| 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 This restores extern.h. Superseded by branch smc85-cc8.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 | |

| 06:20 | Fiddled with glint <- needs to be a char. Needed old target's print_decimal. check-in: 5b76366b51 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 | |
| 06:08 | Create new branch named "smallc-85" check-in: ab1ea77b1a user: poetnerd tags: smallc-85 | |

| 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 | |
|
2018-09-30
| ||
| 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 | |

|
2018-09-09
| ||
| 19:00 | Ian Schofield sent a second patch via private email claiming to have solved the MA/MB value problems in pause mode. This checkin is loosely based on that patch. It needs testing: thus the branch. check-in: 78642e72ce user: tangent tags: ma-mb-pause-fixes | |
|
2018-08-30
| ||
| 01:04 | Fixed a bug in the handling of the OSR instruction which can cause L to be set if the next GPIO pin up from those used by the SR lines happens to be set when you issue that instruction. This one goes back to v20151215! check-in: ffb387c4eb user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 04:58 | More James L-W serial mod GPIO fixes by Dylan McNamee. check-in: 6f67aed364 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 04:54 | Changed GPIO pin mappings for the James L-W serial mod. Also diagnosed by Dylan McNamee. check-in: 538529c44e user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 04:51 | The James L-W serial mod GPIO setup had two lines swapped relative to the original patch. Fix diagnosed by Dylan McNamee on the mailing list: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/pidp-8/tYGYJCSwV-Q/sJmESoAPBgAJ check-in: 59b1d29fcc user: tangent tags: trunk | |

|
2018-04-09
| ||
| 16:08 | The pidp8i script now uppercases its first argument in case it's being run via an all-caps terminal. check-in: 0389ea3108 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
|
2018-04-06

2018-03-28
| ||
| 22:46 | Back out upstream SIMH change 3f7f926 in an attempt to fix a regression in "SET CONSOLE SERIAL". Closed-Leaf check-in: 667bc75355 user: tangent tags: simh-3f7f926-backout | |
|
2018-03-27

| 23:17 | Small clarity tweak to the HACKERS.md section "Submitting Patches." check-in: 615fcb1f25 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
|
2018-03-21
| ||
| 10:33 | Defining SIM_GIT_COMMIT_TIME when building the simulator to match a recent upstream SIMH change, which allows the "SHOW VERSION" command to include a commit timestamp. check-in: 901695a423 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 10:00 | Merged in upstream SIMH changes. No functional change noted for PDP-8, but Mark Pizzolato wants us to track a recent change to "SHOW VERSION", which we'll do in a subsequent commit. check-in: 5d0ee5fb5b user: tangent tags: trunk | |
|
2018-03-20
| ||
| 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 | |
| 04:05 | The reorganization of the src directory so that no *.c is at the top level of src broke "Incandescent Thought". We now look for deeper.c in src/misc, not src. check-in: c465ea6fbb user: tangent tags: trunk | |
|
2018-03-17
| ||
| 23:06 | Release process tweak for the Fossil binary step, now that we're no longer building Fossil from source in BOSI any more. check-in: 374be56f82 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 | |
|
2018-03-13
| ||
| 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 | |

2018-03-04
| ||
| 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 | |
|
2018-03-03
| ||
| 23:33 | Added a describe_dev_config routine, and tried out cleaner approach to parsing _child.after. TODO: Update the existing code to use the cleaner approach. The testing routine tests everything now. check-in: 79b7a7bd9d user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 20:43 | Change between KSR and 7b implemented and tested. check-in: b6403b276e user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 20:12 | Corrected comment on parse_show_rx_dev check-in: b9e53704f7 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 20:00 | Silence one bit of verbosity -- the rx detaches. check-in: 8f8cb98765 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 19:59 | Change for rx01/rx02 is done. TODO: ksr/7bit change. Also: Ponder if this stuff is being too verbose. check-in: 0e4f9c3777 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 18:42 | do_tape_change is fully fleshed out. mkos8 testing is the driver to test it. TODO: Repeat for RX01/RX02 and ksr/7bit check-in: 692b0368ee user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 06:22 | Snapshot: Beginnings of routines to change configs in simh Swapping td/dt DECtape devices; rx01/rx02 devices; ksr/7bit console. Currently just inventories what's attached to dt/td devices. TODO: Finish the swapping code: Detach what's attached and send the config change. 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 | |
|
2018-03-02

| 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 | |
| 02:53 | Yup I had broken absldr. (Forgot to delete legacy code.) Fixed now and tested. check-in: 5998f944de user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
|
2018-03-01
| ||
| 19:36 | Improved approach to option handling. No longer requires custom logic in every sub-command. Also consolidates parsing of comments into a common module. TODO: Test creating a TD12K system with TC08 turned off. TODO: Re-test v3f to make sure I didn't break the absldr sub-command. check-in: e67f63046a 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 | |

| 04:35 | Deleting the last of the OS/8 v3f files from their old home. check-in: cf3f0afe80 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 04:33 | Bringing the updated versions in to their new home: Amendments to os8-v3f sources to get them to build properly, and to clean up newlines as documented in README.md. check-in: e7f3f5c8a9 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 04:27 | Re-checking in original versions in new home. check-in: 70422a41be user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 04:21 | This file should never have been checked in. It was a built artifact, not baseline truth source. check-in: ed42b06197 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 04:20 | First step of moving os8-v3f to a os8/v3f. Move everything with no history. check-in: 3295f96998 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
|
2018-02-26
| ||
| 04:28 | Added include functionality and split out the FOTP copy into a separate file so that it can be common to multiple system head creations scripts. check-in: f6c639f923 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 04:22 | Updated in anticipation of support for TD12K and TDROM DECtape configurations. check-in: 8a4f9efde2 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 04:19 | mkos8 head command now uses the tc08.mkos8 command instead of the in-line code. mkos8 system now uses the v3f-control.mkos8 file to redo the work of the v3f command. Added pal8 and absldr command parsing to script parser. TODO: add file inclusion to script parser. add patching to script parser. try out other system bulld scripts. check-in: aa81f5802a user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 01:48 | Ditto in tools/bosi check-in: 44e7fdb32b user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 01:47 | Switched another systemctl command in the pidp8i-test manual. check-in: a125ef3ebc user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 01:45 | The top-level README.md file now gives "systemctl --user" commands only in one place, purely for documentation value. In all other places, we now use the new "pidp8i $verb" commands. check-in: 4692d6051c user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 23:48 | Clarity fixes to the new "doc" discussion in the HACKERS.md file's directory structure section. check-in: 5a93928903 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 23:45 | Documented an exception to the "etc" rule in the HACKERS.md directory layout section. check-in: 76739686ac user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 23:21 | Fixed a logic bug in the "make mediainstall" skip test, and added a message when we skip the step to make it clear which path was taken. check-in: 36b7e06e65 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 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 | |
| 22:33 | Clarifications to the directory scheme section of HACKERS.md. check-in: 088bcc323f user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 04:50 | Finally bit the bullet and added a _context to simh object so we now EXPLICITLY keep track of what command context we are in, and we can now explicitly know, "You have to do s.back_to_cmd so you're back in the simh context and can issue those commands." 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. Change head to do run_system on that file. 2. Add code to enable v3f-control.mkos8 to reproduce what the "v3f" command does. 3. Do the same thing with bin, patch, src. Open issue: How do we want to re-express all the optional build stuff? I think the cleanest way is to have os8-v3d-patched.mkos8.in check-in: e0b7feccad user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
|
2018-02-23
| ||
| 06:17 | SNAPSHOT: Beginnings of yet another mkos8 rewrite. This one creates a "system" command that reads in a control file and parses it into call outs to OS/8 in simh. It is half done. When there is a complete first draft, then we go back and see what can be pruned. Still being considered: How much parsing and filtering should we do for lines being passed into OS/8? check-in: c3d90b5b86 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

2018-02-22

| 17:31 | Clarified in README.md that the goo.gl link points to a release tarball URL. Pointed the user to the "bleeding edge" links on the home page if they want the tip of trunk instead. check-in: 363c3a4164 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 15:30 | Added the --disable-usb-automount option to the configure script. check-in: 519af7fb16 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 13:58 | Changed the way the systemd user unit file is installed so that it starts on boot. (It was referencing a target that doesn't exist in the user unit namespace, only in the system-level namespace.) check-in: 9df981f85d user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 13:57 | The change to bin/pidp8i to make it a systemctl command shortener broke the install verb. check-in: 210dd32e7f user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 13:34 | Moved most of the material on the systemd service from the "Major Differences" wiki document into the top-level README.md file's section on the same topic. check-in: 7bdf00a1e0 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 13:19 | Documented the new "pidp8i $VERB" interactive command shortener. check-in: 5f3a0f3399 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 13:16 | The pidp8i command now recognizes when it's being run interactively with arguments and passes them on to systemctl, acting as a command shortener. check-in: 62d01a3ac6 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 12:38 | Clarity pass on the new systemd section at the end of README.md. check-in: e505816ebe user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 12:24 | Changed several documentation references to "sudo systemctl VERB pip8pi" commands to work with the new user-level service. check-in: f64def86c2 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 12:19 | Swapped etc/pidp8i-init.in (a SysV init script) out for etc/pidp8i.service.in (a systemd user unit), moving much of what was in the init script into bin/pidp8i.in. Implements [fc237d3f08]; see that ticket for the rationale. check-in: 4a5ef7682b user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 03:31 | Additional all-important comment: In SIMH, make sure you do, "set rx rx28" if you are going to use rx02 and "set rx rx8e" if you are going to use rx01. rx8e is currently the default. check-in: 77f7c141e7 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:16 | mkos8 v3f now builds the device drivers. mkos8 head now fleshes out the build with the all-important RX02 driver from v3f. The code has extensive comments on how we would build different configurations including 12K and ROM TD8E systems.

| 04:02 | Improved defaults: Added a default system image if none is specified on the command line: The os8v3d-patch.rk05 file in bin booted on rk0. Tested binary transfers from OS/8. 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.

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 | |

| 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.

| 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 | |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |

| 12:24 | Noted that we're distributing MACREL v2 now in a few of the docs. check-in: 0ce8bda688 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 | |

| 20:22 | Implementing rename. check-in: 6f9077faef user: poetnerd 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 | |

| 19:06 | 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 | |
