Correct handling of local variables. We now correctly uniquify them
with regard to non-unique labels. Because local vars can effectively
have global scope we mostly want to treat them as global, but they're
uniquified relative to other globals very late in the process, so we
can't just throw them in the symbol table and be done. Fortunately
local variables exist in a separate namespace, so we just need to
uniquify the variables relative to the post-localization symbol table.
In other words, we take the symbol table, apply the label map, and
rename any variable that clashes.
This also fixes an older problem where we weren't masking the
leading '_' on variable labels when generating 64tass output.
The code list now makes non-unique labels obvious, but you can't tell
the difference between unique global and unique local. What's more,
the default type value in Edit Label is now adjusted to Global for
unique locals that were auto-generated. To make it a bit easier to
figure out what's what, the Info panel now has a "label type" line
that reports the type.
The 2023-non-unique-labels test had some additional tests added to
exercise conflicts with local variables. The 2019-local-variables
test output changed slightly because the de-duplicated variable
naming convention was simplified.
Implemented assembly source generation of non-unique local labels.
The new 2023-non-unique-labels test exercises various edge cases
(though we're still missing local variable interaction).
The format of uniquified labels changed slightly, so the expected
output of 2012-label-localizer needed to be updated.
This changes the "no opcode mnemonics" and "mask leading underscores"
functions into integrated parts of the label localization process.
This adds the concept of label annotations. The primary driver of
the feature is the desire to note that sometimes you know what a
thing is, but sometimes you're just taking an educated guess.
Instead of writing "high_score_maybe", you can now write "high_score?",
which is more compact and consistent. The annotations are stripped
off when generating source code, making them similar to Notes.
I also created a "Generated" annotation for the labels that are
synthesized by the address table formatter, but don't modify the
label for them, because there's not much need to remind the user
that "T1234" was generated by algorithm.
This also lays some of the groundwork for non-unique labels.
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.
Implemented local variable editing. Operands that have a local
variable reference, or are eligible to have one, can now be edited
directly from the instruction operand edit dialog.
Also, updated the code list double-click handler so that, if you
double-click on the opcode of an instruction that uses a local
variable reference, the selection and view will jump to the place
where that variable was defined.
Also, tweaked the way the References window refers to references
to an address that didn't use a symbol at that address. Updated
the explanation in the manual, which was a bit confusing.
Also, fixed some odds and ends in the manual.
Also, fixed a nasty infinite recursion bug (issue #47).
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 '_'.
