Hi, When the compiler comes, it would be interesting to precompile some A-Trap handlers located in ROM. The "some" are yet to be defined but this could be the 20-30 most frequently used traps. Those handlers can be assigned permanent translation because ROM won't get written so we could just use MAE's trick and therefore reserve a set of illegal opcodes to patch in the ROM. A problem arises then: is there some very weird programs that rely on really illegal opcodes ? Suggested name: FindROMTrap if I understand well Christian's coding standard. -- Gwenolé Beauchesne |
