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.
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.
We weren't escaping '<', '>', and '&', which caused browsers to get
very confused. Browsers seem to prefer <PRE> to <CODE> for long
blocks of text, so switch to that.
Also, added support for putting long labels on their own lines in
the HTML output.
Also, fixed some unescaped angle brackets in the manual.
Also, tweaked the edit instruction operand a bit more.
Also, removed "include symbol table" from export dialog. You can
exclude the table by removing it from the template, which right
now you'd need to do anyway to get rid of the H2 header and other
framing. To make this work correctly as an option we'd need to
parse the "div" in the template file and strip the whole section,
or split the template into multiple parts that get included as
needed. Not worth doing the work until we're sure it matters.
The documentation for 64tass says you're required to pass "--ascii"
when the source file is ASCII (as opposed to PETSCII). We were
ignoring this, but it turns out that everything works a bit better
if we don't.
So we now pass "--ascii" on the command line, and add a two-line
character encoding definition to every file that is generated with
ASCII as the default encoding. The sg_petscii and sg_screen
encodings go away, as PETSCII is now the default, and we can use the
built-in "screen" encoding.
During a discussion with the cc65 developers, I became convinced that
generating "MVN $01,$02" is wrong, and "MVN #$01,#$02" is correct.
64tass, cc65, and Merlin 32 all accept this syntax; only ACME does
not. Operands without a leading '#' should be treated as 24-bit
values, and have the bank byte extracted.
This change updates the on-screen display and assembled output to
include the '#'. The ACME generator uses a Quirk to suppress the
hash mark. (It doesn't currently accept values larger than 8 bits,
so there's no ambiguity.)
There's no easy way to make non-zero-bank 65816 code work, so I'm
punting and just generating a whole-file hex dump for those. This
renders tests 2007 and 2009 useless, so I'm hesitant to claim that
ACME support is fully functional.
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.
The 2014-label-dp test now passes. Prior regression tests are
unaffected.
Also, renamed an IGenerator interface to more accurately reflect
its role.
(issue #37)
Gave cc65 its own expression generator, as the precedence table seems
atypical if not unique. Configured 64tass to use the "simple"
expression mode.
Added some operations on a 32-bit constant to 2007-labels-and-symbols
to exercise the current worst-case expression (shift + AND + add).
Tweaked the Merlin expression generator to handle it.
(issue #16)
Correctly handle pre-existing underscores and avoidance of
"reserved" labels.
Also, add more underscores to 2012-label-localizer to exercise
the code.
(issue #16)
Most tests pass, but 2007-labels-and-symbols fails because the
expressions recognized by 64tass don't match up with either of the
other assemblers.
This is currently using a workaround for the local label syntax.
64tass uses '_' as the prefix, which is unfortunate since SourceGen
explicitly allowed underscores in labels. (So does 64tass for that
matter, but it treats labels specially when the '_' comes first.)
We will need to rename any non-local user labels that start with '_'.
