| 10:20 | Cherrypicked contents of checkin [8ef9b5fae0] accidentally made against trunk to the tip of branch smallc-85. This restores extern.h. Superseded by branch smc85-cc8. Closed-Leaf check-in: b2c0174786 user: poetnerd tags: smallc-85 | |
| 10:11 | Healed double-tipped smallc-85 branch: the first had no useful content, so the branch containing all the actual work basically merges into the stub. check-in: 6d2b6dec56 user: tangent tags: smallc-85 | |
|
2018-12-29
| ||
| 05:37 | Snapshot: Fix for globals: We needed to quit allocating storage for functions. Debugging fetch of globals. They seem swapped with locals somehow. check-in: 50ae87a7e9 user: poetnerd tags: smallc-85 | |
|
2018-12-28
| ||
| 05:15 | Looks like it's working! Deltas: GBLS and GLOBAL POOL output values are different, and I think that's because they used to be wrong. TODO: get n8.c and p8.c to compile on the Pi without errors for testing purposes! check-in: bd0ffae19c user: poetnerd tags: smallc-85 | |
| 01:43 | Take the version of cross/os8 I should have started with. Fix the problem with multiplying pointers by two when INTSIZE actually is 1. check-in: 220c52acab user: poetnerd tags: smallc-85 | |
| 00:03 | Roll back noise from libc.c. Add in SmallC-85 unlicense. check-in: 56c3cac87a user: poetnerd tags: smallc-85 | |

2018-12-24

| 16:55 | Snapshot: More stuff is working. TODO: get the numeric values to work correctly. Further fix to global symbol table output. Add the license file now canon upstream in SmallC-85. LATER: Merge the updates from trunk that predate the cc8-64-bit branch. (I should havve ported trunk, not the branch, but oh well...) check-in: a27c7fa2a1 user: poetnerd tags: smallc-85 | |
| 06:18 | Snapshot of refresh of cc8 cross compiler with smallc-85. This saves a copy of my work which merges enough of the old pdp8 targeting and the new cc8 platform to get through a build of src/cc8/os8/libc.c. The output code isn't quite correct yet, but it gets all the way through with mostly cosmetic errors, instead of crashing with illegal access or seg fault. check-in: 058d944b24 user: poetnerd tags: smallc-85 | |

| 04:39 | The top-level Makefile now disables the test-mkos8 target when tools/test-mkos8 can't run due to missing prereqs. check-in: 79a16d5ab5 user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 15:55 | Added lz4 prereq to the test-mkos8 autosetup tests check-in: c46ae7cc93 user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 15:33 | Added an autosetup test for perl-in-path and whether that Perl can compile tools/test-mkos8. If so, we report success, and if not, we tell the user how to fix it with our new cpanfile. check-in: cc6666ce27 user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 08:59 | test-mkos8 is now working with os8-run to successfully create the v3d.rk05 image for comparison checking. Open Questions: 1. Is further refinement needed for the log sanitizizing? 2: Is comparing the binary of the disk image the best test? check-in: 5e4633e246 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 02:06 | Found the problem with running ../../configure in test-mkos8: Needed to add back the line to auto.defs that creates the lib subdir that hosts the options file: if {![file exists "lib/pidp8i"]} { file mkdir "lib/pidp8i" } check-in: 408edf8633 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 00:21 | Snapshot: Trying to get test-mkos8 working. ../../../configure from the test/tmp/<pid> directory blows out with: Error: couldn't open "lib/pidp8i/os8opts.py": no such file or directory check-in: d2986ecfba user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 19:24 | I misunderstood how to do mediainstall, and what I had was not installing all of what we made. Fixed now. check-in: d6f48ac376 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 01:00 | Fixes to uniquify resources that might be used in parallel make. Also cosmetics: changed "scratch" name to have "-temp-" in it to make it easier to find and delete if make blows out. Since I was touching the use of the system disk in all-tu56.os8, I cleaned out some dead code and updated as comment. check-in: b2a6c5d89e user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 03:22 | all-tu56.os8 was copying in DTCOPY.SV and DTFRMT.SV insgtead of TDCOPY.SV and TDFRMT.SV when building for td8e. check-in: 32377aac5c user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:19 | scratch option os8-run mount command now creates a unique temp file. Now parallel makes will not step on each other. check-in: 2f3f1ca884 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 01:25 | Fixed bug in all-tu56.os8: The old code to clean up the system rk05 that was commented out was lacking an "end enabled never", and so it caused the rest of the file to be ignored. This messed up all td12k creations. check-in: 8e309b3872 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 01:23 | Added more debugging output. Line count stack was wrongly managed because Python pop semantics are the opposite of what I thought. So I was removing the first in, not the last in item from there. check-in: 85804b2ac3 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
|
2018-10-29
| ||
| 03:30 | Moved v3f-build.rk05 to the obj directory. Along the way taught os8-cp to do path expansion on names in dirs.py just like os8-run does. This enabled a simplificaiton and cleanup of Makefile.in because the actions file in .../src/os8/v3f/actions.txt simply says that the destination lives in $obj. Also needed to update dirs.py.in to know about obj, as it knows about bin. check-in: bb42538cf0 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 01:13 | Corrected dependencies in light of clearer understanding. mmake now seems to work for me with no redundant builds. check-in: db3b20634b user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 00:40 | Merged in v3f-parallel-make-fix. It behaves the same for me as previous versions, but no sense in forking. check-in: f3b2941356 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 00:01 | DAMN! Forgot to add the new init file. Sorry! check-in: 78191ab4cd user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
|
2018-10-28
| ||
| 08:24 | Added (and in one case, reordered) some dependencies in the new os8-run based media build system so that all callers to os8-run from the Makefile now declare which media they require to exist before the script will run. Without this change, parallel makes are likely to fail because make is given the freedom to run targets before the things they're dependent upon exist. This is a branch rather than on the os8-v3f-extensions branch directly because I can't test it here against the tip of that branch due to a missing file. Also, it should be checked by Bill Cattey before being merged into that branch. Closed-Leaf check-in: 5a84eb18d9 user: tangent tags: v3f-parallel-make-fix | |
|
2018-10-27
| ||
| 04:27 | Added init.cf and init.tx to the 4 bootable tu56 images. I *think* I understood how to do the dependencies right for the v3finit.tx.in creation. check-in: b17efa3579 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
|
2018-10-21
| ||
| 21:04 | Found another typoed dependency that should have pointed at v3d.rk05, but instead pointed at nothing. check-in: c01b3a17db user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 20:32 | Here's why it's always good to do the occasional fossil clean -n: I see I FORGOT to add the LCSYS.BI and UCSYS.BI files to the tree. Can't do the builds I've got running without them. check-in: 30b1f33839 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 20:21 | Enables all the lowercase option for v3d and v3f tapes and in the 3.script and run-v3f.script scripts. TODO: Enable lowercase for BASIC in v3f. That script isn't qualified, and there's a backlog of patches and validation on BASIC that are needed. check-in: db857bdac1 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 19:58 | Get BATCH working under v3f. This was HARD! Had to chase down source, and the diddling of one magic constant that SHOULD NOT BE as volatile as it was. check-in: aad0aa239c user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:49 | Put FORTRAN II and BASIC on the 4 bootable tu56 images unless overridden by "--disable fortran-ii" and/or "--disable basic" check-in: d5d8b023f9 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
|
2018-10-20

| 18:54 | Additional debugging output, and a correction to the build_subcomm state machine during the BUILD command run within BUILD.SV. There was some duplicate code, and I think I may have spazzed and never properly exited the BUILD command state machine. check-in: 497f79dad6 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 18:00 | Add missing dependency on the v3d.rk05 boot image to the making of v3f. check-in: b17e1072b9 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 17:47 | Further refinement of make run-v3f: Sets dependency independently of what was specified as the default IF=3 OS/8 version. check-in: 464fcf21de user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:49 | The new run-v3f target was depending on one of the two possible TU56 tape images that could be in boot/3.script after configure runs, meaning the dependencies were correct for only one of the two possible cases. This target is now dependent on the same autosetup variable used to create 3.script from 3.script.in, so we're sure to build the correct tape image before starting the simulator. check-in: 8b39a5cb89 user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:01 | Correct dependency: We need to depend on $(OS8_BOOT_DISK) because that is what we will be running, not the renamed bin disk that had no patches. check-in: b247b928cf user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 09:55 | Merged in trunk fixes check-in: ad9d51ebae user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 09:52 | The pidp8i-test program now debounces the switches in scan-switch mode. Without this change, if the contacts bounce rapidly enough for the scanning loop to detect, a builder could be lead to believe their properly-working PiDP-8/I has a problem. check-in: 9dfb8bdafd user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 09:49 | Made the size of the global switchstatus array explicit, so we can do sizeof sanity checks on it in programs. check-in: e9ec92de08 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 09:48 | The recent addition of NetBSD support to tools/corecount accidentally included a change to the shebang line necessary for NetBSD but incorrect for Linux, which this project primarily targets. Changed it back to /bin/bash, lest we take a new dependency on ksh everywhere. check-in: 8065f647a8 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 08:39 | Whitespace fix check-in: 2607fa1a71 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

2018-10-17

| 15:34 | Removed media/os8/os8.tu56 and the references to it now that 3.script uses the new os8-run-built tape images. check-in: d34787b405 user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 15:25 | Merged a few of the differences between the new boot/run-v3f.script.in file and the preexisting run/3.script.in file into the latter. check-in: 47c6ab8349 user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 15:11 | Added "run-v3f" Makefile target, its "runf" alias, and the boot/run-v3f.script.in file those targets use. check-in: 06aef989e3 user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 00:18 | The copy in of the v3f source files to the buld rk05 image was too quiet for too long. I enabled -v on the os8cp call for better status reporting. check-in: 39d8b6137a user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 00:07 | Remove superfluous dependency: v3d tapes don't care about v3f stuff. check-in: dadf27bae9 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
|
2018-10-15
| ||
| 23:56 | Add dependencies on the sources in .../src/os8/v3f. Now if we touch one we will rebuild the V3F bits and pieces. check-in: ab959da8be user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 23:55 | Fix 30 year old bug: Build V7A should report its PROPER version. check-in: f691c6840c user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

2018-10-13

| 22:56 | Two new config options that control what kind of .tu56 image gets booted with the IF=3 option: --boot-tape-config={tc08 | td12k} with default of tc08 --boot-tape-version={v3d | v3f} with default of v3d. check-in: 4ed46aa217 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

2018-10-04

| 06:06 | Something I should have done long ago: If we're going to re-configure sys, then we should use a scratch copy. all-tu56.os8 now does that for the td12k builds. It doesn't need to do that for the tc08 builds so it doesn't bother. Also changed the filename of the scratch to use "-copy" in the name instead of "_copy" aligning with filename conventions. check-in: f67db97d71 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 05:40 | Fixed some noise. simh.py was printing stuff by default. Added a verbose internal variable to the simh object and updated os8-run and os8-cp.in to set that variable to True when they get the verbose option. check-in: fe46cf1a76 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 05:23 | FIXED problem where make kept re-making v3d-src.rk05: Misuse of os8-run mount command's option "preserve". The NEW version got a new name with a version number and the old version was kept. Make kept finding the original version. The CORRECT option to use is "new" not "preserve". check-in: 48bf62dd63 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 04:41 | all-tu56.os8 now copies in appropriate DECtape utilities: TD8E configs get: TDCOPY.SV, TDFRMT.SV TC08 configs get: DTCOPY.SV, DTFRMT.SV check-in: 4ee3a65c2a user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 04:30 | Enabled builds of all 4 tu56 images: v3d-tc08.tu56, v3d-td12k.tu56, v3f-tc08.tu56, v3f-td12k.tu56. Amended all-tu56.os8 and v3d-dist-rk05.os8 to put the following td8e drivers into the SYS:BUILD.SV image: TD8ESY.BN (12k system handler), ROMMSY.BN (rom system handler), TD8EA.BN. Left out were the B, C, and D TD8E non-system handlers. (I was paranoid about space.) Extensive comments in the scripts throughout on the various tradeoffs and dependencies. check-in: 0e4030caec user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 04:13 | That's what I get for assuming instead of testing. :-( This one PROPERLY specifies the copyin for ABSLDR.SV and is tested. check-in: 16dc21707a user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:40 | v3f BUILD installs ABSLDR, but v3d config does not. Need to copy it in. check-in: 221d5d7ff0 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

2018-10-02
| ||
| 05:46 | Snapshot: Mostly working "all-tu56.os8" script that builds v3d or v3f on tc08 or td12k or tdrom system. TODO: More testing. Make the V3D rk05 BUILD.SV already contain the TD8E drivers. Decide on an INIT file. check-in: 857984d41b user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 04:33 | Bug fixes to basic_line_parse. I'm using a LOT of conditionals now, and apparently there were several bugs that I missed: 1. basic_line parse was not using the stripped version of line. 2. The options stack pop was taking the the wrong member of the stack so it was a first in last out, instead of the intended first in first out stack. 3. The test for comments was on the pre-stripped line so that comments could not be indented with whitespace. check-in: bfccd73f14 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
|
2018-09-30
| ||
| 23:15 | Added version and directory expansions into the print command. Includes print-test.os8 to test them. check-in: f14e1e8973 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 20:33 | The \s test for whitespace in tools/corecount wasn't working on NetBSD 6 for some reason, so changed it to the POSIX [[:space:]] character class. This should be effective on many more systems. check-in: b5e424045e user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 03:35 | Got the build of os8-v3f for TD8E DECtape working again. Root cause: I still don't understand the BUILD command loop well enough, and I wrote it! I added a couple more special cases so now everything, including the TD8E build works. Clearer code will come when the pexpect loop is turned right way round. Couple things: Building the v3f tu56 images for BOTH TC08 and TD8E are now enabled by default. WARNING: If the TD8E build blows out it leaves the v3d.rk05 system pack with td8e devices enabled instead of tc08. The new script, v3d-reset-tc08.os8 fixes this. QUESTION: Do we make this situation more bullet proof by: Creating a copy of v3d.rk05 when we build for TD8E? or Building Unconditional cleanup code into os8-run for on-error, do such and such to clean up? Actually, I could probably modify the v3d-dist-rk05.os8 script to put both the TD8EA and TC08 drivers in the image of BUILD.SV, if there is room. Maybe I'll just do that. check-in: b24aa7b9d7 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 01:30 | Add dependency on patches. Note that this depends on ALL .patch8 file regardless of whether or not we actually use them. A finer grained dependency could be done in the future. check-in: b9ceacad42 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 01:28 | Add two more files to make clean action: lib/pidp8i/dirs.py lib/pidp8i/ips.py check-in: 8a974ca3b9 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 01:24 | Further cleanup of Makefile.in: Further purging of "mkos8" methods and concepts: 1. MKOS8_OPTS->OS8_OPTS 2. Where mkos8 became os8-run rename files, directories, scripts and dependencies appropriately. 3. Eliminate 'mkos8' install dir and ctags. 4. Scripts named MKOS8_* now have names more related to their current function under os8-run, and may have been further changed to reflect our v3d/v3f naming and simplification. 5. make clean eliminated the mkos8 directory. 6. make targets for use by test-mkos8 updated with new names, but really needs to be redone now that patching is unconditional. check-in: d6f23aaeda user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 01:04 | Testing revealed: missing line in auto.def, and I forgot to tell Fossil that I'd shifted os8-cp to os8-cp.in. THIS should work. check-in: aef6b627f0 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 23:48 | Having gotten bit by os8-cp having a hard-coded default boot disk, I decided to use auto.def and parameterize it on @OS8_BOOT_DISK@ check-in: de864ed5b5 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 21:06 | Make patching unconditional. Amend apperopriate documents to no longer talk about a --disable-os8-patches option. Make the text file that names the patches conform to current filename conventions. check-in: a2454ca487 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 20:41 | Adopted new filename conventions: .mkos8 -> .os8 underscores to dashes test scripts end in -test instead of beginning with it Shortened names. Fixed up dependencies, including broken one on newly renamed v3f-*.tu56. check-in: 55e34d0b34 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 18:02 | I had not done rigorous enough testing. Here is better test case, corrected code, and elimination of the old fancier test code. check-in: aa9df2a6e8 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 17:33 | Simplified version test. Warren justified "just test for version X or above" by showing allowing richer matches just made it easy for people to leaving incompatibilities in place. Changed name of the tester script to replace underscore with dash, say "version" first, and most importantly to adopt a new convertion: ".mkos8" scripts become ".os8". check-in: 1fcde938d6 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 01:58 | Change os8-run mount option "preserve" to delimit the version number with a dash instead of an underscore. check-in: 4f3c5b4d6e user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 01:32 | checkin cd80254374 was incomplete: auto.def created lib/mkos8 to host generated python files that are now kept in lib/pidp8, so we delete that line. Makefile.in still had the old MKOS8 python file list so 'make install' was doing the wrong thing. TODO Review MKOS8_INFILES and decide if more files, such as os8script.py should be there. check-in: 14a799a875 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 21:13 | Version detection code implemented. test_version.mkos8 updated. It seems to work for the cases I could think of. check-in: 43311b0e87 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 20:11 | Added a print command. This, together with exit will be useful when version actions are enabled. check-in: ba11dee8b4 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 19:56 | Add "exit" command that interfaces to python sys.exit() procedure. Enables immediate script termination and optional signaling of status, and also optional print of a string. check-in: 17fb06b45f user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 19:54 | Test script as we work through implementing version conditionals. check-in: aec3815e47 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 12:54 | Reduced the "Applying patch..." output to a single line to reduce verbosity in normal builds. check-in: 220dc69120 user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 02:15 | I had habituated a misunderstanding of python regular expression syntax. Consequently I kept using '?' when I needed to use '*'. Particularly in allowing whitespace. This change corrects those regular expressions. check-in: cde469f6f9 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 01:58 | Silenced verbosity by default (again). When I went to the simpler parser, I forgot that I'd enabled VERBOSE by default. This should quiet things down. check-in: 7c305890df user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 19:55 | Merged trunk changes in, in preparation for merging this branch down to trunk. check-in: 834dd5121b user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 19:19 | Renamed $mkos8_opts and obj/mkos8.opts in auto.def to $os8_opts and obj/os8.opts, respectively. check-in: cd80254374 user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 19:11 | Moved the mkos8.opts Python module to pidp8i/os8opts. That left the mkos8 namespace empty, so I removed that. Also removed the old_parse_args() function in os8-run while in there: dead code. check-in: 91c681d0dd user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
|
2018-07-23
| ||
| 03:34 | Remove the bespoke --enable-<foo> and --disable-<foo> arguments. Use the generic --enable and --disable arguments. Note that the usage message still informs about all known enable/disable args created in lib/mkos8/opts.py by auto.defs. However the usage message is clearer now and the arg parsing is simpler now. Note we delete the use of the fancy python argparse library. Nice as it was, we don't need it. The clearer usage message is also in the os8-run.md doc. check-in: 0f1c58479b user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:14 | Bug fix: Enable/Disable args for fortran should have dash, not underscore in their names to work properly. check-in: e24681d721 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:12 | Bug fix: If we build with config option --os8-minimal, we won't build the os8v3d-patched.rk05 image. We only build os8-v3f from that image. --os8-minimal therefore should not attempt to build os8-v3f. check-in: e14bed0e60 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 02:59 | Bug-fix: When we use config option --os8-minimal the system image os8v3d-patched.rk05 does not exist. Creating the source packs does not require a patched system anyway, so we use os8v3d-bin.rk05. check-in: afabf0c0e7 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 02:57 | Bug fix: rename of os8_pip_into to os8_pip_to wasn't propagated to this program that used the routine. check-in: 623cab985e user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
|
2018-07-22

| 22:22 | Improve pal8 command: 1. Allow whitespace between arguments. 2. Fix a bug that caused the (apparently untested) 3 arg form not to work at all. 3. Clarify in the documentation the rationale for the command, and warn of its possible removal. TODO: Possibly expand the command to pass in arguments. check-in: c67efce19c user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 20:34 | Forgot to update the TODO to remove the order to implement restart. It's now implemented. check-in: 1a7abaa401 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 20:16 | Added restart command and test_restart.mkos8 to test it. Note that test_restart.mkos8 assumes existence of test_copy.tu56 that is made by test_copy.mkos8, and system_v3f_tc08.tu56 made by os8-v3f-tape.mkos8. check-in: a86f9935a6 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 19:31 | Removal of multi-word commands from os8-run #6: convert copy_to and copy_from to cpto and cpfrom respectively. This completes the project to eliminate multi-word commands from os8-run. check-in: 547a96be48 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 19:06 | Added more clarification around case sensitivity throughout. (Also pruned a note about multi-word mount options that is no longer relevant.) check-in: d4c9e2f654 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
|
2018-07-21
| ||
| 04:16 | Improved documentation of mount/umount: 1. Explain the rationale for using the POSIX commands. 2. Clarify how the "new" and "preserve" options behave DIFFERENTLY with regards to file preservation. 3. Add an example of use of the "new" option. 4. Update the mount examples to use the $foo path expansions. check-in: f30b93a62d user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:19 | Minor cleanups: 1. The more correct term for how we build is "from distribution media" rather than "source media" because we don't build from source, and because "distribution media" is the correct term used for our baseline truth. 2. Cleaned up broken formatting in the pal8 section's bulleted list, and in the begin/end keyword table. 3. Added a comma in the boot section cuz it called out for one. :-) check-in: 6f606611aa user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:15 | Renamed copy_into and pip_into to copy_to and pip_to respectively. This is because I decided that copy "to/from" made more intuitive sense than copy "into/from". check-in: 08108fae33 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 04:07 | Fix formatting mistake check-in: 75954717a3 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 04:05 | Removal of multi-word commands from os8-run #5: "read-only" becomes either "ro" or "readonly". check-in: 41ec8eeaef user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:55 | Removal of multi-word commands from os8-run #4: "must-exist" becomes "required." Lots of scripts touched but it was worth it, I think. check-in: fb4201a2c5 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:42 | Removal of multi-word commands from os8-run #3: "copy_scratch" becomes "scratch". The meaning is probably clear enough without "copy". check-in: 6a2f3bb5fc user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:28 | Removal of multi-word commands from os8-run #2: "not-disabled" becomes "default". Not only does this make the parser cleaner and simpler, the description of what is being done becomes simpler. This is a GOOD change. check-in: 762a5798db user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:03 | Eliminating multi-word hyphenated commands from os8-run #1: "no-overwrite" becomes "preserve". check-in: ac83408912 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 18:55 | Tiny cleanup: Changed variable "MKOS8" to "OS8RUN". Removed mkos8 program because it has been subsumed by os8-run. Further cleanups of the simh.py and os8script.py libraries will not be backwards compatible with the use made by mkos8. check-in: 61529b46b6 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 22:55 | Taught Makefile.in how to 'make bin/system_v3f_tc08.tu56' Although the v3f stuff is built by default, this tape is not. TODO: 1. Test 'make system_v3f_td12k.tu5' 2. Create auto.defs options for this. check-in: 1858920a4a user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 22:05 | Added code to Makefile.in to create the os8 v3f build rk05 image. TODO: Figure out how to make the image in an object directory instead of the src directory. Problem is with os8-cp and the manifest file actions.txt assuming current working directory. check-in: 0e628cd6fc user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 20:58 | Two short test scripts for testing the copy and patch commands. Note that they have not been converted to the new script location and use of directory expansion. Nevertheless they might be useful to someone. check-in: b118d2fbe5 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 20:49 | Clean up mess made on first attempt to move scripts to new home. Includes a bug fix to Makefile.in where I missed a backslash, and a bug fix to simh.py which would blow out if your branch has upper case characters in it. check-in: 303cb7f12b user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

Confirm this all works for someone else. 4. CLEANUPS. check-in: c610c24d5d user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 01:47 | The done command was a mistake and now is gone. I realized it was a mistake when, we executed it in an included script, the scratch files were removed. Rather than creating a per-script scratch list, I moved the final cleanup to the main os8-run code and deleted the done command. check-in: 8b66b4f06b user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 00:36 | In cutting over to using os8-run I realized I needed a mount option that lets the script create a new empty image file and saves a pre-existing version. The "new" option to mount is now implemented. check-in: 26c846c5ce user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 02:31 | Teach call_pal8 to detect failure of PAL-8 to start. TODO: Re-do ALL the calls to os8_send_cmd to shift from looking for a command prompt before beginning a command and then maybe testing the command result (which is currently implemented with os8_send_cmd (prompt_string, command) ) to: Running a command and then testing the result. Yes, this means that pretty much the entirety of the command execution and result testing has been implemented in the wrong order. check-in: 6ce374d437 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 05:01 | Added path expansion to copy_into and copy_from. Fixed two related bugs: 1. path expand needed to use os.path.join to deal with how dirs.py ends some dirs with a slash, and some not. 2. copy_into and copy_from needed to check to see if the system was booted. (I'd forgotten this requirement, didn't boot the dectape, and could not understand why things were failing.)

| 22:51 | Further exploration of what it means to resume OS/8. Comments in simh.py explain the problem: We need to provoke a prompt to re-synchronize with python expect after resuming the stuff that was running under SIMH. There is now a resume command that does the minimum, but it's not as minimal as I would like: It sends ^C, which forces a return to the keyboard monitor if you happen to use it in the following situation: Start an OS/8 program. Escape to SIMH Resume. The ^C will kill the OS/8 program and send you back to the keyboard monitor. This is less disruptive than go 7600, but still not ideal. Just sending newline, or multiple newlines, or erase character or kill line to the OS/8 keyboard monitor after issuing the continue command in SIMH does not work to give you a command prompt. The next revision, I think will touch many routines to do the following: Create a sense of when to abort the whole script. Allow the script runner to keep track of OS/8 context and either blow out when you try to issue an OS/8 command before having booted an image, or to resume OS/8 for you when you use simh commands. check-in: b1e7201347 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 22:33 | Refine two different options parsing strategies: In current strategy, be clearer on the effect of --enable and --disable args. In an alternate strategy, --enable-foo and --disable-foo become two word arguments. This can be done without changing the actions of auto.def, but DOES require changes to how configure would parse command line arguments. check-in: 1dc45457c5 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 22:32 | Several minor improvements to HACKERS.md check-in: 3c19d18b26 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 03:58 | Fixed argument parsing in mkos8 that I broke when I was experimenting with and evolving the ideas of how to pass in new options. Now instead of -o --option, mkos8 responds to --enable and --disable To set open ended enablement and disablement options that are not defined elsewhere. check-in: 025010d6f3 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 00:01 | os8-run now does patching and with os8v3d-patch.mkos8 reproduces full functionality of mkos8 patch. Additional command, "copy" added to take the os8v3d-bin.rk05 image and copy it into a new file os8-v3d-patched.rk05. The latter file is then mounted and patched, just like mkos8 does it. check-in: 3f562abc9c user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 04:35 | New option to mount, "copy_scratch" that creates a writeable scratch copy of what is to be mounted, which gets deleted when done.

| 03:55 | The script runner now has the "Set INIT message" functionality: 1. We don't create INIT.CM with the editor. Instead we copy it in just as we do with INIT.TX. 2. os8script.py now has script interfaces to the simh.py routines: copy_into -> os8_pip_into copy_from -> os8_pip_from 3. os8v3d-bin.mkos8 is updated. Booting the resulting rk05 image DOES run the INIT.CM script properly. TODO: 1. Figure out an interface in the script runner for the functionality of: "create a bootable dectape copy from the read-only distribution tape." 2. Implement the believed-to-be-straightforward exercise of enabling patches. 3. Figure out an interface/convention for the root of relative paths when the script runner runs. (dirs.os8mi equivalent) 4. Come to closure on the design for package management/options. check-in: cd285d1672 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:39 | Bugfix: os8_pip_from was parsing the os8 name with "index" when it needed to be "find". (Index returns a value error, and find returns -1 if substring not found. I'd transposed them.) check-in: 0ebe98bd1c user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:08 | Bug fix: We never before tested calling os8_pip_from and os8_pip_into with a null option argument. The code didn't actually work because we were treating option later as a string. Now if the arg is not present, or None we set it to the empty string. check-in: 8bbca41e87 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 20:58 | Checkin [b3e6e42a77] caused the simulator to crash on exit on non-Pi platforms since no PiDP-8/I panel is present, causing the graceful shutdown to fail. This is harmless most of the time, since the simulator is dying anyway, but it was causing pexpect to choke during the mkos8 process when run on non-Pi platforms. check-in: 4891e80bbc user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 21:32 | The simulator now turns off all front panel LEDs before exiting so that a "pidp8i stop" or "Ctrl-E, q" doesn't leave the last CPU state burning brightly on the front panel. Closes [700328105]. check-in: b3e6e42a77 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 21:15 | Changed the signaling and timing of "pidp8i stop" to be more reliable about quickly stopping, so we don't need to escalate to a kill -9. The escalation still exists in case the simulator is recalcitrant, but an upcoming change will require a graceful shutdown. check-in: 084fafb781 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 10:32 | Backed out Ian Schofield's attempt to fix the MB display, [5597b069b2]. Going on the principle of charity here, I assume that change isn't entirely wrong, but it has the side effect of breaking MB display while in "stopped" state, where people are expecting to see the result of EXAM switch presses here, a documented behavior of the PDP-8/I. See p.93 in the 1967 edition of the Small Computer Handbook and page RIM-3 (PDF page 35) in the PDP-8 System User's Guide from 1969. These two bracket the introduction of the PDP-8/I. check-in: 1fcd751a5f user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 06:04 | Recast the script command set to more closely align with how options were set in mkos8: Instead of "option" we have "enabled" and "not-disabled". Instead of "configure option" we have "enable". Instead of "unset_option" we have "disable". The command line "-o" and "--option" are now "--enable" and "--disable". os8-run makes a stab at using lib/mkos8/opt.py.

| 05:00 | SNAPSHOT: Beginnings of a script to build os8v3d-bin.rk05 Discovered that more work is needed in os8script.py to handle the dialog with the BUILD BOOT command: "WRITE ZERO DIRECT."

| 04:03 | Apparently I never actually tested unset_option. Now It's working. tc08.mkos8 sets tc08 by default and unsets it if you specify td12k or tdrom on the command line. check-in: 02b01c97eb user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 04:36 | tc08.mkos8 now understand td8e as a common option to td12k and tdrom. Since we don't have a ROM config, we can't test tdrom, but the build of td12k with the common td8e stuff works. Still TODO: Further re-arrangement of mkos8 functionality. check-in: 50d5c66e31 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 03:50 | Successful run of mkos8 head -o tc08 and mkos8 head -o td12k with the code for OS/8 scripting pulled out of mkos8 and put into lib/os8script.py Also a style pass was run on the names of things. Additional os8script methods have been added: configure_command which is an interface to the simh change commands and which allows on-the-fly setting of options. unset_option_command that allows unsetting of an option. I want the configure command so I can get rid of the "simh" command. I don't want to allow full scripting of simh. But I might be wrong here. I want to ability to set options inside scripts because the tdrom config is a variation on td12k, and I can set a common sub-option for the common bits now. TODO: test mkos8 system with the new library. TODO: Change the "change_" interface because we are repeating the describe code. We should "set" options rather than "change from x to y". The change interface requires fetching status twice, first to figure out what to do, and second, when calling the do_routines, to recheck inputs.

| 03:14 | Added some comments to bin/teco-pi-demo explaining why we cannot make better use of class simh's new context switching abilities. check-in: f56e9b2e7d user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:13 | Added a few more SIMH context switching cases in class simh check-in: 952d7b233e user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:11 | Cleaner interface to show command: Do the split into a line array centrally. Make the show tape parsing orthogonal to rx and tti. check-in: 4b84f2a2ac user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 02:35 | If you call simh.os8_send_ctrl('e'), the object now marks itself as "in SIMH context". This supports legacy uses of the class where transitions had to be done manually. check-in: c507e7ba49 user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 02:30 | In two places, class simh was sending the same command to SIMH then calling parse_show_tti() on the result. Moved the command call into that function and renamed it get_tti(). check-in: fb6100a681 user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 02:11 | Comment and whitespace improvements to lib/simh.py check-in: 712ce17691 user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 01:40 | Simplified the check for SIMH commands that transition from SIMH context back to simulation context: it was listing all of the possibilities exhaustively, except only in lowercase. Neither is required: we can list only the first letter in uppercase, then slice the first letter off of the command and uppercase it before searching this list. This is both faster and more reliable. Also moved the related constants from per-instance to per-class. check-in: b54ebf922c user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

Then fill in the stubs for RX and console device work. check-in: d2167af791 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 04:27 | Cleaned up external use of simh_context. The housekeeping boiled down to three locations: 1. Initialize to simh. 2. back_to_cmd sets simh. 3. The clever part: in send_cmd, look to see if the command being executed enters the OS, and if so set context "os8". TODO: RE-test os8-cp and all legacy mkos8 commands to make sure I didn't break anything. Then remove the context commands. The rule now is: Returning to simh leaves you in the simh context until you issue a boot, continue, or go command. check-in: 7b0047d2cc user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 05:22 | Ok, this is a bit gross. tc08.mkos8 now understands the td12k option, but it was a pain to get there. I had to create a simh command because we needed to disable dt and enable td. This also runs BUILD on os8v3d-patched.rk05 to switch from TC08 to TD8E drivers. It is very gross, but it does clean up after itself. (If it makes it all the way through.) This exploration has let me to believe that we might very well want to craft this as python code to, "Switch SIMH from DT to TD" and "Switch SIMH from RX01 to RX02". It is a mess of abstraction barrier violations to try and do it cleanly. So what we have now is a proof of concept. An icky one. check-in: 966fb1026b user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 06:30 | Taught mkos8 a new run command: Options. Now, before the mkos8 command arg, you can have options, for example "tc08". In the script file you enclose options in begin option foo end foo If the command line argument specifies -o foo, the lines are used. If not, they are ignored. Optional blocks can appear in commands with their own command processors, and can be nested. In this way a single command file can be used with variations on the same theme depending on which option is enabled. check-in: 10848363e5 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 22:41 | The test intended to skip re-installation of all the SIMH binary media and the SIMH boot scripts on a system where that has already been installed was checking for the existence of os8.rk05, which will only exist on a system that had 2017.04.04 or earlier installed on it. A system that was fresh-installed from 2017.12.22 wouldn't have this file, so the *next* installation (say, to check out the trunk version) was overwriting local media and script files. This is not going to affect people who used only release versions unless they manually did "make install" again for some strange reason. The more likely way this hits is for someone who first installed 2017.12.22 and then later checked out an unreleased version and installed it over the top of their release version. check-in: 43161ac30b user: tangent tags: trunk | |

This is needed to get the rewritten mkos8 working. This version of the rewritten mkos8 uses tc08.mkos8 to successfully redo all the things that were in the "head" command to create a bootable tc08 DECtape. TODO: 1.

They work as expected: /B in PIP pads the ptp device with lots of null leader/trailer. Specifically, 192 bytes are added at the beginning; Any ^Z at the end of the original .BN format file is removed. Any NULL padding in the OS/8 filesystem after the end of file is removed. Leader-trailer of 0200 and the 000 is added at the end. It will be interesting to see what kind of transformations are done on transfers into OS/8. Will the ^Z be added to .BN format? Will a sacrificial character on paper tape input be needed? /I returns the binary bits verbatim. The default transfer mode has been changed from /B to /I.

| 07:01 | Had to turn parse_args back into a subroutine, because the new parse_action_file overrode the action_plan being created. Pulled back in some of the old main because I'll reuse that code when I implement the copying. Shifted some of the globals from the middle of the file to the section labeled for globals. BTW: The override by --action-file is because parse_args did two passes: 1. read names and glob them. 2. turn globbed names into actions. The action file is all actions. We override because that way I don't have to write code to figure out how to do a partial second pass of what's already been parsed from the command line when we hit the --action-file argument.

| 22:09 | Modified the newly-created simh.os8_zero_core method to skip the top page of field 2, since it is reported that the OS/8 TD8E driver lives here. We don't use that driver in our current OS/8 disk distribution, but someone may later add that driver to their local clone of our software distribution then try running cc8-tu56-update (or some future script which also calls this new method) and be annoyed when their disk driver is MIA upon re-entering OS/8. check-in: 4b7c450799 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 22:08 | Extracted the core zeroing code chunks from cc8-tu56-update into methods of class simh. They may prove broadly useful. check-in: f79b1587bc user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 12:29 | Updated ChangeLog check-in: 99c1dcabef user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:38 | Replaced our reliance on the usbmount package — which only works out of the box on Raspbian Jessie and older — with a shell script based on https://serverfault.com/a/767079 which incidentally gives us the freedome to improve on it. check-in: d136804bf1 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 10:08 | Whitespace improvements to bldcc8.bi. It changes the order of files on the output tape for some reason, so cc8.tu56 is updated yet again. check-in: 2036c8a7b0 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 09:55 | Assorted improvements to the main CC8 manual. check-in: 5545137c62 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 09:49 | Renamed CC.BI to CCR.BI. OS/8 isn't terribly smart about figuring out which "CC.*" you meant when you say "EXE CC", so we need a prefix that doesn't conflict with CC8 output files. The new name means "Compile C and Run." It is definitely not a classic rock pun. Definitely. check-in: 20d1ed131d user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 09:14 | Assorted improvements in src/cc8/examples/README.md to track recent developments in CC8 land. check-in: c598b55169 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 08:42 | Added bldcc8.bi and cc.c to the list of files we delete from the working RK05 disk from cc8-tu56-update, since they're also temporaries. Also reworked the way we're handling the Python lists to avoid problems with OS/8 command line length limits. check-in: 5d10912237 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 07:56 | Reworked the newly-deterministic cc8.tu56 creation in terms of Python lists so the code is easier to expand and the file lists are easier to read. Also improved the comments. Removed a pointless and possibly dangerous "DEL *.C" command which we no longer need now that we've given up on using wildcards in the COPY commands. There still remains some source of mischief because cc8.tu56 changed again purely by building it on a different platform. check-in: 32e4c2a446 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 06:59 | Comment improvements check-in: e8175ab22c user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 03:00 | Fix for [ab0e67]: In addition to unmounting the dt image explicitly, one needs to clean out any files from previous runs of the script. The OS/8 copy actions send output in the order found on the input disk. The Linker resolves library items in the order the input files are found on disk. So we must remove anything from a previous run of the program, and SQUISH SYS: and DSK: so that successive runs of the script will cause input and output files to ALWAYS show up in the same order on the disk. When this is done cc8.tu56 DOES come up bit identical. This checkin is for the good script and the resulting good (canonical) cc8.tu56. check-in: 6f59c23708 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |

| 20:13 | Removed the warning about LF-only example/*.fc inputs to "make" in the U/W FOCAL manual supplement: txt2ptp now fixes this. check-in: f53b42b748 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 04:56 | I am concerned that one needs to explicitly detatch dectapes before quitting the simulator. I have added that to cc8-tu56-update. I am pushing out the cc8.tu56 I built with this version. It corrects a corrupt LIBC.RL that was in the previous version. Alas, this version of cc8-tu56-update STILL does not create bit-identical tape images on successive runs. check-in: 599e310e0e user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |

| 14:34 | bosi init now kills off all processes for user 'pi' before usermodding it. Jessie didn't need this, but under Stretch, you have the "systemd --user" process and one other even after exec'ing yourself a pure root shell. check-in: 5b53879bca user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 13:28 | Replaced "build Fossil from source" stuff in bosi init with a wget call for the unversioned binary build previously published to the project site by tools/publish-fossil. check-in: 53f593579b user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 09:38 | Rebuilt cc8.tu56. Prior one caused ERROR 0004. check-in: 2e5d30a5b3 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 09:19 | Merged the branch backing out a change made upstream to SIMH back in August which screws up the fixed-rate simulator throttling. Hopefully we'll get a better fix later, but we've given upstream 3 days to fix this and we haven't even gotten a reply yet. check-in: 44bacd76c8 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 09:16 | Jonathan Trites found a use of '\*' in a call to simh.os8_send_cmd() which we missed when fixing these escaping issues a while back. It's probably insignificant since it follows a short command, but it is at least sloppy, so it's worth fixing. check-in: f9cc818c8c user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 06:56 | cc8-tu56-update now zeroes most of core before running the compile-and-SAVE BATCH file. It was hoped that this would fix the nondeterminism of the script, but that doesn't seem to be the case. check-in: d73c5b76db user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 06:26 | cc8-tu56-update no longer copies basic.c to the tape image: the OS/8 compiler isn't currently able to compile it. check-in: 20a61bf4e6 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 06:25 | The CC8 cross-compiler now writes out *.sb instead of *.s to match the OS/8 file naming convention for SABR output, and to avoid the confusing use of *.s for some POSIX assembly languages. It was using *.s simply because it could replace *.c on the input file name with a single character replacement. If the input file name is exactly at the file name buffer's limit (20 bytes, including the trailing null), we still write out *.s rather that mess with resizing buffers or reserving one byte, complicating all the other uses of that buffer size. check-in: 857b3fafc0 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 03:21 | Steve Bennett's idea for redesigning our mkos8/auto.def option sharing mechanism so that it doesn't require modifications to autosetup.

| 02:28 | Updated SIMH to current upstream version. The only substantial change from our perpsective is working around a change they made to scp.h which redefines all of ctype.h, then changes their names, forcing any program that indirectly included scp.h to also link to scp.o! Broke that tie by carefully reworking our #includes to avoid bringing scp.h into programs like pidp8i-test which do not link to the rest of SIMH. check-in: 0b8fb3f7d8 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 10:32 | Extracted the manual COMP and LOADER steps in tools/cc8-tu56-update out as an OS/8 batch script (bldcc8.bi) which we send along with all the other static text files. This eliminates the possibility of any differences in the back-and-forth between cc8-tu56-update, pexpect, and SIMH from causing differences in the resulting cc8.tu56 file, which we're also checkin in at this time. check-in: ab58d17e25 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 13:09 | Reworked the "build PS.CC" example in src/cc8/README.md to use CC0 instead of CC1. I find it considerably easier. check-in: 1d737f0325 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 13:06 | Removed cc8.rk05 and its boot script now that os8v3d-*.rk05 is a functional superset of it. check-in: 882b8a05b7 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 12:52 | bosi prepare now sets up auto-expanding root filesystem check-in: 666c3dbe59 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:43 | Moved the "zero core memory" step up a bit within cc8-tu56-update: it was between the mag tape and disk pack attachment commands to SIMH, and there's no good reason to split those two. Since it's easier to do it before attaching media than to slide it in between the attachments and the boot command, I've done it that way. check-in: 0a87f19eed user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:34 | Updated cc8.tu56 after the zero-core fix. check-in: bd1d639081 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:32 | cc8-tu56-update now zeroes core before beginning work. Since it uses the OS/8 SAVE command, it really needs known prior core contents before we do the SAVE, else the output is nondeterministic. check-in: 5b75dd49a0 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 08:18 | Now that test-os8-send-file is transferring a single file reliably, reworked its main() to try a loop of 1000 send/get cycles. check-in: d192d2bcc0 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 08:01 | Removed ASCII 127 from the set of characters we send via tools/test-os8-send-file: it's clearly being interpreted, causing needless differences in the test output. check-in: 94811a17f0 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 07:54 | Removed double quotes from "attach ptp FILENAME" command sent by simh.os8_send_file(). SIMH doesn't let you quote a file name; implicit in that is that we're dependent on Python's temp file naming scheme not to give us a string with spaces or other problematic characters. check-in: a78fadf377 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 16:16 | Merged "make clean" improvements in from trunk Closed-Leaf check-in: 93a3d15c0a user: tangent tags: cc8-64-bit | |
| 16:16 | Added several things to "make clean". check-in: cc50ffe3d1 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 16:01 | First steps toward making the cc8 cross-compiler run correctly on 64-bit systems where sizeof(int) != sizeof(char*). See ticket [a3f875cd] for details. check-in: d75851a10e user: tangent tags: cc8-64-bit | |
| 15:23 | Assorted fixes to allow the cc8 cross-compiler to build in Xcode: added "return 0" to functions without an explicit return value which don't end in a return statement in all code paths; renamed kill() to kill_line() to avoid conflicting with the POSIX syscall; and removed link(), which also conflicts with POSIX syscall set, but isn't actually used here. Also fixed line ending styles and re-removed the getchar() at the end of main(). check-in: 27e81d863c user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 14:16 | Added simh.os8_get_file() and tools/test-os8-send-file to test it and its inverse, simh.os8_send_file(). It isn't working yet, but it won't interfere with anything, and someone else may be able to finish it. check-in: 71ddf33004 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 19:41 | A few typo fixes in previous check-in: c9b341cd23 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 19:36 | Reworked the "Government Health Warning" section of the CC8 README to split the limitations apart from the list of known-working features. Also spread the recently added "Nov 2018" (sic) stuff through the document rather than just have it tacked onto the end. check-in: be43971b09 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 17:07 | Healed Ian Schofield's inadvertent trunk fork. check-in: 41b8fa50af user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 17:06 | Added "fossil sync" fix for anonymous clones in the "Fossil Developer Access" section of HACKERS.md. Also promoted some inline URLs from http to https. check-in: 42548b4bd2 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 16:51 | Extended the "skips" mechanism used in the "mkos8 patch" facility so that we can skip the FUTIL V7 patches when MACREL is being installed, since we know they will fail. Technically speaking, this change is not absolutely necessary since mkos8 was already smart enough to cope with the failure of the patch to apply, but we don't want end users complaining about "failed patches", not realizing that they are not expected to apply correctly when you do not give --disable-os8-macrel. check-in: faec308ed2 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 16:38 | Update of include file names. check-in: f12365e05c user: isysxp tags: trunk | |
| 16:04 | This update contains a correction for the expression parser and the addition of 2 operators ...% and ~. In addition, the spacing issue has been resolved to a degree. This is very difficult to test. Overall, the native compiler is for a bit of fun. If you want to run a serious c programme, try the hosted compiler (cc8) as this will compile the (native) compiler and library. check-in: 05b40e1d4c user: isysxp tags: trunk | |
| 13:33 | Updated ChangeLog.md. check-in: a87371e238 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 13:15 | Merged in trunk changes; closing branch as it has been superceded by Ian checking the fixes (plus more) in later down the trunk. Closed-Leaf check-in: 17057db60f user: tangent tags: cc8-fixes | |
| 12:52 | We were not resetting the simulator's Pause state at the end of every IOT state, so that the ILS sampling scheme would tend to over-count the number of instructions that had the Pause LED lit. Problem noticed by Ian Schofield, fix by me. check-in: adf01e8579 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 12:46 | No longer passing the PDP-8 simulator's MB register to set_pidp8i_leds() from within the CPU instruction dispatch loop. According to Ian Schofield, the simulator's IR register actually contains what should display in the MB lights at these call points. Since we were already passing that register, we just dropped the parameter we no longer use, and use IR instead. Closes [973271ae36]. check-in: 5597b069b2 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 12:18 | Folded the non-duplicate parts of the "OS8 System Packs" wiki article into the top-level README.md file so we can remove the unversioned wiki article in favor of this versioned file. check-in: 5361575d8e user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:27 | Merged configure/mkos8 argument parsing DRY fixes. Closes [f5d5cf50c4] and [68dae7cc88]. check-in: ed0480e0be user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:13 | Makefile.in fixes for out-of-tree build-and-install. Some of it is for the new lib/mkos8/opts.py but it also affects the rest of lib/mkos8. Closed-Leaf check-in: b497ea1d85 user: tangent tags: mkos8-option-dry-fix | |
| 09:29 | The configure script now makes the lib/mkos8 directory before writing opts.py there in case we're building out-of-tree, in which case the directory won't already exist. ($srcdir/lib/mkos8 does exist.) check-in: 40b486cd05 user: tangent tags: mkos8-option-dry-fix | |
| 09:16 | Rather than duplicate all of the option definitions and help texts between auto.def and lib/mkos8/argparser.py, we now generate lib/mkos8/opts.py from auto.def based on the options() values at the top of auto.def which mkos8's argument parser reads and uses to define most of its command line options, making a near-parallel of most of the configure script's --*-os8-*. This is on a branch because there are quite a few subtleties in all of this which means this feature needs more testing to be sure it is complete and doesn't break anything. So far, this change is a delta loss of 132 lines, a good sign that it's worth the complexity of doing things this way. Provisionally closes [f5d5cf50c4] and [68dae7cc88]. check-in: 9dcaed3c64 user: tangent tags: mkos8-option-dry-fix | |
| 07:21 | "make clean" no longer removes Makefiles generated from Makefile.ins. You now have to say "make distclean" to nuke those, along with all the other files that bring us back closer to a "fossil clean" state. check-in: 70dcfbc33d user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 07:12 | Replaced hard-coded -DHAVE_DLOPEN=so CFLAGS option with one based on SH_SOEXT variable exported by autosetup, which allows SIMH to dynamically link to optional libraries such as libreadline on platforms that use a different dlopen(2) file name extension. Tested as not changing anything on Raspbian and as allowing command completion in SCP on macOS. Theoretically, it should allow use of DLLs on Windows, but this has not been tested; it probably only does so under Cygwin. check-in: 161b1c1b6b user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 05:43 | Minor corrections of typos and formatting problems to docs amended in previous update. check-in: bc636c64e7 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 05:18 | After much testing I provide this new integration of MACREL: v2. Additionally I have updated os-patching.md to reflect current reality, and spun two sections from that doc into their own docs that cover macrel and the OS/8 V3D Device Extensions kit. MACREL v2 contains an update version of FUTIL that matches MACREL. That drove hand-integration of FUTIL patch 32.13.1M to get it working again under batch. The test program, RESORC, from the OS/8 V3D Device Extensions kit runs just fine when installed on SYS: but not anywhere else. I wailed on this problem for a while but could not find root cause. That version if RESORC is NOT installed. I'm just trying to understand what it is about that epoch of building that behaves in that unexpected way. check-in: c0e2d1ce56 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 04:46 | Regularized os8-* option help texts in auto.def and fixed tenses in verbs so they match the sense of the option's *inverse*, since that is how the help text is used in ./configure --help output. check-in: 09f9503302 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 20:20 | FUTIL V8A hangs under batch, and so it breaks our auto-build process as soon as we copy it in. I have hand-applied patch 35.13.1M which fixes the problem and upgrades FUTIL to v8B. I have documented work in README.TX, and I'm going to rename this image al-5642c-ba, a version never shipped, but embodying a critical fix. check-in: 86934ed2b1 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 17:20 | Adding a hand-tooled MACREL v2 DECtape image. Contains FUTIL.SV version 8a that should replace v7D to match new Core Control Block format used by the new MACREL. When FUTIL is replaced, we need to re-test and probably disable patch FUTIL-31.21.2M. check-in: 1d6f691bbc user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |

| 20:16 | Thought up a workaround for the lack of toupper() and || in CC8 in the calc.c example. Also added a bunch of comments explaining why it is written the way it is. check-in: 784f8842cd user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 20:01 | Removed the test for lowercase 'y' in the reworked CC8 example calc.c: CC8 doesn't yet understand the C || operator. None of my other attempts to work around this work, either. (cupper, restructuring as nested if/elseif/else tests, etc.) check-in: 156b2b69e9 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 19:51 | Removed a pointless "return 0" in pep001.c check-in: 1657a72a20 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 19:06 | Merged in trunk fix for SAVE SYS BUILD check-in: e29f5b239d user: tangent tags: cc8-fixes | |
| 17:38 | The "SAVE SYS BUILD" did the wrong thing. It carefully saved the updated setup on SYS which had been changed to the RK05, and then, moments later, overwrote it with the original from the DECTAPE. So we do "SAVE DTA0 BUILD" to put our revised setup where it will then be copied along with everything else to the RK05 SYS. check-in: 40a3f17c58 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 07:59 | First attempt at pep001.c. It builds and runs correctly under Clang, but it fails under CC8. check-in: 176f2cabcd user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 07:32 | Merged trunk improvements in check-in: 663aa632ee user: tangent tags: cc8-fixes | |
| 07:31 | Reordered the commands in cc8-tu56-update to collect all of the "send file" calls together. There is some kind of timing sensitivity in all of this which caused the previous method to truncate some of the files or even leave them empty. check-in: 308b654b57 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 06:42 | All of the users of class simh which were using "expect" regexes like '\.' to wait for an OS/8 prompt had to be changed to '\\.' because the string is double-interpreted, first by Python in a string formatting construct (printf(), kinda) and then again in a regex construct, so that without the doubled backslash it was just looking for ., meaning any character in RE-speak. Did the same for '\*' because that was reducing to *, meaning "zero or more of the previous", and without a "previous", it matched anything. This doesn't seem to fix anything; I found it trying to fix something else, which I hope to check in soon. check-in: f8d7dc89bf user: tangent tags: trunk | |

Just going with the one that builds without warnings on the supported version of Raspbian, then turning off the warning so it doesn't appear on platforms that really want the other form. We're not seriously going to be stressing the local integer size anyway; the compiler is just being pedantic here. check-in: cd094984d4 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 09:12 | "mkos8 patch" no longer tries to apply patches to FORTRAN II and FORTRAN IV files if the corresponding --disable-os8-fortran-* options were given to the configure script. check-in: f4d3cf118a user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 08:54 | Reworked the CC[0-2].SV copy command in cc8-tu56-update so that it skips CCL.SV, thus avoiding the hole in the resulting DECtape image. check-in: d2f66e76b9 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 08:36 | Rewrote the code in mkos8 emitting DEL foo.SV commands as part of --disable-fortran-ii processing so that only one command goes to the simulator, which runs faster and logs nicer. check-in: ff1e1c0545 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 08:27 | Small Python style tweak check-in: 0db3c5fc38 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 08:13 | Giving --disable-os8-fortran-ii now leaves out LOADER, LIBSET, and SABR. Because the OS/8 version of CC8 depends on LOADER and SABR, it also implicitly sets --disable-os8-cc8. check-in: 648ea9921c user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 07:11 | Running cc8-tu56-update on a Pi 3 gives a different result than running it on a macOS box using the *.s files produced on the Pi 3. Not sure why, but of the two, the result on the Pi 3 is more trustworthy, so using that one. check-in: 7d73c6e8e5 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 06:54 | Removed the getchar() call near the end of main() in the cc8 cross-compiler. It blocks cc8-tu56-update, and we don't want to add a "send CR" bit to the script just to placate it. check-in: 96b6cef0c3 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 06:50 | Fixed COPY commands near the end of cc8-tu56-update: they weren't grabbing everything we thought they should. Also removed CCL.SV, inadvertently copied to the tape by the CC?.SV pattern. check-in: 0eaba4e478 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 06:33 | Initial version of tools/cc8-tu56-update complete, which updates media/os8/subsys/cc8.tu56 from the contents of src/cc8. The latter is now much smaller than before, since we no longer include the intermediate files: all *.SB and most *.RL. The only exception is LIBC.RL, which the linking step needs when building end-user programs. check-in: 4e67bbdfaf user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 06:30 | Rewrote src/cc8/examples/calc.c for clarity. It could be better, but it doesn't build and run properly as-is, so I've stopped here, waiting for improvements to the C compiler. check-in: 832db28e22 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 06:24 | Reverted the LF -> CRLF change in media/os8/init.tx.in, since autosetup just reverts it when creating init.tx. Instead, modified txt2ptp to turn LF input into CRLF output. I chose this instead of running a "dos2unix" type program on the files from simh.os8_send_file() because there is no standard for the name of such a program. Since our txt2ptp filter has to be involved anyway, we might as well give it the job. check-in: 6653eac20e user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 06:06 | Reworked the stock init.tx.in file to use lowercase, now that it's allowed, and to have DOS line endings now that it's being copied in as-is, rather than filtered through mkos8, which implicitly converts the line ending style. check-in: 93f3beed61 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 06:01 | Rewrote simh.os8_send_file in terms of txt2ptp and SIMH paper tape attachment and read-in. It's faster, it works with much larger files, and it doesn't fold lowercase input. check-in: 69766295e7 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 04:35 | The top-level "run" target no longer depends on the build RK05 media because we need to be able to use it to run whatever's built, even if it's technically out of date. The thing we're working on now modifies the RK05 disk images, and we need to then be able to say "make run" to examine what it did without having the work overwritten. check-in: b4e684c40a user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 03:49 | Moved another part of the "send file to OS/8" process from mkos8 to simh.os8_send_file(). check-in: 12dd946f7a user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:14 | Collected the CC8 example and test programs into src/cc8/examples and wrote a more extensive README.md for them based on the old src/cc8/examples/README.md file. check-in: 9cf664a25e user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 01:44 | Added another libc.h symlink check-in: c787c0ca0a user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 00:17 | Factored the "send INIT.TX" step of mkos8 out as simh.os8_send_file() so we can reuse it in another script. check-in: b14acea3cd user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 23:28 | Fixed some code in the #include handling of CC8 which relied on undefined behavior. The replacement is actually simpler than the original, because the function using UB reduces to a no-op except on CP/M, which of course we don't care about. check-in: c548671ea0 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 23:18 | Added a redirect-to-top[ Makefile.in to src/cc8/os8, since you have to be cd'd into that directory to build the OS/8 compiler, so you want to be able to say "make" from there. check-in: a388b49124 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 23:12 | Added libc.h symlink to src/cc8/os8 directory pointing at ../include/libc.h since CC8 assumes a flat filesystem. check-in: 5fe720a649 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 06:18 | Briefer output from test-mkos8. check-in: 97d4065304 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 04:43 | The method we were using for comparing lz4-compressed RK05 disk images in test-mkos8 only works if lz4 on the generating system and the test system give the same output for the same input, but this appears not to be the case between macOS 10.12 and Raspbian Stretch, likely due to improvements in the compression algorithm or compression defaults between the two versions in use. Therefore, instead of doing a binary comparison of the rklz files, we now decompress the rklz files and compare those outputs using a new tools/cmplz script which test-mkos8 calls. check-in: 8d51be13c7 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 00:26 | mkos8 was reading init.tx from dirs.os8mi, which is in the source tree, not the build tree, so the recent change to test-mkos8 to write a neutral init.tx file was not doing anything useful. This removes the reason for this branch, so I'm closing it now. Closed-Leaf check-in: 5111887856 user: tangent tags: test-mkos8-pinned | |

| 23:59 | test-mkos8 now overwrites init.tx with a neutral replacement so that tests made on one machine can be compared to those performed on another. check-in: 68de63f2c8 user: tangent tags: test-mkos8-pinned | |
| 06:21 | Merged in trunk changes. The original reason for this branch just disappeared, to be replaced by a new one: the test results can only be compared between two identical checkins because of the INIT.TX file, but that just means we now need to use this branch to pin a particular version in place. Thus, we might as well bring the recent trunk changes in and start again. With test-mkos8 -es, we don't need to regenerate the entire test corpus to learn useful things. check-in: 111c244601 user: tangent tags: test-mkos8-pinned | |
| 05:55 | test-mkos8 saves the mismatched rklz file if the test doesn't pass check-in: 2147ab88c0 user: tangent tags: test-mkos8-pinned | |
| 05:07 | Renamed test-mkos8 -s option to -1 and implemented -e and -s, which together allow Monte Carlo testing on a subset of the test corpus. This is on a branch because the current test corpus was generated before the change to 3-column DIRECT output in generated OS/8 disk images, which changes the disk contents and log contents. Thus, we need to do this development on a branch stemming from the last checkin before that change and any possible later ones, until we're ready to regenerate the test corpus. check-in: 47217f7552 user: tangent tags: test-mkos8-pinned | |
| 04:20 | Fixed a bug in the way teco-pi-demo was starting the simulator introduced along with the recent "ignore GPIO lock failure" stuff for mkos8. check-in: c0788fcd5c user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 04:05 | Made second parameter to class simh's ctor optional, as the comments claim, so that teco-pi-demo will run again. check-in: 846340d3d1 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:30 | The new "throw exception on GPIO failure" feature added to prevent teco-pi-demo from colliding with other simulator users broke mkos8 under the collision case. (Not otherwise.) It is now possible to tell class simh whether this condition is considered fatal or not. check-in: 7e16fe3b23 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:17 | Added a #include to src/d8tape/d8tape.h to placate the GCC on Raspbian Stretch. check-in: 17be5b5dd8 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:16 | Integrated Robert Krten's d8tape host-side disassembler. It is the version distributed [here][1] with the following changes: 1. A trivial warning-squishing change 2. Using our own build system instead of the given `Makefile`. This also means no automatic version number bumping. 3. The `LICENSE` file is replaced with `src/d8tape/LICENSE.md`, containing the salient content of a private email message from Robert Krten granting more liberal use of the program than in the original license. [1]: http://dustyoldcomputers.com/pdp-common/reference/host/ check-in: 24d387ee4e user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 01:25 | Added "SET TTY COL 3" to mkos8 to give 3-column DIRECT listings, like the old os8.rk05 did. This checkin will cause a binary change to all RK05 bin disks created by mkos8; thus the new tag on checkin [fe441b85b]. check-in: 676330e2d9 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 00:58 | The icky "sleep" call in teco-pi-demo wasn't long enough to always fix the SIMH "cont" problem. Doubled it; we'll see if that fixes it in all cases. check-in: 95df7e245b user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 00:44 | Class simh now throws an exception when the GPIO is locked at simulator start time. If this happens, teco-pi-demo exits with an error and mkos8 just grouses a bit; the difference being, teco-pi-demo really needs the display and mkos8 really doesn't. Applying tag "test-mkos8-mark" to this release because a change a bit down the timeline breaks all of the test-mkos8 outputs so far, so we need to be able to return to this checkin symbolically until we're done using that test corpus. check-in: fe441b85b4 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 06:46 | Including a comparison to our guess at the average IPS rate for a PDP-8/I in the teco-pi-demo -b output. check-in: 4c68402d93 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 05:58 | Updated hardcoded RPi B+ constant in the pidp8i.ips module based on actual test results. check-in: ab68fa4e64 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 05:04 | ChangeLog updates check-in: 9ec0b6f43f user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 04:53 | Replaced the broken calculation for simh._kbd_delay with a new one based on the new pidp8i.ips module, potentially modified by teco-pi-demo -b. The previous version had a Python bug in it that caused no delay at all to be applied between OS/8 keystrokes, which probably means it would only work reliably on sufficiently fast host machines. This one doesn't change the per-test build time all that much, but it will add increasing amounts of keyboard delays on slow hosts, as is appropriate. check-in: 2211503b72 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 04:51 | More refinement to the INFILES and OUTFILES stuff in Makefile.in check-in: fe265b4e07 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 03:50 | Better solution to the problem of parallel make after touching *.in causing parallel reconfigures, one copy for each file in INFILES. check-in: 27766013ab user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 03:04 | Added error diagnostics around making the rk05 copy to be patched. check-in: 2f669b050f user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 02:48 | Fixed an error in Python namespacing introduced in [b80f275e25] check-in: 73fd0da382 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:45 | Python's File.write() apparently doesn't include a newline, though print() does. Grrrr. check-in: 40f1d966f5 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:43 | Comment improvement check-in: e2ece94c5d user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:41 | Improved clarity of benchmarking results from teco-pi-demo -b and that of the underlying constants in the new pidp8i.ips module. check-in: 8b7f53c352 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:37 | Add error detection around the creation of the bootable OS/8 DECtape image. Sometimes the creation fails and blows something else out unexpectedly. check-in: 892c109447 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 02:26 | Added teco-pi-demo -b mode, which runs the demo for 10 seconds, then gets the IPS value from SIMH and appends it to a new Python module — pidp8i.ips — which initally gives a hardcoded value for a Pi 1, with the update giving the speed of the current hardware. check-in: 7a35b0cb16 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:14 | A short document providing help with our FORTRAN IV stuff. check-in: a4a06ba896 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 02:00 | Subsetted the INFILES list in Makefile.in to segregate the set that requires a mkos8 re-call from those that merely cause a reconfigure and build. As the INFILES list grew, more and more files irrelevant to mkos8 were included, increasing the chances of a pointless mkos8 build. check-in: c0987c9ee3 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 15:23 | Updated TODO section in ChangeLog.md check-in: 1e64c48994 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 14:20 | test-mkos8 now builds and keeps os8v3d-patched.rk05 when not configuring with --disable-os8-patches. Previously, it was building and keeping the -bin disk regardless of this configuration option. check-in: e1a78b7930 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 04:22 | mkos8 contains in-line code to replace FORLIB.RL with the patched one on local.tu56. os8-patching.md documents this new state of affairs. check-in: 1fbbf7a508 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 03:19 | Added the 3 FORTRAN IV Source DECtapes. They came from Dave Gesswein's Archive, pdp8.net under misc_dectapes. The sources I've built seem reasonable. The DECtape part numbers match those for OS/8 V3D FORTRAN IV from the DEC Software Catalog. TODO: Write up what we have for FORTRAN IV in a doc file. check-in: a8ba68ef88 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 03:14 | Updated Fortran IV install: Move the tapes to the subsys directory. Tape #2 is not needed. It contains the source files for the FORLIB.RL run time library. TODO: Add in the source DECtape images to the repository. check-in: 16d14955b5 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 03:12 | Added files necessary for mkos8 to integrate patch FORLIB-51.10.1M.patch8. As per instructions in that patch, a new DLOG.RA has been made with one source line change. DLOG.RA was assembled with RALF into DLOG.RL. LIBRA was used to make an updated FORLIB.RL DLOG.RA and FORLIB.RL are on local.tu56. DLOG.RA in the patch directory is a redundant copy of that file. TODO: Add logic in mkos8 under patches to replace FORLIB.RL with the updated one if BOTH with-os8-fortran-iv AND with-os8-patches are set. check-in: 87aa1be986 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 02:34 | Discovered a typo in the patch, AND that some OCR mistakes had been missed. Both are fixed now. TODO: Codify this patch into something mkos8 can work with. check-in: 69ce06acaf user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |

| 09:17 | With the final (?) bugs squished in the parallel version of test-mkos8, merging it into trunk. check-in: 4fc0e64aff user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 09:16 | Fixed a path bug that caused test-mkos8 to write finished test results to the wrong directory. That in turn caused subsequent runs to re-do tests already completed because the results weren't where it expected to find them. Closed-Leaf check-in: b513069b4c user: tangent tags: parallel-test-mkos8 | |
| 09:15 | Added test-mkos8 -v flag, enabling several new messages that explain what it's about to do. check-in: dad526a6ff user: tangent tags: parallel-test-mkos8 | |

| 08:47 | Though we hacked tools/version to make it print a dummy version string when running under tools/test-mkos8, it didn't exit afterward, so it continued to run the code that was causing the problem we added the workaround to avoid! check-in: 3213505810 user: tangent tags: parallel-test-mkos8 | |
