Dave's current programs start with this:
Code:
void init() {
   asm  {
      ORG 0x100
      mov  r15, r0, _main
   };
}

Perhaps that could be implicit, and it would then jump over all the storage locations for free?

Hi Rob,

A few incompatibilities with gcc have crept back in. Here's a pull request to fix them:
https://github.com/robfinch/Cores/pull/2

I'm still getting incorrect code generation in at least one case:

14. Incorrect code generation with a * 2 - 1
Code:
int bug14() {
   int a = 123;
   int b = a * 2  - 1;
   return b;
}

Code:
_bug14:
               push    r13,r14
               push    r12,r14
               mov     r12,r14
               dec     r14,2
               mov     r5,r0,123
               sto     r5,r12,-1
               ld      r7,r12,-1
               mov     r6,r7
               add     r6,r6
               sub     r5,r6,1      # this is incorrect; should be sub r6, r0, 1; mov r5, r6
               sto     r5,r12,-2
               ld      r5,r12,-2
               mov     r1,r5
               mov     r14,r12
               pop     r12,r14
               pop     r13,r14
               mov     r15,r13

I'm still seeing core dumps; here's a minimal test case.

15. Core dump with expression a + a - 1
Code:
int bug15() {
   int a = 123;
   int b = a + a  - 1;
   return b;
}

Code:
dmb@quadhog:~/atom/opc/examples/pi-spigot-c$ ./c64 bug15.c
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

dmb@quadhog:~/atom/opc/examples/pi-spigot-c$ gdb ./c64 core

Re: bug 15

There are space characters in the file with the most significant bit set making it a negative character.
Apparently the isdigit() routine doesn't like that. I could strip the high bit off of characters as they come in. But are they part of a MBCS or wide characters and should be kept ?
Is 'C' coded coded in just stand ascii 7 bit characters or are other characters allowed ? Eg. comments.
Interestingly, the MS isdigit() routine gets called instead of the isdigit() routine coded in the program. As it is in the program it doesn't care and would've worked.
I'm guessing roughly the same isdigit() routine is used in gcc.

What to do about character over $7F ?

The compiler could spit out an "org $100" at the start of code if that would help. But how smart is the assembler ? Can it rearrange where the variables are or does it care ?
The compiler could spit out an "org $4000" at the beginning to locate the vars at $4000. But if it's org'd at $4000 can the assembler handle the code being org'd to $100 afterwards ?

eg.
org $4000
vars

org $100
code

There are no unusual characters in the file:

Can you not reproduce this? (i.e. are you suggesting it is a Linux only bug?)

I've updated to the latest compiler version that fixed bug14.

I'm getting a new issue now...

16. Incorrect store address of array write

I'm having an issue with the code generated from this fragment:
Code:
      for (i = len; i > 0; i--)
      {
         x = 10 * pi[i]+ q * i;
         pi[i] = x % (2 * i - 1);
         q = x / (2 * i - 1);
      }

Code:
018e                        pi_25:
018e  2a03                                 cmp     r3,r0

01c1  0041                                 mov     r1,r4
01c2  0062                                 mov     r2,r6
01c3  190d 0336                            jsr     r13,r0,__div
01c5  16c1 fff9                            sto     r1,r12,-7
01c7  0e13                                 dec     r3,1
01c8  100f 018e                            mov     r15,r0,pi_25

It seems like the instructions at 1ba and 1bb are the wrong way around.

Edit: manually swapping them and the program runs successfully.

Rob, yes the assembler will deal with this. You can have multiple ORG statements and they can be out of order. (Python syntax for hex is 0x1234 rather than $1234)

Hi Rob,

Another compiler issue, this time with using longs. I've reduced it to a simple test case that fails.

17. GenerateTempRegPop():register still in use
Code:
void bug17() {
   long a, b;       
   a = 1;
   b = (a*10)/3;
}

Code:
./c64 bug17.c
GenerateTempRegPop():register still in use

Re: unusual characters
I cut and paste the sample from the forum. So there may have been extra garbage added. In any case I was able to reproduce the bug with the bug15 file.

Dave, I just wanted to say I appreciate all the testing you're doing.

And we very much appreciate the efforts you are putting into an OPC6 C Compiler.

It's also been a great opportunity to use the debugger in the PiTubeDirect OPC6 Co Processor in anger. This actually makes finding issues pretty painless. It supports break points / watch points on code execution, memory reads and memory writes. You can single step, dump registers, disassemble., dump memory. etc.

Memory watch points, for example, have been invaluable in tracking stuff writing to the wrong address.

(Dave, it would be handy, I think, if you could share a couple of screenshots of the debugger in action? The forum copes poorly with very large embedded images, but if you just attach them it will make a thumbnail)

The process is as follows....

1. Run the compiler and assembler, which produces srecords

2. Switch to a serial console into the BBC Micro (9600 baud) and use the srec command to upload the srecords (just cut and paste!)

3. Switch to a second serial console into the PiTubeDirect debugger (115,200 baud), and do some debugging!

the memory watchpoint firing above is a sign the the code as corrupted itself. The offending instruction was at 0x01ba.

01bb  29e5                                 pop     r5,r14

This is the full command set of the debugger:

opc6debug4.png

In PiTubeDirect it was about a days work to add OPC6 support:
- a C emulation of the CPU (opc6.c)
- an implemention of the PiTubeDirect debug interface (opc6_debug.c), which describes the CPU to a generic debugger
- a Co Processor wrapper for the CPU (copro-opc6.c) (this is pretty much boiler plate code)

There's a fix for bugs 16,17 now. The fix caused a fair amount of change to the code generated in my test files. Generates smaller code with the fix to boot. I hope I didn't break something else with the fix. I've just been comparing output from one set of test files to the next generation and reviewing the changes. Usually it's only a couple of lines that change.
