* Allow macros with different arities to share argument namesHEADmainBen Bridle13 days
| | | | | | | | | | | This commit includes the arity of a parent macro in the namespace of a macro argument, so that the assembler library can recognise that two macro implementations with different arities are not the same. This fixes an error where two implementations of a macro with the same name but different arity could not share argument names, because the arity of the parent macro wasn't being taken into account when checking for redefinitions.
* Convert single-element lists to integers when an integer is requiredBen Bridle13 days
| | | | | | This allows an integer invocation with arguments to be wrapped in `[]` square brackets so that it can be passed to another invocation as an argument.
* Use invocation source for integer type error, not macro sourceBen Bridle2025-11-26

* Remove semantic::ListLiteral::InvocationBen Bridle2025-11-26
| | | | | | This variant was never needed or constructed, I would have added it to match the invocation variants of the block and integer tokens (which do have a use).
* Allow quote characters to be used in identifiersBen Bridle2025-10-27
| | | | | | The single-quote character is used in register names on some processor architectures. The double-quote character is also allowed to be used in identifiers for consistency, it could be confusing otherwise.
* Raise an error if recursion depth exceeds a maximum valueBen Bridle2025-10-15
| | | | | | This is preferable to having the assembler crash with a stack overflow error, because the user can now see which invocation caused the overflow.
* Fix incorrect first segment addressBen Bridle2025-10-15
| | | | | | Previously, if the first intermediate token in a program was a pinned address, the address was being discarded and address zero was being pinned instead.
* Remove string-style argument syntax from error messageBen Bridle2025-10-15
| | | | | | The string-style argument syntax is no longer supported, it has been replaced with a list-style syntax (using square brackets instead of double-quotes).
* Implement new bytecode stageBen Bridle2025-10-14
| | | | | This completes the Torque version 3 rewrite, other than some extensive testing that is yet to be done.
* Implement new intermediate stageBen Bridle2025-10-14
| | | | | | | | Massive improvement. Label references can be used anywhere in the program, with the program being assembled repeatedly until all labels have stabilised. The bytecode stage will just be a tiny stage tacked onto the end, rather than the old bytecode stage that would resolve labels and expressions.
* Track more information with SymbolParserBen Bridle2025-10-14
| | | | | | | | | To be able to re-use the symbol parser code in the intermediate stage in order to quickly find all symbol definitions and invocations in the program (in particular now that macro definitions are indistinguishable from label definitions, since they can both follow references), the symbol parser now tracks additional information about each symbol (argument count, torque-specific role, and parent macro definition).
* Implement lists as a first-class typeBen Bridle2025-10-14
| | | | | | | | | | Previously, strings were implemented as lists of integers, but there was no way to create an arbitrary list of integers to pass to a macro invocation. This commit extends the []-delimited expression syntax, treating expressions that contain only integers and invocations as lists of integers. Strings are implemented as a sub-type of list.
* Change string argument syntax to list argument syntaxBen Bridle2025-10-14
| | | | | Changes string arguments from "name" to [name], to prepare for generic lists in the language. Doesn't compile.
* Allow a macro invocation to precede the macro definitionBen Bridle2025-10-14
| | | | | There is no longer any reason to enforce this restriction. This will allow the use of more complex macro recursion by programs.
* Include argument count in the signature of a symbolBen Bridle2025-10-14
| | | | | This is done by suffixing the argument count to the symbol name using the ':' separator character, which can't normally be used in a symbol.
* Update wording of syntactic and semantic errorsBen Bridle2025-10-14
|
* Rename labels/sublabels to global/local labelsBen Bridle2025-10-13
| | | | This terminology has been used in the manual for a long time now.
* Fix initial indentation when printing semantic tokensBen Bridle2025-10-13
| | | | | | Al non-macro-definition semantic tokens were being printed starting from indentation level zero, instead of from the provided indentation value.
* Add a specific error for nested macro definitionsBen Bridle2025-10-13
| | | | | | This case was previously being reported with the message "The macro definition was not terminated, add a ';' character to terminate", which was not very helpful.
* Allow label references in pinned address calculationsBen Bridle2025-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a relaxation of the rule where a label reference could not be used in any context that could change the length of an assembled program. We implement this in the bytecode stage by naively calculating an initial address for each label as before. If a pinned address is calculated from a label reference, some of the calculated addresses could be incorrect. We then attempt to run the bytecode stage, which will calculate a more accurate address for each label based on how pinned addresses are calculated. If the address of any label was changed by running this stage, we re-run the stage up to three more times until all labels stabilise. If the labels fail to stabilise, we return an error.
* Implement first-class string literalsBen Bridle2025-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | This feature promotes strings to a first-class type in the language. If a string is passed to an invocation via the new string-type argument, the string will be passed as a whole value. String arguments can still be passed to an invocation via an integer-type argument, in which case they'll be broken apart into individual characters with the macro being invoked once per character. String-type macro arguments are declared like "name".
* Fix misleading error messageBen Bridle2025-04-26
| | | | | | The code here is really expecting a block value, but has received an integer value. This catches the case where an integer value is incorrectly included in a macro definition body alongside block tokens.
* Allow a macro to invoke itself safelyBen Bridle2025-04-18
| | | | | | | A macro can now invoke itself if the invocation is inside a conditional block that will eventually return false. The assembler stack can still overflow if the macro recurses too deeply, or if a macro calls itself without a conditional block.
* Allow a macro to invoke itselfBen Bridle2025-04-18
| | | | | This will currently cause the assembler to hang in all situations where it is used.
* Implement <len> operator for expressionsBen Bridle2025-04-18
| | | | | The <len> operator returns the width of an integer in bits, using the same calculation as for packing an integer into a bit field.
* Implement octal literalsBen Bridle2025-04-17
| | | | Octal literals use the prefix '0o'.
* Fix width checks for negative integersBen Bridle2025-04-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | The width of a negative integer was previously being counted in the same way as for a positive integer, by inverting the bits to make it a positive integer and then finding the placement of the highest-order 1 bit. The actual width of a negative integer will always be one greater than this value however, because the highest-order 1 bit of an inverted negative integer will always have directly above it a significant 0 bit used as the sign bit.
* Implement negative integer literalsBen Bridle2025-04-12
| | | | | Negative literals take the forms -29, -0x1D, and -0b11101 for decimal, hexadecimal, and binary.
* Report token without prefix in invalid literal errorsBen Bridle2025-03-23
| | | | | | | Previously, the token quoted in the error message for an invalid literal error included the radix prefix. This is already visible in the highlighted source report, and implied by the named radix in the error message.
* Update assembler dependencyBen Bridle2025-03-18
| | | | torque-asm now uses the Compiler type provided by the assembler library.
* Tidy codyBen Bridle2025-03-18
| | | | | | | - Rename tokens field on SyntacticMacroDefinition to body - Rename push_err! macro to err! - Create macros for character-matching logic in syntactic parsing - Replace .as_bytes().to_vec() pattern with .into_bytes()
* Rewrite entire assemblerBen Bridle2025-03-11
The language is now more general, the code is better structured, error reporting is more detailed, and many new language features have been implemented: - conditional blocks - first-class strings - more expression operators - binary literals - negative values - invocations in constant expressions
