  2. """check_runtime.py -- structural check of the 8086 runtime blob.
  3. The runtime is hand-assembled byte by byte in Runtime.mod, so the only way
  4. to know it is right is to look at the bytes. This sweeps the code region
  5. with FCML (see disasm16.py) and asserts the properties that a wrong emitter
  6. cannot produce:
  7. 1. every instruction decodes, and the decoded lengths tile the code region
  8. exactly - a single byte-length mistake desynchronises the sweep, so a
  9. clean sweep means the lengths are all right;
  10. 2. every RT_Entry offset is an instruction boundary;
  11. 3. every relative branch (Jcc, JMP, LOOP) and CALL target is an instruction
  12. boundary inside the code region;
  13. 4. the full disassembly matches tests/runtime.golden byte for byte;
  14. 5. each entry still begins with the instruction sequence it is supposed to
  15. begin with (semantic goldens, not positional ones, so they survive
  16. legitimate size changes but catch a wrong ModRM byte).
  17. Points 1-3 exist because they give readable diagnostics for the two most
  18. common classes of mistake (wrong instruction length, wrong fixup). They are
  19. NOT sufficient on their own - they all pass on code that decodes cleanly but
  20. means the wrong thing. Concretely: with MovAlDh emitting `8A C0`
  21. (`mov al,al`) instead of `8A C6` (`mov al,dh`), the sweep stayed in sync, every
  22. branch target stayed on a boundary, and no entry's first bytes changed, so all
  23. three checks passed on provably broken code. That is why check 4 exists: it
  24. catches any wrong-but-well-formed instruction, not just the ones that happen
  25. to break the structure.
  26. Re-baselining the golden
  27. ------------------------
  28. Check 4 fails on *every* legitimate edit to Runtime.mod, because inserting an
  29. instruction moves every later offset. That is intended: the golden forces a
  30. human to look at the whole new disassembly and say "yes, that is what I meant".
  31. python3 tests/check_runtime.py --bless # rewrite tests/runtime.golden
  32. git diff tests/runtime.golden # READ THE DIFF, then commit
  33. Do not use --bless to silence a red test. Re-baseline only after reading the
  34. diff and confirming the change is the one you intended; write the reason in the
  35. commit message. An fcml upgrade may also change instruction *wording* (not
  36. meaning) and require a re-baseline for the same reason.

  124. # well formed, the size did not change, the decode said exactly what it
  125. # said, and the entries still worked. What was wrong was that BP is the
  126. # one register an entry may keep, because the driver keeps its cursor into
