Programming language: Amiga C/C++ Visual Studio Code Extension 1.5.5
Bartman', member of the demo group 'Abyss', provides with 'amiga-debug' a 'Visual Studio Code' extension for "compiling, debugging and profiling Amiga C/C++ programs compiled by the bundled gcc 11.2 with the bundled WinUAE" (YouTube video). Yesterday version 1.5.5 was released. Changes:
- NEW: VASM assembler with debugging support
- GAS keeps the .s extension; VASM uses the .asm extension.
- VASM has been modified to provide valid DWARF section names to make the extension debugger to work (although you can debug using the official version prefixing code section names with .text).
- The assembly language provider has been updated to validate assembly sources against either GAS or VASM depending on the source code file extension.
- Syntax highlighting, symbol search and error squiggles support.
- NEW: DMA Control shows BltPri
- NEW: assembly: hover over custom register name to get documentation
- NEW: assembly: hover over status register bits to get more info
- FIX: assembly: Find Ctrl+F now case-insensitive
- FIX: screen: fix sprites over HAM
- FIX: copper: improve performance
- NEW: copper: Find Ctrl+F
Parallel to this original expansion there is a fork by David Caņadas Mazo, which focuses less on stability and more on additional features (amiga-news.de reported). Many of his changes flow back into the original extension. Version 1.5.6 was released here yesterday. (dr)
