Yes, this sounds like the way to go. By default, the function are not re-entrant and are optimized, but if it's required that they are re-entrant the user is free to do it. > To write a new port, I don't think you need an official guide, just look at > how > an existing port is called from the main code and integrated, and start a new > one in a new subfolder :) If I remember correctly, there's a big port_t > structure that you have to fill with the proper values and function pointers. > > Regards > Sebastien Thank you for pointing me to this. > Isn't the HC08 be similar enough to 6502? Apparently it is quite similar, but the HC08 has no Y register, but has a lot of added instructions the 6502 lacks. I'll really look at the HC08 port as a base for my attempt to port for the 6502. > Also, as a remark, the 6502 has a derivative, the 65C02; of which > there also exists variants with "secret" (more or less officially > supported) instructions. Exact, the 65C02 has some extra instructions. It is used in the TurboGraphix-16 / PC-Engine video game console. There is also the 65C816 which has a 16-bit mode and many extra instructions, which is used in the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) video game console. It would be great to port SDCC for all variants of the 6502 family, although I'm not too sure about 65C816 because it's not entirely a 8-bit CPU, it's more a fake 16-bit CPU. It's data bus is physically 8-bit, but the registers can be toggled between 8-bit and 16-bit, and the instructions behave differently depending on the used mode, which can turn out quite complicated - for example a subroutine call that is supposed to be done in 16-bit mode can crash the CPU if called in 8-bit mode and vice-versa. I don't know if this make it "eligible" for a SDCC port. At least the 6502 and 65C02 are eligible. > It might be also interesting to find out whether WDC > (http://www.westerndesigncenter.com/wdc/ ) would be interested to > support such a porting in some way... They already have a C compiler, and like I said, I tried the trial version and they apparently use an software argument stack with slow addressing modes like CC65, which I really dislike.
