Two things changed: (1) string literals can now hold backslash
escapes like "\n"; (2) MVN/MVP operands can now be prefixed with '#'.
The former was a breaking change because any string with "\" must
be changed to "\\". This is now handled by the string operand
formatter.
Also, improved test harness output. Show the assembler versions at
the end, and include assembler failure messages in the collected
output.
Long operands, such as strings and bulk data, can span multiple lines.
SourceGen wraps them at 64 characters, which is fine for assembly
output but occasionally annoying on screen: if the operand column is
wide enough to show the entire value, the comment column is pushed
pretty far to the right.
This change makes the width configurable, as 32/48/64 characters,
with a pop-up in app settings.
The assemblers are all wired to 64 characters, though we could make
this configurable as well with an assembler-specific setting.
Some things have moved around a bit in app settings. The Asm Config
tab now comes last. Having it sandwiched in the middle of tabs that
altered the on-screen display didn't make much sense. The Display
Format is now explicitly for opcodes and operands, and is split into
two columns. The left column is managed by the "quick set" feature,
the right column is independent.
A delimiter definition is four strings (prefix, open, close, suffix)
that are concatenated with the character or string data to form an
operand. A delimiter set is a collection of delimiter definitions,
with separate entries for each character encoding.
This is a convenient way to configure Formatter objects, import and
export data from the app settings file, and manage the UI needed to
allow the user to customize how things look.
The full set of options didn't fit on the first app settings tab, so
there's now a separate tab just for specifying character and string
delimiters. (This might be overkill, but there are various plausible
scenarios that make use of it.)
The delimiters for on-screen display of strings can now be
configured.
The previous functions just grabbed 62 characters and slapped quotes
on the ends, but that doesn't work if we want to show strings with
embedded control characters. This change replaces the simple
formatter with the one used to generate assembly source code. This
increases the cost of refreshing the display list, so a cache will
need to be added in a future change.
Converters for C64 PETSCII and C64 Screen Code have been defined.
The results of changing the auto-scan encoding can now be viewed.
The string operand formatter was using a single delimiter, but for
the on-screen version we want open-quote and close-quote, and might
want to identify some encodings with a prefix. The formatter now
takes a class that defines the various parts. (It might be worth
replacing the delimiter patterns recently added for single-character
operands with this, so we don't have two mechanisms for very nearly
the same thing.)
While working on this change I remembered why there were two kinds
of "reverse" in the old Merlin 32 string operand generator: what you
want for assembly code is different from what you want on screen.
The ReverseMode enum has been resurrected.
This generalizes the string pseudo-operand formatter, moving it into
the Asm65 library. The assembly source generators have been updated
to use it. This makes the individual generators simpler, and by
virtue of avoiding "test runs" should make them slightly faster.
This also introduces byte-to-character converters, though we're
currently still only supporting low/high ASCII.
Regression test output is unchanged.
