I've been looking through the tms9900.c file, here are some random notes for later:

The SP currently points at the bottommost used register, but every other machine I know points at the topmost free address, I should probably chnage that. Shouldn't be a big deal, but may break backwards-compatability.

I fixed the df_ref_record crash. The problem was not respecting the difference between strict and non-strict validation in GO_IF_LEGITIMATE_ADDRESS. When in non-strict mode, all pseudoregisters are treated as if they were real registers. In strict mode, they are treated as memory locations.

Since this distinction was not made, the value (r10+18) was treated as a register, accepted by GO_IF_LEGITIMATE_ADDRESS, and things blew up later. Now, that construct is seen as invalid, and GCC refactors the expression to find an equivalent valid form.

Back to printf...
