The
utility is a compiler/decompiler for ACPI Source Language (ASL)
and ACPI Machine Language (AML).
Major features of
include:
Full support for the ACPI 3.0b Specification including ASL grammar
elements and operators.
Extensive compiler syntax and semantic error checking, especially in
the area of control methods.
This reduces the number of errors that are
not discovered until the AML code is actually interpreted (i.e., the
compile-time error checking reduces the number of run-time errors).
Multiple types of output files, including formatted listing files with
intermixed source, several types of AML files, and error messages.
