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
MaxCycleCount is accounted by countdown, eliminating the 1-instruction-overhead issue, and removing the need to compare against a growing TotalCycles.
Makes main.c responsible for counting total cycles, instead of 6502.c, so the size of MaxCycleCount etc. is fully determined in one location.
Makes error.c responsible for PrintCycles instead of paravirt.c, so that it can be treated globally instead of
Return value of main() should be SIM65_ERROR because it is unreachable by design.
* The pointer wraps around the stack page.
* The break flag exists on only the stack, and only after an interrupt.
* 65C02 interrupts clear the decimal-mode flag.
The sim65 source code has been a construction site for over a decade.
I was looking for a simple cc65 program execution environment for
regression tests. So I decided to re-purpose sim65 for that task by
removing about everything but the 6502 emulation.
There's no memory mapped i/o emulation whatsoever. Rather exit(),
open(), close(), read() and write() calls are supported by mapping
them through a thin paravirtualization layer to the corresponding
host os functions.
Note: The sim65 6502 emulation provides means to switch between
6502 and 65C02 emulation but currently there are no actual 65C02
opcodes implemented.
