//// INTERNAL GLOBALS AND CONSTANTS ////////////////////////////////////

// Single-shot flag for the STOP switch.  It's global because several of
// the functions below need to examine or modify it, since more than
// just the STOP switch handler can put us into STOP mode.
static int swStop = 0;

// Single-shot flag for the SING_INST switch.  It's global only to be
// parallel with swStop, which we modify in much the same way.
static int swSingInst = 0;


//// set_pidp8i_led ////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Sets the current state for a single LED at the given row and column
// on the PiDP-8/I PCB.  Also increments the LED on-count value for 
// that LED.
//
// You may say, "You can't just use the C postincrement operator here!
// Look at the assembly output!  You must use an atomic increment for
// this!"  And indeed, there is a big difference between the two
// methods: https://godbolt.org/g/0Qt0Ap
//
// The thing is, both structures referred to by pdis_* are fixed in RAM,
// and the two threads involved are arranged in a strict producer-and-
// consumer fashion, so it doesn't actually matter if pdis_update gets
// swapped for pdis_paint while we're halfway through an increment: we
// dereference the pointer only once here, so we'll finish our increment
// within the same structure we started with, even if pdis_update points
// at the other display structure before we leave.

//// set_pidp8i_row_leds ///////////////////////////////////////////////
// Like set_pidp8i_led, except that it takes a 12-bit state value for
// setting all LEDs on the given row.  Because we copy the pdis_update
// pointer before making changes, if the display swap happens while
// we're working, we'll simply finish updating what has become the
// paint-from display, which is what you want; you don't want the
// updates spread over both displays.

// Special case of set_pidp8i_row_leds for the DF and IF LEDs: we only
// pay attention to bits 12, 13, and 14 of the given state value,
// because SIMH's PDP-8 simulator shifts those 3 bits up there so it can
// simply OR these 3-bit registers with PC to produce a 15-bit extended
// address.
//
// We don't take a row parameter because we know which row they're on,
// but we do take a column parameter so we can generalize for IF & DF.

// for that purpose, we don't need the col parameter.
