Consider:
LDA $00 loads a value from address $00
LDA $00,X might load from $00, or might not
LDA ($00),Y dereferences $00 as a 16-bit pointer
LDA ($00,X) dereferences a pointer, not necessarily from $00
When perusing the cross-reference list, it's useful to be able to
tell whether an instruction is accessing the location, using it as a
base address, or deferencing it as a pointer. We now show "ptr" in
the list for pointer dereferences. (We already showed "idx" for
indexed accesses.)
When editing local variables, the data grid generally has the input
focus, so hitting Enter doesn't close the dialog. Rather than play
games with the focus, just take Ctrl+Enter as a shortcut to close
the dialog (same as notes and long comments).
(I found myself hitting Ctrl+Enter automatically, and being annoyed
when it didn't work, so I figured I'd make it official.)
The "show cycle counts in comments" setting is the only one that
affects both the on-screen display and generated source code. This
felt a little weird, so it's now two independent settings. This
also provided an opportunity to move it to the initial tab, so it's
easier to toggle on and off. Overall it feels less confusing to have
two settings for essentially the same thing, because code generation
is distinct from everything else.
The "spaces between bytes" setting was moved to the Display Format
tab, which seems a better fit.
Documentation and tutorial have been updated.
Also did a little bit of cleanup in EditAppSettings.
- Added SOS parameter block formatting.
- Normalized SOS call names to values in SOS Reference Manual.
- Added SOS call error code constants.
- (from robjustice) Added more to A3-IO.sym65.
Also, rearranged the ProDOS code slightly.
(issue #85)
Inline BRK instructions have a problem similar to the one fixed
for JSR/JSL back in 63d7a487, but the same fix won't work because
JSR/JSL are assumed "continue", while BRK is assumed "no-continue",
and must therefore set a no-no-continue flag. For now, we just
re-evaluate the BRK on every visit to the code.
A review of the previous fix revealed an opportunity to use the
NoContinueScript flag on subsequent visits to improve consistency.
We weren't altering the status flags after a BRK because of the
assumption that a BRK was a crash. For an inline BRK, such as a SOS
call, execution continues. We need to mark NVZC indeterminate or
we may incorrectly handle conditional branches that follow.
The BRK instruction now uses the same flag updater as JSR, since it's
effectively a subroutine call to unknown code. If execution doesn't
continue across the BRK then the flags don't matter.
Updated 20182-extension-scripts to exercise this.
Added explicit widths to the 6502 vectors.
Two changes to Apple II hi-res visualization:
(1) Allow the row stride to be any value >= 1. This is useful
when data is stored in column-major order, i.e. it's a two-byte-wide
shape, with all of the data for the first column stored before the
data for the second column. (Set the row stride to 1, and the
column stride to the bitmap height.)
(2) Modify the layout of grids (sprite sheets and fonts), so that
we're closer to square when the item counts is low. Otherwise the
thumbnail just looks like a dashed line. (This one is strictly
cosmetic.)
Added a bunch of Applesoft entry points, and updated the F8ROM
definitions.
Added a visualizer for Applesoft shape table shapes that are not part
of an actual shape table.
It's fairly common to want to Find something and then jump back to
where you were. The Find command now adds the current position to
the nav stack for the initial search. If you Find Next, the nav
stack is not altered.
This experimental feature applied platform symbols to the project,
setting labels where the platform symbol's address matched an internal
address. The feature now applies project symbols as well, and has
been renamed to "apply external symbols".
We now report the number of labels set.
First, make the per-segment comments and notes optional.
Second, add an "offset segment by $0100" feature that tries to shift
each segment forward 256 bytes. Doing so avoids potential ambiguity
with direct page locations.
The 20212-reloc-data test no longer has the per-segment comments.
The "smart" PLP handler tries to recover the flags from an earlier
PHP. The non-smart version just marks all the flags as indeterminate.
This doesn't work well on the 65816 in native mode, because having
the M/X flags in an indeterminate state is rarely what you want.
Code rarely uses PLP to reset the flags to a specific state, preferring
explicit SEP/REP. The analyzer is more likely to get the correct
answer by simply leaving the flags in their prior state.
A test case has been added to 20052-branches-and-banks, which now has
"smart PLP" disabled.
Long operands, such as strings and bulk data, can span multiple lines.
SourceGen wraps them at 64 characters, which is fine for assembly
output but occasionally annoying on screen: if the operand column is
wide enough to show the entire value, the comment column is pushed
pretty far to the right.
This change makes the width configurable, as 32/48/64 characters,
with a pop-up in app settings.
The assemblers are all wired to 64 characters, though we could make
this configurable as well with an assembler-specific setting.
Some things have moved around a bit in app settings. The Asm Config
tab now comes last. Having it sandwiched in the middle of tabs that
altered the on-screen display didn't make much sense. The Display
Format is now explicitly for opcodes and operands, and is split into
two columns. The left column is managed by the "quick set" feature,
the right column is independent.
Another chapter in the never-ending AppDomain security saga.
If a computer goes to sleep while SourceGen is running with a project
open, life gets confusing when the system wakes up. The keep-alive
timer fires and a ping is sent to the remote AppDomain, successfully.
At the same time, the lease expires on the remote side, and the objects
are discarded (apparently without bothering to query the ILease object).
This failure mode is 100% repeatable.
Since we can't prevent sandbox objects from disappearing, we have to
detect and recover from the problem. Fortunately we don't keep any
necessary state on the plugin side, so we can just tear the whole
thing down and recreate it.
The various methods in ScriptManager now do a "health check" before
making calls into the plugin AppDomain. If the ping attempt fails,
the AppDomain is "rebooted" by destroying it and creating a new one,
reloading all plugins that were in there before. The plugin binaries
*should* still be in the PluginDllCache directory since the ping failure
was due to objects being discarded, not AppDomain shutdown, and Windows
doesn't let you mess with files that hold executable code.
A new "reboot security sandbox" option has been added to the DEBUG
menu to facilitate testing.
The PluginManager's Ping() method gets called more often, but not to
the extent that performance will be affected.
This change also adds a finalizer to DisasmProject, since we're relying
on it to shut down the ScriptManager, and it's relying on callers to
invoke its cleanup function. The finalizer throws an assertion if the
cleanup function doesn't get called.
(Issue #82)
Changed "Use Keep-Alive Hack" to "Disable Keep-Alive Hack" to emphasize
that it defaults to enabled. Added a menu item for "Disable Security
Sandbox". Added a warning to both that tells the user that they must
reopen the current project for the change to take effect.
Note neither of these is persisted in app settings.
When formatting a table of 16-bit addresses in 65816 code, the bank
byte was always being set to zero. However, for "JMP (addr,X)", the
program bank is used. We now default to that behavior.
The choice can be overridden as before (select 24-bit addresses with a
constant value for the bank byte).
The old values were pretty optimistic in terms of the length of labels.
Short labels in all caps are very retro but sort of annoying to read,
so most disassemblies use longer ones. The new defaults are more
accommodating for the way labels are actually used.
The new name is more indicative of the purpose of the directory.
Updated the docs to point out that you can delete the contents any
time you want, so long as SourceGen isn't running at the time.
Also, change the default column widths for the exporter.
Don't allow comments to be set in the middle of an instruction or
multi-byte data item. The subsequent partial update confuses the
line list generator.
Change order of note/long-comment/comment to match display.
Expand SGEC to include long comments and notes. These are serialized
in JavaScript form.
SGEC now accepts addresses and relative position deltas. Exported
content uses addresses, and can be configured for deltas.
This is still an "experimental" feature, but it's getting expanded
a bit. The implementation now lives in its own class. An "export"
feature that generates SGEC data has been added. The file extension
has been changed from ".sgec" to ".txt" to make it simpler to edit
under Windows.
