/* ** Program-chaining function for Commodore platforms. ** ** 2013-09-04, Greg King ** ** This function exploits the program-chaining feature in CBM BASIC's ROM. ** ** CC65's CBM programs have a BASIC program stub. We start those programs by ** RUNning that stub; it SYSes to the Machine Language code. Normally, after ** the ML code exits, the BASIC ROM continues running the stub. But, it has ** no more statements; so, the program stops. ** ** This function puts the desired program's name and device number into a LOAD ** statement. Then, it points BASIC to that statement, so that the ROM will run ** that statement after this program quits. The ROM will load the next program, ** and will execute it (because the LOAD will be seen in a running program). */ #include #include #include #include #include #include #if defined(__CBM610__) # include #elif defined(__CBM510__) # include #endif /* The struct below is a line of BASIC code. It sits in the LOWCODE segment ** to make sure that it won't be hidden by a ROM when BASIC is re-enabled. ** The line is: ** 0 LOAD""+"" ,01 ** After this function has written into the line, it might look like this: ** 0 LOAD""+"program name" ,08 ** ** When BASIC's LOAD command asks the Kernal to load a file, it gives the ** Kernal a pointer to a file-name string. CC65's CBM programs use that ** pointer to give a copy of the program's name to main()'s argv[0] parameter. ** But, when BASIC uses a string literal that's in a program, it points ** directly to that literal -- in the models that don't use banked RAM ** (Pet/CBM, VIC-20, and 64). The literal is overwritten by the next program ** that's loaded. So, argv[0] would point to machine code. String operations ** create a new result string -- even when that operation changes nothing. The ** result is put in the string space at the top of BASIC's memory. So, the ""+ ** in this BASIC line guarantees that argv[0] will get a name from a safe place. */ #pragma data-name(push, "LOWCODE") static struct line { const char end_of_line; const struct line *const next; const unsigned line_num; const char load_token, quotes[2], add_token, quote; char name[21]; const char comma; char unit[3]; } basic = { '\0', &basic + 1, /* high byte of link must be non-zero */ 0, 0x93, "\"\"", 0xaa, '\"', "\" ", /* format: "123:1234567890123456\"" */ ',', "01" }; #pragma data-name(pop) /* These values are platform-specific. */ extern const struct line *txtptr; #pragma zpsym("txtptr") extern char basbuf[]; /* BASIC's input buffer */ extern void basbuf_len[]; #pragma zpsym("basbuf_len") int __fastcall__ exec (const char* progname, const char* cmdline) { static int fd; static unsigned char dv, n = 0; /* Exclude devices that can't load files. */ dv = getcurrentdevice (); if (dv < 8 && dv != 1 || dv > 30) { return _mappederrno (9); /* illegal device number */ } utoa (dv, basic.unit, 10); /* Don't try to run a program that can't be found. */ fd = open (progname, O_RDONLY); if (fd < 0) { return fd; } close (fd); do { if ((basic.name[n] = progname[n]) == '\0') { break; } } while (++n < 20); /* truncate long names */ basic.name[n] = '\"'; /* Build the next program's argument list. */ basbuf[0] = 0x8f; /* REM token */ basbuf[1] = '\0'; if (cmdline != NULL) { strncat (basbuf, cmdline, (size_t)basbuf_len - 2); } #if defined(__CBM510__) || defined(__CBM610__) pokewsys ((unsigned)&txtptr, (unsigned)&basic); #else txtptr = &basic; #endif /* (The return code, in ST, will be destroyed by LOAD. ** So, don't bother to set it here.) */ exit (__AX__); }
