| | | | Convert comments about magic constants into metadata.
* 7689 - permit metadata on Mu literal integersKartik Agaram2021-02-062-0/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Metadata is always ignored. It's purely for documentation purposes. But as long as Mu has no named constants it's starting to feel increasingly essential. I'm still not going to bother to add metadata to other parts of the language. Let's see if we need them. Even though it's a little warty that the rules vary throughout the stack: - bare SubX: metadata everywhere - SubX with syntax sugar: no metadata in calls or addressing-mode sigil-expressions - Mu: metadata only for literal integers

* 7684 - baremetal will have no mouseKartik Agaram2021-02-032-8/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I spent a week on trying to support it, and I am now past the five stages of grief. -- Important things I read https://web.archive.org/web/20040604041507/http://panda.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu/~achapwes/PICmicro/keyboard/atkeyboard.html https://web.archive.org/web/20040604043149/http://panda.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu/~achapwes/PICmicro/mouse/mouse.html https://wiki.osdev.org/index.php?title=Mouse_Input&oldid=23086#Waiting_to_Send_Bytes_to_Port_0x60_and_0x64 says command 0xa8 is optional SaniK: https://forum.osdev.org/viewtopic.php?t=10247 recommends command 0xa8 before setting Compaq Status byte Setting Compaq status byte before 0xa8: https://forum.osdev.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=19873 This thread also suggests that keeping reads from keyboard vs mouse straight is non-trivial. -- Where I got stuck Following SaniK's recipe doesn't seem to work. It seems like not sending the 0xa8 command gets us a little closer. I saw the mouse handler trigger, but it seems to not actually happen in response to mouse events (vector 0x74 in the interrupt descriptor table). -- Other options that may be worth considering USB mouse Serial mouse Implementing a PS/2 handler in SubX would require somehow referring to SubX labels in this file It seems clear that a mouse driver is complex enough to need a higher-level language than just hex bytes. But it's _not_ clear how to _explain_ a mouse driver. There's just a lot of random rules, historical anecdotes, just-so stories and sheer black magic here. I'm going to try to do without it all. Mu will be a keyboard-only computer for the foreseeable future.

* 7674 - beginning of mouse driverKartik Agaram2021-01-281-12/+199
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | No handler yet, just initialization. Bochs boots up; Qemu gets into a reboot loop. Unlike the keyboard where I did the minimum necessary for Qemu, here I am blindly copying something alleged to work on "real hardware." Makes no difference to the failure modes I'm seeing. Even in this tiny endeavor I see the abyss open up. Poke bytes at some sequence of ports, read back bytes from some sequence ports; it's like sending out prayers.

| | | | Yup, a single read suffices. Might not work on real hardware, but YAGNI.
* 7562 - bochs working againKartik Agaram2021-01-242-24/+28
| | | | | Holy crap, perhaps the limitations of int 13h were all a mirage. I just needed to initialize the stack.
* 7561Kartik Agaram2021-01-241-11/+35
| | | | | Another attempt at reorganizing how I read disks. Everything continues to work in Qemu, but Bochs still doesn't love me.

* 7559 - reorganize sectors built in raw hexKartik Agaram2021-01-2410-148/+273
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This was tedious for three reasons beyond the usual one of having to track and update offsets several time while I debug: - The Bochs troubles of the previous commit kept polluting my brain even though they were irrelevant. - I had to keep some changes locally to allow myself to use Bochs, which polluted my working directory. - I had to travel the long way to the realization that I'm not actually initializing the stack anywhere. BIOS was starting my stack off at 0x10000, which was promptly clobbered by my second read from disk. The good news: while I'm here I grow the interrupt descriptor table. So I don't have to go through this exercise when I get back to supporting the mouse.
* 7558Kartik Agaram2021-01-244-63/+63
| | | | | | Bochs is still broken, but before we can fix it we need to make some room in the boot sector. So we'll spend a few commits reorganizing things.
* 7557Kartik Agaram2021-01-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Oh, stupid mistake in segmented address calculation. Now Qemu's working again everywhere. Bochs is again broken everywhere. But I think we're getting closer. I think Bochs's BIOS implementation for reading sectors has two interacting constraints: - Can't write to more than 0x10000 bytes past segment register. - Can't write across segment alignment boundaries. Qemu only cares about the first.

* 7555 - snapshotKartik Agaram2021-01-241-13/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While baremetal has been working with Qemu, it's been broken with Bochs since commit 7547, where we started reading more than 63 sectors (1 track) from disk. Good to know that Bochs simulates native hardware with so much verisimilitude! Unfortunately things aren't fixed yet. The current state: - Qemu - - Bochs - ex2.hex never switches modes works ex2.subx never switches modes works ex2.mu never switches modes fails unit tests It sucks that Bochs doesn't have strictly superior verisimilitude compared to Qemu :(

| | | | | | | | Still in progress. Known bugs: * Cursor management is broken. Every line currently seems to leave behind a shadow cursor. * No shift-key support yet, which means no addition or multiplication. (This app doesn't have division yet.)

* 7542 - baremetal: support cursor on a graphemeKartik Agaram2021-01-224-18/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | So far we've drawn a space implicitly at the cursor. Now I allow drawing an arbitrary grapheme when drawing the cursor. But the caller has to specify what to draw. (The alternative would be for layer 103 to track every single grapheme on screen along with its color and any other future attributes, just to be able to paint and unpaint the background for a single character.) I've modified existing helpers for drawing multiple graphemes to always clear the final cursor position after they finish drawing. That seems reasonable for terminal-like applications. Applications that need to control the screen in a more random-access manner will need to track the grapheme at the cursor for themselves.
