* Optimised intoXX functions
Rewrote intoXX functions to mainly rely on intoHL, as the HL instructions are smaller and faster. Also removed some redundant push and pop instructions. I edited the given unit tests to test these, and they seem to work as expected.
* Doesn't use self-modifying code
The number of bytes is the same as my previous attempt, with 11 more cycles in intoHL, so although I don't feel as clever this time it's still a good optimisation. I found an equivalent method for intoDE, however relying on intoHL still allows for `ex (sp), hl` to be used in intoIX, which is smaller and faster.
* Update core.asm
* Tried harder to follow coding convention
Added tabs between mnemonics and operands, and replaced a new line I accidentally removed.
I've tested RAM usage when self-assembling and there weren't as high
as I thought. zasm's defaults now use less than 0x1800 bytes of RAM,
making it possible, theoretically for now, for a Sega Master System
to assemble Collapse OS from within itself.
Yup, that's ultimately why I've just made this whole big zasm
refactoring in the previous commits. To allow for this.
But also, zasm is in much better shape now...
I'm about to split the global registry in two (labels and consts)
and the previous state of registry selection made things murky.
Now it's much better.
The dual scraptchpad thing doesn't work. Things become very
complicated when it's time to write that back to the file. We
overwrite our contents and end up with garbage.
This hard-binds ed to the filesystem (I liked the idea of working
only with blockdevs though...), but this is necessary for the
upcoming `w` command. We need some kind of way to tell the
destination to write to truncate itself.
This only has a meaning in the filesystem, but it's necessary to
let the file know that its registered file size has possibly
shrunk.
I thought of alternatives that would have allowed me to keep ed
blkdev-centered, but they were all too hackish to my own taste.
Hence, this new hard-bind on files.
During expression parsing, if a local label was parsed, it would
select the local registry and keep that selection, making
subsequent global labels register in the wrong place.
I'm about to break compatibility with scas. Before I do that, I
need to adjusts tests. Instead of running scas to compare results,
we commit expected result as binaries directly in the repo.
