This emulates the classic LINC. The design was settled in 1965,
increasing memory to 2048 words, and adding a Z register, an overflow
flag, and an interrupt facility.
- Nuke and reinstall HomeBrew for macOS builds. Gets around the whole
problem of stale links and conflicting packages installed in the GitHub
macOS images.
- macOS 12 and Ubuntu 20.04 officially deprecated. Ubuntu 20.04 will be
removed from GitHub's runner images on 01 APR 2025.
- .travis/deps.sh: Add mingw32 as a dependency target, enable MinGW64
32-bit builds.
- Work around LTO bug on Ubuntu and macOS compilers, where LTO appears
to miscalculate the number of bytes stored when using the default byte
swapping 'for' loop. This is a workaround that uses compiler swapping
intrinsics for well known sizes that appeases LTO. The alternative is
to wait for a compiler fix, which is infeasible.
- Per Github messages, upgrade checkout@v3 to checkout@v4 due to an
upgrade to Node.js.
- macos-11 is now a defunct image runner. Homebrew packages either have
to compile from source or no longer install correctly.
- Update the macos compile matrix. Set CPACK_SUFFIX environment variable
to indicate macOS hardware platform: macos-14 is M1, whereas macos-12
and macos-13 are x86_64.
- Added notes with respect to the matrix.strategy runner images. The
makefile builds use "-latest" because they don't produce artifacts,
while (*) the CMake builds enumerate the images for which artifacts (+)
are produced and the runner image's name is part of the artifact.
(*) "Whilst" for the rest of the Anglosphere.
(+) "Artefact" for the rest of the Anglosphere.
- Fix comma separator code segmentation fault: "ndigit - 3" can become a
very large unsigned number for ndigit < 3.
- dir_cmd: Allocate WildName from heap to reduce stack pressure.
- Github CI/CD: Remnant symlink issue reappeared, afflicting the
makefile-based build. For better or worse, the workaround is now
dependent on specific Python versions that must be removed, unlinked
and any remnant symlinks that HomeBrew decided it needed to install in
/usr/local/bin. The Python upgrade is triggered by the sdl2_ttf
package.
According to the Github image maintainers, this is an old, known issue
in macOS images that originates inside of Homebrew.
* CMake build infrastructure
The squashed commit that builds and packages releases for the SIMH
simulator suite with CMake, version 3.14 or newer.
See README-CMake.md for documentation.
- Configure run on push and pull requests
- Use new macos and ubuntu OS images
- Add missing simulators from the build list
- Add potential LTO option for makefile builds
