// #LAYOUT# STD * #TAKE // #LAYOUT# * BASIC_0 #TAKE // #LAYOUT# * * #IGNORE // As many errors are triggered from many places in the BASIC // interprettor, it is important to have an efficicent means of // calling them. // LDX #$nn / jmp do_basic_error // is the simplest, but takes 5 bytes. // Having a direct JMP address for each error is preferable, as // it reduces the overhead to 3 bytes, but at the cost of having // a jump table of some sort. The .byte $2C method can be used // to have a set of addresses that each execute a different // LDX #$nn command, reducing the cost of the jump table to 3 // bytes per error number. // But we can do better with a bit of scullduggery and carnal // knowledge of ZP usage. // The INC $nn opcode is $E6. ZP location $E6 is one of the screen // link addresses. In the original KERNAL, the lower bits of those // addresses have meaning, but in our KERNAL, we ignore them, and just // have them all zeroes. So.... We can have a sequence of $E6 bytes, // and know exactly how many of them have been executed, by checking // the value of $E6. Then all we need to worry about is if an odd // number is required, then we have to have an exit that has a $E6 // opcode with some other address as target, but where the byte value // of that argument can be safely executed as a CPU instruction. // NOP = $EA is the obvious choice, as if used as an argument to // $E6 will increment location $EA, which is another of the screen // link addresses. // This gives a total overhead of 18 bytes + 1 byte per error // message. This compares favourably to the 3 bytes per error // message that the $2C method would result in. do_NOT_IMPLEMENTED_error: .byte $E6 do_MEMORY_CORRUPT_error: .byte $E6 // the message "BYTES FREE" .byte $E6 // the word ERROR .byte $E6 // The word "SAVING" .byte $E6 // The word "VERIFYING" .byte $E6 // The word "LOADING" .byte $E6 // The word "READY." .byte $E6 do_LOAD_error: .byte $E6 do_VERIFY_error: .byte $E6 do_UNDEFD_FUNCTION_error: .byte $E6 do_CANT_CONTINUE_error: .byte $E6 do_FORMULA_TOO_COMPLEX_error: .byte $E6 do_FILE_DATA_error: .byte $E6 do_STRING_TOO_LONG_error: .byte $E6 do_TYPE_MISMATCH_error: .byte $E6 do_ILLEGAL_DIRECT_error: .byte $E6 do_DIVISION_BY_ZERO_error: .byte $E6 do_REDIMD_ARRAY_error: .byte $E6 do_BAD_SUBSCRIPT_error: .byte $E6 do_UNDEFD_STATEMENT_error: .byte $E6 do_OUT_OF_MEMORY_error: .byte $E6 do_OVERFLOW_error: .byte $E6 do_ILLEGAL_QUANTITY_error: .byte $E6 do_OUT_OF_DATA_error: .byte $E6 do_RETURN_WITHOUT_GOSUB_error: .byte $E6 do_SYNTAX_error: .byte $E6 do_NEXT_WITHOUT_FOR_error: .byte $E6 do_ILLEGAL_DEVICE_NUMBER_error: .byte $E6 do_MISSING_FILENAME_error: .byte $E6 do_NOT_OUTPUT_FILE_error: .byte $E6 do_NOT_INPUT_FILE_error: .byte $E6 do_DEVICE_NOT_PRESENT_error: .byte $E6 do_FILE_NOT_FOUND_error: .byte $E6 do_FILE_NOT_OPEN_error: .byte $E6 do_FILE_OPEN_error: .byte $E6 do_TO_MANY_FILES_error: .byte $EA // Now get the error # and restore $E6 to its correct value lda $E6 pha and #$80 sta $E6 pla // $E6 has even part asl ora $EA and #$7f tax // Restore $EA to correct value in case the NOP above is used // as an argument to the preceeding INC $nn (opcode $E6). lda $EA and #$80 sta $EA // FALL THROUGH // Error # in X do_basic_error: // "?" txa pha jsr print_return lda #$3f jsr JCHROUT pla tax // Error message text jsr print_packed_message // A space between error name and word error jsr print_space // "ERROR" ldx #33 jsr print_packed_message lda CURLIN+1 cmp #$ff beq !+ // We were in a program, so show IN ldx #31 jsr print_packed_message lda CURLIN+1 ldx CURLIN+0 jsr print_integer !: // New lines jsr print_return lda #$00 jsr JCHROUT // XXX - Restore stack depth first? jmp basic_main_loop
