Sidney Cadot fbd8961be1 sim65: changing memory access types to uint8_t and uint16_t. 
In sim65, simulator memory access to a 64 KB array is implemented via functions
defined in src/sim65/memory.h and src/sim65/memory.c.

In the old version, the types for both content bytes (8 bits), content words
(16 bits), regular addresses (16 bits), and zero-page addresses (8 bits) were
all given as bare 'unsigned'.

This lead to several cases of address overrun (e.g., when an instruction wraps
around from address 0xffff to 0x0000) when running the simulator against a
stress test (specifically, the 65x02 test suite). To protect from this, and to
more properly express the bit width of the types involved which is a good idea
anyway, we start using the fixed-width types provided by 'stdint.h'.

In the process, we also change the MemReadByte macro to a full function call.
This may impact performance (by a small amount), but it improves memory safety,
as cases where the address is accidentally expressed as a value exceeding 0xffff
are handled by wrap-around (as it is in the actual hardware), rather than causing
access outside of the Mem[] array where the 64 KB of simulated RAM resides.

The reason for this patch is twofold.

(1) It is a partial patch for issue #2539.

Several issues brought to the surface by running the 65x02 testsuite are
eliminated by these changes. In the discussion about this issue, it was
concluded that it is a Good Idea to use the stdint-types, both for the
simulated CPU registers and for the memory. This patch addresses the
memory-part of that change.

(2) It is a precursor patch for issue #2355.

For that issue, we will implement a memory-mapped timer register. This will
make handling of memory access in the simulator a bit more complex.

Having proper functions with the proper types in place will help to make the
timer register patch easier.

The cc65 cross-compiler suite

cc65 is a complete cross-development package for 65(C)02 systems, including a powerful macro assembler, a C compiler, linker, archiver, simulator and several other tools. cc65 has C and runtime library support for many of the old 6502 machines. For details look at the cc65 web site:

People

cc65 is originally based on the "Small C" compiler by Ron Cain and enhanced by James E. Hendrix.

Project founders

  • John R. Dunning: original implementation of the C compiler and runtime library, Atari hosted.
  • Ullrich von Bassewitz:
    • moved Dunning's code to modern systems,
    • rewrote most parts of the compiler,
    • rewrote all of the runtime library.
