SixtyPical Compilation
======================

This is a test suite, written in [Falderal][] format, for compiling
SixtyPical to 6502 machine code.

[Falderal]:     http://catseye.tc/node/Falderal

    -> Functionality "Compile SixtyPical program" is implemented by
    -> shell command "bin/sixtypical --output-format=c64-basic-prg --traceback %(test-body-file) --output /tmp/foo && tests/appliances/bin/dcc6502-adapter </tmp/foo"

### Trash

Trash does nothing except indicate that we do not care about the value anymore.

    | define main routine
    |   inputs a
    |   outputs x
    |   trashes a, z, n
    | {

### static ###

Memory locations defined static to a routine are allocated
just the same as initialized global storage locations are.

    |   outputs x
