Root cause of the deferred CALL/RET test: my chip was missing the
0xC6 / 0xC7 (Group 11 — MOV r/m, imm) opcodes. Bytes like the
test's "MOV byte [0x8002], 0x55" (0xC6 0x06 0x02 0x80 0x55) fell
through to the default NOP, then the chip decoded the residual
0x06 0x02 0x80 0x55 as PUSH ES + ADD r/m + ... taking SP into
unpredictable territory.
Implementation:
- 0xC6 (8-bit) and 0xC7 (16-bit) variants added.
- The encoding is opcode + modrm + disp + imm. Critically the disp
bytes (consumed by calc_ea) come BEFORE the immediate, so we
compute EA first, then fetch imm. Earlier draft had imm fetched
before disp — that had imm winning the disp slot and disp becoming
the next instruction's bytes. Caught only after wiring CALL+RET.
Tests: 8086 10→11 passing. Total test_intel: 93→94 passing,
0 failed, 11 todo. CALL/RET integration test now active and green.
