Instead of `val` right (left) shifts, we can also do `9 - val` left (right)
rotates and a mask. This saves 3 bytes and 8 cycles for `val == 7` and
1 byte and 4 cycles for `val == 6`.
If lhs and rhs are either both signed char or both unsigned char,
return flags for that type instead of (unsigned) int. The flags
are used only for codegen. Currently, this does nothing, since
codegen treats chars as ints unless CF_FORCECHAR is set, but it
allows more efficient char x char -> int codegen to be added in
the future.
Only the low bytes are compared. Originally, signed 16-bit compares were optimized into signed 8-bit compares. But, the sign bits are in the high bytes; and, they're equal. Therefore, the low bytes always must be compared as unsigned numbers.
Fixes#1348.
Certain scenarios (e.g. not running any Applesoft program at all since booting DOS 3.3) can make DOS 3.3 consider cc65 device input (e.g. getchar()) that reads a CR interpreting the command in the keyboard buffer. Setting the hibyte of the Applesoft currently executed line number to some value <> $FF (beside setting the input prompt to some value <> ']') makes DOS 3.3 understand that we're not in intermediate mode and that therefore I/O not preceded with ctrl-d mustn't be fiddled with (see DOS 3.3 routine at $A65E).
ca65's logical (Boolean) NOT operator was used where bitwise NOT should be used. The effect was that all sprites were shifted to the left side of a screen when the mouse sprite was put on the left side.
The old broken code defers the count until the end of the (parent function's) argument list. But, a nested function call clears the pointer to the deferred type. That leads to an access violation.
The new code defers only until the end of each argument. Fixes#1320.
I placed the Git tag V2.19 in hindsight at 555282497c. But I certainly don't want to rewrite the Git history just for the reported version, so I simply set the reported version at today's HEAD to 2.19.
When there is an integral constant like `3` in an expression, it has
type `int` according to the C spec, even though it can be represented
as an `unsigned char`. Change codegen (`hie_internal` and `typeadjust`)
to treat it as `unsigned char` instead of `int` so that faster,
unsigned operations can be used.
For the test case in #1298, reduces the cycles per iteration from
4311 to 1884. This is a great improvement, but still much worse than
the 1053 cycles/iter from `c4698df~`, so more work remains to be done.
Further partial fix for #1298 and #1308.
