Previously, we used the default character encoding from the project
properties to determine how strings and character constants in the
entire source file should be encoded. Now we switch between
encodings as needed. The default character encoding is no longer
relevant.
High ASCII is now an actual encoding, rather than acting like ASCII
that sometimes doesn't work. Because we can do high ASCII character
operands with "| $80", we don't output a .enc to switch from ASCII
to high ASCII unless we need to generate a string. (If we're
already in high ASCII mode, the "| $80" isn't required but won't
hurt anything.)
We now do a scan up front to see if ASCII or high ASCII is needed,
and only output the .cdefs for the encodings that are actually used.
The only gap in the matrix is high ASCII DCI strings -- the ".shift"
pseudo-op rejects text if the string doesn't start with the high
bit clear.
The PseudoOpNames class is increasingly being used in situations
where mutability is undesirable. This change makes instances
immutable, eliminating the Copy() method and adding a constructor
that takes a Dictionary. The serialization code now operates on a
Dictionary instead of the class properties, but the JSON encoding is
identical, so this doesn't invalidate app settings file data.
Added an equality test to PseudoOpNames. In LineListGen, don't
reset the line list if the names haven't actually changed.
Use a table lookup for C64 character conversions. I figure that
should be faster than multiple conditionals on a modern x64 system.
Fixed a 64tass generator issue where we tried to query project
properties in a call that might not have a project available
(specifically, getting FormatConfig values out of the generator for
use in the "quick set" buttons for Display Format).
Fixed a regression test harness issue where, if the assembler reported
success but didn't actually generate output, an exception would be
thrown that halted the tests.
Increased the width of text entry fields on the Pseudo-Op tab of app
settings. The previous 8-character limit wasn't wide enough to hold
ACME's "!pseudopc". Also, use TrimEnd() to remove trailing spaces
(leading spaces are still allowed).
In the last couple of months, Win10 started stalling for a fraction
of a second when executing assemblers. It doesn't do this every
time; mostly it happens if it has been a while since the assembler
was run. My guess is this has to do with changes to the built-in
malware scanner. Whatever the case, we now change the mouse pointer
to a wait cursor while updating the assembler version cache.
During a discussion with the cc65 developers, I became convinced that
generating "MVN $01,$02" is wrong, and "MVN #$01,#$02" is correct.
64tass, cc65, and Merlin 32 all accept this syntax; only ACME does
not. Operands without a leading '#' should be treated as 24-bit
values, and have the bank byte extracted.
This change updates the on-screen display and assembled output to
include the '#'. The ACME generator uses a Quirk to suppress the
hash mark. (It doesn't currently accept values larger than 8 bits,
so there's no ambiguity.)
The cc65 assembler runs in a single pass, which means forward
address references default to 16 bits. For zero-page references
we have to add an explicit width disambiguator. (This is an
unusual situation that only occurs if you have a zero-page .ORG
in the file after code that references it.)
With this change, 2014-label-dp passes, and no other regression
tests were affected.
(issue #40)
The 2014-label-dp test now passes. Prior regression tests are
unaffected.
Also, renamed an IGenerator interface to more accurately reflect
its role.
(issue #37)
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)
Changed the "quick config" buttons for the asm config and pseudo-op
tabs into a drop-list and "set" button. The default values for
each assembler are now defined in the Asm*.cs file, rather than in
the settings code.
