Amiga Assembly extension for Visual Studio Code

[BippyM]

I enabled :stoponentry and it started to work again. Weird

Well, I saw it... start to debug trying to understand, and it started working and I can't make it fail again !

What I did before it works :
- I've edited the launch file and removed all the configurations, kept only one debug configuration and start debugging (F5).
I thought it was a corrupted file but restoring the zip does not make it fail again.

Can you try the same procedure ?
Does it work with default workspace ?

Something is definitely wrong with the file, maybe the crlf.. weird...

Something is definitely wrong. I have not changed anything. I saved my changes, then went to bed. Got up and attempted to resume, and now i get "Invalid program to debug - review launch settings" error.



edit: nevermind, I was trying to jump to a branch that didn't exist

I have been trying to get this setup for a few days now and have found that the script does not work on mac os big sur. After some trying I installed it without problems of OSX mavericks and now have working 68000 coding setup.

Trying to run on Big Sur the script for building does find FS-Uae and errors out on the run command.

I did not use a developer apple key to build it. Maybe you need to run it once and accept the "unknown" developer alert.

Another day.

Been coding all day with no issues, pop out and when I return I cannot compile..

[BippyM]

I've now tried with a fresh install of the example workspace. Makes no difference. It won't compile, same error.

Wanted to give a go but with some of the posts seen here, think I will try something else...
Or do you still think it can be worth it?

Select the "OUTPUT" tab and in the combo select "Amiga Assembly" you will get some logs that might be interesting.

I can't answer this question myself .

It's literally the best if you are programming in asm. Being able to source debug in a system killer demo is amazing.

If you are more into C then Bartman's dev env is a better option. But for asm nothing else is close

Thank you for the answer.
So will give a go. I hope I will encounter less issues than BippyM

It's probably my lack of knowledge and experience

Sorted, brilliant.

Totally worth it. Installation takes a few minutes. After that, you'll have a comfortable programming environment with modern editor, syntax-highlighting, super fast assembling and linking, and an accurate emulation with WinUAE. Plus source code debugging! All in one. I don't think there is anything more comfortable for Amiga programming in assembler for now.

I'm, as you suggested, modifying the build task to have a better feedback when it fails.

Thanks. Was a bit afraid regarding BippyM's issues. Have downloaded everything. Will give a go in the following days.

Most of my issues are down to me not understanding everything. My only real gripe is the lack of decent, thorough documentation. I didn't know there was output for the compilation and linking for example.


There are a few idea's and features I would like to see implemented though

[BippyM]

How can I view registers/memory or whatever as binary?

I want to see how bits change, are set and so on at the binary level as I step through code

[prb28]

There is no way to have it in real time, you can transform it with the calculator: type F1 and “calculator”.
