR: Added new constants per the 10/2014 DMAR spec.
3158 HEST: For ACPI 6.1, added new constants and new subtable.
3159 DBG2: Added new constants per the 12/2015 DBG2 spec.
6308 constants
6654 iASL: Expand the allowable byte constants for address space IDs.
7259 objects. 1) properly handle constants like One, Ones, Zero -- do not make
10410 Added the C const qualifier for appropriate string constants -- mostly
10714 BankField. Previously, only constants were supported, now any TermArg may
12591 Moved resource descriptor string constants that are used by both the AML
13562 folding to ensure that constants are truncated to 32 bits if necessary.
13586 The interpreter now automatically truncates incoming 64-bit constants to
13591 iASL compiler no longer allows 64-bit constants within 32-bit tables.)
14840 Fixed a problem where constants in ASL expressions at the root level (not
14924 Eliminated optimization messages for "_T_x" objects and small constants
16686 Fixed some issues with constants in the 64-bit version of the
17193 Fixed a reported problem where constants such as Zero and One
17197 their minimal AML representation (i.e. AML constants if possible.)
17214 switch statements for these constants (which previously were
17217 optional target operands and stores to constants are defined to be
17439 instead of Integer/Buffer/String constants in terms that must
17440 evaluate to constants at compile time and will also simplify the
17454 constants and thus reduce the overall size of the generated AML
17465 therefore be folded at compile time if the operands are constants.
17657 constants were not reported.
18562 ToBuffer.  Support for 64-bit AML constants is implemented in the
19282 Support to convert ACPI constants (Ones, Zeros, One) to actual
19512 All manifest constants have been forced to upper case (some were
19514 (not all) of the constants,  typedefs, and structs.
