191 Updated toolchain, more information on the example debugger. dgisselq 2964d 15h /zipcpu/trunk/sw/zipdbg/README
31 README now comments on the relationship between the debugger and the
test bench. (They came from the same code at one time ...)		 dgisselq 3388d 19h /zipcpu/trunk/sw/zipdbg/README
26 Added signed and unsigned multiply opcodes to the assembler.

An opcode was added for a 'negate' instruction. This is a derived instruction
that turns into two instructions. Neg RX becomes an XOR -1,Rx followed by an
Add 1,Rx command. (Move 1+Rx,Rx would've stalled the bus by one cycle.)

Instructions now keep track of the source linenumber (but not yet filename)
where they were issued. That way, upon an error in linking at the end, the
instruction can be referenced by the proper line number. (Filenames are still
not implemented, hence include files may reference the line number of the
include file with no proper indication of that ... yet).

The OBJFILE intrface now supports a clos() function. This allows the
assembler to close and delete the object file for those cases where the
preprocessor encounters an error.

The master test file, sw/test.S, was adjuted as follows: many of the tests
within it can be separated by #ifdef lines. Hence, if you only wish to test
whether or not CARRY works, undefine all of the other ifdefs but leave the
CARRY_TEST defined. (PUSH_TEST, a test of the PUSH(RX,SP) macro, still doesn't
work because the assembler still doesn't implement macros. This is still a
coming feature.)

The master test file now has tests for the break function, as well as for the
new trap CC bit and the new multiply signed and unsigned instructions in the
ALU.

Many error conditions were added to the assembler preprocessor. Now, if an
EOF is encountered in anything but the INITIAL state (not within a macro),
an error will be created. Likewise, any unrecognized preprocessor directive
will create an error.

The lexical analyzer now supports character values, such as 'a' or '\n' using
a C-type syntax. (Tri-graphs are not supported.) It also supports such
extended syntax as '$GPG'. (Hmm ... wonder why I needed that?)

The lexical analyzer now recognizes and properly supports #line preprocessor
output statements. Theselines are then used to track what source line errors
occurr at.

Operand precedence has been adjusted, so the assembler should be able to
properly handle things like 5+3*8 and get the same number answer as 3*8+5.
(This has been implemented, although not thoroughly tested.)

Upon completion of any preprocessing file, the assembler now checks the status
of the preprocessor as returned by its exit code. Anything other than a zero
status will cause the assembler to delete the resulting object code file it is
building and exit with an error.

The assembler also supports the '-d' command line flag to turn on debugging in
the yacc processor (setting yydebug). It'll produce a lot of debugging output,
but it just might help to figure out what 'syntax error' is actually taking
place.		 dgisselq 3389d 04h /zipcpu/trunk/sw/zipdbg/README
