Most history routines defined a local sim_eval of the proper length, but the
erroneous ones were fixed length machines that defined an integer variable
instead of an integer array of length 1. The VAX used the global sim_eval.
The changes follow the VAX practice.
For the PDP11, this includes deferring the setting of DONE on an error, allowing RSTS V4 to work correctly.
There was a minor (possibly only theoretical) bug in dt_seterr as well.
dt_seterr is supposed to stop the drive. If the drive is accelerating, at
speed, or stopped, it works fine. But if the drive is decelerating, it did
not clear out the "successor" states. In theory, the drive could be in the
middle of reversing - that is, there are successor states of accelerating
(in reverse) and at speed. So the successor states need to be cleared,
or the drive won't actually stop.
The fifth DECtape controller (the PDP8's TD8E) is much simpler and
doesn't have the problem.
ASCII mode for the paper tape reader and punch didn't <quite> work.
In ASCII mode, the <simulator> must create the leader and trailer. The
leader was already there. There shouldn't be nulls in an ASCII file. The
whole point is to be able to prepare and look at input and output files
with a normal text editor.
So this version should work right. It "autogens" trailer more or less
forever. It doesn't really need to return a STOP code on EOF, but users
would probably forget to put form feed at the end, so it doesn't hurt.
1. Implemented Expensive Typewriter mode for TTO.
2. Added ASCII conversion on paper tape punch as well as reader.
3. Changed conversion tables to recognize form feed (014) as FIODEC STOP.
These changes facilitate more robust parameter type checking and helps
to identify unexpected coding errors.
Most simulators can now also be compiled with a C++ compiler without
warnings.
Additionally, these changes have also been configured to facilitate easier
backporting of simulator and device simulation modules to run under the
simh v3.9+ SCP framework.
Both VT11 and VS60 properly autoconfigure on the PDP11.
PDP11 now runs Lunar Lander on all SDL supported platforms.
Reworked refresh logic to not require internal delays in the display library
This reverts commit 5551a0dd9c.
The original idea was that the state being put into simh registers would be required to have all useful information available when remote console executed commands. These steps were taken from the code that sim_instr() executed as it was exiting. After this change was made it was realized that once a remote console command executed it might change state that directly affected instruction execution. To solve this, the logic that executes before the instructions in sim_instr() would then need to be executed whenever the event dispatch processing completed. This approach is messy, burdensome and potentially a lot of overhead for every event dispatch even though almost none of the event dispatches would be for remote console command execution. A completely different approach was suggested by J. David Bryan. That alternative approach would be to have remote console commands execute outside of the sim_instr() routine. Thus allowing the existing prelude and postlude code in sim_instr() to be performed naturally and let the remote console activities run in the same context as all other simh commands. Recent changes to scp and sim_console implement this alternative approach and thus these original changes are completely irrelevant and are thus being removed.
The makefile now works for Linux and most Unix's. However, for Solaris
and MacOS, you must first export the OSTYPE environment variable:
> export OSTYPE
> make
Otherwise, you will get build errors.
