[Gm2] latest cvs changes

[Gaius Mulley]

Hi,

below are the latest cvs changes, in essence the number of regression
test failures has fallen to 24 on the LP64 - very probably the same on
the Mac OSX (Michael are you able to confirm this?).  Also the
compiler is now _much_ more rigorous with its parameter checking.  The
24 errors can be broken down into 6 warnings - which are currently
recognised as an error by the testsuite.  The warnings occur because
the gccgm2.c is removing dead code - generated when bounds checking is
unnecessary.  The remaining 18 are two pieces of code tested 3x6 times
which create arrays of [MAX(CARDINAL)-4..MAX(CARDINAL)-1] and gccgm2.c
has a constant overflow..


                === gm2 Summary ===

# of expected passes            6348
# of unexpected failures        24


Anyway here is the changelog:

regards,
Gaius

          for parameter passing.
        * gm2/gm2-compiler/M2Range.def:  InitTypesParameterCheck

          procedure, formal, actual parameters are being checked.
        * gm2/gm2-compiler/M2Range.mod:  implement above.
        * gm2/gm2-compiler/M2Reserved.mod:  corrected parameter
          passing to AddKeyword.
