tabbed view for source & opcodes

[Onkar Shinde]

please consider providing the source and opcode view via two tabs, so that it can be easily switched directly.

Also, for learning purposes it would be tremendously helpful if the resulting opcode for a given line could be directly shown as a tooltip retaining instruction & parameter semantics

I mentioned in another related RFE that I feel the opcode view should probably be set readonly by default?

If the "load me at" facility is used, the in-memory offsets of each line of code could also be dynamically calculated an used to augment the source line numbers, either directly or as a tooltip

an opcode view might also benefit from some minor syntax highlighting to directly illustrate which bits correspond to the given mnemonic,and which ones correspond to the operands - for example in the opcode view, differentiate between mnemonic and operands, and use the same colors for the corresponding opcode bits. This would be useful while learning the ISA of the 8085, because it would be directly obvious how mnemonics translate to their opcode equivalents.

Also, some users might be interested in saving a hex dump of the created opcodes to a file, to use gnusim8085 as a simple assembler for creating programs that they can upload to their real hardware

This is also a UI issue

but it's a good idea to have this!

anyone looking into this should be aware that there are some issues in the code that creates the assembly listing, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnusim8085/+bug/680399

Namely:
- creation of listing takes about 3-5 seconds, regardless of the source code being trivial or not
- more than 8000 lines of code/comments, crashes the program completely

So if the idea is to permanently re-create the assembly listing in order to provide it on a differen tab, these issues need to be sorted first.
