This was a relatively lightweight change to confirm the usefulness
of relocation data. The results were very positive.
The relatively superficial integration of the data into the data
analysis process causes some problems, e.g. the cross-reference table
entries show an offset because the code analyzer's computed operand
offset doesn't match the value of the label. The feature should be
considered experimental
The feature can be enabled or disabled with a project property. The
results were sufficiently useful and non-annoying to make the setting
enabled by default.
Various changes:
- Generally treat visualization sets like long comments and notes
when it comes to defining data region boundaries. (We were doing
this for selections; now we're also doing it for format-as-word
and in the data analyzer when scanning for strings/fill.)
- Clear the visualization cache when the address map is altered.
This is necessary for visualizers that dereference addresses.
- Read the Apple II screen image from a series of addresses rather
than a series of offsets. This allows it to work when the image
is contiguous in memory but split into chunks in the file.
- Put 1 pixel of padding around the images in the main code list,
so they don't blend into the background.
- Remember the last visualizer used, so we can re-use it the next
time the user selects "new".
- Move min-size hack from Loaded to ContentRendered, as it apparently
spoils CenterOwner placement.
Updated documentation for non-unique label changes. Added a new
section to tutorial #1.
Updated examples to use non-unique labels and variable tables.
Tweaked the EditLabel radio button names.
This adds the concept of label annotations. The primary driver of
the feature is the desire to note that sometimes you know what a
thing is, but sometimes you're just taking an educated guess.
Instead of writing "high_score_maybe", you can now write "high_score?",
which is more compact and consistent. The annotations are stripped
off when generating source code, making them similar to Notes.
I also created a "Generated" annotation for the labels that are
synthesized by the address table formatter, but don't modify the
label for them, because there's not much need to remind the user
that "T1234" was generated by algorithm.
This also lays some of the groundwork for non-unique labels.
Copied the extension script tutorial files out of the Scripts
directory and into the Tutorial directory. This makes more sense,
and makes it possible to expand the script sample without altering
the tutorial.
Reverted the Scripts sample to be an actual sample, rather than a
tutorial.
Renumbered the last two tutorials and added them to the ToC. This
gives them actual numbers rather than treating them as add-ons to
the advanced tutorial.
Moved the source files for the tutorial binaries into a subdirectory
to reduce clutter.
This does mean we have two separate copies of the inline string
sample plugins, but that's an artifact of our attempts at security.
This adds a window that displays all of the instructions for a
given CPU in a summary grid. Undocumented instructions are
included, but shown in grey italics.
Also, tweaked AppSettings to not mark itself as dirty if a "set"
operation doesn't actually change anything.
Implemented show/hide mechanic, using a button on the right side of
the status bar to show status and to trigger un-hide.
Also, show I/O direction in project symbols editor list.
Change + save + undo + change was being treated as non-dirty.
Added link to "export" feature to documentation TOC.
Added keyboard shortcut for high part in data operand editor.
Corrected various things in the tutorial.
Updated the manual, and changed tutorial #2 to use local variables
for pointers.
If the symbol text box isn't empty, use the string as the initial
value for the Label when creating a new project property.
Fixed a crash when editing a project property.
Implemented local variable editing. Operands that have a local
variable reference, or are eligible to have one, can now be edited
directly from the instruction operand edit dialog.
Also, updated the code list double-click handler so that, if you
double-click on the opcode of an instruction that uses a local
variable reference, the selection and view will jump to the place
where that variable was defined.
Also, tweaked the way the References window refers to references
to an address that didn't use a symbol at that address. Updated
the explanation in the manual, which was a bit confusing.
Also, fixed some odds and ends in the manual.
Also, fixed a nasty infinite recursion bug (issue #47).
In the data operand edit section, walk through selecting a single
byte vs. multiple bytes when you want to set a multi-byte format.
(inspired by issue #41)
Most tests pass, but 2007-labels-and-symbols fails because the
expressions recognized by 64tass don't match up with either of the
other assemblers.
This is currently using a workaround for the local label syntax.
64tass uses '_' as the prefix, which is unfortunate since SourceGen
explicitly allowed underscores in labels. (So does 64tass for that
matter, but it treats labels specially when the '_' comes first.)
We will need to rename any non-local user labels that start with '_'.
(issue #16)
Once upon a time, symbol files and extension scripts could only be
defined in the RuntimeData directory, so having the documentation
there made sense. Since both of these things can now be defined in
project directories, the documentation belongs in the manual.
(issue #27)
The instruction operand editor and data operand editor are very
different, but there's no need to impose that distinction on the
user. They want to edit the operand either way. We now provide a
single "edit operand" menu item, and open the appropriate dialog
based on what they have selected.
This uses Ctrl+O as the keyboard shortcut, stealing it from
File > Open.
(issue #11)
Two changes:
(1) Code and data hints are now only applied to the first byte on
each selected line. This allows you to slap a code hint on a
string without lighting up the whole string. Inline-data hints
and hint removal work as before.
(2) Added a menu item (with Ctrl+D as shortcut) to toggle the state
of the uncategorized data analyzer. This makes it easy to turn
off the feature that put the code into a string in the first
place.
Don't enable OK unless at least one address is valid.
Don't apply code hints unless asked.
Rename a couple of things for clarity.
Add documentation to manual.
(issue #10)
