Emacs major mode for the uxntal assembly language.
(use-package uxntal-mode)(straight-use-package 'uxntal-mode)Copy uxntal-mode.el to the desired location and then modify init.el:
;; ensure the directory containing uxntal-mode.el is mentioned
;; in emacs' load-path variable.
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/lisp/")
;; then load uxntal-mode
(require 'uxntal-mode)Currently-supported features:
- Syntax highlighting
- Invoking
uxnasmviaM-x compile - Explaining Uxntal words (
uxntal-explain-word)- Decodes instructions, showing their stack effects
- Shows decimal values of numeric constants
- Explains syntactic category (e.g. "sublabel definition")
- Imenu support for macro definitions and labels
Future features:
- Interactive evaluation
- Support for goto-definition (
M-.) - Decimal -> hexadecimal conversions
- ASCII conversions
- Input string literal as bytes
By default uxntal-mode is lax about comment highlighting. This means that some
invalid comments such as (this) or (that ) or ( these) will be highlighted
incorrectly.
If you would prefer to have stricter comment highlighting which forbids all
invalid comments (but may also forbid valid comments like ( )) set
uxntal-mode-strict-comments to t.
Unfortunately both modes fail on words like worst-case-( due to limitations
in how Emacs handles multiline comments.
