Feature coverage per architecture

Karol Stasiak edited this page Jul 30, 2018 · 34 revisions

The following table shows which features are implemented for which CPU architecture.

feature 6502 65816 Z80 8080 LR35902
*, *= ✔️ ✔️ 🐌 🐌 🐌
-', -'= 📺1 ✔️ ✔️ 2 ✔️
>>', >>'= ✔️ ✔️
other decimal operators 📺1 ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️
signed comparisons ⚠️ ⚠️ 2
stack variables ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ 🐌 🐌
assembly ✳️3 🚧 ✔️ ✔️4 ✔️4
other features ✔️ 🐌 ✔️ ✔️ ✔️
optimization ✔️ 🚧5 🚧 🚧 🚧
Legend:

✔️ – implemented
📺 – implemented only for subarchitectures that support it natively
🐌 – implemented, but suboptimal
✳️ – implemented fully for the base architecture, but partially for extensions
🚧 – partially implemented
⚠️ – implemented, but incorrectly
❌ – not implemented yet

Notes:
  1. Not available on Ricoh processors due to the lack of hardware support.

  2. No hardware support.

  3. All 6502, 65SC02 and 65CE02 instructions are supported. 65C02 bit setting/testing instructions, some HuC6280 instructions and some 65816 instructions and addressing modes are not supported.

  4. Zilog syntax only.

  5. Optimized for the processor in the emulation mode used as an accelerator for a 6502-based system. Doesn't utilize its full capabilities in the native mode.

Further remarks

  • Implemented features may require a zeropage register on 6502 targets.

  • 65816 code is quite suboptimal. If you're targeting a 65816 machine only, consider using something else for the time being.

  • CPU's from the 6800 and 8086 families might be added in the future.
