Support for half-word load/store

Open jgfoster opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

I've been using version 1 for teaching assembly language and a student showed me this new version; very nice!

One thing that would be nice is to support half-word load/store instructions. Thanks.

from a pedagogical POV that is less necessary, given we have bytes, but it would not be difficult and I can see it could be useful.

Alas our development focus is currently ISSIE and Visual2 is now using a very outdated build. Updating the build is not so simple because it will mean updating the editor component which is complex, and also very difficult to build.

So it will need a concerted effort to get things in a state where new dev is possible. It is something I'd like to do, will need the right student.
