This PR is mostly a complete rewrite of the emulator for 6502/65c02 opcodes.
It provides an easier to maintain implementation of the instructions, by using few macros rather than having hand-written code for each function.
All undocumented, previously missing opcodes for 6502 are also implemented.
The patch also includes a detailed documentation of those opcodes, for reference to developers.
This PR should fix one of the milestones listed here for the next version of CC65:
https://github.com/cc65/wiki/wiki/Before-the-next-release
load and run address now configured from header
fix error codes not to conflict with test
fix test/misc/endless.c which is supposed to fail if an endless loop does not occur
The name RAM doesn't make much sense in general for a memeory area because i.e. the zero page is for sure RAM but is not part of the memory area named RAM.
For disk based targets it makes sense to put the disk file more into focus and here MAIN means the main part of the file - in contrast to some header.
Only for ROM based targets the name RAM is kept as it makes sense to focus on the difference between RAM and ROM.
The way we want to use the INITBSS segment - and especially the fact that it won't have the type bss on all ROM based targets - means that the name INITBSS is misleading. After all INIT is the best name from my perspective as it serves several purposes and therefore needs a rather generic name.
Unfortunately this means that the current INIT segment needs to be renamed too. Looking for a short (ideally 4 letter) name I came up with ONCE as it contains all code (and data) accessed only once during initialization.
The targets allow to run cc65 programs in the sim65 exection
einvironment. As there are no "real" i/o facilities there's no
need for header files. Paravirtualized entry points are mapped
to $FFF0 ff. There's a large cc65 progam area from $0200-$FFEF.
The binary format includes a one-byte header indicating the required
execution environment: The value 0 means 6502 and the value 1
means 65C02. The load adress for the binary is fixed to $0200.
Note: Running sim65C02 programs currently doesn't work bcause
sim65 doesn't actually implement 65C02 opcodes.
