- option to automatically run the program in the Vice emulator
|

- breakpoints, that let the Vice emulator drop into the monitor if execution hits them
|
||||
- source code labels automatically loaded in Vice emulator so it can show them in disassembly
|

|

- the compiler includes a virtual machine that can execute compiled code directy on the
|
||||
host system without having to actually convert it to assembly to run on a real 6502.
|
||||
This allows for very quick experimentation and debugging
|
||||
|
||||
It is mainly targeted at the Commodore-64 machine at this time.
|
||||
Contributions to add support for other 8-bit (or other?!) machines are welcome.

Writing and building a program

First, getting a working compiler
|

---------------------------------

@ -11,20 +13,38 @@ Then you can choose a few ways to get a compiler:
|
||||
|
||||
**Download a precompiled version from github:**
|
||||
|
||||
#. download a recent "prog8compiler.jar" from `the releases on Github <https://github.com/irmen/prog8/releases>`_
|
||||
#. run the compiler with "java -jar prog8compiler.jar" to see how you can use it.
|
||||
#. download a recent "fat-jar" (called something like "prog8compiler-all.jar") from `the releases on Github <https://github.com/irmen/prog8/releases>`_
|
||||
#. run the compiler with "java -jar prog8compiler-all.jar" to see how you can use it.
|
||||
|
||||
**Using the shell scripts:**
|
||||
**using the Gradle build system to make it yourself:**
|
||||
|
||||
#. run the "create_compiler_jar.sh" shell script and have a little patience while everything is built
|
||||
#. it will output "prog8compiler.jar" file which contains everything.
|
||||
#. run the compiler with "java -jar prog8compiler.jar" to see how you can use it.
|
||||
The Gradle build system is used to build the compiler.
|
||||
The most interesting gradle commands to run are probably:
|
||||
|
||||
**using the Gradle build system directly:**
|
||||
``./gradlew check``
|
||||
Builds the compiler code and runs all available checks and unit-tests.
|
||||
``./gradlew installDist``
|
||||
Builds the compiler and installs it with scripts to run it, in the directory
|
||||
``./compiler/build/install/p8compile``
|
||||
``./gradlew installShadowDist``
|
||||
Creates a 'fat-jar' that contains the compiler and all dependencies, in a single
|
||||
executable .jar file, and includes few start scripts to run it.
|
||||
The output can be found in ``.compiler/build/install/compiler-shadow/``
|
||||
``./gradlew shadowDistZip``
|
||||
Creates a zipfile with the above in it, for easy distribution.
|
||||
This file can be found in ``./compiler/build/distributions/``
|
||||
|
||||
#. run the command "./gradlew installDist" and have a little patience while everything is built
|
||||
#. it will create the commands and required libraries in the "./compiler/build/install/p8compile/" directory
|
||||
#. run the compiler with the "./compiler/build/install/p8compile/bin/p8compile" command to see how you can use it.
|
||||
For normal use, the ``installDist`` target should suffice and ater succesful completion
|
||||
of that build task, you can start the compiler with:
|
||||
|
||||
``./compiler/build/install/p8compile/bin/p8compile <options> <sourcefile>``
|
||||
|
||||
(You should probably make an alias...)
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
Development and testing is done on Linux, but the compiler should run on most
|
||||
operating systems. If you do have trouble building or running
|
||||
the compiler on another operating system, please let me know!

Virtual Machine
|

---------------
|
||||
|

You may have noticed the ``-avm`` and ``-vm`` command line options for the compiler:
|
||||
|
||||
-avm
|
||||
Launches the "AST virtual machine" that directly executes the parsed program.
|
||||
No compilation steps will be performed.
|
||||
Allows for very fast testing and debugging before actually compiling programs
|
||||
to machine code.
|
||||
It simulates a bare minimum of features from the target platform, so most stuff
|
||||
that calls ROM routines or writes into hardware registers won't work. But basic
|
||||
system routines are emulated.
|
||||
|
||||
-vm <vm bytecode file>
|
||||
Launches the "intermediate code VM"
|
||||
it interprets the intermediate code that the compiler can write when using the ``-writevm``
|
||||
option. This is the code that will be fed to the assembly code generator,
|
||||
so you'll skip that last step.
