| | | | | | | | Start requiring a '-o' flag to designate the output binary when translating. Things currently get funky if you pass in multiple inputs, but that's ok. This is the first step to supporting multiple input files for a single output binary.

| | | | | When I started SubX I imagined that being able to write machine code directly was a feature. Now it's just a hole I haven't bothered closing yet.

* 4616 - fix subx/examples/ex7Kartik Agaram2018-09-295-12/+51
| | | | | | | | | It was broken since I added support for global variables, back on Sep 1. One other subtle thing I've improved is the name `looks_like_hex_int`. We can now distinguish in the pack-operands transform between ignoring 'foo' because it doesn't look like a number, and immediately flagging '0xfoo' as an error because it *should* be a number.

* 4614 - redo simulated RAMKartik Agaram2018-09-299-54/+101
| | | | | | | | | | | Now simulated 'Memory' isn't just a single flat array. Instead it knows about segments and VMAs. The code segment will always be first, and the data/heap segment will always be second. The brk() syscall knows about the data segment. One nice side-effect is that I no longer need to mess with Memory initialization regardless of where I place my segments.

| | | | | | | More calling convention tweaks. Use EBP to get consistently at parameters and locals. Always put the first function argument closest to EBP.
* 4515Kartik K. Agaram2018-09-241-1/+9
| | | | | New '--dump' commandline arg to incrementally print trace lines to stderr as they're emitted.
* 4514Kartik Agaram2018-09-242-3/+11
| | | | Get the calling convention right, per http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~evans/cs216/guides/x86.html

| | | | | Add the test harness to the crenshaw compiler. Though we aren't calling it yet. But that's because we aren't actually doing anything useful yet.
* 4509Kartik Agaram2018-09-231-19/+4
| | | | Back to the Crenshaw compiler. Start by using string literals.
* 4508Kartik Agaram2018-09-232-20/+184
| | | | Upgrade the test harness for the factorial "app" from ex11.
* 4507Kartik Agaram2018-09-232-0/+304
| | | | | | | | New helper: compare a null-terminated string (from argv) with a length-prefixed string (anywhere else). As long as ex11 continues to pass we can copy the function and its tests to other programs.
* 4506Kartik Agaram2018-09-232-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | check_ints_equal now prints a newline after the failure message on failure. We still don't know how to print a final newline after all the tests have run, for the common case when all tests pass. Ideally I could just emit a few instructions to `run_tests`. But I'd also need to add a variable for the newline to the data segment. Or I need some literal syntax for newlines in strings. We don't have support for backslash-escapes yet.
* 4505Kartik Agaram2018-09-233-8/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | Extract a helper from the factorial unit test: check_ints_equal. Start of a vocabulary for unit tests. I *could* also start thinking of supporting multi-file programs, but I'm going to resist the temptation for now. Copy helpers as necessary, and allow them to mutate and diverge for a while before we pummel them into a Procrustean "standard library". Extracting a body of shared code immediately starts to discourage innovation in the shared code.

| | | | Include LEA (load effective address) in the SubX subset of x86 ISA.
* 4502 - support string literals directly in codeKartik Agaram2018-09-224-45/+243
| | | | | | | | | | Doesn't de-duplicate in the data segment, though. If you use the literal "foo" a hundred times in your code segment you're gonna spend a hundred times the space you need to. We can now simplify our test harness a bit in the factorial app, but we still have to put in commandline args to compare with manually. We only support length-prefixed strings, not null-terminated ones.

* 4586 - factorial checks commandline to run testsKartik Agaram2018-09-212-15/+85
| | | | | No automated tests for argv_equal because we need it to run automated tests. But maybe we should have them anyway.

* 4584 - discrepancy between SubX and native x86Kartik Agaram2018-09-213-8/+88
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One of the more painful things I had to debug with machine code. Tricks I used can be seen in ex10.subx: - printing argv[1] in various places - printing a single 'X' in various places to count how many times we get to different instructions - exiting with the current value of EAX in various places I repeatedly went down the wrong trail in several ways: - forgetting that the problem lay in native runs, and accidentally switching to subx runs during debugging. - forgetting to pass commandline args, because ex10 doesn't check its argv - writing the wrong comment for an instruction, and then miscalculating the set of registers that need to be saved. - forgetting that syscalls clobber EAX. Debugging native runs is hard, because you have to write non-trivial code to instrument the binary, and instrumentation can itself be buggy. When we finally tracked it down, I recognized the problem immediately. I'd meant to confirm the behavior of opcode 8a against bare metal, and then forgot. In any case, opcode 8a was inconsistent with 88. Sloppy.
