The code that searches for character strings in uncategorized data
now recognizes the C64 encodings when selected in the project
properties.
The new code avoids some redundant comparisons when runs of
printable characters are found. I suspect the new implementation
loses on overall performance because we're now calling through
delegates instead of testing characters directly, but I haven't
tested for that.
It's not quite the same as the character encoding -- sometimes we
want a mix of things -- so it gets its own enum. The value is
saved to the project file, but not actually used yet.
Also, moved some combo box strings into XAML resources.
The previous code output a character in single-quotes if it was
standard ASCII, double-quotes if high ASCII, or hex if it was neither
of those. If a flag was set, high ASCII would also be output as
hex.
The new system takes the character value and an encoding identifier.
The identifier selects the character converter and delimiter
pattern, and puts the two together to generate the operand.
While doing this I realized that I could trivially support high
ASCII character arguments in all assemblers by setting the delimiter
pattern to "'#' | $80".
In FormatDescriptor, I had previously renamed the "Ascii" sub-type
"LowAscii" so it wouldn't be confused, but I dislike filling the
project file with "LowAscii" when "Ascii" is more accurate and less
confusing. So I switched it back, and we now check the project
file version number when deciding what to do with an ASCII item.
The CharEncoding tests/converters were also renamed.
Moved the default delimiter patterns to the string table.
Widened the delimiter pattern input fields slightly. Added a read-
only TextBox with assorted non-typewriter quotes and things so
people have something to copy text from.
This generalizes the string pseudo-operand formatter, moving it into
the Asm65 library. The assembly source generators have been updated
to use it. This makes the individual generators simpler, and by
virtue of avoiding "test runs" should make them slightly faster.
This also introduces byte-to-character converters, though we're
currently still only supporting low/high ASCII.
Regression test output is unchanged.
