[Solved] Can't implement tests that are too complex

[DamienCassou]

For project 07, I wanted to have a test that would check for all operations (eq, gt, lt, and, or, add, sub...). So, I'm writing a MyTest.tst file that contains something like:

output-list RAM[0]%D2.6.2 RAM[256]%D2.6.2 RAM[257]%D2.6.2
            RAM[258]%D2.6.2 RAM[259]%D2.6.2 RAM[260]%D2.6.2 RAM[261]%D2.6.2
            RAM[262]%D2.6.2 RAM[263]%D2.6.2 RAM[264]%D2.6.2 // gt
            RAM[265]%D2.6.2 RAM[266]%D2.6.2 RAM[267]%D2.6.2 RAM[268]%D2.6.2 // and
            RAM[269]%D2.6.2 RAM[270]%D2.6.2 RAM[271]%D2.6.2 // add
            RAM[272]%D2.6.2 RAM[273]%D2.6.2 RAM[274]%D2.6.2 RAM[275]%D2.6.2 // or
            ;

but I get an error message saying there are too many arguments. So, is there a better way to write such a test?

Thank you

You can split it into two output lines. You need to put output-list commands everywhere you do an output. Here's your output done in project 4's mult.tst.

load Mult.hack,
output-file Mult.out;

set RAM[0] 0,
set RAM[1] 0;
repeat 20 {
  ticktock;
}
output-list RAM[0]%D2.6.2 RAM[256]%D2.6.2 RAM[257]%D2.6.2
            RAM[258]%D2.6.2 RAM[259]%D2.6.2 RAM[260]%D2.6.2 RAM[261]%D2.6.2
            RAM[262]%D2.6.2 RAM[263]%D2.6.2 RAM[264]%D2.6.2 // gt
            ;
output;
output-list RAM[265]%D2.6.2 RAM[266]%D2.6.2 RAM[267]%D2.6.2 RAM[268]%D2.6.2 // and
            RAM[269]%D2.6.2 RAM[270]%D2.6.2 RAM[271]%D2.6.2 // add
            RAM[272]%D2.6.2 RAM[273]%D2.6.2 RAM[274]%D2.6.2 RAM[275]%D2.6.2 // or
            ;
output;

set PC 0,
set RAM[0] 1,
set RAM[1] 0;
repeat 50 {
  ticktock;
}
output-list RAM[0]%D2.6.2 RAM[256]%D2.6.2 RAM[257]%D2.6.2
            RAM[258]%D2.6.2 RAM[259]%D2.6.2 RAM[260]%D2.6.2 RAM[261]%D2.6.2
            RAM[262]%D2.6.2 RAM[263]%D2.6.2 RAM[264]%D2.6.2 // gt
            ;
output;
output-list RAM[265]%D2.6.2 RAM[266]%D2.6.2 RAM[267]%D2.6.2 RAM[268]%D2.6.2 // and
            RAM[269]%D2.6.2 RAM[270]%D2.6.2 RAM[271]%D2.6.2 // add
            RAM[272]%D2.6.2 RAM[273]%D2.6.2 RAM[274]%D2.6.2 RAM[275]%D2.6.2 // or
            ;
output;

Thank you very much, you solved my problem. And the output is much easier to compare now. Here is my current file for those interested.

load MyTest.asm,
output-file MyTest.out,
compare-to MyTest.cmp,

set RAM[0] 256,

repeat 10000 {
  ticktock;
}

output-list RAM[0]%D2.6.2 ; // @SP
output;
output-list RAM[256]%D2.6.2 RAM[257]%D2.6.2 RAM[258]%D2.6.2; // eq
output;
output-list RAM[259]%D2.6.2 RAM[260]%D2.6.2 RAM[261]%D2.6.2; // lt
output;
output-list RAM[262]%D2.6.2 RAM[263]%D2.6.2 RAM[264]%D2.6.2; // gt
output;
output-list RAM[265]%D2.6.2 RAM[266]%D2.6.2 RAM[267]%D2.6.2 RAM[268]%D2.6.2; // and
output;
output-list RAM[269]%D2.6.2 RAM[270]%D2.6.2 RAM[271]%D2.6.2; // add
output;
output-list RAM[272]%D2.6.2 RAM[273]%D2.6.2 RAM[274]%D2.6.2 RAM[275]%D2.6.2; // or
output;
