We used to use type="String", with the sub-type indicating whether
the string was null-terminated, prefixed with a length, or whatever.
This didn't leave much room for specifying a character encoding,
which is orthogonal to the sub-type.
What we actually want is to have the type specify the string type,
and then have the sub-type determine the character encoding. These
sub-types can also be used with the Numeric type to specify the
encoding of character operands.
This change updates the enum definitions and the various bits of
code that use them, but does not add any code for working with
non-ASCII character encodings.
The project file version number was incremented to 2, since the new
FormatDescriptor serialization is mildly incompatible with the old.
(Won't explode, but it'll post a complaint and ignore the stuff
it doesn't recognize.)
While I was at it, I finished removing DciReverse. It's still part
of the 2005-string-types regression test, which currently fails
because the generated source doesn't match.
SourceGen creates "auto" labels when it finds a reference to an
address that doesn't have a label associated with it. The label for
address $1234 would be "L1234". This change allows the project to
specify alternative label naming conventions, annotating them with
information from the cross-reference data. For example, a subroutine
entry point (i.e. the target of a JSR) would be "S_1234". (The
underscore was added to avoid confusion when an annotation letter
is the same as a hex digit.)
Also, tweaked the way the preferred clipboard line format is stored
in the settings file (was an integer, now an enumeration string).
In the cross-reference table we now indicate whether the reference
source is doing a read, write, read-modify-write, branch, subroutine
call, is just referencing the address, or is part of the data.
If you double-click on the opcode of "JSR label", the code view
selection jumps to the label. This now works for partial operands,
e.g. "LDA #<label".
Some changes to the find-label-offset code affected the cc65 "is it
a forward reference to a direct-page label" logic. The regression
test now correctly identifies an instruction that refers to itself
as not being a forward reference.
When you edit the operand of an instruction that targets an in-file
address, you're given the opportunity to specify a shortcut that
applies the symbol to the instruction's target address in addition
to or instead of defining a weak symbol reference on the instruction
being edited.
This didn't work right for operands with adjustments, e.g. the store
instructions in self-modifying code. It put the label at the
unadjusted offset, which does nothing useful.
We now correctly back up to the start of the instruction or multi-
byte data area.
Allows specification of table data in various ways, for 16-bit and
24-bit addresses. Shows a preview so you can see if the addresses
look about right. Adds permanent labels at target offsets if none
are present. Optionally sets code hints.
Works beautifully on the A2-Amper-fdraw example, but needs some
additional testing, documentation, etc. Dialog is more complicated
that I would have liked, mostly because of 65816 support, but I
think it'll do.
