Sta Functions
This module contains functions to access and manipulate a stack structure.
The entries on a stack are stored in contiguous bytes of memory.
Each element of the stack can vary in size from 1 to 255 bytes. Both
arrays and strings may be pushed onto and pulled off the stack.
Usage: at the beginning of the program use the directives
#include <stddef.h02>
#include <memory.h02>
#include <stack.h02>
The following application functions are defined:
stkbgn(&b); Stack Begin: Sets the beginning of the stack
to address b.
The beginning of a stack is the first byte
of memory in the stack space.
Although stack space usually begins on a 256
byte boundary, this is not required.
Note: Sets variables stkslo and stkshi.
stkend(&e); Stack End: Sets the end of the stack to address
e. The end of a stack is the byte after the last
byte of memory in the stack space.
Although stack space usually ends on a 256
byte boundary, this is not required.
Note: Sets variables stkelo and steshi.
stkrst(); Stack Reset: Set stack pointer to stack begin
address.
This routine is called before populating a
stack with calls to the stkpsh function.
r = stkpsh(n ,&m); Stack Push: Creates a new entry at the end of
the stack consisting of n bytes of array m.
If n is 0 or the new entry would overflow the
end of the stack space, no entry is created and
a value of 0 is returned. Otherwise, the number
of bytes in the new entry is returned.
Note: Sets dstlo and dsthi to stkslo and stkhi
prior to the copy, updates stkslo and stkshi,
then calls the memcpy function.
r = stkpop(&m); Stack Pop: Copies the bytes from the last entry of
the stack into array m and removes the entry from
the stack.
If the stack is empty, the value 0 is returned.
Otherwise, the number of bytes in the popped entry
is returned.
Note: Sets dstlo and dsthi to the address of m,
updates stklo and stkhi to point to the beginning
of the last entry, sets srclo and srchi to stklo
and stkhi, then calls the memcpy function.
r,m,l = stksiz(); Stack Size: Calculates and returns the current size
of the stack along with a flag indicating whether
the stack is populated or empty.
The first byte returned will be 255 (True) if the
stack contains at least one entry, or 0 (False) if
the stack is empty. The second and third returned
bytes are the size of the stack as a sixteen bit
number, most-significant and least-significant byte,
respectively.
Note: Subtracts the sixteen bit value contained in
stkslo and stkhi from the value in stklo and stkhi.
The following utility functions are not normally used in applications:
*,m,l = stkptr(); Stack Pointer: Returns the address contained in
the stack pointer as the most significant byte
and the least significant byte.
Note: Reads variables stklo and stkhi.
stkset(&d); Stack Set: Sets stack pointer to address d.
Note: Sets variables stklo and stshi.
stkadd(b); Stack Add: Increases the stack pointer by b.
Note: Updates variables stklo and stshi.
stksub(b); Stack Subtract: Decreases the stack pointer by b.
Note: Updates variables stslo and stshi.
stkinc(b); Stack Increment: Increases the stack pointer by 1.
Note: Updates variables stklo and stshi.
stkdec(b); Stack Decrement: Secreases the stack pointer by 1.
Note: Updates variables stslo and stshi.
stkssp(); Save Stack Pointer: Copies contents of the stack
pointer to variables temp1 and temp2.
Note: Calls stkptr() then savrxy().
stkrsp(); Restore Stack Pointer: Copies contents of variables
temp1 and temp2 to the stack pointer.
Note: Calls resrxy() then stkset().
Note: This module expects the following functions to be defined
memcpl Copy memory (alternate entry point)
ressrc Restore source pointer
resrxy Restore X and Y registers
savrxy Save X and Y registers
setdst Set destination pointer
setsrc Set source pointer and initialize index
along with the zero page variable pairs
srclo, srchi Source String Pointer
dstlo, dsthi Destination String Pointer
stklo, stkhi stack Pointer
the static variables
stkslo, stkshi Stack Start Address
stkelo, stkehi Stack End Address
and the transient variables
temp0, temp1, temp2 Temporary storage
