Test case:
1. create a label FOO
(can be referenced or unreferenced)
2. add a platform symbol file that also defines FOO
(the platform symbol will be masked by the user label)
3. rename FOO to BAR
(platform symbol should appear)
4. hit "undo"
(platform symbol should disappear)
5. delete label FOO
(platform symbol should appear)
6. hit "undo"
(platform symbol should disappear)
This will fail to update the display list properly, and/or crash
when we try to add FOO to a symbol table that already has a
symbol with that label.
The problem is the optimization that tries to avoid running the
data analysis pass if we're just renaming a user label. We need to
check to see if the rename overlaps with project/platform symbols,
because we need to update the active def symbol set in that case.
To avoid the crash, we just need to use table[key]=value syntax
instead of table.Add(key,value).
Most of SourceGen uses standard WPF controls, which get their default
style from the system theme. The main disassembly list uses a
custom style, and always looks like the Windows default theme.
Some people greatly prefer white text on a black background, so we
now provide a way to get that. This also requires muting the colors
used for Notes, since those were chosen to contrast with black text.
This does not affect anything other than the ListView used for
code, because everything else can be set through the Windows
"personalization" interface. We might want to change the way the
Notes window looks though, to avoid having glowing bookmarks on
the side.
The last two tabs in the Edit App Settings dialog have "quick set"
buttons configure all fields for a particular assembler, or reset
them to default values. The previous UI was a little annoying,
because you had to pick something from the combo box and then hit
"set" to push the change. It was also confusing, because if you
came back later the combo box was just set to the first entry, not
the thing you picked last.
Now, picking an entry from the combo box immediately updates all
fields. The combo box selection is set to reflect the actual
contents (so if you set everything just right, the combo box will
change to a specific assembler). If nothing matches, a special
entry labeled "Custom" is selected.
Also, rearranged the tutorial sections in the manual so the
address table formatting comes last, and appears in the local TOC.
If you link to the file without escaping the '#', the browser will
think it's an anchor inside the page. Easier on everyone to just
alter the filename.
Changed the sort order on EQU lines so that constants come before
address definitions. This caused trivial changes to three of the
regression tests.
Added the ability to jump directly to an EQU line when an opcode
is double-clicked on.
If you select a local variable, double-click on a reference entry,
and then hit "back", you aren't taken back to the correct place in
the local variable table. This is annoying if you're trying to
explore how a local variable is used.
The NavStack Location object now has a "line delta" that can be
applied to position the selection correctly. This isn't stable
across undo/redo, but it solves the common cases.
This makes LineListGen's "Top" class redundant, so uses of that have
been replaced with Location.
The Find box now has forward/backward radio buttons. Find Next
searches forward, and Find Previous searches backward, regardless
of the direction of the initial search.
The standard key sequence for "find previous" is Shift+F3. The WPF
ListView has some weird logic that does something like: if you hit
a key, and the selection changes, and the shift key was held down,
then you must have meant to select a range. So Shift+F3 often (but
not always) selects a range. I think this might be fixable if I can
figure out how ListView keeps track of the current keyboard
navigation position (which is not the same as the selection). For
now I'm working around the problem by using Ctrl+F3 to search.
Yay WPF.
Early data sheets listed BRK as one byte, but RTI after a BRK skips
the following byte, effectively making BRK a 2-byte instruction.
Sometimes, such as when diassembling Apple /// SOS code, it's handy
to treat it that way explicitly.
This change makes two-byte BRKs optional, controlled by a checkbox
in the project settings. In the system definitions it defaults to
true for Apple ///, false for all others.
ACME doesn't allow BRK to have an arg, and cc65 only allows it for
65816 code (?), so it's emitted as a hex blob for those assemblers.
Anyone wishing to target those assemblers should stick to 1-byte mode.
Extension scripts have to switch between formatting one byte of
inline data and formatting an instruction with a one-byte operand.
A helper function has been added to the plugin Util class.
To get some regression test coverage, 2022-extension-scripts has
been configured to use two-byte BRK.
Also, added/corrected some SOS constants.
See also issue #44.
The "add platform symbol file" and "add extension script" buttons
create a file dialog with the initial directory set to the
RuntimeData directory inside the SourceGen installation directory.
This is great if you're trying to add a file from the platform
definitions, but annoying if you're trying to add it from the
project directory.
It's really convenient to not have to hunt around though, so now
there are two buttons: one for platform, one for project. The
latter is disabled if the project is new and hasn't been saved yet.
We were changing the control template for lines with long comments
and notes, matching the default Win10 style. This got ugly when a
non-default theme was being used, particularly "dark" themes,
because the long-comment lines looked significantly different from
everything else.
We now fully specify the style for the ListView and ListViewItems,
which means everybody's main window now looks like the default Win10
style. Which is unfortunate, but significantly easier than creating
a full set of theme-specific styles.
We now specify black text for highlighted address/label fields,
because they otherwise become illegible when we apply our background
highlight color. In the Notes window, we set the background of
un-highlighted entries to white, so that we can always read it with
black text.
Addresses issue #50.
Also, updated LZ4FH sample, which needed to have explicit widths on
a couple of zero-page pointers.
Also, updated Zippy sample, which had a ton of unnecessary format
entries for a couple of pointers.
If it's a known function, apply basic numeric formatting to the
various fields. Primarily of value for the pathname and buffer
parameters, which are formatted as addresses.
Also, enable horizontal scrolling in the generic show-text dialog.
Also exercise various formatting options.
Also, fix a bug where the code that applies project/platform symbols
to numeric references was ignoring inline data items.
The current AddressMap is now passed into the plugin manager, which
wraps it in an AddressTranslate object and passes that to the
plugins at Prepare() time. This allows plugins to convert addresses
to offsets, making it possible to format complex structures.
This breaks existing plugins.
If we have a bug, or somebody edits the project file manually, we
can end up with a very wrong string, such as a null-terminated
string that isn't, or a DCI string that has a mix of high and low
ASCII from start to finish. We now check all incoming strings for
validity, and discard any that fail the test. The verification
code is shared with the extension script inline data formatter.
Also, added a comment to an F8-ROM symbol I stumbled over.
Extension scripts (a/k/a "plugins") can now apply any data format
supported by FormatDescriptor to inline data. In particular, it can
now handle variable-length inline strings. The code analyzer
verifies the string structure (e.g. null-terminated strings have
exactly one null byte, at the very end).
Added PluginException to carry an exception back to the plugin code,
for occasions when they're doing something so wrong that we just
want to smack them.
Added test 2022-extension-scripts to exercise the feature.
We were providing platform symbols to plugins through the PlatSym
list, which allowed them to find constants and well-known addresses.
We now pass all project symbols and user labels in as well. The
name "PlatSym" is no longer accurate, so the class has been renamed.
Also, added a bunch of things to the problem list viewer, and
added some more info to the Info panel.
Also, added a minor test to 2011-hinting that does not affect the
output (which is the point).
Handle situation where a symbol wraps around a bank. Updated
2021-external-symbols for that, and to test the behavior when file
data and an external symbol overlap.
The bank-wrap test turned up a bug in Merlin 32. A workaround has
been added.
Updated documentation to explain widths.
Implement multi-byte project/platform symbols by filling out a table
of addresses. Each symbol is "painted" into the table, replacing
an existing entry if the new entry has higher priority. This allows
us to handle overlapping entries, giving boosted priority to platform
symbols that are defined in .sym65 files loaded later.
The bounds on project/platform symbols are now rigidly defined. If
the "nearby" feature is enabled, references to SYM-1 will be picked
up, but we won't go hunting for SYM+1 unless the symbol is at least
two bytes wide.
The cost of adding a symbol to the symbol table is about the same,
but we don't have a quick way to remove a symbol.
Previously, if two platform symbols had the same value, the symbol
with the alphabetically lowest label would win. Now, the symbol
defined in the most-recently-loaded file wins. (If you define two
symbols with the same value in the same file, it's still resolved
alphabetically.) This allows the user to pick the winner by
arranging the load order of the platform symbol files.
Platform symbols now keep a reference to the file ident of the
symbol file that defined them, so we can show the symbols's source
in the Info panel.
These changes altered the behavior of test 2008-address-changes,
which includes some tests on external addresses that are close to
labeled internal addresses. The previous behavior essentially
treated user labels as being 3 bytes wide and extending outside the
file bounds, which was mildly convenient on occasion but felt a
little skanky. (We could do with a way to define external symbols
relative to internal symbols, for things like the source address of
code that gets relocated.)
Also, re-enabled some unit tests.
Also, added a bit of identifying stuff to CrashLog.txt.
If you open the Actions menu when nothing is selected, the "can I
create a local variable table here" method crashes with a bad index
reference.
Issue #48.

Added a Width column to the list in the project symbol editor.
Changed the local variable table editor and the project symbol editor
to use DataGrid instead of ListView. This gets us easy sorting on
arbitrary columns. The previous code was reloading the display list
after every change; now we just add/edit/remove individual items,
which helps keep the list position and selection stable.
The ability to give explicit widths to local variables worked out
pretty well, so we're going to try adding the same thing to project
and platform symbols.
The first step is to allow widths to be specified in platform files,
and set with the project symbol editor. The DefSymbol editor is
also used for local variables, so a bit of dancing is required.
For platform/project symbols the width is optional, and is totally
ignored for constants. (For variables, constants are used for the
StackRel args, so the width is meaningful and required.)
We also now show the symbol's type (address or constant) and width
in the listing. This gets really distracting when overused, so we
only show it when the width is explicitly set. The default width
is 1, which most things will be, so users can make an aesthetic
choice there. (The place where widths make very little sense is when
the symbol represents a code entry point, rather than a data item.)
The maximum width of a local variable is now 256, but it's not
allowed to overlap with other variables or run of the end of the
direct page. The maximum width of a platform/project symbol is
65536, with bank-wrap behavior TBD.
The local variable table editor now refers to stack-relative
constants as such, rather than simply "constant", to make it clear
that it's not just defining an 8-bit constant.
Widths have been added to a handful of Apple II platform defs.
Change + save + undo + change was being treated as non-dirty.
Added link to "export" feature to documentation TOC.
Added keyboard shortcut for high part in data operand editor.
Corrected various things in the tutorial.
Added a blank line after local variable tables. Otherwise they
just sort of blend in with the stuff around them.
Put prefixes before the DOS 3.3 platform symbols.
Added a BAS_HBASH entry. We were getting BAS_HBASL and MON_GBASH
paired up, which looks weird.
Apply a very light tint to the preview section of the Edit Long
Comment dialog, to hint that the window is read-only.
Having underlined blue text everywhere was too noisy. This changes
the CSS style for internal links to be plain black text that gets
blue and underliney when you hover the mouse over it.
Also, added the current date and time to the set of template
substitutions.
HTML output should have had double quotes around internal anchors.
(Chrome and Edge didn't complain, but the w3c validator wasn't
happy.)
Made the text areas in the load-time problem report dialogs
scrollable.
Updated the manual.
The analyzer sometimes runs into things that don't seem right, like
hidden labels or references to non-existent symbols, but has no way
to report them. This adds a problem viewer.
I'm not quite ready to turn this into a real feature, so for now it's
a free-floating window accessed from the debug menu.
Also, updated some documentation.
In a recent survey, three out of four cross assemblers surveyed
recommended not using opcode mnemonics to their patients who use
labels. We now remap labels like "AND" and "jmp", using the label
map that's part of the label localizer.
We skip the step for Merlin 32, which is perfectly happy to assemble
"JMP JMP JMP".
Also, fixed a bug in MaskLeadingUnderscores that could hang the
source generator thread.
Most assemblers end local label scope when a global label is
encountered. cc65 takes this one step further by ending local label
scope when constants or variables are defined. So, if we have a
variable table with a nonzero number of entries, we want to create
a fake global label at that point to end the scope.
Merlin 32 won't let you write " LDA #',' ". For some reason the
comma causes an error. IGenerator now has a "tweak operand format"
interface that lets us fix that.
Split "edit local variable table" into "create" and "edit prior".
The motivation is to allow the user to make changes to the most
recently defined table without having to go search for it. Having
table creation be an explicit action, rather than something that
just happens if you edit a table that isn't there, feels reasonable.
Show table offset in LV table edit dialog, so if you really want
to go find it there's a (clumsy) way to do so.
Increased the maximum width of a variable from 4 to 8. (This is
entirely arbitrary.)
