Help me!
So I'm coding some EasyFlash stuff so most often the kernel is swapped in ($01 = #$37).
Take a look at the following chis (VICE cpu history): https://i.postimg.cc/sg9xL7xV/temp-Image-Gb-W5z-N.avif
I'm putting a CR to $ffd2 and all goes well until it hits $ed41 where the CPU fetches a JAM-instruction. How's that even possible?! The ROM can't be altered. Comparing to ROM-listings it should do a JSR $EE97 there.
There is a SEI just infront if that matters.
(Only tested in HEAD VICE and some older version like 3.6 and 3.8). Could it be an emulation bug?
((Nevermind the .arbX label, it's just my loaded labels from the assembler. In the ROM it's just BIT $94)).
It happens VERY seldom. |

Maybe you just want a way to issue a flush from a guest-side KERNAL call? =)
Not when single step debugging and the output has been triggered, and you're watching the debug log file in an external editor. In those situations the external editor visible log file won't reflect the most recent events until they are flushed, which can be several C64 logging calls behind. |

A way for VICE to intercept standard kernel I/O-calls and execute them immediatly instead of doing the full emulation of the $dd00-dance. |

So basically, by attaching a raw printer that emits to a file and the do an open 1,4,7 you’ll get an easy debug print interface via $ffd2. |

Imo it shouldn’t be line buffered at all - ever. When you send a character to a printer connected to a c64, that character is printed directly. And so should it behave when emulated to a file also.
Maybe a toggle switch in the VICE-settings. |

I believe those extra fflush calls are what screws up your warpmode in windows :=) |

Highely likely. I wouldn’t use fflush explicitly though now that I think of it.
I’d do a setvbuf to turn off buffering on the stream, and use fcntl() with O_DSYNC | O_RSYNC on the underlying FD. The OS block-level cache should be able to ensure the same speed even if the stream itself is unbuffered.
Will try on my already patched VICE-install. :) |

feel free to examine other fflush calls in the log code :) |

Yeah. Also, would be fun to do a gprof in warpmode to see the bottlenecks. :) |
