Large memory model as Assembly debugger ?

Rayman

I took me a while recently to debug an assembly code problem (I forget the # in front of a binary constant...)...

I took a brief look at the "Large Memory Model" thread and wonder if that kind of thing could be used to go line by line through a regular assembly code...· Maybe it could send a COG ram to the HUB for inspection between instructions...

Is this possible?

It is not only possible, but Aribas PASD does this for months now

In fact it is upside down: The LMM is "nothing but" a clever debugger.
The concepts of LMM have been utilized in many mainframe emulators and debuggers.

When I read this I just wonder why they do not use a simulator. I see that the ones available lack hw support, But many things can be worked out anyways. I'd really like to know what is wrong with mine... (besides a couple of bugs I found today and I already fixed).

Ale,

Where is your simulator? I looked on Object Exchange, but didn't find any there.

It is not there... don't ask me why.
sourceforge.net/projects/ppropellersim

This week, I'll post an update, because there are a couple of things (longs only hold a value up to 511, and when read CNT returns 0). I also have to improve the editor... for instance, it has to say the number of line and column where the cursor is... , small things, kleinichkeiten

Hi Ale.

One thing to add.

Scrol in Assembler View

Nothing is impossible, there are only different degrees of difficulty.

Sapieha: Ctrl+Up, Ctrl+Down. (Is in the readme )

A better scroll will come soon, I also do not like that. (But was fast to implement)

I'll also add autosave (configurable) for the compiled file.
