57 **SixtyPical** is a [low-level](#low-level) programming language
6 supporting a sophisticated [static analysis](#static-analysis).
8 supporting some advanced [static analysis](#static-analysis) methods.
79 Its reference compiler can generate [efficient code](#efficient-code) for
810 several 6502-based [target platforms](#target-platforms) while catching many
911 common mistakes at compile-time, reducing the time spent in debugging.

5454 constraints might be violated in this case. We should probably disallow
5555 recursion by default. (Which means assembling the callgraph in all cases.)
5656
57 However note, it's okay for a routine to goto itself. It's a common
58 pattern for implementing a state machine, for a routine to tail-goto a
59 vector, which might contain the address of the same routine.
60
61 The problems only come up, I think, when a routine calls itself re-entrantly.
62
63 So the callgraph would need to distinguish between these two cases.

5765 ### Analyze memory usage
5866
5967 If you define two variables that occupy the same address, an analysis error ought
8290 For analysis errors, there is a line number, but it's the line of the routine
8391 after the routine in which the analysis error occurred. Fix this.

93 ### Better selection of options
94
95 `-O` should turn on the standard optimizations.
96
97 There should maybe be a flag to turn off tail-call optimization.
98
99 Some options should automatically add the appropriate architecture include
100 directory to the path.

107 Seems you're not be able to get killed unless you go off the top or bottom of
108 the screen? In particular, you cannot collide with a bar?

1212 In the [c64](c64/) directory are programs that run on the Commodore 64.
1313 The directory itself contains some simple demos, for example
1414 [hearts.60p](c64/hearts.60p), while there are subdirectories for more
15 elaborate demos:
16
17 * [demo-game](c64/demo-game/): a little game-like program written as a
18 "can we write something you'd see in practice?" test case for SixtyPical.
19
20 * [ribos](c64/ribos/): a well-commented example of a C64 raster interrupt
21 routine. Originally written with the P65 assembler (which has since
22 been reborn as [Ophis][]).
23
24 The second version of Ribos has been translated to SixtyPical.
25
26 * [petulant](c64/petulant/): "The PETulant Cursor", a tiny (44 bytes)
27 "display hack". Originally written in the late 80's. Rewritten with
28 the P65 assembler (now Ophis) and re-released on April 1st, 2008 (a
29 hint as to its nature).
30
31 Translated to SixtyPical (in 2018), after adding some optimizations
32 to the SixtyPical compiler, the resulting executable is still 44 bytes!
15 elaborate demos, like the flagship demo game. See
16 [the README in that directory](c64/README.md) for details.
