Notes
:Compiler Operation
The Pascal/MT compiler exists in two versions, each consisting of two
8080 object code files: FLTCOMP.COM (renamed PASCAL.COM on ARIES-1) and
P2/FLT.OVL for the version in which REAL numbers are implemented as
floating point values internally and BCDCOMP.COM and P2/BCD.OVL for the
version in which REAL numbers are implemented as BCD values internally.
These files are Pass 1 and Pass 2 of the Pascal/MT compiler, respectively.
Also required by the compiler are the following files --
P1ERRORS.TXT - Pass 1 Error Messages
P2ERRORS.TXT - Pass 2 Error Messages
PASCAL/F.RTP - Run-time Package (including debugger) for FLT
PASCAL/B.RTP - Run-time Package (including debugger) for BCD
The input files to the Pascal/MT compiler must have the extension
'.SRC' or '.PAS' indicating that it is a source program file. There must
be a carriage return/line feed sequence at the end of each input line and
an input line may not be longer than 80 characters.
:Invoking Pascal
The Pascal/MT compiler is invoked on ARIES-1 by using the following
command --
PASCAL filename.DL
where 'filename' is the name of the file with the extension '.SRC' or
'.PAS' containing the Pascal/MT source statements to be compiled, D is Y or
N to indicate whether to include the debugger in the resultant .COM file,
and L is Y or N to indicate whether to produce a .PRN file (listing).
PASCAL defaults to no debugger and no listing. The four invocation options
are --
PASCAL filename - no debugger, no listing
PASCAL filename.Y - debugger, no listing
PASCAL filename.NY - no debugger, listing
PASCAL filename.YY - debugger, listing
For usage with the BCD version of the compiler, the commands are
similar except that 'PASCAL' is replaced by 'BCDCOMP'.
:Compilation Switches
Compile-time options may be specified to the compiler from within the
source file. Such options take the form of special comments. The form of
these comments is
(*$o info*) or {$o info}
where 'o' is the letter of the option and 'info' is information
particular to that option. These options are --
$I<filename> Include <filename>.SRC into source stream
$L+ or $L- Turn listing on (default) or Turn listing off
$P Insert form feed into .PRN file
$D+ or $D- Turn debug code on (default) or Turn debug code off
$C+ Use CALL instructions for real operations
$Cn Use RST n for real operations (n=0 ... 7)
$O $aaaa ORG program (run-time) at $aaaa (default 100H)
$R $bbbb ORG RAM data at $bbbb
$Z $cc00 Set run-time size to $cc 256-byte pages
$X $dddd Set run-time stack space to $dddd (default $200)
$S+ or $S- Turn recursion or or Turn recursion off (default)
$Q+ or $Q- Enable verbose output (default) or Disable verbose
:File Input/Output
The standard Pascal READ, READLN, WRITE, and WRITELN statements
are implemented for the CP/M console device. WRITE or WRITELN to a
built-in file called PRINTER is allowed to directly access the CP/M
list device (like, WRITE(PRINTER,'Hello')).
The following extensions are implemented to handle files --
OPEN(fcbname,title,result{,extent_number});
(extent_number defaults to 0)
CLOSE(fcbname,result);
CREATE(fcbname,title,result);
DELETE(fcbname);
BLOCKREAD(fcbname,buffer,result{,relativeblock});
BLOCKWRITE(fcbname,buffer,result{,relativeblock});
where fcbname : a variable of type TEXT (array 0..32 of CHAR)
title : ARRAY [0..11] of CHAR with
title[0]=disk select byte (0=logged in disk,
1=A,...)
title[1..8]=filename and title[9..11]=filetype
result : integer to contain returned value
buffer : ARRAY [0..127] of CHAR
relativeblock : optional integer 0..255
:Special Functions and Procedures
Pascal/MT supports the following special routines --
PROC MOVE(source,dest,length-in-bytes);
PROC EXIT;
FUNC TSTBIT(16-bit-var,bit#):BOOLEAN;
PROC SETBIT(VAR 16-bit-var,bit#);
PROC CLRBIT(VAR 16-bit-var,bit#);
FUNC SHR(16-bit-var,#bits):16-bit-result; {Shift Right}
FUNC SHL(16-bit-var,#bits):16-bit-result; {Shift Left}
FUNC LO(16-bit-var):16-bit-result;
FUNC HI(16-bit-var):16-bit-result;
FUNC SWAP(16-bit-var):16-bit-result;
FUNC ADDR(variable reference):16-bit result;
PROC WAIT(portnum:constant; mask:constant; polarity:boolean);
FUNC SIZEOF(variable or type name):integer;
Please refer to pp 32-33 of "Pascal/MT 3.0 Guide" for further info.
:Pascal/MT Symbolic Debugger
The debugging facilities available to the user when using the
debugger fall into two catagories -- program flow control and variable
display.
If the user wishes to see the commands during the execution of
the debugger, type a '?' followed by a return.
The program flow commands provided in the symbolic debugger allow
the user to debug the Pascal/MT program at the Pascal source statement
level. Included are go/continue (with optional breakpoint), trace,
set/clear/display permanent breakpoint and a mode which will display
the name of each procedure/function on the console as the procedure or
function is entered.
These commands are discussed briefly on the following displays --
Debugger Command: G - Go with optional breakpoint
Syntax: G{,<linenumber>}
G{,<proc/func name>}
Go resumes execution where the program last stopped. Breakpoint
may be optionally set at a specific line or function/procedure.
Debugger Command: T - Trace
Syntax: T{<integer>}
Execute one or more lines of the program.
Debugger Command: E - Procedure/Function Display Toggle
Syntax: {-}E
E engages display of the names of procedures/functions entered;
-E disengages it.
Debugger Command: S - Set/Clear Slow Execution Mode
Syntax: {-}S
S allows the user to select Fast, Medium, or Slow execution
speed; -S causes the program to run at full speed.
Debugger Command: P - Set/Clear Permanent Breakpoint
Syntax: -P (* Clears breakpoint *)
P<linenumber>
P<proc/func name>
P sets the permanent breakpoint; -P clears it.
Debugger Command: B - Display Permanent Breakpoint
Syntax: B
Displays line the permanent breakpoint is set for.
Debugger Command: D - Variable Display
Syntax: D <global var>
D <proc/func name>:<local var>
D <func name>
D <pointer name>^
The D command is used as indicated.
Debugger Commands: +,-,* - Variable Display
Syntax: * -- display last value requested (using D or some other)
+n -- display variable n bytes forward from last
-n -- display variable n bytes backward from last

:Notes
1. Hexadecimal values may be specified as $hhhh, like $1A = 1AH.
2. All standard Pascal type definitions except ARRAY are supported.
The standard form ARRAY...OF ARRAY... must be specified as
ARRAY[...,...,...], and a maximum of three dimensions may be used.
3. Type TEXT is ARRAY [0..35] OF CHAR.
4. Interrupt Procedures, declared as "PROCEDURE INTERRUPT[i] proc;",
are supported, where i is the restart vector number (0..7).
5. CP/M V2 random file access is supported by RANDOMREAD and
RANDOMWRITE.
6. Machine code, constant data, and assembly language code may be
inserted using INLINE (see pp 37-39 of "Pascal/MT 3.0 User Guide").
7. Chaining is supported by CHAIN, whose usage is "CHAIN(filename)".
8. Redirected I/O is supported (see pp 42-43).
