[Simulavr-devel] Self-programming question

[Quatre Horrace]

Hello. I am interested in simulating an application on the atmega128, and found 
your simulator. For most of what I need, it is perfect. So, thanks for 
developing it!

One thing that I want to test in my application is self-programming flash using 
the SPM command. The stable branch in the git repository does not provide 
support for the SPM instruction. However, the master branch seems to, as there 
is code for it in decode.cpp. What is the state of the master branch, and would 
I be able to use the SPM command successfully? 

If yes, I think in the SPM code in decode.cpp, using SPM outside of the 
No-Read-White-Write section is ignored. From what I can tell from the atmega128 
data sheets, it seems the microcontroller will allow the SPM command both in 
the Read-While-Write and No-Read-While-Write sections. Is preventing the SPM 
command in the Read-While-Write section a simplification, to prevent 
potentially unpredictable behaviour?

One last question. Is there an example or test available showing the simulator 
using the SPM command?

Thanks!
