PDPjs MACRO-10 Mini-Assembler Tests
-----------------------------------
The PDP-10 machine below automatically loads and assembles [TEXT.MAC](TEXT.MAC.txt), one of the
first tests of the built-in PDPjs MACRO-10 Mini-Assembler.
[TEXT.MAC](TEXT.MAC.txt) is a copy of the file listed on p. 7-9 of the
[MACRO-10 Assembler Programmer's Reference Manual (June 1972)](/pubs/dec/pdp10/). It's a simple test
of nested macro definitions, recursion, expressions using shift operators and character constants,
and pseudo-ops **IRPC**, **IFE**, **IFN**, and **EXP**. It generates 4 words of data.
{% include machine.html id="testka10" %}
After the machine executes the following command:
a 100 /apps/pdp10/tests/macro10/TEXT.MAC
the following results should appear:
starting PCjs MACRO-10 Mini-Assembler...

and if you dump the first 4 words with the command `db 100 l4`:

; From the MACR0-10 ASSEMBLER PROGRAMMER'S REFERENCE MANUAL (June 1972):
;
; Example 4 (Figure 7-4) shows nested macros which use IRPC. The desired operation
; is to take an ASCII text string and store the characters four per word, left-justified,
; with the character count stored in the first nine bits of the first word.
;
; The TEXT macro counts the string characters and invokes the CODE macro to store the
; characters four per word. The CODE macro invokes a SHIFT macro which left-justifies the
; last word if it is not already left-justified. The first part of the example shows the
; normal listing, then SALL is set to show what code the macros are generating.
;
; The original listing encoded two of the lines as follows:
;
; IFN ZZ,<DEFINE SHIFT ;;REMAINDER LEFT
; IFE ZZ&777B8,> ;;IF NOT LEFT JUSTIFIED
;
; The April 1978 MACRO-10 manual says that a macro body "must be enclosed in angle brackets",
; so the DEFINE looks wrong, and the IFE contains only a closing angle bracket, which also seems
; wrong. Perhaps what's shown above is a side-effect of some MACRO-10 listing generation bug
; and not an accurate reflection of the original code. In any event, after making two small
; modifications below, macro10.js is able to assemble the code fine.
;
; This example also begs the question: did MACRO-10 optimize tail recursion? Because without
; it, if the SHIFT macro required many iterations (for example, if "ZZ==ZZ_9" was replaced with
; "ZZ==ZZ+9"), wouldn't MACRO-10 blow its stack? I've noted this in macro10.js as well.
