Autopsy
=======

--------
Overview
--------
Traditionally Retro has had only limited debugging capabilities. There's
the typical **.s** to display the stack, and various releases have provided
*see* for decompiling functions. For 11.0, we want something more powerful.
The solution is Autopsy.


-----
Tools
-----

Decompiler
==========
This allows you to examine the compiled code for a function in a readable
manner.

The decompiler has two display modes. The default, written by Marc Simpson,
displays each memory cell as a box, in a clean, very readable manner. This
is the *horizontal* mode, and is the default.

::

  ok  see cr

  +--------------++--------------++--------------++--------------+
  | 403          || 404          || 405          || 406          |
  |--------------||--------------||--------------||--------------|
  | 0            || 0            || 1            || 10           |
  | nop          || nop          || lit          || 10           |
  +--------------++--------------++--------------++--------------+
  +--------------++--------------+
  | 407          || 408          |
  |--------------||--------------|
  | 391          || 9            |
  | putc         || ;            |
  +--------------++--------------+

There is also a *vertical* mode. In this mode, the **cr** disassembly appears
as:

::

  403 nop
  404 nop
  405 lit   10
  407 call  391
  408 ;

To toggle the modes, use the **vertical** variable.

::

  vertical on   ( use vertical mode   )
  vertical off  ( use horizontal mode )


Memory Explorer
===============
The memory explorer lets you examine memory interactively, starting at an
address or a specific function.

::

  explore address
  explore function

The key bindings are:

+-----+----------------------------------+
| Key | Usage                            |
+=====+==================================+
| i   | Backtrack display by one address |
+-----+----------------------------------+
| j   | Backtrack display by one screen  |
+-----+----------------------------------+
| k   | Advance display by one address   |
+-----+----------------------------------+
| l   | Advance display by one screen    |
+-----+----------------------------------+
| z   | Quit Autospy                     |
+-----+----------------------------------+
| ?   | Display this help screen         |
+-----+----------------------------------+
| 1   | Jump to address                  |
+-----+----------------------------------+



Single Stepper
==============
This is a new tool. It combines a virtualized Ngaro implementation and allows
watching execution progress step by step.

To allow for debugging in a sandboxed environment, the single stepper makes
a copy of the current image in memory (located at roughly 16k cells above
**here**), and provides for a private address stack. The data stack is shared
between Retro and the sandboxed image.

Exection of an instruction can be done using **step**. To execute multiple
instructions, use **steps**.

There is guard code to stop further execution when the function exits.

Output
``````
When **step** is executed, Autopsy will display the current IP, RSP, SP,
the data stack contents, and the instruction being executed. E.g.:

::

  ok  step
  ------------------------
  IP: 405  RSP: 0  SP: 0
  <0>
  405 lit   10
  ------------------------

  ok  step
  ------------------------
  IP: 407  RSP: 0  SP: 1
  <1> 10
  407 call  391
  ------------------------
