The 'all' target deliberately doesn't build the doc nor the samples. But that doesn't mean that the Makefiles in the 'doc' and 'samples' directories must default to the (empty) 'all' target.
For quite some time I deliberately didn't add cursor support to the Apple II CONIO imöplementation. I consider it inappropriate to increase the size of cgetc() unduly for a rather seldom used feature.
There's no hardware cursor on the Apple II so displaying a cursor during keyboard input means reading the character stored at the cursor location, writing the cursor character, reading the keyboard and finally writing back the character read initially.
The naive approach is to reuse the part of cputc() that determines the memory location of the character at the cursor position in order to read the character stored there. However that means to add at least one additional JSR / RTS pair to cputc() adding 4 bytes and 12 cycles :-( Apart from that this approach means still a "too" large cgetc().
The approach implemented instead is to include all functionality required by cgetc() into cputc() - which is to read the current character before writing a new one. This may seem surprising at first glance but an LDA(),Y / TAX sequence adds only 3 bytes and 7 cycles so it cheaper than the JSR / RTS pair and allows to brings down the code increase in cgetc() down to a reasonable value.
However so far the internal cputc() code in question saved the X register. Now it uses the X register to return the old character present before writing the new character for cgetc(). This requires some rather small adjustments in other functions using that internal cputc() code.
If cc65 is installed and used as designed there's no need whatsoever for CC65_HOME (both on *IX and Windows) from the perspective of the cc65 binaries. If the user however has to access files from the 'target' directory thenhe ends up with some assumption on the cc65 installation path nevertheless :-(
In order to avoid this I added the --print-target-path option. It "exports" the logic used by the cc65 binaries to locate their files to the user thus allowing him to leverage the same logic to locate the target files in his build scripts / Makefiles.
- use this function instead of directly looking at _dos_type in the included
targetutil and test programs
- fixes/improvements to the Atari runtime library regarding the recently
changed _dos_type values
- libsrc/atari/targetutil/w2cas.c: exit if no filename was entered
- add documentation for the new function
