Running the Simulator

/u/cs126/bin/toy simulates the TOY machine. To run it, use a command of the form

/u/cs126/bin/toy [ option | file ]...

toy loads and executes the TOY program in each of its file arguments, or loads and executes the TOY program in the standard input if there are no file arguments. After execution of each file, toy prints a dump of the registers and the nonzero 8-word blocks of memory on the standard error output.

Try /u/cs126/bin/toy /u/cs126/toy/horner.toy

Before toy loads the contents of a file argument, it clears memory and the registers. Lines in file arguments that begin

xx: yyyy

where xx and yyyy are hexadecimal numbers initialize memory location xx to yyyy. Lines that begin with just xx establish xx as the starting address. Memory initializations and starting addresses may occur in any order. Repeated occurrences of starting addresses or memory initializations are accepted and overwrite previous values. Trailing characters on these lines and all other lines are treated as comments. For examples, see /u/cs126/toy.

The -l option causes toy to print a "load trace" as it loads file into memory.

Try /u/cs126/bin/toy -l /u/cs126/toy/horner.toy

The -t option causes toy to trace the execution of the TOY programs. For each instruction, it prints a line on the standard error output giving the PC and summarizing the instruction and its result.

Try /u/cs126/bin/toy -t /u/cs126/toy/sum.toy

The -s option causes toy to execute instructions one-at-a-time and prompt for an option after executing each instruction. The prompt is

/u/cs126/bin/toy> [cdqts^Dh?]

Responding with an h or ? elicits a list of responses and actions and another prompt:

c or Enter      continue
d       dump
t       toggle tracing
s       toggle stepping
q       quit (no dump)
^D      dump and quit
h or ?  this message
/u/cs126/bin/toy> [cdqts^Dh?]

A newline or c continues execution; d, t, or s prints a dump, toggles tracing, or toggles stepping, and reprompts. q terminates execution and Ctrl-D prints a dump then terminates. -s is usually used with -t.

Both options are toggles: They turn on the option if it's off and vice versa.

The source code for the simulator is in /u/cs126/toy/toy.c.
