.SH DESCRIPTION
Reads one of more \fBasm-11\fP(1) listing files and checks for unexpected
assembly errors and tests for expected address and generated data values.
What is expected is specified by comments, described in the
section EXPECT COMMENTS, which are added to the asm-11 source code.
asm-11 will copy these comments to the listing file and asm-11_expect extracts
them and checks whether the actual assembly results match the expected ones.
.PP
asm-11_expect produces at least a one-line summary per file like
.PP
.EX
asm-11_expect: test_0010_alloc.lst OK
asm-11_expect: test_0020_expr.lst OK
.EE
.PP
where each file is marked either \fBOK\fR or \fBFAILED\fR.
In case of detected errors, additional output follows which describes
each error and the affected listing line, like
.PP
.EX
asm-11_expect: test_0110_op_gg.lst FAILED
FAIL: data 1 mismatch: found=177736, expect=177734
in: 1 27 001042 067700 177736 add @pa,r0 ;;!! 067700 177734
.EE
.PP
The main application for asm-11_expect is to build self-checking test benches
for \fBasm-11\fP(1).
.

.\" ------------------------------------------------------------------
.SH EXPECT COMMENTS
The special comments which describe what to expect for an assembly line
have the format
.PP
.EX
;;!! [\fIetags\fP] [\fIaddr\fP:] [\fIdata\fP]...
.EE
.PP
with
.PP
.PD 0
.IP "\fBetags\fP"
list of expected assembly error flags, given as a sequence of uppercase letters
without white space between letters.
.IP "\fBaddr\fP"
expected location counter (value of '.'), given as 6 digit octal number.
Note that all 6 digits must be specified, even leading zeros.
.IP "\fBdata\fP"
expected generated assembly output data, given as a blank-separated list
of either 3 (for byte output) or 6 (for word output) digit octal numbers.
Again, all 3 or 6 digits must be specified, even leading zeros.
This is checked against the data section of the assembly listing.
.br
In general, this is used to check data emitted into the binary output.
However, some assembler statements, e.g. assignments or directives like .end,
indicate some result value in the data section, and this can of course be
checked as well.
.PD
.PP
All three components are optional. Error flags are always tested, if no
\fIetags\fP are specified it is checked that no assembly error flag has
been generated for the line. Address and data tests are only done in case
\fIaddr\fP or \fIdata\fP components have been given.
.PP
If a line starts with an expect comment it will be applied to the asm-11
statement in the following line. Or it is simply appended to an asm-11
statement.
.SS Comment examples
.IP "\fB;;!! DM\fR" 4
expect a D and a M error flag
.IP "\fB;;!! 001020:\fR"
expect that the current location will be 001020, data not checked
.IP "\fB;;!! 074167 177762\fR"
expect that the listing data section shows two words, 074167 and 177762.
The address is not checked.
.IP "\fB;;!! 001004: 000207\fR"
expect that the current location will be 001004 and that the listing data
section shows one word with the value 000207.
.SS Some practical cases
.EX
.word 65537. ;;!! T
sob r4,s4 ;;!! A
stkbot: .blkw 400 ;;!! 001000:
.word 100+77 ;;!! 000177

.end ;;!! 000001
.EE

.SH OPTIONS
.
.\" ----------------------------------------------
.IP "\fB\-\-tline\fR"
Prints input lines from the listing file as they are processed. Helpful to
debug expect comments, e.g. in conjunction with the \fB-\-tcheck\fR
option.
.
.\" ----------------------------------------------
.IP "\fB\-\-tcheck\fR"
Prints for each detected expect comment in the listing file a line reflecting
the content of the comment, like
.EX
...line generated by \-\-tcheck ... | original expect comment
exp: err=T | ;;!! T
exp: dot=001000 | ;;!! 001000:
exp: dat=060037 001000 | ;;!! 060037 001000
exp: dot=001006 dat=004767 | ;;!! 001006: 004767
.EE
.
.\" ----------------------------------------------
.IP "\fB\-\-help\fR"
print full help text and exit.
.
.\" ------------------------------------------------------------------
.SH EXIT STATUS
In case of an error, the exit codes are:
.RS
.PD 0
.IP \fB1\fP 3
run time errors, like a bad option, file not found, etc
.IP \fB2\fP 3
at least one expect FAILed, test bench has FAILed
.PD
.RE
.
.\" ------------------------------------------------------------------
.SH EXAMPLES
.IP "\fBasm-11_expect *.lst\fR" 4
Will check all listing files in the current directory and produce a listing
with at least one summary line per file as described in section DESCRIPTION.
